In the evening, the Nanzhou Municipal Government invited Ms. Lin Qing, the Vice President of Gray Group, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Acting Mayor Chen Xing, Executive Vice Mayor Li Haocheng, and other municipal leaders to a banquet at the Nanzhou Hotel.
During the banquet, everyone toasted with each other. Lin Qing's elegant way of talking and extensive knowledge left a deep impression on everyone. Executive Vice Mayor Li Haocheng even toasted with her frequently. Li Haocheng's unexpected enthusiasm surprised everyone.
I don't think Mayor Chen has drunk much. Come, let me propose a toast to Mayor Chen. Lin Qing, who had just finished her glass with Li Haocheng, raised her glass again to propose a toast to Chen Xing. Everyone looked at each other. They were all surprised by Lin Qing's alcohol tolerance. Some even cheered.
CEO Lin proposed a toast to me. It seems like I have to drink. Chen Xing smiled and clinked glasses with Lin Qing. Half a glass of white wine went down his stomach. From his throat to his stomach, he felt a burning sensation as if he was on fire.
Mayor Chen is also a good drinker. CEO Lin should drink a few more glasses with our Mayor Chen. Li Haocheng said with a smile. He looked at Lin Qing with a strange fire in his eyes. As soon as he said that, the noise in the room became lower. Anyone could see that Li Haocheng was purposely setting up a trap for Chen Xing. Everyone else looked down and did not dare to get involved.
Chen Xing was very angry with Li Haocheng's words, but he did not show it on his face. He was still smiling. Lin Qing's gaze moved back and forth between Li Haocheng and Chen Xing. The smile in her eyes became even more intense. This was the scene she liked to see.
Chen Xing did not drink much. Other than Li Haocheng, no one else had the guts to do so. As for Lin Qing, it was even more impossible for her to become Li Haocheng's weapon and compete with Chen Xing in terms of drinking. There were so many people present, and Lin Qing was alone. She did not want to get drunk.
At around eight o 'clock in the evening, Chen Xing left the hotel. The others also left one after another. Only Li Haocheng stayed. It was said that he wanted to introduce Nanzhou City's investment promotion policies to Lin Qing.
Chen Xing sat in the car and raised his head to look upstairs. Li Haocheng's behavior was a little strange. Chen Xing did not think too much about it. Li Haocheng, the Executive Deputy Mayor, was also in charge of investment promotion. His actions could also be understood as Li Haocheng's eagerness to open a branch in Nanzhou City. If it succeeded, it would be a political achievement.
Chu Rong and He Li were also staying at the Nanzhou Hotel. Chen Xing only sent them a text message. He did not go up to look for them. Because Lin Qing was also staying here, it would be inconvenient for Chen Xing to look for them.
Instead of returning to his residence immediately, Chen Xing asked the driver, Li Yong, to drive to the Crown Entertainment City on Coastal Avenue. Thinking about the conversation he had with He Yijun at noon, Chen Xing wanted to personally go to the Crown Entertainment City to take a look.
After parking the car, Chen Xing called Li Yong to enter the entertainment city. The two of them asked for a private room.
"How much do you charge here?" Chen Xing asked the waiter as he walked. Since he was here, he had to act like a guest.
"Sir, our minimum charge for a small room is 1,880 yuan, a medium room is 2,880 yuan, and a large room is 3,880 yuan. The one you want now is a medium room." The waiter was a beautiful little girl who looked to be in her twenties. She enthusiastically introduced the room to Chen Xing. "Sir, you two should have friends coming over later, right? Our medium room can accommodate about ten people. In the entire Nanzhou City, our medium room is the most luxurious and largest."
Chen Xing did not pay much attention to the waiter's words. He was already shocked by the waiter's words at the beginning. The minimum charge was 2,880 yuan. Even though Chen Xing was not short of money, he was secretly shocked. He Yijun said that this was one of the top entertainment cities in Nanzhou City. It was not a lie at all. The fees were really not cheap.
"En, other than the minimum charge for the private room, what about the other charges?" Chen Xing asked without batting an eyelid.
The lady's tip was 500 yuan, the waiter's tip was 300 yuan, the business manager's tip was 500 yuan, the special drink was 50 yuan per person, and the service charge was 10%. The service charge was 10% of the minimum charge for the private room. The beautiful waiter introduced with a smile on her face. She maintained a smile from beginning to end.
What did the business manager's tip mean? And the special drink fee? Chen Xing suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked. The other things could be understood just by listening to the literal meaning, but he did not know what these two tips referred to. At this time, Chen Xing completely pretended to be a customer who came to spend money.
"It seems that sir has never been here before." The waiter smiled ambiguously at Chen Xing. The business manager's tip referred to the mommy's tip. The special drink fee was 50 yuan per person, and it was the fee for instructing the lady. There was a fee of 50 yuan per person.
"Wait, isn't the lady's tip already 500 yuan? Does the lady still have to pay for the order?
The lady's tip was the tip, but there was an additional fee for ordering people. This was the same as charging by the number of people. The waiter explained very patiently. She had already regarded Chen Xing as a customer who had come here for the first time.
"The fees here are really expensive." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
"We have five-star service here. It's the best entertainment place in Nanzhou City." The waiter said with a smile, her eyes sizing up Chen Xing and Li Yong. For waiters like her, whether a customer was rich or generous, they could more or less judge one or two things from their appearance. Although they might not be right every time, they would not be too far off. Li Yong's clothes were very ordinary, and from his expression, he did not look like a rich person. However, at first glance, Chen Xing's temperament made people feel that he was either a rich or a noble person. The waiter also secretly focused her attention on Chen Xing.
Chen Xing naturally did not know that the beautiful waiter in front of him was thinking about him. She wanted to see if this distinguished customer with an extraordinary aura could give a bigger tip at night. At this time, Chen Xing was still pretending to be real. With a light cough, Chen Xing squeezed out a sentence. "What's the quality of the ladies here? Do you have any special services?"
When Chen Xing said this sentence, Li Yong, who was beside him, was already stunned. His eyes were wide open, and his eyeballs almost fell out. Looking at Chen Xing's expression, he thought to himself, "Is the mayor going to bring me here to visit prostitutes?"
"As for the quality, sir, you have to see it yourself. If you are not satisfied, you can pick until you are satisfied. But I can tell you the truth, sir. The customers who come here to spend money here are full of praise for our ladies." The beautiful waiter smiled and gave Chen Xing a flirtatious look. "As for the special services that sir wants, you can call the lady and talk to her directly, or you can talk to the business manager."
"Well, then can you tell me what the special services are?"
"As long as you want, sir, we have everything." The beautiful waiter smiled. "Oh, I forgot. These two days, there is a crackdown. So if sir wants special services after calling the lady, we don't provide a place here. Sir, you have to find another hotel to get a room. Also, sir, you'd better not have too much fun with the lady in the private room. At nine o 'clock, the police will come to check. Before the police check, sir, you'd better sing with the lady."
"You even know when the police are going to crack down?" Chen Xing pretended to be very surprised. In fact, Chen Xing was really not surprised at all. He Yijun told him that this place must have been notified in advance. Although Chen Xing believed it, at this moment, when he heard that even a waiter in the Entertainment City could say it and warn him not to mess around in the private room before the police check, Chen Xing was really disappointed in Zhang Qingyang, the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
Since the boss could afford such a top Entertainment City, he was naturally resourceful. He must have arranged everything well. Usually, the police would not come to check. If they came to check, they would be notified in advance. The waiter said with a smile, "Sir, don't worry too much. When the police come, we will inform every private room. Then, just pretend to be serious."
Chen Xing smiled helplessly. He really felt a little sad. "Crack down, crack down, this is the so-called crack down!"
"What do you want, sir?" The waiter looked at Chen Xing with a face full of smiles.
"Ahem, not for the time being. I will call you if I need anything." Chen Xing glanced at the waiter and waved his hand.
"You don't need anything?" The waiter looked at Chen Xing in confusion. Just now, Chen Xing asked a lot of questions. He thought that Chen Xing wanted some exciting service.
"No, we can just sing by ourselves." Chen Xing shook his head.
"All right." The waitress looked at Chen Xing in front of her strangely. It was rare to see people who came here to play without ordering a prostitute. The waiter quickly left and then came in with a fruit plate and drinks.
"Well, you can go out first. I will call you if I need anything." Seeing that the waitress stood still, Chen Xing said.
After Chen Xing finished speaking, the waitress still looked at him eagerly. Chen Xing was about to ask if there was anything else. Li Yong, who was next to him, saw the clue at once. He quickly took out his wallet, took out three old people's heads and handed them over. The waitress smiled and said thank you, then turned to leave. In the end, she did not forget to say that if the two of them needed anything, they could press the prompt button on the side of the sofa.
Seeing Li Yong's action, Chen Xing patted his forehead lightly. It turned out that the waitress wanted a tip. No wonder she refused to go out just now. It was not that Chen Xing had never gone to entertainment places before. He had gone to play in Hai City, but not when he came to the capital for work. It was the first time that Chen Xing had seen such a high consumption in this Entertainment City.
"Xiao Li, do you think the waitresses in this Entertainment City have a monthly income of at least 10,000 yuan?" Chen Xing said to Li Yong, who was next to him.
"Mayor, there should be one." Li Yong nodded. This Crown Entertainment City was a well-known high-end place in the city. Those who came here were not short of money, so they would not care about a tip of a few hundred yuan.
Chen Xing nodded and didn't say anything else. The main reason he came here tonight was to see how the Public Security Bureau would conduct the inspection. It wasn't time yet, but from the words of the waitress, he already knew that they were already prepared for the inspection, and they weren't worried at all. Moreover, from the information revealed by the waitress just now, it was very obvious that there were pornographic services here. Chen Xing sighed. In fact, he understood very well in his heart that as long as it was an entertainment venue, it would be strange if it didn't have pornographic services. He was more disappointed with the Public Security Bureau.
"Mayor, why did you come here tonight?" Li Yong glanced at Chen Xing carefully. He really could not restrain his curiosity. As a dignified mayor, Chen Xing came here in a low-key manner. It was impossible that he came here to look for prostitutes. If he wanted a woman, what kind of woman couldn't Chen Xing get? As long as Chen Xing asked, someone would naturally arrange it for him. They could even send the woman directly to his room. There was no need for him to come to this place at all. Li Yong really couldn't figure it out.
"Nothing. I just came here to sit." Chen Xing shook his head, raised his hand to look at the time, and muttered to himself, "It will be nine o 'clock in ten minutes.
"Yes, it will be nine o 'clock. The waiter also said that the police would come to check at nine o' clock. In my opinion, the police are just here to go through the motions. The background of this entertainment city is very deep, and the police can't really check it." Li Yong nodded subconsciously in response to Chen Xing's words. Suddenly, Li Yong looked at Chen Xing in surprise. From the time that Chen Xing specifically told him the time, he vaguely guessed what Chen Xing was here for.
Li, who had guessed some clues, did not dare to say more. He secretly worried for the people of the Public Security Bureau. Li Yong knew that Chen Xing was the leader of the Special Crackdown Group. If the Special Crackdown Group became a laughing stock, Chen Xing, as the leader, would lose face first.
"Xiao Li, can you sing? Just shout a few words." Chen Xing turned on the microphone and smiled at Li Yong. Since he was here, he couldn't just sit still. After all, he had lost thousands of yuan. If he didn't shout a few words, he would lose everything.
"Mayor, I can't sing very well. I can only sing a few old songs. Mayor, you can sing. I'll listen to you." Li Yong said with an honest smile.
"Then what can you sing?" Asked Chen Xing with interest. Since he became more and more powerful, his personal entertainment life became less and less. It was the first time that he was in a private room with the driver.
"I can only sing old songs like 'Green Flower in the Army', 'Ten Gifts to the Red Army', 'Loyalty to the Country' …" Li Yong said shyly.
The song 'Green Flower in the Army' wasn't bad. It sounded pretty good. Thinking back to the time when I had just entered the university and participated in the military training, the instructor had once told me that the boring military training was the short break where each squad would sing. Everyone would shout with all their might. Now that I thought about it, it was pretty interesting. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. Chen Xing smiled and sighed with emotion. The world was full of vicissitudes. Who would have thought that the young boy in the past would become the mayor of a city?
Turning to look at Li Yong, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Come on, sing a song. You have to sing. This is an order. Well, sing 'Green Flower in the Army'. When I heard the instructor sing before, I felt that only the instructor could sing that kind of feeling. There are also some good singers in the class who can sing well, but they are not as good as the instructor. I guess this is the feeling of being in the army and not being in the army. You have been in the army for a few years, so you should be able to sing well. Sing it."
"Mayor, then … then I will show you my incompetence." Seeing that Chen Xing was very interested, Li Yong had to bite the bullet and sing.
Li Yong picked up the microphone and started to sing. Chen Xing listened quietly. It was interesting. After one song, he asked Li Yong to sing 'Loyalty to the Country'. Chen Xing listened and clapped his hands. It was an interesting scene in the room. In the spacious room, one was singing, and the other was clapping. Both of them were enjoying themselves.
Time passed by unknowingly. Before Li Yong could finish singing "Loyalty to the Country", the door of the box was pushed in. Two policemen stuck their heads out at the door and looked in, then closed the door without saying anything.
"Damn it, are the people in this room crazy? Two men are singing in the room." Outside the room, a policeman smiled and said to his partner. They had never seen such a quiet room on their way here. It was noisy and full of smoke. They had called a prostitute to accompany them to sing and drink. There were only two people in Chen Xing's room. They did not smoke. One was singing, and the other was sitting. Compared with the people in front of them, the two policemen thought that they had come to the wrong place.
"Maybe they are gay." The other man joked.
Chen Xing got up and opened the door. He stood at the door and looked down the corridor. He did not hear the conversation between the two policemen, but the scene at the end of the corridor fell into Chen Xing's eyes. A policeman, who seemed to be the leader of the team, was standing in the corridor, talking and laughing with a waitress of the Entertainment City. From time to time, he even reached out his hand to flirt with the waitress. A man who seemed to be the manager of the Entertainment City appeared next to the policeman. He smiled and patted the policeman on the shoulder. He took out a cigarette and offered it to the policeman. The two of them laughed and talked about something. After a while, the policeman shouted, "After the inspection, go upstairs for inspection."
Chen Xing saw all this and shook his head. "This is called inspection?"
Li Yong followed him to the door. "Mayor, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Chen Xing turned around and walked back to the private room. Originally, he wanted to explore other parts of the entertainment city, but now, he didn't have the mood to do so. From the situation on the third floor, Chen Xing didn't even need to look to know how the other floors were inspected.
Sitting on the sofa, he turned his head and saw the smart call button beside the sofa. Chen Xing pressed a button and asked the waitress to come over.
"Do you have any special exciting services here?" Chen Xing asked indifferently and added, "I don't mean sexual services. It's boring."
"Then what exciting services do you want, sir?" The waitress looked at Chen Xing in confusion.
"I am asking you now. Of course, you are the one who introduced it to me. Why are you asking me? Is there nothing else in the Entertainment City except what you introduced at the beginning?" Chen Xing pretended to be unhappy.
"This … this." The waitress turned her head and looked out of the door, then turned around and closed the door. The waitress approached Chen Xing and said with a smile, "If you want more exciting services, we also have them. Originally, we only recommend them to regular customers. Unfamiliar customers will not mention them when they first come. Since you asked, I will introduce them to you."
"Oh? Tell me about it. " Chen Xing deliberately showed great interest.
"Sir, have you heard of" accompanying girls in high "?" The waitress looked at Chen Xing with a smile and teased Chen Xing with her eyes from time to time. In fact, the waitresses in the Entertainment City also had their own rules. As long as the price given by the customers satisfied them, or if the customers were regular customers, many of them would choose to go out and get a room with the customers.
"What does" accompanying girls in high "mean?" Chen Xing was really curious this time.
"We sell some ecstasy pills in the Entertainment City. The customers pay for them. We have a special lady who will take it with the customers and play together." Even though the door of the room was closed, the waitress still lowered her voice.
After the waitress's explanation, Chen Xing finally understood. The so-called "accompanying girls in high" was a waitress who specially accompanied drug addicts to take drugs.
"It will be very exciting to take those things, and it will be especially exciting to play with them." The waitress tempted Chen Xing. It seemed that she hoped that Chen Xing would play with them, because she also had a commission.
"I see." Chen Xing suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at the waitress. Chen Xing's face remained calm. "It sounds interesting, but I have to think about it. By the way, the police are still checking. Do you dare to provide this to the customers?"
"Of course not now. Before the police come to check today, we don't provide this to the customers. But the police will leave in a moment. If you want it, sir, just wait for a few minutes and it will be ready."
"Well, you can go out first. I will call you if I need it." Chen Xing nodded blankly.
"All right." A trace of disappointment flashed through the waitress's eyes. "Gentlemen, don't you even need a singing girl?"
"No, I will call you if I need one." Chen Xing shook his head.
After the waitress left, Chen Xing angrily punched the sofa with his fist. "Accompanying girls in high"? To put it bluntly, it was a combination of drug abuse and prostitution.
"Mayor, should I inform the police now?" Li Yong glanced at Chen Xing and said.
"Inform the police? Inform the police where? These people are wearing police uniforms but are actually the scum of the police team. What can they find out if you inform them? " Chen Xing's tone was very angry. He was not angry at Li Yong, but he could not control his anger.
Li Yong was stunned by Chen Xing's words and tactfully shut his mouth. In his heart, he was afraid that the people in the Public Security Bureau would be in trouble. Although Chen Xing could not touch some leaders in the Public Security Bureau now, he would definitely remember this in his heart.
"Let's go back." Chen Xing was no longer in the mood to stay here. He had achieved his goal tonight, but the result was even more infuriating than he had expected. This nightclub not only openly provided erotic services, but also openly provided drugs. Moreover, many people from the Public Security Bureau were in cahoots with the people here. They even laughed and chatted with the people in the nightclub during the inspection.
"Gentlemen, are you going to leave now?" The waitress in the corridor asked in surprise when she saw Chen Xing and Li Yong were about to leave.
"Well, I have something urgent to deal with. I will come back another day." Chen Xing was very good at acting and did not want to arouse any suspicion from the waitress.
"Well, please follow me. You can also pay the bill on the third floor." The waitress nodded helplessly and said as she walked. They had only been here for a short time and had booked a medium-sized room. It was a pity that they left before they even had a drink.
Chen Xing smiled and said nothing. However, when the bill was paid, the private room cost 2880 yuan. Chen Xing took out his wallet and found that he did not have so much cash. As for Li Yong, it was impossible for him to bring so much cash. Li Yong took out his salary card and was about to pay. Chen Xing smiled and stopped him. "Let me do it."
City … Li Yong did not dare to let Chen Xing pay. He was so anxious that he almost called out Chen Xing's position. But when he was glared at by Chen Xing, he quickly swallowed back his words.
After paying with his card, Chen Xing did not ask the waitress for the invoice. Then he left in a hurry with Li Yong. In the car, Chen Xing handed 300 yuan to Li Yong. "Li, this is the tip you gave to the waitress just now."
"Mayor, what are you doing? It's only 300 yuan. How dare I take your money? Besides, I sang and drank two bottles of Red Bull just now. Mayor, you didn't drink anything. Speaking of which, I made a profit." Li Yong refused to take it.
"I told you to take it. Don't talk so much nonsense." Chen Xing scolded him with a smile.
Li Yong had no choice but to take it. He glanced at Chen Xing in the rearview mirror and asked, "Mayor, why didn't you take the invoice just now?"
"What's the use of the invoice? Reimbursement?" "It's just our personal behavior. There's no need to use the public expense for reimbursement." Chen Xing said disapprovingly.
Li Yong did not expect that Chen Xing would answer like this. He was shocked and sincerely admired Chen Xing. "Mayor, if everyone was like you, our country could save a lot of public expenses every year. Maybe it would be thousands or even trillions. It would be great if the money could be used to improve people's livelihood or to help poor people."
"The problem you mentioned is more complicated and not so easy to solve. A huge system always has all kinds of shortcomings and loopholes." As Chen Xing spoke, the car also drove on the road. Looking back at the Crown Entertainment City that was gradually disappearing, Chen Xing's face was gloomy.
"Li, go to the Left Bank Cafe later." Chen Xing ordered.
"Mayor, are you going there again? Didn't you just go there in the afternoon?" Li Yong asked curiously. He only knew that Chen Xing had gone to the Left Bank Cafe twice in the past few days, but he did not know what Chen Xing was going to do. Chen Xing always asked him to wait in the car. Now that he heard that Chen Xing wanted to go there again, he was very surprised.
"Go for coffee. The environment there is not bad." Chen Xing said with a smile. He had already sent a text message to He Yijun.
In the Nanzhou Hotel, the banquet had ended for more than an hour, but Li Haocheng was still in the hotel. However, he was not in the private room where he had dinner, but in the hotel's top hot spring room. In the huge hot spring pool that could accommodate more than ten people, Lin Qing and Li Haocheng were soaking in the hot spring pool comfortably, laughing non-stop.
Li Haocheng's eyes swept over Lin Qing from time to time. Sparks flashed in his eyes. If it were not for Li Haocheng's conscious control, they would have already shown on his face. Just now when the banquet ended, Li Haocheng stayed alone. The table in the private room was removed. Li Haocheng asked the hotel to prepare high-quality tea leaves and made tea with Lin Qing.
Lin Qing was obviously not interested in drinking tea. She asked Li Haocheng if he was interested in soaking in the hot spring together. At that time, Li Haocheng almost burst out laughing. There was no reason for him not to agree, so he gladly agreed.
When Lin Qing changed into a bikini, Li Haocheng's eyes stared at her body for a few seconds. After a while, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and stepped into the hot spring pool with Lin Qing. After soaking for more than half an hour, Li Haocheng's eyes still swept over a few parts of Lin Qing's body from time to time.
Had Mayor Li ever been to the United States for investigation or travel before? Lin Qing leaned against the edge of the pool, her upper body upright. She used her small hands to float water on herself, as if she was playing in the water. She pretended to ask Li Haocheng casually.
She had never been to the United States. She had led a team to Europe for investigation before. Li Haocheng smiled.
Well, Mayor Li could also go to the United States for investigation when he is free. Didn't the mainland encourage their cadres to go abroad to broaden their horizons and learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries?
Well, I'll go if I have the chance. Li Haocheng casually replied, obviously a little absent-minded. Li Haocheng was not very interested in going abroad for investigation.
If Mayor Li has the chance to go to the United States for investigation, I can be your tour guide and show Mayor Li around. Lin Qing smiled and glanced at Li Haocheng.
Really? Li Haocheng's expression brightened. Just now, he was still absent-minded, but now he suddenly became energetic.
Of course it's true. As long as Mayor Li goes, I will definitely not go back on my words. Lin Qing smiled and blinked her eyes. I have a holiday villa by the seaside in Hawaii. There are many red wines that I have collected. When the time comes, I will definitely invite Mayor Li to have a taste. Especially at night, when we sit on the balcony, enjoy the sea breeze of Hawaii and drink authentic red wine, that would be a wonderful night. Don't you think so, Mayor Li?
Yes, that would definitely be a wonderful night, especially with a beauty like Boss Lin accompanying him. Li Haocheng's eyes lit up. He was already thinking about bringing the team to the United States for investigation as soon as possible.
At this moment, Li Haocheng's phone, which was placed by the hot spring, rang. Li Haocheng turned his head and took a look. Then, he ignored it and smiled at Lin Qing. I'm just afraid that when I go to the United States for investigation, Boss Lin won't be free.
If Mayor Li goes, I will have to take leave from the company to accompany Mayor Li. Moreover, I can also use the company's name to send an official letter to your city and invite Mayor Li to visit the headquarters of our company. Then, I will be able to take care of both public and private matters. Lin Qing smiled.
Ah, that's a good idea. If that's the case, it will save me a lot of trouble. Li Haocheng said excitedly. As an Executive Deputy Mayor, going overseas for investigation wasn't something that he could do as he pleased. He had to report to the higher-ups and at the same time, get approval.
Lin Qing smiled and nodded. She looked at Li Haocheng's phone, which had been ringing, and said, "Why isn't Mayor Li picking up his phone? Just now, there seemed to be a few calls, but Mayor Li didn't pick up any of them. Maybe there's something urgent."
Nothing much. What could happen at night? Li Haocheng waved his hand casually. The call was from Lin Hong. Normally, Li Haocheng would have picked up the call. However, he wasn't in the mood to do so today.
Lin Hong, who was sipping red wine alone on the balcony of her villa, hung up the phone again. She scolded Li Haocheng angrily. Tonight was really strange. Li Haocheng actually didn't pick up her calls. This was the first time in so many years that this had happened.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Hong called Li Haocheng's secretary, Jiang Jin. Jiang Jin picked up the call very quickly. Lin Hong heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Little Jiang, where's your leader? Why isn't anyone picking up my calls?
No one picking up? That's impossible. Sister Lin, could it be that the Mayor's phone ran out of battery? " Jiang Jin casually made up a story.
How is that possible? Even the Mayor's phone could get through. How could it run out of battery? Lin Hong said impatiently.
I'm not sure about that. Tonight, the city invited Chief Lin of Gray Group to a banquet. After dinner, the Mayor went home. Jiang Jin said.
After dinner, he went home? Lin Hong was stunned. Could it be that Li Haocheng was being watched by his wife at home, so it was not convenient for him to pick up her calls? At this thought, Lin Hong felt much more relieved. Then there's nothing else. Let's leave it at that.
Lin Hong hung up the phone and was in a daze for no reason. Looking at the huge villa where she lived, she felt empty in her heart. Her feelings for Li Haocheng were also complicated. After getting along with him for ten years, it was impossible to say that she had no feelings at all. But to say that she loved Li Haocheng was purely a joke. She didn't even like him. Now, perhaps Li Haocheng was just a psychological comfort to her when she was lonely. Because of Li Haocheng's power, no man dared to really get close to her. Those who didn't know about it had been severely taught a lesson. Those who knew about it naturally didn't dare to touch Li Haocheng's woman.
In addition to being the only person she could find comfort to when she was lonely, Li Haocheng was also the person she relied on to survive. Now, Lin Hong couldn't live without Li Haocheng's power. More importantly, she needed Li Haocheng's power to support her business. Without Li Haocheng's protection, the company she opened in the name of consulting, but actually collecting protection fees in disguise, would have been devoured by others long ago.
