Kang Jicheng had long been drooling over Yang Hong, the elegant and beautiful Deputy Bureau Chief. The Municipal Education Bureau wanted to obtain a grant from the Provincial Education Bureau's special education support fund, and this happened to be under Kang Jicheng's management. Last time, the Municipal Education Bureau Chief Ma Chaoan brought Yang Hong, the beautiful Deputy Bureau Chief, to the Provincial Department to run for funds. That afternoon, Ma Chaoan invited Kang Jicheng to a banquet, and Yang Hong also attended. Kang Jicheng, who had long been attracted to Yang Hong, suddenly had an idea. He frequently clinked glasses with Yang Hong at the banquet and even hinted ambiguously.
How could the experienced Ma Chaoan not see through Kang Jicheng's thoughts? After returning, Ma Chaoan told Yang Hong that she still had to run more trips to the Provincial Department. Director Kang had a good impression of her, so Yang Hong should seize the opportunity to get closer to Director Kang and fight for funds for the bureau. He handed this heavy responsibility to Yang Hong and told her to go by herself. Ma Chaoan said that he still had other things to do, so Yang Hong could go by herself.
Following that, Yang Hong had a meal or two with Ma Chaoan. Yang Hong pretended not to understand Ma Chaoan's hints. The result was predictable. Ma Chaoan said that the education bureaus of the various prefectural cities were applying for funding. There were too many monks and not enough gruel. The provincial department had to strictly control the review of every grant, and Nanzhou's application did not meet the requirements.
Yang Hong knew that Ma Chaoan was dissatisfied with her acting dumb. She didn't meet the requirements because she hadn't had sex with the other party, so she didn't meet the requirements. Once they had sex, there were no more requirements. But Yang Hong didn't let Ma Chaoan have his way. It wasn't that she was pretending to be virtuous, nor was it that she wanted to be clean. In the big dye vat that was the officialdom, it was impossible for a woman to not be stained by the mud. To put it bluntly, it was impossible for a woman to be successful in the officialdom without paying a price. This price didn't necessarily mean that she had to commit adultery or sacrifice herself. Bearing some unbearable rumors was also a price.
Some women were lucky enough to be promoted by a truly good leader. Although this was rare, it still existed. On the other hand, if a woman did not have any background and only managed to get an official position, even if she did not have sex with the leader, others would spread rumors about her. Some even caused family disharmony. The couple quarreled every day to the point of divorce. For a woman, even if she did not sacrifice her body, it was still a heavy price to pay. Yang Hong had personally seen couples divorce because they could not bear the rumors.
Yang Hong was very lucky because she had a good family background. Her father was now the secretary of the county committee, and was now the vice chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference. Although he did not have any real power, at least he had a certain degree of deterrence. Furthermore, her father also had some connections, so Yang Hong did not pay much of a price to become the vice director of the municipal education bureau. The higher-ups coveted her beauty, but did not dare to do anything excessive.
Of course, there were usually some leaders who told dirty jokes to her, took advantage of her verbally, and even took advantage of her from time to time. Take Bureau Chief Ma Chaoan for example. Ma Chaoan did not dare to do anything to her, but he did take advantage of her verbally. Yang Hong was already used to it.
Yang Hong didn't want to come over to eat with Kang Jicheng today, but she couldn't stand Bureau Chief Ma Chaoan who kept buzzing in her ears like a fly. In the end, Yang Hong could only helplessly come over. As a government official, Yang Hong knew that there were many things that were beyond her control. Even if she didn't want to do it, she had to do it.
Yang Hong knew that attending a dinner alone as a woman would give people too much imagination. However, she did not expect Kang Jicheng to be so shameless as to drug her wine. Halfway through the meal, Yang Hong felt her body heat up. She felt an inexplicable arousal. Yang Hong immediately realized that something was wrong. She used the excuse of going to the bathroom and left the hotel. She did not expect to meet Chen Xing in the hotel lobby. She had originally planned to insist on getting home no matter what and call her husband back to solve her "problem." However, she unexpectedly bumped into Chen Xing. Without hesitation, Yang Hong decided to drag Chen Xing to the hotel.
In essence, Yang Hong was not a conservative woman. For a woman who had been in the government for a long time, if she said she was a chaste woman, she would be laughed at. In today's society, in the market economy, people were impetuous and had distorted values. Whether it was a man or a woman, everyone's values were no longer what they used to be.
Yang Hong had never thought that it was shameful to have an affair with a leader. She had seen and heard too much about it. In the system, this kind of thing was pretty common. Yang Hong had excellent qualifications, a high degree of education, and an outstanding appearance. A woman like her was undoubtedly the most desirable target for men to conquer. There had been more than one or two leaders who had hinted at her, but Yang Hong had never betrayed her husband and had an affair with someone else. It wasn't that Yang Hong really followed the rules, but this realistic society had taught Yang Hong that the value of doing something was proportional to the effort and the reward. If it wasn't, Yang Hong wouldn't do it.
Previously, although Zhang Xinjun was the deputy mayor of the city, in Yang Hong's eyes, he was not worth having an affair with. Hence, Yang Hong would rather ignore Zhang Xinjun. After all, Zhang Xinjun could not do anything to her. If he wanted to suppress her or transfer her to the bench, even if Zhang Xinjun had the ability to do so, he would not dare to do it. After all, the Yang family still had some foundation. Unless Zhang Xinjun was the mayor and had the ability to do so, Zhang Xinjun would have to consider the consequences.
It was a coincidence that she was able to drag Chen Xing to the hotel today. Yang Hong did not reject having a relationship with Chen Xing, because Chen Xing was worth it. Being able to become the deputy director was already her limit. Her father's connections could only support her to this step. After all, her father was only a deputy director. It was impossible for him to support her further, so Yang Hong could only rely on herself.
Of course, if she wanted to stay where she was for the rest of her life, there was no need for her to curry favor. However, she was also a woman with ambitions for power. She also hoped to reach a higher level. Hence, Yang Hong was not loyal to her husband before, but she was waiting for an opportunity with real value. Whether it was the previous deputy mayor Zhang Xinjun or the current deputy director of the Provincial Department, Kang Jicheng, Yang Hong did not care about them. This was because both of them did not have much potential, and they were only deputy directors. Yang Hong felt that even if she really wanted to take the step of dedicating herself, she should at least find a department level official with real power.
The young mayor, Chen Xing, was Yang Hong's ideal partner. He was the head of the Municipal Government, and he had great potential. Most importantly, he was still young. It was better to have a relationship with Chen Xing than with an old man. Hence, when she saw Chen Xing, she dragged Chen Xing to the hotel. It seemed like Yang Hong had lost her mind because of the drug, but in fact, this was the result that Yang Hong had considered before.
At this moment, Yang Hong was lying on Chen Xing's body, panting. She was really exhausted. After nearly half an hour, the effects of the drug had long disappeared. Yang Hong was now clear-headed, but she was a little tired.
Why, are you out of energy? Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong mockingly.
Mayor Chen, I thought you were a gentleman. I didn't expect you to be so evil. Yang Hong leaned against Chen Xing's chest, raised her head, and rolled her eyes at Chen Xing.
Hey, Yang Hong, you're taking advantage of me, and you're still pretending to be innocent. I haven't even said anything, and you're already accusing me. Chen Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even though he had taken advantage of her, it was true that Yang Hong had dragged him over. If he wasn't worried that Yang Hong would have an accident after being drugged, Chen Xing probably wouldn't have helped her into the room. Of course, it couldn't be denied that when Chen Xing realized what was going to happen, he didn't feel conflicted. In the end, Chen Xing's resistance towards women was also very weak.
Mayor Chen, do you dare to say that you didn't take advantage of her? Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing pitifully. Her big, watery eyes seemed like they could turn into tears at any moment. She looked at Chen Xing innocently and aggrievedly. Mayor Chen, when a woman and a man have a relationship, isn't the woman always at a disadvantage?
I think that's a fallacy. Chen Xing shook his head in amusement. He knew that Yang Hong was pretending, so Chen Xing couldn't be bothered with her.
Who said it was a fallacy? It was clearly a fallacy. Yang Hong curled her lips.
Chen Xing smiled. He knew that it wasn't wise to bicker with a woman. Chen Xing wisely changed the topic. Let's talk about what happened this afternoon.
What else could have happened? Of course, I was drugged. When Yang Hong spoke about this, she immediately gritted her teeth. Kang Jicheng, that bastard, he actually drugged the wine. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong in time and ran out, he might have succeeded.
Kang Jicheng? Who was that? Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong suspiciously. Chen Xing didn't know Kang Jicheng because he hadn't dealt with the people from the Provincial Education Department before.
He was the deputy director of the Provincial Education Department. Yang Hong said angrily. An old bastard who was almost fifty years old. Look at him. He's already an old tortoise, but he still wants to eat young grass. I don't want to let someone else take advantage of me.
I let him take advantage of me.
He drugged you? Chen Xing was shocked when he heard this. He laughed. What an eye-opener.
What's so strange about that? As leaders, you'll do anything you want to get, won't you? Yang Hong looked at Chen Xing with dissatisfaction. That Zhang Xinjun had been hinting at me every now and then. I've even pretended to be crazy. Now, I've become thick-skinned. Luckily, he didn't take advantage of me. Hmph, that Zhang Xinjun is already in jail. I don't think he can come out. I've never heard of anyone being taken away by the Provincial Disciplinary Committee.
Looks like you're happy that Zhang Xinjun got into trouble. Chen Xing smiled and glanced at Yang Hong. Then, he said meaningfully, Aren't you afraid that I took advantage of you today?
If Mayor Chen thinks that he took advantage of me, then he should compensate me. Yang Hong laughed and replied. Her eyes scanned Chen Xing's face. Seeing that Chen Xing didn't have any reaction, she pretended to be indifferent. But then again, I don't dare to say that Mayor Chen took advantage of me. If we really want to argue, I was the one who dragged Mayor Chen here. Mayor Chen, you can say that I dragged you here. If that's the case, it seems like I took advantage of Mayor Chen. Hence, I don't dare to make any requests of Mayor Chen. Let's just treat today's incident as a beautiful mistake.
You're quite open-minded. Chen Xing looked at Yang Hong deeply. Yang Hong's reply made Chen Xing realize that Yang Hong wasn't a simple woman. Under such circumstances, Yang Hong was able to say such words. It was clear that this woman wasn't as simple as she appeared on the surface. She was a woman who knew how to make decisions in front of a man. In other words, Yang Hong might be very scheming. She knew how to seize the opportunity and what to say.
What else can I do? I can't use this to threaten Mayor Chen. Mayor Chen wasn't the one who drugged me. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I might have fallen into the tiger's mouth. Yang Hong joked.
You're good at talking. Chen Xing smiled. Although Yang Hong's words were a joke, it was pleasing to the ears. Just now, there were two calls that you didn't pick up. Could it be Kang Jicheng?
There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that it was him. Yang Hong pouted and reached for her phone on the table. Reality proved that her guess was right. She showed it to Chen Xing and said, "It really is him. I must have left without saying goodbye and made him anxious. He's probably still wondering where I went to satisfy my needs after drinking the wine he drugged."
"It seems like I took advantage of someone else." Chen Xing smiled. "Now that I know it was Kang Jicheng who drugged you, what do you plan to do?"
"What else can I do? I can't take revenge on him. I'm a woman, and my official position isn't as high as his. What do I have to ask him for an explanation?" Yang Hong said unwillingly. In the end, she rolled her eyes at Chen Xing. "Besides, although he drugged me, he didn't succeed in the end. Instead, it was Mayor Chen who took advantage of me."
Chen Xing smiled. Yang Hong saw that Chen Xing was in a good mood and said, "But if there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely take revenge on him. I'll make that bastard Kang Jicheng pay the price."
