Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Bai Xue’s Sincere Emotions

"That’s pretty normal; after all, when you give you should get something in return, this little trick isn’t something new to me. There have been plenty who want to try to seduce me with beauty, not just him."

"But... but if you know it’s a trap, why go anyway? If he captures something on camera, it could be troublesome for you. After all, I haven’t divorced him yet. If this gets out, it could affect your career in officialdom."

Bai Xue looked at Lin Fan with a worried expression. Why did he seem unfazed after hearing about it?

"Don’t worry, even if you hadn’t told me about it, I already had my guard up against him. The guy is too ambitious and purpose-driven, and he’s definitely not as rough as he appears. I can only say you married a man with great ambitions."

Lin Fan held Bai Xue’s delicate body, gently stroking her jet-black hair. She was innocent, fallen into the trap laid by Zhou Daguai, but after these days, he was no longer that naively ignorant kid.

"So, what should I do now? I couldn’t sleep all of last night, thinking about this non-stop. I used to be grateful for what he did for me, but now I’m more certain than ever that he had everything planned from the start, and I’m just a little gift for him to climb his way up. He made me sleep with Director Xu, and now with you, the guy is sick. I want to divorce him."

Bai Xue clung tightly to Lin Fan’s neck, feeling even more disillusioned with Zhou Daguai after these two incidents.

"No need to rush. Sometimes having ambition isn’t a bad thing; after all, even a bad person can be useful if handled correctly. I’ve already thought about how to deal with him—make him work obediently for me while also becoming a dog that can bite."

Lin Fan smiled as he slid his hand under Bai Xue’s clothes, gently kneading her soft, full body, "Here’s what you’ll do, once you get home, look carefully to see if he has planted any hidden cameras. As for tonight, leave it to me. I’ll take revenge for you!"

...

In the town government building, Lin Fan sat in his spacious office.

This room was originally a small meeting room, specially cleared out for him by Li Haiping. That way, he not only had a brand-new desk but also a sofa and a coffee table. This setup was even grander than the party secretary’s office.

"Mayor Lin, this is the special Da Hong Pao tea that the secretary prepared for you. He asked me to let you taste it."

The person who walked in was Liu Chunlan, the head of the comprehensive office. In her forties, with a voluptuous figure, neither beautiful nor ugly, she placed the freshly brewed tea on Lin Fan’s desk.

"Thank you, Ms. Liu."

Lin Fan thanked her with a nod. As the deputy mayor overseeing investment promotion, his post was essentially ceremonial since the Fengqing Town project was still under construction, leaving him with little to do.

"What are you saying? Even though we all come from the same place, you’ve always been working in the City and are surely not that familiar with the work in Lotus Town. If there’s anything you need, just tell me. I’ve been working here for over ten years and know the ins and outs of all the villages."

Liu Chunlan eagerly volunteered. Everyone knew Lin Fan had strong connections; even the county magistrate showed him exceptional respect. As the head of the comprehensive office, she naturally wanted to curry favor—making sure not to be negligent, even if not particularly meritorious.

"I do have something. Yesterday, County Magistrate Luan mentioned the selection of someone to serve as the secretary for Fengtai Village. Is that a tough job to do?"

Liu Chunlan laughed in response to Lin Fan’s question, "That job as a secretary can be easy or hard, depending on the perspective. You’ve got to reside at the front lines, but the upside is that it can be a great stepping stone if you achieve results. The candidate must understand productivity and be able to endure hardships. Of course, these are matters for the leadership to decide, I’m just guessing."

"Oh, I see, that’s just like the assignment I received."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes. No wonder Zhou Daguai was so eager to host him—he didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity. The reason Lin Fan inquired about this role was that Zhu Zhixuan’s parents hailed from Fengtai Village and the Cai Family’s roots were also there. Thus, Cai Xuliang had forcefully married Zhu Zhixuan.

"So how is the person for this role chosen?"

"Mayor Li drafts a list of candidates, which is then discussed and voted upon by the town party committee before an assignment is made."

For Liu Chunlan, familiar with the processes, this was no problem.

"Ms. Zhao, I have another question. What’s Zhou Daguai’s reputation like around here?"

Lin Fan’s question caught Liu Chunlan off guard. As she pondered the implications of his words, Lin Fan noticed her hesitation and continued, "I’m just asking casually. He seems pretty forthright and even invited me over for a meal, so I wanted to get your opinion of his character— just speak your mind."
