Chapter 189 The City Government Turmoil

Sister Yun covered her mouth and laughed, "So you came all this way to get ready?"

"Hehe, I was thinking about it. Besides, I have to entertain that client tonight, and I don't know when I'll be able to get away, so I came to see you while I had some free time." Yang Letian said, putting his arm around Sister Yun's shoulder.

"Go away, go away, don't bother me while I'm getting dressed." Sister Yun said coquettishly.

After a while, both of them were dressed. Sister Yun looked down at her clothes, checking left and right for any marks from rubbing. After a while, she looked up at Yang Letian and said, "Look, is my face still red?"

"Hehe, it's not red anymore, it's completely back to its original, flawless state."

"You're so annoying, so smooth-talking!" Sister Yun said, though she was scolding him, she was secretly delighted.

"Sister Yun, I'll be going now. If I finish early tonight, I'll come back; if it's too late, I won't come, okay?" Yang Letian said softly, putting his arm around Sister Yun's waist.

"Mmm," Sister Yun nodded slightly, "Don't overwork yourself, and drink less alcohol."

"Okay, I know." After saying that, Yang Letian lightly kissed Sister Yun's cheek. As

soon as he opened the door and stepped out, the waitress who had greeted Yang Letian earlier ran over, grinning mischievously, "Hehe, Sister Yun, Brother Yang, what were you doing in there? Why did it take you so long to come out?" Sister

Yun's face immediately turned red. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she looked at Yang Letian, as if asking him for help. Seeing this, Yang Letian naturally stepped forward, so he deliberately put on a stern face and said, "You little girl, does the boss need to report to you what he does in the office? Hurry up and get to work, or Sister Yun will dock your salary this month."

The waitress quickly stuck out her tongue, made a face at Yang Letian, and ran away in a flash. Yang Letian couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Hehe, see, it's all alright now. It's because you're always too nice to them that they don't treat you like a boss at all, which is why they make fun of you like this."

Sister Yun blushed and said, "Actually, they're still just kids. I treat them like younger sisters. Besides, I don't want them to treat me like a boss. I really like them; they're very friendly. It's just that sometimes it makes them feel embarrassed."

"Hehe, you're so kind," Yang Letian said affectionately.

"Actually, girls their age should be nestled in their parents' arms, but they have to start working so early. Who would do this if their families weren't struggling financially? I understand their hardships, so I try my best to be nice to them."

"Yes, you did the right thing," Yang Letian affirmed.

Sister Yun escorted Yang Letian to the door. Yang Letian said, "Alright, you should go back now, or those girls will laugh at you again." Sister

Yun glanced behind her, then said to Yang Letian apologetically, "Okay, I'm going in now. Drive carefully, and don't drink too much tonight, and also..."

"Alright, alright, go in quickly. When did my Sister Yun learn to nag? Hehe." Yang Letian interrupted her with a laugh.

Sister Yun gave him a charming sidelong glance, then gracefully went back. Watching her slender and graceful back, Yang Letian suddenly felt a sense of happiness fill his chest, thinking, "With a woman like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

After getting into the car, Yang Letian checked the time. Another fifteen minutes had passed. He estimated that he would arrive at the city government at only 4:30, meaning he would have to wait at least half an hour for Lin Wan to come out. "Oh well, I'll wait then. After all, she's the mayor." Thinking this, Yang Letian started the car and drove towards the city government.

As Yang Letian approached the city government building, he saw a large, bustling crowd gathered at the entrance, like a circus performer, completely blocking the entrance.

"Huh? What are they doing? Does anyone dare to cause trouble in front of the city government?" Yang Letian wondered.

Slowly, he drove to a spot not far from the entrance, as the crowd made it impossible to drive past. He got out and walked over, only to find that most of the people were elderly farmers dressed in simple clothes. When Yang Letian squeezed into the crowd, he was surprised to find a row of riot police standing inside the entrance, helmeted and shielded, preventing the crowd from advancing.

Yang Letian understood; these people were probably here to petition. Sure enough, he heard one of them shouting, "Those people took our farmland to build factories, but they only gave us such a small amount of compensation! How are we supposed to live? The village officials won't give us an explanation, and neither will the city leaders!"

"Yes, yes, we farmers have lost our land! How are we supposed to live? Isn't this driving us to our deaths?" the others chimed in.

Yang Letian sized up the farmer who had spoken. Judging by his appearance, he was probably over fifty years old, his face deeply wrinkled, etched with the marks of time. He wore a wrinkled, cheap suit, one trouser leg rolled up and covered in mud, and on his feet were a pair of mud-covered, yellow rubber boots.

Looking at this farmer, Yang Letian suddenly thought of his own father. In his memory, wasn't his father just like this? A deep sense of sympathy welled up within Yang Letian for the group of people before him.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd. It turned out that some people at the front had clashed with the riot police. A middle-aged woman was pushed to the ground by a policeman. Sitting on the ground, she burst into tears, sobbing, "My God! Is there no way for people to live these days? The village officials don't care about us anymore, and now the city leaders won't see us. We don't even have a place to reason with them. Does the government not care about farmers anymore? God! How are we farmers supposed to survive?" Her voice was heartbreaking, and those around her either wiped away tears or sighed. The riot police, however, seemed oblivious, standing there sternly and dutifully.

Seeing this, Yang Letian could do nothing but shake his head and sigh. With the riot police standing there like fierce demons, he figured he wouldn't be able to get in, even with a pass. So Yang Letian went back to his car and sent Lin Wan a text message saying he was waiting for her at the entrance.

After a good ten minutes, Lin Wan called him. Her voice was urgent. "You saw those people at the door, right? I'm very busy right now, please wait a little longer."

"No problem, Mayor Lin, you go ahead and do your work, I'll wait."

"Okay." Lin Wan hummed and hung up.

"Sigh, I guess I'll just have to wait," Yang Letian muttered to himself, "At least I'm sitting comfortably in my car waiting, much better than those farmers standing there, constantly being pushed and shoved by riot police." Yang Letian

lit a cigarette, his eyes still fixed on the farmers petitioning ahead. He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of sorrow and reflection), thinking to himself, "How many officials these days truly work for the people? They're all either scrambling to climb the ladder or trying every possible way to line their own pockets. Otherwise, why are there so many corrupt officials these days?" Thinking of this, Yang Letian suddenly remembered a text message he had once received, describing those corrupt officials: "With nutritional supplements in their mouths and condoms on their penises." With nothing much to do at work or after get off work, I just grab a prostitute and have sex. If you need my help, you treat me to a feast, even the most extravagant meals. Once or twice isn't much, but three or four times is still not enough. I sleep with pretty girls, and I'll take any seductive woman I want. Only after you've satisfied me will you write down any approvals. When an inspection team comes, they ask me all sorts of questions I don't know. Excellent performance leads to a promotion, a smooth and successful career, and I laugh heartily. Who can be as carefree as me? Carefree! So carefree!

After Yang Letian finished his fifth cigarette, the farmers gathered in front of the municipal government building seemed to loosen their grip, and the crowd began to disperse. Soon, the hundreds of people who had gathered were gone, and the area in front of the municipal government building returned to its former calm and order. Seeing this, Yang Letian thought to himself, "I hope these farmers' problems are truly resolved, and not just lured away by the smooth talk of those petitioners. Deception doesn't solve anything. If the problems aren't resolved, these farmers will come back, and the conflict will only deepen, even escalate. If it reaches an irreconcilable point, then these officials' positions will be in jeopardy."

"Oh, why should I worry about all that? I haven't even finished my own business yet," Yang Letian chuckled. Just as he was about to call Lin Wan again, her call came first. Yang Letian quickly answered.

"I'm already out. I'm in the park now. Come over," Lin Wan said casually on the other end of the line.

"Ah! You're out? In the park? But I didn't see any cars coming out of the city government building!" Yang Letian exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe... You're sometimes smart and sometimes stupid. Did you think this huge city government compound only had one exit?" Lin Wan's laughter

was clear and melodious. Yang Letian suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "Mayor Lin, please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Letian hurriedly started the car, turning the steering wheel while muttering to himself, "Damn, I'm really stupid. I thought that main gate was the only way in and out of the city government. But that slut Lin Wan doesn't seem to be very good either. Not only does she not come forward to solve the people's petitions, but she also slips away through the back door. It's a wonder she keeps spouting the 'Three Represents' all the time."

They soon arrived at the park. Yang Letian got out of the car and looked around, but he didn't see Lin Wan anywhere. "Damn, is she playing a trick on me?" Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a silvery laugh behind him. Yang Letian quickly turned around and saw Lin Wan leaning against his car door, winking at him.

Yang Letian quickly went to greet her and said with a smile, "Mayor Lin, you're here?"

"I've been here for a while. Hurry up and open the car door. Do you want me to just stand here?" Lin Wan's tone was surprisingly coquettish, completely different from her composed and serious demeanor in the office.

"Okay, okay." Yang Letian hurriedly opened the back door for her, but Lin Wan didn't get in. She just gestured towards the passenger seat with her mouth, so Yang Letian opened the passenger door for her.

Once in the car, Yang Letian noticed that Lin Wan's attire was different from what she wore in the office. That afternoon, she had worn a formal gray business suit, looking sharp and capable. Now, however, she was much more stylish. A white shirt with a black vest perfectly accentuated her curves, paired with a dark red knee-length skirt and light black high-heeled sandals. The whole outfit was fresh yet alluring, prompting Yang Letian to secretly admire her, thinking, "Regardless of her official position, the title of 'beautiful mayor' is certainly well-deserved!"

Chapter 190 Alone with Wan

"Hey, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Lin Wan asked with a smile.

"Oh. No, nothing." Yang Letian felt a little embarrassed; staring at someone so intently was indeed rather impolite.

"Staring at someone like that and then saying you didn't see anything? What if you really did see something? Hehe!" Lin Wan laughed heartily, hardly behaving like a mayor at all.

Yang Letian smiled awkwardly and said, "I just thought Mayor Lin's outfit was very beautiful, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

"Hehe... So you're saying my outfit in the office wasn't beautiful?"

"Not really, it's just that the two outfits have different styles, so they give different impressions." Yang Letian explained.

"Oh, really? It seems you're quite knowledgeable about women's clothing."

"Hehe, I guess so." At this point, Yang Letian quickly changed the subject, "Mayor Lin, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"Anything is fine, you decide." Lin Wan lowered her head and started fiddling with her nails.

Yang Letian's first thought was naturally the International Hotel, as it was the only five-star hotel in Linhai City, and dining there would certainly be a high-class experience. However, the thought immediately brought Yuan Tingting to his mind, and running into her there wouldn't be good. Besides, the people who frequented the International Hotel were generally high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Linhai City, making it more likely that they would know Lin Wan. Furthermore, Yu Jie had specifically reminded him to keep a low profile on the phone earlier, so Yang Letian decided against going to the International Hotel.

"Then let's go to 'Shi Xian Fu' (Food Fairy Mansion). The food there is excellent; I think it's a hundred times better than those Western restaurants," Yang Letian suggested.

"Hmm, I have no objection,"

Lin Wan agreed. With Yang Letian's approval, he stepped on the gas, and the car sped off. Actually, Yang Letian didn't care what they ate; the key was to hand over the money during the meal, and he guessed Lin Wan felt the same way.

"Sigh, these officials these days are so damn hypocritical. They want money but pretend to refuse, only accepting it if you create a special environment. Sometimes I really think they're even more despicable than those blatant robbers," Yang Letian thought bitterly.

"Have you been attending any of those parties lately?" Lin Wan suddenly asked, startling Yang Letian so much he almost slammed on the brakes.

"No...no, that time a friend took me, and I haven't attended any of those parties since then," Yang Letian answered honestly after the initial shock. He was a little confused about what Lin Wan meant by asking this.

"I haven't attended any either," Lin Wan said, seemingly to herself but also to Yang Letian.

"Oh, really? Hehe!" Yang Letian didn't know how to respond, so he just gave a dry laugh and asked a meaningless question.

"Yes, do you find that strange?" Lin Wan looked at him and said.

Yang Letian quickly replied, "No, what's so strange about that? I haven't attended any since then either. Actually, I think whether or not you attend those kinds of gatherings depends entirely on your mood at the time. If you're in a good mood, you'll naturally disdain them. If you're in a bad mood or have a sense of curiosity, then you'll be enthusiastic about it. Of course, some people regret it afterward, so I don't think attending those kinds of gatherings has anything to do with morality or character."

"Hehe, do you really think that way? You're not just making excuses for yourself, are you?" Lin Wan chuckled lightly.

"Damn it, am I not making excuses for you too?" Yang Letian thought to himself. Despite this, a humble smile remained on his face as he said, "Just take it as me making excuses for myself, haha!"

Lin Wan giggled and said, "You're such a sly little thing."

Yang Letian chuckled and then said, "Oh, by the way, Mayor Lin, what happened to those people at the city government building? I saw riot police arrive. Did things escalate too much?"

"Hmph, those troublemakers, they wanted to make a scene, but could I let them? You saw it yourself, didn't you? Those country bumpkins all left obediently afterward," Lin Wan said with disdain.

Hearing this, Yang Letian felt particularly uncomfortable and saddened. He thought to himself, "Is this how our mayor treats ordinary people? Is this how the officials of the Communist Party treat them? What's the difference between this and the bureaucrats of feudal society?" He was filled with mixed emotions.

Seeing the strange look on Yang Letian's face, Lin Wan pursed her lips and said, "What? You have a problem with me? You think I'm not qualified to be the vice mayor of Linhai City?"

"Hehe, not at all. Maybe you have your own difficulties. I'm not qualified to comment," Yang Letian said casually with a smile.

“Sigh, you have no idea how tiring it is for me to be mayor! I have to develop the economy, but also quell the conflicts that come with it. The pressure is immense! Take today's petition, for example. On the surface, it seems like we caused it by giving them too little land compensation, and we should bear the main responsibility, but you haven't seen the real issue.” Lin Wan's words carried a hint of complaint.

“Oh?” Yang Letian boldly said, “Actually, I think those farmers are quite pitiful.”

“Heh, pitiful?” Lin Wan sneered. “You could say they're insatiable. Yes, the land compensation we gave them was indeed a bit low, but they need to understand why we're requisitioning their land. It's for economic development! How much profit can their few acres of barren farmland generate in a year? I think even if they work themselves to death, they'll only earn a few thousand yuan a year. But now we've taken their land and built an economic development zone. Once it's built, I believe it won't be long before it attracts a large amount of foreign investment to set up factories. As long as there are factories, they'll have jobs, and thus they…” "Completely shedding their peasant identity and transitioning to industrial work will not only change their status but also significantly increase their income. Do you think they'd suffer a loss? Their current fuss is just a bunch of short-sighted country bumpkins."

Yang Letian thought Lin Wan's words made some sense, but upon closer examination, something seemed amiss. He felt it was entirely Lin Wan's wishful thinking. First, it was uncertain when this economic development zone would be built. Given the current way things are done, it would likely take three to five years. During that time, what would the farmers who lost their land eat? Even if it was built, whether it would attract foreign investment was unknown. And even if it did, whether those foreign investors would be willing to employ these unskilled farmers was another unknown. All these unknowns combined completely negated Lin Wan's noble intention that the land acquisition was for the farmers' prosperity.

Of course, these were just Yang Letian's thoughts; he dared not reveal them to Lin Wan. He simply chuckled, "Hehe, Mayor Lin, they'll appreciate your good intentions sooner or later. They'll be eternally grateful." "

Hmph, no need for gratitude. I'll be thankful if they don't keep causing trouble."

"Shi Xian Fu" is a long-established restaurant, its most famous dish being roasted whole duck. While its reputation doesn't rival Beijing's "Quanjude," in the hearts of locals in Linhai, it's equivalent to Beijing's "Quanjude."

Although "Shi Xian Fu" is a long-established restaurant in Linhai, it wasn't considered a high-end establishment in the past. Back then, a roasted whole duck only cost a dozen yuan, far less than foreign brands like "KFC" and "McDonald's." However, in recent years, under the national policy of protecting domestic industries and brands, "Shi Xian Fu" has flourished, its standards rising daily, and it's no longer a place ordinary people can afford.

Despite this, "Shi Xian Fu" was still very popular, with many people dining there. When Yang Letian and Lin Wan entered, the main hall was almost full, but Yang Letian didn't mind; he hadn't intended to reserve seats in the main hall anyway. At this moment, a waitress approached and said, "Hello!"

"Do you have a private room?" Yang Letian asked.

"Yes, please follow me." The waitress led them upstairs.

Upon reaching the private room, Yang Letian gentlemanly took Lin Wan's handbag, hung it on the rack, and then pulled out a chair for her to sit down. "Hehe, you really know how to please women," Lin Wan laughed.

"Hehe, it's my honor to serve the mayor, to serve our patriots," Yang Letian said, sitting down on the other side of the table, facing Lin Wan.

"Hey, don't keep calling me Mayor, Mayor, okay? When we're alone, just call me Sister Wan," Lin Wan said with a smile.

"Damn, this woman's getting all hot and bothered," Yang Letian thought to himself. But that was exactly what he wanted. If Lin Wan kept putting on airs like a mayor, things wouldn't go smoothly today.

"Okay, Sister Wan," Yang Letian quickly changed his tune.

"Hehe, that's more like it." Lin Wan beckoned to him, "Don't sit so far away, come closer to Sister Wan, it'll be easier to talk that way."

Yang Letian knew Lin Wan was starting to flirt with him, and he was prepared for it. To him, this was just another romantic encounter, and he could conveniently get his business done while he was at it—why not?

"Sister Wan, you absolutely must accept this. You don't want me to go back and get scolded by President Yu, and put me in a difficult position, right?" Yang Letian sat down next to Lin Wan and placed his UnionPay card on her desk.

"Haha, it's not hard for me to accept it, but I'll have to see how you perform tonight," Lin Wan said with a wanton smile.

Hearing Lin Wan's blatant words, Yang Letian loosened his purse strings considerably. He lightly placed his hand on Lin Wan's thigh, casually tracing her thigh with his fingers, and said, "Sister Wan, if you accept this, it'll be a huge favor to me. I can't possibly thank you enough."

"Hehe, really? Then let's see how you plan to thank me," Lin Wan said with a charming smile.

Just as Yang Letian was about to take further action, the door to the private room opened, and several waitresses filed in. They had come to serve them the food. Yang Letian and Lin Wan quickly sat up straight, becoming serious.

The food at "Shi Xian Fu" truly lived up to its reputation. Even before the dishes were fully served, a rich aroma filled the room, making one's mouth water and whetting their appetite. When the last main dish, roasted whole duck, was served, the aroma in the room became even more intense, making everyone's mouths water even more.

"Come on, Sister Wan. Try the signature dish here." Yang Letian cut off a duck leg and put it in Lin Wan's bowl, while pouring her a glass of Moutai. "Hehe, I originally wanted to order a bottle of XO, but then I thought that this place is all traditional Chinese, and ordering a foreign thing would seem a bit out of place, so I ordered a bottle of our national liquor instead. How about it? Sister Wan, do you like it?"

Chapter 191 Beauty and Trade

"Very good, I really like Moutai. Besides, eating roast duck and drinking foreign liquor does seem a bit out of place, hehe!" Lin Wan took a sip of the liquor and said, "Come on, you should try some too."

"Hehe, Sister Wan, I'm glad you're satisfied." After saying that, Yang Letian also picked up a piece of roast duck and tasted it. The taste was indeed excellent.

And so, the two ate roast duck and drank Moutai liquor. Time flew by, and the once-fat duck was reduced to a pile of bones. The half-jin bottle of Moutai was almost empty. Yang Letian remained unfazed, his expression unchanged, but Lin Wan was slightly tipsy. Her cheeks were flushed, like they had been rouged, making her look incredibly charming.

At this moment, Lin Wan looked at Yang Letian with watery eyes and said, "Letian, tell me, have you thought about me since that day? Tell the truth, no lying, okay?"

"Yes, of course I have," Yang Letian replied without hesitation. In his heart, he thought, "How could I not have thought about you? When I was in jail because of Huang Fei, I immediately thought of you, and I almost called you."

Hearing Yang Letian's resolute tone, Lin Wan smiled with satisfaction. Little did she know that Yang Letian had thought of her because he was in trouble, not because he loved her.

"Actually, I often think about you too. You're truly a man that women can't let go of," Lin Wan said, gently touching Yang Letian's face, emboldened by the alcohol.

Yang Letian suddenly felt a sense of humiliation, as if he were selling his body. For the first time, in this self-deceptive attempt to portray himself as having a romantic encounter, he felt himself at a disadvantage. At this point, he stopped deceiving himself and thought, "This isn't a romantic encounter at all; it's clearly selling my body to secure a bribe." Thinking this, Yang Letian wavered. He wanted to withdraw from this humiliating transaction, but remembering Yu Jie's mocking gaze and merciless reprimands, he gritted his teeth and decided to complete the deal.

"Sister Wan, look at this..." Yang Letian picked up the UnionPay card on the table.

"Ugh, why do you keep bringing this up? Aren't you going to spoil the mood?" Lin Wan glared at him.

"Damn it, I'm giving you money and you're still putting on airs. You're so hypocritical!" Yang Letian cursed inwardly.

Despite his inner grumbling, Yang Letian still had to give the money. Just as he was about to continue speaking with a forced smile, Lin Wan let out a long sigh, a sigh tinged with helplessness and desolation.

"Why are you sighing when I'm giving you money? I'd be overjoyed if someone gave me money," Yang Letian thought to himself. But he spoke with concern, "Sister Wan, what's wrong? You seem unhappy."

"Actually, I don't lack money at all. Money doesn't mean much to me. But you people, every time you ask me for a favor, you give me money. Tell me, what use is all that money to me? No one can give me what I want, but people keep giving me what I don't want. Sigh!" Lin Wan said wistfully.

"This…" Yang Letian hadn't expected Lin Wan to say this and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing Yang Letian's dazed expression, Lin Wan chuckled and said, "Come on, let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue drinking."

Yang Letian, realizing something, immediately chimed in, "Yes, Sister Wan, what you said is quite right. Actually, having more money isn't necessarily a good thing. From what I've seen in the past few years since I entered society, most wealthy people are toiling away all day, burdened by money, and can't enjoy the happiness that money brings. In other words, money can't necessarily buy happiness, and happiness doesn't need money to buy it. Many wealthy people seem glamorous on the surface, but in reality, they have unhappy marriages, disharmonious families, and don't even have someone to confide in. These are things that outsiders don't know."

Lin Wan swirled the wine in her glass, her expression somber, and said, "Letian, do you think I'm happy?"

Yang Letian looked deeply at Lin Wan, then said earnestly, "Sister Wan, you don't seem happy. Can you tell me what's troubling you?"

"My suffering is endless," Lin Wan said, downing her Moutai in one gulp, as if it were red wine.

Yang Letian quickly snatched the glass from her hand, saying, "Sister Wan, don't do that. Drinking like that is bad for your health." But in his heart, he thought, "Damn it, if you get completely drunk and don't get things done, then this meal will have been a waste."

"Haha, does anyone in this world care about my health?" Lin Wan laughed heartily.

"Sister Wan, you're drunk. Let me take you home." Seeing this, Yang Letian didn't dare let her linger any longer, so he quickly called the waiter to settle the bill.

Yang Letian helped the rather intoxicated Lin Wan back to the car. Although Lin Wan's steps were unsteady and her intoxication obvious, she seemed to sober up once they were in the car, though her face was still flushed, making it clear she had been drinking. She gently brushed her hair aside, then held out her hand and said, "Give it to me!"

Yang Letian was taken aback, asking in confusion, "What?"

Lin Wan glanced at him and said, "What was your purpose in inviting me tonight?"

Yang Letian suddenly realized, quickly taking out the UnionPay card from his pocket and handing it to Lin Wan, saying, "Thank you, Sister Wan. Please take care of things at our company."

Lin Wan took the UnionPay card, then casually tossed it into her handbag, saying, "Alright, now your task is complete. How are you going to thank me?"

Yang Letian had anticipated this question, so he calmly countered, "Sister Wan, how do you want me to thank you?"

Lin Wan chuckled, then closed her eyes and said in a commanding tone, "Kiss me!"

"Ah!" Yang Letian was startled; he hadn't expected Lin Wan to be so direct.

"What?!" Lin Wan suddenly threw herself into Yang Letian's arms, hugging him tightly and kissing his mouth frantically, her tongue darting around in his mouth. At the same time, her hands were busy unbundling Yang Letian's belt.

Yang Letian was stunned; he was caught off guard by Lin Wan's actions and didn't react for a moment. By the time he did, his belt was undone, and his underwear had been pulled down, revealing his erect penis.

Yang Letian was almost breathless from Lin Wan's actions, and unaccustomed to this passive situation, he simply pulled her onto his lap and began to kiss her back, his hands passionately caressing her soft back.

Passionate kisses landed on Lin Wan's neck, and the scent of CD perfume mixed with the aroma of Moutai immediately filled Yang Letian's nostrils, stimulating his desire. Just as Yang Letian was about to make a further move, Lin Wan suddenly pressed the adjustment button on the back of the chair, lowering it so that Yang Letian could lie flat on it. It seemed Lin Wan wanted to take the initiative again, and Yang Letian had no choice but to comply, obediently lying on the chair and letting her do as she pleased.

Lin Wan straddled Yang Letian, her flushed face radiating allure. She slowly raised her hands and took off her black tight-fitting vest, then began unbuttoning her white shirt. Soon, a pink strapless bra was revealed before Yang Letian's eyes.

Yang Letian watched intently as Lin Wan reached behind her back and unhooked the bra, her firm breasts eagerly springing out and exposing themselves to the air. Bathed in the dim light outside, Lin Wan's pretty face was half-hidden in her cloud-like hair, her slender arms hanging gracefully over her chest, her neck as white as jade, her high, firm breasts trembling slightly, her waist slender enough to be grasped in one hand, her flat, alluring abdomen, and her slightly concave navel…

Yang Letian gazed at her greedily. Suddenly, he felt his shirt buttons undone, and a surge of heat rose within him. His hardened nipples slid slowly down his chest, rubbing against his lower abdomen, while simultaneously he felt a small mouth gently kissing his chest.

Enjoying the passionate seduction, Yang Letian returned the favor, greedily caressing her smooth, bare back, his hand sliding over her firm buttocks and landing on her smooth thighs. Then, Yang Letian lifted her skirt and reached inside; just as he had expected, Lin Wan's panties were already soaked.

"Sister Wan, you're so wet!" Yang Letian teased, his hand feeling the shape of Lin Wan's lower body. Her panties had already been pulled down, revealing her sparse pubic hair and overflowing vulva. His middle finger pressed down along the indentation, meeting the erection at the top of the vulva amidst the torrent of fluid. Lin Wan gritted her teeth, enduring the electric-like pleasure. Soon, a gush of nectar shot out from her vagina. Lin Wan shuddered violently a few times before collapsing onto Yang Letian.

"Want to do it again?" Yang Letian let Lin Wan rest for a while, then pressed his erect penis against her thigh, startling her with its heat: "Ah... what is this...?" She immediately realized what it was and giggled, saying, "I almost forgot, you weren't satisfied yet. Hehe, but I want to be on top again."

Yang Letian, of course, had no objection. At this moment, Lin Wan slowly brought her vagina close to Yang Letian's erect penis. She stared intently at the two rosy labia that were being slowly stretched open, greedily biting into the huge shaft. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and her breathing became increasingly heavy, as if

she couldn't believe that her small vaginal opening could accommodate something so enormous.

Yang Letian encouraged her by straightening his back, his glans bumping against the small clitoris twice. Lin Wan's body trembled violently, her legs went weak, and she quickly sat down; the hard mushroom head immediately broke through, breaching the narrowest opening.

Lin Wan let out a soft cry of pleasure, her body even more powerless to support her, and she landed heavily on my lower abdomen, completely swallowing Yang Letian's entire penis. The large glans slammed heavily against the top of the vaginal opening, and the narrow passage immediately tightened, locking the invading foreign object tightly.

Yang Letian slowly increased his speed, and Lin Wan began to grasp the pleasure of being high above, constantly twisting her slender waist, coordinating with my thrusts, searching for the most pleasurable spot.

Yang Letian looked up at the beautiful knight riding on his body for the first time, her full and firm breasts bobbing up and down, her rosy nipples not only swollen but also rapidly tracing circular paths. Her firm little buttocks moved rapidly back and forth, licking, spitting out, and swallowing the huge, fiery rod again. Her pretty face was tilted back, and Yang Letian could only deduce from her taut chin, her flowing hair, and her soul-stirring moans that she was about to reach her peak.

Yang Letian thrust his powerful waist, tossing her up with each stroke before slamming her back down. After only a few thrusts, she was done for, collapsing weakly against his chest, letting him pound her fiercely at the end of her fleshy hole. Hot nectar gushed uncontrollably from her flower core, overflowing from their joined place like a pump.

"I'm going to die... I'm going to die...!" Lin Wan screamed in ecstasy, her fleshy hole convulsing violently as she climaxed again! Yang Letian was almost there too! Taking advantage of her still being aroused, he quickly thrust in ten more times before pouring his hot semen into her beautiful little hole once more.

With a long, low gasp, the small car returned to silence. Fortunately, the parking spot was some distance from the busy main road, and the dim lighting and surrounding cars provided cover, preventing anyone from noticing the violent shaking of the vehicle. Of course, they all knew this place was safe enough, which was why they were so unrestrained and dissolute. After

a long while, the woman in the car spoke, her voice languid and sexy. She said, "Let's drive, to the park."

"The park? Sister Wan, should I just take you home?"

"No need, I've already asked my secretary to wait for me there."

"Oh." Yang Letian understood. How could she possibly let him openly drive her home? After all, their relationship was something they couldn't keep secret. Thinking of this, Yang Letian said nothing more and silently started the car.

When they arrived at the park, Lin Wan got out of the car, but Yang Letian didn't see her secretary there. Yang Letian guessed that Lin Wan had called her secretary after arriving, because she didn't want her secretary to know that she had been with him the whole time.

Sure enough, after getting out of the car, Lin Wan said to Yang Letian, "Go back first. Tell your boss, Mr. Yu, to rest assured, I will speak well of your company to the China Securities Regulatory Commission. But you also need to set a good example and not embarrass me."

"I know, I know, I will definitely pass it on," Yang Letian hurriedly replied. "Then I'll be going now."

"Okay." Lin Wan waved her hand, her every move exuding the authority of a mayor.

On the way back, Yang Letian was filled with mixed feelings, thinking, "What the hell am I doing? How am I any different from a gigolo? Not only did I bribe her with money, but I also bribed her with sex. What kind of society is this? It used to be that women sometimes had to sell their bodies to make a name for themselves in society. Now it seems like men and women are equal, and men also have to sell their bodies from time to time to make a name for themselves. I really don't know if society has progressed or regressed?"

"Hello, is this Mr. Yu? The matter is settled." Yang Letian dialed Yu Jie's number.

"Okay, very good. Submit the invoice to the finance department for reimbursement tomorrow. That's all for now. We'll talk about the rest at the company tomorrow." With that, Yu Jie hung up the phone.

"Damn it, I worked my butt off to get things done, and you didn't even offer a word of reward? You're in such a hurry to hang up. What are you rushing off to? Is some gigolo waiting for you?"

Speaking of gigolos, Yang Letian thought, "I must go to Mengyuan Investigation tomorrow and see if Zhang Rong has found out who that gigolo is. Damn it, I can't let that woman Yu Jie lead me by the nose." He was furious and stepped on the gas. In an instant, the black Buick disappeared into the night.

Chapter 192 Buying a Shell Company and Going Public

The second day, Yang Letian arrived at the company early. He wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and then sneak out of the company to go to Mengyuan Investigation Company when Yu Jie wasn't looking. His plan was excellent, but things always change. Around mid-morning, Yang Letian had almost finished his work when his secretary, Xiao Huang, came in and said that President Yu wanted to see him.

"President Yu, what can I do for you?" Yang Letian asked, standing in front of Yu Jie's desk.

"Sit down," Yu Jie gestured with her lips.

After Yang Letian sat down, Yu Jie leaned back in her leather executive chair and said, "The work with the government is basically done. The next step is for the company itself to focus on, to meet the listing requirements as soon as possible. What are your thoughts on this?"

Yang Letian thought for a moment and carefully said, "Judging from our company's current operating situation and financial management, we're probably still a bit far from meeting the listing requirements."

"Hmm," Yu Jie nodded. "I know that too. What I want to ask you now is if you have any methods to help the company reach or even exceed the listing threshold as quickly as possible."

"This..." Yang Letian was speechless, because he knew that it was practically impossible for the company to meet the listing requirements in a short time, unless it involved cheating, but that was illegal, and Yang Letian dared not do that.

"What? Can't offer any constructive suggestions?" Yu Jie twirled her pen in her hand, speaking slowly.

Yang Letian smiled sheepishly, thinking, "Given Yu Jie's shrewdness and competence, she couldn't possibly be unaware that it's difficult for the company to meet the listing requirements in a short time. But judging from her current demeanor, she seems confident about the company's listing; otherwise, she wouldn't have given Lin Wan 300,000 yuan. Given her personality, she wouldn't fight a battle she can't win. So, she must have come up with a way to ensure the company's successful listing, and she's waiting for me to reveal this method. If I can't come up with a solution, it definitely means I'm incompetent. Damn it, she's testing me again."

Yu Jie was still watching him, which made Yang Letian so anxious that he almost scratched his head in frustration. He thought, "Could she be planning to deceive the China Securities Regulatory Commission through fraud to achieve the listing goal? If so, wouldn't her offering this suggestion be an attempt to drag me into this mess, making me her accomplice?" Thinking of this, Yang Letian felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

“I also think that given our company’s current situation, it’s impossible to get approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). It’s also very difficult for us to quickly improve our hardware and software to meet the listing standards. But I think we shouldn’t focus on ourselves; we should look outwards and see what others are doing.” Yu Jie seemed to be reminding Yang Letian.

“Look outwards?” Yang Letian muttered to himself. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he blurted out, “President Yu, you mean a backdoor listing?”

Yu Jie nodded approvingly, “Hmm, you finally guessed it! Not bad, a backdoor listing. It seems you’re quite clever.” Although Yu Jie didn’t explicitly praise Yang Letian, her appreciation was evident.

A backdoor listing refers to a situation where a company’s own operating conditions and profitability are insufficient to qualify for a listing. Therefore, it acquires a small listed company, repackages it, and increases its share capital. A successful backdoor listing can achieve the same effect as a new stock listing.

Seeing the appreciative expression on Yu Jie's face, Yang Letian inwardly felt ashamed. He had only thought of this after Yu Jie repeatedly reminded him; previously, he had assumed she was trying to obtain listing qualifications through illegal means.

"Later, you'll come with me to headquarters for a meeting. Tell those old guys on the board about this idea," Yu Jie said, sitting up straight. "Once I successfully list this company, even if they want to deal with me, it won't be so easy."

Yang Letian knew that "they" Yu Jie referred to meant Yuan Tingting and her family. Sure enough, Yu Jie continued, "Alright, now you should still try to find out about Yuan Tingting's plan, but that's no longer your main task. Your main task now is to successfully implement this backdoor listing plan, understand?"

"Ah!" Yang Letian exclaimed in surprise, "I'm going to implement this backdoor listing plan?"

"That's right, I've decided to entrust this plan to you," Yu Jie said.

Yang Letian inwardly groaned, thinking, "Another tough nut to crack." He said, "President Yu, this plan is extremely important, practically related to the company's future development, so I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

"What? You're already backing down before even accepting the assignment? Looks like I misjudged you," Yu Jie said, pursing her lips.

"Damn, is she trying to goad me?" Yang Letian thought to himself. But he said aloud, "No, President Yu, it's not that I want to back down, but I feel this task is too important, and I'm afraid that if I don't complete it well, it will cause losses to the company."

"You don't need to worry about that. Although you'll be responsible for implementing this plan, I'll be supervising you closely. And you'll need to report to me on major decisions so I can make the judgments. This will minimize the chances of you making mistakes," Yu Jie said, standing up. "Alright, now come with me to the headquarters for the meeting."

"Ah! I don't need to go, do I?" Yang Letian asked hesitantly.

"What? Are you afraid of seeing your Miss Yuan?" Yu Jie smiled slightly.

"Hehe!" Yang Letian chuckled awkwardly, tacitly agreeing. He was indeed afraid of running into Yuan Tingting at the meeting, because he knew that the company's IPO plan would be very beneficial for Yu Jie, but not necessarily for Yuan Tingting and her group. If he went to the meeting now and proposed the IPO plan himself, wouldn't that be going against Yuan Tingting and her group? Although they would know that he was just an executor, he still wouldn't be able to save face.

"Whether you go or not is up to you!" Yu Jie walked towards the coat rack, and Yang Letian cleverly went first, taking down a coat hanging there and handing it to Yu Jie. Yu Jie smiled slightly, gestured with her lips, indicating that she should put it on.

Yang Letian helped her put on her coat, and Yu Jie continued, "But this is a great opportunity for you to shine in front of the company's top management. If the company successfully goes public, your contribution will be second only to mine, and you'll receive more support from the board for future promotions. Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Whether you go or not is up to you."

Hearing Yu Jie's analysis, Yang Letian felt it made sense. He thought to himself, "I've worked so hard, even selling my body, all for what? Isn't it all for achieving something in my career? So why shouldn't I go if attending this meeting will help my career? Besides, I might not even have a direct confrontation with Yuan Tingting and the others at the meeting." Thinking this, Yang Letian said, "Okay, Ms. Yu, I'll go with you."

Yu Jie smiled and said, "Look at you, making it sound so reluctant. Don't worry, since you're genuinely working for me, I won't harm you. On the contrary, I'll promote you vigorously."

"Thank you, Ms. Yu!" Yang Letian said gratefully. A sense of unease settled in his heart. He thought, "What if Yuan Tingting wants me to sabotage the company's IPO instead of helping Yu Jie? Whom should I listen to? Which side should I side with?"

In the past, Yang Letian would have unhesitatingly sided with Yuan Tingting, but now he needed to think carefully. Regardless of Yuan Tingting's sincerity, from an immediate perspective, helping Yu Jie was far more beneficial than helping Yuan Tingting. Yu Jie had promised him 3% of the original shares once the company went public—a considerable fortune. Yuan Tingting, on the other hand, hadn't made any promises, maintaining a secret romantic relationship, and the prospect of joining the Yuan family was a distant and unattainable dream.

Upon reaching the underground parking garage, Yu Jie tossed the car keys to Yang Letian, saying, "Same as always, you drive."

Yang Letian caught the keys and opened the door for her. Once in the car, Yu Jie said, "I heard Xiaoman is coming back in a few days. Did she tell you?"

"No!" Yang Letian fastened his seatbelt and said, "She didn't tell me."

Yu Jie smiled meaningfully and said, "Looks like you need to work harder. These days, especially with beautiful girls who are well-off, it's not easy to win them over, and it's even harder to make them devoted to you after you've won them over, haha!"

Yang Letian smiled awkwardly, thinking, "It's better if she doesn't follow me."

"Oh, by the way, has that guy surnamed Huang contacted you recently?" Yu Jie asked.

"That guy surnamed Huang?" Yang Letian said, "You mean Huang Sanhu?" "

Yes, that's him!" "

He hasn't contacted me, but I ran into him at the entrance of a restaurant last time. He said he was going to treat me to dinner in a few days, haha, but I haven't heard anything yet. I guess it was just a polite remark." Yang Letian laughed. A little puzzled, Yang Letian wondered why Yu Jie had suddenly brought this up. He cautiously asked, "Ms. Yu, why are you asking this?"

"Oh, nothing. I just feel this person is a bit unusual. Although he comes from the underworld and his background isn't exactly clean, I've noticed he's been quite active lately, constantly trying to get close to people in the public security, procuratorate, and judicial systems. He's also trying to use your friend's connections to build relationships with some high-ranking city officials."

"Oh, really? Ms. Yu, how did you know that?" Yang Letian asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, you don't need to ask. I just know. Also, Huang Sanhu sent me an invitation yesterday, inviting me to his housewarming party."

"Ah! Did you go?" Yang Letian asked hastily.

"What a joke! Why would I go and flatter him?" Yu Jie sneered. "I'm very particular about my image. I would never associate with someone with a tarnished reputation. It would not only ruin my image but also damage the company's."

"Oh, Ms. Yu, I understand what you mean," Yang Letian interjected. "If he invites me to dinner or anything, I'll just refuse. Don't worry, it won't bring any negative impact to the company." Yu Jie waved her hand

and said, "That's not what I meant. If he really invites you to do something, then go. That way, you won't offend him too much. There's a saying, 'Better to offend a gentleman than a petty person.' Secondly, you can observe his recent movements closely. This is a critical period for our company as we prepare for our IPO; we need to be careful in everything we do."

"Damn it, why didn't you go when he invited you? Is your image important, but mine isn't? What kind of person is he?" Yang Letian was indignant but helpless, so he could only say, "Really? Would that old guy Huang Sanhu really try to obstruct or sabotage our company's IPO?"

Chapter 193 Tingting's Meeting

"Better safe than sorry. As I said before, this is a critical period for the company's IPO preparation; we need to be careful in everything and avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

"Oh, I understand, Mr. Yu."

The car stopped in front of the Julong Building. Yang Letian had been here several times before, each time with a different feeling. He remembered that the first time he came, curiosity dominated his feelings. He had come here with Yuan Tingting to a meeting, but now he was accompanying Yuan Tingting's old rival, Yu Jie, to the same meeting. It made him sigh at the unpredictability of life. The second time he came, he was excited because he had just returned from a successful mission in Fanshan, Anhui. He was triumphant and about to be promoted and receive a raise. How could he not be excited? This was his third time here, and he was a little nervous. He wondered what it would be like to face off against Yuan Tingting and her team in the meeting room.

"President Yu, Manager Yang, you've arrived?" The receptionist greeted them quickly. "Chairman Yuan and the others are already waiting for you in the meeting room."

"Okay, I know," Yu Jie said casually, walking straight towards the elevator. Yang Letian quickly stepped forward and pressed the elevator button for the floor where the meeting room was located.

"Later, try to explain the backdoor listing plan in as much detail as possible, and try to convince those old guys on the board that the plan is feasible and will work," Yu Jie said, looking around in the elevator mirror.

"Yeah, I know, but this plan was proposed too hastily, without any preparation. I'm afraid it won't go well," Yang Letian said, sounding unsure of himself.

"Don't worry about that, I'll remind you from the side." As he spoke, the elevator doors opened, and Yu Jie and Yang Letian stepped out one after the other.

Upon entering the conference room, almost everyone was present. Yang Letian glanced around quickly but didn't see Yuan Tingting. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to find a seat towards the back. However, Yu Jie called him back, saying, "Manager Yang, please sit here. You'll be giving a presentation later, and this is more convenient."

The seat was right next to Yu Jie; they sat side-by-side. Yang Letian thought, "That's good. If there's anything I don't think of when I present the plan later, Yu Jie can point it out."

"Everyone's here, can we start the meeting?" Yuan Zixiong asked his secretary.

"Director Yuan isn't here yet," the secretary whispered in Yuan Zixiong's ear.

"Oh, we don't need to wait for her. She called me earlier, saying she had something to do and couldn't attend. Let's begin the meeting now," Yuan Zixiong said to everyone present.

"Something to do and can't come? Is she also afraid of seeing me here?" Yang Letian wondered to himself.

The meeting proceeded smoothly. First, as is customary, the heads of each subsidiary reported to Yuan Zixiong and his shareholders on the quarterly operating results and key future development directions. This process went very well; in less than an hour, everyone had finished reporting except for Yu Jie.

"Mr. Yu, it's your turn," Yuan Zixiong said, tapping the table lightly with his finger.

"Ahem," Yu Jie coughed lightly twice, then turned to Yang Letian and said, "Manager Yang, please distribute this information to everyone so they can take a look."

"Yes, Mr. Yu." Yang Letian stood up, took a stack of documents from his briefcase, and handed half to Yuan Zixiong's secretary. The two began distributing the documents from opposite ends of the table.

"Our Zhengguang Fund's operating status and performance this quarter are clearly described in this document. Everyone can take a look; I won't repeat it here. What I want to focus on now is our company's future development direction." At this point, Yu Jie deliberately paused, looking at Yuan Zixiong without saying anything more.

Yuan Zixiong nodded to her and said, "Go on!"

Yu Jie smiled slightly and said, "The direction is very clear and simple: go public."

Upon hearing this, a buzz of discussion erupted from below. Everyone was whispering among themselves, clearly surprised by the turn of events. Yu Jie, seemingly anticipating this reaction, smiled smugly and didn't continue.

Yuan Zixiong was also slightly taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Go public? That's too fast! Your company has been established for less than a year. Can you really go public?"

"Yes, going public isn't something you can just do on a whim. It's not like before. The application and approval process for companies going public is extremely rigorous. With your Zhengguang Fund's current financial situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the review," one of the directors said.

Yu Jie nudged Yang Letian lightly with her elbow. Yang Letian understood, knowing it was his turn to speak. He stood up and addressed the director who had spoken earlier, saying, "You're right. As Chairman Yuan just said, Zhengguang Fund has only recently been established, so its operations are not yet fully in place. Its economic situation is still some distance from meeting the requirements for listing. Changing these things will take time and requires fundamental solutions, so..."

Yang Letian was interrupted by someone below, who said, "Since you don't meet the listing requirements, what makes you think you can list? Are you trying to deceive us? Those people at the China Securities Regulatory Commission aren't easily fooled."

"Hehe, sir, please let me finish. Deception? Of course we wouldn't do that, because it's illegal, and we would never do anything illegal," Yang Letian smiled.

"Oh, please continue," Yuan Zixiong said, looking at Yang Letian.

"Yes, Chairman." Yang Letian bowed slightly to Yuan Zixiong, then continued, "As everyone knows, for a company to develop, going public is the only option. Only through capital operations and substantial financing can a company achieve long-term growth. However, everyone knows that the approval process for going public is very strict. Given our company's current situation, it's unlikely we'll obtain approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). Therefore, we must find another way, change our strategy, and approach it from a different angle." Yang Letian paused, looked around, and this time no one interrupted him. Everyone stared intently, eager to know what method he would use to help the company successfully pass the CSRC's approval and achieve its listing goal.

"Actually, the method is very simple: a reverse takeover." Yang Letian calmly revealed this after building up everyone's interest.

Immediately, a buzz of discussion arose as everyone discussed the feasibility of this method. At this point, one shareholder said, "While the method of buying a shell company for listing is certainly good, is it feasible in practice? In other words, have you found a shell company yet?"

Yang Letian was taken aback. He hadn't discussed the specific method with Yu Jie, so he didn't know how to answer the director's question. At this moment, Yu Jie immediately interjected, "We haven't decided on the specific shell company yet, but the general direction is clear: we'll first find a small listed company, then acquire it and expand our share capital, thus effectively listing our company. Actually, this method isn't new. Most companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange initially used this method, so you don't need to doubt its feasibility."

"Haha, President Yu, you're really amazing! Your company has been established for less than a year and you're already listed. It's practically breaking our group's record since its inception!" a shareholder in his fifties laughed.

"Hehe, not at all. Creating maximum benefits for the company and its shareholders is my duty," Yu Jie said modestly, but her face clearly showed her pride.

"Hmm, your plan sounds pretty good. I'll be waiting for the good news about your company's IPO." Yuan Zixiong said calmly.

"Don't worry, Chairman Yuan, I will definitely get the company listed as soon as possible. Just wait for my good news." Yu Jie said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but Yang Letian felt that there was a provocative and defiant tone in her voice.

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting." With that, Yuan Zixiong led the way out of the meeting room. After him, the others followed suit, but Yu Jie remained seated with a smile, not moving. Seeing she wasn't leaving, Yang Letian didn't want to rush off, so he stood beside her. When only the two of them were left, Yu Jie still showed no sign of getting up to leave. Yang Letian couldn't help but whisper, "Ms. Yu, shouldn't we head back to the company?"

"Hehe, did you see that old man Yuan's expression just now? It was hilarious! Haha!" Yu Jie was still basking in the joy of the moment.

Yang Letian was startled and quickly glanced outside the door. Then he bent down and whispered in Yu Jie's ear, "President Yu, be careful someone doesn't hear us."

Yu Jie glanced outside the door, then looked at Yang Letian and said, "Tch, what's there to be afraid of? What can they do if they hear us? I'm just happy today, I'll say whatever I want."

"Damn, aren't you afraid? If you weren't afraid, why were you looking outside the door?" Yang Letian thought to himself, "I kindly reminded you, and you didn't even get a good response, really." Yang Letian felt a little annoyed.

"Alright, let's go." Yu Jie stood up and said. Actually, she was still somewhat wary of Yuan Zixiong. After all, he was still the chairman of the group company and the largest shareholder. She couldn't underestimate him, even though she had won in these previous confrontations.

Yang Letian continued to walk behind Yu Jie. Just as they stepped out of the company building, Yang Letian's phone suddenly vibrated. He knew a text message had arrived, so he quietly opened it and saw that it was from Yuan Tingting. The message read: Can you come to my place? Now!

Yang Letian quickly typed two words: Okay. He put his phone back in his pocket, stepped forward, and said to Yu Jie, "Ms. Yu, I just remembered, I have to go to a friend's place at noon, so I can't go back to the company with you."

"Then go ahead, but don't drink at noon, okay? I have things to do this afternoon." Yu Jie was in a good mood, gave him a few instructions, waved for Yang Letian to leave, and got into her car, speeding away.

He hailed a taxi and quickly arrived at the International Hotel. Reaching Yuan Tingting's room, Yang Letian straightened his clothes before gently knocking twice.

"Come in!" Yuan Tingting's voice came from inside after just two knocks.

Yang Letian then realized the door wasn't locked. He gently turned the lock and went inside, but didn't find Yuan Tingting. "I'm here," came the voice from Yuan Tingting's bedroom.

Chapter 194 Sharing the Truth

Yang Letian entered the bedroom and saw the bedsheets in disarray. Yuan Tingting, wearing a loose-fitting blouse, sat on the windowsill, looking down at the crowd of people below, who resembled ants. Yang Letian was startled. This was too dangerous! If she slipped and fell, she would be smashed to pieces. He cried out, "Tingting, this is too dangerous! Come down!"

Yuan Tingting turned around and gave him a giggle, saying sweetly, "What? Did you think I was going to commit suicide?"

Only then did Yang Letian notice there was another glass window in front of him, only slightly ajar, about ten centimeters wide, so there was no danger. Yang Letian chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, I'm getting old, my eyesight's failing, I didn't see you had a double insurance."

"Come on, what old-fashioned nonsense? Trying to act superior because of your age? Hehe, you're not qualified." Yuan Tingting chuckled, her long, beautiful legs exposed beneath her blouse, a truly pleasing sight. Yang Letian couldn't tear his gaze away.

Yuan Tingting was currently sitting on her knees, leaning against the windowsill, half her shoulder exposed outside the neckline of her blouse, revealing she wasn't wearing a bra. Her other beautiful leg dangled casually to the ground, kicking gently. The white panties between her thighs were alluringly visible.

Yang Letian swallowed hard. He walked up to Yuan Tingting, put his arm around her shoulder, and asked, "Why didn't you go to the meeting today? Chairman Yuan said you had something to do. What is it?"

Yuan Tingting rested her head on Yang Letian's chest, not answering his question, but instead asking, "Did you come up with that plan for her? It's great! That plan is perfect."

Yang Letian knew that "she" Yuan Tingting was referring to was Yu Jie. Although he had already guessed that Yuan Tingting had called him today because of Yu Jie's company's listing, seeing her ask this question right away, her purpose seemed too obvious, and he felt a little disgusted. He thought to himself, "You only call me when there's something going on, and then you disappear when there's nothing to do. I really don't know where you put me in your heart."

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you unhappy?" Yuan Tingting noticed the strangeness on Yang Letian's face.

"Oh, no, no." For some reason, upon hearing Yuan Tingting's gentle words, Yang Letian's displeasure vanished. "Actually, you should be able to guess that this plan wasn't my doing at all." Yuan Tingting

said softly, "Yes, I know. I just wanted to confirm it with you. Yu Jie's move was indeed quite clever. We had already devised a plan to deal with her, but unexpectedly, she came up with this plan halfway through, completely disrupting our plans. It seems she won this round again." Yang

Letian's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, "Yu Jie is right. Yuan Tingting and the others are indeed brewing a plan to deal with her, but now, hearing..." Judging from Tingting's tone, the plan seemed unlikely to work. "Well, whether it works or not, I'll find out first." Thinking this, Yang Letian feigned surprise, "What? You're already planning to deal with Yu Jie? I've never heard you mention this before?"

Yuan Tingting put her arm around Yang Letian's waist and whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide anything from you, but before today, this plan was very important and required high secrecy. Only a few of us knew about it. And since you're with Yu Jie every day, I was afraid that if I told you, you might accidentally reveal some clues to her, making her more vigilant and cautious, which would ruin our efforts."

"Aren't you ruining everything now?" Yang Letian released his hand from her shoulder, his face ashen. He was indeed angry; if before it was just suspicion, today it was confirmation. Yuan Tingting had never truly loved him. Her closeness to him was merely due to her resemblance to her ex-boyfriend's face and his supposedly clever mind, all to make him willingly do things for her. Thinking this, Yang Letian felt a dull ache in his heart.

Seeing Yang Letian's reaction, Yuan Tingting was slightly taken aback, then slid down from the windowsill, pressing her delicate body against Yang Letian's from behind, her pink face against the back of his neck, and said softly, "I'm so sorry. It's not that I don't trust you, and it's not that I intentionally wanted to hide it from you. It's just that the plan… so the fewer people who know, the better. If I had known you would be this angry, I would have risked being scolded by my father to tell you. I'm really sorry, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Yuan Tingting's hands wrapped around Yang Letian's chest, her cherry lips licking and kissing the back of his ear.

Yang Letian's heart softened; he couldn't resist a girl's vulnerable demeanor. "Tingting..." Yang Letian slowly turned around and was shocked to find two lines of clear tears streaming down her bright eyes.

He gently pulled her into his arms, looking at her tear-streaked face and feeling her soft body in his embrace. Unable to resist his inner impulse, Yang Letian pressed a deep kiss against Yuan Tingting's hot, fragrant lips. Her nimble little tongue, laden with delicious saliva, entered Yang Letian's mouth, and he instinctively met hers. Their tongues intertwined tightly, entwining in each other's mouths, expressing their mutual desire. Yuan Tingting's arms smoothly wrapped around Yang Letian's neck, her hot body pressing against him, fully open to him. The two kissed passionately, lost in the rising tide of passion.

Sometime later, Yang Letian and Yuan Tingting were already sprawled on the large but somewhat disheveled bed. Yang Letian's hands tore open her loose blouse, caressing her high, firm breasts and kneading her vibrant nipples. Small goosebumps rose on Yuan Tingting's smooth skin under Yang Letian's rough fingers. The sunlight streaming through the window shone on her naked body, as if gilding it with a beautiful golden edge. Yang Letian became even more carried away. He pulled down Yuan Tingting's slightly damp white lace panties, his fingers touching her warm, moist secret passage.

Yang Letian stood by the bed, staring intently at Yuan Tingting's naked body, calmly loosening his tie and removing his shirt. Truly a masterpiece of nature, her soft, full, and exquisitely curved body highlighted her full breasts and hips, her legs long and slender.

Yuan Tingting was somewhat shy and timid. She grabbed the sheet from the bed and covered her naked body. Yang Letian unzipped his pants, climbed onto the bed, and slung himself over her. First, he pulled off the sheet covering her naked body, and then, taking advantage of her hesitation, he lifted her legs high and forcefully spread them apart. As Yang Letian lowered his body, he pressed his lips to Yuan Tingting's cheek and gently licked her earlobe. His magnificent member rested on her vulva like a large bird, and with repeated thrusting, he could reach the crucial spot between her legs, causing her to writhe uncontrollably.

Yang Letian's head touched that soft spot and felt a warm, wet sensation. He found her erogenous zone, tightened his buttocks, and lowered his waist slightly. He began to thrust slowly and gracefully, rotating, gradually bringing her a light, floating pleasure.

Yang Letian noticed that Yuan Tingting's thighs were tense, her whole body trembling with anxious anticipation. At that moment, his large member seemed to swoop down from an unbelievable height, landing with incredible force, successfully capturing its prey and pressing tightly inside.

Under Yang Letian's thrusts, she wanted to scream, but before the words could escape her lips, she held her breath and endured. His member rested inside her for a moment, then, reaching its limit, slowly withdrew and slowly thrust in again, its movements rhythmic and varied, leaving the woman beneath him breathless and bewildered. Her hands gripped his arms, her nails digging deep into his muscles, trembling weakly. Her pink face flushed crimson with eagerness, like a sunset glow.

He kept teasing her in her ear, while his manhood beneath her was equally active, repeatedly thrusting in and out, stirring up Yuan Tingting's juices until they overflowed. It was as if lava was gathering, accumulating, and waiting to erupt within her. This was undeniably due to his slow stimulation and arousal, coupled with his constant praise and touching words.

Yuan Tingting wrapped her legs tightly around his supple waist, his hands lifting her buttocks, lifting and falling with him. His strong member grew more powerful with each thrust, each stroke bringing out sticky fluids, making the sounds as sweet and melodious as fish nibbling at water.

Yang Letian clearly sensed that she had reached the crucial moment, and his speed increased instantly. He positioned the head of his penis at the top of her labia, rubbing, testing, and thrusting, instantly triggering her orgasm. Her insides spasmed and tightened, and hot, lustful fluid gushed out like a spring. Yuan Tingting swayed her head, her moans growing more passionate and unrestrained with each thrust. Finally, he led her to the peak of pleasure. As he released his surging passion, Yuan Tingting's entire body hung up, clinging tightly to him, as if she wanted to embed herself into his body. His engorgement, his stretching, his leaping struck her, her face contorted with intense pleasure, and a piercing scream escaped from her chest.

After a passionate and intimate encounter, Yang Letian said to Yuan Tingting, who was still immersed in the afterglow of her climax, "Now you can tell me what exactly that plan is."

"The reason this plan is kept so secret is actually quite simple. We'll arrange for someone to create a fake project and apply for investment at your company, causing you significant losses. This way, Yu Jie won't be able to explain herself to the board of directors, leading to her resignation from management, and possibly even the board itself. Although she'll still be a shareholder, her threat and challenge to us will be greatly reduced. In other words, dealing with her will be much easier." A simple yet ruthless and effective plan was revealed from Yuan Tingting's rosy lips.

Yuan Tingting's tone remained gentle, but the murderous intent and ruthlessness emanating from it sent chills down Yang Letian's spine. He hadn't expected that someone as beautiful and elegant as Yuan Tingting could be so ruthless in dealing with her opponents, surpassing even Yu Jie in some ways. This made him realize that the cruelty of business battles was no less than that of a battlefield—it was a matter of life or death.

But at this point, Yang Letian was a little confused. Why would the plan to go public fail? He couldn't figure out what the success or failure of the plan had to do with whether the company went public. So Yang Letian confided his doubts to Yuan Tingting, who was nestled beside him. Yuan Tingting chuckled and poked his forehead, saying sweetly, "You're usually so clever, but you've made a foolish mistake. Think about it, this plan sounds simple, but it'll take quite a bit of work to execute. It'll be difficult to complete in less than two or three months. If, during this time, Yu Jie manages to get the company listed, then even if the plan succeeds, the impact on Yu Jie won't be that significant. Why do I say that? Because if the company goes public and suffers losses, the most direct victims will be the shareholders. The shareholders bear most of the company's risk, and the company itself won't suffer too much loss. Since it won't suffer too much loss, it naturally won't provoke a strong reaction from the company's board of directors. Yu Jie can still be the general manager and continue to serve as a senior executive. Do you understand?"

Hearing Yuan Tingting's explanation, Yang Letian suddenly understood and said, "No wonder every company is willing to go to great lengths to go public. It turns out that going public not only raises capital..." "It has the benefits of investment, and it also has the wonderful use of risk avoidance."

Yuan Tingting laughed, "You only realize that now? Who told you not to study finance in college? Why did you have to study some 'chemistry' stuff? How about that? Now you know your knowledge isn't enough, right?"

Yang Letian smiled sheepishly, "Learning by doing is good too. With you as my teacher, do you think I won't learn anything?"

Yuan Tingting smiled brightly, "You're not angry with me anymore?"

The little bit of anger in Yang Letian's heart had long since vanished during their intense lovemaking, but he still pretended to be angry, saying, "What's the use of being angry? You've already done it."

Yuan Tingting could see that Yang Letian was no longer angry, but she also put on a pitiful expression and said, "I'm sorry, just this once, don't do it again."

Yang Letian chuckled, then kissed her forehead. Although he was no longer so angry with Yuan Tingting, he knew in his heart that there was a rift between him and Yuan Tingting, and it was impossible to go back to the way things were before.

Until Yang Letian left Yuan Tingting's room, Yuan Tingting never mentioned that she wanted him to secretly sabotage Yu Jie's company's listing plan. This made Yang Letian breathe a sigh of relief. When he came, what he feared most was that Yuan Tingting would bring up this matter, because this plan was also related to his own interests. If it was sabotaged in secret, it wouldn't just be Yu Jie who would suffer losses.

The preliminary preparations for Zhengguang Fund's IPO are proceeding smoothly, and Yang Letian, as the main person in charge of the project, is extremely busy. He hasn't had time to inquire about the situation with Zhang Rong, only asking a few questions over the phone. He learned that progress has been made, but not to the point of a breakthrough. Zhang Rong assured him that she would make progress as soon as possible and asked him not to worry. However, Yang Letian is no longer in a hurry this time. The conflict between him and Yu Jie has eased. Previously, Yu Jie pressured Yang Letian to inquire about Yuan Tingting's plan, but now the focus has shifted. The IPO has become the top priority, and it has also become a shared goal between him and Yu Jie. Therefore, Yang Letian is under much less pressure and is not so anxious to find something to use against Yu Jie. So he told Zhang Rong that the matter could be investigated slowly and there was no rush. Although Zhang Rong found Yang Letian's change a little strange, she wasn't too concerned and said that she would still investigate as soon as possible, otherwise it would damage her reputation.

Chapter 195 Chen Jun's Visit:

Buying a Shell Company for Listing The first step, naturally, is finding a shell company. Yang Letian has been busy searching for one for the past few days. According to the requirements, the shell company cannot be too large, otherwise they won't be able to acquire it; secondly, they must understand the shell company, otherwise they won't know where to start. Although the company is small, it is still a legitimate listed company and naturally won't sit idly by and watch them be acquired. Moreover, Yu Jie's acquisition funds are very limited. Although she hasn't given Yang Letian a specific amount, judging from her instructions, the amount shouldn't exceed 500 million RMB. These conditions forced Yang Letian and his team to narrow their search to a smaller range.

Days passed, and a shell company meeting those conditions was still not found. This made Yang Letian and his team extremely anxious. The lack of progress meant they couldn't explain themselves to Yu Jie, and if they couldn't, Yu Jie wouldn't give them a good look. Thinking of President Yu's stern expression and cold eyes, everyone prayed for the best.

"Manager Yang, President Yu wants to see you." That day, Yang Letian was discussing matters with his colleagues when his secretary, Xiao Huang, suddenly entered his office and said this.

His colleagues, who were working with him, immediately looked at him with sympathy, knowing that Yu Jie's call for him at this time couldn't be good news. One colleague even shook Yang Letian's hand firmly in a comforting gesture.

When Yang Letian arrived at Yu Jie's office, he was surprised to find Lin Wan there as well. Lin Wan smiled slightly at him upon seeing him but remained silent. Yang Letian greeted her warmly, "Mayor Lin, you've arrived."

Before Lin Wan could speak, Yu Jie interjected, "Mayor Lin is very concerned about our company's listing. She just returned from a meeting in Beijing and came straight to our company after getting off the plane, wanting to inquire about the progress of the listing preparations. This matter is under your responsibility, so I asked you to come and report to Mayor Lin in person."

"Oh, Mayor Lin, the preparations are progressing very smoothly, everything is within the plan, so please rest assured," Yang Letian said confidently, almost patting his chest to guarantee it.

"Hmm, very good. Don't let me down. I did a lot of work for you at the China Securities Regulatory Commission during my trip to Beijing, practically becoming your spokesperson, praising your company like a flower. Now they're just waiting for you to submit your application materials. Hurry up and get all the preparations done, don't embarrass me, haha!" Lin Wan said in an official tone.

"Haha, Mayor Lin, don't worry, we will do our job meticulously and will not let you down." Yu Jie was very satisfied with Yang Letian's confident attitude.

"Alright, I won't disturb your work any longer, I'll be going now." Lin Wan stood up and said.

"I'll see you off." Yu Jie also quickly stood up from her executive chair.

"No, no, you're a very busy boss, especially during this time, so please don't see me off." Lin Wan waved her hand.

"Then... alright then, Manager Yang, please see Mayor Lin off for me." Yu Jie said to Yang Letian, who was standing to the side.

"Yes, Mayor Lin, please!" Yang Letian said politely.

On the way to see Lin Wan off, Lin Wan quietly asked Yang Letian, "Are you free tonight?"

Yang Letian was slightly taken aback, because he didn't know whether Lin Wan was speaking to him as the mayor or as his lover. However, after seeing the expression on her face, Yang Letian understood. Seeing that no one was around, he took a step closer to Lin Wan and whispered with a smile, "Sister Wan, you missed me again?"

Lin Wan looked at him with a smile in her eyes and whispered, "I told you, you're an unforgettable little man. I like you more and more. So, are you free tonight?"

"Hehe, really? How much do you like me?" Yang Letian asked with a grin.

Because it was a corner, and it was during working hours, most people were in their offices, so it was very quiet. Lin Wan then revealed her wanton side, smiling seductively as she leaned close to Yang Letian's ear and said, "I like you so much that just thinking about you makes me wet, hee hee!"

Yang Letian's heart skipped a beat. If they weren't at the company, he would definitely have hugged Lin Wan and made intimate contact. Now, he had to

settle for second best, gently touching her buttocks and giving them a light squeeze, laughing, "Sister Wan, I don't know if you'll be free tonight, but I'll try my best to make time. If I'm free, I'll call you, okay?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news," Lin Wan winked at Yang Letian.

When they arrived at the company entrance, Secretary Lu was already waiting for her by the car door. Yang Letian smiled and nodded to him, and Secretary Lu smiled back before quickly opening the door for Lin Wan to get in.

"Mayor Lin, take care!" Yang Letian waved to Lin Wan, but Lin Wan gave him a look that only Yang Letian could understand.

Back in his office, his colleagues surrounded him. One said, "How was it? How was it? Did General Manager Yu embarrass you?" Another said, "Manager Yang, you took the blame for us! We thank you!" They even pretended to wipe away tears.

"Alright, alright. Everyone, get back to work! Those who should be working hard aren't, and those who shouldn't are working incredibly hard," Yang Letian said, both amused and exasperated.

"Okay, get to work, or you might lose your bonus this month." The group dispersed.

Yang Letian was back to his busy work, not knowing how long he'd been working, when suddenly someone tapped lightly on his desk, followed by a familiar voice: "Hey! Busy man, wanna grab lunch together?"

Yang Letian looked up and saw Chen Jun standing before him. "Oh, what brings you here?" he exclaimed.

"Hehe, why can't I come?" Chen Jun plopped down on his desk, looking quite casual. Seeing this, his colleagues, who had been discussing things with him, wisely made excuses to go out for lunch and slipped away one by one. Soon, only Yang Letian and Chen Jun remained in the office.

"What? You want me to treat you again? I don't want to be the sucker all the time, hehe," Yang Letian joked.

"Tch, you should be happy to treat me. I'd rather not go if someone else invited me," Chen Jun said, swinging her fair legs as she sat on the desk. "

But can't you see I'm very busy right now? I don't have time to treat you to lunch," Yang Letian said, crossing his legs as well.

"Hmph, fine, I'm leaving, bye-bye." With that, Chen Jun jumped off her desk and ran out without looking back.

"Damn, she's angry already? That's too spoiled." Yang Letian hurriedly stood up from his chair, ran out of the office, and chased after Chen Jun.

At the elevator entrance, Yang Letian caught up with Chen Jun. She looked surprised and said, "Weren't you busy? What's wrong..."

"Hehe, I was just joking! Are you angry already? Okay, don't be angry. I'll treat you to lunch today, will you do me the honor?" Yang Letian said with a grin.

"Sure, Manager Yang is treating, how can I refuse? Where shall we go?" Chen Jun smiled slightly. Her smile still possessed a captivating power. Shallow dimples, a gentle and elegant nose, and sparkling eyes—she was truly a beautiful girl.

"You decide," Yang Letian replied.

After a moment's thought, Chen Jun said, "Come on, I'll take you to a nice place."

"Is it far from here?" Yang Letian asked.

"Not too far, not too close," Chen Jun said playfully, "But don't worry, this time I'll drive, you ride. I'll serve the boss for once."

"Okay, then I'll experience what it's like to be the boss." After Yang Letian finished speaking, they both laughed happily.

The car drove out of the city, through the coastal boulevard, past a dense coconut grove, and we arrived at Binhai South Park. We stopped in front of a small white building surrounded by flowers and lush greenery.

"We're here," Chen Jun said nimbly, parking the car in the parking lot in front of the building.

"Dan Yun Ge," Yang Letian said, getting out of the car and seeing the sign on the white wall.

"Yes, a famous Western restaurant."

"Why does it have such a poetic Chinese name?"

"Hey, this is China, of course it has to have a name with a Chinese flavor. Haven't you seen American and British ambassadors in China all have names like Zhang San or Li Si?" Chen Jun tilted her head slightly, her hair falling from her left shoulder, strands cascading down, partially obscuring her smiling face. Her dimples seemed magnified in the sunlight, brimming with playfulness and mischief. The green trees behind her, accentuated by her smile, seemed full of vitality.

Chen Jun, arm in arm with Yang Letian, led him into the spacious and brightly lit hall. Under the resplendent chandeliers, the elegant and noble decor, reminiscent of an opera stage, exuded a grand and luxurious atmosphere. Exquisite tables and chairs, elegant candlesticks—everywhere revealed the legacy of Parisian romance. The exquisite menu and luxurious selection of fine French wines allowed diners to fully appreciate the opulent, elegant, and romantic ambiance.

The restaurant was situated in a tranquil spot, hidden among flowers and greenery. Very Western, very welcoming, it felt as if it had escaped the dust of the world, allowing one to find peace and tranquility, completely abandoning the hustle and bustle of life, and savoring the beauty of life amidst the vastness of the sky and sea.

Having grown accustomed to the glitz and glamour of nightlife, this place, quiet and elegant, picturesque, set against the backdrop of the azure sea and sky, created a refined and charming atmosphere.

After ordering, Chen Jun professionally explained the details of Western dining etiquette to Yang Letian: no making noise from the body while eating, no leaving the table midway, and no smoking before coffee; avoid making noise by clattering cutlery; when putting down the knife and fork, place them in an "X" shape on the plate, with the blade facing you; if the knife and fork are placed together, it means you have finished eating. She also explained the complicated order of courses—soup, fish, meat, salad, dessert, fruit, and coffee; meat bones and fish bones that have been in your mouth should not be spat directly into the plate, but caught with a fork and gently placed on the plate; fruit pits should be spat into your palm before placing them on the plate; fish should not be flipped over to eat, but the bones should be removed with a knife and fork after eating the top layer; stir the coffee with a small spoon, but do not use it to drink the coffee…

These rules seemed natural to her. But for Yang Letian, with his carefree nature, this was a challenge. He couldn't remember how to place his knife and fork midway through the meal. However, for the sake of elegance, Yang Letian had no choice but to bite the bullet and go with the flow.
