NOVPUBLu Yuanyang: "Wu Mei indeed underwent investigation by the Discipline Inspection Commission, however, there were no unlawful or disciplinary violations on her part, nor did she know about the things Dai Shouyi had done."
Chen Nan nodded slightly. Although his relationship with Wu Mei wasn’t very good, after all, they were like Guan and Bao who knew each other thoroughly.
Moreover, the procurement of the land in the west of the city was also directly related to Wu Mei.
If Wu Mei were to be arrested, he would feel regret.
Having regained his composure.
Chen Nan couldn’t help but say, "I owe Wu Mei a favor."
Lu Yuanyang smiled and said, "Wu Mei’s capabilities are well recognized by everyone at the city committee compound. Even though Dai Shouyi has fallen, she can still be heavily utilized, and Mr. Chen can rest assured about this."
"Well then, I won’t disturb Secretary Lu any longer, I take my leave!" Chen Nan stood up to take his leave and, accompanied by Li Yao, left the office building, driving away from the city committee compound in his newly purchased Mercedes-Benz luxury car.
"Is that Chen Nan?" Next to a window in the archives room, Wu Mei stood quietly, looking rather haggard.
Since Dai Shouyi’s arrest, her fate had been completely rewritten.
From the previously high-ranking principal secretary, she had become a street rat in everyone’s eyes.
Even after she was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation and then released, the way those people looked at her was still full of disdain and disgust.
Then...
She was assigned to the archives room, becoming an unnoticed clerical worker.
This was in stark contrast to her former role as the spirited and glamorous principal secretary.
The severe disparity gave her an almost suffocating illusion.
Thud thud!
Just then.
A knocking sound interrupted Wu Mei’s thoughts; she took a deep breath and said softly, "Come in!"
Li Yao pushed the door open and smiled, "Secretary Wu, Secretary Lu wants to see you, please come with me!"
Although Wu Mei did not know why Secretary Lu wanted to see her, she still followed Li Yao to Lu Yuanyang’s office and respectfully called out, "Secretary Lu." 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Lu Yuanyang looked at Wu Mei with a smiling face and said softly, "Comrade Wu, would you like to come work by my side?"
Wu Mei’s pupils trembled violently, she looked at Lu Yuanyang in disbelief, almost thinking she had hallucinated, clearly not expecting Lu Yuanyang to actually ask her to come work by his side.
Lu Yuanyang slightly exasperatedly sighed and said, "You also know about the chaotic situation in Jizhou’s official circles. I’ve been overwhelmed by these issues, and since you were previously a principal secretary, I figure you could help alleviate some of my pressure."
"But I don’t know what Comrade Wu thinks?"
Wu Mei, struggling to control her excitement, said, "Secretary Lu, please be assured, I will work hard and not let you down."
Lu Yuanyang showed a relieved smile, then looked at Li Yao: "Li, from now on, you and Comrade Wu will work together; remember to learn from her well."
Li Yao, with a respectful face: "Yes!" he said, making a welcoming gesture and leading Wu Mei back to her former office, the one that had been exclusively hers.
"Secretary Wu, please give me your guidance in the future," Li Yao said amiably.
Wu Mei thought of the scene she had seen earlier at the window, hesitated, and couldn’t help but ask, "Secretary Li, may I presumptuously inquire if my reinstatement by Secretary Lu has anything to do with Chen Nan?"
She had clearly seen Li Yao leaving the building with Chen Nan, and Li Yao had even respectfully opened the door of Chen Nan’s car.
Li Yao was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Secretary Wu’s reinstatement by Secretary Lu is due to your own abilities, unrelated to Mr. Chen."
"I understand," Wu Mei said, her emotions mixed. Although she did not get the answer she wanted from Li Yao’s mouth, Li Yao’s mention of Mr. Chen revealed too much information.
Obviously.
The reason she could return to this office was fundamentally because of Chen Nan.
Thinking this,
she picked up her phone and sent Chen Nan a text message, with only the words "Thank you."
------
Meanwhile.
Chen Nan drove back to "Splendid Prospects".
Since Lu Anran’s apartment came with a dedicated parking spot, he didn’t need to look around for one.
After parking the car, he turned around and grinned, finding his surroundings more and more appealing.
Afterwards.
He headed to the elevator lobby to wait.
What caught his eye was a strikingly beautiful woman in her thirties, tall, fair-skinned, with voluptuous waves in her hair.
Fiery red lips.
The way she moved exuded the aura of a mature woman.
She was wearing a white low-cut T-shirt, revealing the snowy white curves of her cleavage and an exaggerated neckline, creating a bold visual impact that looked soft and supple.
Beneath that was a gray body-hugging skirt that showed off her sexy rounded buttocks and elegant figure.
Especially those long, slender legs, which conjured up myriad fantasies.
At the moment their eyes met, Chen Nan nodded with a smile as a way of greeting.
Living in the same apartment block.
He had seen this stunning woman before, but though they had never spoken, he knew she was the famously called "The Oyster Beauty".
She would go out every night to set up a stall, enduring the hardships of working outdoors.
"I don’t know what they’re doing upstairs, I’ve been waiting for three minutes, and the elevator is still stuck on the fifteenth floor!" Wang Churan spoke in a gentle yet helpless tone.
Chen Nan casually responded, "They must be moving something," as he took out his phone to kill time and started texting Wu Mei.
But just then.
A moan-like sound escaped from the lips of the exquisite wife next to him.
Then, she clamped her legs together and instinctively reached out to steady herself against the wall, a pained expression crossing her face.
Seeing this.
Chen Nan furrowed his brow and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Wang Churan forced a smile, her voice sounding rushed, "I’m... I’m fine." As she spoke, she clamped her legs together even more tightly, her expression turning from pain to allure, her eyes flashing with a mix of shame and anger.
Chen Nan looked puzzled. Didn’t she seem fine?
It was clear she was enduring some kind of torment!
However, since they weren’t acquainted, he didn’t ask further and continued focusing on his phone.
Yet.
The sounds emerging from Wang Churan’s mouth had now turned into soft gasps, her eyes clouded with a dazed look.
Just then.
The elevator reached the basement level.
Wang Churan, struggling, leaned on the elevator door as she entered the cabin and pressed clumsily for the tenth floor, her face flushing.
Chen Nan followed her in, and just as the elevator doors were closing, Wang Churan screamed and collapsed into his arms, her face burning red, her eyes heavy with desire, her panting growing louder.
"Beautiful lady, what’s happening to you?" With the beauty in his arms, Chen Nan also felt his throat go dry.
Blushing as she gasped, Wang Churan said, "That bastard activated the remote button."
Confused, Chen Nan asked, "What do you mean?"
