Chapter 404: Chapter 403, Are You Trying to Take Advantage of Me? Bai Lu was full of excitement. She knew. She had bet correctly. Without further thought, she quickly said, "Master Zhang, please wait a moment, I’ll call Xu Wendong over right away!" Sun Zhaoqiang, who was standing by, also had a subtle and intriguing smile on his face. The reason he dared to stand up and bring down Wang Zhengjun was not just because he had evidence of Wang’s crimes. After all, he was two years away from retirement, and even toppling Wang wouldn’t change much, and might even worsen his situation. The reason he did it was the same as Bai Lu’s. He wanted to take a gamble! Gamble that the murder in broad daylight was premeditated, and everything he did was to address the corruption in Lianyun County Officialdom. If that was the case, he still had a chance to advance further. After all, if he could enter the Donghai City Officialdom, he would extend his service by five more years before retirement. Facts proved that he bet correctly too. Xu Wendong was not an ordinary person, otherwise Zhang Tianlong wouldn’t have praised his proposal so highly. Xu Wendong??? Zhang Tianlong displayed a look of incredulity, clearly not expecting to hear this name in Lianyun County, over six hundred kilometers from Qingyuan. After all, this was his lifesaver, had he not met Xu Wendong at South Lake in Qingyuan County back then, he would surely have died there. Upon another thought, he understood. Under the heavens, who else but Xu Wendong could come up with such a simplistic and profound solution? "Master Zhang, my driver seems to have gone to the bathroom, and he’s not picking up his phone." Bai Lu looked apologetic. She had intended to call Xu Wendong but didn’t see him, and he wasn’t answering his phone either. "No worries!" Zhang Tianlong was previously guessing if it was that guy, and now it seemed it was indeed him from Qingyuan County. The reason he kept himself hidden was probably because he didn’t want their relationship to be public. It’s just unknown why this guy came to the Lianyun County Officialdom and became a driver? Just then. He received a text from Xu Wendong, "Let’s not meet for now. I’ll treat you to lunch at noon, and we can talk then!" Zhang Tianlong replied with a simple "Okay." "Mr. Zhang, would you be able to stay and become the design director of the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Plaza?" Liu Junjiang invited warmly. Even though there was a way to resolve the feng shui situation, it was not an ordinary construction project. Having Zhang Tianlong as the design director would put him more at ease. As for Xu Wendong... Even though this idea was proposed by him, in Liu Junjiang’s mind it was just a coincidence. After all, anyone could talk about the Yin Yang Eight Trigrams. He didn’t believe that a mere driver’s attainments and understanding of feng shui could surpass Zhang Tianlong. "Since Secretary Liu has extended such a gracious invitation, I shall stay and do what I can for the people of Lianyun County!" Zhang Tianlong’s face showed no expression, but he was secretly delighted. Although the method to change the feng shui of Lianyun County wasn’t his, becoming the design director wouldn’t be a bad thing for him. Of course. There’s also the most important thing, which is that Xu Wendong seemed unwilling to involve himself in feng shui matters. That’s exactly why he agreed to stay. After all, if Xu Wendong wanted to involve himself in these matters, there wouldn’t be any place for him to be useful! Just like that. With everyone in good spirits, they left the viewing platform, and Zhang Tianlong was invited to the county government to discuss relevant matters with the leaders of Lianyun County and the Urban Construction Bureau. As for Xu Wendong, he came out of a distant public restroom, spiritedly looking around to find only Bai Lu left at the viewing platform, and couldn’t help but say, "Eh, where did everyone go?" Bai Lu frowned, "Why didn’t you answer your phone just now?" Xu Wendong quickly pulled out his phone and responded, "I’m sorry, Chief Bai, I had set it to silent. I promise that a mistake like this won’t happen again." "Let’s head back to the Bureau." Bai Lu, wearing high heels, walked toward the parking lot. Xu Wendong immediately followed and drove away. "Who exactly are you?" Bai Lu broke the silence. Although she had bet correctly. She still wanted to know the background of Xu Wendong. Moreover, she had a premonition that Xu Wendong was definitely not an ordinary person. "I’m your driver, of course!" Xu Wendong felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Although he wanted to keep a low profile, one could hardly remain low-key in a life that’s inherently high-profile. A faint bitter smile appeared on the corners of Bai Lu’s mouth. She was no longer the naive young girl she once was. She didn’t believe Xu Wendong’s words at all. However, she couldn’t be bothered to question further, although she didn’t know who Xu Wendong was, one thing was clear: Xu Wendong had indeed helped her a lot. "Chief Bai, what is Liu Yongjun’s influence and reputation like in Donghai City?" Xu Wendong asked suddenly. He hadn’t forgotten his original intention of entering officialdom. The first reason was to do some real work for the common people. The second was to remove Liu Yongjun, a bane to society. After all, Liu Yongjun was the true mastermind behind the substitution of Nie Xiaoyu and others’ achievements. However, given his current capabilities, he wasn’t yet strong enough to bring him down. Bai Lu said, "Liu Yongjun was transferred to Donghai City two years ago and is now holding the highest position in the political and legal system, a position of great power. If nothing unexpected happens, he might become the Donghai City Party Secretary in a year." Xu Wendong’s heart skipped a beat. If Liu Yongjun really became the Party Secretary of Donghai City, he would be undeniably at the level of a high-ranking official, making it difficult to move against him. So, he’d have to bring down Liu Yongjun within this year. Soon, they returned to the Investment Promotion Bureau. After Bai Lu got off the car, she said, "My neck feels a bit uncomfortable, come upstairs and give me a massage!" "Okay." Faced with this small request from his leader, Xu Wendong naturally couldn’t refuse and followed her to the second-floor office. Compared to the cold outside, the office was noticeably warmer. Bai Lu also took off her suit jacket, wearing a fleece-lined white shirt underneath, yet it couldn’t conceal her ample figure. She quietly sat on the stool, while Xu Wendong stood behind her, placing his hands gently on her shoulders, and began to massage them gently. However. From Xu Wendong’s perspective, the scene before him was somewhat heart-racing and imagination-provoking. After all, Bai Lu was very voluptuous. Even though she was wearing a fleece-lined white shirt, her abundant bust strained against it, leaving the top button unfastened, revealing a gap. Through the gap, he could see the roundness and fairness within. That deep cleavage was like an abyss. "Softer!" Just as Xu Wendong had begun the massage, Bai Lu suddenly emitted a slightly pained moan, making Xu Wendong’s mind wander for a moment. Xu Wendong awkwardly said, "Chief Bai, the reason your shoulders hurt is due to the strain from prolonged sitting, and it’s quite severe." "However, it’s not a big problem. Apart from the initial pain, the discomfort will soon go away." Bai Lu displayed an incredulous expression. Was he talking about her shoulder problem? "Xu Wendong, do you really know how to massage? Why does it hurt all over when you press?" Bai Lu’s face showed a hint of pain, as she felt uncomfortable all over. Xu Wendong looked frustrated, "Chief Bai, you can’t blame me. It’s mainly due to your spinal strain. How about this, why don’t you lie on the sofa, and I’ll give you a full massage?" Bai Lu turned to look at him, her eyes flashing with a hint of caution, "You’re not trying to take advantage of me, are you?"
