Chapter 151: Chapter 151 The Simple Beauty Trap Lin Fan’s car entered the County Government just before noon. He naturally rushed to County Magistrate Luan’s office to report in and also received the agenda for the investment conference. According to the plan, attendees were to check into the hotel that afternoon, with the formal meeting scheduled for the following morning. City leaders would be attending and giving important speeches at the meeting. Later that evening, there would be a cultural performance and a welcome dinner, followed by several days of on-site inspections and tours. "Lin Fan, you are key among the younger generation for this meeting. I’m getting on in years, and my eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be. You must give me good counsel and keep a sharp lookout. I’ve already spoken to the director of the county office; you will be shouldering the main responsibility at this meeting. Make any necessary decisions and say what needs to be said. Your opinions are my opinions." County Magistrate Luan looked at Lin Fan with words that seemed complimentary but were layered with meaning. His selfish intentions were clear. If any mishaps occurred, and the city leaders blamed them, Lin Fan would take the fall. It was all too obvious that he simply wanted to study safely, and any mess that might happen would have nothing to do with him. "County Magistrate Luan, I am too young and may overlook some details. I will still need your guidance when the time comes." Lin Fan didn’t evade responsibility, just as Chen Jiayi had said, this was an excellent opportunity. Crisis always coexists with opportunity, and shirking responsibility now could affect his promotion. The intricacies of power dynamics and balancing interests were things he needed to grasp with particular care. "Don’t worry, I’ll say what needs to be said and what doesn’t. This is a great opportunity for you to grow, and you must seize it," Luan reassured. Hearing the subtext in Lin Fan’s words, County Magistrate Luan smiled with relief. The investment promotion work in Red Flag Town could be reported as a success or a failure. If done well, it promised impressive achievements, but a poor job might as well be the key to a jail cell. "Knock, knock, knock..." While they were talking, someone knocked on the office door. A shapely woman then walked in. In her thirties, with big wavy hair and dressed in a sexy hip-hugging dress, she outlined a graceful figure. Her heavily made-up face exuded a distinctive charm, and with every gesture, a flirtatious air became evident. Clack-clack went her high heels, and just a few steps revealed a worldliness in her swaying hips. "County Magistrate Luan, I am Zhang Tianle, the head of Longquan Investment Company. May I have a private word with you?" Zhang Tianle glanced at Lin Fan, who was sitting on the couch, but didn’t take him seriously. Instead, her greedy eyes fixed on County Magistrate Luan seated behind the desk, her gaze like that of a hunter spotting prey. Seeing this, Lin Fan quickly stood up, but before he could speak, County Magistrate Luan waved him to sit down and then asked Zhang Tianle, "Hello, how can I assist you?" "County Magistrate Luan, this isn’t my first time in Red Flag County. I’m unfamiliar with this place, so I’d like to have a private word with you about the details and arrangements of the investment conference. I hope for your support." With a smile, Zhang Tianle leaned forward, resting on the desk, and her loose neckline pointed straight at County Magistrate Luan. The deep valley between the snow-white peaks was obvious at a glance. "The conference agenda was handed to you at check-in. If you have any further questions, please inquire at the office with Director Lu. I’m quite busy at the moment and it’s inconvenient for me to attend to you." County Magistrate Luan wouldn’t fall for such an obvious honey trap so quickly. He quickly turned to Lin Fan and said, "Lin Fan, would you mind taking her to the office?" "Of course, County Magistrate Luan." Lin Fan stood, smiled at Zhang Tianle, and said, "Ms. Zhang, this way, please." "Alright, then I’ll trouble you, County Magistrate Luan. Here’s my card; please instruct me if you need anything." Zhang Tianle took out a business card and placed it on County Magistrate Luan’s desk. She left behind an ambiguous smile, clicked her high heels, and followed Lin Fan out, deliberately swinging her hips, making sure County Magistrate Luan noticed. "Little brother, please walk slower; it’s hard to keep up in high heels." As soon as they left the office, Zhang Tianle immediately reached for Lin Fan’s arm, pressing her voluptuous figure against his shoulder with the scent of her strong perfume permeating Lin Fan’s senses. "Alright, I’ll slow down." Lin Fan quickly shook off her hand but remained polite. "Little brother, you seem so close to the county magistrate, you must hold a high position here, right? I’m new to Red Flag County and not very familiar with it. Could you please be my tour guide?" Zhang Tianle leaned in again, deliberately pressing her softness against Lin Fan’s shoulder and cooing, the very picture of offering herself to him. "Sorry, but I work in Lotus Town. I’m here just to report on my work, and I’m not too familiar with the county either." No sooner had Lin Fan finished speaking than Zhang Tianle straightened up and stepped away from his shoulder, giving him a look of disdain, "Oh, you’re just from the town... I thought you were some kind of leader. You could’ve said so earlier; you’ve wasted my time."
