Liu Zhizhong was so pissed when he heard it.

That damn Dog Du, really smooth talker, intending to steal my girl?

Damn it, I haven't even had a bite, and you're already drooling over her?

Alas, blame it on Luo Yanling being too enchantingly beautiful, working in the City Committee Courtyard, always swaying in front of Old Du, how could he not be tempted, damn...

Meanwhile, Luo Yanling let out a sigh that was soul-stirring, making Du Yuesheng's spine tingle, as he fantasized about her comfort when she moaned in bed.

Damn, Ma Xudong crashed and burned, and his woman is left for me to enjoy!

Just like that, Luo Yanling sighed once and fell silent.

If this had happened in the past when she was still a director's secretary, she would have been thrilled.

But now, she was worried!

She wasn't clueless about what the man was up to, which pained her.

Because in her heart, there was only Brother Zhizhong, and no room for another man.

Not to mention Du Yuesheng, that old lecher, dark and greasy, and with smoke-stained teeth—who could stand that?

The thought of such a man holding her, kissing her, and being intimate disgusted her to the point of vomiting!

In an instant, she felt so miserable she almost cried.

But Du Yuesheng said gently, "Xiao Luo, what's wrong? Why aren't you speaking? Are you too happy to speak?"

Calling him gentle would be misleading; his raspy voice only made him sound more sleazy. Luo Yanling got goosebumps.

All she could say was, "Secretary Du, what merits do I have? I really can't handle such a job! Why don't you keep Director Liu instead, he's much more competent than me. Besides, Secretary Ma already signed off on my external transfer and demotion... please, let's just drop it, okay?"

Liu Zhizhong was secretly satisfied.

Old Du, look at my woman. She won't succumb to you.

Du Yuesheng sneered inwardly. I've craved you for years; how can I feel good without getting a taste?

There and then, he still spoke with that lecherous gentleness, "Xiao Luo, don't be like that! I've seen your capabilities over these years, and you're definitely qualified for the directorial job. You're familiar with the work environment here, you'd pick it up very quickly! Comrade, you must be confident in your career! Come back and report for duty, I trust you immensely. Trust Old Du, I can offer you more opportunities for growth, like... heh heh..."

That old black dog, the way he spoke, changing his tone and vocabulary, was clearly expressing his lascivious desires.

"Secretary Du, I really can't! Besides, Secretary Ma agreed already..."

"Ah…" Du Yuesheng sighed, "Xiao Luo, you need to see the big picture here. Secretary Ma has been placed under investigation, he'll be imprisoned soon, a criminal of the Party and the people. Can you really rely on the decisions of a criminal?"

That was a hard-hitting, logical argument that left Luo Yanling speechless.

Pitiful Xiao Luo muttered 'Secretary Du' without knowing what else to say, feeling so helpless!

Ma Xudong had slept with her, and now Du Yuesheng wanted her too.

A small woman in the world of officialdom—it's so tough, so tough...

Du Yuesheng immediately continued persuasively and powerfully, "Alright, Xiao Luo, be obedient, I appreciate you. Having you as my secretary makes me feel at ease. Come back, I won't mistreat you. If you have any requests, just say so!"

Luo Yanling felt goosebumps all over, unable to stand it any longer, tears welled up, "Secretary Du, I want to resign, I don't want to do this anymore, is that okay?"

She had truly made up her mind!

Ever since meeting Liu Zhizhong, she would never again sell her body and soul for fame and wealth. She belonged to Liu Zhizhong; she was certain of it!

Du Yuesheng suddenly lost his cool, banging on the table, "Xiao Luo, resigning, are you sure about that?"

In his heart: Damn it, can't I play you? A vixen like you, it's your honor that I want to sleep with you, and you're playing the resignation card?

Luo Yanling was naive yet resolute, "Yes, Secretary Du, I've thought it through. I'll write my resignation letter in electronic form and send it to HR soon."

Liu Zhizhong inwardly cheered, "My woman, so faithful, well done!"

Du Yuesheng didn't expect Luo Yanling to respond like that and his anger peaked again, he snorted coldly, "Xiao Luo, I like your naivety! Are you really taking this seriously, writing a resignation letter?"

Luo Yanling helplessly said, "What else can I do?"

"Sigh, whether others know about your thing with Ma Xudong, I don't know, but I know it myself. Although, indeed, I don't have direct evidence, I could mention it to Ma Xudong's investigation team, and when they check into it, you probably won't be able to withstand it, heh heh..."

"Ah? Secretary Du, can't you just let me go? Wuu wuu wuu..."

Luo Yanling was terrified, crying out loud, so dismal...
