25: Chapter 25: Devouring the Beautiful Boss!

Twenty million in benefits, plus the choice of being reassigned to another region or getting demoted to a village to serve as a village head.

Such terms were more than just attractive; for Xu Qianli, they were like a pie falling from the sky.

Faced with such benefits, Xu Qianli didn’t hesitate for even a second before immediately responding, “I’m not interested in any of these; you might as well take them back!”

Liang Yueru was somewhat surprised by this response.

It was not that she was surprised by Xu Qianli’s refusal, but rather that she was surprised by his decisiveness in doing so.

After all, such perks were hard for anyone to resist.

Xu Qianli, however, rejected them outright without a second’s delay, which was unexpected for her.

“Director Xu, are you serious?”

“Twenty million in benefits, in addition to the choice of an equal-level transfer to another place or being demoted to the grassroots level as a village head with real authority, and you’re rejecting it without a second thought?”

“You should be well aware of your current situation; you’re already at loggerheads with Zhang Kuisan.”

“The County Magistrate position cannot remain vacant for long; someone will soon fill it.

Zhang Kuisan is the most probable candidate, and at that time, you will have to vacate your two current positions for newcomers.”

“Although you’ll still have your department-level cadre title, without a position, even if Zhang Kuisan doesn’t trouble you, what can you accomplish?”

“You’re still young.

Do you really want to waste your prime years?”

“If I were you, I’d choose to be reassigned elsewhere or to be demoted to a village to serve as the village head with authority.

That would be the perfect opportunity to display your ambitions and is undoubtedly the best choice.”

Liang Yueru keenly urged Xu Qianli.

Making a living off persuading others to take someone’s money in exchange for solving their problems was her way of advancing in the world.

Since she was tasked by Zhang Kuisan, she naturally aimed to accomplish it well.

Xu Qianli said, “There’s no need to persuade me, Liang.

I currently have no plans of being reassigned or demoted.

As for the dirty money offered by Zhang Kuisan, I’m even less interested in taking it.

Please take all this back to him.”

Rejected once again, Liang Yueru shook her head slightly.

“You, you really are incorrigible.”

“Such a personality can easily be disadvantageous for you in officialdom.”

“There’s a saying in officialdom, don’t you know it?

‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’ You should understand the deeper meaning.”

Xu Qianli said, “That saying can also be put in another way: ‘If you lie down with dogs, you’ll get up with fleas!’ I, Xu Qianli, might not be a saint, but I have no interest in degenerating to associate with the likes of Zhang Kuisan.

Let’s put an end to this matter; there’s no need to mention it again, as I will not change my mind.

As for you, Liang, when you mentioned being my girlfriend earlier, were you serious?”

Liang Yueru lifted her head haughtily, teasingly said, “What if I say I was serious?”

“Then I won’t hold back!”

With that, Xu Qianli kissed Liang Yueru’s red lips, and as she was caught off guard, he easily pried open her mouth.

Her inexperienced reaction, combined with the way her body tensed up due to nervousness, convinced Xu Qianli that she was indeed inexperienced, and maybe she was telling the truth when she said she was a virgin.

Liang Yueru tried to push him away, but she couldn’t.

Pretty soon, her head was spinning from his kisses, and without noticing, her red dress had been lifted to her waist.

The next moment, a sharp pain hit her, and Liang Yueru clung tightly to Xu Qianli’s neck.

This bastard, he really made a move on her, becoming her first man.

He was absolutely wicked, utterly shameless!

Soon, Liang Yueru couldn’t concentrate on anything else, as Xu Qianli didn’t give her the time to think of anything else—the office quickly filled with noises that made one’s face flush and heart race.

…

After what felt like an eternity, Liang Yueru managed to push Xu Qianli away, and with a mix of shame and anger, glared at him.

“You’re going to kill me, you bastard!

It’s one thing to take advantage of me, but to finish like that—what if I get pregnant?”

Counting the days, it seemed like today was her risky period.

Liang Yueru’s heart raced with panic.

Could it be that she was about to become a mother?

Xu Qianli said with a mischievous smile, “Aren’t you my girlfriend?

If you get pregnant, the worst case is I’ll just marry you.

Or is it that you, the famous beauty and big boss of Jiang City, look down on a minor civil servant like me?”

“Pah, not only are you the youngest department-level cadre in Jiang City, but you also have Zhang Kuisan eating out of your hand, and you even wield some influence over all the staff the old County Magistrate left behind.

You have some nerve calling yourself a minor civil servant!”

Liang Yueru mocked and teased as she busied herself with putting on her dress.

Her body was uncomfortable all over, especially a certain part that hurt a lot.

She really regretted it; if she had known, she wouldn’t have dressed so attractively to seduce Xu Qianli.

She had two reasons for seeking out Xu Qianli.

The first was to act as a go-between for Zhang Kuisan.

The second?

Having heard about her best friend’s involvement with Xu Qianli, she became curious about whether he was as good as her friend had claimed.

She had wanted to test him on purpose.

Who knew that the young man was so weak to temptation and had devoured her so quickly, bullying her to no end just before.

She herself was to blame, too.

After all the years she’d spent in Jiang City and all the scenes she’d witnessed, how did she fall for this guy’s tricks?

But regret was useless now.

What had happened had happened; she needed to think of a way to deal with it.

Dressed and covering her enticing body, Liang Yueru sat cross-legged on the office desk, pulled out a ladies’ cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

As she exhaled the smoke, she had an idea.

She pointed at Xu Qianli with her cigarette and then at herself.

“We are not suitable for each other!”

“Don’t think that just because you’ve slept with me, I will become your woman or even marry you.

Don’t get your hopes up.”

“Let’s just pretend nothing happened just now.

I have to go.

I have things to do.”

She dropped that line and was ready to leave.

But as she took two steps, pain shot through her, eliciting an involuntary cry of pain, and she shot Xu Qianli an angry glare.

“You bastard, you knew very well I was a virgin, yet you showed no tenderness whatsoever during the act.

No matter how much I cried out in pain, you didn’t stop, like a wild bull, a complete scumbag.”

“Humph!

I’ll never bother with you again!”

Having said her piece, Liang Yueru didn’t linger.

Twisting her slim waist and ample hips, she strode off on her long legs, dragging her weary body away hastily.

No matter how you looked at it, her encounter with Xu Qianli had been a big loss for her.

Humph, that stinky boy got the better of her.

Let’s see what kind of waves he can make in the bureaucratic circles of Jiang City.

Watching the gorgeous woman leave, Xu Qianli cracked a slight smile, “It was you who dolled yourself up and threw yourself at me.

You’ve got nobody else to blame.”

Of course, that she was a virgin did come as a surprise.

Who would have guessed that Jiang City’s famously beautiful boss would still be a virgin?

And in the end, Xu Qianli was the one who got lucky.

No matter how you sliced it, he had come out ahead today.

Just as Liang Yueru had left, a woman entered Xu Qianli’s office—the stunning Deputy County Magistrate Sun Yan hurried over.

“Sister Sun, what brings you here?” Xu Qianli went to greet her.

“Why am I here?

I should be asking you.

What did that vixen Liang Yueru want with you, spending so much time in your office?”

“There isn’t something going on between you two, is there?”

“Let me tell you, her reputation in Jiang City isn’t that great.

You really should stay away from her, else you might suffer negative consequences, even affecting your future career.”

Sun Yan babbled on, intentionally reminding Xu Qianli to keep his distance from Liang Yueru.

As she spoke, she suddenly sensed something amiss, sniffed the air, and said, “How odd, why is there a strange smell in your room?”
