In the evening, Li Lin came to Yixin Teahouse as promised.

The night enveloped the city. The streets outside the teahouse were bustling with traffic, while inside the teahouse there was a quiet atmosphere.

Li Lin walked into the agreed private room with steady steps.

At this moment, Chen Shuping was waiting anxiously in the private room.

She kept rubbing her hands, looking towards the door from time to time, her heart full of anxiety and anticipation.

As soon as she saw Li Lin coming in, she stood up excitedly to greet him as if she had seen a savior.

"Xiaolin, thank you for coming to see me..." Chen Shuping said gratefully, her eyes full of anticipation.

Her voice trembled slightly, as if this was her last straw.

She knew that if there was one person who could persuade Qian Lingyun, that person must be Li Lin!

But she placed all her hopes on her former secretary Qian Lingyun.

"Please sit down." Li Lin said indifferently.

His expression was serious and he looked at Chen Shuping with cold eyes.

Chen Shuping's passionate mood was instantly extinguished by Li Lin's cold attitude.

Her smile froze on her face and she sat down again awkwardly, then hurriedly took the initiative to boil water and make tea, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"As far as I know, you have nothing to do with Mayor Qian anymore. Mayor Qian left you his savings over the years, which is enough for you to buy an apartment in the provincial capital and start a new life. Why do you still want to pester Mayor Qian?"

Li Lin had no interest in drinking tea, and looked at Chen Shuping coldly, asking expressionlessly. His voice was low and powerful, full of questioning.

Chen Shuping paused while brewing tea, bit her lips, and suddenly sneered, saying, "I have been with Lao Qian for more than ten years. Although I didn't give birth to any children for him, I dedicated the best years of my life to him. Even if we get divorced, he wants to send me away with just a house. Would you be willing to do that if it were you?"

Chen Shuping's eyes were filled with resentment and resentment, and her voice rose a few degrees, as if she was looking for an excuse for her greed.

"Then what else do you want?" Li Lin asked calmly, crossing his arms.

His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see through Chen Shuping's heart.

Chen Shuping looked at Li Lin and smiled faintly, a smile that was shameless and despicable...

She said casually, "Old Qian is now the mayor of Pingyang, but I know that he doesn't have much money except for his monthly salary, so I won't make it difficult for him with money."

Chen Shuping's tone seems reasonable, but it actually contains a mystery.

Li Lin remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

Chen Shuping continued, "My current monthly salary is less than 10,000 yuan, which is not enough to support my normal life in a city like the provincial capital where per capita consumption is huge."

There was a hint of grievance and helplessness in her voice, trying to arouse Li Lin's sympathy.

Li Lin remained calm and smiled secretly in his heart.

The prices in the provincial capital are indeed high, but not so high that you cannot survive on a monthly income of 10,000 yuan.

If Chen Shuping didn't have any special expenses, such as high-end cosmetics, clothes, bags... or even playing cards.

The ten thousand yuan was enough for her daily expenses, and there was even some surplus.

Since they were divorced, she still wanted Qian Lingyun to continue supporting her? She was just dreaming!

Chen Shuping went on to say, "My cousin owns a decoration company. I want him to go to Pingyang and work with Lao Qian. We can split the money we earn 50-50. This way, Lao Qian won't have to pay for me anymore. I can be self-reliant and won't bother him anymore."

There was a greedy gleam in her eyes, as if she had seen piles of money waving at her.

You are really good at calculating!

If she succeeds, Qian Lingyun will be tied up by her and will never be able to break free in this life.

In other words, if the issue of Chen Shuping is not dealt with, she will sooner or later become a stumbling block in Qian Lingyun's path to promotion!

Li Lin smiled, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, "I can't make the decision on this matter. It's useless for you to tell me. I'm just a section-level cadre in Weishui Township. I can't meet Mayor Qian just because I want to."

Li Lin tried to make Chen Shuping understand that he did not have that much power and influence.

Chen Shuping chuckled and said, "Don't pretend. Over the years, I have never seen Lao Qian bring any colleagues home, let alone drink with his subordinates at home. You may not know that in Lao Qian's mind, you are not just a subordinate. Sometimes when he comes home after drinking too much, he will talk to me about how outstanding you are and how great it would be if his son grew up to be like you..."

Oh? Li Lin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Mayor Qian to think so highly of him.

But he still refused to fall for it and continued to refuse, trying his best to irritate Chen Shuping to see what cards she had in her hand.

"You have slept with Mayor Qian for so many years. Don't you know in your heart that Mayor Qian is the kind of person who will do anything to benefit his people?

If you just want some money, I can ask Mayor Qian for you, but I won't talk about using power for personal gain, and Mayor Qian won't do it, so you'd better give up." Li Lin's tone was firm, without any concessions.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuping's face immediately turned cold, her eyes became fierce, and she said viciously, "Humph, do you need to explain to me what kind of person he is? I know every hair on his body clearly. Because of this, he must help me with this matter, otherwise no one will be able to get away with it if we tear our faces apart!"

Chen Shuping had lost her patience and her threats were laid out plainly on the table.

"Oh? You are too self-righteous. Do you think that you can influence Mayor Qian just by going to the city government? The provincial leaders are not fools. They will see clearly and tell who is right and who is wrong!" Li Lin frowned and said in a stern tone.
