Officialdom: After My Demotion, My Powerful Background Was Exposed

When his superior retired, Li Lin, as his secretary, was implicated and demoted to an indefinite secondment as deputy township head in a remote rural town.

With no backing, Li Lin's polit...

Chapter 18 Peng Yutao's Arrangement

The next morning, Li Lan woke up with a hangover headache.

She lay in bed, rubbing her temple with one hand. No matter how hard she tried to recall, there were always a few missing memories in her mind.

For example, how did she get back to the hotel?

I only remember that after leaving the hotel, I was with Li Lin the whole time...

She lifted the quilt and prepared to get up, but suddenly she saw her naked body and was shocked!

Where are my clothes? Who helped me take them off? And they were taken off so cleanly!

She was confused, shocked, and panicked...

Could it be Li Lin?

She nervously grabbed a corner of the quilt and reached her other hand into the quilt to feel around.

Phew~

Everything was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but blame Li Lin for stripping her so cleanly...

She put on her bathrobe and walked into the bathroom. When she saw her underwear hanging neatly there, her cheeks suddenly felt hot.

Could it be...Is that what happened to me? ...That's why he helped me wash my underwear?

A feeling of shame suddenly surged into my heart.

She took a bath and cleaned every part of herself.

She took out a new set of underwear from the suitcase, red and very bright, and put it on.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Then came Zhang Tiantian's sweet voice, "Minister, are you awake? It's time for breakfast."

"Hold on."

Li Lan agreed while putting on her dress and calmly opened the door.

"Minister, you were drunk last night and I thought you wouldn't be able to get up." Tiantian said with a smile.

Li Lan was stunned and looked at Tiantian in confusion. How did she know that he was drunk last night?

So I asked her tentatively, "Was I very drunk last night?"

"Yeah." Zhang Tiantian nodded without hesitation, "It was a handsome guy who carried you upstairs."

"You mean, Li Lin?"

"Yes, it was Mayor Li. He was very responsible and carried you to the bed before letting go."

Always...carry him to the bed? Li Lan felt shy and asked with a red face, "What about my clothes? Is it his too?"

Tiantian shook her head. "He sent you to bed and left. I was the one who took off your clothes..."

Huh? Li Lan was stunned when he heard this, feeling mixed emotions, not knowing whether to be happy or unhappy.

"Minister? What's wrong with you? Shouldn't I do this?" Tiantian asked innocently.

"It's okay, thank you. So you helped wash my underwear too?"

This girl is so clever, why would she do such a thing? It's hard to figure out.

"That..." Tiantian was too shy to speak, but seeing Li Lan's puzzled expression, she had to bite the bullet and said, "When I was helping you take off your clothes, I found that they were dirty, so I took the initiative..."

Li Lan's mind went blank for a moment. After she reacted, she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. How could such a thing be seen by this girl? She hurriedly explained, "Oh, maybe I was careless when I went to the toilet..."

"Yeah, I think so too." Tiantian immediately responded.

How do you think that? Li Lan was stunned, and his face was burning with fever.

"Don't talk nonsense when you get out."

"knew."

...

Pingyang Municipal Party Committee Office Building, Peng Yutao’s office.

"Secretary, this is what happened last night."

"Because of a personal grudge between He Tianming and Li Lin, the two sides had a big fight in front of the Dongsheng Hotel."

"Fortunately, I arrived in time and stopped the conflict, but..."

"But Li Lin refused to listen and, relying on Minister Li's support, beat He Tianming into the hospital."

"Now, Vice Minister He keeps calling me and asking me how to deal with this matter."

"He also threatened that if his son was not given a reasonable explanation, he would handle the matter himself."

Wei Haiyang spoke in a serious and eloquent manner.

But Peng Yutao was experienced enough to hear that there was exaggeration and exaggeration in the words.

But He Tianming was indeed beaten into the hospital by Li Lin, this is an irrefutable fact!

He had a serious look on his face, his brows slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of anger on his face.

"He Tianming, this little bastard, has been causing a lot of trouble in Pingyang by relying on the power of his father He Shuping."

"This time, he even dared to offend the distinguished guest of the city government! I think he is tired of living!"

"If Li Lan investigates, not only him, but even his father will be in trouble!"

"And you're still asking the municipal party committee for an explanation?"

"Fuck! You're just causing trouble for me..."

Peng Yutao cursed in annoyance.

"Secretary, how do you think I should respond to him about this matter?" Wei Haiyang had a barely perceptible smile on his face.

Peng Yutao lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "Don't show up! Let Minister Lin tell He Shuping to explain the pros and cons to him, and let this matter go!"

"Will he let it go? After all, his son He Tianming is still in the hospital, and I heard that he was seriously injured..." Wei Haiyang said calmly. He knew the methods of the local powerful people too well. They were definitely not the kind of people who would easily let things go!

"Then what does he want to do? Send someone to beat Li Lin up? What's the difference between that and slapping Li Lan in the face? Tell him clearly that if he doesn't want to be the deputy minister anymore, you can let him do whatever he wants!" Peng Yutao slammed the table and said angrily.

"Okay, I'll go find Minister Lin and ask him to tell Deputy Minister He." Wei Haiyang suddenly remembered something else and continued, "Secretary, there's another person, Bai Jie from the Municipal Government Office. She was also involved in yesterday's incident and was slapped by Minister Li."
