"Scared!" Lin Chuan nodded, saying, "I'm afraid of disappointing my friends, and I'm afraid of my mother worrying about me... Of course, I also let you down with your kindness towards me."

Tang Yumeng suddenly became stunned, feeling quite emotional inside. If Tang Hao were still alive, he would probably be about the same age as Lin Chuan. The two of them share such similar traits, both so forthright, cheerful, sunny, and handsome. It's just a pity... Thinking of this, Tang Yumeng felt a wave of sorrow, and tears were about to flow.

"Forget it." Tang Yumeng's heart softened, she put down the phone, and said, "I won't hold you accountable anymore."

"Really?" Lin Chuan looked at Tang Yumeng joyfully.

"Yes." Tang Yumeng nodded.

"That's great." Lin Chuan was immediately overjoyed, saying, "Sister, I knew you are a good person. Haha. But, you are such a good woman, why... why would you..."

"Want what?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"Why…" Lin Chuan's face looked a bit embarrassed, and he whispered, "Why would you want to be a mistress for those officials?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yumeng's beautiful eyes widened in shock, this bastard, actually thinking she's the city secretary's mistress?

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tang Yumeng exclaimed in astonishment.

"Isn't it true?" Lin Chuan sighed, saying, "You say in today's society, women are so realistic, always looking towards money, sacrificing their bodies, sacrificing their precious youth. Alas..."

Bang bang bang...

At this moment, there was a knocking sound from outside.

"Come in!" Tang Yumeng immediately said.

A beautiful woman, carrying a stack of documents, walked in, saying respectfully, "Secretary Tang, this is the document you requested. It includes all the information about plot number 270!"

"Okay, just put it down." Tang Yumeng nodded.

"Yes!" The woman nodded, placed the documents on the desk, and then respectfully withdrew.

At this moment, Lin Chuan's eyes widened incredulously as he looked at Tang Yumeng, realizing that the Secretary Tang everyone talked about was actually this woman in front of him, this woman named Tang Yumeng. Lin Chuan could hardly believe it was true; he found it hard to believe that such a young woman could climb to the position of city secretary, rising to the level of a department-level official. This… this was absolutely jaw-dropping.

"Tang… Secretary Tang…" Lin Chuan exclaimed in shock: "You… you are Secretary Tang?"

"Exactly." Tang Yumeng nodded proudly, saying, "I am Tang Yumeng, indeed the City Secretary of Jiangbei City."

Tang Yumeng's eyes sparkled with a touch of tiny excitement and thrill, realizing for the first time what it felt like to be underestimated. Of course, she didn't do this on purpose, but was misunderstood by Lin Chuan. Her eyes revealed anticipation; she was very much looking forward to Lin Chuan's next expression, as Tang Yumeng crossed her arms, her white shirt being stretched by her ample bosom, and the buttons at her chest seemed about to burst open.

Lin Chuan blushed deeply, his face showing the expression of one who had swallowed bitter medicine: "Sister, I'm sorry. I…"

"Hmph!" Tang Yumeng scoffed, "Do you think every woman is as you imagine?"

Lin Chuan hung his head, rummaging through his pockets, placing his work badge and car keys on the desk. In resignation, Lin Chuan said, "Sister, I've made an unforgivable mistake. It seems that I'm not up to this job that I pride myself on."

After speaking, Lin Chuan turned to leave.

Women are tigers, not to be offended. Moreover, he had repeatedly offended the other party. He had been forgiven the first time, but this latest misunderstanding, Lin Chuan could not even forgive himself. A city secretary being mistaken as someone's mistress or secondary wife, this was a humiliation no one could swallow. Thus, Lin Chuan could only choose to leave.

"Stop!" Tang Yumeng yelled.

"Sister, if you want to punish me, just say it." Lin Chuan turned around, facing Tang Yumeng bravely, as if prepared for execution.

Pfft...

Tang Yumeng suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, her laugh blooming like flowers, her branches waving, especially her full chest heaving up and down. This enticing sight, for someone like Lin Chuan at an age of boiling blood, was highly provocative.

"What are you looking at?!" Tang Yumeng suddenly glared at Lin Chuan, covering her chest. Lin Chuan quickly averted his gaze, Tang Yumeng seemed somewhat triumphant, a woman able to attract a man, this only proved the woman's charm. Tang Yumeng snorted, "I didn't say I wanted you to leave."

"Sister, what… what do you want exactly?" Lin Chuan asked anxiously, feeling extremely uncomfortable being left in suspense, neither able to ascend nor descend.

"First, tell me, what is your name?" Tang Yumeng asked coldly.

"My name is Lin Chuan." Lin Chuan answered honestly.

"What!" Tang Yumeng was instantly stunned, she looked at the young man in front of her in astonishment, could he be the person Silver Fox was supposed to protect? No, absolutely not, Silver Fox was so outstanding, so beautiful, so mesmerizing, how could she be interested in him? It must be a mistake, Tang Yumeng sneered at herself, the world was full of people with the same name, it couldn't be that she had encountered him so quickly.

"Secretary Tang, what… what's wrong?" Lin Chuan looked puzzled at Tang Yumeng.

"Nothing, you stay." Tang Yumeng snorted, "I'm not that petty. Stay here, and work well."

"You're not holding me accountable anymore?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"I said, I'm not that petty." Tang Yumeng emphasized again.

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan grinned, "Yes, I promise to work hard and certainly won't let down Secretary Tang's high expectations."

Tang Yumeng nodded, not knowing why, but she felt very relaxed when she was with Lin Chuan, not feeling the pressure and strain she experienced with others. Especially when Lin Chuan cheekily called her sister, Tang Yumeng even had an illusion that standing in front of her was not Lin Chuan, but her most beloved younger brother Tang Hao. This feeling made her heart very sweet, but also very bitter.

Lin Chuan picked up his work badge and car keys, Tang Yumeng suddenly called out: "Lin Chuan!"

"Ah?" Lin Chuan responded.

"Later..." Tang Yumeng's face slightly reddened, "Can you call me 'sister' privately from now on?"

"Sure." Lin Chuan nodded. It seemed reasonable; Tang Yumeng should be older than himself, although he wasn't sure by how much. But if someone could be the Secretary, they must be at least thirty years old, right? And he himself was only twenty-four. Calling her "sister" seemed entirely appropriate. However, Tang Yumeng did not look like a woman in her thirties at all.

"Okay!" Tang Yumeng nodded, "Alright, you can go back now. I have to go to Wujiang for an inspection this afternoon. Come to my office in the afternoon."

"Okay." Lin Chuan smiled and nodded.

Just as Lin Chuan was about to leave.

"Wait!" Tang Yumeng immediately called out.

"Secretary Tang... do... do you need something?" Lin Chuan curiously asked.

Tang Yumeng curiously stood up, then walked towards Lin Chuan and picked up a piece of paper from the ground. It had a line of flamboyant writing on it.

"What is this?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"This..." Lin Chuan's face suddenly turned red.

"Speak up!" Tang Yumeng demanded loudly.

"I... I..." Lin Chuan, feeling helpless, could only honestly speak out his thoughts.

After listening, Tang Yumeng looked as if she'd heard a fantastical tale, her eyes wide and her mouth agape.

Hahaha...

Suddenly, she burst into laughter, almost crying from laughing so hard, laughing until her belly hurt and her guts nearly knotted. Lin Chuan felt even more embarrassed standing by; he also didn't understand how his mind could have come up with such a bizarre idea at that moment, and it was even discovered by Tang Yumeng.

"Secretary Tang, can... can I go now?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Yes, yes, you better go." Tang Yumeng nodded, still unable to suppress her laughter.

Lin Chuan hurriedly left.

Only after Lin Chuan left did Tang Yumeng regain her composure. Her expression gradually returned to calm, her heart transitioning from the crazy laughter to now being as calm as still water.

Tang Yumeng felt as if she had lived through a dream. From being unwittingly peeped at by Lin Chuan, even to being wrongly considered as the 'other woman'... Tang Yumeng felt that life could sometimes be quite spectacular, having never seen such an exciting day in her more than a year as the Secretary.

However, in the end, Tang Yumeng's eyes uncontrollably filled with tears.

"Tang Hao, elder sister will definitely avenge you." Tang Yumeng gritted her teeth, her expression slightly fierce.

......

After leaving the Secretary's office, Lin Chuan went straight to the lounge; the recent events were far from over. If he didn't properly deal with those two sons of bitches, they might climb over his head in the future. It was common for old soldiers to bully new ones in the army, but to think it also happened here, Lin Chuan couldn't swallow this grievance. When he first joined the army, he was bullied by old soldiers. Lin Chuan, grabbing a shovel, knocked out one's front teeth, which made many veterans avoid him.

Could he still be bullied in this cursed place?

Just as Lin Chuan entered the lounge, everyone looked towards him. Lin Chuan scanned the crowd but did not see the man in the white shirt and the muscular man. However, a slightly thinner man came over to Lin Chuan and whispered, "Song Wen and Song Wu have left, they probably won't dare to come today."

"Where did they go?" Lin Chuan handed him a cigarette.

The man, pleasantly surprised, accepted the cigarette with both hands, saying, "They probably went to complain, so you better be careful."

"I'm not afraid!" Lin Chuan shook his head and declared loudly, "Whatever tricks they have, bring them on. I've dealt with plenty before, I don't care about adding two more."

"Be cautious, Brother Lin Chuan," the man advised.

"What's your name?" Lin Chuan curiously asked.

"I'm Luo Guoqing." The man smiled and carefully said, "Brother Lin, let me tell you quietly, Song Wen and Song Wu are the Deputy Secretary's nephews. They both got in through connections. Otherwise, with their kind of conduct, how could they qualify?"

"Got it." A sly smile appeared on Lin Chuan's face.

After Lin Chuan left, the lounge erupted into chaos.

"Now there's something to watch; does this guy actually have a life on his hands?"

"Nine out of ten, he came down from the mountain," an old veteran commented while puffing on a cigarette.

"But he was personally recruited by Secretary Tang," another man remarked.
