Private cinemas, a kind of place that emerged as a response to the needs of men and women.

Though called cinemas, they are actually hourly rooms.

But, they allow one to legitimately meet with someone they fancy under the pretext of watching a movie.

Moreover, the movies shown there tend to be quite bold.

During the film, one might engage in rather suggestive actions, or even behaviors that cross the line.

Wang Dahai had classmates who'd taken female friends to such places before; they said it was thrilling.

The movie starts, the lights go off, and the two lie on a bed—watch and watch, until they roll together.

Wang Dahai casually set down the condom, cleared his throat, and was about to speak when Yan Jing grabbed the remote and said, "Let's watch some TV."

Wang Dahai wanted to stop her, but she had already turned it on.

The screen lit up, displaying a list of movie titles.

The names of these movies looked very proper, but Wang Dahai knew their content was certainly not.

Yan Jing set down her cocktail, took off her shoes, and crawled towards the head of the bed.

Wang Dahai looked up and caught a glimpse of the mystery beneath her tight skirt.

But because the room's lighting was red, it was dim and hard to make out clearly.

Yan Jing settled down by the headboard and said, "Mr. Wang, why don't you come over and lean against it too—it's quite comfortable."

"I... uh, sure."

Wang Dahai intended to refuse, but a part of him was inexplicably expectant, so he didn't.

Taking off his shoes, he joined Yan Jing by the headboard, maintaining a distance of about thirty centimeters.

Yan Jing selected "The Phoenix Saga" and hit play.

Wang Dahai's heart hung in his throat.

He stared at the TV, fearing that any second an unseemly scene might appear.

However, he worried too much.

The movie was quite normal.

It was a martial arts film that opened with a few young and beautiful women, followed by some heroes.

Once sure there was nothing unusual about the film, Wang Dahai relaxed and began to discuss business.

"Lawyer Yan, let me give you an overview of the situation."

"Mhm, go ahead." Yan Jing kept her eyes on the film, listening attentively.

Wang Dahai briefly described the company's state of affairs, focusing on Wu Qiangwei's awkward position in the company.

Since she invested later on, theoretically, she was a major shareholder, but the actual person in control was Hu Quan.

Most of the company's employees were Hu Quan's close associates.

In this situation, Wu Qiangwei wanted to investigate the procurement department without causing a stir or letting the company staff know she was inquiring.

After listening to Wang Dahai, Yan Jing said, "There's a way to do it without alarming the finance department."

"What way?"

"Directly contact the suppliers."

Yan Jing stated, "Ask the suppliers for the company's orders."

Wang Dahai's eyes lit up.

"But it won't be easy."

Yan Jing explained, "If there's indeed kickback activity in your company's procurement department, then there's an issue on the suppliers' side too. So, getting an order from them will be difficult."

"Normally, they would never provide it to you."

"After all, once the company's higher-ups find out about such things, at the very least, they'd face dismissal, and in serious cases, not just firings but also police reports."

The flicker of hope that had just risen in Wang Dahai's heart was instantly extinguished.

Wang Dahai asked, "Is there any other way?"

"Yes."

Really? There was another way?

Wang Dahai realized that he really didn't understand Lawyer Yan very well.

She seemed fragile and in great need of... certain things, but in her professional field, she was quite the expert.

"In fact, there are many ways. For example, you could meet with someone from your company's finance department and offer them money to cooperate with the investigation."

When Yan Jing discussed business, she was completely serious and had a unique charm.

Wang Dahai pondered and said, "That method seems difficult and time-consuming. Are there any other methods?"

Yan Jing said, "Or, you could threaten the finance department with a call to the police."

"This method... it's not really feasible. If the finance department gets desperate and spills the beans, the whole thing would be exposed."

"Then go find the supplier and coerce or entice them."

"Is there really no other way?"

"No, that's all." She had told him all the methods she could think of.

"Oh, right."

Yan Jing said, "If you know anyone at the taxation bureau or the commerce bureau, you could ask them to step in. Most companies are afraid of these two departments and will definitely cooperate."

Wang Dahai gave a wry smile; he was just an ordinary recent graduate, how could he possibly know anyone in those departments.

Wait a moment, I know the director of the education department.

That seems like it wouldn't work either.

The education department has nothing to do with the commerce and taxation departments.

Besides, even if she could help introduce me, in order to ask for their help, I'd have to offer them some benefit.

Nobody wants to do something for nothing.

And Director Han's influence might not be enough.

Logically speaking, as the director of the education department, he holds significant power.

And which family doesn't have children?

As long as there are children, there's always a time when you can ask for a favor.

So, if Director Han really did ask, the taxation and commerce departments would definitely be happy to help.

After all, to have a director owe you a favor would be a very profitable deal.

But the key issue is that Director Han is known for his integrity.

Such a person is at a disadvantage within the system.

If you're too upstanding, nobody wants to play with you.

Even if you're a director, it's easy to end up isolated and marginalized.

Which is to say, Director Han, in name, is the hand that wields the power in the education department.

But in reality, because of his integrity and refusal to collude, not many people are willing to heed his word.

This could be seen from the fact that Chu Qing's homeroom teacher didn't recognize her status.

Moreover, the house she lives in is also quite old.

For a director of a municipal department, even living in a villa wouldn't be surprising.

Wang Dahai sighed inwardly; he had finally connected with an official within the system, but he turned out to be an honest one.

He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that Yan Jing, sitting next to him, was breathing somewhat rapidly.

He looked up and saw her legs, which for some reason were tightly pressed together.

Her shapely legs were slightly raised, rubbing gently against each other.

Her hands were pressing against her lower abdomen, her entire body tensed up, and her cheeks were an unnatural shade of red.

What's happening?

"Lawyer Yan, are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Dahai had just asked the question when his ears picked up a strange sound coming from the TV.

He turned his head to look and his eyes widened.

The martial arts film that had seemed so normal before had suddenly taken a bizarre turn.

The hero was now embracing and kissing a woman.

Such a scene is common in movies.

But the details of this kiss, the shooting was way too detailed, right?

While kissing her, the hero was caressing her fullness with one hand, and with the other, he was lifting her long skirt, burrowing between her legs, with movements accompanied by the sound of water.

Damn!

Wang Dahai cursed in his mind.

The normal scenes before were just to deceive the audience.

This is straight-up adult-rated material!

At that moment, Yan Jing suddenly lifted the blanket and covered her lower body.

Wang Dahai clearly saw that her hand seemed to be under her skirt.
