"I confessed my feelings to someone, and it was a failure." Song Hao said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Song was outraged, thinking, who is this bold girl who dares to reject her son? Doesn't she know what kind of family we are, and that her son is handsome and educated from abroad? Although he is still establishing himself now, he will surely join the People's Political Consultative Conference soon and later work for the City Committee. His future is limitless, and he has a powerful father.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Song angrily exclaimed. "Which clueless little b**** dares reject your confession?"

"Tang Yumeng!" Song Hao responded.

"What?!" Mrs. Song was momentarily speechless, then hurriedly said, "Haozi, why... why did you go after Tang Yumeng?"

"I just like her." Song Hao took a deep breath and said, "I've decided to pursue her."

"But..." Mrs. Song was getting anxious, "This woman is not someone we can afford to provoke. Also, she's not simple at all; even Bai Yifan was rejected by her. I think... we better choose someone else. Tang Yumeng that littleot has been played out by others long ago, why are you still choosing her?"

"No way." Song Hao shook his head firmly. "I have set my mind on Tang Yumeng, and I must win her over."

"Oh dear, Haozi, do you really have to be so headstrong? Don't turn back until you hit the wall?" Mrs. Song was getting anxious, sensing that her son wouldn't benefit from pursuing Tang Yumeng, and might end up in a very bad situation.

"Exactly." Song Hao nodded and said, "If my heart isn't dead, I'll never turn back."

"Then what are you going to do?" Mrs. Song half-jokingly, half-seriously said: "If all else fails, should I find some people to kidnap Tang Yumeng and bring her to your bed?"

"I'm not interested in forcing somebody." Song Hao clenched his teeth. "I must find a way to make Tang Yumeng kneel before me and beg me."

"Haozi, why do you have to do this?" Mrs. Song pleaded bitterly. But Song Hao was simply out of patience to listen.

Seeing his mother desperately advising him, Song Hao slammed the door and left. Mrs. Song felt helpless, knowing well the kind of person her son was; not a bad nature, but once he is set on something, he must see it through to the end.

At the police station.

Song Hao entered Chen Jianjun's office, annoyed.

"Ah, Mr. Song, you've arrived?" Chen Jianjun hurriedly stood up to pour him tea. Seeing Song Hao's mood, he asked with concern, "Haozi, you seem upset. Did someone provoke you? Tell me about it."

Song Hao, annoyed, said, "It's a long story."

"Come on, tell me." Chen Jianjun smiled. "Maybe I could help you."

Upon hearing this, Song Hao's eyes brightened, and he smiled, "Alright, I'll tell you."

Then, Song Hao immediately told Chen Jianjun about his failure to confess the previous day. Upon hearing this, Chen Jianjun said, "I think you should let it go. Tang Yumeng is after all the secretary of the city, and we are just low-level policemen. It will be hard to pursue her."

"Humph." Song Hao snorted. "You can't say that. No matter how high Tang Yumeng's status is, she is still a woman. Every woman needs a man, just as every man needs a woman. I believe Tang Yumeng doesn't dislike me, it's because Lin Chuan is in the picture."

As soon as Lin Chuan was mentioned, Chen Jianjun felt puzzled, "Right, that Lin Chuan is so poor, has no money, power, status or position... why would Tang Yumeng like him? Even someone as suave and sophisticated as Bai Yifan was rejected too, why is that?"

"How would I know!" Song Hao shook his head, "Maybe Tang Yumeng has a special affection for Lin Chuan."

"Nonsense." Chen Jianjun shook his head, "Let me ask you, if a woman was extremely ugly, would you like her?"

"No." Song Hao pondered, "But, Lin Chuan once saved Tang Yumeng's life."

"What if this extremely ugly woman had saved your life?" Chen Jianjun pressed.

"I still wouldn't like her." Song Hao hastily shook his head.

"In ancient times, when a young man saved a young woman, the woman would offer herself in marriage." Chen Jianjun laughed, "Offering herself in marriage, if she's beautiful, that's what it's called, but if she's ugly... then it's considered malicious intent."

"Haha..." Song Hao burst into laughter.

"Feeling better now?" Chen Jianjun smiled.

"Right, do you have any ideas to help me?" Song Hao asked eagerly.

"Ideas?" Chen Jianjun was startled, "What can I do? You might as well give up!"

"No way." Song Hao shook his head, "I must find a way to make Tang Yumeng kneel before me. I simply don't believe I can't pursue this woman."

Chen Jianjun looked at Song Hao with an incredibly strange expression, "I'd advise you to give up. This woman is not easy to provoke, nor should she be provoked."

"Of course, I won't be foolish enough to provoke her directly." Song Hao sneered, "I can deal with Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan is neither a secretary nor anyone significant. He's merely Tang Yumeng's driver. Besides, he's involved in the underworld; there must be some illegal activities."

"That's also true." Chen Jianjun blinked, smiling, "You could try that."

"I'm a police officer now." Song Hao said proudly with a smile: "Do you think I'd be afraid of him? Deputy Director Chen, how many of Lin Chuan's places are actually legal and compliant?"

"Well..." Chen Jianjun thought for a moment and said, "Haiqing Pool has all the necessary paperwork, with Li Jiangping as the guarantor, it's not easy to make a move there. The transportation market, Feixiang Company seems to have no major issues either. But..."

"But what?" Song Hao immediately perked up.

"But it seems that he recently snatched a sand mining site from Mr. Hu," Chen Jianjun said with a smile: "That sand mining site has no paperwork whatsoever, now that Lin Chuan has grabbed it, I see it as an opportunity."

Bang...

Song Hao slammed the table and said angrily: "Damn his arrogance. Let's target that site today."

Chen Jianjun was startled, then raised an eyebrow and asked: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!" Song Hao immediately nodded and said: "I'll take responsibility for any consequences."

...

Jiangbei City, City Committee.

Just an ordinary, mundane day.

Lin Chuan, this guy, drove to the City Committee for work, having almost taken over a week off. He had almost relaxed to the point of laziness at home. If he didn't find some work soon, he would probably become lazy in the future. Today was his first day back at work after being fired.

Tap tap tap...

Just as the car arrived at the gate, the security guard refused to open it, which annoyed Lin Chuan.

"Open the gate!" Lin Chuan bellowed.

"Weren't you fired?" The security guard poked his head out and asked: "What are you doing here? Stop coming."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan was furious. Previously, he helped them reclaim their rightful benefits, these ungrateful bastards, and now that he was fired, they all pretended not to recognize him. A rush of fury bolted through Lin Chuan's heart.

Lin Chuan pushed open the car door and jumped down directly from the car.

Clang...

He kicked open the door of the guardhouse and yelled furiously: "Are you going to open the gate or not!"

"Deputy Secretary Song instructed specifically not to let you in," the security guard said awkwardly.

"Fuck!" Lin Chuan kicked out in anger and said: "When I helped you guys get justice back then, why didn't you mention Song Ming? Now that I've been fired, you paste your affection on Song Ming's cold ass?"

"I...I..." The security guard got knocked over. Another security guard quickly said: "Brother Lin, please calm down, we will open the gate right away."

"Hurry up and open the gate!" Lin Chuan roared.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The two security guards quickly opened the gate.

After raising the barrier, Lin Chuan drove in, and numerous security guards gathered around the entrance. The commotion at the door naturally attracted the curious crowd. A group of people looked up with curious faces as Lin Chuan entered.

"Wasn't this guy fired?"

"Weird, How come he's back? Could he be here for Tang Yumeng?"

"Most likely that's the case."

Facing the crowd's spectacle and heated discussion, Lin Chuan didn't regard them at all. Instead, he headed straight upstairs. Upon entering the City Committee hall, the passing staff looked at Lin Chuan curiously, all very surprised.

"Wasn't Lin Chuan fired?"

"Maybe he is just here to see Secretary Tang."

In the lobby, anyone who saw Lin Chuan would inevitably discuss him vigorously. Given Lin Chuan's high-profile status and his sensitive personality, the reason for such sensitivity was due to that subtle relationship between him and Tang Yumeng. Without such a relationship, perhaps Lin Chuan wouldn't have received such high attention from everyone.

Lin Chuan walked into the human resources department.

Minister Chen was sitting in his chair with a pot belly, working on his computer, which displayed a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contained data from the past month for the people under his management. He was rigorously checking this batch of data, which included their salaries for the month, attendance, leaves... and various other assessments.

"Hmm, this guy was one minute late, mark it as an hour. Deduct half a day's pay," Minister Chen was very seriously calculating the data.

"Good fellow," Minister Chen looked at another person's data and said: "This guy was caught by me having breakfast outside last time, definitely was late, deduct half a day's pay."
