"Sister..." Lin Chuan's voice was very soft.

"Stop messing around..." Tang Yumeng glared at him subtly as if to remind him that this was a public occasion.

Lin Chuan smiled, his purpose in doing so was to remind Tang Yumeng that they had a good relationship, how could she sell him out at this time? Lin Chuan felt aggrieved. Tang Yumeng handed the microphone to Lin Chuan and said, "You've won this year's top prize, share your feelings with everyone."

"I'm proud, I'm arrogant," Lin Chuan said loudly.

"You..." Tang Yumeng was stunned.

The audience was initially shocked, then burst into hearty laughter.

Tang Yumeng felt frustrated as if hating iron for not becoming steel. Calmly, she asked, "Well then, tell us why you are proud, why you are arrogant?"

"Firstly, being chosen first by Secretary Tang surely indicates that I must have done something wrong that I have not noticed, and that's truly the scariest part," Lin Chuan, holding the microphone and walking on the stage, looking at the hundreds of people and eyes staring at him, smiled and said: "Confucius said, knowing your mistakes and correcting them is most commendable. Yet, I didn't even know where I erred, but Secretary Tang enlightened me, allowing me the opportunity to mend my ways, and even in my wrongdoing, Secretary Tang chose to forgive me generously. I take pride in having such a secretary for myself and the millions of people of Jiangbei City."

Rustle...

The audience burst into applause, Tang Yumeng listening felt something was off. At that moment, Lin Chuan waved his hand, and immediately there was silence below the stage.

"Moreover, with so many people here, including many party members and officials all joined me in self-reflection, I find it remarkable," Lin Chuan turned his head towards the presidium, smiling, "I'm just a minor driver, and it's inevitable to make mistakes in life, I often introspect and self-criticize. After all, I'm just at the grassroots. But, thinking that even high-ranking officers like Secretary Tang and Vice Secretary can sit here with me and discuss self-reflection, I see it as a hope for national revival, a hope for national prosperity. I'm proud of our country for having such party members and such officials."

Rustle...

The venue once again erupted into vigorous applause, turning this into quite a speaking event for Lin Chuan.

Tang Yumeng, with a stern face, snatched the microphone, asking, "Lin Chuan, you've been working for less than a month, been late three times, left early eleven times, and skipped work for one day. What do you think..."

"I think it's glorious," Lin Chuan said loudly.

Rustle...

The venue was once again astir. The more than ten city committee leaders and officials on the stage, along with several hundred grassroots and mid-level city government officials were all abuzz. Tang Yumeng's expression darkened further, she thought to herself, has this guy gone mad? He's talking nonsense, he could barely explain the previous comment, but this time, how could he explain?

"You tell us, why do you think it's glorious?" Tang Yumeng gritted her teeth.

Lin Chuan took the microphone from Tang Yumeng's hand and then said: "Party members, comrades, think about it, if a city is chaotic, poor. Then, can the leader of this city be idle?"

"No!" The crowd shook their heads in response.

Lin Chuan's words left everyone baffled. At this moment, Lin Chuan laughed and said, "Exactly. As Secretary Tang's driver, I am a reflection of Secretary Tang's busyness. If a city is stable, harmonious, prosperous, and powerful, then it must be a comfortable city suitable for living, a city suitable for subsistence. And the leader of this city must naturally be a relatively calm and not busy person. Because Jiangbei City's economy is ranked among the top three in Jiang Province, and is harmonious, stable, civilized, and strong... It means Secretary Tang doesn't have to overwork, and as Secretary Tang's driver, naturally I also have nothing much to do, hence having the chance to be late, leave early, and even skip work. Thus, I feel honored for the harmony, prosperity, and strength of Jiangbei City."

Rustle...

Once again, Lin Chuan's speech won over everyone, they clapped enthusiastically, and many who didn't know Lin Chuan, remembered his words.

A slight smile appeared on Tang Yumeng's lips, this guy, he's quick-witted and eloquent.

"Alright, you can step down now," Tang Yumeng had no way with this guy, one moment proud and arrogant, the next moment glorious, continuing the trial she didn't know what else this guy might come up with, so Tang Yumeng simply sent him away.

After coming down, Luo Guoqing's face was all smiles.

"Brother, that was awesome," Luo Guoqing handed Lin Chuan a cigarette.

"Not bad," Lin Chuan was quite proud of himself.

"Did you see that? The bunch of people on the platform were almost rendered speechless by you," Luo Guoqing laughed and said, "Tsk tsk, education really makes a difference. Unlike us, went straight to the military after middle school, then worked as security personnel, and as a driver after discharge. Until now, we haven't had much education."

"Ha ha…" Lin Chuan laughed heartily: "I'm just a high school graduate."

"That's still a scholar," Luo Guoqing gave a thumbs up to Lin Chuan.

Although Lin Chuan only graduated from high school, he furthered his study in the military, and through his travels far and wide, he gained a lot of broad experiences and accumulated quite a bit of cultural knowledge. Lin Chuan and Luo Guoqing whispered among themselves in the dark.

On the stage, Tang Yumeng continued to talk about various issues of the review meeting.

Luckily, the review meeting ended around 3 p.m. Lin Chuan was preparing to go on a big food sweep in the cafeteria with Luo Guoqing, but unexpectedly, he was intercepted by Tang Yumeng halfway there.

"Lin Chuan, come to my office," Tang Yumeng replied.

"Secretary Tang, I'm hungry," Lin Chuan said, clutching his stomach, almost starving to death.

Tang Yumeng turned and walked away, while Luo Guoqing gave Lin Chuan a look and said, "Bro, hurry up and go. It's tough to mess with the Secretary, and even tougher with women."

"Sigh..." Lin Chuan could only nod and then scurried off to Tang Yumeng's office.

In the office, it was just the two of them, and the heating was strong, even slightly hot. After Tang Yumeng entered the office, she took off her coat, revealing a white shirt tucked inside a black skirt. The white shirt outlined Tang Yumeng's curvaceous figure, very enticing. Especially those long legs under her short skirt, clad in black silk stockings...

"What are you looking at?" Tang Yumeng glared at him.

"Sis, you… did you call me here for something?" Lin Chuan asked awkwardly, "Didn't I make myself clear during the review meeting?"

"Hmph..." Tang Yumeng nodded and said, "Your ability to defend yourself is indeed not bad."

"Hehe..." Lin Chuan grinned.

"I called you here to do a review on your own," Tang Yumeng sat down on a chair.

Lin Chuan stood up, looking down from above. The top two buttons of Tang Yumeng's white shirt were unbuttoned, revealing the snow-white skin underneath, leading to wild thoughts. Lin Chuan forcefully shifted his gaze away and awkwardly asked, "What… what should I review?"

"You must make a profound review," Tang Yumeng smiled and then brought out a large thermos from the resting room, from which she took out box after box of food. Opening the boxes, there were Lin Chuan's favorite dishes like double-cooked pork, spicy chicken, and beer-braised duck. Finally, she took out a large rice box filled with fluffy, translucent rice still steaming hot.

"I... I will, I will," Lin Chuan quickly nodded and said, "I was wrong. I want to make a profound review to the Secretary, the organization, and the people. I should not have been late or left early, I should not have skipped work, I… I have severely violated the staff work regulations, I… I am willing to be punished."

"That's more like it," Tang Yumeng looked down at the documents in her hand.

"Sis, then… can I start eating now?" Lin Chuan approached, as in front of the food, he seemed less interested in Tang Yumeng's beauty.

"Hold on…" Tang Yumeng suddenly spoke up.

"Sis, what's the matter?" Lin Chuan looked aggrieved, saying, "Can't we talk after I've eaten?"

"Go wash your hands first," Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan.

"Ah… okay, okay…" Lin Chuan was about to leave.

"There's water in the resting room," Tang Yumeng continued looking down at her documents.

Lin Chuan turned around and entered the resting room, which contained a bed, a wardrobe, and importantly, a scenic balcony. From the balcony, he could see a vast and enchanting view. However, on the balcony, Lin Chuan saw Tang Yumeng's underwear and panties, made of transparent lace…

"Oh my!" Lin Chuan quickly lowered his head, inwardly chanting, "Do not gaze, do not gaze…"

After washing his hands, he hurried out. When Tang Yumeng saw Lin Chuan's slightly blushing face, she immediately realized that her underwear and panties from the day before were still on the balcony. How could she have forgotten to take them in? Tang Yumeng's heart fluttered. She sneakily glanced at Lin Chuan a couple of times. He seemed calm, had he not seen them? Tang Yumeng quickly got up, entered the resting room, hurriedly collected her underwear and panties, and placed them in a designated storage box.

After finishing all this, she took a deep breath.

Lin Chuan was already wolfing down the food with the lunch box.

"You... you even ate my portion?" Tang Yumeng was shocked as she looked at Lin Chuan.

"This… wasn't this all for me?" Lin Chuan looked up at Tang Yumeng.

"You… you really have no conscience," Tang Yumeng glared at Lin Chuan, upset not only because he ate her food but also used her personal utensils.

"Sis, I didn't know, why don't you eat first, and then let me eat?" Lin Chuan pushed the lunch box toward her.

"Forget it, forget it, just eat," Tang Yumeng said helplessly.
