Lin Chuan's hand moved down from Tang Yumeng's slender waist, holding her with both hands. Tang Yumeng's breathing became increasingly rapid and erratic.

She was already stirred by Lin Chuan to the point where she could hardly restrain herself. However, there was a voice inside her reminding her that this was the office. This wasn't a place to act recklessly. After all, this was the office of the top official in Jiangbei City. Doing such obscene and disgraceful things here was simply disrespectful to the people, to the party, and to the nation. Thus, Tang Yumeng tried her best to hold back, though she could hardly do so. She could only grit her teeth, enjoying it and restraining herself at the same time.

"Sister, I want it," Lin Chuan murmured, kissing Tang Yumeng's neck and nibbling on her earlobe.

"No way." Tang Yumeng shook her head and said, "This is the office, how can we do this here?"

"Then... let's go to your lounge," Lin Chuan hurriedly suggested.

"That's not okay either." Tang Yumeng shook her head and said, "It's my office hours now. What if Xiao Xue barges in?"

"Why worry? That little girl wouldn't dare say anything even if she saw it," Lin Chuan chuckled.

Tang Yumeng was startled and quickly said, "You rogue, that's too bad of you. What do you expect me to do if Xiao Xue sees us?"

"Then what should we do?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Let's talk about it later." Tang Yumeng hurriedly pushed Lin Chuan away.

Looking down, she realized her shirt buttons had already been undone by Lin Chuan. She opened her eyes shyly, bashfully glancing at Lin Chuan.

Tang Yumeng's face turned bright red. She quickly adjusted her undergarments and buttoned up her shirt, glaring at Lin Chuan and saying, "You scoundrel, you're the ultimate pervert."

"Why?" Lin Chuan asked.

"You undid my clothes without me even noticing," Tang Yumeng replied with a hint of irritation.

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed heartily, then said, "That means you were really enjoying it, sister."

"Nonsense." Tang Yumeng huffed lightly, seemingly unwilling to admit.

"Won't admit it?" Lin Chuan chuckled, "Sister, I even pulled down half of your panties. Didn't you know that?"

Tang Yumeng was taken aback. She quickly sensed something was amiss, and her face turned red down to her neck. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Lin Chuan, you... you scoundrel, you're too bad."

"Haha..." Lin Chuan laughed aloud.

"I'm going to hit you!" Tang Yumeng bashfully pulled up her panties.

Lin Chuan had already run out of the office with a smug look. Watching Lin Chuan's retreating figure, a trace of a happy smile appeared on Tang Yumeng's face. Sometimes, happiness is simple; perhaps it's because of a piece of candy, an event, or a person.

Being able to come through his mother's death, Tang Yumeng was already very satisfied at least it proved that Lin Chuan wasn't depressed. Initially, Tang Yumeng thought that given Lin Chuan's filial piety, learning that his mother was killed would drive him insane, and he would view the world with an extreme mindset. However, now she finally understood that Lin Chuan was fine, quite the opposite, he was doing well and in good spirits.

However, for some people, a superficial look isn't enough. Like Lin Chuan, his inner world is very rich—there's sunshine and darkness. Depending on who he's dealing with, he shows different sides. To Tang Yumeng, he showed his sunny side; to Zhou Kai and the others, he showed his righteous side; and to Qin Dalei, he showed a darker side.

After leaving the City Committee office, Lin Chuan turned back and headed to the Sichuan University Group.

Sichuan University Group had now become a pride of the people in Jiangbei City. In their view, having a local company that was conscientious and acted on behalf of Jiangbei City's residents was something they took great pride in.

The most upscale office building in Jiangbei City, Jiangbei Building.

When Lin Chuan arrived at Sichuan University Group, he was surprised to find that the office, which originally had only over twenty people, had expanded to more than fifty people. The public office area, which used to be sparsely occupied and seemed quite empty, suddenly felt lively with the addition of these new people.

The receptionist was tall and beautiful. She smiled brightly and led Lin Chuan to Zhou Rui's office.

Inside Zhou Rui's office, a man from the engineering department was discussing some issue with Zhou Rui. Seeing Lin Chuan enter, Zhou Rui quickly said, "Lin Chuan, you're here? Great, come quickly, there's an issue here that we need your input on."

"What issue?" Lin Chuan asked.

"The people from the engineering department mentioned that the materials for laying the foundations are available here in Jiangbei City, but the local materials are much inferior compared to those in Foshan, Guangdong," Zhou Rui looked at Lin Chuan and said, "It's a type of stone. Here in Jiangbei City, it costs over five hundred per ton, but if we transport it from Foshan, the price would reach a thousand. This alone would increase expenses by tens of millions. So, should we choose the ones from Jiangbei City or those from Foshan?"

"Chairman Lin, laying the foundation is crucial to the building's structural integrity," the senior engineer from the engineering department said seriously. "This isn't like the appearance of a building; it's hidden underground, unseen, and untouchable. However, it has a significant impact on the building's structure and safety. The geology of Jiangbei City is primarily limestone, and the hardness of the stone here doesn't meet the standards. If we insist on using this stone, I'm afraid... if an earthquake occurs, it might... pose a huge safety risk."

"Jiangbei City hasn't experienced an earthquake in several hundred years," Zhou Rui said helplessly. "Besides, Jiang Province isn't located on a seismic belt. Therefore, we don't need to consider this issue at all. Spending tens of millions more is a big financial burden for us."

"But..." The engineer was still a bit worried.

At this moment, Lin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Old Chen, I'll go with your suggestion. Let's have the foundation materials delivered from Foshan."

"Why?" Zhou Rui immediately objected. She stood up and said, "This change in materials will make us spend an additional thirty to fifty million."

"But it will make our building safer, won't it?" Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Rui and said seriously, "We must be conscientious developers. While I can consider how to save on costs, I absolutely can't ignore safety issues casually."

"Alright," Zhou Rui shrugged helplessly and said, "You're the boss, I can't make the decision."

"Xiao Rui, you can't say it like that," Lin Chuan looked at Zhou Rui.

At this moment, the engineer Old Chen quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'll head out to handle this. I'll contact Foshan and have them send the raw materials over by truck soon."

"Okay!" Zhou Rui nodded.

As soon as Old Chen left, Zhou Rui immediately snuggled into Lin Chuan's embrace. Zhou Rui had a more open mindset and never dressed formally at work; she wore whatever she liked. Today, she was wearing a long batwing top with denim shorts, revealing her long, smooth, fair legs. She sat on Lin Chuan's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a playful smile, "Why are you so willing to come see me?"

"It's been a long time, and I've missed you," Lin Chuan said in a literary manner.

"You've been missing Tang Yumeng, haven't you?" Zhou Rui pouted with displeasure.

Lin Chuan gently kissed her lips and said, "I miss her and you, too."

"You bad man." Zhou Rui flushed as soon as Lin Chuan kissed her.

"I'm a bad man?" Lin Chuan chuckled with a sly smile, "Then I should leave."

"Don't go." Zhou Rui immediately grabbed Lin Chuan's arm and said, "You can't leave."

"Didn't you say I'm a bad man?" Lin Chuan chuckled, "If I'm a bad man, why not let me go? Or do you want me to continue being bad to you?"

"But I want you to be bad to me," Zhou Rui said with a flushed face, hugging Lin Chuan tightly.

"Ha ha..." Lin Chuan suddenly burst into laughter.

The two quickly began to kiss. Compared to Tang Yumeng, Zhou Rui was much more open. As they kissed, she started to undress. Seeing this, Lin Chuan was taken aback and hurriedly covered Zhou Rui's hands with his own, saying, "Don't undress, this is the office."

"What's to be afraid of?" Zhou Rui said dismissively, "No one would dare barge in anyway."

"What if your secretary comes in?" Lin Chuan asked.

"That's not a problem," Zhou Rui giggled, "My secretary is a pretty girl. If she sees, she sees. It's not like you'd be at a loss; you might even take advantage."

"No way." Lin Chuan quickly helped Zhou Rui button her clothes back up.

Zhou Rui looked disappointed and then teasingly gazed at Lin Chuan, saying, "Is there nothing about the temptation of the office that you like?"

"I..." Lin Chuan swallowed hard, especially when he saw Zhou Rui's long, fair legs. The blood in his body surged even more. He took a deep breath and quickly used his willpower to suppress the flames inside him.

Zhou Rui, however, sat on the desk, her legs propped on it. She continually stroked her long legs with her hands, making them look particularly enticing. What puzzled Lin Chuan the most was that the girl occasionally pulled down her neckline, revealing large areas of her fair shoulders and chest, which made Lin Chuan's eyes brighten and redden.

"Huff..."

Lin Chuan's breathing became increasingly ragged; he felt like his blood vessels were about to burst.

Seeing Lin Chuan's gaze fixated, Zhou Rui suddenly unbuttoned her shorts and gently tugged them down a bit.

"You!" Lin Chuan almost jumped up.
