As soon as these words were spoken.

Eliza Henderson knew it was over.

She covered her face with one hand and didn't dare to speak.

"How is it, how is it? Was it comfortable with Dirk Carter?"

Maeve Winters asked with great interest.

Eliza Henderson pouted and said, "Why are you asking so much? You can't even let a man touch you. Even if I tell you, you won't understand."

"Why wouldn't I understand? My condition was cured long ago, and it was Dirk Carter who helped me cure it."

As soon as Maeve Winters finished speaking, Eliza Henderson asked in shock, "Are you saying you've already... with Dirk Carter?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I bet with you to let you experience such a wonderful feeling?"

Maeve Winters said triumphantly.

Eliza Henderson suddenly understood everything.

She said angrily, "Maeve Winters, are we still good sisters and classmates?"

"Of course, look, even when I got something good, I didn't keep it to myself. And you say I'm not a good sister, not a good classmate? Hehe... I knew Dirk Carter would definitely satisfy you."

This was indeed true.

Even now, thinking back, Eliza Henderson felt her face flush red, and the sensation of soaring to the heavens and diving to the earth made her unable to stop.

"I won't talk to you, you bad girl!"

Thinking of this, a warm current surged within her again.

Frightened, she quickly hung up the phone.

Eliza Henderson was left savoring the experience endlessly.

On Dirk Carter's side, he was quite baffled.

The whole way there he was thinking, did he misread the situation?

It shouldn't be.

She dressed like that and insisted he act like a man; what else could it mean other than she wanted him to sleep with her?

Besides.

He only intended to give a kiss, but she held on to him and wouldn't let go. So, why was she angry in the end?

Thinking it over and over, he couldn't figure it out. Women's hearts are unfathomable, impossible to see through or predict.

Dirk Carter could only shake his head.

Early the next morning.

Dirk Carter hurried to the county government building.

It was County Mayor Simon Lewis who called him over. By the time he arrived, there were already two people in the office.

One was Simon Lewis, of course, and the other was the Executive Deputy County Mayor, Caden Dixon.

When Dirk Carter came in.

Caden Dixon crossed his legs, showing no interest in acknowledging him.

"You're here? Have a seat."

Simon Lewis pointed to the sofa.

As soon as Dirk Carter sat down, Simon Lewis said, "Comrade Dirk Carter, there are two things I called you for today. The first is about the preparatory committee for the vocational and technical college. According to plan, this project will break ground after the New Year. As the team leader, you need to coordinate manpower and resources from various departments. If you encounter any difficulties, talk directly to Executive Director Dixon, and he will help you solve them."

"Okay."

Dirk Carter said this with his mouth.

But in his heart, he was swearing.

Caden Dixon would only help if pigs flew; he would rather see Dirk in trouble.

"The second thing, as you know, is that this vocational and technical college is a private school. The investor is Evermore Education Group. In two days, the leaders of Evermore will come to Kenton County for an inspection. Previously, these matters were handled by Comrade Yorke Payne, but now that Comrade Yorke Payne is no longer here, the responsibility falls on you. I have only one principle: let these people come with excitement and leave with satisfaction. As for the specific funding issues, just discuss them with Executive Director Dixon."

"Okay, Mayor Lewis."

Dirk Carter nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I've said what needs to be said. I have another meeting to attend. You two can coordinate the remaining issues."

After Simon Lewis finished speaking.

He tidied up the notebook and pen on the table and left.

Caden Dixon stood up, humming a tune, and leisurely walked out, clearly heading back to his office.

Although Dirk Carter couldn't stand Caden Dixon either.

But there was no choice, because he was county leadership, and, as Simon Lewis said, all the matters for the preparation committee had to be communicated with him. Heck, even if he were the deputy county mayor now, he would still have to bow before Caden Dixon.

It's precisely because of this that Caden has enough capital to act high and mighty.

Holding in his frustration.

He followed Caden Dixon to his office.

Caden Dixon leisurely sat down, looking at Dirk Carter standing there, without any intention of inviting him to sit.

He coughed once.

He said, "Comrade Dirk Carter, let's not talk about the preparation committee for now. Let's discuss the reception; how much funding do you need?"

Dirk Carter thought for a moment and asked, "How long is the Evermore Education Group planning to stay in Kenton County?"

"Three days."

"How many people are in their group?"

"4 people, three men and one woman."

"Are we responsible for arranging all their meals, lodging, and transportation?"

Dirk Carter continued to ask.

Caden Dixon was evidently a bit impatient, frowned, and said, "Of course we are."

"What level of reception should be arranged?"

"Do you have to ask everything? Are you hosting them or am I? Are you that stupid?"

Caden Dixon scolded.

Dirk Carter wanted to lose his temper, but the words were swallowed back down his throat.

He said, "Let's calculate at one thousand per person per day; give me a total of 12,000 in funding."

Dirk Carter reported the lowest price. After all, these people are big bosses; a thousand a day is nowhere near enough. The reason he reported like this was for fear that Caden Dixon would make things difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Caden Dixon heard this, he widened his eyes and asked, "12,000? Dirk Carter, do you think the government's money falls from the sky with the wind? 12,000, what are you thinking? I'll give you 2,000, and the rest you either take from your education bureau's budget or cover yourself. I don't care, I only want results, not process. If any of the four guests are dissatisfied with your arrangements, don't blame me for being unfriendly."

It turned out to be just as expected.

Caden Dixon was using this opportunity to give him a hard time.

As a form of settling past scores.

With just 2,000 in funding, over three days, that's barely 600-plus a day, less than two hundred per person; how to host with that? It's impossible, just making things difficult.

Seeing Dirk Carter with a tightly furrowed brow.

Caden Dixon asked with satisfaction, "Is it difficult?"

"No, there's no difficulty at all, Executive Director, rest assured, I will definitely let the four guests leave happily and satisfyingly."

Dirk Carter said.

When Caden Dixon heard this.

He tapped the sofa armrest, stood up.

He said, "Good, Dirk Carter, you said it. If you handle this well, I'll commend you, but if you mess it up, then you can forget about being the director of the education bureau. Let someone capable handle it. Go prepare, I'll have my secretary send you the time and place later."

"Okay, goodbye, Executive Director."

Dirk Carter nodded, turned, and left.

As he left.

A small door in the office opened.

The Secretary of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs, Troy Kane, came out.

Complaining, he said, "Old Dixon, what are you doing messing around? Do you think giving him 2,000 is going to stump him? Truly wishful thinking."

Caden Dixon leisurely sat down.

He asked Troy Kane, "Do you know how much Yorke Payne spent last time when these people came over?"

"How much?"

Troy Kane asked.

Caden Dixon chuckled and said, "A total of 380,000 over three days!"

"That much?" Troy Kane's mouth dropped open in surprise.

"Yorke Payne, that kid, has embezzled quite a bit over the years. 380,000 was nothing to him. Do you think Dirk Carter can come up with 380,000?"

Troy Kane thought about it and also found it reasonable, then suddenly furrowed his brows and asked, "What if he can come up with 380,000?"

"Him? Look at this person, he's been in Kenton County for more than a month and doesn't even have a private car. If he can come up with 380,000, I'll have to take a good look into his income issues."

Upon hearing this, Troy Kane understood a little more and started laughing heartily, giving Caden Dixon a thumbs-up, saying, "Brilliant, truly brilliant."

Caden Dixon waved his hand, a modest expression, said, "That's not the main point, the main point is the deputy general manager on this trip, Penn Vincent..."
