A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 37: The Old Cow Eats Young Grass


Maybe it's because I've never seen such a scene.

Colette Wagner screamed the moment she saw it.

The sound pierced the sky.

It also terrified the two people in the office, giving them a splitting headache.

The woman hurriedly grabbed the clothes from the sofa, while the head nestled between her legs quickly stood up and looked towards the window.

There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.

Dirk Carter had no choice but to come clean.

He opened the window and leaped in.

Then he pulled Colette Wagner in as well.

By this time, the two had hurriedly put on their clothes.

A man and a woman, the woman was about forty to fifty years old, while the man whose face was not visible earlier appeared to be only in his twenties.

He was handsome and strong, exuding a youthful vibe.

A classic case of an older woman with a younger man.

"Who are you people?"

The woman, who had a twisted expression earlier, was now sitting with dignity on the sofa.

"Well... we are..."

Being caught in the act, Colette Wagner felt a bit guilty.

She was just about to explain something.

Dirk Carter suddenly opened the little bag on her back, pulled out a camera, waved it in his hand, and said, "Director Wang, we've captured all of your fun just now."

As soon as he said that.

Everyone froze for a moment.

Colette Wagner looked at Dirk Carter in confusion.

First of all, how did Dirk Carter know there was a camera in her bag?

Secondly, they hadn't taken any photos just now.

Why did he say that?

The woman whom Dirk Carter referred to as Director Wang felt the same.

The calm expression on her face immediately vanished, replaced by panic.

"Do you know who I am?"

The woman asked.

Dirk Carter leisurely pulled over a chair and sat down, deliberately fiddling with the camera, and said, "I remember Director Wang's son is about the same age as the male protagonist here. Don't you think if people outside saw Director Wang indulging in such hobbies, it might affect your work? Might it cause your husband and son to see you differently?"

Faced with such a threat.

The woman became even more unsettled.

She paused, snorted coldly, and said, "Oh really? You two have trespassed into the Work Safety Administration. If I call the police now, neither of you will be able to leave, and as for what's inside your camera, I believe it will eventually end up in my hands."

Colette Wagner originally thought Dirk Carter had the situation under control.

But with that one sentence.

She became nervous again.

She nudged Dirk Carter with her arm, giving him a significant look, seemingly suggesting that running away was the best strategy.

This small gesture was also caught by the woman.

She believed the other party was already feeling guilty.

Leisurely stood up.

And said, "Give me the camera, and I'll let you go. I'll pretend today never happened."

"Hehe, Director Wang, if you want to call the police, be my guest."

Unexpectedly, Dirk Carter refused outright.

Colette Wagner was barely holding it together.

She leaned in and whispered in Dirk Carter's ear, "Don't fight against authority. Just give her the camera; I can just buy another one."

Dirk Carter acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket and stretched it forward, saying, "How about I call the police instead?"

"Kid, since you know who I am, you should also know that you can't beat me. Even if the police come, they'll only listen to me. You should weigh the consequences carefully; by then, I'll have you two arrested for theft, and it will be too late for regrets."

"Theft? On what grounds are you accusing us of theft?"

Dirk Carter asked with a smile.

The woman smiled smugly.

And said, "This is the Work Safety Administration. You don't belong here. Appearing here inexplicably, if not to steal something, then what? Fine, since you're not giving up, I'll call the police."

After saying this.

She walked to the office desk.

Picked up the phone from the desk.

Just as she was about to dial the number.

Dirk Carter said, "What if I am here for work?"

"Work? What kind of work? Even if you're making up an excuse, make it a decent one, okay?"

The woman was unmoved.

She pressed two more "1"s.

Just as she was about to press the final "0".

Dirk Carter slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and said, "Director Wang, I forgot to introduce myself; my name is Dirk Carter!"

The woman's hand suddenly stopped mid-air.

As if a high-voltage current ran through her body, she stood frozen in her tracks.

A few seconds later, she turned to Dirk Carter and asked, "You... are you Director... Director Carter?"

"I said, my name is Dirk Carter."

After hesitating for a while, the woman collapsed into the chair as if her spirit had been drained.

If the man before her was Dirk Carter.

Then her call to the police not only wouldn't have any effect, but as Dirk Carter said, it would mean her scandal would be exposed to the world.

"Who is Dirk Carter? Why does she look a bit off?"

Colette Wagner naturally noticed the woman's change, covering her mouth and whispering.

Dirk Carter smiled and said, "I am the new deputy director you've just mentioned was being oppressed."

"Oh... what?!"

Colette Wagner's mouth dropped open.

She instinctively took a step back, exclaiming, "You tricked me!"

"I didn't trick you; you're the one who dragged me into the storage room, and I never said I was a reporter, right?"

It seemed to make sense.

Realizing she was at fault, Colette Wagner suddenly didn't know what to do.

Originally, she thought she and Dirk Carter were on the same side; now, it turns out Dirk Carter was also from the Work Safety Administration.

"What's your name?"

Dirk Carter asked the young guy who was still in a daze beside him.

The young man was already terrified.

With a trembling voice, he replied, "Callen... Callen Wright, I... I just joined the office."

Dirk Carter patted him on the shoulder.

And said, "Okay, Callen Wright, I'm giving you a task. Take this lady to the archive room. Help her find whatever she needs, can you do that?"

Callen Wright didn't know what to do.

He glanced at Colette Wagner, who he had just been "serving."

Colette Wagner could do nothing but silently nod and say, "You go ahead!"

Thus.

Led by Callen Wright, Colette Wagner also went out.

In the office, only Dirk Carter and Colette Wagner were left.

Who is Colette Wagner?

A member of the Work Safety Administration Party Committee, Head of the Discipline Inspection Team stationed at the Work Safety Administration.

Also one of the main leaders of the Work Safety Administration.

Who would have thought that the director in charge of discipline would do such things in the office?

But it's not surprising.

Women in their thirties are like wolves, forties like tigers.

Colette Wagner happens to be at that energetic age; having some needs is normal.

Men like young beauties; women also like handsome young men.

"Director Wang, what do you think I should do with these photos in the camera?"

Dirk Carter broke the silence and asked.
