A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 51: Exchange of Interests


"You messing with me?"

After looking at the photos, Adair Meyer was instantly ignited.

He shouted at Shane Vincent.

Shane Vincent remained calm.

He smiled and said, "Director Meyer, what are you talking about? What do you mean I'm messing with you? I didn't hold a gun to your head to make you play. Besides, from the photos and videos, it seems Director Meyer was having a great time, interacting quite actively with those two girls. How can you say I'm messing with you?"

"You..."

Adair Meyer was at a loss for words for a moment.

He struggled to control his anxious feelings and asked, "Alright, what do you want?"

"Refreshing! I love dealing with smart people, and Director Meyer, you are indeed smart."

"Speak up, don't dawdle."

Adair Meyer said impatiently.

Shane Vincent was not angry and said leisurely, "Two things. The first thing, next Monday, the Municipal Party Committee's Standing Committee will hold a meeting to determine the candidate for the county head. I've got news that Sherman Summers' promotion to county head is almost finalized."

"So, you want to take the post of Executive Deputy County Head that Sherman Summers will vacate?"

Adair Meyer asked.

Shane Vincent said, "Director Meyer, you also know that I, Shane Vincent, have reached where I am today all through my own efforts. Deputy County Head is already my ceiling. It's impossible to go one step further without someone lifting me up. Juwan Meyer, the vice chairman, has spent his life networking in the city. If..."

At this, Shane Vincent left a hook.

But Adair Meyer understood.

He paused and asked, "So, you want my father to use his connections to promote you?"

"Haha, I think it's not difficult for Director Meyer. As far as I know, Director Meyer is the only child, and your parents love you dearly. If you ask them, they will certainly do their best."

"And if I refuse to help you?"

Adair Meyer asked.

Shane Vincent let out a cold laugh.

He said, "In that case, the result might not be so pleasant. If I, Shane Vincent, don't get the Executive Deputy County Head, that's fine. But I'm afraid Director Meyer's political career... might be over."

"Shane Vincent!"

Adair Meyer had just called out.

Shane Vincent interrupted him.

He said, "Director Meyer, doing this is not without benefits for you. Think about it, once I become Executive Deputy County Head, Director Meyer will naturally have an ally in Stillwater County. I, Zhao, will reciprocate and won't treat Director Meyer badly."

This condition.

It made Adair Meyer calm down a bit.

In officialdom, it is all about exchanging interests, swapping resources.

To put it bluntly, it's just a transaction.

After pondering for a while.

He asked, "And what's the other thing?"

"The other thing is that I need Director Meyer to keep Dirk Carter busy for me."

"When we drank last time, I did everything you asked me to do."

Adair Meyer said.

Shane Vincent smiled slightly and said, "You did, but it wasn't enough. Dirk Carter didn't act, so I still need Director Meyer to give him a strong push."

"If he doesn't act, you can't expect me to hold a knife to his neck to force him, right?"

"Of course not, but there's a way. Director Meyer could issue a document in his name, cutting off water and electricity to the Apex Gardens construction site. By then, even if he doesn't go to find Caleb Ford, I'm afraid Caleb Ford will be the one seeking him out. What do you think?"

Adair Meyer already found Dirk Carter unpleasant.

He also wanted to take him down.

However, forging a document was putting him in a bit of a bind.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Alright, I'll handle both matters for you, but for me, the benefits are still too little. I have one more request. As long as you agree, I'll take care of both matters beautifully."

"You say it, as long as I can do it."

Seeing Adair Meyer agreeing, Shane Vincent maintained a calm expression, but he was excited inside.

"I want to sleep with Sierra Vincent!"

Adair Meyer said, looking at Shane Vincent.

Shane Vincent's face immediately showed displeasure.

Just as he was about to speak, Adair Meyer said, "Rest assured, Deputy County Head Vincent, I just want to sleep with her, I won't harm her. Besides, your daughter, the Heavenly Killer Lone Star, not many men dare to touch her. I'm just trying to humiliate Dirk Carter. If you agree to this, I guarantee you'll secure your position as Executive Deputy County Head."

On the one hand, his only daughter.

On the other hand, the dreamed Executive Deputy County Head position.

The balance tilted for Shane Vincent at the last moment.

He hesitated for a while.

Said, "Alright, I agree."

"Haha, Deputy County Head Vincent, you truly are a fond father. It seems, in your eyes, your daughter is still inferior to your career path."

Adair Meyer said, tauntingly.

Shane Vincent let out a cold laugh and said, "When you reach my position, you'll understand my choice today. Alright, once things are settled, I will hand over both the negatives and the video to you."

Finished talking.

He opened the car door and got out.

Returned to his car.

Shane Vincent pounded the seat hard with his fist.

Muttered, "Adair Meyer, just you wait, when I secure the position of Executive Deputy County Head, watch how I get back at you!"

After venting his anger privately.

He said to the driver, "To the Argent Grand Hotel!"

After the car started.

He dialed Lauren Radford's number.

Said, "You, get to the usual place right now."

Twenty minutes later.

Shane Vincent was already sitting on the couch in the private suite.

When Lauren Radford walked in, trembling, he had already smoked three or four cigarettes in a row.

"Take off your clothes."

Shane Vincent said, expressionless.

He had taken out his anger on Adair Meyer and needed to vent immediately, and the target of his venting was Lauren Radford.

Lauren Radford dared not resist.

She unbuttoned her clothes directly, letting them fall to the ground.

She didn't know what happened, but she had a premonition that tonight, she'd suffer.

"Can I take a shower first?"

Lauren Radford asked.

Shane Vincent glared at her and said, "Five minutes."

Lauren Radford quickly rushed into the bathroom, scanning her body in the mirror.

Her scars had barely healed, and it looks like tonight they would be reopened.

With an unknown courage.

She hurriedly dug out her phone from her bag, edited a message, and sent it out.

This message was her hope.

If no one came to save her, she would have to endure it.

Less than five minutes later.

Lauren Radford came out naked.

By this time, Shane Vincent had already undressed himself.

Pointing to a chair in the living room, he said, "Sit on it!"

As before, Lauren Radford obediently sat down.

Shane Vincent opened the nearby cupboard and took out a long rope.

Then.

He used the rope to tie the naked Lauren Radford to the chair, deliberately making her spread her legs wide and securing them with the rope.

After finishing all this.

Shane Vincent held a whip in his hand.
