Chapter 849

"The company just opened, and since the old Zhang family happens to be in Xijing City, I just had Huihui come over from Yuyang to manage the company's affairs. It's also convenient for her to see her family more often," Lin Dafa said with a chuckle.

Zheng Tulu said with a chuckle, "That's good, that's good. Old Lin, you've also entered the real estate business now. With your two families joining forces, you'll basically occupy half of the real estate industry in Xijing City."

Zhang Jiayin and Lin Dafa chimed in with laughter. Zheng Tulu secretly glanced at the beautiful and charming Zhang Hui again; her coquettish appearance vaguely reminded him of Lan Mei after she had been drugged with aphrodisiacs that night. This led Zheng Tulu to think of Lan Mei, and with wicked thoughts in his mind, he stood up and said, "Old Zhang, Old Lin, you two chat first, I'm going to the restroom."

"Director Zheng, take your time." Lin Dafa immediately stood up with a knowing look to help him pull back his chair and steady the slightly tipsy Zheng Tulu. "Director Zheng, shall I help you?"

"No need." Zheng Tulu waved his hand, turned, and walked out of the private room. As he walked toward the restroom, he took out his phone and sent a lewd message to Lan Mei.

At this moment, Lan Mei had just finished showering and was lying in bed wearing a pink silk camisole. Her phone buzzed a few times on the nightstand. She picked it up and saw it was from Zheng Tulu. The status bar at the top of the screen scrolled the message content: *Little Lan, I really want to do that with you tonight. You must still be reminiscing about that night, right? I'll call you when I'm done here, and we'll play to our hearts' content all night. *

*Shameless! * Lan Mei frowned, typed two words back, and angrily tossed the phone onto the nightstand. Just thinking of Zheng Tulu's sanctimonious face made her furious.

Zheng Tulu entered the restroom and sat down. Seeing her reply of "Shameless," a cunning smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He unhurriedly selected a full-body nude photo of Lan Mei from his album—one where she was splayed open, revealing her "White Tiger" region—and sent it to her via MMS.

Sure enough, a moment later, Lan Mei called directly. Zheng Tulu smiled cunningly and pressed the green button to answer. As soon as the call connected, Lan Mei's extremely agitated voice came through: "What exactly do you want!"

"I want to do what we did that night at the Prince Hotel," Zheng Tulu said with a slow, treacherous laugh.

"In your dreams!" Lan Mei retorted aggressively and without hesitation over the phone.

Zheng Tulu wasn't angry at all. He hummed a laugh, a lewd smile on his face, and said unhurriedly, "Little Lan, I hope you'll come when I call you later, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable."

"You beast, you're not even as good as an animal! Don't even think about it. What can you do to me if I don't agree!" Lan Mei retorted sharply, refusing to back down.

Zheng Tulu hummed a laugh and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll make those photos of yours public?"

"You... you're despicable! Shameless!" Lan Mei shouted, her voice trembling with agitation.

"How can you call this despicable and shameless? Little Lan, why can't you understand? You don't have a man, and you have needs; I have needs too. As long as you listen to me, your path at work will be much smoother. If you don't listen, I'll post your photos on the internet and let millions of netizens see what Little Lan looks like completely naked. How beautiful, how much like that Zhang Bozhi who was circulating online a while ago." Zheng Tulu spoke slowly, using both soft and hard tactics. This year just happened to be when the "Erotic Photo Gate" broke out, and the old guy had learned that trick, not forgetting to keep some exciting photos as a souvenir while possessing Lan Mei.

Zheng Tulu's words were sharp and piercing. Lan Mei was so angry she felt choked, and she lashed out in a frenzy: "Zheng Liangyu, you really are a beast, not a man! You... you're not even as good as a dog!"

Zheng Tulu was unmoved by her angry cursing. He hummed a laugh and said calmly, "Little Lan, you're wrong about that. If I weren't a man, how could you have been so blissfully out of your mind that night? Look at how you look in the photos—so seductive, so charming, so lost in ecstasy. Tsk tsk tsk, it must have been very satisfying, right?"

"Beast! You... you... don't think you'll get away with this! I will report you! I will make sure a piece of trash like you in the national cadre system is sanctioned by the organization!" Lan Mei cursed, breathless with rage.

"Heh heh, Lan Mei, aren't you being a bit too naive? Do you think you can report me? Fang Jun is being investigated now; no man can help you. Besides, what evidence do you have to report me? Would people believe a woman's word? With my connections, don't daydream about taking me down. Instead, I have those exciting photos of you. If you're smart, do as I say, otherwise I'll make those photos public and make it impossible for you, Lan Mei, to face anyone!" Zheng Tulu's tone gradually turned ruthless, trying to use those photos to threaten Lan Mei into submission.

Zheng Tulu's vicious words pierced Lan Mei's fragile heart like needles. She was a woman, a woman who cared deeply about her reputation. Facing such a threat, she wavered, not knowing what to say.

"Director Zheng, Director Zheng..." Lin Dafa walked into the restroom and called out. Zheng Tulu had been away from the private room for too long, and Lin Dafa had come to find him, fearing he might have drunk too much and passed out in the restroom.

Hearing someone calling him, Zheng Tulu lowered his voice and said to Lan Mei, "Wait for my call later. If you don't come tonight, you'll see what happens!" After threatening Lan Mei, he hung up and responded cheerfully to the outside, "Old Lin, what's up?"

Hearing Zheng Tulu's voice coming from the last stall, Lin Dafa stepped forward and stood outside the door, saying, "Director Zheng, are you alright? You've been in here for so long, Old Zhang and I were a bit worried you'd had too much to drink."

Zheng Tulu laughed and said, "I'm fine." He immediately stood up, pulled up his pants, opened the door, and walked out. Lin Dafa followed him with a smile, and after he washed his hands, they returned to the private room together.

After sitting back down, Zhang Hui stood up, served Zheng Tulu a bowl of hot soup, handed it to him with both hands, and said with a coquettish smile, "Director Zheng, have some soup to sober up."

"Oh." Zheng Tulu's eyes widened, shining as he looked at Zhang Hui. He smiled brilliantly, immediately took the bowl she offered, picked up a spoon, and drank a few mouthfuls. Perhaps because the soup was delicious, or perhaps because it was served by Zhang Hui, Zheng Tulu felt this bowl of soup was more refreshing and nourishing than anything he usually drank. ===== CHAPTER 850 =====
