Chapter 98

Zhao Desan widened his eyes in surprise and opened his mouth: "Ah?" He thought to himself, if she gave birth to it, what would she call Tingting? Sister or Aunt? And he had this kind of relationship with Tingting too? Zhao Desan felt it was all so chaotic—mother and daughter both maintaining this kind of relationship with him. It felt a bit like incest, but he found this complex, intertwined relationship very satisfying.

Ma Lan chuckled charmingly: "Sister is just joking. I wouldn't dare give birth to it; you aren't Sister's husband, after all."

Zhao Desan felt relieved and gave a ghostly smile: "Then what are you to me?"

Ma Lan knitted her brows and thought for a moment before saying, "Let's call it lovers, or boyfriend and girlfriend, but there's quite a gap in our ages, you know."

Zhao Desan laughed "Hehe" and said, "Height isn't a gap, and age isn't a distance. Look at us—aren't we currently as close as water and milk?"

Ma Lan smiled flirtatiously: "If you don't think it's a distance, then fine. After Sister finishes a big task, you can marry me. How about that?"

Seeing that she was joking, Zhao Desan said casually, "Alright." He thought to himself, how could that be possible? He had developed a bit of affection for Ma Lan, but he couldn't possibly marry a woman that much older than him. Besides, he was still maintaining a physical relationship with her daughter—how could such a relationship exist!

Ma Lan chuckled lightly: "Alright, take it out; it's gone soft." As her body shrank back, the limp thing slid out. "Go wash up." Only then did she stand up and unbutton her long trench coat. On her upper body, only a soft, black silk shirt remained, the hem just long enough to cover her powdered buttocks. She was truly full of charm, sexy and enchanting.

Zhao Desan smiled wickedly, appreciating the wonderful process of her undressing; it was even more intoxicating than the battle itself. Her gentle hands pinched the buttons on the shirt, one by one, and the soft shirt slowly slid down from her fragrant shoulders, bit by bit, hanging smoothly along her arms until, finally, her two jade rabbits popped out. The process was truly beautiful, alluring, and a feast for the eyes.

The big task Ma Lan spoke of was not winning the bid for one of the two coal mines planned for Baishui Town, but rather swallowing up the Lin family's mining industry, crushing them, leaving their family broken and dead, and letting Lin Jianyang experience that kind of miserable bitterness.

Meanwhile, in the Shenfu County Committee under Yulin City, Lin Jianyang, who had graduated from the Hexi Political Science and Law University seventeen years ago, had enjoyed a smooth official career for over a decade thanks to the powerful network of his father, Lin Dafa. From a small court staffer upon graduation, he had risen to the position of Secretary-General of the Shenfu County Committee Office, holding great power in Shenfu County and possessing quite a bit of influence.

In Baishui Town, under the jurisdiction of Shenfu County, the mining rights had not yet been put up for public tender, but he had already followed Lin Dafa's instructions to pull strings locally and prepare for the villagers' preliminary relocation work.

Lin Jianyang did not expect that the current Ma Lan was a hidden coal tycoon in Yulin City; he had only heard of such a female coal boss but had never met her. Ma Lan was not called Ma Lan in college; she was called Ren Caixia. For the sake of this revenge plan, she had changed her name upon graduation, thinned her face, and had a nose job. She was a completely different person from the Cinderella Ren Caixia of the Hexi Political Science and Law University, and no one would recognize her.

The two coal mines in Baishui Town to be opened for public tender were named "Xiaogou Coal Mine" and "Heihe Coal Mine," located in two adjacent large villages.

Due to the boost from the coal economy in recent years, Shenfu County's economic development had entered the top 100 counties in the country, but the county town's planning and construction level were backward, the streets were dilapidated, and the most developed industries were hair salons, saunas, and hotel nightclubs. Hair salons and saunas were places miners often frequented, while hotel nightclubs were where coal bosses entertained local officials. A small county town was crowded with enchantresses and beauties from all over.

In the streets of this dilapidated county town, if you see luxury cars, don't be surprised. In this small county rich in coal resources, there are too many small coal bosses hiding.

In the VIP box of the Candy Nightclub in the middle of the most prosperous Fourth Road in Shenfu County, the thirty-three-year-old County Committee Secretary-General Lin Jianyang sat leaning against the sofa, with a scantily clad, heavily made-up young lady leaning against him on each side.

The Mayor of Baishui Town respectfully lit the Zhonghua cigarette dangling from Lin Jianyang's mouth, sat down, and said with a fawning smile, "Secretary Lin, do you think your father has a good chance of winning these two mines?"

Lin Jianyang sneered, "Mayor Wang, what do you think? With my father's connections in Yulin City and our family's economic strength, I can't guarantee winning the mining rights for both wells, but winning one is definitely a sure thing! The relocation work in Heihe Village and Xiaogou Village will still depend on you, Mayor Wang!"

Mayor Wang nodded with a face full of smiles, "Secretary Lin, don't worry about this. I have already gathered the heads of the two villages for a meeting and given them a heads-up. As soon as there is news on your end and the approval documents come down, I will immediately organize the relocation work! However, the villagers in those two villages have all heard that a mine is going to be opened there, and everyone is thinking about making a fortune from the relocation work. I estimate the relocation will be quite difficult!"

Lin Jianyang sneered dismissively, "Difficult? I believe most villagers are still law-abiding. As for the very few nail-households and extremists who open their mouths like lions—humph! I think you surely know how to resolve that, Mayor Wang."

Mayor Wang nodded, "That's right, that's right. Individual problems should be treated individually!"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Lin Jianyang's mouth as he said, "Come, Mayor Wang, let's drink!" The young lady beside him hurriedly presented him with a glass of wine with both hands. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
