After Guan Lei left the prison, he drove back to the city district of H by car and went to a cosmetics store.

Xuanxuan, a 27 or 28-year-old female boss in this store, is Guan Lei's mistress. She has been with Guan Lei since college and has not found a boyfriend after graduation. Later, because her application was not smooth, Guan Lei successfully helped her pay to join a cosmetics brand and opened a store for her.

Guan Lei has a wife and his children are in college, but because the two get married too early and their wife is the daughter of ordinary people introduced by relatives. In addition, the other party has a low level of education, so the relationship between the couple is not good. Guan Lei does not go home when he is busy, and does not go back much when he is free. In life, he has no common language except for children.

After returning to the store, Xuanxuan made a basin of hot water for Guan Lei. While helping him tidy up his clothes, she asked softly: "Why do I feel that you are not in a good mood these days?"

Guan Lei sat beside the bed, frowned and replied: "It's not going well."

"Why is it not going well? Tell me!" Xuanxuan asked casually.

"Oh." Guan Lei lit a cigarette and sighed and said, "You know my situation. In the past few years, the entire city bureau has not found anyone who is better than me, but I have no background and no way. Even if I work as a captain, I will have to talk to someone if I want to go up, so I am not on the side of the Peng family?"

"I know this." Xuanxuan nodded.

"When the Peng family first helped me, they didn't ask for anything... But now am I coming up? They are starting to repay me." Guan Lei said tiredly: "I told you about Jiang Guangnan's case. It's quite difficult to deal with, but now Xiao Peng is forcing me to operate him. As for me, I can't agree."

Xuanxuan was silent.

"My political achievements were made by myself. They actually said a few words for me at a critical moment... But just these two words, I don't know when it will be." Guan Lei sucked the cigarette and sighed again.

"It is inevitable to do this kind of thing within the system. I advised you to either appoint and honestly do your job and take the team. If you want to take the team, you will be prepared to be controlled in the future." Xuanxuan whispered: "I don't think you have to get angry. Things are already like this, and it's useless for you to be confused."

After thinking for a while, Guan Lei looked up at Xuanxuan and continued, "Actually, I have a bargaining chip in my hand now. If I use it, I will offend a very powerful company, but I will get new resources from the Peng family! Didn't I tell you before? Wang Shuang, director of the DL branch, is about to resign. My age and qualifications may take over his position. As long as I work in this position, my next step is to join the municipal bureau, become the top leader, and take over the political and legal committee secretary."

Xuanxuan packed up her things and said nothing.

"...This move has a lot of benefits, but it is also a lot of risk if it doesn't work well." Guan Lei said softly: "I don't know if I should do it."

"You ask me, you actually want to do it." Xuanxuan replied without hesitation.

Guan Lei was stunned when he heard the sound.

"Although you always tell me about your work, I don't know much about it." Xuanxuan continued to add: "But you should know whether the desire in your heart can make you take risks."

Guan Lei smoked and continued to ponder.

"My suggestion is that even if you want to help Xiao Peng and offend that company, don't take the initiative to mention it at this time." Xuanxuan said with a smile: "This thing is like doing business. The one who needs to negotiate a contract first is often on the weak side... Since your trump card is revealed, you must give it a hand to help them when Xiao Peng and the others are most uncomfortable. This is how timely help."

"You're right." Guan Lei nodded.

"At that time, it will be much easier for you to talk to Xiao Peng about promotion." Xuanxuan added.

"Well, I'm thinking about it." Guan Lei held a cigarette in his mouth, started taking off his clothes, and preparing to take a shower.

In fact, the relationship between Xuanxuan and Guan Lei is not just sex, nor is it a social phenomenon of simply keeping mistresses. Because Guan Lei is a very cautious person and it is difficult to trust others, so he is unwilling to tell others about some things in his daily life. Only Xuanxuan is willing to listen to them and help him come up with some ideas. Although sometimes these ideas are not necessarily correct, Guan Lei is always a person who speaks.

After the two of them chatted, Guan Lei lay on the bed and began to ponder. He didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze.

In his dream, he was sitting on the rostrum, speaking as the director of the DL District Branch. The flashlight in the room was bright, as if he was the only protagonist in this world.

...

A woman's prison.

A haggard woman was lying on the bed, recalling what Guan Lei said to her.

"I might be able to help you do it."

“But there are conditions!”

"You have evidence of his crime in your hand, and this is the only bargaining chip you can get out."

"Don't have any fantasies about him. Have he ever taken care of you for so many years? Has Lao Jiu ever taken care of you?"

"You are just a victim, you must understand this deeply!"

"You think about it carefully, and I think about it too."

“…!”

Guan Lei's words were heard again, and the woman remembered a man's figure in her mind, and suddenly shed tears.

Nearly ten years of prison life have shattered all her beautiful fantasies. She has exhausted the best years of a woman here and missed countless beautiful scenery in the world.

But what about that man? Maybe he had forgotten himself outside, right?

Maybe what Guan Lei said is right...

...

Inside the Oriental Charming Nightclub.

Xiaofu led three men and four women into the private room.

"Oh, rich boy, let me introduce you to it. This is...my stepfather...oh, no, it is my friend, Li Changliang!" Pengpeng stood up and said, "Brother Liang, this is my brother, Xiaofu!"

"Hello, hello." Li Changliang stood up and stretched out his hand.

Xiaofu sniffed and shook Li Changliang: "Hello!"

"Haha, I heard Pengpeng talk about you a long time ago, and I haven't had the chance to meet you. Come on, come on, sit down!" Li Changliang greeted everyone, "Everyone sit down too."

Xiaofu sat in the head when he heard the sound, crossed his legs and asked Pengpeng: "What's the situation?"

"My friend came back from abroad and just opened a real estate company. I want to meet you." Pengpeng smiled.

"Ah!" Xiaofu nodded and smiled: "That's the big boss."

"He is not the boss behind the scenes. I heard that he used to be with Shen Y, Shen Tianze, so I don't know who invested in this company." Pengpeng explained: "But he is quite generous and very good at it. It's okay if you contact him, haha."

"What did you say? He used to play with that Chen Tianze?" Xiaofu asked with a frown.

"It seems, what's wrong?" Pengpeng asked back.

At this moment, Li Changliang poured two glasses of foreign wine, smiled and said, "Brother Rich, I'll give you a glass of pride!"

Xiaofu glanced at Li Changliang, reached out and pushed the wine he gave him to the side, with his eyelids drooping, and intervened and replied: "I won't drink!"

Pengpeng was stunned.
