57: I think Liang Yan still retains her charm.

"Oh? What can Director Liang do to help me?"

Zhang Yu smiled. "After all, you are just a person in charge of Culture and Tourism."

"Mr. Zhang, to be honest." Liang Yan gave a charming smile, "That is true for now, but in two months, it might not be."

"What if I don't agree?" Zhang Yu asked.

"It's fine if you don't agree. However, it won't be easy for your company to operate in Jiangcheng. Your company will have to frequently welcome fire safety, security, and various other inspections. But I believe your company can withstand scrutiny."

As Liang Yan spoke, she crossed her arms again.

She had an air of absolute confidence.

When Liang Yan saw Zhang Yu online, she started having ideas.

She used some methods to find his contact information.

It had been a long time since she felt such a strong possessiveness toward someone.

Furthermore.

Her aging husband had lost his function many years ago.

For her, who was still young, this was naturally not a good thing.

"What is that calligraphy hanging on the wall—'Slut'?" At this moment, Zhang Yu noticed a piece of calligraphy on her office wall and changed the subject.

"What are you saying?" Liang Yan's expression changed. "That reads 'Magnanimous'!"

"To me, it clearly says 'Slut'," Zhang Yu said, looking at her and smiling.

"Right. Are you trying to say that you are about to be appointed as the city's top figure, and everything will be decided by you?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu asked another question in return.

"That's right." Liang Yan nodded, suddenly realizing something, and her expression changed instantly. "You guessed this?"

This news had only just been decided.

The decision was only made among the high-level officials.

So even if there were rumors spreading, they wouldn't spread this quickly.

Anyone who knew about it would have a very high rank.

He was merely a businessman. But judging by his demeanor, he didn't seem to be guessing wildly.

"It's more than that."

Zhang Yu grinned again. "I also know many of your secrets."

"Secrets?" Liang Yan was stunned, but her expression remained calm. "Stop trying to fool me. What secrets of mine could you possibly know?"

"Then I'll tell you two. If you think what I say is false, you can deal with me however you wish."

Zhang Yu's expression grew serious.

"What are you trying to say?" Liang Yan suddenly realized that she couldn't figure out Zhang Yu!

The psychological advantage she had moments ago instantly vanished.

"Two people played key roles in you achieving your current status. One was your former father-in-law, and the other is your current husband. The times were seven years ago and three years ago, respectively. Am I wrong?"

Zhang Yu said this sentence.

Liang Yan's face visibly darkened!

Although there were occasional rumors in the market that she had attained her position improperly.

They were all baseless speculation, lacking clear evidence, and certainly didn't point to specific people or dates.

The only people who knew these things were herself and the parties involved.

How did he know?

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liang Yan struggled to maintain her composure. "My resume is completely legal and compliant."

"Speaking of compliance." Zhang Yu smiled again. "Your university degree is also fake. You spent a fortune bribing a director at the school."

"How, how do you know?"

Liang Yan still held a thread of hope just now.

Now she realized that no matter what she said, he had a response ready to counter her. It was terrifying.

"So, Director Liang."

Zhang Yu laughed, "From beginning to end, the only thing real about you is the person; your resume is fake, and your ascent was achieved through improper means. Can you withstand an investigation?"

His words struck her like a thunderclap!

Liang Yan suddenly stood up, feeling the blood rush to her head.

She nearly lost her balance.

She braced her hands on the desk, barely managing to maintain her equilibrium.

"You, how exactly do you know all this! Have you been investigating me?" Liang Yan couldn't figure out where the leak was.

That allowed Zhang Yu to know so many things.

"That's not important. What is important," Zhang Yu gestured, "is that you are completely within my grasp."

"Mr. Zhang, what exactly are you trying to achieve by saying all this?"

Liang Yan felt her voice trembling.

Just moments ago, she had treated Zhang Yu like a sheep.

It turned out his true nature was that of a wolf.

Just a few words had struck her Achilles' heel.

She could no longer resist; she was paralyzed.

Zhang Yu was truly unfathomable.

"So, you should know what to do."

By this point, Zhang Yu had completely gained the upper hand.

This information was all provided by the System. If he just flipped back a few pages, there would be even more explosive news about her.

This information was enough to utterly ruin a person.

Using this information to control her was incredibly easy.

"Mr. Zhang, I was wrong."

Liang Yan began to show weakness. "Just pretend I was joking. From now on in Jiangcheng, I will fully cooperate with your company. Just say whatever support you need..."

"Who believes verbal promises?"

Zhang Yu smiled and walked forward.

"Mr. Zhang, you..."

"Didn't you have designs on me?" Zhang Yu gently pushed her. "I think you are still quite charming, so I'll grudgingly take the loss."

Then, Liang Yan was pressed down onto her office desk.

Right in front of the desk, there was a brown photo frame.

Inside the frame was a family photo of her and her relatives.

Everyone was smiling brightly.

Looking from the current perspective, under the gaze of her family in the photo, she actually...
