Chapter 83: The Formidable Tan Lingli

  Tan Lingli was very dissatisfied with her assignment.

  At first, Tan Lingli helped Cai Juanhua and Liu Hong, thinking that when the time came for distribution, she could rely on Liu Hong's father and Zheng Yuxin's father to at least be assigned to Xilin City. Who knew that when it really came time for distribution, Tan Lingli discovered that she was too naive and didn't know whether Cai Juanhua and Luo Ling had forgotten about this matter or if Liu Hong and Zheng Yuxin hadn't mentioned it, but in any case, no one helped Tan Lingli.

  Tan Lingli's parents were honest and down-to-earth people, without any connections. As a result, Tan Lingli was assigned to the most remote district of Hanzhong. What's more, as a graduate of the journalism department, she should have at least entered the broadcasting bureau or TV station, or even the cultural bureau at worst. However, Tan Lingli was directly assigned to the street office, where her daily work consisted of following the street officials to visit residents' homes and doing some trivial tasks. The street office is considered the most grassroots unit, and Tan Lingli was like a temporary handyman, having to do all sorts of small chores.

  Han Zhong district is far from Tan Lingli's home, taking the public bus requires more than two hours, so Tan Lingli can't go back home every day. When she just started working, there were many things to do, Tan Lingli could only temporarily set up a bed in the office of the business unit, at night she had to be careful not to oversleep, in the morning when she woke up, she had to quickly tidy up the bedding, when everyone came to the office, inside it had to be clean and tidy. When the business unit had overtime, Tan Lingli would suffer, busy until late at night, others went home, Tan Lingli still had to temporarily set up a bed. Tan Lingli often thought about her own experience, in the middle of the night she secretly cried, Liu Hong and Zheng Yuxin's days were so comfortable, but she had to endure hardship in the business unit, not knowing when she could get through it.

  Such days lasted for nearly half a year, and later, the director of the office found a way to arrange a dormitory for Tan Lingli, and Tan Lingli finally didn't have to pack up every day with bated breath.

  Tan Lingli comes from an ordinary family, deeply understanding the hardships of ordinary people. Without a background or any reliance, she has no capital to be proud of. As a university student, if others think you're capable, then you are; otherwise, the title of university student only brings trouble. In her daily work, Tan Lingli is very obedient and never complains about being tired. Due to her obedience, she gained praise from the officials in the office, and gradually, her workload became lighter, no longer busy from dawn till dusk every day. Because of Tan Lingli's obedience, the director of the office eventually helped solve her housing problem.

  In the workplace, Tan Lingli was very good at observing and understanding the importance of power. The secretary and director of the office had a relatively easy job, not having to do much specific work, with their main task being attending meetings. Whenever there were meetings upstairs, the two would attend, and whatever work needed to be done in the office would also involve holding meetings to assign tasks. There were 15 cadres in total in the office, a moderate-sized team, all dealing with trivial matters. When disputes arose between neighbors, they would come to the office for mediation. Tan Lingli personally witnessed cases where cadres were unable to mediate, but as soon as the secretary stepped in, the issue was quickly resolved. It wasn't because of any particular reason or because the secretary had a good solution, but simply because the secretary was the leader.

  Tan Lingli was not reconciled, at first, she helped Liu Hong and got Zheng Yuxin. Now, the Liu family and the Zheng family have forgotten her kindness after they succeeded, working in the office has no future prospects. Two older sisters who work with Tan Lingli in the same office have been working for almost 20 years, but still the same, judging from their usual performance, they are almost no different from ordinary residents. Tan Lingli absolutely does not want to become like that in the future.

  Tan Lingli's appearance is ordinary, and she wants to solve her current predicament by finding a good husband. However, the possibility of this happening is small. Working at the neighborhood committee office, where can she meet an excellent boyfriend? Usually, she faces residents, and there are many social youths, Tan Lingli won't take them seriously.

  After a long period of contemplation, Tan Lingli set her sights on Liu Hong. She was very clear about Liu Hong's situation - he was now the head of a department in the municipal government and had a bright future ahead of him. Tan Lingli had self-awareness and would not think of marrying Liu Hong. Compared to Zheng Yuxin, she was like heaven and earth apart, but Tan Lingli wanted to grasp Liu Hong, at least to help herself escape her current predicament and move into a better environment.

  Tan Lingli has been looking for opportunities, and she has collaborated with Liu Hong twice. She knows that Liu Hong is a formidable opponent, who has a mind of his own and can control his emotions well. Generally, it's hard to tell what he's thinking. In college, Liu Hong framed Xu Shaojie, and after the incident was exposed, he remained calm and composed, appearing very innocent. After that incident, Tan Lingli had great admiration for Liu Hong, who indeed received good education and upbringing from a young age.

  Liu Hong is almost always with Zheng Yuxin, Tan Lingli can't find an opportunity, Zheng Yuxin's change in attitude, Tan Lingli knows, the two best friends, now face and heart are not together, Tan Lingli thinks all this, is caused by Liu Hong, so, Liu Hong must compensate her.

  The opportunity finally came, Xilin University was on holiday, and the school organized some teachers to travel outside, Zheng Yuxin was also on the list. Originally, Zheng Yuxin didn't want to go out, but now that the new house had been renovated, it would take some time to buy electrical appliances, plus Liu Hong supported her going out to relax, this opportunity was great, to go out and see the world, Liu Hong also said, while outside, they could look for good decorative items and buy some back. With this in mind, Zheng Yuxin agreed, two days after the holiday started, she followed the school's teachers on a trip, this time the travel lasted almost a month.

  After Zheng Yuxin left, Liu Hong felt a sense of loneliness and also a hint of freedom. His parents' control over him was relatively relaxed, as he was already an adult who should have his own friends and personal space. Always following his parents made it difficult for him to be independent. Therefore, they generally didn't ask about Liu Hong's actions. Sometimes when Liu Hong worked overtime and came home late, Liu Zhiwen wouldn't ask, nor would he require Cai Juanhua to ask. Liu Zhiwen was well aware that in the officialdom, struggling without a few good friends and some help, the probability of success was too small.

  It was the weekend, Liu Hong and several colleagues from his unit had agreed to go out for dinner together after work. Liu Hong called Liu Zhiwen in advance, who supported him and entrusted him to take the initiative to invite everyone out and not be stingy with money. Liu Hong smiled and agreed, as he had already planned to do so anyway.

  After work, several people came to the restaurant together. Such gatherings wouldn't take place in a large hotel - it's not cost-effective and the expenses are high, completely unnecessary. They were all colleagues from the same unit, familiar with each other, occasionally participating in receptions. So, without much ado, after entering the restaurant, the boss mysteriously introduced that they had excellent deer antler wine, everyone cheered in unison, ordered it, and drank the deer antler wine, which is highly nutritious. Several people were already married, forgetting that Liu Hong wasn't yet, but at this point, no one cared.

  When drinking, the atmosphere is very harmonious. The deer antler wine has a slightly red color, perhaps it's been brewed for a long time, and it's very refreshing to drink. Among colleagues, when drinking, they emphasize "keeping pace with each other", no one drinks less, everyone is the same. The weather was already very hot, everyone took off their shirts, blowing electric fans while eating hot pot and drinking deer antler wine, without knowing how much they drank, a small jar of three kilograms of deer antler wine was finished.

  Two hours later, dinner was over and Liu Hong paid the bill first. Although eating at a small restaurant didn't cost much, it was still a significant amount relative to everyone's salary. The crowd drank a lot of wine, loudly cheered and praised Liu Hong for being generous, promising to take care of him in the future. There wouldn't be any activities tonight, everyone knew that unless it was an expense paid by the company, personal entertainment expenses were not allowed yet.

  After the crowd dispersed, Liu Hong walked alone on the street, slowly getting drunk. He was a drinker, but today he felt something was off, his whole body feeling hot and excited, just wanting to vent. Earlier when they were drinking, everyone was laughing and talking about the benefits of Lu Rong wine, Liu Hong didn't pay much attention, thinking it was exaggerated, so while drinking, he didn't control himself. Now, he's starting to feel some trouble, maybe the Lu Rong wine is taking effect.

  "Liu Hong, long time no see."

  Liu Hong, who was a bit dizzy and excited, lowered his head without noticing. Hearing the sound, Liu Hong raised his head to see Tan Lingli standing in front of him. It took him a while to come back to himself.

  "Oh, it's Tan Lingli, hello, long time no see."

  "Liu Hong, I heard you're getting married to Zheng Yuxin. Don't forget to invite me when the time comes."

  "That's unavoidable, you and Zheng Yuxin are the best of friends, we will definitely invite you, at that time, you must come, I was thinking of inviting you as a guest too."

  "Hehe, I'll remember what you said, and I'll definitely be your guest at that time."

  Unconsciously, the two walked side by side on the main street.

  "Liu Hong, I heard your new house decoration is done, I'd like to visit and learn from it, you won't object, will you?"

  "Whatever you say, we welcome you to come and see whenever you like. When Yixin comes back, we'll take you there."

  "Hehe, I think today is quite suitable, weekend, nothing to do, let's go take a look. I work in Hanzhong District, usually no time, you can inform Zheng Yuxin, we'll go take a look now."

  "Zheng Yuxin is not at home, she went on a school-organized tour."

  "Then take me there and have a look, or you can call Zheng Yuxin and ask for instructions."

  "Tan Lingli, you're kidding me! Zheng Yuxin is traveling, where am I supposed to call her? Isn't it just going inside to take a look? I'll take you with me right now."

  The two got into the taxi, at this moment, Liu Hong felt his body getting hotter and hotter, that feeling was unbearable, but facing Tan Lingli, Liu Hong couldn't expose it, he felt a bit dizzy, the impulsive feeling kept impacting his brain.

  After entering the new house, Tammy Lingli kept exclaiming, and the decoration in the house was indeed very good.

  After entering the master bedroom, standing between the two lamps, Liu Hong couldn't help but think of his intimate moments with Zheng Yuxin, and his lower body involuntarily swelled up.

  "Wow, it's so hot in this room."

  Tan Lingli was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and for some reason, she pulled out the short-sleeved shirt that was tied under her skirt, and at the same time, she unbuttoned the two buttons on top. Tan Lingli's chest was much more developed than Zheng Yuxin's, and from the gap in the shirt, you could vaguely see the snow-white skin outside the bra. Liu Hong felt his mouth dry and his tongue parched, and his impulsive feeling became even stronger. Tan Lingli intentionally or unintentionally leaned closer to Liu Hong, asking about decoration issues with her mouth, while Liu Hong's heart was not in it, answering distractedly, with all his attention focused on Tan Lingli's chest, which was really attractive.

  "Oh no..."

  Tan Lingli suddenly slid down, Liu Hong involuntarily reached out to support Tan Lingli, and this time, he almost wrapped Tan Lingli in his arms. Tan Lingli's chest was pressed against his chest, and Liu Hong felt that Tan Lingli's body was so soft and warm. At this moment, he lost control of himself, and his hand stretched towards Tan Lingli's chest.

  Tang Lingli did not resist, but twisted her body, as if to avoid it, which further aroused Liu Hong's libido. Liu Hong no longer cared about anything else, quickly unbuttoned Tang Lingli's blouse, pulled down her bra, and a snow-white breast appeared before his eyes, so full and plump. Liu Hong couldn't help but let out a moan, his hands pressed against the full breasts. At this moment, Tang Lingli no longer dodged, letting Liu Hong hold her, knead her breasts, and soon Liu Hong's hands began to move downwards, towards Tang Lingli's lower body. When Liu Hong's hand reached into her skirt, into her shorts, Tang Lingli's body trembled slightly.

  Liu Hong quickly pulled down Tang Lingli's shorts. At this moment, Liu Hong thought of nothing but venting, desperately venting. He roughly pushed Tang Lingli against the wall, lifted her skirt, and his lower body had already swollen. Liu Hong didn't think about being gentle; he roughly entered Tang Lingli's body, completely ignoring her painful expression. Liu Hong desperately thrust, feeling like he had never been so exhilarated or lasted so long. It was as if he had conquered the entire world, and nothing else mattered. His hands grasped Tang Lingli's breasts without stopping their movement. After an unknown amount of time, amidst Tang Lingli's moans, Liu Hong finally released. In that instant, Liu Hong felt himself floating in mid-air; Tang Lingli looked incredibly beautiful in his eyes.

  Tan Lingli quietly tidied up her clothes, while Liu Hong had already sobered up a bit. He stared blankly, wondering why he had done such a thing earlier. Liu Hong didn't know what to say for himself.
