Let them offer their loyalty!

Upon hearing Liu Fuping's words, Qiu Tu was startled.

He couldn't help but look up at Liu Fuping, "You're going to take up a post in Dongye State?"

Seeing Qiu Tu's surprise, a smile curled up at the corner of Liu Fuping's mouth. She said with a smile, "Yes."

"After all, my parents have built up a bit of a business in the Planning Area over the years. I also have some connections in the Sanctuary."

"Plus with Director Liu's support, my transfer to a state position shouldn't be a problem."

Qiu Tu let out a hiss, then said, "I didn't expect that. Your transfer feels like it's going to shoot you straight to the top."

"Next time I see you, I might have to address you as my superior, right?"

Liu Fuping covered her mouth and snickered, then teasingly slanted her eyes, "That might just be the case."

She reached out to hook Qiu Tu's chin, then said with a hint of flirtation, "So... little man, you'd better sweet-talk me properly."

"Otherwise, I might make things difficult for you when the time comes."

Hearing Liu Fuping's words, Qiu Tu too was amused.

He lowered his head to bite her finger, like an onion stalk, then chuckled, "I might not be good at many things, but... I'm quite adept at taking care of my superiors."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping burst into a giggling fit, her laughter causing her chest to quiver uncontrollably, nearly blurring Qiu Tu's vision.

Qiu Tu simply couldn't be bothered with eating anymore. He stood up and moved next to Liu Fuping.

After her laughter, Liu Fuping looked at Qiu Tu with a blank face, not understanding what was happening.

Qiu Tu said, "Get up."

As soon as Liu Fuping heard this, her face blushed slightly as if realizing something, and then she stood up.

Qiu Tu then took her seat and stretched out his arms to hug her, lifting her onto his lap.

After that, while stroking Liu Fuping's legs that were smooth as creamy jade, he praised, "Nice! This is how you enjoy a meal!"

"Shameless!" Seeing Qiu Tu's free-spirited demeanor, Liu Fuping laughed so hard she was shaking like a leaf.

Sitting on Qiu Tu's lap, she busied herself serving him food while saying, "By the way, the Bureau Chief contacted me today and made it a point to thank you."

"He said he owes you a big favor, and if there's ever anything he can do for you, just let him know."

While caressing Liu Fuping's slender legs, Qiu Tu spoke nonchalantly, "Verbal thanks are no different from none at all."

"I'd rather have something more substantial."

Liu Fuping covered her mouth and laughed, "What more do you want?"

"You've already had your way with his daughter-in-law."

Qiu Tu: !!

"What kind of talk is that! Weren't we both in mutual agreement, carried away by our feelings, irresistible to each other?"

"How did it become a one-sided affair of me having my way with you?"

Saying this, Qiu Tu's tone shifted, then he pointed at his handsome face and patted his well-defined six-pack abs, saying, "With looks like these, with muscles like these"

"If we slept together, you're the one getting the deal! It's lucky I didn't charge you!"

Hearing Qiu Tu's shameless words, Liu Fuping's face turned a deeper shade of red, and she spat, "Pah!"

"So shameless."

Yet after laughing and cursing, Liu Fuping also recalled that wild night with Qiu Tu, and inexplicably, her eyes grew moist.

She lowered her head, looking boldly and directly at Qiu Tu, then said, "But... little man."

"I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't you have any parting gift for me tonight?"

Seeing Liu Fuping's ravenous expression, Qiu Tu quickly grasped her intent.

Seeing this, Qiu Tu cast aside all pretenses. He picked up Liu Fuping and in a swift motion, swept all the dishes and tablecloth off the table onto the floor!

He pressed Liu Fuping against the table.

That night, Qiu Tu truly experienced what it meant by 'a woman's waist, a deadly blade'...

And Liu Fuping "received" Qiu Tu's deeply affectionate "rich and thick" farewell gift...

.....

The next morning dawned.

Qiu Tu awoke from his sleep. Liu Fuping, tired from the night's activities, was still deeply asleep.

Qiu Tu yawned, reminisced a little, and felt that only such a night was truly enjoyable. Striving like Tang Feifei was abnormal!

'I wonder... after this promotion and the enhancement of my Cataclysmic ability, will my physical condition be strengthened.'

'When it comes to it, a Second-Order Catastropher facing a Third Order Cataclysmic shouldn't be as strained as now, right?'

With this thought, Qiu Tu involuntarily remembered the second bottle of Cataclysmic Awakening Potion and the Cataclysmic Material that ensured a 100% success rate to upgrade his Potion, which he had crafted but not yet used.

With these two items in hand, Qiu Tu theoretically had a 100% chance to cultivate two Cataclymics.

As for whom to cultivate, the choice was simple: the 100% Awakening Elixir for Ah-Tai, and the one with the attached Cataclysmic ability for Eagle.

After all, with Ah-Tai's size and combat strength, it was likely he would develop some powerful Cataclysmic ability.

As for Eagle... looking so listless, it would be good enough if he could become a Cataclysmic.

They were also Qiu Tu's most loyal and closely bonded subordinates. Cultivating them, Qiu Tu wouldn't be at a loss.

As for why he waited until now to cultivate them.

The main reason was...

Loyalty isn't omnipotent; throughout history, many a once-loyal subordinate spawned ambition from their own growing power and influence, eventually turning against their master.

Although Qiu Tu trusted in Ah-Tai and Eagle's loyalty, he didn't want to put their allegiance to the test.

Prior to this, Qiu Tu was only a First-Order Cataclysmic. Should Ah-Tai and Eagle become more powerful and truly develop their own ambitions, Qiu Tu would have no way to control them.

Now that he had advanced to Second Order, these concerns had dissipated like smoke...

Moreover, Qiu Tu wasn't planning to simply hand them the rewards. Instead, he intended to make them earn their chances.

The elixirs could be given to them first, but they must bring enough merit or Cataclysmic Material in exchange, or prepare a new Cataclysmic Potion for the next subordinate.

Only by establishing a healthy "reward and punishment mechanism" could Qiu Tu's small organization run positively, offering him more assistance.

And at that moment, as Qiu Tu was thinking this, Liu Fuping slowly woke up from her slumber.

Her face was still flush from the passionate battle of the previous night, her gaze hazy.

Her soft and smoldering body pressed against Qiu Tu's chest, flattening like a white pancake.

"Why did you get up so early..." Liu Fuping whispered in Qiu Tu's ear...

Qiu Tu shivered all over, then looked up at Liu Fuping.

Her watery eyes were filled with desire...

"I want more..."

Men cannot resist such a voice, and so, another fierce battle began...

When Qiu Tu sent Liu Fuping off in a sedan, and she left with a lingering gaze at 3 p.m.

Leaning against his rickety car, Qiu Tu watched the military green jeep fading into the distance, took out a cigarette, lit it, and quietly smoked it to the end...

After this farewell, when they met again, Liu Fuping would no longer be the little investigator who needed his protection against the elements.

She might well have transformed into some department head, legislative assistant, or other senior official.

For a moment, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that the "fate" of this life was a bit peculiar.

The women around him seemed to either rise quickly in rank or already held high positions.

'So, is heaven hinting that I stop trying and just enjoy being kept?'

At this thought, having finished his cigarette, Qiu Tu fiercely stamped out the butt, then resolved in his heart, 'Even if I'm being kept, I'm going to be kept by a hundred homes!'

'Can't be tied down by just one home's food!'

'Having lived a second time, I have to live it carefree!'

'To do that, I still need to improve my physical fitness! At the very least, I can't let that crappy Third Order Cataclysmic look down on me!'

Thinking this, Qiu Tu got into the car, ignited it, and drove off full of lofty ambitions toward the Investigation Bureau, ready for a promotion!

.....

Meanwhile, at the same time Qiu Tu was driving toward the Investigation Bureau.

At this time, the Public Security Bureau's 8.19 Investigation Team was in complete chaos.

The reason was very simple. That is... the Organizational Department had sent someone to talk to Qiu Tu first thing in the morning to start the promotion process. And yet... Qiu Tu hadn't come to work all morning.

Moreover, he wasn't answering calls, and upon visiting his home, they found he'd moved out...

And that wasn't all.

Apart from the Organizational Department looking for him, there was also a woman named Tan Huimin who claimed to be Qiu Tu's secretary, sitting in the office waiting for Qiu Tu.

This left Qiu Tu's subordinates a bit baffled, not understanding why their boss hadn't yet been promoted, but his secretary had already been arranged...

Here, the most excited was the gossiping Song Qing.

Her large eyes kept glancing at Tan Huimin, then she sneaked over to Cao Dabiao and whispered, "Brother Biao, could this be the boss's romantic debtsǵ❛‿❛ჴ?"
