Let them offer their loyalty!

As soon as Guan Xiao spoke, the venue fell silent.

The heads of the Political Department dared not show any change in expression, while Cai Peiyuan and Zhang Jian had looks of helplessness on their faces.

Zhang Jian intended to scold Guan Xiao, telling her not to cause trouble, but as the words reached his lips, he remembered Guan Xiao's witch-like behavior and her influential background; his mouth slowly closed again.

As for the mid- to high-level managers from surrounding departments, upon hearing Guan Xiao's fierce words, they were all curiously craning their necks to look over.

However, as soon as they saw it was Guan Xiao, they immediately retracted their heads.

Some old lechers coveted her fiery figure with greedy eyes but were spotted by companions nearby.

The companions hastily pulled at them, whispering, "Got a death wish? That's Guan Xiao."

Upon hearing the reminder, the old lechers quickly withdrew their gazes, then bowed their heads, pretending nothing had happened.

Tan Huimin saw everyone's reactions and took it all in.

But she... after all, was just a junior secretary recently trained by the Administrative Office; she did not understand Guan Xiao.

So, she discreetly remembered the situation at hand while saying to Guan Xiao in a gentle voice, "Director, I will report your suggestion to the minister afterwards."

"But whether he will agree, I'm not certain."

Before she could finish her words, Guan Xiao slid her right hand's forefinger and middle finger into her deep "V" cleavage.

The next second, a card scented with her body fragrance was pinched out.

With a coquettish smile, she placed the card at her lips and kissed it deeply.

On the card listing her name, position, and communicator number, there was now a bright red lipstick mark.

The lipstick mark was as red as blood, fierce as fire, as if it could burn everything.

"Here~" Guan Xiao held the card between two fingers and extended it to Tan Huimin.

Tan Huimin's actions paused for a moment, but eventually, she still reached out and took the card still warm from Guan Xiao's touch…

...

After seeing off Zhou Jingfu, the meeting also came to an end.

As Secretary Bai was currently being held in the Political Department's Guard Room, Yu Zhengyi took his place and declared the meeting adjourned.

The senior staff walked out, and secretaries followed one after another.

When Tan Huimin came in front of him, Qiu Tu asked, "Did you explain everything?"

In a gentle voice, Tan Huimin "hmm-ed" and then took out Guan Xiao's card, saying, "This is from Section Chief Guan."

"She asked if you were free tonight. She would like to report to you then."

"Section Chief Guan?" murmuring this name, Qiu Tu had the image of a seductive woman appear in his mind.

Some women are beautiful, some have good figures, but... none can be called a seductress.

Because a seductress has one quality: "enticing"...

This "enticing" isn't a derogatory term; it means that every move she makes can tug at a man's heart, possibly causing his heartbeat to quicken with just a small gesture.

And Guan Xiao was that kind of woman.

If she were just a seductress, Qiu Tu might not have paid extra attention to Guan Xiao. But she had other qualities, too.

She was the niece of the Public Security Department Director Guan Weihua, a favored protégé of the former Head of the Political Department Jia Shu, and a powerful woman who single-handedly built the Political Department's spy network.

No one knew how many spies she had planted around or how many people's weaknesses she held.

Hence, she was both enticing and dangerous, both attracting men and deterring them from trifling with her.

After recalling this woman's profile, Qiu Tu turned back and looked at Guan Xiao in the meeting area of the Political Department.

At that moment, a department head from another sector was engaging in an awkward conversation with Guan Xiao.

"Director Guan, I keep dreaming about you these past few days. I..."

The department head didn't get to finish before Guan Xiao pretended to be surprised, "Oh, is that so? That can't be good. How about... I find a master to exorcize the evil spirits for you?"

"Director Zhang, haven't you been possessed by some demon?"

His face turning white then red, Director Zhang heard her words and quickly said with a forced smile, "You're joking, Director Guan, joking. Oh, I remembered wrongly, I haven't had any dreams these past few days..."

Having said that, Director Zhang dashed away in a flash.

As Guan Xiao watched Director Zhang leave, her gaze slowly shifted, and then locked with Qiu Tu's from afar.

The two of them, separated by most of the meeting room, held each other's gaze.

Guan Xiao seemed to have sensed Qiu Tu's gaze already, her eyes showing no wavering.

She brazenly threw a flirtatious look at Qiu Tu and then gestured for him to call her.

Qiu Tu laughed softly.

Then, in a voice that only Tan Huimin could hear, he quietly said, "Interesting..."

After finishing, he didn't respond to Guan Xiao, but instead turned and left the Investigation Bureau Office Building with Tan Huimin....

...

Because Qiu Tu had been demoted and his position adjusted, and because the driver was feeling unsettled, Qiu Tu took the initiative to send him back to work as a clerk in the Administrative Office.

This meant that Qiu Tu currently had no driver.

He decided to pick a suitable driver from his confidants when he had the chance: a driver, like a secretary, was one of the closest people to him. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

He himself felt a bit uneasy about entrusting outsiders.

For now... he could have Tan Huimin fill in temporarily.

Thinking this way, Qiu Tu had Tan Huimin drive him back to the villa he shared with Fang Tangtang.
