"Then tell me, how am I so foolish?" Huang Ling asked with interest.
"Huang Ling, I've told you clearly, the power struggles in the capital are not that simple. You can't kill an opponent in one go. It takes many rounds. Each round, a piece is sacrificed. Unfortunately, you are just one piece in many rounds," Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Are you saying that if Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai are brought down this time, the big boss behind them in the capital will also target me? Both sides will suffer losses, but the boss behind Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai will lose more, and the boss behind me will lose less. Even with a smaller loss, it won't create an absolute advantage, and there will be several more rounds of competition?" Huang Ling felt a chill down her spine. If Chen Feng hadn't enlightened her today, she would have been sold and helped count the money. The power struggle in the capital was too deep, a place where people killed without drawing blood.
"At least you're not completely clueless!" Chen Feng replied with a faint smile.
"But I've already chosen the wrong side, and I can't change it now," Huang Ling said fearfully.
"Normally, once you've chosen the wrong side, you can't change it and can only brace for destruction. However, fortunately, it's still in its infancy, and there's still a chance to salvage it," Chen Feng comforted Huang Ling.
"Chen Feng, tell me quickly, how can it be salvaged?" Huang Ling asked anxiously.
"As long as you withdraw to the sidelines, all problems will naturally be resolved," Chen Feng replied concisely.
"It's that simple?" Huang Ling asked with disbelief.
"Yes, it's that simple. As long as you quickly step back to the sidelines, the big boss in the capital who supported you will mistakenly believe that his opponent has counter-attacked and will naturally treat you as a discarded piece. Of course, you also need to get Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai to let you go, which might be a bit difficult," Chen Feng said, deliberately trying to scare Huang Ling.
"Difficulty is not a problem, as long as I can save my life."
"Give me all your money, and then sleep with me and record a video. Afterwards, I will give the money and the video to Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai. They will naturally know that you are sincerely withdrawing from the political arena," Chen Feng explained with a serious demeanor. The money wouldn't be given to Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai. They just needed the capital's political alignment incident to subside. As for the video, it could be shown to them. If they liked perversion, then fulfill their desires and let them watch how their women were slept with.
"Can I give it to them directly?" Huang Ling asked softly.
"Do you think Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai will still see you?" Chen Feng asked unhurriedly.
"That's true." Huang Ling no longer hesitated. She had collaborated with Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai for so many years. If she suddenly betrayed them, given their wicked nature, they would indeed never meet her again. Forget it. Having Chen Feng as an intermediary to eliminate the danger and live a peaceful later life was also quite good. It was a blessing in disguise. She was a woman, and a very beautiful woman. Even if she had no money, even if her past life was terrible, it wouldn't matter. Finding a place where no one knew her, finding an honest man, and living the rest of her life happily would be no problem at all. Not only that, but this honest man would give her his heart and lungs, and would be grateful to her for life. This was the current situation in China, as distorted as the political arena. But it was also inevitable. The political arena was distorted because China was the country with the most severe officialdom worship, and everyone wanted to enter the political arena. When everyone wants to enter a place, distorted phenomena are bound to occur. As for the distortion in male-female relationships, it was because China had been patriarchal for thousands of years, leading to a severe imbalance in the male-female ratio. When there are more men than women in a society, distorted phenomena are bound to occur. After thinking for a moment, Huang Ling stopped thinking and took off her clothes... Chen Feng did not hesitate and slept with Huang Ling. The reason for sleeping with Huang Ling was not due to masculine impulse. To be honest, he had many women around him now. If he wanted to sleep with a woman, all it took was a phone call, and any woman could be obtained. The main reason for sleeping with Huang Ling was to provide Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai with a letter of submission. Helping them alone was not enough for this letter of submission. They would not willingly give up the position of head of the provincial personnel department to Cui Yali. Now, sleeping with their common woman showed that he, like them, had a taste for certain things regarding women, making him one of them, which was a form of letter of submission. With two forms of submission combined, Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai would accept him more. This way, his allegiance would be successful. The battle lasted for a full three hours. The reason for three hours was mainly to capture some stimulating footage for Xiang Wentian and Wang Hai to watch. After recording the video, Chen Feng went to find Wang Hai immediately.
"Chen Feng, to be honest, I underestimated you," Wang Hai said excitedly.
"Old Wang, you flatter me. I was just lucky, and with my eloquence, I convinced Huang Ling to withdraw to the sidelines," Chen Feng replied modestly.
"Chen Feng, you are too modest. The position of head of the provincial personnel department is a lucrative one. Convincing Huang Ling to voluntarily give up this lucrative position and step back to the sidelines is extremely difficult. Frankly, I could never have done it," Wang Hai looked at Chen Feng with admiration.
"..." Chen Feng smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, can you guarantee that Huang Ling won't cause trouble again?" Wang Hai continued to ask.
"Old Wang, don't worry, Huang Ling will absolutely not cause trouble again," Chen Feng said confidently.
"How do you guarantee that Huang Ling won't cause trouble again?" Wang Hai asked with interest.
"First, I have a video of myself and Huang Ling messing around, a video that lasts three hours. Once Huang Ling causes trouble again, as soon as the video is released, Huang Ling will be completely ruined. A ruined woman, even if she has leverage over you and Xiang Wentian, will be useless. Second, Huang Ling's sudden withdrawal to the sidelines means she has broken ties with the big boss behind the capital. Once their relationship is broken, it cannot be mended. Therefore, I can be sure that Huang Ling will never cause trouble again. She will find a place where no one knows her and live a peaceful life for the rest of her days," Chen Feng explained patiently.
"As you say, that makes sense, and I am relieved. I must say, Chen Feng, you are truly remarkable. You have, in an invisible way, defused a bloody storm caused by the political alignment in the capital. By the way, since you are so capable, can you guess who the two big bosses are in this capital political alignment incident?" Wang Hai asked with interest, testing him.
"Old Wang, to be honest, if this were happening in Jiangcheng or the provincial capital, I could accurately deduce it. However, for events happening in the capital's power circles, even with my abilities, I cannot deduce it. The capital's power circles are too deep, filled with old foxes and seasoned veterans who are extremely cautious in everything they do, leaving no trace. To put it bluntly, I can sense that there are undercurrents in the capital's power circles, but I cannot touch them," Chen Feng explained very seriously.
"Your description of the capital's power circles is indeed accurate. It seems your talent for political maneuvering is genuine and not just talk. Alright, the matter is settled. You can return to Jiangcheng and tell Cui Yali to come to the provincial capital to work in a few days," Wang Hai said calmly.
"Thank you, Old Wang," Chen Feng said sincerely.
"We are on the same side, so there's no need for thanks. Besides, you have already helped me and Xiang Wentian with the capital's political alignment incident, so there's no need for extra gratitude. Of course, if you truly want to thank me, I won't stop you. Coincidentally, I have a tricky matter that requires your help..." Wang Hai said, hesitating.
