Chapter 189 The word "official" has two mouths
David sat up straight, pulled out a tissue from the coffee table, and wiped away Li Taoying's tears.
"Look at you, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
I already said I'm here to solve your problem.
Please stop crying...
"With you crying like this, we can't talk anything."
Li Taoying took the tissue and wiped her face, her body trembling with sobs: "Hearn, Hearn... I'm a miserable person."
I'm not as bad as you think.
I'm suffering too...
"If I wasn't forced into it, why would I go back to a place like that for thrills?"
David patted her bare shoulder and gently advised, "I understand, I understand."
You're that age, right...?
Old Zhou's health...
I understand.
This is all normal; it's not something that's morally reprehensible.
Just be careful in the future and don't get caught by others again.
Don't go to the Baihua Hotel.
"Move to another place, or find something more stable."
Upon hearing this, Li Taoying felt relieved, realizing that the situation had eased and that the other party wasn't trying to force her to her death.
It even implies a suggestion to find someone else.
She immediately came up with a mischievous idea.
"Where can you find it so easily?"
I am a divorced person.
You've been through this yourself, don't you know?
Who can I turn to?
Would you be happy if I contacted you?
David picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Drink tea, drink tea, it'll get cold soon."
He changed the subject, which meant he was unhappy.
Li Taoying was somewhat confused, but she obediently picked up her teacup and took two sips, regaining some of her composure and gradually calming down.
She realized that tonight's events were probably not so simple.
Chen Dawei's actions were calculated; he wasn't after her body.
This man is not that superficial.
So she sat sideways, holding her teacup in both hands, quietly waiting for Chen Dawei to continue.
David slowly smoked his cigarette, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to offer her his terms.
"Director Li, the time has come."
You have to make a different choice.
Should we side with Lao Zhou, or with me?
Li Taoying stood with her legs tightly together, lowered her head, and slowly turned her body to the side, getting close to Dawei. Her knees, clad in flesh-colored stockings, touched Dawei's legs. She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Dawei with a charming gaze, her eyes filled with helplessness and lingering affection.
"Dawei...you're forcing me."
Is there a solution that satisfies both sides?
Hello, he's doing well, and I'm doing well too.
It means being caught in the middle, pleasing both sides and profiting from both.
How could David possibly agree to such conditions?
Seeing Li Taoying place her hand on her arm and begin to seduce him, Dawei resolutely pushed her hand away, his voice cold and firm.
"I told you, I'm here to help you."
The conflict between Zhou Xiangzhang and me has long since reached an irreconcilable point.
You are his protégé.
Today, you need to give me an answer.
Choose me or him.
David slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
"Sister Ying, let's be frank."
No matter what you say, I will not let him go.
I'm here today to give you a chance. I can tell you don't actually want to be with him.
The one who's really pushing you is Lao Zhou, not me.
I'm here to give you a chance.
If you choose me, I can give you a new life.
Following Lao Zhou will inevitably lead to certain death.
Actually... you've figured it out yourself, haven't you?
Since I took office, Zhou Xiangzhang and his ilk have made a series of disastrous decisions.
In the five-person team, one person had already been arrested, and then Xiao Lili was brought in as a replacement.
He only had one full-time deputy secretary, Qi Dahai, supporting him.
You're a smart person; I'm sure you already realized that the offensive and defensive strategies have shifted.
If you continue down the same path as him, you'll end up like Lin Wangyou.
If you come with me, I can give you a way out.
At the very least, they won't end up in jail.
I can assure you of that.
The unspoken message was that if she didn't follow Dawei's path and chose to continue with Zhou Xiangzhang, Dawei would also guarantee to send her to jail.
Li Taoying understood this perfectly well, even without it being said aloud.
"Hehe..." Li Taoying smiled bitterly, turned her body to the side so that her legs were no longer touching Dawei, and a desolate smile appeared on her face: "Guarantee?"
I've heard far too much of this kind of nonsense from you men.
Let me tell you a story.
Don't people outside say I'm a heartless and cold-blooded person?
She's not good to her parents, and she's not good to her husband either.
Actually, I knew from a very young age that men are the best liars.
At this point, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she turned her head away, as if recalling some unbearable past events.
David put out his cigarette; he had plenty of patience.
Because he knew very well that in order to truly persuade Li Taoying and recruit her, he had to get her to open up and tear open the most secret parts of her heart.
This is a common tactic used by leaders when conducting ideological work.
This is what it means to be honest and open with each other. If someone can't do this, they can't be trusted because they have reservations, which is actually a sign of distrust.
Li Taoying sniffed: "My dad lied to my mom his whole life. He had women outside."
My mom has been putting up with it, saying it's for my sake.
As they grew up, got jobs, and became capable, they learned to be independent.
I made my mother divorce her husband, and I'll support her.
I never expected my mom to blame me for being unfilial. I'm speechless.
My bastard father, I don't know what kind of spell he cast on her.
My dad is a typical scumbag, and my ex-husband Ye Man is even worse.
Everyone says that I abandoned him.
But how many people know the truth behind this?
Ye Man's health is failing, and I'm in my prime. I'm depressed every day... but that's secondary, I can bear it.
The key point is that he was always afraid that I would improve faster than him.
When I go to work in another city, he insists that I have something going on with so-and-so.
At first, I felt sorry for him, thinking that he might be insecure.
After this happened many times, I realized that he simply didn't love me.
If someone truly loves me, they will want me to soar high.
Later, I followed his wishes and ended up looking the way I do now.
hehe……"
Li Taoying smiled bitterly and took a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"So, do you think I'll still believe a man's promises?"
After listening, Dawei finally understood why Li Taoying had become the way she was today.
excusable.
However, Dawei is already a mature cadre.
His daily work involves dealing with all sorts of shrewd people—those who can get into the government are all extraordinary, especially someone like Li Taoying who holds a high position.
This kind of person is very good at acting.
The character for "official" has two mouths.
Say what you mean, whenever you want.
Listen to what follows.
After all that, what Li Taoying really wanted to achieve was to ensure that Dawei's guarantee was valid.
In other words, Li Taoying wanted to manipulate Dawei and exchange secrets with him so that she could feel at ease.
Otherwise, she would be controlled by Dawei, and since she had no leverage over him, Li Taoying would not approve of such a collaboration.
Thinking of this, Dawei took another drag of his cigarette. How could he possibly put Li Taoying at ease?
What leverage do you want to give Li Taoying?
