This is in the luxurious suite of the five-star Jiangzhou Grand Hotel.

Thick velvet curtains were drawn tightly, not a sliver of light could penetrate. The air conditioning hummed softly, and the warm, gentle glow of the floor lamp cast an inviting ambiance. The air was thick with unspoken tension.

Qi Liang, wearing pajamas, leaned against the wide and soft headboard, his hands crossed over his small belly, watching Ye Xinyi emerge from the bathroom like he was admiring his prey.

This usually aloof and elegant beauty, at this moment, was lowering her eyes and being subservient. She was wearing a pink yukata and her hair, still damp from the shower, was casually draped over her shoulders.

The young woman's yukata collar revealed a patch of whiteness, with two beautiful curves faintly visible. Below the curves were two round lumps, and her long, slender thighs peeked out from under the hem of her sleepwear. Her whole body exuded a seductive mature charm.

Joe Liang's eyes were dazed, his heart pounding. A surge of heat rose in his abdomen. The pretty young woman before him was the social flower of the Jiangzhou Daily, a talented reporter with both beauty and brains. Countless men had fantasies about her and longed to possess her.

But at this time, she was about to become the prey beneath her own feet.

Looking at Ye Xinyi's humiliated and helpless expression, Qiao Liang felt a surge of immense satisfaction in his heart.

If I hadn't won the deputy editor position, overseeing the reporters' department, in the interview against her, would Ye Xinyi, who usually acts aloof towards me, be so obedient?

Oh, it's great to have power, isn't it? A higher official can just crush people. This woman, even if she hates it with all her heart, doesn't dare say a word of protest. She has no choice but to obey and come here willingly.

The more Qiao Liang thought about it, the more pleased he became, and the faster the heat in his lower abdomen flowed. This heat made him breathe heavily, panting like a calf.

"Take off—"

Qiao Liang's voice came out hoarse, trembling slightly. The hoarseness was from a mixture of tension and excitement, while the tremble stemmed from the conquest and impulse of desire.

Ye Xinyi tightly bit her delicate lips, her eyelids trembling slightly. Her complexion, as white as jade, flushed a deep red, tinged with a hint of bitterness. With trembling hands, she reached for the sash of her yukata...

The yukata slipped slowly, and at this moment, in Qiao Liang's eyes, it wasn't the yukata that was falling, but the complete conquest of this woman's last line of defense.

As the yukata slipped to the ankles of the woman, a curve of exquisite beauty, with skin as white as flowers and delicate as a mermaid, appeared before Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang's eyes widened in an instant, swallowing hard. His lower body tensed and stood erect as he gazed at the mermaid before him. Despite her reluctance, she was submitting nonetheless, her bare form on display. He could no longer contain his overwhelming physical urge. With a forceful grab, he pulled Ye Xinyi onto the bed and pounced upon her, heavy breaths escaping his lips...

"Beauty, finally I have you." Qiao Liang was kissing Ye Xinyi's delicate skin wantonly while arrogantly proclaiming his victory.

"Ah..." The woman seemed startled, instinctively resisting for a few moments. Her jade-like arms swayed back and forth, her fiery body twisted this way and that, but she was soon engulfed by Qiao Liang's frenzy...

"Bang bang bang..."

He was enjoying himself deeply when suddenly a violent knocking sound startled Joe Liang awake, causing him to jump. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Joe jolted awake in bed, drenched in sweat, his heart pounding wildly. His legs trembled uncontrollably.

Look around, where is the luxurious suite of a five-star hotel, where are the beautiful women and housewives? You are clearly lying in your bedroom at home. The door to the bedroom is open, the bedside lamp is on, and there are materials for tomorrow's job interview beside the pillow.

Damn, it turns out that was just a dream!

Spring dreams leave no trace.

Qiao Liang sadly rubbed his head. What a pity, the dream just now was so real, especially Ye Xinyi's charming figure and warm touch, which made him...

"Bang bang bang..." The rude knocking sound rang out again.

Joe glanced at the time, 11:30 PM. He couldn't help but be annoyed. What kind of jerk would knock on his door in the middle of the night, disturbing his good dream? He had finally managed to conquer Ye Xinyi in his dream once, only to have it ruined like this.

Then I thought, could it be that my wife Zhang Mei suddenly came back from a business trip and forgot her house key?

ZHANG Mei works at the Municipal Radio and Television Bureau. Lately, she's been very busy with her work and has frequent transfers, sometimes being away for half a month at a time.

Qiao Liang was dazed and blinked, opening the door. He froze, finding three strangers standing there: a woman in front and two men behind her. The expressions on their faces were all very serious.

"What the... are you doing?" Qiao Liang was a little dumbfounded.

The woman at the front had short, ear-length hair, fair skin, and was wearing a black suit with mid-height heels. She looked to be around 37 or 38 years old. Her figure was slender and elegant, exuding the charm of a mature woman, but her expression was very cold.

The woman looked up and down at Qiao Liang, seeing the tent sticking out from under his pajamas. Her heart skipped a beat, her brows furrowed. What kind of spring dream had this boy been having just now?

"Are you Qiao Liang, the head of the editorial office at Jiangzhou Daily?" The woman's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable aura of authority.

Qiao Liang nodded. "Yes, I'm Qiao Liang, you are..."

The woman pulled out her ID and waved it in Qiao Liang's face, stating without a doubt: "This is the Disciplinary Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. We are investigating a case from Room 3. Qiao Liang, please come with us."

Joe suddenly felt wide awake, his eyelids twitching. Damn it, how did the commission find him?

"Please, I... what did I do wrong?" Qiao Liang stammered.

"You know exactly what happened. Now, put on your clothes and come with us immediately." The woman's voice was stern, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing the situation, Qiao Liang knew that words were useless at this moment. He quickly went back into the house to put on his clothes and followed them downstairs. They got into a black sedan. A woman sat in the passenger seat, and two young men flanked him in the middle of the back seat.

A black car drove out of the estate, going nowhere in particular. Everyone remained silent.

At this time Qiao Liang

My heart was pounding with both anxiety and impatience. I was scheduled for an interview tomorrow, but after the commotion caused by the disciplinary committee, I worried it would jeopardize everything.

A few days ago, Qiao Liang participated in the open recruitment exam for deputy department heads organized by Jiangzhou City. He applied for the position of Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper and ranked first in the written exam among over 300 candidates.

Also applying for the position was Ye Xinyi, chief of the news department at a newspaper. Her written exam score was 0.5 points lower than Qiao Liang's, placing her second. The third-place finisher was a division director from the city's cultural bureau, four points behind Qiao Liang. All three qualified for tomorrow's interview. Because the difference in scores between the third-place finisher and the top two was significant, the main competition will be between Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi.

Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi's relationship is average, even hostile. It's not because of any conflict between them, but because of the discord between Li Youwei, the secretary of the Party committee and editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and Wen Yuan, the chief editor.

This time, Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi applied for the position of deputy editor-in-chief. They received the support of Li Youwei and Wen Yuan respectively. Both of them hoped to increase their own people in the newspaper's leadership team.

Joe Liang was determined to win this interview and defeat Ye Xinyi, aiming to surpass her and secure the deputy manager position.

Qiao Liang calculated carefully, after becoming the deputy editor-in-chief, he must be in charge of the reporter department. At that time, Ye Xinyi would become his subordinate, and she wouldn't dare to disobey him.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, I was suddenly taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection in the middle of the night.

Qiao Liang was very apprehensive. He hadn't really done anything that warranted a disciplinary investigation by the committee, had he? Could this be someone else's problem dragging him into it?

Who else could it be?
