This is in the luxurious suite of a five-star hotel in Jiangzhou.

The thick velvet curtains were drawn tightly, not allowing a sliver of light to pass through. The air conditioner hummed softly, sending out a gentle stream of cool air. The warm and soft glow of the standing lamp cast an intimate ambiance, while the air was thick with a palpable tension.

Qiao Liang wore pajamas and leaned against the wide, soft headboard, his hands crossed over his small abdomen, watching Ye Xinyi who walked out of the bathroom like he was admiring prey.

This usually cold and aloof beautiful woman was now lowering her gaze and behaving meekly. She wore a pink yukata, her hair still damp from the bath, hanging loosely over her shoulders.

The young wife's yukata neckline revealed a patch of white, with two beautiful curves faintly visible. Below the curves were two plump mounds, and her long, rounded calves peeked out from under the edge of her nightgown. Her whole body emanated an alluringly mature scent.

Qiao Liang's eyes were dazed, his heart pounding wildly. A warm current surged in his abdomen. The beautiful woman before him was the famous reporter and "flower" of Jiangzhou Daily, a stunningly talented woman coveted by countless men.

But at this moment, she was about to become the prey beneath her.

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

If it weren't for her victory over Ye Xinyi in the interview, becoming deputy editor-in-chief and overseeing the reporters' department, could she possibly be this obedient?

Faced with the reality pressing down on her, this woman, even though she didn't want to come a hundred thousand times over in her heart, didn't dare say no. She had no choice but to obey the call and obediently come here.

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

"Take off—"

Joe's voice came out husky, trembling slightly. The huskiness was from a mixture of nervousness and excitement, the trembling from the conquest and drive of desire.

Ye Xinyi clenched her tender lips tightly, her eyelids trembled, her porcelain-like face flushed crimson, a hint of bitterness in her expression. She reached for the sash of her yukata with trembling hands...

The yukata slid slowly down, and at this moment, in Qiao Liang's eyes, what was sliding down wasn't the yukata, but the complete breach of this woman's last line of defense.

As the yukata slipped to the ankles of the young woman, a curve of beauty emerged—a delicate white mermaid in all her loveliness before Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang's eyes widened instantly, he swallowed hard, looking at the mermaid who was reluctantly but helplessly stripping bare. He could no longer contain his intense impulse and pulled Ye Xinyi onto the bed...

“Ah…” The woman seemed to be startled, instinctively resisting for a few moments, her jade-like arms swaying back and forth, her fiery body twisting and turning. But then she was consumed by Qiao Liang’s madness…

"Bang bang bang…"

He was in the middle of a pleasant dream when suddenly, a loud banging on the door startled him awake. He jumped.

Joe Liang sat bolt upright in bed, drenched in sweat, his heart pounding wildly. He was shaking uncontrollably.

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

Oh my god, it was just a dream!

Spring dreams leave no trace.

Qiao Liang sadly touched his head. It was a pity, the dream just now was too real, especially Ye Xinyi's alluring figure and warm touch, which made him...

"Bang bang bang..." Another rude knocking sound echoed.

Joe looked at the time, 11:30 pm. He couldn't help but be annoyed, damn it, who would knock on the door in the middle of the night, disturbing his good dream. He had finally managed to conquer Ye Xinyi once in his dream, but it was ruined just like that.

Suddenly, I thought, could it be that my wife Zhang Mei returned from a business trip unexpectedly and forgot to bring the house key?

Zhang Mei works at the municipal radio and television station. She has been very busy lately and is often transferred to different locations. Sometimes she's gone for half a month or more.

Joe Liang blinked in confusion, opening the door. He was stunned to see three strangers standing there: a woman in front and two men behind her. All three wore serious expressions.

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

The woman in the lead had short hair that reached her ears, fair skin, a black suit dress, and mid-heel shoes. She looked to be about 37 or 8 years old. Her figure was slender and elegant, with the charm of a mature woman, but her expression was very cold.

The woman looked Qiao Liang up and down, seeing the tent he was leaning against under his pajamas. Her heart skipped a beat, her eyebrows furrowed. This kid must have been having some kind of spring dream just now.

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

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

The woman flashed her ID card in front of Qiao Liang's eyes, leaving no room for doubt. "Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Room 3, case handling. Qiao Liang, please come with us."

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

"Please, I beg you, what have I done wrong?" Qiao Liang stammered.

"You know what's going on. Now get dressed and come with us immediately." The woman's tone was harsh, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing the situation, Qiao Liang knew that words were useless at this moment. He quickly went back to his room to put on some 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 backseat.

A black car drove out of the neighborhood, its destination unknown. Everyone remained silent.

Qiao Liang was both anxious and uneasy at this moment. He was going to have an interview tomorrow, and all of this commotion would delay important matters.

A few days ago, Qiao Liang participated in the public recruitment exam organized by Jiangzhou City. He applied for the position of deputy editor-in-chief of a newspaper and came first in the written examination among more than 300 candidates.

Also applying for the position is Ye Xinyi, head of the newspaper's reporting department. Her written exam score was 0.5 points lower than Qiao Liang's, placing her second. The third-place finisher is a section chief from the city's Culture Bureau, scoring 4 points less than Qiao Liang. All three have qualified for tomorrow's interview. Because the gap between the third-place finisher and the top two is significant, the main competition will be between Qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi.

qiao Liang and Ye Xinyi's relationship was average, even bordering on hostile. It wasn't because of any conflict between them, but rather due to 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 hoped to increase their own people in the editorial board of the newspaper.

Qiao Liang was determined to win this interview, resolute in defeating Ye Xinyi and securing the position of deputy editor.

Qiao Liang calculated meticulously. Once he became the deputy editor-in-chief, he must be in charge of the reporter department. Then Ye Xinyi would be under his command, and she wouldn't dare to disobey him.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, I was suddenly taken away by the disciplinary committee in the middle of the night.

Qiao Liang was terrified in his heart. He really hadn't done anything worthy of them taking action against him for a violation of discipline, had he? Could it be that someone else's affairs had implicated him?

And who else could it be? It's in the luxurious suite of a five-star hotel in Jiangzhou.

The thick velvet curtains were drawn tightly, not a sliver of light could get through. The air conditioner's cool air hummed softly, and the floor lamp cast a warm and gentle glow. There was an air of intimacy in the room.

Qiao Liang was wearing pajamas, leaning against the large and soft headboard, his hands crossed over his small abdomen, watching Ye Xinyi who walked out of the bathroom like he was admiring prey.

This usually cold and aloof beautiful woman, at this moment, was lowering her eyes and acting obedient. She was wearing a pink yukata, and her hair, which had not been completely dried, hung loosely over her shoulders.

The woman's yukata revealed a patch of white at the collar, with two beautiful curves faintly visible. Beneath the curves were two rounded mounds, and her long, slender legs peeked out from under the hem of the sleepwear. Her whole body radiated an alluring mature charm.

Qiao Liang's eyes were dazed, his heart pounding wildly, a surge of heat rising in his abdomen. The beautiful woman before him was the flower of the Jiangzhou Daily newspaper, a talented and renowned reporter. Countless men had fantasized about her and yearned 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 she hadn't outshined her in the interview to become the Deputy Editor, overseeing the reporters, would Ye Xinyi, who usually acted aloof and distant towards him, be this obedient?

Faced with the reality pressing down on her, this woman, despite a thousand unwilling thoughts in her heart, dared not utter a single word of refusal. She had to obey the call and obediently come here.

The more Qiao Liang thought about it, the more pleased he became, and the hotter the feeling in his abdomen grew. This heat made him breathe heavily, panting like a young bull.

“Take off”

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

Ye Xinyi bit her tender lips tightly, her eyelids trembled slightly, her face as white as jade was flushed with a crimson blush, with a hint of bitterness. She stretched out trembling hands towards 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 slid down to the young woman's ankles, a curvaceous beauty with fair skin and delicate features like a mermaid appeared before Qiao Liang.

Joe Liang's eyes widened in an instant, swallowing hard as he looked at the naked mermaid who reluctantly obeyed. He could no longer contain his strong urge and pulled Ye Xinyi onto the bed...

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

"Bang bang bang..."

Just as he was enjoying himself, a sudden and rough knocking sound startled Qiao Liang awake from his dream. He jumped in fright.

Joe sprang up from the bed, his body drenched in sweat, his heart pounding wildly. He was shaking uncontrollably.

Look around, where is the luxury suite of a five-star hotel, where are beautiful women and young wives? You are clearly lying in bed in your own bedroom. The bedroom door is open, the bedside lamp is on, and there are materials for tomorrow's job interview next to your pillow.

Oh my god, it turns out what just happened was a dream!

Spring dreams leave no trace.

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

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

Qiao Liang looked at the time, 11:30 in the middle of the night. He couldn't help but get angry. Damn it, which unlucky bastard knocked on the door in the middle of the night, interrupting Laozi's good dream. It was finally possible to conquer Ye Xinyi in a dream, but it was ruined like this.

Suddenly, I thought, could it be that my wife Zhang Mei returned from her business trip unexpectedly and forgot to bring the house key?

Zhang Mei works at the Municipal Broadcasting Bureau. Recently, her work has been very busy, and she is often transferred. Sometimes, she goes away for half a month at a time.

Qiao Liang was dumbfounded. He opened the door, only to be met by three strangers: a woman in front and two men behind her. All three wore serious expressions.

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

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

The woman sized Qiao Liang up and down. Seeing the tent-like shape under his pajamas, her heart skipped a beat, and her brows furrowed. This boy must have been having some strange dream just now.

"Are you Qiao Liang, the office director of the Jiangzhou Daily?" The woman's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an inexplicable aura of pressure.

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

The woman flashed her ID in front of Qiao Liang's eyes, leaving no room for doubt. "Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Room 3, Case handling. Qiao Liang, please come with us."

Joe was instantly wide awake, his eyelids twitching. Oh crap, how did they find him?

"Please, I beg you, what have I done wrong?" Qiao Liang stammered.

“You know exactly what’s going on. Now, put your clothes on and come with us immediately.” The woman's voice was harsh, leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing the situation, Qiao Liang knew that it was useless to say anything more. He quickly went back to his room to put on his clothes and followed them downstairs. They got into a black sedan, with a woman in the passenger seat and two young men flanking him in the middle of the back seat.

A black sedan drove out of the neighborhood, its destination unknown. Everyone remained silent.

Qi Liang was both anxious and uneasy at this moment. He had an interview tomorrow, and all this commotion would delay the important matter.

Last few days, Qiao Liang participated in the open recruitment examination organized by Jiangzhou City, applying for the position of Deputy Editor-in-Chief. He ranked first in the written test among over 300 candidates.

Also applying for this position is Ye Xinyi, the head of the newspaper's reporting department. She scored 0.5 points lower than Qiao Liang, coming in second place. The third place went to a section chief from the city's cultural bureau, who scored 4 points lower than Qiao Liang. All three qualified for tomorrow's interview. Since the third-place score is significantly lower than the top two, 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 they have any conflicts, but because the party secretary and editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Li Youwei and Wen Yuan, don't get along.

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

For this interview, Qiao Liang was determined to win, resolute in defeating Ye Xinyi and surpassing her, stepping onto the position of deputy editor-in-chief.

Qiao Liang had carefully planned it all. Once he became deputy editor-in-chief, he would definitely be in charge of the reporters department, and then Ye Xinyi would become his subordinate. He wouldn't have to worry about her being disobedient anymore.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, I was suddenly taken away by the disciplinary committee in the middle of the night.

Qiao Liang was terrified in his heart. He hadn't really done anything that deserved such a serious disciplinary action, had he? Could it be that someone else's problems had implicated him?

Who else could it be?
