Chapter 464: Bluffing and Deceiving

"I'm not really in a position to step forward on this matter," Meng Zheqing pondered for a moment before saying.

Upon hearing this, Shen Shanghu became anxious.

He hurriedly said, "Mayor Meng, you must save me. If you help me, I guarantee a reward."

"It's not a matter of a reward, Minister Shen. I'm just a humble deputy mayor. Minister Chen is the head of the organization department, ranking higher than me. In some ways, he's my leader, right?"

Shen Shanghu thought Meng Zheqing was refusing him.

He wore an expression of helplessness.

Just as he was about to stand up.

Meng Zheqing grabbed his hand and said, "Minister Shen, I hear you have a lady friend who works at the bank, the one who's quite pretty, right?"

Once he said this.

Shen Shanghu shivered.

The woman Meng Zheqing referred to was Ningning, the mistress Shen Shanghu kept on the side.

They were all veterans of officialdom, sharp as tacks.

He instantly understood Meng Zheqing's implication.

He was discussing terms.
