Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Li Dong dared not look any longer and quickly averted his gaze.

In a place like a police station, Liu Min was considered the number one beauty.

If he, a newcomer who has just started his job, gets involved in any scandals with the other party, his future work will be put in a difficult position.

Li Dong took a half step back. "Thank you, Sister Liu. It was a bit rushed on my first day at work. I'll buy a new one myself and bring this back to you later!"

Seeing Li Dong distance himself from her, Liu Min's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible disappointment. "Why are you being so polite? You'd just gather dust if you left me."

"Then you go ahead and get busy. Call me anytime if you need anything."

"There's a landline on the table; the first number is mine."

"By the way, I'll let you know the time for tonight's welcome dinner once it's set."

Li Dong smiled and nodded in agreement.

Liu Min teased, "Don't forget to let your family know, so no one at home will be waiting for you to eat!"

"By the way, is Team Leader Li married?"

Li Dong dared not hide anything and told the truth: "I'm married and have a daughter."

Liu Min was clearly surprised. "You're so young, and you already have a daughter?"

Li Dong jokingly added, "I was naive when I was young."

Liu Min didn't ask any further questions, and didn't hide the disappointment in her tone, "Sigh, what a pity."

"The mine is full of roughnecks, so it's rare to have a young and handsome guy like Officer Li, but it turns out he's already taken."

"What are we older single women supposed to do?"

Li Dong asked in surprise, "Sister Liu is so beautiful, is she still unmarried?"

Liu Min lamented, "I want to get married, but no one is interested in me."

"Alright, don't delay Team Leader Li's work. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Li Dong personally escorted Liu Min to the door and then closed it behind him.

The moment he turned around, a deeper meaning appeared on his face.

He was actually somewhat reluctant to attend this kind of welcoming banquet.

Work-related socializing often turns into a test of each other at the dinner table, with no genuine sincerity whatsoever.

Not only was he tired, but the other person was too.

But police stations are different; their working environment is complex.

Besides my colleagues from the police station, there will definitely be people from the mine attending the banquet.

As a newcomer, he would find it best to establish himself quickly through drinking parties.

Especially on this new battlefield, if you want to break through the enemy's fortress, you must do it from the inside.

As for who is the hunter and who is the prey at the dinner table?

Then we'll just have to rely on our own abilities!

But no matter what, Li Dong was certain that there would be a fierce battle tonight!

Thinking of this, Li Dong turned around and sat back down at the table.

The chair was definitely not very comfortable, after all, it was a bit old and it was an old office chair from an old workplace, and it was creaking when I sat on it.

But this feeling is really good.

Li Dong glanced around the table, picked up the phone, and dialed immediately.

A short while later, a gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Song Ci speaking. "Who is this?"

It was clear that Song Ci was busy.

He was answering the phone while also handling work.

Li Dong smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Song Ci was taken aback at first, then realized, "Li Dong?"

Judging from his voice, Song Ci must have put down his work. He then switched to a teasing tone, "Team Leader Li, it's your first day at work. Instead of getting used to the work environment, you have time to call me?"

This time it was Li Dong's turn to be surprised. "How did you know I was the team leader?"

Song Ci retorted, "What, do you really think I'm just a reporter for nothing?"

“I interviewed Guodong Mining before, and the resident police station was the one who handled the business at the time.”

“I’ve been to that small building in your workplace, and I even chatted with Director Wang.”

"I knew about the police station's situation before you did."

"Besides, you are my husband after all. Shouldn't I inquire about your new workplace beforehand?"

“Wang Qinghai is about to retire and doesn’t want to get involved in any trouble, so he will definitely push a capable young man with no connections to take his place.”

"Given your qualifications and performance at the Minjin Township Police Station, no one is more suitable than you for the position of head of the security team."

"Plus, this is an unfamiliar landline number; it must be your work phone number, right?"

"If someone calls me from an office landline during work hours, it must be a private matter."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be your own office."

"Besides the team leader, I can't think of any other position that would give me a private office!"

"So, did you guess right?"

In the end, Song Ci spoke in a tone that suggested she was waiting for praise.

Li Dong sincerely praised her, giving her a thumbs up and saying, "Is there even a question? My wife is so smart, is there anything she can't guess?"

Song Ci countered with, "So, how does it feel to have a new office?"

Li Dong leaned back comfortably in his chair. "Comfortable!"

"When I have time later, I'll invite you to visit my office!"

Song Ci smiled. "Let me have a tour?"

"If I really went to your workplace, how would you still be able to flirt with other women at the mine?"

"When they all know that you, Li Dong, have a family, who will dare to get close to you?"

"What, you really want to give up a whole forest for this one tree of mine?"

Li Dong smiled wryly, "What are you saying? Even if I had the desire, I wouldn't have the guts!"

"Besides, if you, the Empress, were to come and visit me, wouldn't that extinguish any unwanted thoughts from those with ulterior motives?"

Song Ci countered, "So, someone in the police station has designs on you?"

"Tell me, which stunning beauty could make our Team Leader Li so wary?"

Li Dong explained, "There are no beauties here. They are far inferior to my wife. They are just colleagues at work."

Song Ci said, "Is it that office clerk surnamed Liu?"

Li Dong was speechless. "You know them?"

Song Ci explained, "She was the one who liaised with me when I went to the mine for an interview last time."

"Good business skills, smart and capable, I have some impression of him."

"She was considered one of the most beautiful women in a place like a mine."

"Especially for older sisters like this, they often have a fatal attraction for young men like you!"

Knowing that Song Ci was joking, Li Dong didn't hide anything and briefly told Song Ci about what happened that day.

Song Ci said, "So, you're not coming home for dinner tonight?"

Li Dong nodded, "Yes, we still don't know when it will all end."

"I won't call home, but could you tell them for me?"

"Also, could you go to the hospital for me and see how Dad is doing?"

After a brief chat, Song Ci, still worried, gave Li Dong a word of advice: "Li Dong, don't be careless this time you go to the mine."

Li Dong immediately adopted a respectful demeanor, "Please give your instructions, my dear wife!"
