Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Liu Min joked, "They're not avoiding you, they're clearly afraid of you."

"Everyone says that Officer Li, you came down here with an imperial sword on your back."

"What if your imperial sword, which is supposed to protect the innocent, is used to kill your own people instead of outsiders?"

Li Dong smiled wryly, "What are you talking about? What kind of imperial sword do I have?"

"Besides, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Why would they be afraid of me?"

Liu Min said with a smile, "There are too many people with guilty consciences in our police station!"

Li Dong suddenly countered, "Sister Liu, do you have something to hide?"

Liu Min was taken aback by the question, "Then do you think I have something to hide?"

Li Dong smiled and said, "I can't say for sure, I trust Sister Liu."

"If Sister Liu says it's there, then it is; if Sister Liu says it's not there, then it's not."

Liu Min seemed amused, and her words gradually became bolder, containing a hint of provocation and a hint of implication: "You believe what women say?"

"But... if you want to know if I have something to hide, that's easy, just touch me and you'll know."

"Well, Team Leader Li, do you have the guts?"

Li Dong quickly shook his head, "No, Sister Liu, I don't have that kind of guts!"

Liu Min responded with a curt "Hmm, I didn't. I didn't authorize you to make such comments," and rolled her eyes with a captivating air. "What a character!"

Little did she know, Liu Min had overlooked her own charm.

This eye roll drew the attention of many men, and even made those passionate men pause in their tracks!

Liu Min didn't mind at all.

If you can't have it, you have to destroy it. Over the years, many people at the mine have gossiped about her behind her back, but she's too lazy to care.

In any case, in the mouths of those men, no pretty woman is any good.

But they don't seem to realize that if there were no bad men, where would bad women come from?

In short, these men verbally attacked her.

In reality, if given the chance to lick her toes, these men would definitely kneel down obediently at her feet.

Unfortunately, Liu Min looked down on these people in the slightest.

She'd rather let Li Dong have it than let these spineless cowards who only know how to talk big!

Of course, this was just wishful thinking on her part.

Even if she wanted to offer herself to Li Dong, he probably wouldn't want her, given her withered and faded.

That's why people are so strange; they want to destroy what they can't have.

We reject what's offered to us!

Little did they know that while Su Xiaotang was being discussed, Su Xiaotang also spotted Li Dong.

Li Dong was simply too conspicuous. Most of the people in the canteen were workers, while Li Dong, dressed in a police uniform, stood out like a crane among chickens.

Before Su Xiaotang could say anything, her arm was suddenly pinched.

Turning around, I saw it was my best friend, Lin Mei.

At this moment, Lin Mei's eyes widened, her face full of infatuation, staring in Li Dong's direction with her mouth almost agape. "Oh my god, Su Xiaotang, please don't tell me that's Li Dong!"

Su Xiaotang asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Do you know him?"

Lin Mei shook her head, "No, I definitely don't know him. If I knew such a handsome guy, I would have already devoured him!"

"But Su Xiaotang, isn't Li Dong just too handsome?"

"How come he's so much more handsome than in his online photos?"

"Waaaaah, this is outrageous!"

"No, you have to come with me and get her WeChat!"

As they were talking, Lin Mei pulled the person away.

Seeing Lin Mei's infatuated expression, as if she wanted to devour Li Dongsheng alive, Su Xiaotang was embarrassed and looked like she was afraid of making a fool of herself. "Lin Mei, don't be infatuated with me!"

"If you dare to embarrass me in front of Brother Dong, I'll break off all ties with you!"

Lin Mei persisted, "I'll treat you to dinner, but please add me on WeChat!"

Su Xiaotang was speechless and didn't respond at all.

Lin Mei added, "Dinner for a week!"

Su Xiaotang said irritably, "I'll think about it—dinner for a month!"

Little did Lin Mei know, without the slightest hesitation, she said with a heavy heart, "One month is fine, just add him on WeChat for me!"

Su Xiaotang was speechless. "Lin Mei, my goodness, do you have to be like this? Did you never see a man in your past life?"

Lin Mei kept glancing back, saying, "I've seen men before, but someone like your Li Dong is absolutely one of a kind!"

Su Xiaotang's face darkened. "It's not my Li Dong, okay?"

Lin Mei patted her chest maliciously, "Luckily it wasn't your Li Dong, otherwise I would be so depressed!"

Su Xiaotang gritted her teeth, "Lin Mei, you son of a bitch!"

Lin Mei suddenly said, "Wait a minute, isn't that Liu Min sitting next to your Li Dong?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaotang looked over and, sure enough, it was Liu Min.

She only knew Liu Min, but they weren't close.

When she first arrived at the mine, Liu Min had already been working there for many years.

Moreover, it is rumored that Liu Min has a very powerful backer and has unclear relationships with Dong Shouan and several mine leaders.

In those years, whenever there was any high-profile business reception at the mine, Liu Min was always the one who took the lead.

In short, Liu Min's personal reputation is not very good, but no one has caught her with any concrete evidence.

Later, when she entered the finance department, Liu Min had already gone to the police station.

Therefore, the two had little interaction at work and were only nodding acquaintances.

They knew of each other's existence and had spoken, but they weren't close.

Now, thanks to Lin Mei's reminder, Su Xiaotang realized that the person sitting next to Li Dong was none other than Liu Min.

If it were any other woman, Su Xiaotang wouldn't bother with her.

After all, she was no one to Li Dong and had no right to interfere with him.

However, Liu Min has a deep background, complicated relationships, and extensive connections in Guodong Mining.

If Li Dong, a newcomer, were to rashly get involved with a woman like this, he would most likely end up in a terrible mess!

Nevertheless, Su Xiaotang remained calm and said, "It was Li Dong's first day working at the police station. Liu Min was the station's administrative staff. The two of them were eating together, which was just normal work-related communication."

Lin Mei clearly had a different opinion: "That's not necessarily true. Liu Min's eyes light up when she sees a man."

"Now that such a handsome and charming guy has arrived at the police station, you'd better keep a close eye on him, lest she devour him whole!"

"Su Xiaotang, let me tell you, even if you don't want to snatch Li Dong away, you can introduce him to me."

"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders; you can't just let this guy surnamed Liu get it for free, can you?"

Su Xiaotang pouted, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Do you think I don't know what you're up to?"

"Don't worry, Liu Min is definitely not Dong Ge's type!"

"Dong's girlfriend is prettier than me, how could he possibly be interested in her?"

Lin Mei cautioned, "These kinds of things between men and women aren't about looks; it's about feelings."

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you!"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. After hearing Lin Mei's speculation, Su Xiaotang felt as if a deer was trapped in her heart, her heart pounding with anxiety, and her gaze kept unconsciously drifting towards the direction where Li Dong was!
