Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Lin Mei finally came to her senses, "Huh? The mine office... the desks in the mine office are too crowded!"

These words only made Su Xiaotang angrier.

She originally wanted to use Lin Mei's words to put Liu Min in a bad mood, but unexpectedly, this useless teammate made her look like she was in the wrong.

Liu Min couldn't help but chuckle softly, picked up her chopsticks and gently tapped her plate. "Sister Su, your friend is quite honest."

"But even if it's crowded, don't let it interfere with your business."

"After all, the work of the finance department is always meticulous. It would be bad if we made a mistake in the accounts because we were thinking about the food on someone else's table."

Su Xiaotang suppressed her anger, "Sister Min is joking. I just think it's quiet here, and... I heard that Officer Li just came to the mine, so I thought I'd come and say hello."

Liu Min asked with a smile, "Oh, Sister Su and Officer Li... know each other?"

As soon as he said that, gasps of surprise rose and fell from the surrounding crowd.

Who doesn't know that Su Xiaotang has always been arrogant and haughty?

She wouldn't even give a friendly look to the mine leader's son, let alone greet the new police officer.

Could it be that these two knew each other before?

Li Dong tightened his grip on the chopsticks, inwardly cursing the girl for being so eager to stir up trouble.

Fearing that Su Xiaotang might say something inappropriate, he quickly interjected, "Oh, we just met this morning..."

Su Xiaotang seemed oblivious to Li Dong's avoidance, instead leaning forward slightly with a hint of teasing in her eyes, "Although we just met, I've long admired Officer Li."

“I had heard about Officer Li’s deeds in the Tianzhou police force a long time ago, and I have always regarded Officer Li as my idol.”

"Unexpectedly, the new officer at the mine's police station is Officer Li."

"Come on, let me formally introduce myself."

"Su Xiaotang works in the Finance Department of the Mine Office."

"If you need anything for work in the future, Officer Li, please feel free to come to me!"

After saying this, Su Xiaotang extended her slender white palm.

Her fair and delicate skin was particularly eye-catching in the air.

Li Dong braced himself and took the initiative to shake hands with the other party.

Beside her, Lin Mei also introduced herself, "Hello Officer Li... I... I'm Xiao Tang's colleague and also her good friend."

"I also work at...the mine office...please...take care of me!"

Lin Mei barely dared to look people in the eye when she spoke, and her voice was stammering.

Li Dong nodded, which marked their formal introduction to each other.

Liu Min sat to the side, vaguely sensing that the two must have known each other for a long time.

Although she didn't know why Li Dong was deliberately avoiding the question, Liu Min didn't press him. She reached out and picked up a piece of green vegetable for Li Dong, her actions natural and affectionate. "Li Dong is a key member of our police station. It's only right that I take care of my colleague."

"However, Sister Su, your finance department and our police station have different business operations."

"If you ever need any help in the future, you'll have to register with me first."

"Otherwise, all we'll know is that Officer Li is a kind-hearted person."

"Anyone who didn't know better would think that Officer Li is mixing public and private matters!"

Su Xiaotang's face instantly darkened, especially when she saw Liu Min's domineering manner. She could no longer suppress her anger. "Sister Min, what you said is wrong. Officer Li is a police officer at the mine."

"Protecting all the workers at the mine is his responsibility, why should I tell you first?"

Liu Min raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is Sophie worried about her safety?"

"Or is there some unsafe place in the mine that our police station is unaware of?"

The two exchanged increasingly heated words, their tones gradually becoming confrontational, and the atmosphere at the table instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The workers in the surrounding area watched intently, barely daring to breathe, for fear of missing a single moment of the spectacle.

Li Dong was caught in the middle, feeling a chill run down his spine.

He knew that if things continued like this, they would only get worse.

Before he could say anything, Su Xiaotang's next move ignited the entire audience.

She then placed a chicken leg from her plate directly onto Li Dong's plate.

The seemingly ordinary action instantly silenced the cafeteria and left Li Dong and Liu Min stunned on the spot!

Li Dong could even feel the murderous gazes around him, which seemed to have a tangible presence!

After all, she was the factory's most beautiful girl, so she had many suitors and even more admirers.

Nowadays, none of the men in the mine have the advantage of being close to the source, but instead, he, the newcomer, has surpassed them. Who wouldn't have some thoughts about this?

Li Dong was even certain that if he hadn't been wearing a police uniform, these men in the mine would have probably torn him to pieces!

But, Grandma, what are you doing?

Even if you have a grudge against Liu Min, you don't need to put me on the hot seat in a place like the cafeteria where everyone is watching!

How am I supposed to carry out my work in the mine after this?

As for Liu Min, it is unknown whether the two know each other.

He took Su Xiaotang's series of actions as a provocation, saying, "What, does Su Xiaotang like our Officer Li? Does that mean it's a bit inappropriate for me to sit here?"

Su Xiaotang hurriedly explained, "Sister Min, don't misunderstand."

"I'm just on a diet and don't want to eat meat."

"It would be a waste to throw it away, so let's ask Officer Li to help us dispose of it."

"Besides, it's Officer Li's first day working at the mine, so I'm just representing the mine to welcome him and let him feel the warmth of our mine."

Liu Min chuckled and picked up her own braised pork, saying, "Since the mining office is taking such good care of Officer Li, it would be too much of a waste if I didn't do something in return."

"Officer Li, I've been on a diet lately, could you please do these for me?"

"We're colleagues at the police station, I'm sure you won't refuse, right?"

Li Dong was speechless. It was bad enough that he was put on the spot by a factory beauty, but he didn't expect Liu Min to add fuel to the fire.

This kind of blissful life with multiple wives is not something everyone can enjoy.

If you two really have any grudges, please settle them separately outside. Don't drag me into this, okay?

But Liu Min and Su Xiaotang paid no attention to Li Dong; their eyes were only on each other, and their burning desire was for battle!

Li Dong was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and was preparing to back down.

Just then, Liu Min's phone rang.

Liu Min answered the phone immediately, then hung up and said, "Officer Li, I need to go back to finalize the welcome dinner tonight. You can eat slowly."

After saying this, Liu Min stood up immediately.

As she passed by Su Xiaotang, she suddenly lowered her voice and said, "By the way, Su Xiaotang, Officer Li is reporting for duty today. Our police station is preparing a welcome banquet tonight. Are you coming?"

After saying this, Liu Min's eyes held an added hint of provocation.

Su Xiaotang has been working at the mine for many years and has never participated in such social gatherings.

She asked the question out of deliberate provocation.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiaotang said decisively, "Alright! Then I'll gladly accept your offer?"
