Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Just like this recent matter, since it was confirmed that Secretary Bai hadn't died, Qiu Tu didn't care about the other things.

As for what Secretary Bai was plotting and the extent of its impact, Qiu Tu only knew one thing: Old Bai wouldn't harm him. That was enough.

Thinking this, he tossed the letter that was about to burn his fingers into the ashtray, destroying the last clue. Then, with a profound look, Qiu Tu turned his gaze to Guan Xiao.

At this moment, Guan Xiao stood erect before Qiu Tu, her uniform's buttons undone down to her navel, revealing two pale, dewdrop-shaped hemispheres on her left and right.

Truth be told, this semi-concealed state was far more seductive than full exposure.

Qiu Tu's eyes lingered on her for a moment before he finally spoke slowly, "Section Chief Guan, you've done well."

"This counts as a merit for you."

"And on top of that, the spy case within the Lianzhen Special Combat Team, you've established two significant achievements in this period."

"Tell me... what do you want?"

Guan Xiao was quite a character herself. When Qiu Tu asked, she truly didn't hold back.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she looked at Qiu Tu, and then, with a seductive smile, she said, "Commander~ I want a promotion, I want to become the vice minister of the Political Department. I... just want to advance so much."

Hearing Guan Xiao's words, Qiu Tu tapped his fingers lightly on the desk twice, then responded softly with a critique, "You see, you're being impatient again."

"If there's an opportunity, do you think I wouldn't promote you to vice minister?"

"But think about it. Yan Chen was just dismissed."

"Chairman Huang and Chairman Liu just came to our Xinjie City Investigation Bureau yesterday, criticizing our Bureau for lacking unity and excessive infighting."

"Afterward, they demanded we stop the struggle, saying that no one should inquire into anything that happened before yesterday."

"In this situation... how could I possibly deal with Vice Minister Zhang using the excuse of a forged suicide note and framing, and then lift you up?"

At this point, Qiu Tu lightly patted his own face, "That would be slapping the faces of both chairmen."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a hint of disappointment inevitably appeared on Guan Xiao's face.

However, for someone as cunning as her, that flicker of disappointment might have been just for show for Qiu Tu.

Seeing her reaction, Qiu Tu knew he couldn't let down the heart of his confidant, who was eager to entice him.

So he picked up the teacup from the desk, took a sip of water, and then laid out his thoughts methodically, "Of course... not allowing infighting, not allowing dredging up past events does not mean we can't deal with Minister Zhang and give you a promotion..."

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, a light visibly sparked in Guan Xiao's eyes.

Whether she was truly excited or just seizing this opportunity to continue seducing Qiu Tu and close their distance, she started walking towards him with her long legs, her boots clacking, until she reached him.

And then... she sat down on Qiu Tu's lap, facing him.

Mind you, her uniform was still unbuttoned.

So with a simple glance downward, Qiu Tu could see the bounty of softness inside.

He didn't hesitate to reach in and gently fondle it.

Soft and smooth to the touch, she was second only to Fang Tangtang among Qiu Tu's women.

Guan Xiao closed her eyes and indulged in the moment for a bit, a light hum escaping from her nose, quickening Qiu Tu's pulse...

Having indulged himself with the beauty of his subordinate, Qiu Tu naturally wanted to discuss proper business.

So he leaned close to Guan Xiao's ear and whispered his thoughts.

At the beginning, Guan Xiao still listened with her eyes closed, but by the time Qiu Tu finished outlining his plan, she opened her eyes in surprise and couldn't help turning towards him.

Qiu Tu looked back at her with a smile, then inquired, "Well? You think it won't work?"

Guan Xiao quickly shook her head, her eyes sparkling, "No... I just think you're genius, Minister."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh.

Then he unabashedly lowered his head and took his share of Guan Xiao.

And it was... just as delicate and smooth as tofu...

This way, after taking advantage of Guan Xiao for several minutes, just as they were both nearly losing control, Qiu Tu still stopped that multi-billion project.

Not for any other reason... but because Guan Xiao was different from other women.

For other women, a connection three inches below the navel leads straight to the heart, hence getting physical can further the emotional bond.

But Guan Xiao was different; she was deliberately using her allure to entice Qiu Tu, yet her heart remained incredibly clear-headed.

Thus, in this hunting game, at least initially, Qiu Tu was the prey, and Guan Xiao the hunter.

So, letting Guan Xiao succeed too easily... would let her set the pace.

Anyway... Qiu Tu had other women for relief; he wasn't in a hurry.

Keeping Guan Xiao on tenterhooks, responding to her seduction and even reversing it to lure her in.

To make this woman feel she was about to succeed, yet not allowing her to, was the perfect strategy to conquer this type of woman.

Men have their yearnings, and women have theirs.

When desire builds up to a certain level, the first person to break is the loser...

This is the "Emotional Fraud Manual," the 36 strategies for handling women - [Deferment as a Means to Control].

Specifically for proactive women.

As for whether Guan Xiao, hung out to dry, would go and seek others for relief just like Qiu Tu...

Qiu Tu was confident she wouldn't.

The key to the allure of beauty is its scarcity and "one-on-one" nature.

If Guan Xiao dared to look for other men, then her charm would become worthless to Qiu Tu.

Given Guan Xiao's shrewdness, she would clearly understand this...
