Chapter Ninety-Five: Returning to the Hotel to Discuss Life

  Lu Xichen stepped out to answer the phone, while Su Han looked at Zhao Tiezhu with a hint of sadness. Zhao Tiezhu's hand was caressing Guo Tingting's thigh, and he didn't notice Su Han. The atmosphere between Tiezhu, Ha Ma, and the other two women was also heating up, and it was likely that they would go to the hotel after dinner to explore the meaning of life. As people who had been through the ups and downs of society, they were no longer fazed by things like opening a room. Moreover, Ha Ma and Tiezhu had already been given the title of "golden turtle son-in-law" by the two women, so it was only natural that they would be passionate about each other.

  Zhao Tiezhu cursed the two as beasts while his hands moved non-stop.

  Lu Xun walked in from outside and said, "Everyone, sorry about this, I need to go next door for a bit. Xiao Man, wait for me, I'll come back and find you later. Director Sun, do you want to come with me?"

  Director Sun looked at Lu Chen with confusion.

  "Director Liu is in Room 1," Lu Chen said softly, and Director Sun's body suddenly straightened up, the drunken look on his face also disappeared without a trace.

  "Director, shall we go together?" Director Sun turned his head to look at Zhao Tiezhu, and Zhao Tiezhu slightly nodded. Let's just see then.

  Lu Chen heard Director Sun's words, but furrowed his brow. However, Director Sun's mention of the leader made his heart stir slightly, and he didn't speak up.

  "You guys play, I'll be back later." Zhao Tiezhu said, and then he left the room with Director Sun Luchen.

  No. 1 private room was just next to No. 5 private room, Lu Chen lightly knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside saying "come in".

  There were not many people in the private room, just six. Among these six people, one of them caught Zhao Tiezhu's eye - a mature and charming woman who looked around thirty years old. Her face was icy cold, but the bright red color on her lips made her look extremely elegant. She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which added to her intellectual appearance. The blue shirt she wore was tightly stretched over her full bust, as if it might burst open at any moment. Due to the table blocking the view, her lower body couldn't be seen, but it was likely to be just as alluring!

  In this room, Zhao Tiezhu also saw a familiar face. The Ximen Qing who had met at the hotel when Chen Zhe was killed was also in this room, but today his face no longer had the arrogance of that time, standing calmly behind a young man, slightly bowing his head.

  There were also several middle-aged men with extraordinary temperament and a sense of superiority.

  "Secretary Liu, Dad." Lu Chen called out to the sexy and elegant woman, then shouted a sentence at the bald-headed man beside her. This made Zhao Tiezhu truly shocked - that woman was actually the secretary? And she could sit in the upper seat of Lu Chen's father, which definitely wasn't some village committee secretary or township committee secretary. The only explanation was that this woman was the municipal party committee secretary! Such a beautiful municipal party committee secretary, the people of XX City were really too fortunate! This was what a public servant should look like!

  Zhao Tiezhu smiled slyly, thinking he looked very cool, but in reality, he appeared quite lewd to others. The icy beauty furrowed her brow and asked Lu Chen, "Little Lu, who is this?"

  "I came with Director Sun, I'm not familiar either." Lu Chen hastily pointed to Director Sun beside him.

  Director Sun said respectfully: "Secretary, this is Major General Zhao Tiezhu of the Fuzhou Military Region."

  This made Liu Secretary also surprised and opened his small mouth, but Liu Secretary was not Director Sun, instantly restored to normal, just looking at Zhao Tiezhu said: "Oh? This young comrade is so young, can be promoted to a big school?" The tone of the speech had a bit of distrust.

  Zhao Tiezhu raised an eyebrow, took out his ID and threw it over directly. This action was quite impolite, but since no one believed him anyway, being overly polite in handing over the ID would only lower his own status.

  Secretary Liu picked up the document and took a look, especially at the dragon-shaped seal on it. Her heart suddenly trembled! The Special Action Division of the National Security Bureau! Secretary Liu was so beautiful and young to become a secretary, she naturally had an extraordinary background and family. She was lucky enough to have seen the documents of the Special Action Division of the National Security Bureau before, and this dragon-shaped mark was its most distinctive feature!

  Secretary Liu immediately stood up, "It's General Zhao Tiezhu, nice to meet you, I'm Liu Ruoxi, welcome to XX City." The sudden change in attitude stunned everyone present. General Zhao was at most on the same level as Liu Ruoxi, not to mention Liu Ruoxi's family, which was also very influential in the province. No one expected her to have such an attitude. Everyone present was a seasoned politician, and their surprise only lasted for a moment. Lu Chen's father stood up second. "Welcome, General Zhao."

  Zhao Tiejun nodded and smiled, but he took a look at Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing had a smile on his face, "Young Master, this is Zhao Tiejun, the brother I told you about last time."

  That young man had never heard Ximen Qing mention Zhao Tiezhu before, but since Ximen Qing said so now, he wasn't a fool either. He stood up and said: "So you're Brother Zhao. Ximen Qing mentioned you to me just the other day, saying you were a hero among men, a young talent."

  Zhao Tiezhu and his group said their goodbyes, had a few drinks, felt bored, and returned to Room 5.

  Not long after sitting down, Liu Ruoxi led a group of people in, saying they were there to pay their respects with wine. This shocked the girls present even more. The beautiful secretary was quite famous in XX City, not only because of her position but also due to her personality, which was said to be very cold and proud. As a result, she remained unmarried until now. It seemed that many people in Beijing had taken an interest in her, but nothing ever came of it.

  The female secretary just came over, toasted Zhao Tiezhu with a glass of wine, left a phone number and then left. She was the secretary after all, it's not worth fawning on people, this is a bit undignified, good intentions have been expressed, that's enough.

  "Zhao Tiezhu, people are getting more and more curious about you!" Guo Tingting whispered in Zhao Tiezhu's ear. Su Han was also shining with excitement in her eyes, originally having a high opinion of Zhao Tiezhu, but now her evaluation of him had skyrocketed to new heights, leaving Lu Chen far behind in comparison.

  Lu Chen went to room 1 and didn't come back, probably because he was worried that he had offended Zhao Tiezhu earlier and feared revenge. However, what he didn't know was that with his kind of role, Zhao Tiezhu wouldn't even bother to step on him, let alone the fact that he hadn't actually offended Zhao Tiezhu much, it was all Su Han stirring up trouble.

  "Tiě zhù gē, nǐ... nǐ yào zài XX chéng dāi jǐ tiān ne." Sū huàn zhè xià bǐ zhī zuó wǎn yuē wēn róu wú shù bèi, qīng shēng wèn.

  Translation:

  "Brother Tiezhu, how many days are you going to stay in XX city?" Su Han asked softly, several times more gentle than before.

  "Leaving tomorrow." Zhao Tiezhu touched his head, where did he go just now? Now thinking about pleasing his brother, it's too late.

  "Brother Tiezhu, can't you stay and keep me company?" Su Han's words were tinged with a hint of grievance and resentment, plus that lovely face...

  This... This is forcing me to make a mistake! No, no, no! I must hold on! Zhao Tiezhu's mind flashed with countless heroic images: Qiu Shaoyun, Qi Jiguang, Cao Ziyu, Su Yanni, Furong, Fengjie. The fire in his heart instantly disappeared.

  "Alright, we've had enough to drink, it's time to go back. We still have to get up early tomorrow to head back to FJ." Zhao Tiezhu called out, and everyone agreed, leaving the hotel. As expected, the other two women who were with Su Huan got into Iron Fist and Ha Ma's cars, saying they wanted to continue discussing life at the hotel. However, Su Huan was more reserved than them. Her ideal was to be a socialite, but not just anyone could get on her "bus". She only wanted one man, a strong enough one, so she could navigate high society with ease and not be bothered by others. For now, Zhao Tiezhu seemed like a good choice, but it seemed like he didn't have the same feelings for her as Guo Tingting did. Su Huan sighed, leaving her phone number with Zhao Tiezhu, playing hard to get, hoping this tactic would work. With a sigh, she got into the car arranged by Li Zong.

  "Rail pillar, I also want to go with you to talk about life."

  "Alright, no problem." Zhao Tiezhu took Guo Tingting onto the car and headed towards his hotel, while Wu Qian was different from the other girls, Fan Jian didn't have that idea either, it's better to take things slow. So Fan Jian only sent Wu Qian and her daughter back home, then he returned to the hotel alone.
