Chapter 16

Suddenly, countless calls came to the originally quiet liaison office.

There were only three phones in the liaison office, and one operator was too busy. When Lin Wen arrived, he immediately transferred two people over to act as temporary operators.

However, this did not alleviate the business. Most of the calls were to ask about the main plan and other things. Only a small number were to ask about the Commissioner’s Power and the new county governor.

Lin Wen gave them a piece of paper with the standard answers on it. They were not allowed to answer questions that weren’t on the paper.

Then, Lin Wen rushed to the largest hotel in Huai Town and booked all the rooms for the next seven days as the county governor.

He then rushed to the best restaurant in Huai Town and reserved it as the county governor. He also told them that important guests were coming and asked them to prepare the reception.

Since the governor-general’s special car had just left a few days ago, this order was carried out meticulously by the hotel and restaurant owners in fear and trepidation. They were not worried about money.

Only Lin Wen knew that if the plan failed, he would probably become the first high official in the world to owe a debt.

He ran back to the county government office and realized that the county head had a special car as well that had been parked beside the county government office building. He instantly vomited blood.

But he didn’t have time to spit it out. He swallowed it back and ordered the reception staff to clean his car.

He himself immediately went back to take a bath and changed into the governor’s uniform.

What else did he need?

Lin Wen’s mind raced as he thought about what the big shots in his previous life looked like.

Yes, he still needed lackeys.

It was easy to find lackeys. Although he was a new official and did not have a secretary, it was easy for the master of a county to find a group of people to make a scene.

Lin Wen immediately turned around and went to the security office. However, he stopped after taking two steps. Wasn’t it inappropriate to find a bunch of security guards as lackeys during a business meeting?

He was not the boss of a gang who was going to fight someone. He just wanted to talk business normally.

Then, there should be a smart, capable, beautiful, and charismatic female secretary. When she appeared, she was wearing gold-framed glasses, a lady’s suit, and a cut-off skirt. She was dressed appropriately and had a generous bearing. She held a document in her hand and had a pair of female high heels on her feet. She stepped behind the CEO step by step, preferably with white or black silk stockings. When the two of them came out one after the other, didn’t their aura instantly rise? Didn’t this CEO look very reliable?

But where could he find a female secretary of this level?

Lin Wen thought for a while and resisted using Immortal Guiding the Way. His Soul Essence was only 60% at the moment, and he had to deal with the emergency later. If he didn’t have enough Soul Essence and was forced to use the Kindness, that would be a huge loss.

Although this matter was very important, Kindness should be saved and not used unless it was a critical moment.

After thinking about it, Lin Wen only thought of the laundry girl. Only she seemed to know how to dress up.

But would that work?

Lin Wen was uncertain.

He could only give it a try.

Back in the office, Lin Wen called the laundry lady over and briefly explained his request.

The laundry lady’s eyes lit up and she agreed immediately.

However, Lin Wen was still worried and asked her to change her clothes first.

The laundry girl left happily and returned about ten minutes later. When she pushed the door open and entered, Lin Wen saw that the girl’s face was flushed red. She stood there awkwardly. Was she sick?

Furthermore, her clothes were too informal. Her female suit was slanted and her shoulders were exposed. Was there a shirt with such a low neckline? There was no tie either. Her chest was exposed and it was obvious that she was not wearing any bra. The skirt was even more outrageous. It was short like a bikini, revealing her long fair legs. It was so dazzling that she was blinding. She was not wearing any black or white silk stockings.

She looked like a prostitute. Lin Wen wanted her to get lost, but he couldn’t bear to use magic to find someone.

He could only patiently teach her, “You can’t wear clothes like this. I’ll bring you to the business meeting later. You’ll be accompanying me as a secretary at the last minute, understand? You have to dress formally, appropriately, and appealingly.”

Fang Weiwei blushed and said in a low voice, “But I don’t know how. Can you teach me how to dress?”

Lin Wen was extremely annoyed. She immediately found a piece of clothing etiquette on the Internet, changed a few words, printed it down, and handed it to her. “Go quickly and think of a way. If you can’t change it, then don’t come.”

Fang Weiwei bit her red lips, not daring to believe her ears. However, when she saw County Head Lin skillfully use the computer, she still felt timid. She didn’t even dare to hate him. She pulled up her clothes and left in a hurry.

This time, Lin Wen was really angry. He found that someone had sabotaged his post. Apart from doubts, there were also people who posted ruined porn pictures, which disgusted many people who were following the pictures.

Due to some of the website’s flaws, they were unable to distinguish the difference between the original poster and the repliers. They thought that he was deliberately trying to disgust others, so they protested and reported him. They felt that he was destroying the environment and called for the website moderators.

As a result, his posts on several websites were thrown into the recycling bin.

The recycling station was a boardwalk, so there were fewer people here. Lin Wen was furious with the troublemakers on the line, belting out swear words and cursing their ancestors, but that didn’t help.

Lin Wen had no choice but to use another method. He could reply and post advertisements for himself on various forums.

Someone arrived in the afternoon.

The traffic in Huai Town was relatively convenient. It was located on the easternmost side of the county and was close to Xihu City. It was basically on the edge of the civilized world. After passing through Huai Town, one would step into the Primordial Abyss.

This group of people were all investors from Zhong State. There were seven people in total. The people at the reception area had received County Head Lin’s orders and welcomed them warmly.

As they arrived too quickly, Lin Wen had no choice but to receive them in the county governor’s office.

He activated the Heart of Seven Orifices again. This time, it was a brand new eight hours.

His Soul Essence dropped to 50%.

Lin Wen’s mind didn’t wander off on other matters. Instead, he carefully listened to the conversation, occasionally turning off the Heart of Seven Orifices to manually guide the conversation.

The conversation went on for more than an hour. After Lin Wen showed them the Commissioner’s Power document and the Empire’s main development plan he had modified, these people’s attitudes became much more respectful.

However, neither side revealed their true intentions. They exchanged some information and then left.

Lin Wen rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little tired. He did not know whether it was because the Empire’s investment environment was not too friendly or because Changshan County’s environment was not good. The people who came were all very vigilant. This kind of document from the top level could not completely reassure them.

After sending off this batch, another batch arrived. Lin Wen quickly stood up to receive the guests. There was no one here who could help him share his worries. Only he, the top host of Changshan County, could receive guests.

After all, he was the only one who was a hero of the Empire and who boasted the Commissioner’s Power.

People came in batches. Lin Wen had to hurry up so that other visitors wouldn’t wait too long. Even so, it wouldn’t end until 9 pm.

A total of 13 people decided to stay at the hotel arranged by Lin Wen.

The harvest should be alright.

Lin Wen turned off the Heart of Seven Orifices that he had activated again. There were seven and a half hours left.

His Soul Essence dropped to 40%.

He had to rest well today.

Lin Wen thought to himself. Otherwise, his Soul Essence would definitely be insufficient.

Most of the guests today were from the Dongqin State and the Zhong State, which was the closest.

There would be guests from other states tomorrow, but they wouldn’t be too far away, because he didn’t have the ability to advertise all over the Empire. And even if there were, he didn’t want to wait any longer. The day after tomorrow, at the latest, he’d start butchering the prey.

As Lin Wen was preparing to sleep, the door suddenly opened again.

Lin Wen looked up. Wasn’t this the laundry girl? He almost forgot.

This time, she was finally dressed normally. She was dressed in a light blue lady’s suit, a round-necked white blouse, and a beautiful bow tie. The clothes were fresh, and her makeup was elegant. Her clothes and accessories were tailored to complement her exquisite face. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she looked very dignified and elegant. The gold-framed glasses on her nose added to her intellectual and elegant look.

The skirt that covered the lower half of her body was of the right length, perfectly displaying her impeccable figure. The pale white silk stockings concealed the glaring white light from her thighs, making her look elegant and restrained.

He didn’t know that this ugly duckling was quite beautiful. She was a hidden swan.

The only thing that ruined her temperament was the fearful yet forced smile on her face.

“Very good.” Lin Wen clapped his hands. “You’ve passed, but you’re still lacking. This is the finishing touch.”

Fang Weiwei wanted to say something, but Lin Wen interrupted her. “Listen to me now. Take this.” He handed her the document.

When Fang Weiwei saw the golden dragon seal on the document, her hands almost trembled and threw the document away, but she managed to stabilize it in time.

“Take it!” said Lin Wen, “Take it with your left hand, raise your arm, put the file in front of your chest, and put your right hand down. Okay, that’s it.”

“Keep your back straight. It’s the ugliest thing for a woman to stoop. Keep your back straight. I don’t want to say it a third time.”

“Alright, raise your head and straighten your back. Look at me. Look at me!”

“Think of me as a licking dog. What’s a licking dog? It’s just, uh, a pug that’s circling around you… what’s there to be afraid of? Just do what I tell you to do.”

“Alright, I’m a bootlicker now, and you’re a goddess. What does a goddess do with a bootlicker? Disregard and ignore. Look ahead and treat me as if I didn’t exist.”

“Damn, this cultural gap is really huge. You don’t understand no matter how I explain it. Just consider you are Wu Zetian… You don’t know Wu Zetian? Oh right, you can’t possibly know her, so treat yourself as the emperor, the only female emperor in the Empire.”

These words had the opposite effect. Fang Weiwei’s eyes were filled with fear, and she almost wanted to escape through the door.

Fortunately, she was held back by Lin Wen. Only then did he remember that there was an emperor in the Empire. He could not joke around.

“I’m just giving you an example, do you understand?”

After a while, Fang Weiwei calmed down.

“Then you’ll be queen. Just consider yourself a queen. Just a queen. Well… the emperor has taken a fancy to your beauty and is fascinated by you, so he’s conferred you as queen. Well, so you’re queen now. Close your eyes and imagine carefully before opening your eyes again.”

The effect of those words far exceeded Lin Wenwen’s imagination. When Fang Weiwei opened her eyes again, her strong aura, along with her air of supremacy, coupled with her perfect attire, instantly overwhelmed the entire scene.

“Good!” Lin Wen praised. “Just like that, remember this feeling today. When you come out with me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, look at those constructors with this expression. Remember that? Go back. If you do well, I’ll promote you to be a real secretary.”

Fang Weiwei returned the document to County Head Lin, and then her imposing manner subsided. She was a bit dazed, as if she couldn’t believe that this was her previous state.

The night shrouded the city hall building. Only the lights in the governor’s office were still on.

Fang Weiwei hesitated for two seconds but didn’t say anything. She had originally planned to stay tonight no matter what. Even if she had to lick County Head Lin, she would take him.

But then she remembered her earlier confidence, the intense and surreal fascination. The indescribable beauty of it seemed to make up for the emptiness in her soul, making it impossible for her to face her humble self.

In the end, Fang Weiwei didn’t say anything and left the county governor’s office.

Lin Wen had long since fallen asleep.
