The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 297: The Path to Promotion

The ringing phone interrupted Lin Fan’s beautiful dream.

As Lin Fan withdrew his hand from between Gao Min’s legs, he groped around with closed eyes for a while before finding the phone that had dropped to the floor. Squinting at the caller ID, he frowned and pressed the answer button.

"You’d better have something important to say for calling so early, or else I’ll make sure you regret it!"

The call was from Qu Liping, the office director, and it was only 7:30 in the morning. For Lin Fan, who had spent an intense night, this was a bit too early.

"Master... I’m sorry to disturb your sweet dreams... It’s just that the higher-ups want you to come back to the office to process your promotion to Full Department Level status, and there’s also an order to transfer you to the County Government to serve as the County Disciplinary Committee Secretary that needs your review."

As the director of the general office, Qu Liping surely held a deputy bureau-level post, but she sounded very humble when speaking to Lin Fan.

"Full Department Level, Disciplinary Committee Secretary!"

On hearing this, Lin Fan instantly opened his eyes. Previously, he was just a regular clerk, and if taking the administrative hierarchy into account, even Xu Guangfa, the head of Lotus Town police station, was of deputy department level, far surpassing him. He had skipped the deputy level directly to Full Department and even got appointed as the County Disciplinary Committee Secretary. This was a qualitative leap for Lin Fan.

"Yes, whenever you have time, just drop by the office to fill out the paperwork."

Qu Liping, sensing Lin Fan’s joyful voice, felt relieved. The thought of what would happen when Lin Fan returned was clear to her.

"I’ll come by later!"

Having only been posted to the town for three months, he had now moved up to the county level. Wouldn’t the next step be aiming straight for the district level? It wouldn’t take many years before he could return to the City Committee, where at the very least, he could become the director of the mayor’s office. That would bring him one step closer to the city’s management tier.

"Then I’ll wait for your return!"

After hanging up, Lin Fan lost his desire to sleep. As someone within the system, such a promotion was indeed a significant leap, as no matter how long he was assigned outside or how high a position he held, without solid backing, it was pointless. Just like now, he could flaunt the influence of Zhu Defu or Guo Baoming, but once they were gone, he would be nothing. Thus, climbing up was a one-way road.

"You seem really happy!"

While Lin Fan was washing up in the room, the freshly awakened Gao Min stood behind him naked, draping her arms around his neck. The fierce bout from last night had left her feeling weak this morning.

"I got a promotion and a raise, of course I’m happy."

Lin Fan spit out the toothpaste and washed his face with tap water, but Gao Min stretched lazily and pouted, "A Full Department Level only adds three to five hundred more, not even as much as one gift. Is it worth the excitement?"

"You’re right about that, but don’t forget, if it wasn’t for me, your billion-yuan daily sales company would have gone under. Give it another thought, what’s more important, money or power?"

Lin Fan turned around and pinched Gao Min’s nose. Abroad, capitalists are the main societal figures who support officials and attract politicians, so money outweighs power. But domestically, even billionaires must be polite to county leaders, as the backing behind each person can lead to their downfall. This eternal truth makes power over wealth the most stable societal structure.

"You are more important!"

Gao Min stuck out her tongue and hugged Lin Fan’s waist tightly, pressing her pretty face against his chest, "Dad, I feel like I can’t live without you anymore... You won’t abandon me, will you?"

"As long as you’re a good girl, how could I ever let you go?"

Caressing Gao Min’s smooth back and shapely buttocks, Lin Fan’s Dan Tian Fire began to burn again.

If it weren’t for work in the morning, he would have definitely taken her for another round.

"I’ll definitely be good."

Gao Min smiled and kissed Lin Fan’s face, "I just saw a message on the phone. My mom said that Gao Sheng is going to the store to see her this morning and he wants to set up a bedroom for her in the ancestral home so she can bring me and my sister back to recognize our ancestors. It seems that because of our relationship, he’s looking to mend things with my mom. He’s always so pragmatic."

"That’s good, it sounds like a reconciliation."

Thinking of the still charming Shu Feifei, Lin Fan smiled faintly.

"I don’t know what my mom is thinking, but at this moment, I don’t even want a room there anymore."

Gao Min pursed her lips. She had always been obsessed with returning to the ancestral home and recognizing her lineage but having stayed there for a night, she suddenly disliked the place, even felt repelled by it. After all, entering that house felt like entering a prison, losing her freedom, which was extremely significant for her, so now she scoffed at the so-called legitimacy.

"Maybe your mom wants that, after all, every woman ultimately needs a place to belong!"

Lin Fan shrugged, but Gao Min gave a mysterious smile, "How could that be possible? Don’t forget, my mom has a new boyfriend now. If she meets someone as excellent as you, even if they carried her in a sedan chair, she wouldn’t want to come back!"
