The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official

Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Endless Retaliation

"Teacher Bai, what a coincidence that you’re also eating here. I’m hosting a lunch for friends today. Why don’t you join us and show them the grace of our town’s beautiful teacher?"

The man, with a potbelly, reached out sleazily to grab Bai Xue’s slender arm but she skillfully avoided him. "Principal Lu, I don’t drink, and I’m here dining with friends, so it’s really not convenient."

"Teacher Bai, you’re really embarrassing me here, it’s just a drink, it won’t kill you!" noveldrama

Principal Lu, sensing Bai Xue’s resistance, immediately put on a stern face. "This is the organization trusting you, a necessity for your job. You can’t be timid. Don’t forget, your official appointment still hasn’t been resolved; you’re only temporarily allocated. Don’t you want to sort it out soon?"

"Principal Lu, my official position should depend on my experience and teaching ability. I’m not a bar girl. Since when does accompanying someone for drinks fall within official duties?"

Bai Xue argued vehemently, staring at Principal Lu. The man was taking advantage of his position as vice principal, always lording it over others. No female teacher in the school wasn’t annoyed by him.

"What are you saying? Are business dinners not work-related? The people sitting here include leaders from the City Education Bureau. As a young teacher, you should naturally be at the forefront. What’s wrong with that? Comrade, you mustn’t waste the leaders’ efforts in nurturing you. I’m even giving you the chance to propose a toast. Otherwise, once Mr. Zhu arrives, you won’t have a chance."

Principal Lu’s face darkened, his words carrying an implicit threat. Lin Fan frowned, surprised to hear Zhu Zhixuan’s situation involved too. This couldn’t just be left at that.

"Let someone else go then, I don’t care. If that doesn’t work, I can have my husband come and toast."

Bai Xue stood her ground, bringing up her husband which visibly deflated Principal Lu’s arrogance a bit. Though her husband wasn’t a top leader, he was still part of the town’s leadership.

"Forget it, I tried to offer you a chance to shine and you didn’t seize it; don’t blame me for not supporting you later."

Principal Lu waved his hand in anger and strode towards the private room, while Bai Xue led Lin Fan to a spot by the window and sat down. After casually ordering some dishes, Bai Xue began to complain.

"That Lu, he’s just a pervert. Every time he sees young female teachers, he can’t keep his eyes off them. He always used work as an excuse to meet us privately, which has gotten more and more outrageous."

"Was Zhu Zhixuan also threatened?"

Lin Fan looked out the window, people bustling about, ready to focus further on Zhu Zhixuan’s situation.

"He wouldn’t have dared before, since Zhu Zhixuan’s husband’s family had connections in the county. But you know, since her father-in-law was invited for tea by the Discipline Inspection Commission, this old creep started reaching out. It’s typical—the weak are prey to the strong. And with the professional title evaluations coming up, it looks like Mr. Zhu is in trouble too."

Bai Xue sighed, yet in such cases, one could only fend for oneself. Being able to protect oneself was already fortunate.

As they spoke, Zhu Zhixuan arrived at the entrance, riding an electric scooter, her face slightly haggard. A pang of pain hit Lin Fan’s heart. He found an excuse to stand up and head towards the entrance, facing Zhu Zhixuan as she entered the restaurant.

Upon seeing Lin Fan, Zhu Zhixuan was startled, but he didn’t wait for a response, immediately grabbing her delicate wrist and pulling her aside into a bathroom. As the door shut, the cramped space left only them.

"You... What are you going to do?"

Zhu Zhixuan stared straight at Lin Fan, her eyes filled with a trace of fear, especially after the incident in the cornfield, her wariness towards Lin Fan had only increased.

"Are you going to accompany them for drinks?"

Lin Fan’s stern face made Zhixuan’s complexion change involuntarily before she sighed, "What else can I do? My parents blame me for not being competitive, my in-laws blame me for bringing bad luck to my husband, and all I have left is my job. If I fail to get a promotion, I’ll have nothing left."

"But you should know that Principal Lu is not a good man. Do you think just toasting with a glass of wine will get you through? If you go, he will only take further advantage, probably thinking right now about how to get you drunk and take advantage of you."

Lin Fan pinned Zhixuan against the wall, and she couldn’t help but lower her head, aware of some things, yet choosing not to think about them.

"Right now, the power over my job lies in his hands. Do I have a choice? But I will be cautious, I absolutely won’t let him succeed."

"You do have a choice, you have me!"

Lin Fan grabbed Zhixuan’s hand and looked into her eyes, saying, "I know you hate me for that absurd incident in the cornfield, and you don’t know how to face me, but I remember the favor you did for me all my life. As long as I’m here, I will never allow anyone to bully you. Do you believe me?"

"Do you think I believe you?"

Zhixuan slightly tilted her head and countered without answering.

"Of course, otherwise, when I pulled you in here without any resistance from you, it just proves that deep down, you still trust me."

Lin Fan reached out and pinched Zhixuan’s chin, his reasoning strengthened by the fact that she had not hesitated or struggled at all on the way here, proving her trust in him.

"Disgusting... I just thought you wanted revenge on Cai Xuliang, it’s not like you haven’t gotten revenge on him before!"

Zhixuan blushed, her pierced feelings naturally wouldn’t allow her to admit it, but her soft-spoken words revealed a gentle and affectionate sentiment.

"You guessed right, I do want to take revenge on him."

Lin Fan intuitively reached out, pulled Zhixuan by her waist, and held her tightly against him. He then lowered his head and captured her lush, ripe lips.

"Umm..."

Zhixuan only pounded on Lin Fan’s chest twice before she stopped resisting altogether and instead wrapped her arms tightly around Lin Fan’s neck. The confined space intensified their breaths, and Lin Fan’s dishonest hands slipped under her white dress, his nimble fingers stirring continuously soon leaving Zhixuan feeling weak and limp in his arms.

"The revenge starts now."

Lin Fan laughed as he turned Zhixuan around, having her hands brace against the sink and observing her face flushed with blush in the mirror, hardly able to wait, he lifted her skirt and immediately went straight to the point.

Watching their reflections in the mirror, and Lin Fan behind her, Zhixuan struggled to control the long-missed tingling sensation. The relentless onslaught left her body limp on the sink, hands restrained behind her back, like a submissive prisoner under his control. Lin Fan, holding her delicate hands, kicked his efforts up to maximum, fiercely charging towards her peachy paradise.

The cramped, enclosed space was completely filled with their heavy breathing. Gradually, the overwhelmed Zhixuan grew wilder, and at that moment, both were caught in an intertwined mesh of love and hate, reluctant to separate for a long time.
