The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

To please this old man.

Jiang Yu went to great lengths to flatter him.

She not only learned to cook and warm the bed, but also put effort into her skills in bed.

Finally, as time went on, the old man let his guard down.

One afternoon when the old man went out to work.

She not only escaped that home but also took all his remaining savings, more than two thousand yuan, with her.

Jiang Yu, who had never traveled far alone, found herself too immature when facing this bustling city on her own.

It took a lot of effort.

She took buses and trains to the provincial capital, Bingzhou City.

For the first time, she witnessed the vibrant nightlife of a big city.

Jiang Yu was very excited.

But in her excitement.

The money in her pocket was completely stolen by a pickpocket.

A 17-year-old girl.

No ID card and no money.

Wearing tattered clothes.

Fortunately.

She still had a good look.

At this point, Jiang Yu stopped talking.

Chen Fang knew that that period of time must have been unbearable for her to recall.

And so it was.

Stranded with no relatives and no money, she walked into a massage parlor.

She worked there for two years.

While other girls enjoyed fine food, wore nice clothes, and spent their money freely, she didn't; she saved all her money.

After two years, with all her savings, she moved to a more prosperous place—Yuanjing.

That year.

She was twenty years old.

Each departure was a glamorous transformation for her.

In the past few years, Jiang Yu took one step at a time without a plan, but this time was different; she already had a plan. She wanted to become a model.

Why did such an idea occur to her?

It was also the other sisters at the massage parlor who told her.

They said Jiang Yu's figure was fantastic, and it was a waste for her to stay in that massage parlor. If she could become a model, the money would just roll in, and she might never run out of it in the future.

However, becoming a model wasn't so easy.

She needed connections and resources. Those remarks by her sisters were casually spoken, but Jiang Yu kept them firmly in her mind.

She realized that to achieve this dream, there was only one way—getting to know wealthy people.

So.

She went to the five-star International Hotel in Yuanjing at that time and applied to be a waitress.

From being a waitress, the wheels of her fate began to turn.

In those days, the people who could stay at the International Hotel were all prominent figures.

Soon.

Jiang Yu's graceful figure caught the attention of a wealthy man.

After several encounters.

This wealthy man spent money to keep her.

Upon learning of her desire to become a model.

This wealthy man helped her make connections.

Sure enough.

Just six months later, she became a cover model for a magazine.

But for Jiang Yu, that wasn't enough.

Using her beauty and figure, she further developed her network of contacts. By the time she was twenty-five, she had become a well-known socialite in Yuanjing.

Besides business tycoons, she also met many officials.

Of course.

She remained clear-headed at that time.

She knew very well that even though she lacked nothing now.

Ultimately, she was still just a man's plaything.

Once she aged and lost her looks, they would discard her like trash. She needed her own circle; by leveraging power against power, she could stand firm.

From that moment, she began to conceive the idea of the "Cloud Sky Banquet."

At first.

Such banquets only served as a pimping function.

She used her network to introduce these "peripherals" to wealthy patrons.

To put it bluntly, it was high-end flesh trade.

After a few years of operation, it was quite effective, and she further developed the circle into a platform for socialites to connect with the powerful, where some carefully groomed women married into powerful families.

A few more years later.

The resources she held in her hands were anything but ordinary.

Just think, those so-called socialites were all groomed by her, she knew everything about them, and since they became the wives of the powerful, wouldn't they have to listen to her "commands"?

And so.

By "indirectly saving the country" methods.

She began to truly manage an "empire by the pillow."

With this foundation.

Three years ago, she upgraded the "Cloud Sky Banquet" once again.

It completely transformed into a networking avenue for the powerful, those with authority and wealth needed to meet each other, and Cloud Sky Banquet fully met their needs.

Of course, it had other functions as well.

In the Cloud Sky Club, whether you needed to settle affairs, launder money, or even buy and sell official positions, all could be accomplished in one go.

These deeds, whether respectable or not.

Became Jiang Yu's capital.

To this point.

A woman born into poverty finally stood firm in Yuanjing.

Coming to this.

Jiang Yu's story was finally told.

To be honest, Chen Fang was a bit emotional.

What was this?

This was a saga of a great woman protagonist's struggle!

There would always be those who say that crossing social classes is hard, but Jiang Yu did it at 33.

Every step of her plan was clear and precise.

It was really hard for him to imagine how she accomplished this with only a junior high school education.

"You're great at swimming. Did you learn it professionally?"

Chen Fang took a long breath and asked.

Jiang Yu smiled sweetly and said, "Not just swimming, I also know martial arts, yoga, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, flower arranging... In short, anything I want to learn, I will learn to its best. Those powerful people, no matter what their hobbies are, I will learn until I can talk to them."

A buzz went through Chen Fang.

When he looked at Jiang Yu again, he found she was different from any woman he knew.

"You're strong, I admire you very much."

Chen Fang said sincerely.

Jiang Yu smiled gently, looked at Chen Fang, and said, "Likewise, I admire Mr. Chen a lot too; to shake the heavens and move the earth by yourself is a model I should learn from."

Chen Fang was taken aback and asked, "You know me well?"

"If I didn't understand, I don't think Mr. Chen would be sitting next to me now. Whenever I take the initiative to befriend someone, I will fully understand their background."

While saying this, Jiang Yu didn't seem proud, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.

"Then can you tell me now, what your purpose is in helping me?"

Chen Fang asked.

Jiang Yu stared closely at Chen Fang's face for a long time.

She murmured, "An investment, staking all my assets on an investment, in exchange for Mr. Chen's protection for the rest of my life. You and all the resources of my Cloud Sky Club are at your disposal. The return is that no matter what happens in the future, you will ensure my safety... How about this deal?"
