“By the way, I heard that your proposal was rejected. Sigh, actually, it’s not as difficult to pass as you imagined.”

Xue Ya walked up to Qin Xi. Wearing high-heels, she wanted to give Qin Xi a sense of oppression by looking down at her.

However, when she walked up, she actually felt an invisible pressure, making her unable to take a further step closer to Qin Xi.

This was no wonder. Qin Xi now had the second level of the mystic medicine technique. If she did not restrain herself, the magnetic field around her would naturally be too strong and prevent ordinary people from approaching her.

Qin Xi had only released a little of her power, but it was enough to keep Xue Ya at bay. It could be seen how powerful the second level of the mystic medicine technique was.

“Oh? I wonder what brilliant ideas Secretary Xue has.”

Xue Ya couldn’t help but be attracted to look at Qin Xi’s fair and delicate skin. She felt an inexplicable sense of jealousy.

She did not know why, but logically speaking, she should be grateful that Qin Xi had helped her.

However, when she thought of how a village girl actually had money that she would never be able to earn in her lifetime, she felt like her heart was on fire, as if it was about to burn her to ashes.

She was indignant. Why was Qin Xi so lucky? She had worked so hard and only managed to be a secretary.

She felt all sorts of emotions surging in her heart. She even had a terrifying thought that she wanted Qin Xi to lose everything, not for anything else, but because she disliked her.

Qin Xi did not know what Xue Ya was thinking, but she could sense from the aura Xue Ya gave off that she was hostile.

She raised her eyebrows, wondering what was on Xue Ya’s mind.

“My idea might not necessarily be brilliant. Miss Qin, you don’t know the rules of this industry. When you’re out doing business, you need to do a lot of networking and deal with interpersonal relationships.”

A hint of mockery flashed across Xue Ya’s eyes. “Have you ever seen someone ask another person for a favor without gifts or money? Therefore, Miss Qin, if you want to avoid trouble, you have to spend a lot of money!”

“I happen to know someone in the Land Bureau. If Miss Qin needs help, I can help you get in touch with the person who can solve the matter for you.”

Qin Xi looked at her calmly and asked with a smile, “Oh? Then how much do you think I should spend?”

“At least this much.” Xue Ya put out three fingers.

Qin Xi blinked. “300?”

Xue Ya was speechless, thinking to herself, “You country bumpkin, what can 300 do?”

She rolled her eyes and said angrily, “What 300? 300 yuan is not enough to treat a leader to a meal! It’s 300,000 yuan. For someone like Miss Qin who can easily fork out 680,000 yuan, 300,000 yuan shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?”

Qin Xi nodded and replied affirmatively, “Indeed, 300,000 yuan is indeed not a lot to me.”

Hearing that, Xue Ya felt even more jealous. On second thought, this was a good time to get rich. As long as Qin Xi could take out 300,000 yuan, she would be able to pocket at least 100,000 yuan. Wouldn’t it be nice?

At the thought of this, Xue Ya’s eyes lit up with greed and even her breathing became more rapid. “That’s right. As long as you take out 300,000 yuan, I can settle this matter for you once and for all. You don’t have to worry about anything in the future. Besides, the person I know is very powerful. He’s the assistant of the Deputy Director and has a lot of authority. If you can bribe him, everything will be a piece of cake.”

Qin Xi suddenly asked, “I heard from the mayor that you were the one who sent my application to the city. Is that true, Secretary Xue?”

Xue Ya was stunned, as if she did not expect her to ask this. She nodded and admitted, “It’s me. Is there a problem?”

“I suddenly wonder if the bureau really received my application or not. Besides, I don’t think they will ask me for 300,000 yuan openly. Secretary Xue, what do you think will happen if I write an anonymous letter to report you to the authorities?”
