Chapter 582 "The Busty Teacher Who Masturbates"
Angus quietly finished smoking a cigarette and decided to temporarily set aside Audrey's affairs. After the holiday, he would be taking up the position of the director of the education bureau. There were a lot of things to consider. Previously, as the secretary general in the municipal government, he was just a supporting role. But now, he was about to become the lead, at least in the Starfall Town education system. Without his approval, nothing could be accomplished. He needed to quickly change his mindset and approach, not being too cautious or reckless. The first step had to be solid, gaining recognition throughout the entire education system.
As Angus was about to leave in his car, his phone suddenly rang. It was from an unknown number, and after a moment of hesitation, he answered.
"Hello, is this the secretary general?" a man's voice on the other end sounded somewhat nervous.
"I'm Angus, who am I speaking to?" Angus replied casually.
"Secretary General, I'm Owen, the deputy director of the education bureau. Tomorrow is not a holiday, and I would like to visit you to report on the work of our education bureau. Would that be convenient for you?" Owen inquired.
The education bureau's Owen? Angus was taken aback. This person seemed to be well-informed. He had only recently had a conversation with the organization department, and already the news had reached down to this level. However, Angus was not inclined to interact with the education bureau's personnel casually, to avoid giving them leverage. In a stern tone, he said, "Deputy Director, I have a meeting tomorrow and may not have time to receive you. Besides, I am not the leader of your education bureau, so how can I listen to your report? Thank you for your kind offer, goodbye," and he hung up the phone directly.
On the other end of the call, a middle-aged man with a shiny face looked at his phone with a hint of helplessness. Beside him, a man in his thirties asked anxiously, "Uncle, how did the director respond?"
This man was Quentin, and the middle-aged man beside him was his uncle, Owen, the deputy director of the education bureau. Owen had been in this position for ten years without any progress. Seeing his age advancing, he felt a sense of urgency. If he couldn't be promoted to a full department head soon, his career might stagnate. The current director of the education bureau was only a few years older than him. If he waited for the director to retire, Owen might be close to retirement himself. Therefore, Owen needed to establish a strong connection to remove the current director. When Quentin mysteriously informed him that the city's education bureau director was going to be replaced by Angus, the secretary general of the municipal government, Owen saw an opportunity. If he could establish a relationship with the incoming director early on, his dream of becoming the director might come true. So, he quickly called Angus, hoping to meet this influential figure in the city. However, to his disappointment, Angus coldly rejected him.
"The director said he has a meeting tomorrow and doesn't have time to listen to my report. Then he hung up the phone," Owen said dejectedly. Missing an opportunity was one thing, but having the chance slip away was even more frustrating.
"Uncle, you can't just let it go like this. This is a great opportunity. As long as Angus speaks up for you, your position as director will be secured," Quentin urged anxiously. The information was leaked to him by Vanessa, for which he paid her three thousand dollars, hoping that his uncle could become the director so that he could have more influence in the school.
"I know, but Angus completely ignored me. What can I do?" Owen felt helpless. Despite his status, he was insignificant in the eyes of someone like Angus.
"Uncle, I think we should go to the city tomorrow. We must find a way to meet Angus no matter what," Quentin suggested. Since Vanessa could obtain such confidential information, she might have a connection with Angus. Quentin was willing to pay Vanessa to arrange a meeting.
"Alright," Owen nodded, telling Quentin, "Ask your friend again to see if he can arrange a meeting with the director. Don't hesitate to spend money."
"Okay, Uncle," Quentin replied and left the study. He then called Vanessa.
"Quentin, it's late. Why are you calling me? I'm about to go to sleep," Vanessa's voice sounded lazy on the other end of the line.
Thinking about Vanessa's seductive figure, Quentin felt a surge of heat. Although their relationship was strained at the moment, they had been together for several years and had some feelings for each other. He couldn't forget Vanessa's skills in bed. She was definitely a seductress. Despite her ambitious nature, Quentin still considered maintaining a friends-with-benefits relationship with Vanessa. However, he knew it was unlikely. Vanessa was a schemer who quickly adapted to the city life, and she even managed to uncover the new appointment of the city's education bureau director. There was a possibility that she might rise above him in the future. Quentin had shifted his focus to Audrey; there was no need to offend Vanessa over trivial matters.
"Vanessa, there's something else I'd like to ask you. Could you arrange a meeting with the director for me? My uncle wants to meet him. Don't worry, name your price, and I'll pay whatever you ask," Quentin requested.
"Quentin, you're overestimating me. Angus is a prominent figure, the director of the Starfall Town education bureau. How could I possibly persuade him? I can't earn that kind of money," Vanessa replied with a smile.
