"Liu Zhizhong, you..." Zhang Xueyao was furious on the spot, her pretty face flushed red, and she stamped her high-heel shoe, her voice rising significantly.
When she was in college, she took the initiative to chase after Liu Zhizhong, who didn't even look her way. It was simply the most indelible dark history of her life. How could Liu Zhizhong's turnaround not be a fatal blow to her?
Liu Zhizhong hastily raised his hand, making a silencing gesture, and smiled, "Keep it down, you're a woman of the Yangzhou Zhang Family, already promoted to a department-level leading cadre. Isn't yelling indecent? Quite embarrassing, right? Those who don't know the truth might think I did something to you, but I am a loyal and honest man of integrity!"
Feeling he had backup, he began to act unrestrainedly, and Liu Zhizhong's level of political combat started to emerge.
Zhang Xueyao was choked up, her slim finger pointing at Liu Zhizhong's nose, shaking it forcefully, her silver teeth clenched as she said, "So you blind dog is getting cocky now, huh? Fine, just you wait, as long as the Zhang family is in Yangzhou for one day, you won't have a single day of peace! Humph!"
Having said that, she angrily turned and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help feeling envious.
This bespectacled woman, the director of the street office, a 28-year-old leftover woman, heh, still quite appealing.
Not to mention her beautiful face, her ample chest was magnificent, plus that slender willowy waist, and the swaying voluptuous buttocks, the long white slender legs, truly captivating!
Subconsciously, Liu Zhizhong sighed to himself: If only in college, I was as unrestrained as your cousin Zhang Hongyang, then I would have slept with you long ago.
If there's a chance now, sleeping with her would be worth it!
Damn Zhang Hongyang, you son of a bitch are suppressing me every step of the way; believe it or not, I'll sleep with your cousin sister, your blood sister, your wife, your actual sister?
Shit, the women of the Zhang family, I think they are all quite beautiful and sexy, worth it!
Big Baby Liu, insane about his aunt, will definitely make them scream and beg, driving you mad, you son of a bitch!
The more he thought about these things, the fiercer the flame of evil in Liu Zhizhong's heart raged!
The inner demon of a man in the officialdom began to thicken and gradually roar. He was truly becoming possessed.
After a trip to relieve himself, Liu Zhizhong came back with a seemingly changed heart, harboring ulterior motives, picked up his phone, and dialed Zhang Xueyao's number.
"Director Zhang, um..."
"Beat it! I don't want to hear your voice right now, don't bother me! I will never let you off the hook!" The source of thɪs content is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
Zhang Xueyao screeched, interrupting Liu Zhizhong, then hung up the phone.
Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but laugh. Never going to let me off the hook, huh?
Then bring it on, let's hurt each other!
He scrolled to Zhang Xueyao's WeChat and sent a voice message.
"Director Zhang, don't be so angry. Take care of your health! It was because of your sarcasm that I lost control of my emotions and treated you that way. It was a bit rude of me, so I apologize and say sorry. When we have time, let's meet up, I'll take you out for a meal and a drink, to offer a thorough apology for my actions, okay?"
His voice was low and magnetic, and he spoke very formally, appearing extremely sincere.
To be honest, Zhang Xueyao found this voice quite comforting. It tenderly vibrated her eardrums and stirred her heartstrings.
But she waited a bit before replying, "Get lost! Don't come at me with that crap, I'm not buying it!"
After replying, she seemed to regret it.
Dining and drinking, why not agree? Getting back at the blind dog for a meal would be sweet!
However, she immediately looked forward to it, thinking, you damned mutt, if you invite me again show some sincerity, I might just agree.
On his end, seeing her response, Liu Zhizhong persisted with his magnetic and genuine voice, "Alright, I'll get lost, I won't bother Director Zhang anymore. I hope that on the road of life ahead of you, your official career will flourish and continue to rise. I also hope, considering our past fateful relationship, that you can be a little more open-minded, and we can get along amiably! That's it, cheer up. I will continue to drink my coffee, enjoying a laid-back life. Clearly, Director Zhang, you have a much larger future ahead of you, and you wouldn't lie down with me, right?"
Zhang Xueyao watched, her pretty face darkening, a hint of disappointment rising in her heart.
This damn dog, so annoying!
All she could do was angrily reply again, "Get lost, go far away, don't bother me! Of course, you're the one who should 'lie flat', I refuse to join you!"
After waiting a while, with no reply from Liu Zhizhong, she became truly angry but was helpless and unwilling to lower her proud dignity by sending a message first.
Meanwhile, at the Zhao family's villa, the atmosphere was very pleasant.
Mayor Ma Xudong graced it with his presence, meeting important relatives and friends of his wife's family, convening for dinner, which of course was very ceremonious.
In the Zhao family's large villa, Zhang Hongyang, son-in-law, had returned early with his wife Zhao Han and had called over workers to clean the villa's yard spotlessly, washing the ground several times and pruning the flowers and plants.
The interior of the villa was also decorated with fresh flowers and the like, making the atmosphere feel very warm.
Zhang Hongyang, the 32-year-old Executive Deputy Mayor of the Southern District, knew how to curry favor with his new Uncle by marriage.
His grandfather was the Old Secretary of the Yangzhou City Committee, and his father was also Yangzhou City Secretary until he retired two years ago. With deep and extensive connections, the Zhang family was virtually an unchallenged empire within Yangzhou—true local emperors.
Zhang Hongyang harbored great ambitions, aiming to one day become the Mayor of this place himself, continuing the family legacy through three, four generations, and even considered stepping out of Yangzhou, aiming for provincial-level positions!
So, when Mayor Ma Xudong came over to take over from his father, Zhang Hongyang had been circling around Secretary Ma, climbing up step by step!
Secretary Ma also showed the Zhang family respect. Zhang Hongyang rapidly advanced, now—the Executive Deputy Mayor of the economically strongest Southern District.
Actually, for Zhang Hongyang, Lu Yuqing's marriage made him very happy; after all, his rise in rank benefited from it, and it's not like his aunt could stay a widow for his uncle forever, right?
Of course, while his aunt was a widow, Zhang Hongyang had felt 'itchy'. After all, Lu Yuqing was 34, and he was 32—a compatible age, and a beautiful and sexy widow could hardly resist attracting her handsome nephew.
Yet he didn't know that his aunt was really dissatisfied with Secretary Ma and, instead, incredibly fond of Liu Zhizhong. Liu Zhizhong, about to become his unofficial in-law uncle, was enjoying the woman he could only dream of and was even showing his claws, ready to go after his cousin sister Zhang Xueyao!
But Zhang Xueyao's biological father, incidentally, was also Zhang Hongyang's father, the eldest of the Zhang family!
Big families, you see, have complicated relationships. The circles of officialdom, even more so…
