"Liu Zhizhong, you..." Zhang Xueyao was so infuriated on the spot that her pretty face turned red, she stomped her high heel, and her voice rose significantly.
Back in college, she actively pursued Liu Zhizhong, who did not even fancy her, which was simply an indelible dark history in her life. This turn of events by Liu Zhizhong, how could it not deeply stab her?
Liu Zhizhong quickly raised his hand, made a silencing gesture, and smiled, "Keep your voice down, you are a woman of the Yangzhou Zhang Family, already promoted to a full division-level leadership cadre. This yelling is unbecoming, isn't it embarrassing? 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 backed, he began to run wild—Liu Zhizhong's level of political struggle began to show.
Zhang Xueyao was so choked up, she raised her slender finger to Liu Zhizhong's nose, shaking it as she clenched her teeth and said, "You blind dog getting cocky now, huh? Fine, just wait, as long as the Old Zhang family stays in Yangzhou a single day, you won't have a single good day! Humph!"
Having said that, she turned angrily and left.
Liu Zhizhong watched her shadow and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
This woman in gold-rimmed glasses, director of the neighborhood office, 28 years old and still single, hey, she's quite tasty.
Not to mention her beautiful face, that chest is quite impressive, coupled with her slim waist, and that swaying pert bottom, along with snowy, slender legs, truly captivating!
Subconsciously, Liu Zhizhong sighed in his heart: In college, why wasn't I as wild as your cousin Zhang Hongyang? If I had been, I would have bedded you by now.
Eh?
If there's a chance now, bedding you would still be worth it!
God damn Zhang Hongyang, you constantly suppress me, believe it or not, I'll sleep with your cousin, your sister, your wife, your older sister?
Damn, the women of your Zhang family, now that I think about it, each is quite beautiful and sexy, not bad at all!
Driving your little aunt crazy, Big Baby Liu, surely making them scream and shout for life, will kill you, damn it!
The more he thought about these things, the more the evil fire in Liu Zhizhong's heart raged!
The inner demon of a man in the political arena began to thicken, gradually roaring, really becoming possessed.
After returning from a pee, Liu Zhizhong felt a huge shift in mood, harboring ill intentions, he picked up his phone and dialed Zhang Xueyao's mobile number.
"Director Zhang, uh..."
"Beat it! I don't want to hear your voice right now, quit bothering me! I'll never let you go!"
Zhang Xueyao screamed and then hung up the phone.
Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but laugh, never going to let me go, huh?
Then bring it on, let's hurt each other!
He then found Zhang Xueyao's WeChat and sent a voice message.
"Director Zhang, don't be so angry, take care of your health! I too was somewhat out of control because of your sarcasm, which made me behave that way towards you, thinking back, it was somewhat ungentlemanly. Hereby, I apologize and say I'm sorry. When you have time later, let's meet up, I'll treat you to a meal and a drink, to fully apologize for my actions, alright?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, and his words were very formal, making him seem extremely sincere.
Zhang Xueyao found the sound quite comfortable to listen to, soothing her eardrums and sending tremors through her heartstrings.
But she waited a while before replying, "Get lost! Don't use that trick on me; I'm not falling for it!"
After replying, she seemed to regret it.
Eating and drinking, why shouldn't she agree? It might be nice to fleece the blind dog for a meal!
However, she immediately hoped, "Damn thing, if you invite me again to show your sincerity, I'll really agree."
On the other end, Liu Zhizhong, seeing this, replied earnestly and magnetically, "Alright, I'll get lost, and won't bother Director Zhang anymore. I wish that on the road ahead in life, your career will flourish. I also hope that, considering our shared fate, you can be a bit more open-minded, and we can get along well! That's it, cheer up, I'll continue to drink my coffee, enjoying a laid-back life. Obviously, Director Zhang has a bright future ahead and won't lie down with me, right?"
Zhang Xueyao looked so annoyed, a touch of disappointment rising in her heart.
This damned nuisance, so annoying!
All she could do was reply furiously, "Scram, and stay far away from me! Don't bother me! Of course, you can lie down if you want, but I'm not joining you!"
After waiting a while, there was no reply from Liu Zhizhong, and she was truly furious but helpless, unwilling to lower her dignified pride to initiate a message.
On the other side, at the Zhao family villa, the atmosphere was quite cheerful.
The Mayor, Ma Xudong, personally visited, meeting the significant relatives from his wife's side for dinner, which had to be very grand.
In the large Zhao family villa, son-in-law Zhang Hongyang had come early with his wife, Zhao Han, and had called workers to clean the villa's yard spotlessly, washing the ground several times and trimming the plants.
Inside the villa, fresh flowers were also arranged, making the whole ambiance very warm and welcoming.
Zhang Hongyang, a 32-year-old Deputy District Head of the Southern District, was also quite adept at currying favor with his new uncle by marriage.
His grandfather was the former City Secretary of Yangzhou, and his father had also been the City Secretary of Yangzhou until his retirement two years ago. The Zhang family held sway over Yangzhou, with extensive connections and was virtually an Emperor in their right.
Zhang Hongyang harbored grand ambitions, aiming to one day become the City Secretary himself, keeping the position within the family for generations to come. He even aspired to step beyond Yangzhou and advance to the provincial level!
Thus, when City Secretary Ma Xudong took over from his father, Zhang Hongyang focused his efforts around Secretary Ma, climbing up the ladder step by step!
Out of respect for the Zhang family, Ma Xudong facilitated Zhang Hongyang's promotion twice within three years. Now, he had become the Deputy District Head of the economically strongest Southern District.
Indeed, Zhang Hongyang was pleased that Lu Yuqing had married, turning his second aunt into the wife of a secretary. After all, it benefited his own promotion as long as it was advantageous, how could his second aunt remain widowed for his uncle's sake forever?
Of course, while his second aunt was widowed, Zhang Hongyang also felt tempted. After all, Lu Yuqing was 34, and he was 32—a suitable match in age. A widowed second aunt was both beautiful and sexy, inevitably attracting the attention of this older nephew.
However, he didn't know that his second aunt was really dissatisfied with Secretary Ma but was extremely fond of Liu Zhizhong. Liu Zhizhong, who was now his uncle by marriage, was enjoying the woman he had dreamt of, even showing his true colors, preparing to go after his cousin, Zhang Xueyao!
But Zhang Xueyao's biological father was still none other than Zhang Hongyang's father, the elder of the Zhang family!
A large family, complicated relationships. The circle of officials, even more complicated…
