NOVEL NEXT Chapter 113: 113 Beautiful Female Director
Anyway, with gritted teeth, after Liu Zhizhong hung up the phone, the deposit for Villa No. 9 had been prepaid, a sum of ten thousand yuan.
The Zhang Family did business in Yangzhou with such dominance. Pay first, then consume, whether you like it or not. There were always plenty of people willing to patronize the Zhang Family's business.
In Yangzhou, any business the Zhang Family Members took a liking to, as long as they wanted in, was welcomed by others, often offering them a share of the profits.
Of course, with the Zhang Family's overwhelming power in Yangzhou, any business they were involved in made money for them and others. Even if a business incurred losses, it wouldn't affect them—it would only affect the state and the people.
Later, nearing noon, Liu Zhizhong didn't eat at the City Committee cafeteria but drove off directly to invite Zhang Xueyao to lunch at the Donghu Street Office in the Southern District.
Only in this way could he appear sincere, right?
Sincere men are the best at handling women!
Arriving at the office courtyard of Donghu Street, Liu Zhizhong got out of the car and was immediately recognized by the security guards, who greeted him with utmost respect.
At that moment, it happened to be lunchtime at the street office too.
Liu Zhizhong asked around and found out that a woman from the Zhang Family like Zhang Xueyao also had her privileges at a small grassroots place like the street office. It turned out she wasn't eating at the staff canteen but in her own office with someone specially bringing her meals. That was some serious clout!
Forget about Sister Qixiang. If Zhang Xueyao had an accident in Yangzhou and needed blood, it's conceivable that all the city officials would donate blood without the need for any formal notice. A simple phone call could get it done.
Of course, Donghu Street Office wasn't that small; it was the most economically powerful regular administrative unit in the Southern District. Moreover, the secretary of the Party at the street office was at the deputy division level, not just the regular level.
Over the years, Donghu Street Office had become a political paradise in the Southern District. Without exception, anyone who had been in a major or minor role there ended up getting promoted. Even those who had been deputies went on to better positions elsewhere.
Without going too far back, Liu Zhizhong's late father-in-law had served as secretary there; Deputy District Chief Zhang Hongyang had also been a secretary at the same place.
Now, with Zhang Xueyao taking charge of the street office, it wouldn't take more than two years before she would be up for a deputy division level promotion—likely to get promoted too.
Speaking of distant history, Zhang Hongyang's grandfather made his fortune here; do you acknowledge it? The largest wholesale market in the Southern District and the entire Yangzhou City, as well as the current Automobile City, the city's main bus terminal, the high-speed train station, and so on—are all set within the territory of Donghu Street Office. One can only imagine this economic strength.
At that time, Liu Haichuan also had the seniority to take the position as director, but Zhang Xueyao blocked his way. It must have been down to fate and circumstances.
Before Liu Haichuan even reached Zhang Xueyao's office, still a few doors away from the deputy directors' offices, he saw her office door open.
The bespectacled beauty from the Zhang Family, with a pure and lovely smile, her fair face tinged with a touch of blush, was waiting for Liu Haichuan!
She stood with her arms crossed in front of her, showing off the cleavage of her low-cut, purple, midi dress. Quite a sight, hmm!
Her figure was really quite decent; Liu Haichuan felt a warmth in his eyes and a mischievous heart.
She wasn't outstanding in college, just pretty. But after years in society, well, her figure has really developed.
Liu Haichuan approached with a beaming smile, radiant and comforting.
His tall stature and stylish demeanor indeed loosened Zhang Xueyao's defenses a bit.
The charm of this scoundrel was growing, a bit overwhelming.
It's just that he was already married, alas...
Soon, Liu Haichuan came up close and, with a smile, said, "Yo, seems like the people under Director Zhang are really quick with the news. Before I even got here, you came out to wait?"
"Ah, when such a distinguished guest from the City Committee graces us with his presence, wouldn't it be disrespectful not to wait, as a lower-level director? Secretary Liu, what instructions do you have for our humble place today?"
Zhang Xueyao pushed up her glasses elegantly, maintaining the composure of the street office director with a faint smile.
Anyway, it was not the time to go ga-ga over him anymore.
She was still a bit shy and hung up on the last failed endeavor. Brother Hongyang had been encouraging her to find the right moment to trick Liu Haichuan again.
Liu Haichuan chuckled, liking her attitude and, even more, the thought of her submitting under his boxers. He said, "What instructions can there be, Director Zhang, you flatter me. As a friend, can't I just come for a visit or invite you out for dinner tonight?"
"Eh? You're inviting me to dinner?"
Zhang Xueyao was somewhat surprised, then wondered if the opportunity to trap him had arisen again?
Hmm, she should discuss this with Brother Hongyang later.
Liu Haichuan nodded, whispering, "Yes, yes. Last time you treated me, this time it's my turn! I'm not the kind to like owing favors, especially..."
He paused, a natural look of guilt crossing his handsome face. In a lower, more magnetic voice, he continued, "This favor comes from a beautiful woman whom I once didn't cherish properly. I can't owe this one. So, tonight, at Sister Qixiang's Tianrun Villa's No. 9, it's just the two of us, starting from ten thousand yuan consumption upwards. You can choose whatever you like. Do you accept, or do you accept?"
