Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance

Liu Zhizhong spread his hands helplessly and said, "The decision from above isn't something I can influence. I think there must be some deeper meaning, right? Like, sending me to a challenging place to hone my skills, then giving me some policies and benefits so I can achieve something..."

This was self-consolation, also meant to comfort the displeased mother and daughter.

But Lu Yumei rolled her eyes at him, "Come on, Liu Zhizhong, my good son-in-law, stop daydreaming. The worst city in the province is Dongguang State, and the worst autonomous county there is Shanan. They're sending you to that godforsaken place, expecting you to achieve something economically? Can you do that? Just thinking about those barren mountains is depressing! And Shanan seems to be right next to that bastard Zhang Hongyang's Shadong, right? You intend to achieve something, but how much ridicule will you face from him? I really want to go to the city or the province to help you argue for something, but... sigh..."

Zhao Han wore a bitter expression, still looking at the man with concern, and said, "Mom, don't say such scary things! What if Zhizhong actually succeeds?"

"Come on, Han Han, does your mother know less than you do?"

Zhao Han was left speechless.

Liu Zhizhong could only smile and say, "Alright, let's eat and not let this affect our mood. If we don't eat, the baby in Zhao Han's belly needs to eat! Since this is the arrangement from above, I have to go, I can't disobey. In officialdom, one cannot help themselves! Of course, my connections, those can still be used. Making something of Shanan, it's not out of the question..."

After this round of comfort, the dinner table finally quieted down.

But it was obvious, Lu Yumei also felt sorry for Liu Zhizhong, looking a bit downcast.

Zhao Han did not speak, she ate well, as her child's father's aspirations weren't met, she couldn't let that affect herself and the child, especially when the fetus was developing.

The next morning, when the three of them were leaving, Liu Zhizhong packed up some river delicacies, all of which were gifts for the leaders.

Still, Lu Yuqing had some complaints, saying, "Why even bother sending gifts? All the good things you send will just feed those ungrateful wolves, won't they? You can't count on them for good jobs, yet they readily send you to shitty places. In their eyes, what do you count as, Liu Zhizhong?"

After a night, Liu Zhizhong became calmer, as he had already started researching Shanan, this ethnic minority autonomous county, and indeed, found some solutions.

"Mrs. Lu, don't say that, sending gifts is still necessary. Some relationships need to be maintained, you never know when you might need them. Also, this time when I go back with gifts, I must ask the relevant leaders what better arrangements they have for sending me there."

"Is this not proof that you're dissatisfied inside?"

"Haha, people..."

"..."

Of course, Liu Zhizhong could feel that Lu Yumei's attitude was genuinely treating him as both a son-in-law and a son, afraid he might suffer losses!

Isn't it a blessing to have a mother-in-law like this in one's life?

Just on their way back, sure enough, the latest personnel appointment notice came out.

Zhao Han had access to the related account, and she read it out to Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong smiled slightly, nodded, "Don't worry, my woman, I promise in front of our child, no matter where I am, I will definitely achieve something."

Zhao Han nodded, "Yes, it's a bit of grievance, but I believe in you, go for it, hubby!"

Liu Zhizhong nodded, floored the gas pedal, the car sped up...
