Chapter 119: Bringing out the best in adults
Liu Zhizhong was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "So, Luo Gang from the second secretary department wasn't demoted to work as the deputy director of his office? The guy is related to the Zhang Family, and he's always been interested in Luo Yanling. Could it be that Zhang Hongyang is trying to play matchmaker?"
In reality, Liu Zhizhong's statement had deviated from his initial gut feeling.
Because he thought, considering the grandson Zhang Hongyang's temperament, it was very likely that he himself had taken a fancy to Luo Yanling, right?
Ma Xudong, however, nodded, "Hmm, that's a possibility. But at the time, I didn't agree to him, just said that Luo Yanling was still on leave. Where she wants to go, the organization will wait for her to return from vacation to consider her personal wishes. Of course, that's just an excuse, and he can't really do anything to me. Nevertheless, what I'm more seriously suspecting is that the kid is up to no good and has taken a liking to Luo Yanling, right?"
Liu Zhizhong secretly marveled, it turns out that men in officialdom share very similar views and subconscious judgments. What I didn't want to say, Secretary Ma has bluntly pointed out.
Thereupon, he could only laugh, "Well... considering Young Master Zhang's traits, it's quite possible. But your excuse should shut him up. Later on, why not arrange Secretary Luo to another place and see Zhang Hongyang's reaction?"
"Hmm, good! You've got a good memory, and you're quite precise with your knowledge of local personnel organization data. Where do you think is more appropriate for Luo Yanling?"
"Hehe, well..."
"..."
One of the secretary's duties is to provide advice and suggestions to their superiors and devise strategies.
Liu Zhizhong and Ma Xudong did indeed have a long talk and tentatively settled on a direction for Luo Yanling. Afterwards, Ma Xudong would give a heads-up to the organizational department, and it would naturally follow through.
Liu Zhizhong returned to his office and made a personal call to Ma Qingqing.
After their encounter in the Provincial City, he still had Ma Qingqing's number and WeChat.
For such matters, it was better to make a personal call.
"Hey, Little Sister Qingqing, good afternoon! Are you at school?"
Liu Zhizhong's voice was very gentle and magnetic, a real ear cleaner.
Ma Qingqing felt a warm tingling in her heart and softly said, "Yes, Brother Zhizhong, I'm just sitting in the school's café. What's up?"
"Oh, nothing too big or too small. First, to ask after a pretty girl, how has the wound on your face healed?"
"Hehe... all good now, no marks to see."
"Are you sure it's completely healed?"
"Mhm!"
Liu Zhizhong said earnestly, "Having the wound on your face healed is a great thing, just stay beautiful and pure as usual. But healing from emotional trauma requires one process after another, you understand?"
"I don't know, Brother Zhizhong, why don't you explain? Hehe..."
"Oh, hehe, well, shall I explain? Would you like to listen?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"..."
To be fair, Liu Zhizhong knew how to speak, knew how to make girls happy, was humorous and witty, and had a pleasant voice. Ma Qingqing really took in what he said.
In any case, listening to Liu Zhizhong was like a treat.
In the end, she stated that she wouldn't make a fuss about the slap from her father.
Moreover, she also expressed that she would interact with Lu Yuqing, and although she wouldn't call her mom, she was okay with addressing her as auntie, after all, she took Brother Zhizhong's words to heart: to be an educated and cultured girl.
A little incident occurred in the meantime! At the end of the call, one of Ma Qingqing's female classmates entered the café and asked with a laugh, "Oh, Qingqing, who are you talking to? Your smile is so sweet and happy. Are you talking to a boyfriend? Who is it, what does he look like, how tall is he..."
Ma Qingqing immediately exclaimed, "Ah, not at all, he's just a brother..."
"Oh oh, already calling him brother?"
Ma Qingqing was so frustrated, she hurriedly said, "Brother Zhizhong, I've got to go, I know all that..."
Then, she hung up the phone.
This little incident, Liu Zhizhong heard very clearly, secretly feeling a touch of schadenfreude.
He didn't have that intention—to sleep with Secretary Ma's daughter, but after ending the call, he still smiled to himself and thought, if it were possible, it would indeed be a beautiful thing, but it was risky, so better not to think about it.
But in this world, who can predict everything?
What you think about may not come to fruition.
What you don't think about might be eagerly approaching you!
And who knows, in what manner Miss Ma might try to get close to Liu Zhizhong? Hehe...
That very afternoon at five o'clock, Liu Zhizhong left work early and headed to Tianrun Villa, arriving early at villa number 9.
He was getting to know the lay of villa number 9 and see what sort of person the young Miss Zhang, Zhang Qixiang, was while also pondering how to trip her up. Hehe...
This time, Liu Zhizhong drove his car directly into villa number 9's private underground parking garage.
This parking garage was truly exclusive, separated from other parking areas, leading only to villa number 9 and not to other villas or the main lobby.
This kind of facility service was exceptional, guaranteeing absolute privacy for guests.
Soon, Liu Zhizhong took the elevator straight up to the living room on the first floor of villa number 9.
Stepping out, he was a bit shocked...
