Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance

Zhang Tianbao's expression became serious and focused as he nodded slightly, taking a deep drag of his cigarette.

With the cigarette burnt down to the end, he solemnly snuffed it out in the ashtray.

Liu Zhizhong knew that this situation was out of the ordinary, having grown intimately familiar with the temperaments of leaders and what certain actions signified over his years in officialdom.

There and then, Liu Zhizhong sat up even straighter with impeccable posture, obediently seated just like an elementary school student.

This kind of behavior was most pleasing to leaders.

After all, in this country, leaders need to cultivate their own authoritative image and require subordinates who obediently listen and follow orders.

Your attitude of obediently sitting still is endearing, satisfying the desire for power!

Zhang Tianbao was naturally satisfied with Liu Zhizhong's performance, not to mention that he had always admired the younger man.

Zhang Tianbao said seriously, "Zhang Hongyang is in a period of illness, and the suggestions he made were not without reason. As the head of the City Organization Department, I too need to consider all aspects, balancing them thoroughly."

"Therefore, after much thought and consultation with others' opinions, including those of several deputy heads of the Organization Department and Secretary Du's personal views, I have made the following decision."

"Comrade Zhang Yuxing, the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, will soon be promoted to Yangzhou Mayor, with the rank of a full bureau leve…"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhizhong's expression remained unchanged, but his heart did give a start.

Indeed, the Zhang Family's influence was strong!

Under normal circumstances, a female secretary of the Municipal Committee like her would first need to serve as a deputy secretary or executive deputy mayor, transitioning for two or three years before she could formally become the mayor.

But now, she was being directly catapulted to the position!

Of course, cases like hers exist elsewhere, and they are exceptions. Since they are exceptions, they indicate special background connections and significant propulsion.

However, Liu Zhizhong wondered, what did Zhang Yuxing's promotion have to do with me?

Then he heard Zhang Tianbao continue, "Comrade Zhang Yuxing is young and vigorous, with a rich resume and achievements in county-level leadership roles. She has been adept in her few years with the City Committee and is well suited for this position."

"As she takes office in the City Government and becomes the top leader, she will need to form her own team. It just so happens that the office of Deputy Director of the City Government is vacant due to another appointment!"

"After extensive coordination, Comrade Liu Zhizhong, you are appointed as the Deputy Director of the City Government Office, with the rank of a deputy division. Of course, in Yangzhou, this position is equivalent to being the Mayor's chief secretary."

"Ah? This…" Liu Zhizhong was truly shocked, unable to suppress an exclamation of surprise.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Tianbao couldn't help but laugh, "What's the matter, Zhizhong?"

"It's just… I…" Liu Zhizhong shook his head, spreading his hands, "Ah, how do I deserve this… to serve Mayor Zhang!"

Of course, he was inwardly ecstatic.

This damn promotion to deputy division level was thrilling. He had barely been at the full department level for just over a year!

In the world of officialdom, this was just like a meteoric rise rocketing up.

Thinking of Zhang Yuxing's uniquely austere and attractive middle-aged charm and her irresistibly pert little backside, he found himself unable to stop desiring her.

Who says that only Zhang Hongyang likes middle-aged women? Yours truly, Liu Zhizhong, likes his cousin-in-law too, hehe…

The key point was that Zhang Yuxing was very clean. After her former boyfriend died in a car accident, she didn't date anyone, and had no love scandals in Yangzhou!

Though she was into her forties, what of it? She kept herself well; she was youthful and cool like a young wife—just my type, I like her, and I enjoy conquering her!

Besides, having accompanied her on long trips, hehe… I find it thrilling just to think about it. That's an emotional foundation, isn't it?

Zhang Hongyang, you fool, what if I accidentally go from being your brother-in-law to your cousin's father?

Let's wait and see, huhuhu…
