Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance

"What? You want me to play around with TikTok?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yuxing's request, Liu Zhizhong's face, which had previously worn a flattering, fawning expression, changed dramatically with astonishment.

"No, no... Mayor Zhang, don't you really hate TikTok? Isn't that a gathering place for low-end, brain-dead types? How come... you're now encouraging me to get on it, making it seem like a work task?"

Zhang Yuxing's face turned slightly unnatural as she said, "Actually, I think TikTok is quite interesting! I downloaded and installed it last night, and browsed it until late, hehe..."

She was clearly embarrassed to laugh, covering up her own awkwardness!

Liu Zhizhong was even more shocked, and then couldn't help smiling, "Right, it's quite fun, isn't it? I think you must've seen that popular TikTok video of ours, haven't you?"

"Mm-hm, I saw it, and I saw some others too. Considering your abilities, I think you could give it a try."

"Ah? What abilities do I have?"

"Your a cappella singing is really good! I saw some TikTok accounts that only sing a cappella, they get lots of traffic and are really popular, making quite a bit of money! And many of them aren't as good as you!"

Liu Zhizhong's head started to feel heavy, "Leader, my goal isn't to be popular, it's not to seek fame, but to serve my leaders and do revolutionary work! What's all this about playing TikTok? If I become popular again, that would be neglecting my official duties. Besides, I don't make money off that, do I?"

Zhang Yuxing wiped her mouth and looked at Liu Zhizhong seriously, "I'm not asking you to become popular and make money, but to make me happy, just for my joy, understand?"

Her expression was rather oppressive, and her words carried even more authority, as if she were a high-ranking autocrat.

Liu Zhizhong was stunned, thinking to himself, 'What a dame, I've really turned into a lapdog, all to please you!'

However, he immediately responded seriously, "Alright! If it makes you happy, I'll sing. But I do have some other conditions!"

"Fine, it's good you've agreed. Let's hear them."

"I can't show my face while singing, that wouldn't be good for the image of an excellent Party and government official, right?"

Saying this, Liu Zhizhong still smiled.

Zhang Yuxing gave a small smile and nodded, "Mm-hm, that's certainly true. You sing your songs, and use scenery and such for the videos without showing yourself. That way, you also avoid any unnecessary trouble should you accidentally become famous."

"Thank you, Leader, that's really great. Also, if by chance I do become popular, I won't live stream, I won't promote products. All my time has to be spent on work, not on this. So…"

Zhang Yuxing nodded again, interrupting Liu Zhizhong, "No problem. No matter how popular you get, you mustn't live stream or promote products. All I want is for you to showcase your a cappella skills, to be better than those who rely on soundboards and still aren't that good, and yet manage to become popular. I want to reassure myself that my judgment wasn't wrong in choosing my secretary."

Liu Zhizhong felt a sense of relief in his heart and gratefully said, "Thank you for your understanding, Leader; I'll work hard."

But in his mind, he thought, 'You just want to be happy, right? Heh heh...

Once I manage to get you into bed and you taste that flavor, you're likely to be even happier. By then, life in Yangzhou wouldn't be afraid of anyone.'

Zhang Yuxing was very pleased, "Alright, I'm almost done eating. This morning, let's pick a scenic spot that's a little secluded, and you can record your first TikTok a cappella piece, and I'll accompany you."

"Okay, whatever the Leader arranges. Oh, I need to check to change my TikTok account nickname."

"What's your account? I'll add you first and give you some advice."

Zhang Yuxing was really hooked on this and had taken it to heart.

"Sure thing, Leader's advice is absolutely needed!" Liu Zhizhong immediately pulled out his phone with a chuckle.

"You, you're really sensible and obedient..."

"I'm the Leader's person; I must be sensible and obedient. Otherwise, that would never do, absolutely not!"

This earnest 'Cao Cao' tone, laden with insinuations of driving, not only didn't anger Zhang Yuxing but instead made her laugh out loud, hehe...
