NOVEL NEXT Chapter 324: 324 is really wronged
Zhang Hongyang was still hoodwinked by Zhao Han, but really, he was caught by Liu Zhizhong's trickery.
This guy, he also cared about his face. He couldn't let a marital spat cause an uproar throughout the city, could he?
He could only flip angrily off the sofa, cursing while putting on his shoes, "This damn wife, if it weren't for me still wanting to play with you, to get you pregnant; if it weren't for me about to become the new County Mayor of Shadong, starting a new domain, I wouldn't let you hold me by the nose like this! Damn Liu Zhizhong, just you wait, I'll definitely make a triumphant return to Yangzhou, huh..."
With that said, he snorted coldly, lit a cigarette, and leisurely headed out the door to go downstairs.
Liu Zhizhong was sweating under the desk by now, letting out a long sigh of relief when it seemed safe. Bastard, you damn well embarrassed me!
But I don't believe you could still sleep with Zhao Han, let alone get her pregnant.
I'm even less convinced that you can stir up any trouble in Shadong County!
Right, I've got to think, which key leaders in Shadong have been handled by the Zhang Family... Hehe...
Liu Zhizhong crawled out from under his desk, quickly refreshed himself with a face wash in the rest area to cool down, lit a cigarette, and went to the window to check on the yard below.
He saw Zhang Hongyang enter the yard and stand next to Zhao Han. They didn't exchange many words before Zhao Han took the official car and left.
Zhang Hongyang shook his head and departed in his private car...
In fact, when Zhang Hongyang approached Zhao Han, he stood with a slightly protruding belly, his demeanor cool and proud like a young master, with a teasing smile, he said, "Wife, you're quite ruthless, playing this game with me now? If you have something to say, spit it out."
"Which bitch is carrying your child?" Initially, Zhao Han didn't want to gossip about this; whoever bore his children had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care.
Instead, Zhang Hongyang sneered, "Oh? Jealous? If you're jealous, don't divorce me..."
"Fuck off! I'm definitely going through with this divorce!"
Zhao Han said and got into the car, no longer willing to waste words with him.
Zhang Hongyang shook his head, sneered inwardly, and left.
Soon after, Zhao Han's message reached Liu Zhizhong.
"Dear, that asshole Zhang Hongyang has left, hurry up and get out too. Your strategy really worked wonders, worthy of being my man! But, are you okay? Was that rough on you?"
Liu Zhizhong replied, "Alright, I got it. See you tonight? Should I go to your room, or will you come find me? Hehe..."
"Ah? Tonight? You should come to my room. But... be careful, alright? Don't let my mom see you! Otherwise, it'll be terrible..."
"Understood!"
Liu Zhizhong knew all too well what kind of person his mother-in-law was. He and Zhao Han's affair, of course, couldn't be discovered by her, at least not for now. As for later, that would depend on how things unfold!
Not long after, Liu Zhizhong left Zhao Han's office with a cigarette in his mouth, sensing some strange looks from people on his way as if they knew about his affair with Zhao Han and Zhang Hongyang was clueless.
In governmental institutions, people love gossip, especially about matters between men and women. Of course, those in leadership, regardless of gender, almost always have lovers or mistresses; it's an open secret.
Take male leaders, for example, if you don't have a lover, others will mock you as impotent. Female leaders, if you don't have a lover, people will say you lack connections or charm, hehe...
In the blink of an eye, almost a month passed, and spring was also nearly over. A new situation had arisen in the Yangzhou officialdom.
Working alongside Zhang Yuxing as the City Government Chief Secretary, Liu Zhizhong was indeed busy and tired, yet thriving. With Zhang Yuxing stepping into the Mayor's role, working as if her life depended on it, leaving no space for personal life, Liu Zhizhong could hardly catch a wink of sleep—his romantic activities limited to a few kisses and touches in the office at most.
As Leng Yan put it, everything had to wait until the City Government's work was fully underway. Liu Zhizhong was indeed tired, without even time to think about personal, sexual life.
Zhang Yuxing's former secretary at the Secretary of the Municipal Committee, her young and voluptuous niece Zhang Hong, did not come with her to the City Government but became Lu Yuqing's secretary instead.
Lu Yuqing was officially appointed as Secretary of the Municipal Committee, joining the standing committee of the City Committee, taking over the comprehensive work of the city office from Zhang Yuxing, and holding a position of significant power. Zhang Hong becoming her secretary was also a demand by Zhang Yuxing and Du Yuesheng, a kind of power trade that made perfect sense. Lately, Du Yuesheng has been quite fixated on Lu Yuqing, hehe...
What was not surprising was the case of Zhang Xueyao, Zhang Hongyang's cousin (who was actually his sister). There was an attempt to use her to trap Liu Zhizhong, which of course, wasn't successful. She moved from her position as a town head to the director of the office in the Dongjiang District Committee. After all, she was the biological daughter of Old Secretary Zhang from the City Committee.
What surprised Liu Zhizhong a bit was that Zhang Hongyang, the bastard, seemed to be doing something quite special in Shadong County...
