Official Son-in-Law and the Beautiful Lady Fragrance

Zhang Hongyang had been appointed as the County Mayor of Shadong County, and Minister Zhang Tianbao from the City Organization Department personally accompanied him to announce the appointment, which was within expectations.

At the same time, a vice-minister from the Provincial Organization Department was also present, supposedly on official duty in Yangzhou and took the opportunity to go to Shadong County.

This was extravagantly solemn!

There had never been a precedent in Yangzhou where the appointment of a county mayor could stir a vice-minister of the Provincial Organization Department!

Liu Zhizhong sniffed something unusually afoot and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

During a work break, in the luxurious mayor's office, Liu Zhizhong wrapped his arms around the slender waist of Zhang Yuxing and asked why it was so, wondering if the Zhang Family had any unconventional tactics at play.

Zhang Yuxing did not answer him directly but just coldly told him to mind his own business and focus on what he needed to do.

At work, Zhang Yuxing was like the Master of Extinction, uncompromising. Even if Liu Zhizhong had once indulged her in the supreme pleasures of life, she couldn't be so casual.

Of course, to maintain her authority, and to keep their secret, Zhang Yuxing treated Liu Zhizhong like a slave at work, and Liu Zhizhong said nothing, silently enduring it.

Once, while accompanying Zhang Yuxing to a City Committee standing committee meeting, Liu Zhizhong had the chance to see Minister Zhang Tianbao alone. Liu Zhizhong was there to deliver a material suggestion draft on behalf of Zhang Yuxing.

Liu Zhizhong also made a sideways mention of Zhang Hongyang's matter, noting that the brother-in-law's appointment was conducted with such formality and pomp. However, he didn't understand why Zhang Hongyang was being sent off to Shadong County.

Zhang Tianbao didn't treat Liu Zhizhong as an outsider and spoke candidly, "Xiao Liu, the Zhang person has just arrived in Yangzhou, and there's a lot to balance out, as I've told you before. Thus, to prevent you and Zhang Hong from causing conflicts in the city, separating you was the best way."

Liu Zhizhong was stunned, "Oh... so that was the intention. But... with the Zhang Family's prominence locally, I should be the one banished, why mention Zhang Hongyang?"

Zhang Tianbao smiled meaningfully, "It was his father's initiative, and Old Sir Zhang, his grandfather, felt the same. I just put up a symbolic resistance before agreeing."

Liu Zhizhong expressed his real emotions, "I sweat... All the Zhang offspring are in the urban area, gradually being groomed for better positions, yet only the eldest son is sent down to govern Shadong, which is truly baffling!"

Zhang Tianbao fell silent for a moment before saying, "Perhaps, the Zhang Family Members have their own plans! I can't guess their purpose at the moment, and the Zhang Family isn't talking much about it, so we can only wait and see! However, for me, it's a very good situation. After all, with you two separated and less overlap, there will be fewer conflicts and struggles! Just focus on your respective paths and forge ahead."

Then, less than a month later, as early summer approached, the intentions of the Zhang Family gradually became apparent.

Zhang Hongyang, that son of a bitch, upon taking office in Shadong County, had set off three fires in this remote and impoverished county!

Inside the county government, he vigorously cracked down on corruption, dismissing 3 deputy mayors, 5 directors, and 12 deputy directors, with a total amount of cases reaching 5.6 billion yuan, essentially generating 5.6 billion yuan in revenue for the national treasury.

For a time, the officials of Shadong County felt threatened, silent as cicadas in winter.

For a time, public opinion boiled, with countless praising songs for Zhang Hongyang.

For a time, the public was even more outraged, wondering how such a poor county could have so many vermin? In truth, those in the know understood that corruption is more likely in poorer places.

With the new official's three fires, Zhang Hongyang's first move had earned him prestige, establishing a fresh persona as a prodigal local official who had turned over a new leaf, and then…
