When it was time to clock out, Liu Zhizhong still had his secretary stay a bit longer for overtime because there was a lot of material to be compiled and summarized.
There sure has been a lot of thematic ideological study materials demanded from above these days!
Although everyone knows studying this stuff is pretty much useless, this type of formalism is very necessary.
In the Party and government system, every department and group needs to compile everything, like study photos, summaries, notes, etc., all gathered together, ready for inspections at any time.
For the City Committee, with its many internal organizations, there's just too much to summarize.
A first Secretary like Zhang Yuxing, who doesn't manage things, has nothing to fear from the Zhang Family Members.
Even if Ma Xudong gets in trouble, it certainly won't affect Zhang Yuxing.
As for Lu Yuqing, the executive deputy secretary, she really is in charge of things and has been focusing on just that lately.
As her capable and clean subordinate, Liu Zhizhong also had to stand firm and take care of these façades.
Tonight, the second division of the City Committee's secretariat gathered in the cafeteria for a special meal and didn't clock out until 11 pm.
Liu Zhizhong told everyone he had to keep working overtime with Secretary Lu and let the comrades go home and rest. He still commanded the respect of the second division, who felt this Secretary of the Municipal Committee really could endure hardship, alas!
In the end, once everyone had left, Liu Zhizhong and Lu Yuqing headed to Ma Xudong's office bedroom.
The two of them showered together, dried off, and started getting it on right there in the bathroom.
Regardless, joy was still needed!
From the bathroom to the sofa, then to the bed.
They even went at it on the Mayor's chair.
After waves of pleasure and excitement, they felt immensely comfortable.
But after cleaning up a bit and calming down, they wrapped themselves in each other's arms, naked and still tender and intimate.
However, when Liu Zhizhong stated the facts, he completely shocked Lu Yuqing.
Lu Yuqing felt her heart pounding wildly, yet she remained silent.
It was Liu Zhizhong who broke the silence, "This matter doesn't really involve you. Because of your marriage, it won't be affected, but divorce is very possible. Your promotion, too, is to be expected. Even the Zhang Family's standing committee members agreed and reported it to the province, who approved it."
"Going forward, you'll be at this deputy department level until you retire, which shouldn't be a problem. Your marriage to Secretary Ma was short. Even if he screws up, they'll only dig into his past, which won't involve you."
"As for me, I might not have much of a bright future either, but as long as I can keep safe, I shouldn't have big problems. Zhang Yuxing has already spoken up for me; now, I can only rely on my talent and hard work to keep safe, hehe..."
Hearing this, Lu Yuqing held him tighter, her voice filled with sympathy, "Zhizhong, you really haven't had it easy! I used to think I could help you stand up with your own efforts, and you would have a smooth path ahead. But who could have known..."
"That something could happen. Who could have anticipated? It must be our fate, right? You're right; I should be able to land safely. I never got involved in Ma Xudong's wrongdoing, didn't know about it, and he never let me get involved."
"It's just that, suddenly, I feel worried about what would happen to Ma Qingqing if he were to be imprisoned. That girl, all alone in the Provincial City, lost her mother early on, and now might lose her father..."
Hearing this, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but stroke her smooth back and empathize, "Yeah, it's true Ma Qingqing has not had an easy life. We really should consider her future. You're a good person with a clear conscience, and I need to learn from you. But when the time comes, how will we comfort Ma Qingqing, or deal with her life, studies, and future work?"
Lu Yuqing thought for a moment and said, "I should still go back to the Provincial City tomorrow to visit this unfortunate child, that's my responsibility as a stepmother. I trust you to handle all the work here. Likely we'll need to cooperate with the investigation when the time comes; we'll just tell the truth and not resist the organization."
"Mm, I understand. Let's sleep; it's getting late. We'll get up at six tomorrow morning to go mountain climbing!"
"Do we really have to go tomorrow?"
"Yes, let's go, damn it, because life is full of frustrations, and we must take care of our health! No matter what happens, Big Baby Liu still has to look after you for life!"
"Hehe, you really are an optimist..."
Lu Yuqing couldn't resist wrapping her arms around his neck, admiring and kissing him repeatedly... Follow current novels on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
The next morning at six, the two of them really got out of bed.
Dressed in top brand hiking shoes and sportswear that Lu Yuqing had bought for him, Liu Zhizhong still looked tall and majestic with an extraordinary demeanor.
Having a drink of salt water, they both drove out of the City Committee compound and headed straight for the foot of West Mountain to meet up with Lu Yumei.
By the time they arrived, Lu Yumei was already there.
Of course, Lu Yumei had no suspicions about her sister and Liu Zhizhong. He had said that due to formalism, he would work late and just stay in his office.
The three met in the parking lot just as a faint glow appeared on the horizon; the world was quiet and peaceful, a truly enjoyable scene.
There were also quite a few elderly people already starting to climb the mountain, impressively early; seniors really do sleep less.
Liu Zhizhong, looking at the sisters in their snug sportswear, really felt fucking great! They were beautiful, with bodies that had their own distinct appeal, well-kept and appearing young, like a pair of sisters in their mid-twenties. Especially Lu Yumei, with her sexy allure, delicate skin, and lovely appearance, she was a touch more appealing than Lu Yuqing, really stirring emotions within!
From a male perspective, he truly felt like, once on the mountain, finding a secluded spot in the woods to have a good time with both of them!
However, at this time and setting, he could only fantasize; actions were not feasible.
This morning, Zhang Zhenglong was supposed to coincidentally show up too, damn it…
