"The third meaning, ha ha..." Liu Zhizhong scratched the back of his head, "How about we take a walk on the beach after dinner and talk then? One cannot let down good food and beautiful women, ha ha..."
As he spoke and laughed, Liu Zhizhong picked up his glass of red wine again.
Zhang Yuxing gave him a withering look and reluctantly raised her glass, "You sly thing, now you've started to tease! Fine, I'll see what schemes you're cooking up in a bit."
Thus, the two clinked glasses again, and Liu Zhizhong added, "May my leader be promoted all the way to the top, to grand accomplishments; May my leader forever be youthful and beautiful, eternally young, tender as ever!"
"You damn slick talker..."
Zhang Yuxing outwardly scolded him coquettishly, but inwardly she was quite pleased.
That damn guy really has such a nice way of speaking, really magnetic, and even better looking when he smiles, sigh...
After drinking, Zhang Yuxing strangely blamed herself, why was her opinion of this guy getting higher and higher, and why was she becoming less and less annoyed by him?
When they were almost done eating, Liu Zhizhong finally took out a card and presented it with both hands in front of Zhang Yuxing.
"Leader, please, you must accept this."
"Oh? What's this..." Zhang Yuxing was stunned for a moment, looked at the bank card, then suddenly slammed it down on the table, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that your third meaning couldn't be held back?"
"No, ha ha... Leader, there's 500,000 US dollars in here, just a small token of my appreciation!"
"That's not a small sum at all! Where did you get so much money?"
Zhang Yuxing pointed at the bank card and said, "Stop being slick and making jokes, that money is definitely not yours. The card has a perfume scent to it, probably given to you by some woman from the Zhao family, right? Let me think... let me think..."
Liu Zhizhong could only remain silent, smiling as he looked at his leader, everything depended on the leader's stance, giving the leader a chance to perform.
Soon, Zhang Yuxing said, "It must be because they heard about your promotion, in order to secure your future, Vice Secretary-General Lu Yuqing financed you, right?" Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Ah? Why would you say that?"
"Lu Yuqing has been good to you, and she is sensible about the bigger picture. Your last promotion to Secretary of the City Committee was also thanks to her. It's not her this time, is it?"
Liu Zhizhong could only spread his hands, "Sorry, it really isn't her."
"Then..." Zhang Yuxing was momentarily stunned, then her eyes lit up, "Oh, it must be Lu Yumei! You're now the spokesperson for the Zhao family, it must be her doing. There must be something she wants in return, right? It's not just about your career anymore, is it?"
Zhang Yuxing was indeed as clever as they come, guessing quite a lot in an instant.
Liu Zhizhong shook his head with a sigh, "To be honest, it still has to be said that my leader is brilliantly clever indeed, you've guessed it! Indeed, the money was taken out by my mother-in-law, ha ha..."
Zhang Yuxing was quite flattered by the praise and chuckled coldly, "Just as I thought! Any requests, just lay them out and let's see."
Liu Zhizhong wiped his mouth and said, "Inside this, there are also three meanings."
"How amusing, it's been all about three meanings with you tonight. Go ahead, what are the three meanings?"
"First, my mother-in-law, she still cares for me, feels that my career hasn't been easy and should be cherished. She hopes I can continue to receive Mayor Zhang's care and mentoring, to support me; second, she also wishes that Uncle Zhang would stop pestering her so she can live peacefully, she never planned to be your sister-in-law, so please understand her situation and make a just decision; third, well, regarding Zhao Han and Brother Hongyang, Mayor Zhang, you know their situation... Brother Hongyang has been out of line, Zhao Han can't and doesn't want to go back, so we need you to say something about it, right?"
Zhang Yuxing couldn't help but let out a series of cold chuckles, which made Liu Zhizhong almost lose heart.
With a serious face, Liu Zhizhong straightened up and said earnestly, "Leader, the meaning is clear now, could you please grant me special kindness?"
