Arrogant Zhang Hongyang, acting as if everyone was afraid of him.
But in the Cultural and Tourism Bureau, there were indeed people who were not intimidated by him. After all, everyone knew that Young Master Zhang had been sent to Shadong County, and what could he do about it?
Historically, Shadong County had always been a political graveyard. Those who were sent there never climbed back up.
You, who are about to be exiled, are acting arrogant here?
Clearly, there were also suspicions that Liu Zhizhong and his wife Zhao Han were having an affair.
But how impressive was Liu Zhizhong? Former secretary to the Mayor, a man of talent and extraordinary abilities. Ma Xudong had been imprisoned, and not only was Liu unaffected, but he also went to the Provincial Party School for half a year of training. Now, upon returning, he had become the City Government Chief Secretary.
In light of this, someone intentionally informed Zhao Han that Zhang Hongyang had barged in and was heading to her office to surprise her.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Han immediately became nervous and suggested that Liu Zhizhong should hide somewhere.
Liu Zhizhong originally wanted to confront the situation head-on but, after careful consideration, decided it was better to hide from this soon-to-be exiled "young master" for now.
Of course, he couldn't hide in the lounge; that could lead to even more suspicion from Zhang Hongyang. It was indeed not the right time for Zhang to find out about him and Zhao Han. If that shameless man spilled the beans to Zhang Yuxing, it could turn really ugly.
Thus, Liu Zhizhong hid under Zhao Han's desk. Although it was spacious enough, it still felt somewhat stifling and humiliating, but he endured.
Soon, Zhang Hongyang indeed knocked on the door.
By then, Zhao Han, without a hint of nervousness, had already tidied away the teaware on her desk. Orıginal content can be found at 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
She went to open the door, presented a cold face, and blocked Zhang Hongyang at the door, "What are you here for?"
As she spoke, she frowned, "You reek of alcohol, how much did you drink this afternoon?"
Zhang Hongyang gave a cold smile, "Wife, are you concerned about me, or do you just not want to see me anymore?"
"Just get to the point. I was actually about to leave for a cultural and tourism field meeting."
Zhao Han had a well-prepared excuse.
In fact, just now, she had sent a message about inspecting the progress of a new red tourism project in a rural area of the Southern District around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Hongyang snickered, wedging his hand on the door and squeezing in, "Even if you have an important meeting, you'll have to listen to me first, then go!"
As he finished speaking, his large and stout body had already squeezed through the door, and he promptly shut it behind him.
Zhao Han retreated a few steps alertly, picked up the briefcase from her desk, and coldly said, "Just talk, once I listen, I'll leave."
Zhang Hongyang scrutinized his wife up and down, his eyes full of desire but his reaction subdued, feeling distraught yet feigning strength, "Since when has Director Zhao put work ahead of everything? If you prioritized your husband over your work, we might even have had children by now."
"What exactly do you want to say? I don't want to hear you rambling! There is no possibility between us anymore! It's fortunate that we don't have children. Otherwise, having you as a father would be unfair to the child!"
"What?" Zhang Hongyang, looking shocked, pointed to his nose, "So me being a dad is a disgrace to the child now? Hahaha... Wife, Lady Zhao, my Director Zhao, what I came here to tell you is that you better give up on the idea of divorcing me, it won't do the Zhao family any good. Moreover, there's already a woman outside who's pregnant with my child. I just got the news at noon. You might want to step up your game! Hmph..."
Zhao Han, her face flushed with anger, scolded, "Zhang Hongyang, you bastard, truly despicable! Flaunting your mistress's pregnancy in front of me? Do you have no shame? That's truly disgusting!"
