Zhang Yuxing's temper was indeed abrupt, and when she came, she was somewhat displeased on the spot.
But Liu Zhizhong wasn't intimidated by her at all. She was his woman, and she was very competent in singing and playing music in front of him, so how angry could she really get?
At worst, just disciplining her on the spot would make her obedient again.
Liu Zhizhong smiled gently, slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, and said indifferently, "I appreciate that my woman could go to County Head Zhang to get half of the money back for me. It's your thoughtfulness, your love…"
"Don't talk about these irrelevant things, I don't want to hear it! What makes me uncomfortable is that you're getting a bit arrogant and acting up in front of me now!"
"Can you let me finish? Once I'm done, you can punish me however you want. I would kneel down, lick whatever." Googlᴇ search 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥
Zhang Yuxing's face flushed, "Aren't you ashamed! When have you ever licked me? Hmph!"
Liu Zhizhong laughed, obviously, it was only her who did the licking!
"This money, I need it but it requires an anonymous account. It would trouble County Head Zhang to arrange that as well."
"Hmph! Dead dog, still after money? This part, he won't have an issue, leave it to me."
"More? Don't push your luck!" Zhang Yuxing flared up again.
Liu Zhizhong remained as calm as an old dog, not flustered at all, "Then this amount should be substantial. I want to take it all out, and on every main road in the three districts under city jurisdiction, set up a resting station for sanitation workers with a decent cement shed that can protect them from wind and rain, where they could feel the breeze from a fan when it's hot, and have heating during the winter. For their breaks, they can have free boiled water and make tea or something."
Zhang Yuxing was stunned, a gleam of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She stared at her man, the City Government Secretary, truly feeling his distinctly different aura.
His character was profoundly inspiring.
"Why do you want to do this?"
Liu Zhizhong smiled bitterly, shaking his head, "No real reason, I guess? Going out early and returning late every day, I always see the sanitation workers on the streets. They start even earlier and return even later. Many are in their fifties or even over sixty. Why? For a living! For what they call a sense of happiness! Perhaps, being able to do something for them lets me drive on the streets with a bit more peace of mind. Maybe…"
Zhang Yuxing quickly interjected, "Maybe, I should turn it into a city project! Half the funds can come from your charity, and the other half from public finance! Let's settle on that. Draft a proposal, and we'll discuss it at the City Government work meeting next Monday."
Liu Zhizhong's eyes brightened, "The discussion is merely a formality, it's still my Shui Xing who has the final say, right? So shall we name it the City Sanitation Rest Station? Is that settled?"
"Yes, that's settled!"
"However, County Head Zhang is now the popular County Head, the author County Head, and the practical County Head. He himself isn't short on money, so why not…"
Liu Zhizhong said, his eyes gleaming excitingly.
Zhang Yuxing was slightly taken aback and then seemingly got the hint, "You crafty devil, even for this you won't forget to drag Hongyang into this, huh? Are you suggesting that he should spit out all his royalties, film and television rights fees to fund this sanitation station?"
"Hehe, my woman truly understands me! I believe, my grandnephew would certainly agree. Why not give him a call and see?"
Zhang Yuxing gave Liu Zhizhong a glare, her expression full of allure as if to say you really are a crafty one!
She actually picked up the speaker phone from the desk and dialed Zhang Hongyang right in front of him.
Liu Zhizhong, loving this kind of scene, hurried over before Zhang Hongyang could answer, suddenly scooping up Zhang Yuxing.
In his strong embrace, Zhang Yuxing felt light as a feather, almost as if she was flying in her startled cry. Then Liu Zhizhong sat down in the mayor's chair, with Zhang Yuxing landing in his arms, warm and comfortable as jade.
This feeling was truly freaking awesome…
