Of course, Zhang Hongyang understood that.
Back when that dead Liu Zhizhong wasn't a big deal.
Now, heh... seeing how well that grandson was doing, if he died, that would be a big problem.
This matter must be approached with extreme caution, considered from all angles, with no room for error, and must not involve me!
Take it slow, perhaps?
Hmm, play it safe for now?
Having set his goal, Zhang Hongyang felt as if his whole perspective had broadened, befitting of County Head Zhang!
He seemed to see things more clearly and took another step forward on the path of personal evolution.
By the time he left home to go out for dinner, ah, his face was all smiles, completely at ease.
Divorce, so what? I'm Zhang Hongyang, are women something I could be short of?
That very night, he went directly to the home of Shadong County's County Party Secretary for dinner.
This County Party Secretary nearly fell into the Zhang Family's clutches; had he not knelt before Zhang Zhengchang and Zhang Hongyang, they would've never let him go.
That evening, the County Party Secretary and his wife personally hosted Zhang Hongyang at their city home, serving him meticulously.
The County Party Secretary's wife was only 39, still charming and ripe with maturity, something that made Zhang Hongyang itch with desire.
During the forty-nine days of mourning, Zhang Hongyang had been quite disciplined, obedient, not touching a single woman.
Of course, he was bursting at the seams. Sometimes, just seeing Zhao Han move in front of him made him itch unbearably, barely able to control himself!
Lately, Zhang Hongyang's health had also improved considerably.
Though he went for another check-up at the hospital and even to the best private Yalan Hospital in the Provincial City, his fertility was gone, but that other ability was coming back.
After all, he was still young, and the medicine worked well. Now, Zhang Hongyang thought that as long as he took some medicine, he could still last for twenty or thirty minutes, right?
As drinks were exchanged, Zhang Hongyang, slightly drunk, found himself very drawn to the County Party Secretary's wife.
Riding on the buzz of alcohol, he showered her with compliments and then boldly said, "Ah, if I could enjoy one night of pleasure with the madam, I could die satisfied. At the same time, it would further ensure the secretary's political status and future in Yangzhou!"
His expression remained calm, and he spoke slowly, but his shamelessness was beyond words, simply despicable!
The County Party Secretary's wife, a school principal in Shadong County Town, how could she not understand?
How could the secretary not understand either?
In the end, the secretary personally picked up his glass, indicating he had some errands to run and couldn't stay, so he raised a toast first, wishing County Mayor Zhang a pleasant meal.
Before leaving, the secretary even asked his wife to prepare two additional dishes for County Mayor Zhang, ha ha...
Once the secretary left, Zhang Hongyang was no longer in the mood for food or drink; he grabbed the secretary's wife and headed straight for the bedroom.
The secretary's wife was a sensible person, utterly pleasing him and employing all the skills of a mature woman to make Zhang Hongyang comfortable.
That night, the County Party Secretary did not return home. Was he ashamed in his heart? Impossible!
What could he do? He had no choice but to offer his wife to secure his political career. In these days, it's great to be an official and live it up! Having become the County Party Secretary and aligned with the Zhang Family, he reaped many benefits!
Didn't Zhang Hongyang's modern agriculture project allocate a part of the work to the secretary's brother-in-law?
Of course, County Party Secretary Cao Jin wasn't without a lover; he could just spend the night at his lover's place. Amidst their joyous lovemaking, he had completely forgotten about his wife and Zhang Hongyang.
As for Zhang Hongyang, after embracing the principal's wife and their passionate encounter, they took a bath together and then went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Hongyang woke up, discreetly took some medicine, and went at it again! This time even wilder, giving the near-forty-year-old Cao Jin a run for his money in satisfying the wife...
Ah, such is life in officialdom, pretty commonplace really. And some lives are more exciting than fiction...
Elsewhere, Liu Zhizhong, like a drought-stricken land met with sweet rain, was thoroughly enjoying himself with Zhao Han in the study.
After they finished, Zhao Han went back to reading her documents as if nothing had happened, just waiting for tomorrow to divorce Zhang Hongyang.
Liu Zhizhong went into the kitchen, intent on preparing a good meal and taking care of Zhao Han and Lu Yumei.
Of course, he decided that tomorrow he must visit Lin Juan's home, to properly hear the story about his foster father's family. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
