Chapter 583: Chapter 583

The call ended, and Liu Zhizhong felt he had a plan.

Every aspect he had pondered was being implemented step by step.

He arrived at the riverbank, making videos while he killed both the catfish and the old turtle, even preserving its blood for a special dish.

After everything was settled, he sent the video and his location to Zhang Tianbao. Moreover, he also recorded a video of the fish nest, which was bustling with fish, enough to excite any angler.

When Zhang Tianbao checked the location, he was surprised to find it was near Waterfront Park in Dongjiang District, not far from his office at the City Committee!

First, Zhang Tianbao directly rushed to Secretary Du Yuesheng's office to invite him. Since coming to Yangzhou, Du Yuesheng had invited Zhang Tianbao to fish in his ponds twice, which felt average and not too stressful.

This donkey, Du Yuesheng, was taking his lunch break and was thrillingly occupied with a female secretary in his office.

Zhang Tianbao rang the doorbell but got no response; after calling him, Du Yuesheng finally got up, asking the female secretary to wait for him undressed in the luxurious rest room while he dealt with Zhang Tianbao.

When Du Yuesheng came out, he was polite to Zhang Tianbao. After all, this was Minister Luo Tianlin's major secretary sent here, and Du Yuesheng understood that.

Zhang Tianbao showed him the video from Liu Zhizhong, and even Du Yuesheng's usually stoic face lit up with excitement.

"Hey! Minister Zhang, let's go, let's set off now! Wait, I need to go home first to grab my gear!"

Du Yuesheng too was a true fishing enthusiast, momentarily forgetting the hefty white fish lying on the bed in the lounge.

Zhang Tianbao chuckled, "Old Du, no rush, Comrade Liu Zhizhong also invited your brother-in-law. I haven't had the chance to notify him yet."

Upon hearing this, Du Yuesheng frowned slightly, feigning a smile as he said, "Tell me, Minister Zhang, Liu Zhizhong coming to you, does he have some plans? With the big catfish and old turtle, haha..."

Zhang Tianbao shrugged, "Probably? After all, he was once a rising star in Yangzhou officialdom, and since he's nearly recovered from his illness, he probably wants to join the revolutionary work again! As the head of the organization department, it's hard for me to turn away comrades when they have organizational requests!"

Du Yuesheng was utterly displeased with Liu Zhizhong. The root cause was Liu Zhizhong ruining his chances with Luo Yanling.

However, since Liu Zhizhong had this idea of hosting, why shouldn't he take advantage of him this time? The bastard, acting like a Mr. L, he's really hot stuff, making quite a lot of money! Besides, Du Yuesheng was also aware of Liu Zhizhong's donations to the city's sanitation projects.

Thereupon, Du Yuesheng grinned, "Alright, Minister Zhang, it's reasonable for you to take this task, well within your official duties! The organization department is like a cadre's parent's home, and it's only proper for a cadre to turn to their own mother when in need, haha... And go ahead and inform Old Secretary Zhang; I have some documents to deal with in my office. Once done, I'll grab my gear from home and meet up with you. With this damn fiery weather, we'll probably only be able to fish at night!"

"Exactly, it's too hot during the day. That kind of fish nest attracts many fish, but hooking a big one during the day would definitely scare the others. It has to be at night! Secretary Du truly understands!"

"Haha, I learn from you! So tonight, we'll enjoy the fish, the turtle, and that special turtle blood dish Liu Zhizhong mentioned, hehe... That stuff is really nourishing, Minister Zhang, haha..."

Speaking thus, Du Yuesheng was slightly scheming, both men bursting into knowing laughter. Updates are released by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

Zhang Tianbao happily returned to his office, while Du Yuesheng re-entered the lounge, unable to resist the sight of his secretary lying on the bed, her legs spread and draped with a blanket at her waist, half-exposed.

Du Yuesheng quickly climbed onto the bed and soon got down to business. Within less than five minutes, he was done.

After a bout of convulsions, he was sweating profusely, utterly satisfied, and mentioned that she should work overtime tonight and stay in his room, approximating his return around eleven or twelve to continue.

The female secretary, pitying him, said, "Secretary Du, you should really take care of your health. You've already done this in the afternoon, maybe skip tonight?"

Du Yuesheng replied, "You don't understand, I still need it tonight!"

The female secretary had no choice but to agree. After all, his stamina wasn't great, so she would cooperate! Satisfying the City Committee Secretary could brighten her future prospects—and her husband's!

Afterward, Du Yuesheng showered before heading out and instructing his driver to take him home to pick up his fishing gear.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tianbao called Zhang Zhengchang, and after a brief and warm greeting, the two affirmed their close relationship. Luo Tianlin's influence in Yangzhou was significant. His secretary's being sent here meant having to show some respect in various aspects.

Following that, Zhang Tianbao mentioned that Liu Zhizhong planned to invite Old Secretary Zhang for a small gathering that evening.

The conversation had barely started when Zhang Zhengchang coldly said, "That bastard wants to invite me for a meal? No way! I'm observing mourning and don't have time! Hanging up now, going to offer incense to the ancestral tablet."

Then, he actually hung up.

It wasn't a matter of not respecting Zhang Tianbao, it was a genuine refusal of Liu Zhizhong's invitation.
