Chapter 669: Chapter 669
The call connected, and Liu Zhizhong placed the phone on the desk in front of the Mayor's office, embracing Zhang Yuxing and enjoying the moment as he said, "Hello, County Head Zhang!"
On the phone, Zhang Hongyang's voice came through, surprisingly calm.
"Brother Zhizhong, I've just completed the divorce procedures with Zhao Han. How about coming over for lunch together at noon?"
"Oh? Haha... congratulations, ending an old life and starting a new one, right? Where are we having lunch? I'll definitely be there."
"I'm at my sister's place, and everything for the meal is already arranged. I've invited some of the elders from the Zhang Family as witnesses. From the Zhao family, related friends and family will also be there."
"Okay, got it. Shall we leave it at that for now?"
Liu Zhizhong frowned, "Is there anything else?"
"Never mind, we'll talk when we see each other."
After hanging up, Liu Zhizhong still had a smile that wasn't quite a smile, "Heh! Heh! Shui Xing, our big nephew's words have a hidden meaning! But now it seems, after the divorce, he has become a lot more composed, less prideful and irritable."
Zhang Yuxing nodded, "Yeah, maybe! Men might really need to go through a lot of things to gradually grow and mature! It seems like you've won again between you and Hongyang. So, in the future, be careful, avoid conflict if you can, and steer clear of unnecessary interactions, okay?"
"Sure, sure, sure, a woman's words should be heeded. I can't make things difficult for you, can I?"
"Mm, glad you understand the reasons..."
"When have I ever failed to understand? By the way, did he invite you for lunch?"
"Nonsense! Of course, he has to invite me..."
"Then let's go hand in hand..."
By the time Liu Zhizhong left Zhang Yuxing's office and saw Xue Yao again, the timing was just perfect, neither too long nor too short, falling within a reasonable range.
Xue Yao asked with some concern, "Hey, how was it? You didn't face too much criticism, did you?"
Liu Zhizhong smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Secretary Zhang, it wasn't too bad! Mayor Zhang and I had a heart-to-heart talk for a while, a bit long, but it was alright. In terms of work and expertise, Mayor Zhang is a good mayor and a good leader. Working with her, one can learn a lot and it's quite a character-building experience. Men, haha..."
Speaking, Liu Zhizhong's smile carried a deeper meaning as he continued, "Mayor Zhang said to me that I am like a gun, a young gun that needs polishing to shine and be sharp. So, my time with her is like gun polishing, unforgettable and something I am grateful for."
"Sigh... in the end, I am a gun that doesn't match Mayor Zhang. Secretary Zhang, you have to work hard, make progress, keep polishing! A secretary is the leader's pen, so just focus on sharpening your pen, okay?"
"Let's leave the past behind, and chase the future, right?"
Xue Yao nodded, "Plum blossoms thrive in the bitter cold, and swords are honed sharp through grinding. Liu Zhizhong, your gun is bound to make its mark sooner or later. No, in my eyes, you already stand out, and you'll get even stronger. My sister has a cool exterior but a warm heart, she's principled in her work, and following her truly allows one to learn."
"Thanks, Secretary Zhang. Well then, shall we leave it at that? Are you going to Zhang Hongyang's for lunch?" The source of thɪs content is 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Yes! Him... sigh..." Xue Yao also seemed a bit glum, "Getting a divorce and then having a divorce banquet, oh~~~~"
"It's the trend now, pretty normal. The times, they do come with different customs and mindsets that define them. By the way, Secretary Zhang, are you seeing anyone?"
Xue Yao's face collapsed at once," Hey, what are you talking about? Me, seeing someone? I wanted to ask you when you're getting a divorce from Zhao Yan?"
"Um..." Liu Zhizhong was caught off guard and just blurted out, "In two years, I suppose!"
"Alright, I'll wait for you!"
