Chapter 709: Chapter 709

Zhao Yan sneered coldly several times before she said with full sarcasm, "You have the nerve to say you almost forgot you have a wife? Isn't it true that you have already forgotten? If you hadn't forgotten, how could you be such a scumbag, such a mess? Liu Zhizhong, I've seen right through you. Men in officialdom, indeed, not a single one of them is good! Anyone with a bit of an advantage, whether in looks, talent or background, is always scheming to mess around with women! Are women by nature supposed to become men's playthings? You're really disgusting!"

The words she spoke were quite piercing, and even had a bit of feminist aggression.

Fortunately, Liu Zhizhong's mental fortitude was strong enough... uh, or perhaps it was his thick-skinned, well-hardened face that was strong enough?

With a long sigh, Liu Zhizhong said, "Wife, can you not be so biased in your words? We are destined to get divorced, so why bother arguing over these things? Your tolerance and magnanimity are things I'll remember for a lifetime. Everyone is scrambling in officialdom, and some rules can't be changed. Anyone who tries to change the rules will pay a bloody price! That's it then, wife. I'm driving, and this divorce really is unavoidable. How about we make another appointment next time… hello, hello, hello…"

Zhao Yan hung up before he finished speaking; she was so annoyed with this scumbag! Besides, her district was preparing to welcome the Mayor and others for inspection and had to ensure a good reception at noon, sigh… So busy, all form and no substance!

Liu Zhizhong shamelessly continued to feign urgency, calling out several times.

Actually, wasn't Demon Liu excited inside?

This time, he had avoided the divorce!

Well, the art of evasion was still useful, huh!

Driving his car, swift as lightning, he was in high spirits!

But it wasn't long before he began to ponder.

Transportation was indeed under Zhao Yan's management, and she was actually using public power for private purposes, against her own husband.

In Yangzhou, there were two highway exits, one at the East Entrance, which was part of Dongjiang District, Zhao Yan's turf, and the other was the West Exit, located in Qingshun District.

Usually, everyone traveling to the Provincial City or leaving Yangzhou would use the East Entrance, as long as they were not going south. It looked like he would have to avoid the East Entrance in the future! Although it meant detouring over twenty kilometers and wasting some time, there was no other choice! Anyway, he couldn't let Zhao Yan catch him getting off the highway and returning to Yangzhou, hmph...

The battle of divorce between a husband and wife, just like guerrilla warfare, look at the days passing by… Every household has its own difficult scripture to chant, even more so for the families of officials? Ordinary people always think that being an official is endlessly glamorous, but they too have all sorts of troubles. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Everyone is human, all mortals with emotions and desires, who among them has no troubles?

Mindset, oh, it's so important!

Liu Zhizhong arrived at the City Committee Courtyard and evidently, Du Yuesheng was not there; he had gone with his secretary general, Lu Yuqing, and a group of followers to inspect the work in Dongjiang District, hadn't he?

As per protocol, the district was responsible for reception, and a working lunch was also to be had. Speaking of a working lunch, that's what it is, right?

Liu Zhizhong also remembered that Du Yuesheng's daughter, Du Man, served as a deputy district governor in Dongjiang District, ranking below his wife, Zhao Yan. Wasn't it him who had fought for that arrangement? Initially, Du Man was supposed to rank ahead of Zhao Yan.

Thinking of such past events, Liu Zhizhong didn't feel much about it. A husband doing something for his wife, it's only natural!

Inside the City Committee Courtyard, what Liu Zhizhong encountered was Zhang Tianbao, and after a visit to Zhang Tianbao's office, the two brothers chatted leisurely for quite a while, very pleasantly.

Especially when Liu Zhizhong mentioned that on this trip out for rest and recuperation, he had procured another batch of good stuff and introduced it all, Zhang Tianbao was even more excited, and their brotherly atmosphere was better.

Liu Zhizhong left behind the respective shares; of course, there was some for Du Yuesheng and Zhang Tianbao, and it was all sent to the City Committee canteen, to be kept frozen in a special freezer, ready to be taken out and eaten at any time.

The City Committee canteen was there to provide special meals for the standing committee members, all equipped with special freezers, special chefs, and logistics personnel! Ordinary people, once they became officials at the level of the standing committee, well, that's considered a high-ranking official, and the perks are indeed extraordinary. It's normal.

Zhang Tianbao also invited Liu Zhizhong to join him for lunch, and Liu Zhizhong, truly unceremonious, readily agreed.

That noon, it was just Zhang Tianbao, Liu Zhizhong, and the City Committee's full-time deputy secretary and Disciplinary Committee Secretary Wang Yunliang, along with the head of the United Front Work department, the four of them together enjoying the special meal. Because the Minister of Propaganda and others had gone down to the districts and counties with Du Yuesheng.

Wherever the Mayor and the City Mayor went, the Minister of Propaganda and the Executive Deputy Minister had to accompany one of them! Propaganda has always been of utmost importance, those who understand, understand!

Of course, in special cases, such as when the trip involves inspecting and nurturing important candidates for promotion, the City Organization Department head and Executive Deputy Minister also need to accompany.

However, today Du Yuesheng and Zhang Yuxing went to Dongjiang District for one thing—to push forward and implement the project of the sanitation workers' rest station, as well as to cut a ribbon. Therefore, Zhang Tianbao, the head of the City Organization Department, didn't have to go, and it was okay for him to be a bit more leisurely.

Currently, Zhang Tianbao, the head of the City Organization Department, seemed to have gotten his affairs in Yangzhou quite in order. Especially in regards to his relationship with the Mayor and the City Mayor, which was very harmonious, particularly with Du Yuesheng. Maybe this started when Liu Zhizhong arranged a meal for him and Du Yuesheng by the Yangjiang river to enjoy some nourishing delicacies?

After lunch, Liu Zhizhong chatted with a few top leaders for a while, drank some tea, and then hurried nonstop to the Provincial City.

Giving gifts was important!

Avoiding his wife was also very important!
