Lu Yumei's face instantly turned bright red, just short of pinching Zhao Han's arm.

"Oh, you silly girl, what nonsense are you spouting? I'm his mother-in-law! Don't you dare joke around without thinking, even making fun of your mom."

Actually, deep inside, she felt wonderfully delighted and sweet.

Zhao Han said with a cheeky grin, "It's not me talking nonsense, it's the passersby saying so, my dear mom!"

"Passersby are just mischievous, sigh, always gossiping..."

"But, mom, you really are getting younger and prettier, you do suit Zhizhong a bit..."

"You silly girl, you're still talking nonsense, no saying that, no saying, no talking nonsense..."

"Hee hee..."

"..."

The farewell at the airport has some small fun moments, haha...

Well, women, what else is there to talk about when they're together?

Zhao Han playfully teased her mother, just for laughs.

And Lu Yumei, she was happy to let her, because it felt comforting, haha...

Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong departed from the Provincial City airport, headed back to Shanan County.

The journey was a bit long, but the Maybach's auto-driving technology was reliable, making the trip quite comfortable.

By the time he returned to Shanan County, it was almost dusk.

The county town in late autumn, situated in a semi-highland area, with mountains and waters, scattered with red and yellow leaves, looked like a peaceful oil painting, rich with ethnic characteristics.

The clean and tidy county town was refreshing. The sanitation campaign was in action, and Zhang Hongyang was on top of it!

In any case, Zhang Hongyang, as the County Mayor, was truly exhausted like a dog. Sometimes, if not for connections, influence, and political achievements, he really didn't want to do it anymore. At times like these, he would think of how he tormented Liu Zhizhong when he was class monitor at the Party School, haha... Now it's turned around, sigh...

Liu Zhizhong drove along the clean and tidy streets, no longer seeing people urinating or defecating in public or any street brawls. The traffic and security platforms at every corner were all on duty. Many tourists from out of town, carrying bags, wandering around, pointing things out, wore satisfied smiles on their faces.

In this way, Liu Zhizhong immediately felt a sense of achievement within.

This is the new day for Shanan I wanted, how beautiful and harmonious.

Being an official, to reach this level is success.

As the Party secretary, I've achieved this, haha...

The future road is still long; I must continue working hard!

Back at the rented home, just after parking the car, there was Hamuer with a smile on his face, waiting at the door of his small building!

"Secretary, dinner's ready. Come to my house for the meal!"

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Alright, thank you for the trouble, Secretary Ha! You're busy handling numerous tasks every day, and today I come back, you even personally went home to cook!"

"You're welcome, my Secretary. You are the core of the Shanan people and my core too!"

"Haha... Long time no see, has Director Ha's flattery level improved again?"

"Hehe, no no, it's all sincere..."

"..."

Talking about giving and receiving welcomes and compliments, everyone quite likes it.

Even if some people initially don't like hearing these nice words, suspecting ulterior motives, but when people say them often, and you hear them for long enough, you get used to it.

Nice words, who doesn't like hearing them?

Sitting down at Hamuer's place, drinks poured, cigarettes lit, a table of pollution-free dishes just hit the spot!

After three glasses of wine and sampling the flavors of the dishes, Hamuer put on a serious face and said, "Secretary, next, I need to report something not very pleasant to hear." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net
