Watching his confident demeanor, Lu Yuqing truly liked him from the bottom of her heart.

She hadn't interacted much with him in the past. She was usually reserved and cold, so she didn't know Liu Zhizhong's capabilities.

Now, it seemed to her that the secretary Old Ma had chosen was very impressive, both in appearance and ability!

Of course, the thought of sleeping with him in her husband's office made Lu Yuqing's heart flutter.

Women like Lu Yuqing, in their prime and well-maintained, with naturally strong physiques, had rather intense desires in certain aspects.

Think about it, a woman who had been a widow for five years?

Anyway, as she watched Liu Zhizhong's shadow and thought about their affair, Lu Yuqing felt something deep inside becoming moist...

Liu Zhizhong knew his way around well as he headed to Section Two of the secretariat.

In fact, speaking of the layout, the City Committee building was shaped like the Chinese character "中," with a corridor in the middle. This floor, on the sixth level, housed the offices of Ma Xudong, Zhang Xingyue, and Lu Yuqing, as well as Secretariat Section One and Two.

The office of the Mayor, Ma Xudong, was originally at the western end of the office building, occupied by Zhang Hongyang's father.

However, Ma Xudong, after taking his position, had moved it to the eastern end, due to superstitious beliefs.

Now, the western end housed the office of Zhang Xingyue, the Secretary of the Municipal Committee.

The middle position was where Lu Yuqing, the Chief Secretary, was situated.

Of course, both the eastern and western ends, previously or currently occupied by Mayors, had exclusive elevators not accessible to the general public.

Moreover, both the east and west wings of the building had private gardens that were maintained regularly.

Such were the privileges of ruling, enjoyed by those in power.

Liu Zhizhong, having received information from Lu Yuqing in advance, was thoroughly familiar with and deeply envious of such treatment.

This was just at the city level; what would it be like higher up? What kind of treatment would there be?

Of course, as the head of Section Two and the Mayor's personal secretary, he also had his privileges.

His separate office was right outside Ma Xudong's office door.

Usually, when he was present, Ma Xudong was definitely in his office.

Wanting to see Ma Xudong? Heh, without Liu Zhizhong's permission, that was really not possible. Sometimes, even if a member of the City Committee came by, it wouldn't work. Of course, as a secretary balancing relationships, face must be given to a City Committee member, but sometimes it was also necessary to cover for the Mayor, for instance, if the Mayor didn't want to meet a certain committee member, they really couldn't get in.

So, sometimes people often say, the Mayor is the city's top head, and his personal secretary is almost like the second head.

Directly across from Liu Zhizhong's office was his area—Section Two of the secretariat, just about ten meters from his own office.

He had just exited Lu Yuqing's office and needed to pass by Section Two to get there, not even ten meters away.

Lu Yuqing, as the Executive Vice Secretary, managed many of the City Committee's routine tasks and naturally also had several work secretaries, not just one.

Her niece, and also Lu Yumei's niece, Lu Mengting, 28 years old, two months younger than Little Zhizhong.

She was presently one of Lu Yuqing's work secretaries, the only one who worked closely with her, and held a formal rank.

Lu Mengting was quite beautiful, with a melon-seed face, fair and clean skin that was glossy, and short cropped hair that made her look very capable.

She was very slender, even more so than Zhang Xingyue, really thin, to the point of being flat-chested.

Today, she wore a black silk mini skirt; one could only see a couple of protruding points at the heart area.

Liu Zhizhong even thought, ah, that small waist of hers, he could hold it with just two hands.

That tiny, pert rear, even more refined, was perhaps enough to hold with one large slap?

However, her lean classical beauty truly had appeal.

It's not that Liu Zhizhong fancied her or anything, he just found her quite tasteful.

Liu Zhizhong left Lu Yuqing's office, and outside was Lu Mengting's office space.

Lu Mengting, typically, had even fewer interactions with Liu Zhizhong, having dined together just twice with no further interactions.

She had a good impression of Liu Zhizhong, undoubtedly tall and handsome, with a sunny and kind smile. Moreover, her aunt had instructed not to treat Liu Zhizhong the way the Yang Family Members did, noting that he was a young man respected by her uncle.

Lu Mengting, well-versed in officialdom herself, understood this.

Thus, she smiled at Liu Zhizhong and said, "Director Liu, heading to Section Two now? Be careful, there are quite a few thorns there."

"Thanks, cousin, I understand, but it's not a big problem. I'm new to the City Committee, so please take care of me!"

"Oh, don't worry, brother-in-law, you're excellent, you should be looking out for me."

"Hehe, don't be polite, let's make progress together!"

After the pleasantries, Liu Zhizhong arrived at the entrance of Section Two.

Right then, the door was half open, and voices could be heard from inside.

The first thing Liu Zhizhong heard was a man stirring trouble: "Hey, Sister Luo, we've got a newbie in Section Two! Why did Secretary Lu bring him to start his position? Sister Luo, don't be upset, there are still opportunities!"

Only to hear Luo Yanling coldly laugh, "Stop trying to console me. What am I upset about? Whether he's new or old, haha, as the deputy head, there are things you all need to keep an eye on! Whoever dares to kiss up to that Liu Zhizhong, don't blame me for not warning you!"
