"Who knew Lu Yuqing was so steady," he said with a somewhat plaintive tone, "Forget it, Old Ma, don't come over. I want to be alone for the night. It's also too late for you; go home and rest early. What if Qingqing wakes up in the morning and doesn't see you again? She'll start making a fuss."

"Oh..." Ma Xudong paused for a moment, then forced a bitter smile, "Alright then, Yuqing, sorry to have made you feel aggrieved; I'll make it up to you."

"What's this about making it up? It's fine..."

"Okay, you go to bed early then. From the tone of your voice, it seems like you're about to fall asleep?"

"Mhm, that's right..."

"Well then! You head back to the city tomorrow. I'll stay in the Provincial City for a couple of days, spend some time with Qingqing, and let's all go back to my parents' place over the weekend; we can have a meal together."

"That works."

"Oh, by the way..." recalling something, Ma Xudong continued, "When you get back, arrange for Zhizhong to do a few theoretical articles on governance for me; I want them within a week. I plan to submit them to that prestigious 'Realm of Thought' column in the provincial newspaper. If they get selected, it'll be really helpful for my career advancement. The kid Zhizhong is not bad at all, with a solid foundation in writing and quite innovative ideas, very refreshing. Choosing him as my secretary was definitely the right decision; he's such a relief."

Lu Yuqing listened and couldn't help feeling excited. Subconsciously, she sank down, rewarding Liu Zhizhong deeply.

At that moment, Liu Zhizhong's mood was incredibly pleasant.

Damn sweet!

His boss was praising and appreciating him on the phone, and there he was, enjoying himself under the boss's wife! Damn, being a secretary is totally worth it.

Right then, Lu Yuqing chuckled and said, "Mhm, I'll tell Zhizhong. The kid is really capable. If it weren't for him being suppressed by brother-in-law Zhang Hongyang all these years, he would have made it big by now."

"Ha ha, the Zhang Family, after all, is the number one family in Yangzhou, with deep historical roots. Sometimes, even I can't help but cater to them while I'm in Yangzhou. So, I want to come up with something impressive as soon as possible to get noticed by those above. It goes perfectly with the saying 'three years for a small leap and five years for a big one.' I've been in Yangzhou for three years already; it's time for a move."

"Mhm, good. It might be good to leave Yangzhou too! Where are you planning to go?"

"Wherever I go, I'll have to take you with me. And while we're at it, let's bring Zhizhong too; the kid is reliable!"

After the call, Lu Yuqing tossed her phone on the bed and once again went wild in bed with Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong had a bit of a scare but still had to praise how quickly he got fired up again, creating wave after wave of joy. He really needed to thank the Mayor's wife...

Meanwhile, Ma Xudong at home was also busy.

He had soothed his daughter, and she had gone to bed.

He had intended to take some medication and spend the night in a hotel with Lu Yuqing.

But Lu Yuqing's state made him feel that she wasn't in high spirits. Well, that's normal for a woman.

So, Ma Xudong took the medication and made his way into his maid's room.

He had two maids in his house, a pair of sisters, the elder one 34 and the younger one 32, both quite good-looking with mature, full figures.

Moreover, these sisters had been conquered by Ma Xudong back when he was mayor in another city, where they were school teachers.

After he had taken them, he brought them directly home to work as maids. Money was obviously not an issue; they were well provided for. The main thing was, when Ma Xudong returned home, he could enjoy both sisters at once. Why not be happy?

That night, Ma Xudong was quite excited, having a great time with the two maids.

After all, with his daughter now calm and if Liu Zhizhong could deliver a good draft to boost his career, his prospects were looking good.

However, Ma Xudong was also feeling some urgency; his wife's elder sister, Lu Yumei, was also a delicate widow! There wasn't much time left in Yangzhou. How could he conquer her?

If he did, wouldn't having both sisters serve him be like living a fairy-tale life?

Yes, that's how a man in officialdom thinks; some have rich imaginations and lead quite vibrant lives...

After an eventful time, Liu Zhizhong and Lu Yuqing fell asleep deeply in love, taking a bath together, heading to bed together.

The next morning at six sharp, both of them were spirited and drove their respective cars back to Yangzhou. They even agreed to work overtime in the evening and find some time for intimacy in Ma Xudong's Mayor's office rest area, fulfilling her promise, which excited Liu Zhizhong to no end.

Sure enough, the journey went smoothly, and they both arrived at the City Committee Courtyard in time for work.

In the office, Liu Zhizhong had just arranged his work and immediately started brainstorming to prepare ideological articles for Ma Xudong.

He was deep in typing when Luo Yanling knocked and entered.

Her low V-neck purple mini dress showcased her appealing form and her face radiated tenderness, leaving Liu Zhizhong dumbfounded.

Luo Yanling merely placed a few documents in front of Liu Zhizhong, but couldn't resist leaning on him and kissing him ferociously.

This was too much for Liu Zhizhong; he stood up and responded to her ardently.

Yet unexpectedly, that vixen Luo Yanling suddenly knelt down, unzipped his trousers, and pulled out his fervent member.

Liu Zhizhong looked down and sternly said, "Little Sister Luo, have you lost your mind? This is my office..."

But before he could finish, Luo Yanling took hold of him and took him into her mouth.

"Damn..." Liu Zhizhong was stunned and over the moon.

But just then, someone knocked on the door outside. Not waiting for Liu Zhizhong's response, they pushed the door open and came in...
