Only inside the envelope was a golden foreign bank card and a folded pink letter.

The letter was fragrantly scented, and very pleasing to hold. It was written in Luo Yanling's elegantly pretty handwriting:

"Brother Zhizhong, this is all my wealth, and I changed the PIN to your birthday."

"It totals 2 million US dollars, all transferred from Ma's foreign account to me, that was his price for me to be his woman for life."

"I can marry, but I must be at his call. Brother Zhizhong, perhaps to break away from him forever, it's really hard for me!"

"I give you all my wealth, help me, thoroughly help me; sleep with me, always sleep with me, you are the only man in my life, I only want you!"

"I hope you will think highly of me, this is my most wonderful dream! Thinking about being slept by you, what an honor and pleasure that would be…"

Liu Zhizhong's blood was boiling, and he was constantly shocked.

Damn, this vixen's love letter really got me hooked!

A beauty within easy reach, should I go for it, or should I go for it?

After all, she's willing to give up 2 million US dollars just to sleep with me, sigh...

It's funny when you think about it, Ma gave her the money because he wanted to sleep with her; she gives me the money because she wants to sleep with me.

Of course, he quickly shredded the letter in the shredder, but he did keep the bank card.

Foreign bank card, wow, impressive!

Ma Xudong has money overseas, how he got it, who knows?

But Liu Zhizhong did recall, the trend lately has been like this.

In officialdom, big gifts are no longer made through domestic cash flows or transfers, but through overseas remittances and transfers.

Accounts aren't opened under real names but under aliases, though these aliases have legal identities overseas.

If something goes wrong, it's actually hard to investigate.

Officialdom, sometimes, is all about giving and receiving, without feasts and gifts, how do you build relationships, how do you enter the circles? Just with achievements? Where are so many achievements?

It also relies on relationships, networks!

Sometimes, Liu Zhizhong even feels that not liking to give gifts or deal with money might be his weakness, or should I say, flaw?

But since Ma Xudong gave Luo Yanling so much money and wants to resolve this matter forever, not interacting seems not that difficult?

As for whether Ma Xudong wants some of the money back, I guess he wouldn't. Heh heh...

So, might as well wait and see?

Before leaving work, as the head of Secretary Section Two, Liu Zhizhong still had to go check in the main office area, as a routine matter.

He needed to chat with his colleagues a bit, casually arranging the weekend duty roster and other notices.

After all, the City Committee is of central importance, if any sudden issues arise, Section Two needs to provide various materials. So, someone must be on duty.

Luo Gang had already been transferred successfully as Zhang Hongyang's office assistant director. Secretary Section Two was down one boot-licker, which wasn't a big deal.

Previously, Luo Gang was considered a minor leader here, assisting the deputy head Luo Yanling with some managerial tasks. Now his tasks are managed by Yang Dan.

Yang Dan, a quiet beauty with glasses, was the one who had drafted documents for the demolition and construction site work meeting for Ma Xudong. Liu Zhizhong took her drafts and brought them to life with some inspired touches.

Because of this, Liu Zhizhong appreciated her quite a bit. Casually mentioning her, she immediately filled Luo Gang's position, which seemed only natural.

Yang Dan was also aware of the reasons behind this, was very grateful to Director Liu, and also knew of Director Liu's extraordinary literary gifts; not just anyone in the City Committee could compare, she even privately asked him to be her master, addressing him as "Master"!

Liu Zhizhong chatted with everyone for a while, and once he had finished making arrangements, he went to Luo Yanling's office.

Everyone in Secretary Section Two knew that Luo Yanling was lukewarm toward Liu Zhizhong; work had to be done, but her demeanor toward him was not too pleasant.

That was just the superficial appearance; who knew that a lot had happened?

Who knew that Luo Yanling had fallen madly in love with Liu Zhizhong, to the extent she had once bitten him out of passion, even willing to offer 2 million US dollars for a night with him?

But Liu Zhizhong personally went to Luo Yanling's office, smiling amiably. Everyone felt that the director indeed had the authoritative air and charisma, handsome and stable.

Once he closed the door, Liu Zhizhong found the office to be very quiet; outside sounds were barely audible. The door had been modified, certainly befitting Secretary Ma's lover.

Yet, their secret was well kept, at least no one in Secretary Section Two knew about Luo Yanling and Ma Xudong.

At that moment, Luo Yanling had just finished packing up, and was checking her appearance in the mirror, ready to say she was leaving for the day.

As she turned around and saw Liu Zhizhong entering, her eyes sparkled intensely, filled with charm, she virtually wanted to pounce on him.

Liu Zhizhong, seeing her hungry gaze, was indeed overwhelmed.

This woman, her eyes could talk, they could seduce.

He really wanted to pull her close, strip her down right there, lift her leg, and give her a proper thrashing!

But he restrained himself, walked over to stand by the desk, and pulled out that foreign bank card, placing it in front of Luo Yanling.

Luo Yanling was taken aback, softly and tenderly said, "Brother Zhizhong, what is it, are you rejecting me? Do you really despise me now?"
