Of course Liu Zhizhong had to remain humble, nodding his head and bowing slightly, saying, "Hello, Mayor Zuo, are you busy?"

Zuo Xintong nodded and casually pointed to the sofa area, "Sit for a bit, I've still got some documents to go through."

After speaking, she lowered her head and continued reading the documents, ignoring Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong felt she was really cold, so he didn't say much. He quickly sat down on the guest sofa, sitting quietly without making a sound.

After a long while, Zuo Xintong finally closed the folder, tossing it to the side of the desk, no longer caring about it.

The folder thudded as it hit, startling Liu Zhizhong who was daydreaming on the other side!

Liu Zhizhong stood up immediately, smiling as he said, "Mayor Zuo, are you done?"

Zuo Xintong nodded slightly, "I'm very busy. Whatever you need, just say it!"

As she spoke, she lifted her fair, captivating wrist, checking her watch, and added, "There's a Party meeting in a bit, so make it quick."

Liu Zhizhong quickly rose to his feet, came forward, and smilingly took out an envelope, placing it on Zuo Xintong's desk.

"Mayor Zuo, this is..."

Bang!

Zuo Xintong slammed her palm on the desk, interrupting Liu Zhizhong, "Mayor Liu, what is the meaning of this? You've made it this far at a young age. Not bad. And now here you are with this trick? Inside this envelope, is it a bank card?"

Inside, Liu Zhizhong felt bitter, "You tricky woman, if I don't play this game, what game can I play with you?"

Almost instinctively, he glanced stealthily at this sexy and fiery female deputy mayor, thinking, "Damn, she is something!"

Whoever from Tiandu sent her here, perhaps no longer interested in dealing with her, parachuted her here to mess with me?

The wicked thought flashed by, but Liu Zhizhong dared not treat this woman like he treated Zhang Yuxing!

He had no choice but to keep smiling and said quietly, "Mayor Zuo, you really guessed it right! Inside, indeed, there are bank cards, the overseas kind, two of them. Prepared especially for you by the developers of our two projects. You can check the amount yourself."

Zuo Xintong clasped her slightly chubby hands under her chin, giving a cold smile, "Is this what you call collusion between officials and business? Is it?"

"No, no, no, not at all. Mayor Zuo came all the way to Huayang, dedicating yourself to revolutionary work..."

Zuo Xintong waved her hand, "Enough with the nonsense. I'm tired of it. To be honest, if two developers can send things to me, they can send them to you too. How much have they given you?"

Facing her judge-like expression, Liu Zhizhong felt a vague sense of humiliation.

However, Liu Zhizhong suppressed his anger and said, "Mayor Zuo, Liu Zhizhong has always disliked asking for things. Indeed, the two developers each offered me 1.5 million US dollars, but I refused, clearly refused."

"Refused?"

Zuo Xintong looked disdainful, waving her hand, "How do I know if your refusal is real or fake? You now brazenly follow me into my office to deliver gifts on their behalf. You've got guts! Are you saying you haven't pocketed a penny and just ran errands for them for nothing? Is there such an official in this world?"

Liu Zhizhong fumed silently, "What a mean person! How have I offended her that she's taunting me like this?"

Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to solemnly say in a low voice, "Mayor Zuo, I really did it for free, all for the economic construction and development of Daxi City."
