Liu Zhizhong returned home to find that Lu Yuqing had already seen Ma Qingqing and went to her mother's house to chat with her older sister and have a few drinks.

Overall, the Ma Qingqing that Lu Yuqing saw this time had grown up a lot, matured a lot.

They went to dinner, and Ma Qingqing insisted on going Dutch, which made Lu Yuqing feel that this girl was starting to get interesting.

She was happily drinking cold beer with her sister, Lu Yumei, in the rooftop bar, under the starry moonlit sky when Liu Zhizhong walked in with a smile.

"Yo~~~ Mom, Aunt, I see you're drinking!"

At that moment, Lu Yuqing felt a thrill inside, like seeing a loved one, but she couldn't show it on her face and just nodded, "Hmm, Zhizhong is back?"

Lu Yumei felt different; she had a lot of opinions about Liu Zhizhong!

She gave Liu Zhizhong a cold glance, turned her head towards the window, and said indifferently, "Some people can still laugh? In a few days, when the position changes, I guess you'll be crying, right?"

Liu Zhizhong still wore a smile, went proactively to the fridge, and took out a few bottles of cold beer to place in front of the sisters.

He sat down, stretched his legs under the table, and placed them on Lu Yuqing's thigh, feeling damn good about it.

Lu Yuqing pretended not to notice, but her heart fluttered secretly with delight.

Of course, Lu Yumei knew nothing about the activities under the table.

As Liu Zhizhong poured himself a drink, he said, "I had dinner tonight at the City Committee Courtyard. Secretary Du organized a meeting to discuss adjustments for all the cadres above the departmental level in the city. It's pretty much all settled now, including job changes for me and Auntie!"

After finishing, he downed a bottle of cold beer, feeling great.

The Lu Family sisters' attention was successfully captured.

Lu Yuqing didn't expect that she'd have a job adjustment too?

Lu Yumei turned her head to scrutinize Liu Zhizhong up and down, frowning, she said, "Huh? From the looks of it, it seems you're not affected by Ma Xudong's bullshit anymore? You really think you can beat me? What kind of meeting and decisions? Tell me."

Liu Zhizhong chuckled and poured another glass before he went on to discuss the job changes.

Instantly, Lu Yuqing became excited, not expecting to be unaffected by the upheaval and directly appointed as Jiangdong District Committee Secretary. Zhao Yan had also returned to be a part of her work team.

What thrilled her even more was Liu Zhizhong's good fortune; he was going to the Provincial Party School for training. That pretty much meant being groomed for greater things after graduation!

Lu Yumei was shocked, for she understood officialdom well. She stared at Liu Zhizhong speechlessly for a long time.

Finally, she managed to say, "You dog, did you really win?"

Liu Zhizhong chuckled, replying, "It appears so! Mom, sorry to disappoint you, eh... Come on, have a drink, cheer up?"

Lu Yumei glared at him fiercely, "I don't feel like drinking with you! Even if you go to the Party School, you're going to have trouble; even if you get promoted later, you'll still fall from grace. Yan'er and your marriage, it has to end!"

"Ah, Mom, this..."

"What about this? I can't be bothered to talk to you! Humph..."

Having said that, she got up to go downstairs but not before saying to Lu Yuqing, "You keep drinking, I've had too much, I want to sleep."

In reality, she hadn't had too much to drink at all; her steps were light and her figure alluring, making Liu Zhizhong feel envious!

Lu Yuqing glanced at her older sister's retreating figure and couldn't help but shoot Liu Zhizhong a coquettish look from under the table.

Liu Zhizhong felt amazing!

After Lu Yumei went downstairs, he spent half an hour drinking with Lu Yuqing, and then the two of them locked the bar door, hugging each other, sharing passionate kisses and caresses, kicking off a lively night.

Anyway, Liu Zhizhong, having been all worked up by Luo Yanling, was glad to cool off with Lu Yuqing! Life was becoming more magical and increasingly unbelievable...

After they were done, Liu Zhizhong still recounted his dealings with Du Yuesheng.

Lu Yuqing was quite astonished, feeling that her man was bold and playing a dangerous game, but it was indeed a brilliant move! To have neutralized the most powerful element of the Yangzhou Zhang Family was impressive!

Lu Yuqing greatly admired Liu Zhizhong's craft in struggle and felt he had a bright future. In such adversity, he had still managed to turn the tables.

However, she also warned Liu Zhizhong to be careful, in case Du Yuesheng sought revenge.

Liu Zhizhong said he wasn't afraid and decided to send her the incriminating material for safekeeping, as she was his most trusted and intimate woman. In the case of any mishap on his part, or if rumors of a downfall began circulating, or the Zhang Family Members made a move, she should immediately post the material online without hesitation.

What could Lu Yuqing say? Her life was tied to Liu Zhizhong's, for better or worse.

Liu Zhizhong also mentioned that, once his training at the Party School was over, he would return as the executive vice district chief of Jiangdong, heh heh, above my wife and just below my dear little Yuqing, heh heh!

Hearing this, Lu Yuqing became even more excited, hugging Liu Zhizhong tightly and kissing him, "You clever thing, you've turned Jiangdong District into our own. You and Yan'er will also have a chance to work together, good for married life!"

"Of course! My goal is to take naps in the Jiangdong District Committee secretary's office and to work overnight shifts with the second vice district chief in my office, heh heh..."

"Ha, look how pleased with yourself you are. Why don't you guys go home and have kids?"

"Heh heh, it's more thrilling in the office..."

"..."
