Du Yuesheng always held a grudge against Zhang Yuxing.
That slap from Old Sir Zhang almost cost him his position, and Du Yuesheng rembered it for a lifeti.
Democratic life etings were held nearly every month, but Zhang Yuxing had never offered any opinions to him.
Actually, at such etings, she seldom offered her opinions, and others seldom gave theirs to her—out of fear!
Zhang Yuxing was the darling of Old Sir Zhang, known for her terrible temper.
And in Lu Yuqing's heart, there was also a touch of excitent, though she maintained a poised and solemn appearance, secretly rejoicing and looking forward to what would happen.
The others at the venue were also privately surprised. They all knew that Zhang Yuxing didn't speak much at these etings. Now, as she seed ready to speak, was it inevitably targeting Secretary Du, and even with harsh words?
Hence, the eting room beca extrely quiet, with nearly everyone's eyes on Zhang Yuxing.
With her special status and her uniquely gorgeous looks and figure, it was hard not to make her the focus of attention.
Du Yuesheng even managed a smile and said, "Mayor Du, do you... have sothing to say?"
He had to admit, his heart sank speaking those words, and he was treading carefully.
Du Yuesheng was on one side of the long table, and she was on the opposite side, which was proper. The heads of both the Yangzhou Municipal Committee and the City Governnt, being of equal bureau-level rank, should sit like this.
Zhang Yuxing didn't even look at Du Yuesheng but simply adjusted the curved microphone in front of her to better align with her mouth.
Every move of Mayor Zhang had her style.
At this mont, she looked only thirty years old and seed to have more of a mayoral presence than even Du Yuesheng.
This impression delighted Liu Zhizhong.
All the n present, who would dare to think about her? And who wasn't afraid of her?
Sorry, only Liu Zhizhong himself was already intimate with her.
Even the head of the City Organization Departnt, Zhang Tianbao, was secretly surprised—Wow, the Zhang family's girl, not to ntion her unique beauty, has such a firm temperant, it seems like Du Yuesheng might be in trouble?
Trouble for Du Yuesheng was sothing Zhang Tianbao was happy to see.
As the big secretary for the provincial Minister Luo Tianlin, who had been assigned to Yangzhou for training, Zhang Tianbao was actually quite frustrated.
It was mainly because of the overwhelming influence of the Zhang family, especially since Du Yuesheng now represented the main force of the Zhang family, always ddling in personnel arrangents and acting as if he had the final say. To Zhang Tianbao, who was responsible for evaluating officials and recomnding them, it was like he was nothing but a puppet. Who could stand that?
So, the officialdom was indeed the human scene; dignity must be maintained wherever there are people, and a slight inattention could offend soone and incur resentnt!
Sotis Zhang Tianbao thought, if he ever got a hold of so scandal about Du Yuesheng, he would surely make him less arrogant!
By then, Zhang Yuxing had adjusted the microphone and, with an icy gaze, looked coldly at Du Yuesheng across from her. In a crisp, cold, and authoritative voice, she said, "Does Secretary Du really want people who dare to speak, can speak, and speak the truth?"
Du Yuesheng, confronted by her gaze, felt sowhat unsettled but still forced himself to reply, "In the democratic life eting, we should speak our minds without reservation, right?"
In his heart, however, he was starting to shiver. This woman, whom he had once failed to conquer and still desired, held a deep shadow over him.
Zhang Yuxing nodded lightly and said, "Then I'll offer so advice to Secretary Du! Secretary Du is busy with public affairs and is devoted to his work, which is evident to all!"
"Hehe... That's right, it should be! We must be loyal to the Party, responsible to the people, and serve the greater good!" Du Yuesheng's heart relaxed a bit, secretly wondering if her view of him had changed?
"But no matter how busy you are with work, shouldn't you also take care of your family? Your fourth wife seems to have so complaints about your dostic life!"
