Zhang Yuxing snorted coldly and took a sip of tea.
She felt quite content inside at Secretary Du's submissive attitude.
After setting down her teacup, she spoke indifferently, "Secretary Du, no matter what, you are Hongyang's biological uncle and part of our Zhang Family. That's why I didn't speak up during the eting. I did so to save you enough face and dignity, right?"
Secretary Du could only offer an awkward smile and nod. "Yes, yes, indeed... family, heh... I've never had any ulterior motives."
"So, you better not have any designs on my forr sister-in-law, Lu Yuqing, okay?" Zhang Yuxing said, her eyes emitting a cold light as she fixed her gaze firmly on Secretary Du.
Imdiately, Secretary Du felt uncomfortable and squird a little. "Ah... ha... sure, sure, I got it, I got it. What Yue Xing says goes, right?"
His smile was sowhat obsequious and very flattering.
Zhang Yuxing nodded slightly. "That's better. Actually, Secretary Du, am I not doing this for your good? My forr sister-in-law isn't particularly lucky. My second brother is worthless enough, and then she married Secretary Ma and ended up inside too, completely ruined. If you were to marry her... heh, can paper really wrap fire? Regardless of whether she is innocent, politically speaking, having such a wife will inevitably affect your career. You've reached this point now and if you want to climb higher, you really need to be clean!"
"Yes, yes, you're right, little sister. I was just confused for a mont, confused indeed..."
"Having entered the Zhang family's system, you now hold a high position and have hopes of advancing even further. Don't let everyone down; they are all watching..."
"Heh, definitely, I will work hard..."
"..."
In the end, Zhang Yuxing really wasn't too bad at this officialdom ga. She had embarrassed Secretary Du at the eting almost to the point he couldn't step down, and afterwards, she played the good person who was looking out for his interests, yet Secretary Du had to cling to her and suppress his frustration within.
But the matter of Lu Yuqing was thus settled for good.
When Zhang Yuxing was leaving, she said that as long as Lu Yuqing was her sister-in-law for one day, she would forever be considered her sister-in-law, and her decision to marry or not to marry was her own freedom. No one could force or coerce her into marriage.
With such words, Secretary Du was pressed so hard that he didn't have the slightest energy to resist and still had to smile as he escorted her and Liu Zhizhong out the door.
Once the door closed, Secretary Du's face grew even darker.
He looked at his younger brother-in-law, Wen Jiabao, who was standing behind the sofa, checking ssages on his phone, and spoke in a deep voice, "Jiabao, what do you think of this situation?"
Wen Jiabao was rather scheming, and he let out a cold laugh, "Brother-in-law, what can I think? I just stand by your side and watch!"
"Go on, cut the crap! I'm not joking with you! Tell , don't you think it's ti to deal with that woman Zhang Yuxing?"
Secretary Du sat down heavily and gestured for his brother-in-law to sit beside him and talk.
Wen Jiabao had always been quite close with his brother-in-law, and their conversations were fairly casual. Even after his sister's passing, the relationship on his side with his brother-in-law had never faded.
The main reason, in truth, was related to Wen Jiabao's wife. More precisely, Secretary Du had slept with his mother-in-law and was still occasionally involved with her - only Wen Jiabao was unaware.
Wen Jiabao, a cunning young brother-in-law, was no pushover either. He responded coldly, "Zhang Yuxing, a mayor relying on her family's local influence, caused you such embarrassnt today. You might endure it, but I can't. The Party controls everything, and yet she dares to act wildly above the Party's head?"
Hearing this, Secretary Du took pleasure in his words and said darkly, "Exactly! I'm sick of playing the fool in front of that woman; we need to find a way to deal with her! So tell , what should we do?"
Wen Jiabao pushed his glasses up and spoke in a low voice, "What else can we do but take care of her? Shut her up from above and below, and she'll have nothing left to say. Won are often like that! Didn't you want to marry her back in the day, brother-in-law? She sure has her charms. Let's craft a good plan, maybe it could work!"
