Chapter 0008: The Beautiful Secretary-General

Although I have not proactively reported my whereabouts to Chen Mingde since yesterday afternoon, from Ge Yongqiu's tone this morning, it seems that Chen Mingde should be aware that he left the hospital yesterday and will be going to the city steel mill with Ge Yongqiu today

Her family background allows her to avoid having to cater to the whims of male officials in the political arena, and she does not need to exchange her body for anything

Zhou Yu has always aimed to convey a sense of competence through her attire, and at times her gaze is deliberately sharp. She even intentionally wears a pair of black, non-prescription tortoiseshell glasses. However, her voluptuous and mature figure, radiant face, and skin as fair and tender as that of a young girl significantly undermine her image as a female official

As the secretary to the standing committee vice mayor Shen Huai was originally supposed to stay in the hospital for observation, he suddenly discharged himself yesterday; today he returned requesting to be hospitalized again. The hospital naturally did not say anything and simply provided him with another room.

Someone called out "Zhou Yu" from behind. Shen Huai leaned out to see that it was the driver of Mayor Gao Tianhe's car, who had chased out from the building

"Do not ask too many questions. If you can drive, accompany me to Nanyuan." Zhou Yu opened the car door and was about to get in.

I returned from the city steel mill, and my left shoulder started to hurt again, so I went to the hospital once more. Shen Huai fabricated a reason, half true and half false, without fearing that others would investigate his whereabouts. He then asked, "What exactly happened?"

As the largest state-owned enterprise in Donghua City, the complexity of interpersonal relationships at the municipal steel mill is arguably no less intricate than that of the municipal party committee and government. Shen Huai has witnessed the vicissitudes of life and various circumstances.

Moreover, the previous Shen Huai also had an arrogant disposition. The influence of his family background provided him with a remarkably high starting point in his perspective: having witnessed central leaders lose their temper and scold others, he found the behavior of the municipal party secretary to be trivial and childish, sensing a significant disparity in their presence.

After all, Chen Mingde was sent by the provincial government to replace Mayor Gao Tianhe. If one cannot gather evidence against the harassment, making a scene will only lead others to laugh at oneself

Although women in China also pay attention to their figures, they generally exercise less, resulting in narrower hips and a lack of soft and voluptuous curves from the waist to the hips

Zhou Yu was almost perfectly taut, without a single wrinkle, presenting her full and rounded hips right in front of Shen Huai's eyes—enough to stir any man who looked at her.

Secretary-General Zhou, Secretary-General Zhou...

Zhou Yu hurriedly descended the steps, his chest heaving rhythmically, as if waves were undulating in a rhythmic motion.

At this moment, Chen Mingde did not think to look for him, nor did he instruct anyone to get in touch, which was somewhat unusual

Oh. Wu Haifeng let out a cold snort, his old face still stern, and he led his secretary into Building 6.

Shen Huai thought to himself: In the past, although his life was quite messy, his taste in women was truly impeccable

Wu Haifeng watched as Shen Huai and Zhou Yu approached, and immediately seized Shen Huai, reprimanding loudly: "How are you performing your duties as a secretary? On workdays, you should be by the leader's side at all times. When an incident occurs, why were you not at Nanyuan?"

She appeared restless, her fair face seemingly coated with a layer of powder, flushed and rosy. Her gaze lacked the usual calmness, as if something grave had occurred.

Not only must he not evade Chen Mingde, but he must also change Chen Mingde's perception of him. Only then is it possible to reconcile with the Song family and, in terms of career development, to strive for greater support from the Song family

Shen Huai had a hearty meal in the hospital room and did not wake up until after 2 PM, when he began to read.

Wu Haifeng is a large man, but he has a robust physique. His skin is naturally dark, and at this moment, with a scowling expression and the dusk deepening, he appears as if he is about to unleash a thunderous rage.

This flaw is completely absent in Zhou Yu.

Although Zhou Yu extremely disliked Shen Huai, he could not place the blame for the current situation on Shen Huai. At this moment, failing to explain for Shen Huai and later informing Wu Haifeng of the details would instead make it appear that he was intentionally trying to set Shen Huai up.

As he drove into the municipal government compound, Shen Huai saw from a distance his immediate superior, Deputy Secretary-General Zhou Yuzheng, coming out of the building

"Secretary General Zhou, what has happened in the city?" Shen Huai drove the car over and asked

One can understand simply by looking: as long as one extends a finger to press down, it is certain that there will be a significant rebound effect.

Upon witnessing this situation, it is not difficult for Shen Huai to understand why, in the past, he had an unwavering attachment to Zhou Yu, whom he could not manipulate

Shen Huai was stunned for quite a while, and it was not until Zhou Yu walked into the lobby and turned back that he seemed to regain his senses and walked into Building 6

What on earth is going on

The more he thought about it, the stranger it became. Shen Huai felt somewhat restless in the hospital, so he quickly tidied up and drove back to the city government to assess the situation. He thought to himself: what needs to be faced must be faced; avoiding it is not a solution. Moreover, he needed to get his life back on track, as he could only place his hopes on Chen Mingde. It was not an option to hide away and not be seen.

... ...

The window of Vehicle No. 1 was half open, and the somber face of the municipal party secretary, Wu Haifeng, emerged, his sharp gaze sweeping over Shen Huai's eyes.

For more than half a year, Shen Huiming had been harassing her both overtly and covertly, displaying an irritable and arrogant demeanor, which made Zhou Yu deeply detest him

As the prominent figure in Donghua City, although the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Wu Haifeng, has a broad vision, he is still recognized by several individuals around the members of the Municipal Party Committee.

Zhou Yuyi had already extended one foot inside, while his body remained at the car door. He turned to the driver of Mayor Gao Tianhe and said: "You stay here and see if Mayor Gao needs the car. I will take Secretary Shen's car to Nanyuan first"

The vehicle stopped in front of Building 6, which is located deep within the South Garden near Cui Lake. In front of the building, there was a police car and an ambulance parked. Shen Huai and Zhou Yu got out of the car, while the first to alight, the municipal party secretary Wu Haifeng, stood at the steps of Building 6 waiting for them

From Shen Huai's perspective, he happened to see Zhou Yu stepping into the car with one foot, her entire body twisting from the hip; this posture made the coffee-colored, slightly elastic long pants she was wearing today stretch very tightly across her arms

She also knows that those serious officials have very dirty minds and lewd gazes. However, no matter how filthy their thoughts may be or how far from proper their daily lives are, at least they do not break certain rules and dare not openly harass her

Although the person before her had a relatively handsome face, there was a pallor that suggested a life drained by indulgence, which made her uncomfortable. Particularly, Shen Huai's hollow, lifeless eyes exuded a kind of sinister aura that she could not articulate—this was Zhou Yu's immediate impression of Shen Huai when he first arrived at Donghua more than half a year ago; this visceral impression made her dislike Shen Huai.

In the past, Zhou Yu would likely have just nodded indifferently and left. At this moment, seeing Shen Huai suddenly appear, he impatiently asked: "Where have you been? Secretary Ge said you returned to the city this morning?"

Zhou Yuhe - Picture - The book urges Shen Huai to drive quickly to Nanyuan, with the intention of not rushing to tell him the truth. She secretly thinks: If you dare to lay your hands on me again, just watch me chop off your little chicken and feed it to the dogs...

Perhaps it was an unconscious belief that no matter how significant the events occurring in the city were, they were someone else's affairs, unrelated to him at that moment. Shen Huai did not feel particularly anxious; instead, his attention was drawn to the posture of Zhou Yu...

Along the way, Shen Huai was contemplating how to reconcile with the Song family, thinking that with such a powerful support from the Song family, it must be utilized. Only then could he possibly achieve things he had never dared to imagine before, and reach heights he had never thought possible.

Zhou Yu got into the car and noticed Shen Huai stealing glances at him, feeling increasingly impatient in his heart, his brows furrowing.

If there were other vehicles available, Zhou Yu would never ride in his car. Shen Huai became increasingly certain that something significant had occurred at Nanyuan, to the extent that Zhou Yu could not afford to feel disgusted with himself

Zhou Yu, being very strong-willed, naturally did not want to leave a bad impression on the municipal party secretary Wu Haifeng. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he explained on behalf of Shen Huai

Zhou Yu was wearing a fitted snow-white shirt. As she stood twisted at the car door, Sun Shen could see the rounded edges of her high, uplifted chest. The shirt was pulled down, cinched at the waist, and the curve from her waist down to her hips displayed the perfection of mature femininity.

Only this Shen Huai is truly detestable, not only is he arrogant and dismissive of others, but he even has the audacity to touch his own thigh while pretending to doze off. Zhou Yucai sometimes feels at a loss when dealing with such a rogue; as long as he does not go too far, he merely keeps his distance from him.

Although Shen Huai was deeply reluctant to meet Chen Mingde too soon, by the time he was with Tu Shu, the fact that Chen Mingde had not made a single phone call still struck him as strange

When the vehicle arrived at the southern garden, Shen Huai noticed that the municipal party committee's number one car had already turned in half a step ahead of them

... ...

Zhou Yujian saw Shen Huai standing there in a daze and said in a suppressed voice: "Mayor Chen returned to Nanyuan to rest at noon and suffered a heart attack. By the time it was discovered, the opportunity for rescue had already been missed..." After saying this, he glanced at Shen Huai's face and then stepped forward into Building 6.

Shen Huai found it somewhat difficult to take a step forward

Shen Huai was not easily intimidated by the scolding from Wu Haifeng; he was also somewhat taken aback, unsure of what serious matter had occurred with Vice Mayor Chen Mingde.

Four days ago, Mayor Chen led a team to inspect the city steel plant, where an unfortunate accident occurred resulting in a fatality. Secretary Shen was accidentally struck by a worker who fell, sustaining minor injuries. Mayor Chen specifically arranged for Secretary Shen to be observed in the hospital for a few days, which is why Secretary Shen was not by Mayor Chen's side when the incident happened today. I have just found Secretary Shen, and I have not yet had the opportunity to discuss the situation in Nanyuan with him... Zhou Yu also spoke briefly, trying to exonerate Shen Huai. I have just found Secretary Shen, and I have not yet had the opportunity to discuss the situation in Nanyuan with him... Zhou Yu also spoke briefly, trying to exonerate Shen Huai.

Shen Huai seemed to have been struck by lightning; he had placed his hopes of getting his life back on track in Chen Mingde's body. Just this afternoon, he was still preoccupied with this matter, yet he never expected to be dealt another blow so soon—Chen Mingde died from a heart attack

Zhou Yu was startled at the sight of Shen Huai's pale face, instinctively furrowing his delicate brows.

On an autumn afternoon, the weather has already turned cool, yet beads of sweat are on Zhou Yu's cheeks and forehead

Shen Huaixin's heart tightened, and at that moment, he subconsciously thought of the significant events that had occurred in the South Garden, which were related to him; otherwise, the municipal party secretary, who usually had no dealings with the city government staff, would not be looking at him so pointedly.
