Chapter 2404 - 2404:

This feeling is somewhat subtle, those who understand will understand.

But at this moment, Liu Zhizhong was still absolutely calm, with a smile on his face, he said, "Hey, Mr. Lu, back already?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already put the briefcase in the passenger seat and turned to walk towards Lu Jie.

Lu Jie looked at this dream lover, his steady steps, extraordinary demeanor, her heart trembled secretly with affection.

Originally, this time back, she wanted to find an opportunity to see Liu Zhizhong, have a chat, sit down for a meal together.

Unexpectedly, here it is, the opportunity came right to her doorstep.

He's here!

A man who makes women extremely infatuated and crazy, came... walking towards her.

Lu Jie hurriedly tidied her hair, the gentle and cool demeanor between her fingers exuded a myriad of charms, deeply attracting Liu Zhizhong, stirring his heart.

Of course, a seasoned hunter, facing such prey, would only be calm and composed, not flustered or rushed.

Therefore, Liu Zhizhong naturally, calmly came in front of Lu Jie.

Lu Jie smiled slightly, nodded, full of joy, even her heartbeat started to accelerate.

She said, "The Party School course is halfway over, we took a short break, five days, so I'm back to the Southeast. Just right, the district government has some documents that I should review, then give feedback, so I'm here, working while visiting colleagues, two birds one stone."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "That's great! Mr. Lu continues his studies without forgetting his main duties, admirable, haha..."

Being praised by her heart's desire, Lu Jie naturally felt very gratified, and smiled, "Thank you, it's also part of my duty! How about you, are you happy working in Linxi Town?"

Liu Zhizhong smiled slightly, "Happy as it can be, not happy in some ways, haha... But, seeing my superior today, still quite happy."

In her heart, Lu Jie sympathized with Liu Zhizhong, knowing this was Zhang Family's suppression that exiled him to Linxi Town, and it happened to be her subordinate town!

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong amused her heart, feeling very gratified, she smiled, "Look at what you're saying, haha… Oh, if you hadn't resigned from your class leader position and returned to the locality, maybe I would still be your class subordinate!"

"Haha, it's fate, some things can't be forced, I've come to terms with it. How's everything with you?"

"Hmm, pretty well, pretty well. How about you, are you here for something today?"

With that, the topic naturally shifted to Liu Zhizhong.

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong had a somewhat bitter expression, he said, "There is something, I've been in the city for two days, but can't get anything done here, haha..."

The final laugh was somewhat awkward, especially capable of eliciting a woman's sympathy.

How could Lu Jie bear hearing this?

My heart's desire, he's at the East River District Government, can't get things done?

Who is this, so disrespectful to me?

Look, a woman's mindset is indeed different when infatuated...

At this moment, Lu Jie said, "What is it, so difficult to handle? Tell me, maybe I can help somehow."

Inwardly, Liu Zhizhong was pleased, just in his distress, here came a savior, brought right to him.

Thus, Liu Zhizhong shook his head, "Mr. Lu, this matter... is hard to explain just like that..."

Before he could finish, Lu Jie had already said, "Alright then, wait for me an hour, then we'll talk in detail! You..."

Saying this, she thought for a moment, then continued, "You go to that Water View Cafe over there, book a room and wait for me. I'll come right over after I'm done with the paperwork, alright?"

This gentle, negotiating tone was very gratifying for Liu Zhizhong!

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Lu, really need to trouble you with this!"

"What's the trouble about? See you soon?"

"Good…"

In no time, Liu Zhizhong happily drove away from the district government, heading directly to the Water View Cafe.

The cafe layout was cozy, with a touch of the petite bourgeoisie, there was a hall, booths, and private rooms.

At this time, the cafe had just opened recently, Liu Zhizhong arrived and requested the private room with the best view, naturally receiving enthusiastic service.

Liu Zhizhong knew how to enjoy, ordered a pot of their top-notch Blue Mountain coffee, let it brew slowly, ready in an hour or so is fine.

Afterwards, he sat in the private room, smoked a cigarette, drank lightly scented lemon water, waited for the coffee, looked at the river scenery outside, feeling quite good.

Beside him, of course, was his briefcase, containing the project proposal naturally to be presented to Lu Jie later.

Once the coffee was brewed, it was brought up, Liu Zhizhong poured himself a cup, the rich aroma wafting through, feeling extremely comfortable.

Just as he poured, Lu Jie pushed the door open and entered, her face radiant with a joyful smile, very charming.

"Wow, Mayor Liu, the coffee smells so good!"

Liu Zhizhong chuckled, quickly grabbed a cup, and poured her one.

"The best Blue Mountain here, the aroma is really nice. Just brewed, just in time as you arrived. Come, have a taste?"

"Okay, thanks!"

Of course, receiving coffee from her heart's desire, Lu Jie felt gratified!

After taking a sip, she couldn't help but say, "Hmm, really smells great! Don't just look, try some too, the taste is really nice~~~"

Liu Zhizhong then raised his cup, gracefully saluted, tasted some himself, and couldn't help but praise it.

Then, Lu Jie said, "Alright, Mayor Liu, tell me about your matter."

Now Liu Zhizhong wasn't shy, he explained the project matter.

This time, it left Lu Jie stunned, she was somewhat excited.

She never expected her heart's desire to have such grand plans, extremely creative.

Thereupon, she nodded, "Mayor Liu, you really dare to think and act! In a place like Linxi, you can have your own path of struggle, such high aspirations, truly remarkable! However, haha, Mr. Ma's attitude, clearly finds it difficult for you, doesn't want to pay attention to you!"

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Hmm, anyone can see it. Mr. Ma has no interest in remote towns like ours. Maybe he thinks my project application is just asking for money. So, he won't give such an opportunity."

Lu Jie nodded, took a sip of coffee, said, "Let me see your project proposal?"

"Alright, sure..."

Liu Zhizhong was thrilled!

Then, he took the project proposal from his briefcase, handed it to Lu Jie with both hands, asking her to review it.

Lu Jie, at this moment, felt like she's found a treasure, taking it with a smile, started to flip through.

For a woman, getting to review a project personally prepared by her heart's desire, this unexpectedly felt like an honor, haha...
