Chapter 2406 - 2406: Dushali

"Du Shali..."

When Lu Jie uttered these three words, there was a sense of melancholy, her heart stirred with a hint of bitterness.

Liu Zhizhong didn't notice it; sometimes a woman's heart can be deeply hidden.

Immediately, Liu Zhizhong was taken aback, "Chief Du, huh? This..."

He suddenly understood many things, but still put on a doubtful expression.

In his mind, he could certainly imagine Secretary Luo's little affair, Du Shali, with her mature and seductive appearance.

Young and beautiful, with fair, delicate skin and a curvaceous figure, she was in every sense a first-rate beautiful woman!

Otherwise, how could she catch the secretary's eye?

However... even though Liu Zhizhong figured it out, doubts still lingered.

Obviously, he had a foundation with Du Shali. At least that time's 8 million advertising revenue split for Du Shali was a very significant and legitimate commitment!

Secretary Luo couldn't possibly be unaware of this, certainly feeling very satisfied?

Next, if the expressway project has Du Shali's help, it would clearly pass through the City Committee smoothly. Hehe...

But wouldn't this make things ambiguous between him and Du Shali? Wouldn't old man Secretary Luo be suspicious?

If he becomes suspicious, many things would then be difficult to handle!

Of course, Liu Zhizhong was unaware that Du Shali had been fantasizing deeply about him, not just for a day or two. Her dream lover, many times in her sleep she made him go crazy, waking up in tears!

Even if Liu Zhizhong was expelled, returned to the local area, and became a town mayor in a remote township, Du Shali still couldn't forget him, constantly yearning for him.

Just that, Du Shali couldn't find a reason to contact him.

And Lu Jie?

Originally, she was in a competitive relationship with Du Shali, wasn't she, because of Liu Zhizhong?

She could sense Du Shali's thoughts toward Liu Zhizhong, naturally feeling displeased with her.

However, at this moment, Lu Jie had quite the grasp, very skillful with her perspective.

She understood that being single, her chances with Liu Zhizhong were far greater than Du Shali's.

Du Shali, what are you?

You are the little affair of the City Committee Secretary. Do you dare get involved with Liu Zhizhong? Isn't that courting death? Haha... Liu Zhizhong doesn't want his future either, huh? Haha...

So, using a love rival to pave the way for a beloved man, why not?

Look at, Vice District Chief Lu's inner perspective, her strategy, not something an average woman can achieve, right?

Liu Zhizhong, oh Liu Zhizhong, even in such difficult times, having two women longing for him, strategizing for him, isn't it a kind of happiness for a man?

Lu Jie, as if feeling Liu Zhizhong's inner thoughts, although not fully sensing, she got some of it.

Thus, she seriously said, "Whether the city approves mainly depends on Secretary Luo. And Du Shali, she is indeed the most crucial connection to Secretary Luo for you, right? So, getting her on board virtually seals the deal. In fact, you both have a foundation, right?"

Liu Zhizhong laughed, "That foundation is just your rightful earnings with her, nothing more. And now, using her to connect with Secretary Luo, that's not appropriate! After all, Secretary Luo is a man, you understand?"

Lu Jie's face flushed slightly, still associating with the bed scenes between Secretary Luo and Du Shali, so she said, "You don't have to worry about that! You don't even need to get involved yourself."

Liu Zhizhong was taken aback, not realizing the meaning, "Not involving me means...? Vice District Chief Lu, what kind of trick is this?"

Lu Jie felt pleased, see, even an outstanding man needs to seek my advice!

People love teaching others!

Giving guidance, offering opinions, enlightening others, truly a kind of inexplicable thrill!

She took a sip of coffee, "I'll step in! Hehe..."

"You? This..."

"Du Shali returned to the Southeast these days too, after all, she has to serve the secretary, hehe..."

The laughter, carrying a faint sense of disdain.

Lu Jie disdained Du Shali's approach of trading herself for honor, so the disdain was quite natural.

Even Liu Zhizhong could sense it, but he also understood, so he responded with a knowing, indifferent smile and nod, "Hmm, it really is an opportunity! Tell me more, how to go about it?"

"I will approach Du Shali and let her invest in your company! As long as Du Shali invests and holds shares, it's equivalent to Secretary Luo holding shares, right? Tell me, can Secretary Luo not oversee the situation and approve the project for you? Secretary Luo is a person cultivated by the Zhang Family, what can the Zhang Family say? Not to mention, I also count as part of the Zhang Family's influence, right?"

Liu Zhizhong suddenly realized, slapped his forehead, and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Hey, Vice District Chief Lu, you really have a way, learning from you, hehe..."

He was laughing, his smile bright and shining, enchanting the souls of women!

Lu Jie felt a surge of comfort and satisfaction. Seeing the beloved man's smile, enjoying his praises, was truly the ultimate enjoyment for a woman.

She laughed, so sweetly, truly making one feel something!

"No worries, when we do things in officialdom, we must talk strategy, right? Doing the right thing, with appropriate strategy, leads to the best result!"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right! Then, I'll leave this to you? Take care of it these next few days?"

"Hmm, no problem! I'll reach out to Du Shali this afternoon. Let's make a copy of the application and give her one, maybe she'll place it on Secretary Luo's desk for him to see!"

"I have three copies in total, hehe... all prepared."

"Alright, then let's do that..."

"..."

I must say, young people handling affairs truly have a distinctive style.

That noon, neither of them had lunch, Lu Jie took the project application, left Liu Zhizhong, and directly arranged to meet Du Shali for lunch.

This matter, Liu Zhizhong didn't get involved, just waiting for the good news.

If he joined Lu Jie to meet Du Shali for lunch, my goodness, seeing him would make Du Shali's excitement overflow.

The charm of a man, for a woman, this effect is quite normal.

Liu Zhizhong, indeed, headed home to take care of himself.

As for Lu Jie, she really managed to arrange lunch with Du Shali.

Though the two were rivals in love, they managed to maintain appearances reasonably well.

Lu Jie hosted, planned a French feast, and the two of them had a delightful meal.

By then, Du Shali caught sight of the Changling Expressway project application, saw her dream lover's name, felt her heart melting, and tingled below, hahaha...

She admired her lover, felt proud, didn't expect Liu Zhizhong, despite being banished, hadn't given up and was still working hard!

How could such a man not make a woman fall in love, not move her heart? Of course, Lu Jie also loved this aspect of Liu Zhizhong~~~~
