Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Zhang Dongyang Makes a Move, Aggressively Poaching!

"No way, I can’t let Xu Qianli keep going on the offensive against me."

"Otherwise, even if I’m not pregnant with Xu Qianli’s child, my mature body would definitely not be able to stay away from that bad guy."

"I must quickly think of a way to completely resolve the issue of Xu Qianli."

"But what should I think of at the moment?"

While Zhao Mei’s thoughts were in disarray, she quickly returned to the banquet hall.

She was naturally gorgeous, and after her encounter with Xu Qianli, her entire being was radiating a happy and charming aura, which drew even more attention. Many men couldn’t take their eyes off her and wished they could devour her in one gulp.

After a while, Xu Qianli came back.

Zhang Xue had been waiting in the banquet hall. Seeing him return, she hurried over, "Tell me, Xu Qianli, where did you run off to just now? Sneaking out for so long, were you up to something naughty?"

Xu Qianli replied, "What do you mean, something naughty? I just felt too stuffy and went out for a smoke, that’s all."

Zhang Xue scoffed disdainfully and gave Xu Qianli a sharp look.

"Bullshit!"

"Your body is all perfumed, and you look all refreshed, with your clothes all wrinkled—it’s obvious you just messed around with a woman."

"Minister Zhao also returned after a good while, looking radiant and smelling of the same perfume as you—I guess you two definitely have something going on!"

Zhang Xue directly exposed Xu Qianli’s lie, and explicitly pointed out his relationship with Zhao Mei.

She was absolutely certain the two must have had an affair; they had surely gone someplace to do embarrassing things.

Hearing this, Xu Qianli hurriedly covered Zhang Xue’s plump, flushed lips and whispered, "I must admit, madam, you truly have a knack for criminal investigation. I give up; you win. But whatever it is, can’t we talk about it privately instead of right now?"

"Let go of me!"

Zhang Xue, her mouth covered, was incredibly annoyed and quickly pushed Xu Qianli away.

This bastard—probably just finished taking advantage of Zhao Mei, and he didn’t even wash his hands before covering my mouth, disgusting!

At that moment, a few people approached Xu Qianli and Zhang Xue; leading them was Zeng Changyun, who mockingly said, "Vice County Magistrate Xu, you’re impressive, getting involved with a beautiful policewoman now, and showing off your love in public without fearing it might affect your future prospects?"

"Thank you for your concern, Vice County Magistrate Zeng, but I can manage my personal life well."

"Speaking of which, Vice County Magistrate Zeng, how have you been feeling recently?"

"I happen to know several renowned men’s hospitals—I could recommend one to you. Maybe, it could make a difference."

Xu Qianli said.

Damn Zeng Changyun, daring to trouble me and slandering that I’m involved with Zhang Xue—you’re just asking for trouble!

With that comment from Xu Qianli, Zeng Changyun’s face darkened. This was his biggest pain point, and Xu Qianli mentioning it publicly was indeed abhorrent.

Many onlookers were enjoying the show, almost everyone knew Zeng Changyun’s situation as a living eunuch, yet he still dared to trouble Xu Qianli without fearing embarrassment.

Then, Zhang Dongyang approached.

"There you are, Vice County Magistrate Zeng, I’ve been looking everywhere for you."

"Although I’ve just arrived in Jiang City, I do understand some of your achievements."

"Personally, I really trust and admire you."

"Someone with your talent shouldn’t be buried. A mere position of a deputy county magistrate is not enough for showcasing your capabilities and your revenge."

"Let’s do this, why don’t you join our County Committee? Currently, there is a vacancy for the Deputy Secretary of the County Committee, and I think you’re quite suitable."

"Those who can, do more, I’ll also hand over the work of the County Disciplinary Committee to you."

"Vice County Magistrate Zeng, what do you think?"

As soon as Zhang Dongyang spoke, the entire room was in an uproar.

What, Zhang Dongyang actually wants to promote Zeng Changyun, making him the Deputy Secretary of the County Committee and also the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee!

That is truly a position of real power, much stronger than a Deputy County Magistrate.

For Zeng Changyun, it was undoubtedly a pie falling from the sky.

But Zhang Dongyang doing so was clearly snatching people right in front of Lan Qianrong, obviously wanting to break ties with Lan Qianrong; it was a daring move.

By doing this, wasn’t he afraid of thoroughly annoying Lan Qianrong, of being retaliated against by Lan Qianrong?

Faced with the sudden benefit that fell on his head, Zeng Changyun was a bit stunned for a moment.

He had not heard any news before, and he had no idea that such a thing would happen.

You say you, Zhang Dongyang, this is such a big matter, at least give me a heads up in advance, to let me mentally prepare.

Now, suddenly playing this attack, I wasn’t prepared at all, what should I do?

With the current situation, if he didn’t agree, he would definitely offend Zhang Dongyang.

If he agreed, that would be the same as slapping Lan Qianrong in the face in person, breaking ties with Lan Qianrong.

No matter what choice he made, he would offend someone, either the number one or the number two figure in Jiang City’s official circles.

He couldn’t afford to offend either of the top two figures in Jiang City’s officialdom; he simply could not make up his mind.

Seeing Zeng Changyun hesitate, Zhang Dongyang reached out and patted his shoulder, "As a man, when an opportunity comes, you can’t miss it. Do you really want to cower, to be looked down upon for the rest of your life, never able to hold your head high?"

Zeng Changyun’s heart skipped a beat.

Indeed, did he really want to be ridiculed and looked down upon for the rest of his life?

He was a living eunuch, a fact that had been revealed by that bastard Xu Qianli, and many people were pointing fingers behind his back, looking down on him immensely.

In this situation, his only option was to seek development in his career, to rise to a high position so that people could not help but look up to him.

Not to mention the position of Deputy Secretary of the County Committee, just the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee was definitely a position of real power, enough to make countless officials in Jiang City dare not even breathe heavily in front of him.

Why should he miss such a good opportunity?

Biting his teeth, Zeng Changyun said, "Secretary Zhang, thank you for your appreciation and cultivation. I will definitely not let down the trust Secretary Zhang and the organization have in me and will do my work well."

Zhang Dongyang smiled slightly, nodded his head, and was very satisfied with Zeng Changyun’s response.

After encouraging Zeng Changyun a few more words, Zhang Dongyang turned his gaze to Ding Biao, "I intend to add some more responsibilities to you as well, Vice County Magistrate Ding, how about you take on the role of County Party Organization Minister as well?"

Ding Biao was like being struck by lightning, completely dumbfounded.

What, County Party Organization Minister?

That, like the Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee, was a position of real authority, the chief steward of Jiang City’s officialdom, a position so many dreamed of but dared not imagine, and it was just easily falling into his lap?

When he regained his senses, Ding Biao, without any hesitation, quickly said, "Thank you, Secretary Zhang, for your trust; I am willing. It’s just that I was recently reprimanded, and being promoted now might not be appropriate."

Anyway, Zeng Changyun had already agreed and had already betrayed Lan Qianrong, so Ding Biao simply didn’t care that much and agreed right away!
