"Zhou Zhiyuan, even if it's just for a little bit of career resources, you have to maintain a cold marriage, otherwise, it will all be in vain in the end!" Zheng Xiaoting whispered.

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded. He and his wife had not had much passionate sex since they got married.

This fully demonstrates that their marriage is based on mutual needs.

She wants a stable job for Zhou Zhiyuan, and Zhou Zhiyuan wants status for her.

Zhou Zhiyuan’s wife, Zhao Jing, is a “second-generation rich official” in Saikun County. Her father, Zhao Donglai, is the deputy director of the Saikun County People’s Congress, and her mother, Li Xuemei, is the owner of Saikun Supermarket, the largest supermarket in Saikun County.

Zhao Jing has no job and helps her mother manage the Saikun Supermarket.

Zhao Jing was initially hired as a typist in Saishang Town. She had a very low level of education, but somehow she ended up graduating from a vocational high school, but she actually had a diploma from a vocational and technical college.

After Zhou Zhiyuan became a clerk in Saishang Town, the two gradually got together.

That's why Zheng Xiaoting asked Zhou Zhiyuan to maintain the marriage. After all, Zhao Jing's father, Zhao Donglai, is the deputy director of the People's Congress of Saikun County.

After Zhou Zhiyuan and Zhao Jing got married, he became the town mayor's assistant, but he still worked part-time as a clerk.

Before and after marriage, the relationship between the two is completely different.

Zhao Jing became more and more domineering and denied everything Zhou Zhiyuan said, including the fact that he initially worked as a clerk, which she attributed to her parents' credit.

Although Zhou Zhiyuan's family is not rich, they are just an ordinary family, but Zhou Zhiyuan graduated from the prestigious Qinqi University, which is the top university in Qinqi Province.

Although Qinqi University is not as good as Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University, it is a household name in Qinqi Province.

It was because Zhou Zhiyuan had a high degree and was sent to the grassroots level for training as a top student that the current Party Secretary of Saishang Town had to appoint Zhou Zhiyuan to the position of clerk.

What's more, Li Xuehui, the Party Secretary of Saishang Town, is the cousin of Zhao Jing's mother Li Xuemei.

Otherwise, Zhao Jing would have been disparaging Zhou Zhiyuan by saying that all his food, clothing, and other expenses came from their family.

What Li Xuehui never expected was that he placed Zhou Zhiyuan next to Zheng Xiaoting in order to control the town mayor Zheng Xiaoting.

However, Zheng Xiaoting's eyes when looking at Zhou Zhiyuan changed from then on, becoming much warmer and more affectionate.

Because Zheng Xiaoting received a phone call, she hurried back to the city, leaving Zhou Zhiyuan feeling lonely.

When Zhou Zhiyuan returned home, the house was still cold. Zhao Jing hadn't been back for a long time and she basically lived with her parents.

Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head and went to the skewers restaurant run by his parents.

Because it was summer, the skewers shop was not doing well, and Zhou Zhiyuan could hear his parents arguing through the glass window.

They quarreled endlessly, one because of the poor business of the skewers shop, and the other because of Zhou Zhiyuan's second brother Zhou Zhibiao.

Zhou Zhibiao was uneducated and had not even graduated from high school. He just hung out on the streets of Saikun County, doing nothing and learning how to be a "young and dangerous" gangster with a bunch of hooligans.

Just now, Zhou Zhibiao got drunk and smashed someone's barber shop.

The accomplice ran away, Zhou Zhibiao was arrested, and his family had to pay compensation to the barber shop.

Zhou Zhiyuan's parents were determined to get their second son Zhou Zhibiao out, so they asked Zhou Zhiyuan to find his father-in-law Zhao Donglai.

However, Zhou Zhiyuan called his wife Zhao Jing, who flatly refused, leaving him no chance to even find Zhao Donglai.

When Zhou Zhiyuan pushed the door open, his parents burst into tears as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, making Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes red as well.

"Mom and Dad, my second brother's case isn't serious. After compensation, he'll probably be released in a month or two."

"How can your second brother endure it for one or two months?" Zhou Zhiyuan's father said sternly.

"You old fool, why are you yelling at your son? He's having a hard time too!"

Listening to what the two elders said, it is very clear that the mother values ​​the eldest son Zhou Zhiyuan more, while the father values ​​the second son Zhou Zhibiao more.

Originally, Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to come to his parents' skewers restaurant to eat some skewers and drink a few bottles of beer to relieve his fatigue. However, due to such an atmosphere, Zhou Zhiyuan had to give his bonus to his mother and return to his cold home.

The down payment for Zhou Zhiyuan and Zhao Jing’s wedding house came from their respective parents, and the remaining mortgage was financed with Zhou Zhiyuan’s salary.

Then Zhou Zhiyuan would have very little left. If Zhou Zhiyuan had not worked as a clerk in Saishang Town, his personal life would have been very difficult.

At least Zhou Zhiyuan didn't have to pay for meals, fortunately, Saishang Town was still considered the "leadership class".

Zhou Zhiyuan can participate in the Party Committee meeting of Saishang Town, so Zhou Zhiyuan is a Party Committee member without rank.

This three-bedroom, two-living-room wedding room seemed deserted at this moment.

After drinking three bottles of beer alone, Zhou Zhiyuan fell asleep on the sofa.

Early the next morning, Zhou Zhiyuan accompanied Zheng Xiaoting and Zheng Xiaoting's driver to eat tofu pudding and fried dough sticks and buns, and then returned to Saishang Town.

Since the original office space in Saishang Town was completely flooded, they moved to a new office space.

It is very close to the hospital in Saishang Town, just across the wall. There is a beautiful nurse who is flirting with Zhou Zhiyuan.

Zheng Xiaoting saw this scene, coughed, and stepped into Zhou Zhiyuan's office.

"Are you flirting? But autumn isn't here yet, is it?"

Zheng Xiaoting was sarcastic and obviously jealous. Somehow, ever since Zhou Zhiyuan rescued her, she dreamed every night that she and Zhou Zhiyuan were having a passionate and entangled time.

To the extent that the visuals are so realistic that they are beyond description.

"Mayor Zheng, are you jealous?" Zhou Zhiyuan smiled evilly and whispered.

"Go to hell, don't play such an international joke on me. Why would I be jealous?"

Zheng Xiaoting smiled and said, if it was a few days ago, maybe Zheng Xiaoting would have been angry and made things difficult for Zhou Zhiyuan!

Before Zhou Zhiyuan could say anything, Zheng Xiaoting whispered, "Hurry up and talk to Deputy Director Zhao. The county's comprehensive governance office has already been established. Rumor has it that comprehensive governance offices will soon be established in townships, and they'll be at the deputy section level!"

"Mayor Zheng, is that true?" Zhou Zhiyuan was shocked. This was a very useful piece of gossip.

"Is it cooked?"

Zheng Xiaoting asked back, shrugged her shoulders, and walked away after saying this, leaving Zhou Zhiyuan with a beautiful back that he couldn't let go for a long time!

After Zhou Zhiyuan settled some matters with his office assistant Lan Meiyu, he called a black taxi and returned to Saikun County.

Zhou Zhiyuan did not go to find Zhao Jing and Li Xuemei, mother and daughter, because he knew very well that they did not care about his affairs and did not have such awareness.

So Zhou Zhiyuan went to find his father-in-law Zhao Donglai immediately. Zhao Donglai coughed indifferently and motioned his son-in-law Zhou Zhiyuan to sit down.
