He deeply felt the influence and leadership of an outstanding leading cadre, and also felt his own responsibility and mission.

Zhou Zhiyuan stood at the door of the study, looking at Secretary Zheng Xiaoting's back, feeling mixed emotions.

He took a deep breath, turned to look at Qi Yueting, and smiled slightly, "Secretary Qi, I won't bother Secretary Zheng anymore."

Qi Yueting looked at Zhou Zhiyuan, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.

She knew that Zhou Zhiyuan was a smart man and knew what to do in different situations.

She nodded and said quickly, "Director Zhou, Secretary Zheng has me here. If you have anything else to do, go ahead and do it!"

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded and walked into the study again.

This made Qi Yueting at a loss, and even Secretary Zheng Xiaoting felt a little strange.

The study is decorated in a simple and elegant style, full of the fragrance of books.

Secretary Zheng Xiaoting's desk was piled with documents and books. She sat in a comfortable leather chair and looked at Zhou Zhiyuan coming in. She smiled slightly and said, "Zhou Zhiyuan, please sit down."

Zhou Zhiyuan sat down on the sofa and watched Secretary Zheng Xiaoting carefully reading the documents. He couldn't help feeling a little confused.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Secretary Zheng, is there anything I can help you with?"

Zheng Xiaoting raised her head and glanced at Zhou Zhiyuan, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes. "Zhou Zhiyuan, do you really think I'm just a secretary who can only hold meetings and sign documents?"

Zhou Zhiyuan was slightly stunned. He knew Zheng Xiaoting was not that kind of person, but he still asked curiously, "Then Secretary Zheng is..."

Zheng Xiaoting didn't answer him, but suddenly stood up and walked towards Zhou Zhiyuan, which scared him.

She hugged Zhou Zhiyuan and kissed him deeply.

Zhou Zhiyuan felt his body stiffen instantly. He tried to break free, but Zheng Xiaoting held him tighter.

"Secretary Zheng..." Zhou Zhiyuan said with some stammering.

"Don't call me Secretary Zheng anymore,"

Zheng Xiaoting said softly, "When you accompanied me back to the mansion, I thought about it. You are the most outstanding person I have ever met. I have always wanted to be with you."

Zhou Zhiyuan felt mixed emotions as he listened to Zheng Xiaoting's words.

He knew that there were too many differences between him and Zheng Xiaoting. He was just an ordinary civil servant, while she was the secretary of the municipal party committee.

He wanted to refuse, but he felt that such an opportunity might only come once in a lifetime.

"But..." Zhou Zhiyuan hesitated and said, "Will this have a bad impact?"

"No," Zheng Xiaoting said with a smile, "This is my decision."

Zhou Zhiyuan knew he couldn't refuse Zheng Xiaoting's enthusiasm and determination.

He took a deep breath and hugged her tightly.

The kiss between the two became more and more intense, as if they were about to melt into each other.

However, just as they were about to move forward, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Zhou Zhiyuan and Zheng Xiaoting were both stunned. Qi Yueting's voice came from outside the door, "Secretary Zheng, your phone is ringing."

Hearing this voice, Zhou Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly left Zheng Xiaoting's arms with an awkward smile on his face.

Zheng Xiaoting smiled awkwardly, "Oh, okay, I'll be right there."

She walked to the door and opened it, her face pale as she answered the phone.

Zhou Zhiyuan looked at her back as she left, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew he had almost made a mistake, but at the same time he was glad that he hadn't missed the opportunity.

He will make good use of this opportunity.

Zhou Zhiyuan stood at the door of the study, looking at Secretary Zheng Xiaoting's back, feeling mixed emotions.

He understood that this time he had intruded into the private space of the municipal party secretary and might cause unnecessary trouble.

However, he had to follow Zheng Xiaoting's footsteps because he and she had work cooperation and he couldn't let this affect their relationship.

Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Qi Yueting who was sitting on the sofa. She was a beautiful and intelligent woman. As Zheng Xiaoting's personal secretary, she had already adapted to the tedious and busy life of this position.

Seeing Zhou Zhiyuan, Qi Yueting smiled and nodded to him. Even though she knew that there was something unclear between Zhou Zhiyuan and Zheng Xiaoting, she could only feel jealous.

Zheng Xiaoting gestured to Zhou Zhiyuan to go into the study again. Zhou Zhiyuan looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar place and took a deep breath.

This is not just a study, but also a private part of Zheng Xiaoting.

Behind the desk, Zheng Xiaoting looked at him, her eyes full of expectation and trust.

Zhou Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, he knew he couldn't let Zheng Xiaoting down.

He glanced at Qi Yueting and saw her smiling and nodding, telling him not to worry.

Qi Yueting tactfully left Zheng Xiaoting's study. She shook her head, feeling uncomfortable deep down inside. Her body felt hot and restless, and she wished she could be Zhou Zhiyuan's partner.

Zheng Xiaoting once again threw herself into Zhou Zhiyuan's arms without saying a word.

At that moment, their bodies were tightly attached to each other, and their hearts seemed to be integrated.

Their kiss was passionate and deep, as if they were melting into each other's arms.

However, Zhou Zhiyuan soon realized that they were in a sensitive situation and he had to restrain his emotions.

He gently pushed Zheng Xiaoting away and let her sit on the chair in front of the desk.

He stood aside, trying to remain calm, even though his heart was filled with love and longing for her.

Zheng Xiaoting looked at Zhou Zhiyuan with disappointment in her eyes.

She knew that he was a man of principle and would not make the wrong decision because of a momentary impulse.

She understood his decision and respected his choice.

Zhou Zhiyuan tried to remain silent to avoid unnecessary complications.

He knew that at this moment, every word he said could be misunderstood.

So he stood quietly aside, watching Zheng Xiaoting busy handling official business in the study.

The whole study was filled with the faint scent of ink and the faint fragrance emanating from Zheng Xiaoting, which made Zhou Zhiyuan miss her even more.

He knew that the relationship between them had undergone subtle changes, but he also understood that they had to maintain a certain distance and respect.

Finally, Zheng Xiaoting finished the work at hand. She looked up at Zhou Zhiyuan, her eyes flashing with understanding and gratitude.

She knew that he was a trustworthy person and someone she could love deeply.

Zhou Zhiyuan smiled slightly. He knew that their relationship had gone beyond the scope of work cooperation and personal relationship.

The feelings between them became deeper and more sincere, which was the tacit understanding and trust between them.

The story between them is not over, but just beginning.

They need more time and space to understand and adapt to each other's changes, and to feel each other's love and longing.

They must remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances, because they all know that the only thing that remains unchanged in this world is change!
