Chapter Thirty-Eight Summoned

  "Good morning, Mayor Luo!"

  "Good morning, Mayor Luo!"

  “……”

  It seemed that there were twice as many staff greeting along the way than usual, Luo Zheng felt a bit puzzled and quickened his pace towards the office.

  "Good morning!" Just as Luo was entering the office, Secretary Wang had just finished all the miscellaneous tasks - cleaning and tidying up, making tea, and putting the newspaper on the desk.

  "Little Wang..." Luo Zheng just called out to Secretary Wang: "Has anything happened today? Or is there any gossip about me going around?"

  Secretary Wang thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, I came early, everyone was quite normal, oh... it seems like they were more enthusiastic than before."

  "I just feel that everyone is more enthusiastic than usual today... it's weird." Luo Zheng waved his hand: "Forget it, bring the documents in."

  "Good!" Secretary Wang sent the file into the inner room and went out with a frown, after being told by the boss, he also felt that something was not quite right.

  "Boss, I remembered!" Secretary Wang suddenly rushed into the room excitedly, and in his hurry, he forgot that Luo Zheng had just told him not to call him boss.

  Luo Zheng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly and he nodded for Secretary Wang to continue.

  "Mayor..." Feeling his own mistake, Secretary Wang's face turned red: "In the future, I will be careful. Please give me a chance to correct myself, Mayor."

  Luo Zheng just waved his hand: "I didn't blame you, say whatever comes to mind!"

  "I think the reason why everyone is suddenly enthusiastic, should be because of the announcement about the new eastern city district, right?" Secretary Wang carefully glanced at Luo Zhengang's face, seeing that his boss was pondering his words, he secretly let out a sigh of relief, and when his eyes met Luo Zhengang's arm, he froze.

  "What you said is possible, alright, go down!"

  "Mayor, I'm out of here!" Secretary Wang said, and then secretly glanced at Luo Zhengang's bruised arm, took a deep breath, and his mouth twitched slightly.

  "Coughed, was raised by my daughter's little seagull!" Secretary Wang's small movement fell into Luo Zhengang's eyes, and for the sake of his reputation, he explained a bit.

  After Secretary Wang left with a terrified expression, Luo Zhenggang had a helpless face. He also knew from Secretary Wang's expression that he must have thought his explanation was an excuse. Poor Wen Xin, and she ended up taking the blame for Ou Ou.

  "Ring...ring...!" Without going through Secretary Wang's internal line, Luo Zhenggang suddenly sat up straight, cleared his throat and picked up the phone: "Secretary, what's up?"

  "Xiao Luo, come here for a moment!"

  ……

  "Haha......, had a disagreement with Warmth?" Liu Zhenghang glanced at the bruise on Luo Zhenggang's arm, and a smile flowed out of his calm face.

  "It's not, it's Ye Er raising a little seagull!" Luo Zheng had just gone dark, and the secretary found him and said this as his first sentence!

  Boo Boo will also get scolded, the location is just right on the outside of the elbow bend, it's really eye-catching. The problem is that everyone wears short sleeves this season, and if he suddenly wears a long sleeve, who knows what others will think? No way, I'll definitely punish that little thing when I get back tonight!

  "Haha......" Judging from the laughter, Luo Zheng's explanation was taken as a cover-up.

  "Secretary..."

  "It's nothing, it's normal!" Liu Zhengxing interrupted Luo Zhenggang: "We are old fellow villagers, although we don't share the same surname, but we both have 'Zheng' in our names, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

  "What instructions does the secretary have?" Luo Zhengang simply gave up on explaining, and the strings in his heart also tightened. In general, when mentioning old countrymen or generations, it means that something needs to be done for him.

  Liu Zhenghang smiled faintly: "The day after tomorrow, which is Saturday, is my old man's birthday. You all go and make it lively!"

  "Great!" Luo Zheng just sighed with a smile: "Time really flies, last year's birthday party is still in front of my eyes, and it has passed in the blink of an eye for a whole year!"

  Liu Zhenghang took out a stack of materials from the drawer: "This, you go back and study it. Since it's confirmed that you're in charge, you have to make all preparations ahead of time!"

  Luo Zheng just took it and looked at it, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. When he raised his head, there was no emotional fluctuation: "Don't worry, Secretary, I will study it carefully!"

  "Alright, I've been looking for you about this matter. Next year Old Huang will be retiring and I'll propose to give you more responsibilities. We can work together, the prospects are bright!"

  "Thank you, Secretary!" Luo Zheng's face seemed excited, but his heart was bitter beyond measure. Putting on a show for outsiders?

  On his way back to the office, looking at the enthusiastic and admiring faces, Luo Zheng felt a mix of emotions welling up in his heart. Everyone envied him for making the right choice, but they didn't understand where his struggles lay. If given another chance... he might still choose this path!

  "Mayor Huang, Mayor, please go over there for a moment!" Luo Zheng had just stepped into the office when Secretary Wang hastily came up to greet him.

  "What was it about?" Luo Zhenggang sighed lightly and asked.

  "I asked and was scolded by Secretary Yu!" Wang's secretary reflexively rubbed his ears.

  "Got it!" Luo Zhengang was quite helpless. As his prestige grew higher and higher, Mayor Huang's face became increasingly gloomy. It seemed that in order to show off his authority, he would call him over to "discuss" even the most trivial matters.

  After "drinking a pot" with the mayor, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. Luo Zheng was scratching his head with some regret, and the whole morning's time had been wasted like this. The bigger the official, the more people are oppressed, which can also explain the fundamental reason why everyone is eager to climb up.

  Back in the office, Luo Zhenggang's mood became increasingly irritable as he flipped through the materials given by Secretary Liu. He had asked Secretary Wang to investigate the qualifications of these companies, and the results were extremely disappointing. He really couldn't imagine what the final outcome would be if these companies were responsible for building the new city district!

  Everyone only saw his glory, including the outgoing Mayor Huang, who would have thought that he is now standing on the edge of a cliff, and with just one misstep, he will be shattered to pieces.

  From the moment he chose this path, he lost the right to choose. Right or wrong, it doesn't matter, just let it be, as long as he can clear his conscience.

  ……

  "Brother, stand up straight and don't move, your feet must be together!" Luo Ye was forcing Luo Feng to practice standing against the wall when Luo Zheng just entered. Luo Feng's face and body were covered in sweat as he begged for mercy: "Ye'er, why do you like bullying brother so much?"

  "Who bullied you, this is to make your figure straight, look at the curvature of your back, do you want to be a pot?" Luo Ye said while helping Luo Zheng wipe his hands with a hot towel: "Dad, wipe your hands!"

  "What's wrong, Dad?" Luo Ye suddenly found that Luo Zheng was a bit absent-minded.

  "No, I'm a bit tired today and not feeling too well!" Luo Zheng just handed the towel back to his daughter, rubbed her little head, and went to sit on the sofa to read the newspaper.

  "Honey, I remembered what I wanted to say this morning. Saturday is Secretary Father's birthday, what should we give him?" Wen Xin had been thinking about it all day and finally remembered when she was taking eggs just now.
