280: How does it feel to sit on the throne of the county party secretary?

As someone who had been through it all, Li Jing was terrified that her pair of daughters would one day turn against each other because of Lin Zifeng.

Now that Chen Yuxi had spoken so bluntly, she knew she could rest easy, but she spoke up again: "Yuqing, you must remember that Yuxi is your younger sister."

"No matter what happens, you have a responsibility to take care of her and not let her be wronged."

"Mom, please rest assured! I will definitely follow your words." Chen Yuqing quickly gave her assurance.

Just then, the door to the Bedroom was opened again. Lin Zifeng walked out of the Bedroom, saw that Li Jing had arrived, greeted her quickly, and then sat down beside Chen Yuxi, reaching out to take the child into his arms.

While rocking and teasing the Little fellow, he said: "Daughter, hurry and call me Daddy, call me Daddy."

The mother and her two daughters watched Lin Zifeng's antics and felt amused. Chen Yuxi quickly said: "Hubby, aren't you too impatient? Our daughter is only three months old; how could she call out to people at such a young age?"

Just then, Chen Haotian put down his toys and ran over. Looking at the Little fellow in Lin Zifeng's arms, he smiled and said: "Little sister, give your big brother a smile."

The Little fellow in the swaddling clothes seemed to understand Chen Haotian's words. With a pair of clear, bright, black-and-white eyes looking at Chen Haotian, she actually began to giggle.

"When your brother tells you to smile, you smile, but when I tell you to call me Daddy, why don't you? Does Ningning not like Daddy?" Lin Zifeng said, looking jealous.

"You really are something; you're an adult, yet you're jealous of Haotian?"

"Although Ningning is still young, she can already recognize people. Haotian spends every day with Ningning, and you haven't seen your daughter in how many days? It's normal for her to be a bit distant with you."

"When we all return to Yushu County later, you can just spend more time with your daughter." As Chen Yuxi spoke, she reached out and took the child from Lin Zifeng's arms.

Li Jing and Chen Yuqing were amused. Chen Yuqing couldn't help but think that the two children were biological siblings, and the scene of them together with Zifeng was just too beautiful. She hoped such scenes would happen often in the future.

"Zifeng, go wash up and change your clothes. Don't you have a social engagement tonight?"

"If you want to ask people for help, you have to arrive early." Chen Yuxi spoke again.

Li Jing stepped forward, reaching out her hands, and said: "Yuxi, you go prepare clothes for Zifeng and give the child to me!"

Chen Yuxi agreed, handed the child to Li Jing, and walked with Lin Zifeng toward the Bedroom.

After Lin Zifeng washed up until he was clean, Chen Yuxi had already prepared his clothes. Dressed neatly, he bid farewell to everyone and opened the door to leave.

Lin Zifeng walked to the outside of the Residential Community. As expected, Li Qiang and Wang Zhongyu were already waiting by the roadside in the car.

Seeing him walk out of the Residential Community, Wang Zhongyu quickly got out of the car and opened the back door. After Lin Zifeng got in, Li Qiang drove toward the hotel that Wang Zhongyu had booked in advance.

Lin Zifeng arrived at the hotel first. He went to the Private Room to check the environment and was satisfied, so he let Wang Zhongyu go arrange the food and drinks. He went alone to the hotel lobby and sat in the rest area, waiting for the arrival of Li Yuhang and the others.

Time was approaching six o'clock, and Li Yuhang's figure appeared in the lobby. Lin Zifeng quickly stood up to greet him, and Li Yuhang also spotted him.

The two walked toward each other. When they were two or three meters apart, they both reached out their hands, and their large hands clasped tightly together.

"Zifeng, it's been many days, and you still look as dashing as ever! How does it feel to sit on the throne of the County Party Secretary?" Li Yuhang spoke first.

"Yuhang, I won't hide it from you! I am currently pulling my hair out! Otherwise, I wouldn't be asking for your help, Director Li."

"If you want to develop the local city construction, you need money everywhere! It's not as carefree as you, Director Li!" Lin Zifeng said quickly.

"I have to say, Zifeng, saying things like that is a bit of a humblebrag. How many people want such an opportunity but can't get it! Don't complain in front of me, or I'll assume you're intentionally showing off in front of me." Li Yuhang said with a laugh.

"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore. Yuhang, let's go sit over there! We can sit and chat while we wait for the other guests." Lin Zifeng pointed to the sofa not far away.

"What's the point of chatting in the lobby? Didn't you book a Private Room? Let's go to the Private Room to chat." Li Yuhang shook his head and said.

"Yuhang, we are asking others for favors; shouldn't we wait here to welcome the guests?" Lin Zifeng asked tentatively.

"No need for that. They are all good friends. Doing that would seem too pretentious; there is absolutely no need."

In fact, Li Yuhang was not telling the truth, because the real reason was that these people were not qualified to make him do that.

Hearing what Li Yuhang said, Lin Zifeng understood that Li Yuhang's connections were as powerful as he had guessed. Those friends in key departments that he spoke of were in a small circle, and Li Yuhang was at the core.

He was even more confident about the matter he was seeking help for today. So, Lin Zifeng nodded with a smile and led Li Yuhang toward the Private Room.

The waiter brought a pot of good tea, and the two began to chat while drinking tea.

Lin Zifeng explained the matter of several projects being launched simultaneously to Li Yuhang in detail. When asking for help, you must tell them all the content; anyway, this wasn't a secret.

Hearing Lin Zifeng's explanation, Li Yuhang nodded and said: "You Yushu County really have big ambitions! A one-time investment of 11 billion in funds; 99% of the Districts and Counties in the province would find it hard to do."

"And your Yushu County treasury actually self-funded 7.8 billion. It seems Yushu County has been overflowing with wealth these past few years! I can only say, your Yushu County is awesome!"

"Awesome, what's awesome about it, Yuhang? Doesn't this mean we've returned to pre-liberation times overnight? If things go wrong, we might even have to shoulder bank loans." Lin Zifeng shook his head and said.

"Rest assured, Zifeng. Although the people I invited today are not of high rank—they are all Division Level Cadres—they are all in key positions and have a say in the funds of their respective units."

"I will make them bleed a little; I won't let you return empty-handed." Li Yuhang quickly assured him.

After Lin Zifeng thanked him again, the two finalized the matter and began to chat about their past while studying at the Party School.

"Zifeng, last month Zhang Zimo came to the provincial capital to handle some business, and we met. That night, I wanted to drink him under the table, but in the end, I almost vomited from drinking myself."

"Since that guy Old Zhang took office as the Executive Deputy County Mayor, his alcohol tolerance has been skyrocketing! I'm no longer his match. After this guy returned to Yuquan City, he even called to mock me! When I find an opportunity, I will definitely get my revenge."

Hearing these words about Zhang Zimo, he was reminded of the scene a month and a half ago when Zhang Zimo brought his wife and child to visit the Yingjianzui Scenic Area in Yushu County.

At that time, he had specifically set aside a day to accompany the family of three, and on the dinner table that night, Lin Zifeng had made Zhang Zimo surrender with both hands raised.
