340: Creating so many records

Upon hearing Zhao Rulin's suggestion, Lin Zifeng rejected her without a second thought.

"I've come to the capital to study this time, and I'll be staying for three months. I think working in Yushu City is quite good, so I can only thank Sister Rulin for her kindness."

Hearing that Lin Zifeng would be staying in the capital for three months, Li Yanran felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.

Zhao Rulin said happily, "Zifeng, which unit are you going to study at? And it's for three months? Are you here on secondment?"

"I did hear My father mention at home that the Central Party School is holding a three-month refresher course. The students are all outstanding young Cadres under the age of thirty-five at the section-level or department level from all over the country."

"Zifeng, you're so young, surely you aren't already a Division Level Cadre and a student of this refresher course?"

Li Yanran looked at Lin Zifeng with some disbelief as she spoke.

"Yanran, Sister Rulin, you probably don't know yet! This Comrade Lin Zifeng before us has set many 'youngest' records in our Huanan Province."

"He was once the youngest deputy secretary of the county party committee, the youngest County Head, and the youngest County Party Secretary."

"Currently, he is the County Party Secretary of Yushu City, which is under the jurisdiction of Chunhua City in our Huanan Province. He is also a Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of Chunhua City and the youngest Deputy Department-Level Cadre in our Huanan Province."

Before Lin Zifeng could speak, Wang Ziyan began to spill the details.

Hearing Wang Ziyan's revelation, both women looked at Lin Zifeng with faces full of disbelief. Zhao Rulin subconsciously asked, "Zifeng, how old are you? To have created so many records!"

"Yes, Zifeng, how did you do it?"

Li Yanran also asked.

Both women came from political families, so they were no strangers to officialdom. They knew that to create so many 'youngest' records locally, even with family and networking support, it would be impossible without real talent.

Holding the reins of a county's governance is not something that can be achieved solely through networking and cultivation; that's why they were so shocked.

"I started working early; I'm already twenty-nine this year. There are probably quite a few Deputy Department-Level Cadres like me in the ministries and commissions, right? You don't need to be this surprised!"

Hearing Lin Zifeng say this as if it were a matter of course, the three women couldn't help but think: 'You say it so naturally, as if twenty-nine-year-old Deputy Department-Level Cadres are as common as cabbages.'

This was a goal that many people within the system could never reach in their entire lives!

Seeing the speechless expressions of the three women, Lin Zifeng took the initiative to change the subject.

Now that they knew Lin Zifeng's true identity, both women made up their minds about how they should repay him in the future.

More than an hour later, the four of them walked out of the roast duck restaurant together.

Li Yanran and Zhao Rulin insisted on seeing Lin Zifeng and Wang Ziyan off, and suggested chatting with Wang Ziyan for a while longer. The two did not refuse and got into Zhao Rulin's car once again.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Rulin drove the car to the front of the hotel where they were staying.

The four of them got out of the car and walked toward the hotel together.

After taking the elevator upstairs, Lin Zifeng looked at the three women and said, "You sisters chat! I'm going back to rest first."

The three women nodded. Lin Zifeng took out his room card, walked to his door in a few steps, opened it, and went inside.

Only then did Wang Ziyan open her own door and say with a smile, "Yanran, Sister Rulin, come in!"

Seeing that the two of them indeed had separate rooms, Li Yanran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart as she followed the other two into the room.

The three women sat in the room and began to chat. Li Yanran and Zhao Rulin mainly asked for information about Lin Zifeng; the two wanted to know more about him so they could better repay him later.

However, Wang Ziyan didn't know much about Lin Zifeng either, so the information the two women received was quite limited.

"Ziyan, is Zifeng really twenty-nine? He looks like he's only twenty-five or twenty-six."

Zhao Rulin asked with a look of doubt.

"He probably wouldn't lie about this, because there's simply no need for him to do so."

"Also, as far as I know, Zifeng is already married and has a daughter who is almost two years old."

"Maybe he just looks young!"

Hearing the news from Wang Ziyan, Zhao Rulin gave Li Yanran a pitying look, while Li Yanran felt as if a piece of her heart had gone missing upon hearing that Lin Zifeng was married with a daughter.

Her eyes became somewhat vacant.

Wang Ziyan and Zhao Rulin both understood Li Yanran's thoughts, so they each took one of her hands and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

Only then did Li Yanran snap out of it. Realizing she had lost her composure, she quickly adjusted her mindset and put on a forced smile to hide her embarrassment.

She couldn't help but think that since Zifeng was so outstanding, it was certain he would be pursued by women, and it was perfectly normal for him to be married with a child.

Thinking of some rumors she had heard, Li Yanran's eyes brightened again.

Her spirits restored, Li Yanran said with a smile, "Sister Rulin, it's getting late. Let's head back and let Ziyan rest early. She's been busy all day and must be very tired."

"Anyway, Ziyan will be playing in the capital for a week! We can find time to accompany her again."

Zhao Rulin nodded and stood up, saying, "Ziyan, Yanran and I will head back first. Someday I'll take you to my Beauty Salon for a treatment."

After thanking them, Wang Ziyan saw the two women out of the room. Only after seeing them get into the elevator did she turn back into her room.

On the way home, while driving, Zhao Rulin said, "Yanran, it's a pity. Zifeng is already married, so it seems you won't be able to offer yourself in marriage to repay him."

"It seems our benefactor won't have that stroke of luck."

"Even as a woman, looking at you makes my heart flutter. I was wondering why Zifeng's gaze was so clear, with only admiration and no lust! It turns out he's already married."

"Zifeng is definitely a rare good man!"

"If it were any other man, having saved our lives when you are so breathtakingly beautiful, it would be strange if he didn't have some ideas!"

Zhao Rulin was not only Li Yanran's cousin-in-law but also her best friend with whom she shared everything, so she only spoke these words when it was just the two of them.

"So what if he's married? If he wanted me, I wouldn't mind."

Li Yanran looked ahead, her gaze determined.

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Zhao Rulin said in surprise, "I say, Miss Li, you can't be serious, right?"

"Do you know what you're saying? So many young talents in the capital are pursuing you, and you don't give them a second glance."

"Zifeng is extremely outstanding, a very rare good man."

"I can see it too; you fell for Zifeng at first sight, and he even saved our lives. But the man is already married with a child. Do you really want to be his mistress?"
