341: It's a pity he's married.

Seeing Zhao Rulin looking at her in disbelief, Li Yanran quickly reminded her to focus on driving before continuing, "So what of it?

Don't forget, Zifeng is our savior. If it weren't for Zifeng's righteous intervention two years ago, we would have been dead long ago.

He saved my life, so I'm willing to do anything for him. Besides, I like him. What does it matter if I become his mistress?

Furthermore, in today's society, are men with many women on the side rare?

Setting aside those wealthy businessmen and second-generation heirs, you and I both know that for many men with status, their women can't even be counted in the single digits."

Hearing Li Yanran's words, Zhao Rulin shook her head helplessly and said, "You are completely beyond help," before speaking again. "Yanran, if you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you anymore.

Zifeng's looks and temperament are a great match for yours; it's just a pity he's married.

However, you must think this through. Zifeng is in the system and is a Deputy Department-Level Cadre. He is so young that he will surely have a boundless future.

If an extramarital affair is ever exposed, it will affect his future."

"Sister Rulin, I understand that. I will handle things with discretion.

Besides, it depends on our future interactions and how things develop. If his heart remains as still as water toward me, I can't exactly force myself on him, can I?

I won't cause him any psychological burden or pressure."

Li Yanran said very rationally.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that. After we get back, let's tell the family the good news about finding Zifeng!

Don't they all want to find an opportunity to properly repay him?"

Zhao Rulin suggested with a smile.

"Telling them is a must, but if we and our families want to repay Zifeng, it must be done in secret.

Based on our interaction just now, if we were to repay him openly, Zifeng wouldn't accept it, and it would also cause him a psychological burden."

Li Yanran said thoughtfully.

Zhao Rulin nodded in agreement and said, "You have a point. We'll do as you say."

After Lin Zifeng returned to his room, he took a shower and went to bed.

He slept until dawn. After getting up, he changed into a tasteful and appropriate suit and groomed himself well. Just as he was about to go for breakfast, there was a knock at the door.

Lin Zifeng walked to the door in a few steps and opened it to see Wang Ziyan standing gracefully at the entrance.

"Good morning, Zifeng. Let's go have breakfast together!"

"Good morning, Ziyan. I was just about to go and call you for breakfast! You beat me to it. Let's go!"

Lin Zifeng closed the door as he spoke and walked toward the elevator with Wang Ziyan.

The two of them arrived at the restaurant and sat across from each other to eat breakfast.

"Zifeng, you'll be checking out in a bit and living at the Party School from now on, right?"

Wang Ziyan said casually while eating.

Lin Zifeng nodded and asked, "Will you be staying here for the rest of your time?"

"Yes, the environment here is quite good. I'll stay here until I leave.

If you can leave the Party School during the weekend breaks, call me, and we can visit other scenic areas together."

Wang Ziyan said with a look of anticipation.

Lin Zifeng smiled and agreed.

The two of them quickly finished breakfast. After going upstairs together, Lin Zifeng packed his things and headed out again with his suitcase.

They went downstairs together and shook hands to say goodbye at the entrance. Each hailed a taxi and left in different directions.

When Lin Zifeng arrived at the main gate of the Central Party School, it wasn't even nine o'clock yet. However, there were already some people like him, dragging suitcases, showing their work IDs and letters of introduction at the gate. After the guards checked and registered them, they entered the Party School.

Lin Zifeng strode over. "Hello," he greeted the guard while taking out his letter of introduction and work ID, handing them over politely.

The guard replied with a hello, took the work ID and letter of introduction, checked them, and after completing the registration, handed them back while saying, "Please go in. Follow the signs to find the registration office."

After thanking him, Lin Zifeng dragged his suitcase into the main gate of the Party School.

Lin Zifeng reported to the registration office and then went to settle into a single dormitory, which we won't dwell on for now.

At this time, in the large Living Room of the Li family, besides Li Yanran and Zhao Rulin sitting on the sofa, Li Dongliang and Yang Zhongqiang were also sitting beside them. There were also the parents of both sides: the couple Li Chenghe and Yu Meili, and the couple Yang Leshan and Li Shuhua.

The two families were listening intently to Li Yanran and Zhao Rulin's narration.

The two of them took turns recounting the details of their chance encounter with Lin Zifeng yesterday.

Finally, Zhao Rulin added, "Uncle, Aunt, Mom, Dad, this savior of ours is quite something!

At only twenty-nine years old, he is already a Member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee of a Prefecture-level City and the County Party Secretary of a County-level city.

He set records in Huanan Province as the youngest deputy secretary of the county party committee, County Head, and County Party Secretary.

Furthermore, he led the local Cadres and masses to successfully complete the County-to-city conversion. He is now the youngest Deputy Department-Level Cadre in Huanan Province.

This time he came to the capital to participate in a three-month training course at the Central Party School.

It's not surprising that such an outstanding Cadre would do a favor without seeking a reward.

He told Yanran and me that it was just a small effort back then and told us not to take it to heart. He said that treating him to dinner yesterday was enough to express our gratitude.

He doesn't want us to treat him as a savior; he feels uncomfortable and thinks it's unnecessary.

Yanran and I were afraid of putting pressure on him, so we didn't notify you immediately last night."

"He may not seek a reward, but we cannot just let it go!

He saved the lives of the four of you; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's like a second parent to you. He also saved our two families. For such a great favor, we must not only remember it for life but also do our utmost to repay him.

From the deeds you just described, it's clear he is an extremely outstanding young Cadre.

In the future, whether in his official career or in economic matters, we must do everything in our power to help him. Only then can we repay even a fraction of his kindness."

Li Chenghe said with total sincerity.

Hearing the opinion voiced by Li Chenghe, everyone nodded in agreement. Yang Leshan spoke up, "Big Brother's thoughts align with mine.

As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a bursting spring. He saved the lives of our two families; no amount of repayment would be too much."
