488: I need to report to the provincial party committee in a week.

Lin Zifeng's arrival was warmly welcomed by Jiang Shiyu and his wife.

Knowing at noon that Lin Zifeng was coming to visit in the evening, Zhang Jiayi simply took the afternoon off.

So when Lin Zifeng walked through the door, Zhang Jiayi had already prepared a table full of food.

Lin Zifeng went to the Bathroom to wash his hands, then sat at the dining table with the couple, and the three began to chat while eating and drinking.

Knowing that Lin Zifeng had been promoted again, Zhang Jiayi was genuinely happy for him and urged him to remember to visit their home whenever he returned to Chunhua City in the future.

Lin Zifeng readily agreed, and just then, Zhang Jiayi's phone rang with a video call.

"I was so busy that I forgot; I had arranged with Yufei yesterday to have a video call tonight."

Zhang Jiayi took out her phone, saw it was a video call from Jiang Yufei, and answered it while talking.

Jiang Yufei's voice immediately rang out, "Mom, haven't you finished dinner yet?"

Zhang Jiayi deliberately panned the camera over the dishes on the table before saying, "Look how sumptuous our dinner is, right?"

"Mom, what day is it today? Why is dinner so sumptuous? It makes me crave it."

"Isn't it simple to want to eat what Mom makes? You could eat it if you came back, right? You crazy girl, you've been gone for so long and still refuse to come back."

Zhang Jiayi took this opportunity to try to persuade Jiang Yufei once again.

"Jiayi, Zifeng is still here! Let's talk about this later!" Jiang Shiyu said.

Zhang Jiayi then said, "Yufei, today isn't any special day; it's your good friend Zifeng who came to visit. Zifeng is having dinner with Your Father and me!"

After saying this, Zhang Jiayi asked for Lin Zifeng's opinion, and seeing that he was willing to appear on camera, she pointed the camera at Lin Zifeng and Jiang Shiyu.

Zhang Jiayi then handed the phone to Lin Zifeng and said, "Zifeng, why don't you chat with Yufei for a bit!"

Lin Zifeng took the phone and looked at Jiang Yufei on the screen. From the background, he knew she had specifically gone to the guest room, which was usually unoccupied, to video call Zhang Jiayi.

He had just video-called Jiang Yufei two days ago; four-month-old Jiang Anle was chubby and fair, with a pair of very beautiful big eyes, and could already roll over to play.

So, looking at Jiang Yufei on the screen, Lin Zifeng waved and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Yufei!"

Jiang Yufei replied very cooperatively, "Hello, Zifeng, thank you for going to keep my parents company."

"I'm here eating the delicious food your mother made on your behalf, and you're thanking me? How can I face you like this!"

Lin Zifeng chatted with Jiang Yufei for less than two minutes before returning the phone to Zhang Jiayi.

"Come on, Zifeng, let's continue drinking; let the mother and daughter chat!"

Jiang Shiyu said, and Lin Zifeng nodded, smiling as he raised his glass.

By the time Lin Zifeng walked out of the Municipal Party Committee Family Compound, it was completely dark. He had arrived at the Municipal Party Committee Family Compound before six o'clock, and now it was only seven-thirty.

After Lin Zifeng got into the car, Li Qiang drove away, heading straight towards Yushu City.

By the time Lin Zifeng returned home, it was not yet ten o'clock. Lin Yining was already asleep, and Chen Yuxi was sitting on the sofa, watching TV with a facial mask on.

Hearing the door open and seeing Lin Zifeng walk in, Chen Yuxi peeled off her mask, stood up, threw it into the trash can, and said, "Honey, you're back? Did you have to host or entertain again today?"

Lin Zifeng changed into his slippers, hung his coat on the rack, walked over to Chen Yuxi, put his arm around her slender waist, and sat on the sofa.

"Secretary Jiang from the Municipal Party Committee summoned me. I went to the City Level in the afternoon. Secretary Jiang, showing concern for her subordinates, invited me to dinner at her home in the evening."

"Didn't I rush back home as soon as I finished dinner?"

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

"Honey, Secretary Jiang from the Municipal Party Committee is really good to you. There aren't many people in Chunhua City who can become Secretary Jiang's honored guests!"

Chen Yuxi said with eyes shining.

"Wife, that's not the most important thing. Today I received a somewhat unexpected appointment; I will soon be transferred away from Chunhua City."

Hearing the news Lin Zifeng announced, Chen Yuxi immediately sat up straight.

"Honey, what did you say? You're going to be transferred soon? Why is it so sudden? Where are you being transferred to?"

Chen Yuxi asked with a look of surprise.

"I was even more surprised than you are now when I first heard the news, but this is the fact."

"The Provincial Party Standing Committee has already passed my new appointment, and the new appointment will be issued in a week."

"This is because Secretary Jiang of the Municipal Party Committee fought for a week for me, allowing me to use this time to complete the finishing touches and handover work."

"I will be transferred to Fengnan City to serve as the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and acting mayor of Fengnan City."

Lin Zifeng did not hide anything at all from his wife.

Hearing Lin Zifeng's answer, Chen Yuxi was happy at first, but then her expression became complicated.

"Honey, it is a joyous and congratulatory event that you can directly qualify for the departmental level and serve as the mayor of a Prefecture-level City."

"But having to leave the place where we've lived for several years so soon inevitably makes one feel a lot of reluctance."

"Fortunately, you weren't transferred to a position in another province. Fengnan City is less than three hundred kilometers away from the provincial capital; it only takes three hours to get to the provincial capital via the Expressway."

"However, Fengnan City is a bit far from our Yushu City—it's over four hundred kilometers away. It will be a long journey to return to Yushu City from Fengnan City in the future."

Hearing what Chen Yuxi said, Lin Zifeng said, "Actually, it's nothing. The distance from Fengnan City back to Yushu City is just the distance from Yushu City to the provincial capital."

"Transportation is developed now, and the Expressways are all interconnected, so it's only a four or five-hour journey."

"There is also good news: the jingnan high-speed railway line, which began construction at the end of last year, will also pass through Fengnan City. In this way, after the jingnan high-speed railway line opens to traffic, returning to Yushu City from Fengnan City will only be a journey of a little over an hour."

Chen Yuxi nodded and said again, "Then I will start preparing tomorrow and get the house packed up."

"I'll resign from my position as the office director, let my assistant take over as the director, and then I'll bring Ningning to Fengnan City to accompany you."

Hearing Chen Yuxi's unhesitating words, Lin Zifeng shook his head with a smile and said, "You don't need to be too hasty about this."

"The political environment in Fengnan City is somewhat complex. After I go there to take up the post, I will need to devote all my energy to work for a period of time."

"Wait until I have gained a firm foothold in Fengnan City and the situation has stabilized, then I will bring you and Ningning over."

The clever Chen Yuxi understood the implication in Lin Zifeng's words, so she said worriedly, "Honey, you won't be in danger, will you?"

"I am a dignified mayor appointed by the Provincial Party Standing Committee. I may encounter difficulties and exclusion, but no one dares to threaten my personal safety."

Lin Zifeng said confidently.

In fact, he wasn't entirely sure, because if someone really gets desperate, anything could happen.

He said this just because he didn't want Chen Yuxi to worry.

Seeing Chen Yuxi nod, half-believing, Lin Zifeng said again, "It's getting late, honey, let's hurry up and take a bath and go to sleep?"

"I've already bathed; you go ahead and take a bath. I'll go back to the Bedroom and wait for you."

The two stood up together, one walking towards the Bathroom and the other towards the Bedroom.
