79: Secretary Sha was promoted and personally invited

The comment section was flooded with netizens who had seen the news and flocked there upon hearing the name.

"Holy crap, a 10,000 yuan bonus per person, and it's monthly? That's even more amazing than Pang Xilai!"

"Which company is that? Are they hiring now?"

"How can we make our boss see this news? Urgent, waiting online!"

"Look at this—this is what you call a heavenly company belonging to someone else! I'm crying myself faint in the company restroom!"

Countless netizens followed the post and commented.

Expressing all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

A company like this is truly a breath of fresh air; the boss must have the heart of a Bodhisattva.

Soon, someone confirmed the details.

"This company is called Papa Loan. The name is strange, but it really is a great company!"

"The company's asset size is already 5 billion yuan, and its performance is excellent."

"Wait, isn't their boss the one who drives the lamborghini?"

"Case solved! So that's how it is. A boss like that deserves to drive a lamborghini!"

It turns out the online world is so small.

After going around in a circle, it actually formed a closed loop.

In an instant, Zhang Yu became popular online again.

Topics concerning working people resonate most strongly with everyone.

Soon, the story directly topped the trending searches on several platforms.

The "Explosive" tag next to it was glowing a deep purple-red.

And the cost was merely 3 million yuan.

Normally, topping the charts on several major platforms simultaneously wouldn't be possible with just this amount of money.

"Look! Zhang Yu is trending again."

At Kuncheng Airport at this time.

Three Flight Attendants were eating in the airport cafeteria.

They saw the news about Zhang Yu pop up on their phones again.

They didn't even need to search deliberately; it was the first item that appeared when they opened the app.

"Yuyao, you used the word 'again' perfectly." Lu Hanxiao smiled at her.

They were already used to him trending so many times.

It was as if he was born with an innate Trending Holy Physique, with countless cameras aimed at him.

His aura was boundless.

If they wanted to stand steadily beside him without embarrassing themselves,

they needed to be even more outstanding.

Lu Hanxiao suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

"When we get back, let's start practicing yoga again, and spend two more hours at the gym every day."

"Ah, Sister Xiao, are you planning to exercise?" Pan Yuyao asked.

"Yes, I think so too. Plus, we can't stay up late anymore; it's bad for the skin." Di Xiaoba also said.

"You two are talking about things I don't understand again," Pan Yuyao said. "I'm going back to sleep first."

"Oh, right."

Lu Hanxiao suddenly remembered something, "Ask Xiong Tingting if she wants us to bring back any local specialties to share."

"Sister Xiao, you really care about Tingting," Pan Yuyao said, looking at her.

"She's a former colleague, after all, and she's been staying with us these past few days."

Lu Hanxiao naturally wouldn't neglect proper etiquette.

"Okay, I'll ask her then."

Pan Yuyao quickly made the call.

Time passed minute by minute.

At Kuncheng Airport, the plane was preparing for takeoff.

As for Zhang Yu, after leaving the finance company,

he got into his car.

Suddenly, a message popped up on his phone.

"Sha Ruikang has been elected as the top leader of Jiangcheng City for the latest term."

Holy crap.

That's pretty impressive.

It seems he didn't bet on the wrong person.

He and Liang Yan were the direct competitors in this race.

It was essentially a choice between the two.

After that incident last time, Liang Yan was clearly hit hard and had become much more reserved.

Sha Ruikang, on the other hand, gained many points because the super project, the Rice Research Base, was successfully established.

It could be said that both of their fates had been dramatically changed because of him.

Then,

he received a call. Looking at the caller ID, it was indeed Sha Ruikang: "Mr. Zhang, are you free right now?"

"I'm heading home. Secretary Sha, please speak."

"Mr. Zhang, I'd like to invite you out for a meal today. Please, Mr. Zhang, you must honor me with your presence!"

"Since it is Secretary Sha's invitation, I respectfully accept."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for honoring me. Should I send someone to pick you up?"

"No need. Just send me the address."

Then, Sha Ruikang sent an address.

"Jiangcheng Cadre Family Residence."

This was a residential area where many high-ranking officials in Jiangcheng lived.

Zhang Yu immediately realized that Sha Ruikang was inviting him to his home as a guest.

People in high positions had long grown tired of various hotels.

An invitation to a private residence like this meant they could speak freely without needing to be overly cautious.

That was the true sign of being treated as one of their own.

Since Sha Ruikang had extended such an invitation,

it seemed he truly regarded Zhang Yu as the most important guest.

Without overthinking it,

Zhang Yu drove to the residence complex.

The guard in the security booth at the entrance was about to step forward and inquire,

but upon seeing Zhang Yu's face, he quickly bent over and signaled, "Mr. Zhang, please come in."

"You recognize me?"

Zhang Yu asked curiously.

"Secretary Sha gave specific instructions: let you pass directly upon seeing you!"

Zhang Yu thanked him.

and drove into the residential area.

This feeling of being respected was truly exhilarating.

He hadn't expected that, seemingly without doing anything,

he had so quickly touched the highest ceiling of Jiangcheng?

Of the four major areas—military, government, business, and gray areas—he had already secured two.

This progress was indeed a bit fast.

Before long,

Zhang Yu stopped in front of an apartment building.

After getting out of the car, he noticed many silver-haired elderly people in the community, gathered in groups of three or five, chatting, talking, and playing chess.

Their lives were rich and colorful.

Although they looked ordinary,

any one of them would possess a terrifying title, and their former subordinates and protégés likely spanned various levels of government agencies in Jiangcheng and even Jingchu Province.

The apartment building only had six floors.

It didn't even have an elevator; it was a walk-up building.

It was truly high-class, and truly low-key.

Didn't this give off the feeling of great reclusion hidden within the world?

After a few moments of reflection, Zhang Yu followed the address and knocked on a door.

"Aiya, Mr. Zhang is here! Come in, please come in quickly!"

Sha Ruikang personally opened the door and greeted Zhang Yu warmly upon seeing him.

In the kitchen, two middle-aged women were cooking, one acting as the main chef and the other assisting.

There were vegetables all over the cutting board.

They also greeted Zhang Yu warmly when they saw him.

"Sasha, quickly pour Mr. Zhang some tea!" Sha Ruikang called out.

"The teacups and tea leaves are right there. Wouldn't it be more sincere if you poured it yourself?"

A voice came from inside the room.

"You..." Sha Ruikang was helpless against his daughter. No matter how high his status was outside, he was still controlled at home.

This was exactly why important figures rarely invited people to their homes—it was easy to expose weaknesses.

But in front of Zhang Yu, it didn't matter.

"Secretary Sha is truly both gentle and firm; you have a nice family atmosphere."

Zhang Yu chuckled.

"I apologize for the display, Mr. Zhang. Please take a seat, I'll go pour you some tea."

"Secretary Sha, is anyone else coming today?"

Zhang Yu was curious when he saw the kitchen full of dishes, and looking at the dining table, he saw eight sets of bowls and chopsticks laid out.
