148: Chapter 148 How about becoming my secretary?

Early the next morning, Zhao Yang drove to Jiangbin Garden to pick up Jiang Nan.

Seeing Zhao Yang enter, a smile immediately appeared on Lin Xuecen's face.

"Look at you two, you've already registered your marriage, yet you still live apart. How troublesome."

Jiang Nan's face flushed, and she grumbled, "Mom—"

Zhao Yang quickly explained, "This is, after all, the most important event in life. Nannan places a lot of importance on the sense of ceremony, and I can understand that."

Lin Xuecen said, "Nannan, look at Zhao Yang, how considerate and sensible he is. Once you're together in the future, you can't be so headstrong anymore."

Jiang Nan pursed her lips, wanting to retort.

The words "How am I headstrong?" were on the tip of her tongue, but she was stopped by a look from Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Nannan is wonderful. She understands the big picture and has a great sense of justice."

Lin Xuecen looked at Zhao Yang, her eyes crinkling into crow's feet from her smile:

"You'll just spoil her. This girl has a straightforward personality; she's bound to suffer for it sooner or later."

Looking at this son-in-law now, she was more and more satisfied.

Zhao Yang saw that Jiang Nan had applied light makeup and was wearing a black wool coat, which made her look even taller and more elegant.

Clearly, she was already ready.

Zhao Yang gestured to Jiang Nan with a tilt of his head, "Let's go!"

Jiang Nan naturally took Zhao Yang's arm as they walked out, "Mom, we won't be back for lunch."

Arriving at the Provincial Committee Family Quarters, Zhao Yang slowly parked the car and said to the armed police officer on duty:

"Villa No. 2, please announce us. The name is Zhao."

Seeing they had come to this place, Jiang Nan's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Zhao Yang in surprise:

"Zhao Yang, what kind of relatives do you have? Why haven't I heard you mention them?"

Zhao Yang was calculating how to explain it to her later and responded vaguely:

"Mm, you'll know when we get there."

At this time, Sun Zhendong was chatting with Han Zhiyu at home.

"Zhiyu, I've always wanted Little Zhao to be my secretary, but now I feel that secretarial work might actually limit him."

Han Zhiyu poured him a cup of water and asked gently:

"Why do you say that?"

"The previous mixed-ownership reform plan and the current industrial chain investment promotion were both proposed by Little Zhao. He is so capable that I'm really afraid of holding him back."

Sun Zhendong was conflicted and really wanted to hear his wife's opinion.

Han Zhiyu came from a prominent family in the Capital and had been influenced by her family since childhood, possessing extraordinary insight into many issues.

Han Zhiyu smiled, "The more capable one is, the larger the stage they need to perform. Don't you think?"

Sun Zhendong nodded, "I understand."

While they were talking, the doorbell rang.

When the door opened, Sun Hongwei's mother, Han Zhiyu, appeared at the entrance.

Zhao Yang quickly introduced, "Aunt Han, this is my wife, Nannan."

Hearing Zhao Yang introduce her this way for the first time, Jiang Nan's face turned red, and she greeted sweetly:

"Hello, Aunt Han."

Han Zhiyu nodded with a smile and took Jiang Nan's hand:

"Oh, how beautiful. Little Zhao has great taste. Come in quickly, come in!"

After the two changed their shoes, Sun Zhendong had already come out to meet them.

Zhao Yang introduced again: "Uncle Sun, this is Jiang Nan, my wife."

"Hello, Uncle Sun!" Jiang Nan's voice was a bit strained.

At the first sight of Sun Zhendong, Jiang Nan recognized him.

The Governor often appeared on television, and Jiang Nan had seen him many times.

However, the Sun Zhendong in front of her was not as serious as on TV; he had no official air about him and was quite amiable, like an elder of her own family.

But facing such a high-ranking leader for the first time, Jiang Nan was still a bit nervous.

She quietly pinched the soft flesh at Zhao Yang's waist and lowered her voice:

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

At this moment, Sun Zhendong's expression was also quite interesting, filled with both admiration and surprise.

Jiang Nan—this name was so familiar.

He asked somewhat suspiciously: "Jiang Nan? Jiang Nan from the Tongan City Criminal Investigation Detachment?"

Jiang Nan's pupils dilated in shock. How could the Governor know me?

It was just a second-class merit; it shouldn't have been enough to attract the Governor's attention.

Since the Governor asked this way, he clearly didn't know she had already been transferred to the Provincial Corps.

Zhao Yang probably hadn't introduced her beforehand.

She immediately nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, I was previously in the Tongan Criminal Investigation Technical Brigade, and now I've been transferred to the Technical Center of the Provincial Corps."

Upon receiving her affirmative answer, the DNA comparison report with the bright red seal flashed in Sun Zhendong's mind.

Below that seal was precisely Jiang Nan's elegant signature.

Sun Zhendong was a bit excited, but he didn't reveal anything and said repeatedly:

"Good, good. What a fine child."

Everyone sat down around the coffee table. As Han Zhiyu was about to pour tea, Zhao Yang quickly picked up the teapot.

"Auntie, let me do it."

Han Zhiyu looked at his busy figure with a face full of affection.

"Little Zhao, your Uncle Sun is usually busy with work and rarely at home. When you're free, bring Nannan over more often."

Zhao Yang quickly agreed, "As long as Auntie doesn't find it bothersome, I can come every day."

Seeing how familiar Zhao Yang was with Sun Zhendong and his wife, Jiang Nan secretly speculated:

This was definitely not Zhao Yang's first time here.

She wore an appropriate smile, but her thoughts were constantly turning.

"Jiang Nan, what are you mainly doing at the Provincial Corps now?"

Sun Zhendong's voice sounded, interrupting Jiang Nan's thoughts.

"Oh, I'm currently mainly responsible for the construction of the DNA database."

Zhao Yang introduced proudly from the side: "Nannan previously wrote a paper on the construction of the DNA database, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Public Security. She is now the Deputy Director of the Technical Center of the Provincial Corps, specifically in charge of this project's construction."

"Not bad, this is a good thing that lays a foundation for the long term," Sun Zhendong turned to look at Jiang Nan, "Is the project construction going smoothly?"

Jiang Nan didn't like beating around the bush and replied truthfully:

"The project funds allocated by the Central Finance are limited, so we have to budget carefully everywhere."

At this point, Han Zhiyu chimed in:

"Old Sun, the two children finally came over, and look at you, talking about work as soon as we meet."

She saw that Jiang Nan was a bit formal and stood up:

"Nannan, come to the kitchen to help me. Since you two are here today, we'll cook ourselves."

Jiang Nan quickly stood up and made a swift escape.

In the kitchen, Han Zhiyu saw Jiang Nan putting on an apron and rolling up her sleeves with nimble movements, and she liked her even more.

She said with a smile, "You studied forensic medicine, and I'm a pediatrician. Strictly speaking, we're in the same field."

While picking vegetables, Jiang Nan asked:

"Which hospital are you at, Auntie?"

"Provincial Hospital. I'm Han Zhiyu."

"Ah? You're the nationally renowned pediatric expert, Professor Han?"

Han Zhiyu nodded with a smile, "So, in the future, when you have children and they have a headache or fever, you're not allowed to go to anyone else."

The two women found a common topic and talked more and more.

In the living room, Sun Zhendong looked toward the kitchen and sighed softly:

"You and Little Jiang really are two of a kind."

Zhao Yang knew that Sun Zhendong was referring to Jiang Nan providing evidence regardless of the consequences.

He nodded slightly, "That's also what I value most about her."

Sun Zhendong turned his head and looked at Zhao Yang: "What are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Yang knew this was the real reason Sun Zhendong had asked him to come over.

He immediately said, "Do what I can, neither overstepping nor falling short."

"Not bad, your attitude is very upright." Sun Zhendong put down his teacup, "Little Zhao, how about becoming my secretary?"

After speaking, Sun Zhendong looked directly at Zhao Yang, waiting for his answer.
