Liu Zhizhong immediately said, "Secretary Ma, it's not your turn to invite me, I should be the one inviting you! How about this..."
Ma Xudong raised his hand and stopped Liu Zhizhong mid-sentence, every gesture he made carried the authority of a superior.
"Zhizhong, why mention these things? By all rules and reason, you have helped me so much, I should be the one inviting you, so don't haggle with me!"
Listening to these sincere words, Liu Zhizhong genuinely felt a bit ashamed.
Having slept with someone else's woman, and about to sleep with someone else's lover, yet they still had to invite him for a meal, this was just... too much for his decent heart to handle!
It was just this morning that Luo Yanling's transfer application had been officially approved by Ma Xudong. However, she was still on annual leave and hadn't returned to the City Committee Courtyard, so the organizational personnel arrangements were still under consideration.
