This trust had grown so immense, what could Liu Zhizhong say?

He stared at Ma Xudong, somewhat incredulous.

But Ma Xudong's eyes were blurred with tears, looking at him earnestly, even as if pleading.

Sigh, the former Mayor, once so distinguished, had come to this pass, showing such a demeanor to his own secretary, enough to stir deep emotions in Liu Zhizhong's heart.

Ma Xudong gave a bitter smile, "I know this is difficult for you. Because Qingqing is still in college, her expenses are rather high, and with your financial ability, it's hard for you to bear. Moreover, you have your own family, which isn't very convenient."

"But Zhizhong, your uncle-in-law is powerless and can only turn to you. You are honest and kind-hearted, loyal and brave, wise and resourceful, worthy of trust."
