In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

It happened to be the weekend.

Chen Luo didn't have any work scheduled today. In the morning, he spent half the day with his two little ones, Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi, just like any other father.

4:30 PM.

Chen Luo was tidying up his clothes at his home in Building No. 8 of the Provincial Party Committee. He was no longer wearing his usual administrative jacket for work, but rather more casual clothes.

"To be honest, honey, you look a lot younger in this outfit than you usually wear to work."

While making her comments, Zhang Nian also straightened Chen Luo's collar from behind.

"I'm here to visit my senior from high school, so I can't just walk into her house in my work clothes, can I?"

Chen Luo smiled faintly, finally satisfied.

Yes, Chen Luo had been the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Handong for more than a month, and he was planning to visit Minister Yang of the Propaganda Department, who was also a graduate of Peking University.

As for why they're only going now... well, there's an explanation for that.

If Chen Luo had rushed to visit Minister Yang, who was also a graduate of Peking University, as soon as he arrived in Handong, it would have been seen that Chen Luo didn't care about assigned work and that only Peking University graduates formed cliques.

Now that the Political and Legal Affairs Commission's work is progressing smoothly, who can hold a grudge if we go there now?

Minister Yang of the Publicity Department is in Building No. 10 of the Provincial Party Committee compound.

Although they live close by, everyone is usually busy with work, so Chen Luo has very few opportunities to meet this senior from his school.

After getting ready, Chen Luo and Zhang Nian each took a little one and walked out of the room, heading towards Minister Yang's house.

When Chen Luo and his family of four were still dozens of meters away from Minister Yang's house, they could see several people waiting at the door of Minister Yang's house.

Chen Luo had already instructed his secretary to contact Minister Yang beforehand, and it wasn't until he got closer that Chen Luo could see clearly who the people waiting for them were.

At the very front is Minister Yang, followed by Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin from the Procuratorate, and then there's Lin Huahua, whom Chen Luo met when he inspected the Procuratorate!

Chen Luo was not surprised by the appearance of Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin and Lin Huahua.

Some relationships can be found out with just a little research.

Lin Huahua is the niece of Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin, while Minister Yang is Lin Huahua's aunt.

"Senior, that's quite formal!"

As Chen Luo approached, he greeted him first, and Minister Yang responded with a smile, "Since such a talented scholar from Peking University has come to visit, I must be a little more formal!"

"Secretary Chen!"

At this moment, both Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin and Lin Huahua bowed to Chen Luo, who smiled and nodded in response.

Then Chen Luo looked at Zhang Nian and introduced her: "Wife, this is Senior Yang."

Zhang Nian was very poised and elegant, and greeted Minister Yang with a smile, "Hello, Senior Yang!"

"Hahaha, I've heard that you two are a perfect couple and your relationship is great. Now it seems that's no exaggeration. Come on in, please."

As he spoke, Minister Yang took Zhang Nian's arm and led the group into the living room.

......................................................

After entering the house, the two little ones, Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi, were very well-behaved, especially Chen Zhengxi, who was usually a little devil at home, but now... he sat very obediently next to Lin Huahua, calling her "Sister Huahua" repeatedly. Lin Huahua felt a surge of maternal love.

"Hua Hua, stop teasing the two little ones and quickly pour tea for Secretary Chen and his wife."

After being instructed by her aunt, Lin Huahua immediately got up and went to do her work.

"Junior, it's a good thing you told me in advance, otherwise I wouldn't have had time to find two helpers."

Chen Luo smiled faintly as he looked at Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin, who was busy in the kitchen, and Lin Huahua, who was making tea.

"You're too kind, senior. Your husband is busy with research, and you're usually alone, so I understand."

As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, Minister Yang continued, "Who says otherwise? Your brother-in-law rarely comes back even once a month, and my Qianqian is studying in Beijing. Usually, it's Huahua who comes to keep me company."

But things will be better from now on. My junior came to Handong with his wife and two little ones, so we should keep in touch more often.

Some things are just unspoken understandings.

For example, if Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin and Lin Huahua really need a helping hand, can't their secretary help them?

Soon, Lin Guoping, who had been busy in the kitchen for a while, brought all the dishes to the table.

After everyone was seated, Minister Yang began his comments.

"Hmm! Guoping's cooking skills are still excellent!"

Juniors, sisters-in-law, have a taste!

Chen Luo smiled and picked it up to taste. To be honest, it was no worse than what those restaurant chefs made, and even better than the food made by Chen Luo's mother-in-law!

"Yes, it's really good. I didn't expect that Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lin not only does a good job in his daily work, but also has a unique style when it comes to cooking!"

Upon hearing Chen Luo's comments, Lin Guoping felt his blood boil.

"To receive such praise from Secretary Chen, I'd be happy to do it every day!"

"Pfft!"

Chen Zhengxi, who was eating rice, couldn't help but laugh when he heard Lin Guoping's words.

Chen Luo and Zhang Nian both glared at the little girl.

Of course, this was just a minor incident.

After dinner, Chen Luo and Minister Yang chatted about work in the study. Only the two of them knew what they talked about.

At 8:30 p.m., Chen Luo and his family said goodbye and returned home.

After seeing Chen Luo's family off, at Minister Yang's home, Lin Huahua immediately took her aunt's arm.

"Auntie, I never expected that our Secretary Chen's wife is actually General Manager Zhang of Dongsheng Investment. He's a big shot in the financial investment circle!"

And Secretary Chen's two children, wow, they're just so adorable!

Hearing Lin Huahua say this, Minister Yang chuckled and said, "Huahua, since you think children are adorable, why don't you hurry up and find a partner and have one yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huahua shook her head vigorously, like a rattle drum.

"Huh?...Let's wait a bit..."

"Wait?" Minister Yang frowned.

"You're already 28, what are you waiting for?"

You don't want to end up like Lu Yike from your workplace, do you? Hua Hua, let me tell you, family harmony is very important in organizational assessments!

Take your boss, Lu Yike, for example. She is 36 years old now. According to the organization's promotion procedures, she could be promoted to a deputy director-level position. However, because Lu Yike has been unmarried, this matter has been delayed for a year.

Now her mother is trying to set her up with potential partners everywhere. Do you really think she's not anxious about it?

"Really?"

Lin Huahua was a little curious, and at that moment Lin Guoping, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, happened to hear these words and casually replied, "That's not all. Chen Hai was suspended from his post, and Lü Liang took over as director, so the position of deputy director was vacated."

Yesterday, Lu Yike's mother even went to see Chief Prosecutor Ji. Hua Hua, guess who will get this deputy bureau chief position?

Lin Huahua fell silent upon hearing this.
