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

Lu Yike remained silent.

"Alright, alright, there are plenty of good men in the world, you brat, stop fixating on Chen Hai."

Tomorrow is Saturday, and your dad and I are planning to invite Secretary Chen and his family over for a visit. You know some things; without Secretary Chen's recommendation, you wouldn't be in your current position.

It just so happens that Secretary Chen is a graduate of Peking University and holds a high position. Your father and I will ask Secretary Chen if he has any suitable young talents to recommend.

"You can trust Secretary Chen's judgment, right?"

Lu Yike bit her lip, clearly indicating her approval.

"It's a pity that Secretary Chen got married at only 38."

As her mother's words became increasingly absurd, Lu Yike broke her silence and quickly interrupted.

"Mom! Secretary Chen's child is already ten years old."

"So you mean you'd actually be willing to do this if we weren't married?"

Judge Wu's joking remarks made Lu Yike completely withdrawn.

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

The next morning, Saturday.

Chen Luo wasn't at work. The Political and Legal Affairs Commission wasn't busy, and there was plenty of time to deal with things on Monday through Friday.

It was the weekend again, and Chen Luo, as usual, planned to take his two little ones and their mother out for a stroll.

Just after finishing tidying up and having breakfast, Chen Luo received a call from Lu Zheng'an. After thinking about it, Chen Luo agreed to Lu Zheng'an's invitation for his family to come over in the afternoon.

However, the location was neither in the military compound nor the provincial party committee compound, but in the house that Lu Yike bought, in an ordinary neighborhood, which was very low-key!

After all, it wouldn't be good for the political and legal affairs secretary to visit the home of the top military commander of a province.

After making the arrangements, Chen Luo personally drove his family out of the provincial party committee compound, their destination being the largest amusement park in Jingzhou, located in Guangming District.

This amusement park covers a large area, and the parking lot is also very well planned, neither crowded nor poorly managed.

As soon as they got out of the car, Chen Zhengxi grabbed Chen Luo's hand and couldn't wait to go into the park. After entering the park, the family first experienced the carousel. Chen Luo held Chen Zhengshu, and Zhang Nian held Chen Zhengxi. The four of them played for almost ten minutes.

After that, it's time for the next ride, a crazy roller coaster.

Two hours later, Chen Luo and Zhang Nian were sweating profusely, but the two little ones were still very energetic.

"Dad, Mom, my brother and I want to ride the pirate ship again!"

Chen Luo and Zhang Nian exchanged a helpless smile; the couple genuinely felt quite tired.

But it's important not to spoil the fun!

"Okay, Mom and Dad will play with you!"

After experiencing another attraction, Chen Luo and his family were about to have a meal at the amusement park when they saw a familiar figure approaching from ahead.

"Secretary Chen!"

The visitor was Sun Liancheng, and there were also some cadres from Guangming District accompanying him on the inspection.

Yes, Sun Liancheng came to inspect the work at this amusement park. After all, the district head is busy even on Saturdays.

As for running into Chen Luo, Sun Liancheng himself hadn't expected it, and he couldn't hide his excitement and joy.

Seeing Sun Liancheng jogging up, Chen Luo smiled faintly, then extended his hand and said, "It's Comrade Liancheng!"

Upon seeing this, Sun Liancheng quickly clenched his fists, but he was still mindful of his actions and released them after only a few seconds.

"Secretary Chen, I never expected to run into you here!"

Chen Luo shook his head and said, "It's the weekend, so my wife and I brought the two little ones here to have some fun. This amusement park is pretty good, and the prices are reasonable."

Sun Liancheng echoed.

"Secretary Chen, your praise gives me a clear direction for my inspection."

Hearing Sun Liancheng say this, Chen Luo suddenly had some thoughts. Sun Liancheng, the district head of Guangming District, was very serious and responsible in his work. In addition, he was principled and a real workhorse. If he could really take on the role of secretary of Luzhou Municipal Party Committee after the New Year, could he also make use of Sun Liancheng, this chosen worker?

Thinking of Yi Xuexi, the current acting mayor of Lüzhou, a stubborn and inflexible old man, Chen Luo admitted that he was tempted.

"Comrade Liancheng, you've done a very good job. If you had the opportunity to work in a local area, would you be willing?"

Chen Luo spoke calmly, but Sun Liancheng was inwardly in turmoil. Did this mean that Secretary Chen had taken a liking to him?

Although he didn't know where the so-called place was or whether it was a promotion, Sun Liancheng immediately expressed his opinion.

"Secretary Chen, as long as you ask, no matter where it is, I, Sun Liancheng, am willing!"

It's important to follow the right person; Sun Liancheng just wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo didn't speak first. Instead, he patted Sun Liancheng on the shoulder before saying, "If you're willing, that's fine. It's not certain yet, but you can first study the development direction and future plans of Luzhou City."

"Alright, that's enough for now. You continue your work investigation; our family needs to fill our stomachs first!"

It wasn't until Chen Luo and his family of four left that Sun Liancheng, his face flushed, finally realized what had happened.

"Lüzhou City?"

Muttering to himself, Sun Liancheng just wanted to finish the investigation as soon as possible and go home to start his research. He was only fifty years old and had originally planned to retire and do nothing. But now the situation was different. The short conversation was like a shot of adrenaline!

He was brimming with power!

After a quick lunch at the amusement park, Chen Luo and his family went shopping at a large shopping mall in Jingzhou City. The two little ones did most of the shopping, continuing until about 3:30 PM before heading to the address sent by Lu Zheng'an.

At 4:10 p.m., Chen Luo and his family arrived at the residential complex, which is called Jiangnan Jiadi. It is a mid-range residential complex in Jingzhou, but its location is very good, only about 800 meters away from the Provincial Procuratorate.

Lu Yike originally bought it to make commuting easier.

As soon as he parked the car, Chen Luo saw Judge Wu and Lu Yike standing not far away, waiting.

The family of four quickly got out of the car, and Lu Yike, with her good eyesight, was the first to spot Chen Luo and the others.

He walked quickly toward them, until he was about ten meters away.

"Secretary Chen, you've arrived!"

Lu Yike smiled, then looked at Zhang Nian and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang!"

It wasn't surprising that Lu Yike addressed him as Zhang Nian; with a little effort, it would be easy to find out his background.

"Oh my, Secretary Chen and Ms. Zhang are such a perfect match! And those two little ones are so adorable!"

Judge Wu was noticeably more relaxed than Lu Yike. Her gaze remained fixed on the siblings Chen Zhengxi and Chen Zhengshu. One was composed and refined, the other playful and adorable. Judge Wu grew to like them more and more, wishing she could have one of them right now.

"Zhengshu, Zhengxi, say hello to Grandma Wu."

As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, Chen Zhengshu and Chen Zhengxi, the siblings, greeted her sweetly, "Hello, Grandma Wu!"

"Oh! You two little ones are great too!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the group entered the residential complex and took the elevator.
