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

On Friday morning, Chen Luo returned to Jingzhou from Lüzhou.

He spent the morning in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission office processing documents, and his secretary, Liu Mingyu, made him a cup of tea.

"Secretary Chen, please have some tea first."

Liu Mingyu handed the teacup to Chen Luo on the table in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo smiled and nodded, then put down the documents in his hand and calmly asked, "Has there been any special news from Jingzhou these past few days?"

He has been busy dealing with matters related to the Luzhou Industrial Park lately and has really had no energy to pay attention to the situation in Jingzhou.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingyu's eyes lit up.

He chuckled and said, "Secretary Chen, there's nothing major, but there are certainly some interesting things."

"Oh? An interesting story?"

"Secretary Chen, you may not be aware of the situation in Lüzhou, but Yi Xuexi, the vice mayor of Jingzhou and secretary of the Guangming District Party Committee, and his wife, Ms. Mao Ya, divorced a few days ago."

"What's so interesting about getting a divorce?"

"Divorce is nothing special, but Secretary Chen, you may not know this, but the reason for the divorce is that Mao Ya cheated on Yi Xuexi, and that's not all. I heard Mao Ya is pregnant, tsk tsk tsk, and the most crucial thing is that the father of the child is most likely Chen Hai!"

"Huh? It's so messy?"

Chen Luo was indeed shocked.

"Yes, I've seen Mao Ya before. She's around fifty years old. Although she's considered well-maintained for her age, she's still eight years older than Chen Hai. Chen Hai is really hungry."

Chen Luo rolled his eyes, then looked Liu Mingyu up and down.

"Let me tell you, Mingyu, you care so much about Chen Hai's situation. If you ask me, you should learn from Chen Hai."

"Huh? Secretary Chen, you want me to learn from Chen Hai?"

"Of course I want to learn!"

"He managed to get Yi Xuexi's wife pregnant at fifty without anyone noticing. You and Lu Yike have been married for a while now, and the Lu family is waiting to hold their grandson. Shouldn't you learn from Chen Hai and get Lu Yike pregnant sooner?"

"Secretary Chen, I..."

"You? What do you want to say?"

"No, no, Secretary Chen, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"

"Do as you please. I'm just mentioning it. Opportunities are in your own hands. I'm not Commander Lu."

Whether you and Comrade Lu Yike have children or when you have children doesn't really matter to me.

However, I haven't had you come to work in Luzhou during this time, letting you stay in Jingzhou so leisurely. You know what I mean. If you're not in a hurry, you can come to Luzhou with me next Monday to work, so you don't just occupy the position without doing anything..."

Liu Mingyu fell silent. He knew very well that Secretary Chen was telling him these things because he truly considered him one of his own. Who would care if you had children or not if it were someone else? As long as you did your job well, your superiors wouldn't bother asking you these questions.

Within a few days, the story of Chen Hai and Yi Xuexi had spread throughout Jingzhou.

Besides officials and ordinary people who are just watching the drama unfold, others are also concerned about the specifics, such as Wang Dalu.

These past few days, Wang Dalu has been feeling increasingly uneasy. He hadn't used any protection during the several times he was with Mao Ya, and according to the information he found at the hospital, it was basically during the few days he was with Mao Ya.

This child could be Wang Dalu, or it could be Chen Hai's, but it definitely can't be Yi Xuexi's.

As a businessman, Wang Dalu may only be seeking temporary excitement with Mao Ya, but he values ​​his children very much. He only has one daughter and one son, but neither of them are cut out for business. How will his Dalu Group be inherited in the future?

Therefore, Darren Wang is eager to know who the child's father is.

Construction site in an old residential area in Guangming District.

These past few days, Yi has been turning sadness into strength; he's practically living on the construction site to supervise the work, making time to check on things every day.

It just so happens that I ran into Darren Wang at that time.

"The mainland? Where have you been these past few days?"

Yi Xuexi suppressed his embarrassment, after all, his wife's infidelity was too shameful.

"Oh, Secretary Yi, I've been busy with company matters these past few days. I heard you and Mao Ya got divorced?"

Wang Dalu brought up a sore spot, and Yi Xuexi's face immediately fell.

"You found out too? Mao Ya and I have been married for over twenty years! She actually cheated on me like that, and now she wants a divorce just like that. I'm heartbroken!"

Yi Xuexi clenched his fist and pounded his chest in pain, but Wang Dalu didn't care at all.

"By the way, what about Mao Ya? After her divorce from you, she went straight with that... Chen Hai?"

Yi Xuexi didn't respond to that; it would be too embarrassing.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, Wang Dalu simply left and headed to the district government.

At 11:40 a.m., Chen Hai came out of the district government and was about to go home when Wang Dalu stopped him.

"District Chief Chen, wait a minute!"

"Mr. Wang? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Hai remained calm, while Wang Dalu cut to the chase, saying, "District Chief Chen, I think we need to sit down and have a serious talk about Mao Ya's matter."

Half an hour later, in a coffee shop, after listening to Wang Dalu's guess, Chen Hai said disdainfully, "Mr. Wang, you're over fifty years old. Do you think your abilities are stronger or mine?"

That child will only be mine, Mr. Wang, you can forget about it. I will never agree to testing before the child is born.

"Chen Hai! I'm not discussing this with you. This child is very important to me, and I need to know as soon as possible whether it's mine!"

"Wang Dalu! I've made it very clear to you, the child in Mao Ya's belly is mine, not yours!"

Please stop bothering me!

At this moment, neither side was willing to give in.

When Wang Dalu wanted a son, he went to the hospital for testing, and the results showed very low viability and a very small probability. He and his secretary had been trying for over half a year without success. Although there was a high probability that the child in Mao Ya's belly wasn't his, he didn't want to miss even the slightest chance.

"Chen Hai! A test won't harm the child, don't you even understand that?!"

"I don't want to know. You, Wang Dalu, make it sound so easy. Won't you find out after your child is born? Can't you even wait a year?"

These words silenced Wang Dalu.

He's a businessman, and efficiency is his primary pursuit.

"You really disagree?"

Wang Dalu took a deep breath, looked at Chen Hai, and his eyes were full of threat.

"Yes, I disagree!"

I don't mind if this child is yours, why can't you wait until the child is born?

Do you have any humanity left?

"Chen Hai, District Chief Chen! Don't forget, the current old residential area renovation project is being handled by our Dalu Group."

Our group can stop this project at any time. As far as I know, every day it's stopped, your district's finances will suffer a loss. You wouldn't want me to do it this way, would you?

Chen Hai smiled dismissively.

"Wang Dalu, you dare to threaten our district committee and government? You've got some nerve!"
