Bai Ling is over 30 years old, how could she not know? She was just making up an excuse.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling a deep sense of exhaustion.

He was indifferent to everything in the world, had no interest in anything, and felt utterly bored.

Bai Ling retorted angrily:

"You didn't even tell me beforehand."

He Yuzhu, having caught his breath, hugged Bai Ling, covered her with a quilt, and laughed:

"Good sister, it's your brother's turn to help you."

"No way," Bai Ling said, blushing.

"That's not up to you."

He Yuzhu leaned down and half-pressed onto Bai Ling, lowered his head and kissed her, one of his large hands moving downwards...

"You dead man, what am I supposed to do now?"

He Yuzhu chuckled, kissed him on the forehead, and said, "You rest for a bit, I'll go make you breakfast."

Bai Ling nodded shyly, knowing she needed to replenish her nutrition.

I went to bed late last night and was tormented by He Yuzhu again. I feel completely weak and extremely tired.

When Bai Ling regained consciousness, she found that it was already broad daylight and the sun was high in the sky.

With a cry of surprise, she quickly got up and put on her clothes.

He complained, "Honestly, why didn't you wake me up?"

He Yuzhu said, "I just wanted you to sleep a little longer, so you don't overwork yourself."

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at him and quickly combed her hair with a comb.

He Yuzhu snatched the comb and stood behind him to help.

Bai Ling laughed as she looked at the two people's portraits reflected in the mirror, and her fair face flushed red again.

He Yuzhu quickly tied his hair up, put his hand on Bai Ling's fragrant shoulder, and lowered his head to kiss her pretty face.

This sight made them look like a couple who had just gotten up, filling Bai Ling's heart with sweetness.

After hurriedly eating breakfast, Bai Ling got into the jeep heading to the machinery factory and said:

"You'd better behave yourself from now on, and don't let anyone notice anything unusual."

He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "What's unusual?"

Bai Ling couldn't help but punch him: "What do you think? You scoundrel."

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, no one will find out."

"Especially in front of Tian Zao, you mustn't let anything slip."

He Yuzhu said, "Of course, I won't let her know."

Bai Ling added, "And from now on, no one is allowed to stay overnight in my yard without my permission."

"Isn't this condition going too far?"

"If it doesn't work out, then this is the condition you have to agree to."

He Yuzhu said, "I'm your man, so you have to listen to me, not the other way around."

"Pah, you stinky bastard! As the younger brother, you should listen to your older sister, or I'll ignore you."

He Yuzhu snorted and said, "You'll be calling me 'brother' someday."

"Pah, I won't call you that."

Bai Ling turned around and sat back down, her face burning.

It's strange, why does He Yuzhu look different from other people?

If it really comes to the final step, how long can I hold on?

Bai Ling had no idea about the answer.

They soon arrived at the road outside the machinery yard, and Bai Ling quickly stopped the car and jumped out.

"You go in yourself, I'll walk in."

He Yuzhu understood Bai Ling's meaning, so he didn't press the matter further. He waved his hand and drove the jeep into the machinery factory.

Upon arriving at the office, Lü Xiaomi reported that after the first round of interrogation last night, the police officers conducted a second round of cross-interrogation today.

He Yuzhu said, "We must coordinate with all departments to ensure the reception is done well and that nothing goes wrong."

Lü Xiaomi nodded and said, "Director Shen has already spoken to me and asked me to prepare for the handover this week. A new woman will come to be your secretary next Monday morning, and the handover will take place then."

We had already received word that, in order to show that he was aligned with Director Jiang, Secretary Lü was going to transfer his daughter, Lü Xiaomi, away from He Yuzhu.

"Then do you know who it is?"

Lu Xiaomi shook her head and then said, "It must be a woman from the Jiang family. You mustn't fall for her tricks and get seduced by her."

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. Maybe it'll be a man."

"No, I know it's a woman, and she's very pretty, I just don't know her name."

Lu Xiaomi pouted and said, "Jiang Hanyang must be trying to use his beauty to seduce you. You mustn't fall for it."

He Yuzhu smiled and pulled Lü Xiaomi into his arms, kissed her on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Isn't it better to swallow the sugar coating and throw the cannonball back?"

"Pah, I knew you couldn't resist pretty girls."

"You haven't even met her yet, and you're already eyeing this young girl? Aren't you afraid it's a trap? You might get reported for having illicit affairs, and your entire future will be ruined?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "I'm not afraid. This machinery factory can't function without me."

He Yuzhu was confident because he had mastered the factory's core technologies, including machine tools and production lines, and some special parts that only he could manufacture.

The dimensions and data were not documented at all.

He kept everything in his mind and also created a large number of parts to store in his space.

Without him, the entire factory could not continue production.

He Yuzhu said that, but Lü Xiaomi didn't believe him. She just thought he was encouraging her.

He Yuzhu placed his hand on Lü Xiaomi's stomach and said, "Be careful lately, you're carrying our child."

"No way, you're just lying to me."

He Yuzhu shook his head. Why didn't Lü Xiaomi believe him?

He Yuzhu was worried about whether the child, who was always jumping around, could grow up healthily.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, she stopped trying to persuade him and asked, "Are you still a section chief?"

Chapter 370 Promoting His Secretary

Lü Xiaomi said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

He Yuzhu said, "Go and draft a document to promote you from section chief to deputy section chief."

Lü Xiaomi exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! This doesn't comply with organizational procedures; the time limit hasn't been reached yet."

"Can't you say something nice, like what outstanding achievements you've made or what contributions you've made? Don't worry, at this crucial moment, as long as I agree, the Jiang family will agree too."

He Yuzhu was promoted to the rank of section chief in a short period of time, which was an exceptional promotion.

Otherwise, according to organizational procedures, someone so young would never be able to become a section-level cadre.

Since Jiang Hanyang wanted to transfer Lü Xiaomi and arrange for someone else to serve as his secretary,

He Yuzhu planned to promote Lü Xiaomi to deputy section chief before he left.

Although this did not comply with organizational procedures, He Yuzhu still decided to submit the proposal.

Director Li has recently handed over the management of the street to Jiang Hanyang, so this proposal will definitely end up on his desk.

Right now, Director Jiang and Secretary Lü are in their honeymoon period, and Secretary Lü's daughter is about to be promoted.

Director Jiang certainly wouldn't reject this proposal, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to Secretary Lü.

Even if I'm unhappy about it, I'll still agree to it.

Lü Xiaomi couldn't think of such a comprehensive picture in a short time, but He Yuzhu was well aware of these things.

We should take this opportunity to promote Lü Xiaomi.

If she misses this opportunity, given Lü Xiaomi's qualifications, it will take her more than 5 years to meet the requirements.

Whether I can be promoted to deputy section chief depends on various factors.

Leveling up doesn't simply mean waiting out the allotted time.

Deputy section chiefs can serve as directors or deputy directors in subordinate units of the subdistrict.

For example, the head and deputy head of units such as the Housing Management Section and the Land Office can both be at the deputy section chief level.
