"Yes."

"I have something to tell you." Yang Yuxin called Zhang Xinming over.

"what's up?"

"It's like this. Your mayor is afraid that he will forget to bring his keys when he goes out, so he wants to leave a key with me as a backup. His spare key is with you, right?" Yang Yuxin whispered.

Zhang Xinming's mind was a little confused, so he sorted out his thoughts.

"You don't need to worry. I'm always with the mayor," said Zhang Xinming.

"Why do you have such low emotional intelligence? Do you know that your behavior will make your mayor very embarrassed?" Yang Yuxin rolled her eyes at Zhang Xinming.

"I'll tell you straight, your mayor wants you to leave the key to me, but it's not convenient to tell you directly, do you understand?" Yang Yuxin continued.

Zhang Xinming suddenly understood and felt embarrassed. Yang Yuxin's words were equivalent to directly admitting that he and Qin Feng were lovers.

"Give me your key, but remember, don't mention this in front of your mayor. It will embarrass your mayor, and don't blame me if he gets angry and takes it out on you. As a secretary, you must first maintain high emotional intelligence, okay?" Yang Yuxin "educated" Zhang Xinming.

Zhang Xinming felt even more embarrassed after being "educated" by Yang Yuxin, but he also realized that what Yang Yuxin said was right. How could he ask Qin Feng about such a thing? How embarrassed would that make Qin Feng?

Since it was Qin Feng's order, Zhang Xinming certainly didn't dare to disobey it. Moreover, Yang Yuxin's words had clearly told Zhang Xinming about her relationship with Qin Feng. Zhang Xinming didn't dare to offend Yang Yuxin even more, so he obediently gave Yang Yuxin the key to Qin Feng's room.

Of course, Zhang Xinming would not be stupid enough to mention this matter to Qin Feng, but he was still very uneasy deep down in his heart. After all, he had only guessed about the relationship between Qin Feng and Yang Yuxin before, but now the relationship between Qin Feng and Yang Yuxin was a clear secret.

Although Zhang Xinming is Qin Feng's secretary, he is older than Qin Feng and has worked in the system for longer years. He certainly understands Qin Feng's current situation and knows clearly what the consequences will be if the matter between Qin Feng and Yang Yuxin is discovered.

Zhang Xinming has to go to the office of Secretary-General Chen Guohua every morning. Chen Guohua will assign him some matters related to Qin Feng's work, such as Qin Feng's work schedule, attendance at activities and other related matters. Zhang Xinming also needs to report some work to Chen Guohua.

After Zhang Xinming made tea for Qin Feng and made other preparations, and confirmed that Qin Feng had no plans for the time being, he took his workbook and went to Chen Guohua's office. This was Zhang Xinming's daily routine.

After Zhang Xinming finished his work with Chen Guohua, he put down the workbook in his hand.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Chen Guohua asked.

"Secretary-General, there is something I need to report to you. It is about the mayor." Zhang Xinming said.

"You say." Chen Guohua nodded.

Zhang Xinming stood up, walked to the door and closed Chen Guohua's office door.

"This morning when I went to pick up the mayor for work, Miss Yang came out of the next room."

"Who? Which Miss Yang?" Chen Guohua didn't even know Yang Yuxin's name.

"It's the mayor's female friend whom you asked me to pay attention to. Her surname is Yang, and her name is Yang Yuxin. She asked for my cell phone number and added me on WeChat, so I know her full name." Zhang Xinming explained.

"Wait, none of this matters. You mean she came out of the room next to the mayor, and early in the morning?" Chen Guohua grasped the crux of the matter.

Zhang Xinming told Chen Guohua everything that happened this morning, without omitting a single detail, including every word Yang Yuxin said to him.

Zhang Xinming did not add any analysis of his own. This was a habit he had developed over the years as a secretary, and he did not mix in any personal judgment when reporting work to his superiors.

After listening to this, Chen Guohua frowned and lit a cigarette.

"Two points. First, it just so happens that she lives in the room next to the mayor. Second, the mayor actually asked you to leave the spare key with her." Chen Guohua said slowly.

"Yes, that's true." Zhang Xinming nodded.

Yesterday, Chen Guohua pulled Zhang Xinming aside to ask him questions, trying to find out what the relationship between Qin Feng and Yang Yuxin was. But today, after hearing all this, Chen Guohua fell silent and did not ask Zhang Xinming any more questions.

The reason why Chen Guohua didn't ask was because there was no need to ask, the matter was already clear.

Qin Feng suddenly said he wanted to move, and as soon as Chen Guohua arranged Qin Feng's accommodation, Yang Yuxin moved into the room next to Qin Feng and asked Zhang Xinming to give Yang Yuxin the spare key.

Everyone knows Qin Feng's intention and the relationship between Qin Feng and Yang Yuxin.

"Okay, I understand, Xinming. Don't ask about this matter anymore and don't mention it to anyone. Just pretend you know nothing. You should be clear about the severity of this matter." Chen Guohua said solemnly.

"I know." Zhang Xinming nodded.

"Okay, go and do your work!"

Zhang Xinming left Chen Guohua's office.

After Zhang Xinming left, Chen Guohua picked up his phone and called Jiang Yunpeng.

"Director Jiang, is it convenient for you now?" Chen Guohua asked directly.

Jiang Yunpeng was in a meeting and came out to answer the phone. When he heard Chen Guohua ask this, he hurried into his office and closed the door. He knew that Chen Guohua must be going to tell him something confidential.

"I'm in the office now. Does the Secretary-General have any instructions?" Jiang Yunpeng asked.

"How's your investigation going with the woman next to the mayor that I asked you to investigate last time? A few days have passed. Have you made any progress?" Chen Guohua asked.

"Secretary-General, how can it be so fast? We don't even know who that woman is. I can't find her immediately based on my description of her appearance, right? Besides, this matter must be kept extremely confidential and must be carried out in secret, so it won't be so fast. But don't worry, we will definitely investigate it thoroughly and there will be results within a week." Jiang Yunpeng replied.

"The woman's name is Yang Yuxin, and it is 100% certain that she is the mayor's lover." Chen Guohua said.

After hearing Chen Guohua's words, Jiang Yunpeng also fell silent, not knowing what to say.

"Are you... sure?"

"How can we be sure? The mayor has already asked that woman to move next door to him." Chen Guohua said.

Jiang Yunpeng was silent again, and then asked, "Secretary-General, what should I do? Is the investigation still going on?"

"Of course we have to do it, and faster. This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. Either I talk to the mayor, or I find this woman privately to resolve it. But the prerequisite is that we must find out the bottom line of this woman. If she is simply the mayor's lover, it will be easy to resolve. I am afraid that this is a woman with ulterior motives." Chen Guohua reminded.
