The Secret to Picking Up Girls

Zhang Yaoguo was alright, but Zhang Yuze's mother, He Xiuying, as a police officer, had an even harder time. Police officers don't have holidays. Although there's an annual leave, it's just time squeezed out of the year for a vacation. Even as a leader, it just so happened that his mother's police team was on duty this Spring Festival, meaning Zhang Yuze would probably have to spend Chinese New Year alone, which made him very unhappy.

Looking at his father's slightly weary face, Zhang Yuze felt a pang of sympathy. A district head seemed like a big official, but under a strong secretary, life wasn't so easy.

"Yuze, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Dad has been a bit busy these past few days, really…" Zhang Yaoguo returned home with the bag quite late, but looking at Zhang Yuze watching TV alone, he felt somewhat guilty.

"Dad! Tomorrow is the 30th. Can't you stay home?" Although Zhang Yuze could understand his father's difficulties, he still felt a bit upset at this moment.

"This… Yuze, Dad doesn't know if he can arrange the time. But, I'll try!" Zhang Yaoguo hesitated before saying to Zhang Yuze.

Zhang Yuze suddenly remembered that Sister Tao seemed to have told him she wouldn't be going home for the New Year. Sister Tao never liked those social events. As a leader, she might be alone at home. Could he invite her to his home to spend New Year's Eve together?

"Dad, do you think we should invite Sister Tao to our house to celebrate the New Year together tomorrow?" Zhang Yuze looked at Zhang Yaoguo with a questioning gaze.

"You… you can get Mayor Tao to come to our house?" Zhang Yaoguo looked at Zhang Yuze in disbelief.

Zhang Yaoguo knew that Mayor Tao was a popular candidate for mayor. Although Zhang Yaoguo could now be considered part of Tao Ruolan's faction, he would spare no effort to maintain a good relationship with Tao Ruolan. However, even being able to visit Mayor Tao's house for a New Year's greeting was already good enough. Even Zhang Yaoguo wouldn't dare to dream of asking Tao Ruolan out for a meal, let alone having Tao Ruolan come to his house for a meal. Although Tao Ruolan's attitude towards him when he reported his work to her in the city was much better than towards other district leaders, which often made Zhang Yaoguo feel flattered. Of course, he didn't know that his son had already slept with his direct superior. To some extent, Tao Ruolan could already be considered his daughter-in-law.

"Yuze, if you can really invite Mayor Tao to our house for New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow, Dad will definitely spend the New Year at home with your mother tomorrow. Even if your mother is on duty, Dad will have her switch shifts." At this moment, Zhang Yaoguo suddenly adopted the air of a leader.

Zhang Yuze chuckled inwardly. He knew that his father's behavior still had a lot of confidence behind it. Although Zhang Yuze's mother was a police officer, the Public Security Bureau was also a functional department of the district government and under his leadership.

"Dad, I can only say I'll try, but I can't guarantee Sister Tao will definitely come," Zhang Yuze said to his father with a smile.
