After I Became a Leader's Secretary, the Gold Digger Regretted It

Li Mu, a poverty-alleviation official with the Culture and Tourism Bureau, returns to Mingkun City ahead of schedule after distinguished service.

By chance, he catches his wife, Shen Xiaoyu, acting intimately with Liu Yibing, the hospital director’s son, their words suggestive.

Li Mu confronts them on the spot, but his wife, Shen Xiaoyu, shows no remorse and instead hurls insults at him.

Shen Xiaoyu says, “Li Mu, everyone else is right: you’re useless! I want to live in a big house and be able to hold my head high in front of my former classmates. What’s wrong with that?”

Who could have guessed that luck would turn in Li Mu’s favor, making him the deputy municipal Party secretary’s secretary...

Shen Xiaoyu says, “Li Mu, honey, I was wrong. Come home early tonight. I bought a new sexy nightgown...”

Starting out as a lowly archivist at the Culture and Tourism Bureau, stuck on the sidelines, Li Mu cleverly puts his intelligence and understanding of human nature to use. From secretary to the deputy municipal Party secretary, to deputy mayor of a town, then mayor, and finally deputy mayor of the city, he rises step by step and sets out on his political career.
