NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1169
Ten days later, Liu Zhizhong and Hamuer finally returned to Shanan County.
During the days spent at the grassroots level, he had many reflections, learned a lot, and gathered a lot of useful information, which further strengthened Liu Zhizhong's ideas.
If you want to achieve results in Shanan, you must be bold and decisive, starting with a total overhaul of the Party and government system. A major reshuffle is imperative.
Back then, Zhang Hongyang, in Shadong County, also leveraged his family's influence to initiate an anti-corruption campaign and made a name for himself overnight.
Now, if Liu Zhizhong wants to do the same, he may not become famous overnight, but he will definitely take control of the overall situation. Do you believe it?
During these ten days, he formed a deep friendship with Hamuer and gained a profound understanding of each other, truly becoming kindred spirits.
Liu Zhizhong, this top student from a 985 university, and Hamuer, a veteran graduate from a 211 university, their strong alliance is certainly something to see!
Meanwhile, everything in Shanan County remained the same.
The absence of County Mayor Liu Zhizhong and County Government Office Director Hamuer seemed to have no impact on the county government's operations, everything proceeded as usual. There wasn't much that required handling anyway.
While the County Mayor was absent, the Executive Deputy County Mayor was there to oversee things, only needing to ensure a good report was prepared for the County Mayor later. Documents requiring the County Mayor's signature could be left in the county office; there weren't too many that needed signing anyway.
The local forces in Shanan, led by Mo Dayou, continued their extravagant and indulgent lifestyle without any change in their pace.
The arrival of the new County Mayor posed no shock or pressure on them, especially for someone rumored to have no political ambitions.
As a result, Liu Zhizhong was misunderstood, overlooked, and even marginalized. Shanan wasn't affected by his presence or absence.
Poverty was still poverty, corruption was still corruption, the autonomous style of the autonomous county continued.
But no one expected that, ten days later, Liu Zhizhong would return with a whitelist in hand.
This whitelist included many individuals confirmed by Liu Zhizhong, and some confirmed by Hamuer. Liu Zhizhong had briefly called many of the individuals on the list, through short conversations, but he managed to capture a lot of information: indeed, like Hamuer, they were frustrated, helpless, and had no choice.
Some even never expected the new County Mayor to give them a call to chat about family matters.
For all of this, Liu Zhizhong needed to be well-informed.
After returning to the county seat, a County Government work meeting proceeded as usual, another one was held.
The county committee standing committee meeting was also held in a timely manner, and Liu Zhizhong spoke as well, although it was just about learning relevant documents from higher-ups. Concerning personnel changes, he voted in favor.
In everyone's eyes, Liu Zhizhong, the new County Mayor, truly belonged to the laid-back type and enjoyed leisure activities. He even mentioned at the post-committee gathering that he planned to continue going down to the grassroots as the atmosphere was better, freer, and more enjoyable.
OK, the new County Mayor posed no threat to the local interest groups, this has become a shared understanding.
The post-standing committee gathering was quite corrupt, those who understood knew, it was still held at the Shanan Hotel branch in the mountains, with one-stop service for dining, drinking, and bathing, haha...
Liu Zhizhong only participated partially, then went to his room to sleep.
As he dozed off, his phone suddenly rang, waking him up.
He picked it up and saw it was Lu Yumei!
Huh... wasn't his mother-in-law and Zhao Han taking a flight to Singapore this morning? Have they arrived?
