NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1177
It's quite common for County Magistrate Liu to go down to rural areas for the second time.
Let him do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't affect everyone's interests.
When people talk about Liu Zhizhong, sometimes Mo Dayou is present, but he just smiles faintly. A young county mayor without political ambition doesn't conflict with him, drifting along with the tide without posing any threat.
Of course, Mo Dayou also feels that this kind of county mayor intends to laze away the whole lifetime! If he has no thoughts of mingling with influential circles, doesn't go to the state to network, host meals, send gifts, it's probably impossible to retire comfortably to the state.
Yet, who knows, when Liu Zhizhong's Super Maybach drove through the county town's streets, past the squalor, past areas rife with fighting, a mysterious anti-corruption operation was quietly unfolding.
Revamping Shanan and daring to turn backwardness into a new dawn, this is Liu Zhizhong's plan and dream, already underway.
What Liu Zhizhong plans is to properly sink into the grassroots, feigning presence and disengagement.
Meanwhile, a long-form literary work "Walking in the Wilderness of the Border Town, My Heart So Heavy" is gradually unraveling its prologue alongside his rural journey, starting its piercing literary edge. Slowly honing, with bits of brilliance emerging, taking it slow, it's destined to be a big hit.
Viewed this way, Liu Zhizhong taking over Shanan as the county mayor mirrors what Zhang Hongyang did when he took over Shadong County!
Both pursued anti-corruption and revamped officialdom, then authored a best-selling book. Naturally, the book by Zhang Hongyang was actually written by Liu Zhizhong, haha!
In the future, will Liu Zhizhong also handle Shanan's economy as Zhang Hongyang managed Shadong's economy, making it even more coincidental?
Of course, though it looks similar, the approach is actually different!
Overall, Shanan's situation is more severe and unique compared to Shadong County. Shanan is a minority autonomous county, whereas Shadong isn't.
Zhang Hongyang relied on family power and the forces in Yangzhou City, making a notable impact. By exploiting Liu Zhizhong's talents, he got so popular, producing books and TV shows, very impressive indeed.
And Liu Zhizhong? Well, he'll rely on the power of the internet, haha… Once a king of internet traffic and fame, he still has his ways.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Zhizhong's grassroots descent lasted as long as two months.
During this period, he missed many meetings at both the county and state levels, but it didn't matter, really didn't matter at all. Because everyone in Dongguang State and Shanan County understands this political ecology.
Especially a county mayor like Liu Zhizhong, who enjoys camping and scenic views in rural areas, no one bothers with him. Whether he attends or not, it has no effect. It doesn't affect the indulgence and waste from the state to county level.
Liu Zhizhong's absence in meetings doesn't mean his name is missing from records and reports, which is standard practice. As long as he doesn't get into trouble and fall, having his name is perfectly normal.
Sometimes, a county meeting would see Hamuer take the Deputy Township Mayor's special car from a nearby township to help Liu Zhizhong attend it. Anyway, they're not critical meetings, yet these meetings are one of the primary work forms at the county level, haha...
Another blink of an eye, the Lunar New Year is approaching, and the festive atmosphere in the autonomous county is more intense. Yet under this atmosphere, a monumental change is being born of necessity, haha...
