NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1184
Liu Zhizhong gave a bitter smile, shook his head, "Mrs. Zheng, there's nothing that can be done! In the past, you and my godfather hoped I could get a divorce, and then..."
Mrs. Zheng waved her hand, "Let's not talk about this, we'll discuss it later! It's getting late, you chat more with your godfather, I'm a bit tired today, I'll go rest first!"
Liu Zhizhong didn't know what his godmother was going to say later, and Zheng Xitong just smiled and said nothing, so Liu Zhizhong didn't feel like asking anything more.
After dinner, Liu Zhizhong went with Zheng Xitong to the latter's study, made some good tea, and the servants brought in some top-quality snacks. The two smoked and chatted idly.
Zheng Xitong asked Liu Zhizhong about Shanan's current anti-corruption situation, with seventy to eighty percent of the officials caught, waiting for trial, and the County Committee and County Government's groups being decimated. He asked what Liu planned to do.
Liu Zhizhong laughed and said, "Actually, there's no clear directive from the organization about replenishing staff. But after the incident, the remaining staff pulled together, and the aftermath work went pretty well! Although it's been a bit tough, we've managed to hold on. I reckon that replenishing about twenty percent of the staff later would be just right, much easier."
"Yeah, exactly! That county was really a mess, with too many people on phantom payrolls, and too many positions filled by those who just lie flat and eat without working. The idea of streamlining the administration is indeed a good thing. It depends on how the organization plans to handle it later! So, what about you, still want to be County Mayor?"
"Of course, I've only been County Mayor for a few days, it's not like I can get a promotion, right? Haha..."
"True enough! But it's just a matter of time. Being able to stand your ground after such an event is indeed a blessing. As County Mayor, what's your plan for Shanan's local economy? I mean, do you have any projects in mind? Your godfather still has some resources at his disposal, feel free to use them."
"I... this... haha, I haven't thought it through yet! After all, Shanan just underwent major surgery; everything is just stabilizing again. To achieve political accomplishments, there's still time..."
"Okay, once you have a plan, just let me know..."
"..."
After another night of chatting, Liu Zhizhong got a different vibe.
The smiling tiger never makes decisions lightly, but when he does, it's true and sincere.
Now, he actually feels a sense of support, but what does it mean?
This support now, what was the meaning of the previous monitoring?
The smiling tiger's gourd has some medicine, and quite a lot of it...
The next mid-morning, Liu Zhizhong returned to Yangzhou, heading straight to the Hospital.
After the long holiday of the Lunar New Year, everywhere has resumed work early.
Liu Zhizhong went straight to the Hospital, sitting with Zhao Yan for a while, as he was used to.
Looking at his charming wife, her long, shiny black hair, her sexy figure, and the irresistible aura of a sleeping beauty, Liu Zhizhong could only feel regret in his heart.
It is often said that beauty does not last, all he could do was accept it for now.
As it approached noon, Liu Zhizhong planned to leave, but when he walked to the parking lot, he unexpectedly saw Zhang Hongyang's car pulling in.
What was that bastard doing here?
Immediately, Liu Zhizhong strode over and stopped him as Zhang Hongyang got out of the car.
When Zhang Hongyang saw it was Liu Zhizhong, he was a bit surprised and somewhat embarrassed, blurting out, "What are you doing here, County Magistrate Liu?"
Liu Zhizhong sneered, "Isn't it obvious? I'm here to see my wife, isn't that allowed? But you, what are you here for?"
Zhang Hongyang couldn't be bothered with beating around the bush, "I'm here to see your wife too, is that a problem?"
