NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1191
"County Mayor Zhang, what nice words? I'm speaking the truth. If there was indeed wanton laughing involved, then that's truly laughing from the heart..."
Hongyang immediately retorted coldly, "See, doesn't this just expose your inner ugliness? Liu Zhizhong, you're such a scoundrel, haha..."
"Calm down, County Mayor Zhang. I was laughing for the sake of the one hundred thousand citizens of Shanan. After all, a better County Mayor is coming, not only young and vigorous but also quite adept at managing the economy. It's a blessing for the people! Let's leave it at that for now, County Mayor Zhang. Liu Zhizhong, along with the four major bodies of the Shanan County Committee and County Government, eagerly welcomes you to take office soon, bringing valuable experience and rich political resources, all in service of the people!"
Listening to this made Hongyang feel like throwing up, "Liu Zhizhong, that's enough, stop with all this nonsense. We officials serve the people; who's coming to serve us? Don't get any ideas, even if I come to Shanan, I absolutely won't bow to you. If you think you can step on me just because you're the secretary, think again! Let's get this ugly truth out in front, that's how it's going to be!"
After speaking, Hongyang reached out to hang up the phone.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Zhang extended his hand to stop him, scolding, "You beast! Hanging up? Look at Secretary Liu Zhizhong, then look at yourself, what nonsense is this? You have no political perspective or refinement!"
In front of Hongyang's face, Old Man Zhang genuinely praised Liu Zhizhong.
Hongyang's face was totally awkward, feeling pained but unable to lash out at his father, right?
Over there, Liu Zhizhong froze for a moment, but then immediately heard Old Man Zhang say, "Haha, hey, Secretary Liu, this is Zhang Zhengchang here, how have things been lately?"
Liu Zhizhong could only chuckle along, "Haha, Old Secretary, you're here too! Long time no see, long time no see, everything's good here, is your health still good, sir?"
"Ah, thank you, Secretary Liu, for your concern. I'm still doing alright! On your side, you're truly shining brightly! With such a big situation in Shanan, Secretary Liu turned the tide, revitalized the land, incomparable contributions, being promoted to secretary, truly deserved! My son Hongyang lacks refinement, and is too narrow-minded. Working together in the future, I hope Secretary Liu will give us guidance, give us guidance!"
Look at that old secretary, how smooth were those words?
Hongyang was beside him, wanting to shout for dad to stop, but didn't dare. He looked miserable like he'd eaten fly dung, feeling stifled and how his father was lowering his value!
A dignified retired old City Committee Secretary, actually licking up to a newly appointed County Party Secretary.
How could someone like Liu Zhizhong have come into my dad's good graces?
Where's that saying, 'different times, different circumstances!'
As for Liu Zhizhong, he was quite courteous, "Old Secretary, you're overpraising me. County Mayor Zhang is young and vigorous, with a rich political background, no chance of me providing guidance. It can only be said that in the future, the Party and government will work together to build Shanan well!"
"Mm, good good good, Secretary Liu has a grand perspective! No matter what, you both were once brothers-in-law, now working together in Shanan, coexist peacefully and make progress together! Also appreciative of Secretary Liu, giving this old man some face, don't hold it against him too much in the future! Regarding my son, I will thoroughly educate him before he takes office, to avoid causing troubles for Secretary Liu in the future!"
Listening to these words made Hongyang almost cry...
