Liu Zhizhong sighed, "Ah... All said and done, my comrade, I am your team leader, right? Even if I have no responsibility, I still have to take responsibility on my own initiative!"

"Damn..."

Hongyang felt a rush of emotion, genuinely touched, "Liu Zhizhong, you damn... taking the initiative to wade into troubled waters?"

"What else could I do?"

"Alright, alright... I really admire you!"

"Let's get ready and head straight to Provincial City. Just the two of us, representing the Shanan County Committee and County Government, we must visit and express condolences to Meng Province. I think there'll certainly be people going from the state too, probably the big boss and the second-in-command leading the way."

"Oh, alright, alright..." Hongyang nodded repeatedly, but suddenly thought of something, "Secretary Liu, do we need to prepare something? Nutritional products, local specialties, or money?"

"Nonsense! Of course, the main thing is to prepare money! Mostly your money! As for the county's money, just follow the province's rules, don't exceed the standard, but also can exceed it."

"Damn... Big brother, can't exceed the standard, but can exceed it, isn't that contradictory?"

"Hehe, not contradictory at all. When the time comes, we'll do it like this... like this..."

In one go, Liu Zhizhong laid out his thoughts and strategy.

Hongyang was utterly amazed as he listened.

After the call ended, Hongyang looked at his secretary Xie Peng, exclaiming, "Damn, only Liu Zhizhong has a way!"

Xie Peng couldn't help but agree, nodding, "This bastard, really is damn talented, ah..."

Hongyang was a bit annoyed, "Xie Peng, stop referring to him as a 'bastard'; he should be called Secretary Liu."

"Ah? Brother Yang, I..." Xie Peng felt a bit frustrated, then said, "Have you forgotten our original intentions?"

"Original intentions be damned, I need to safely pass my own trials first!"

"Oh, oh, oh... Hehehehe..."

"..."

That afternoon, at the County Committee and County Government farm, the slaughter master started operations.

Six native chickens, one native pig, two sheep, one cow, all slaughtered and ready.

Hongyang also brought Xie Peng to the site and joined Liu Zhizhong and Hamuer there.

The native chickens were packed, while the best meat and ribs from the native pig and yellow sheep, cow were all packed and placed in the cooler of Liu Zhizhong's Super Maybach.

After everything was settled, Liu Zhizhong arranged for the farm to send a batch of pork, lamb, and beef to the state using a refrigerated truck. He directly contacted the East Light State Committee Secretary-General, stating that it would be sent for leaders to use for gatherings, produced by the county's own farm, costing very little.

Being an official is also about serving leaders, something Liu Zhizhong does very well.

At the same time, Liu Zhizhong got word from the State Committee Secretary-General that the state was just waiting for Meng Jixiang's injury announcement; as soon as it was out, they would head to Provincial City for condolences, possibly tomorrow.

Thus, Liu Zhizhong and Hongyang decided to go to Provincial City ahead of everyone else, without any issues.

In Liu Zhizhong's words, County Mayor Zhang's mistake was unintentional, but his attitude should be correct and sincere, hence he should promptly head to Provincial City, directly to Yalan Hospital.

There they went, with the fresh ingredients from the county farm packed, Liu Zhizhong personally drove the car, taking Hongyang along, directly heading to Provincial City.

Hongyang sat in the incredibly comfortable passenger seat, sighing, "I really have some face, Secretary big brother personally drives me, hehe... I must say, your car is really damn luxurious!"
