Liu Zhizhong looked at Zhang Hongyang's slight trace of inadvertent smugness at the corners of his mouth, feeling a bit uncomfortable, but he could take it in stride and let it pass.

He said, "Alright, County Head Zhang, no need for the pretty words. I'm handing over Shanan County to you with great hope, hoping you'll guard this foundation well!"

"I... you..." Zhang Hongyang still stuttered, feeling frustrated, "Why do I feel like the old emperor entrusting an orphan? You're taking advantage of me?"

Liu Zhizhong grinned, patting Zhang Hongyang's shoulder, "Comrade Hongyang, you're overthinking it. I could put it this way..."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "Back then, I really shouldn't have let you run to the Provincial City with money! Now look, you've ended up with a big deal."

Zhang Hongyang's tail was almost wagging, he whispered, "Secretary Liu cares about the team members. With the guidance you gave, how could I refuse? Regret it now? Listen to me, thank you! It's fate!"

Liu Zhizhong could only smile, shook his head, and turned to walk away.

Zhang Hongyang watched Liu Zhizhong's shadow and almost burst out laughing.

The long-standing oppression in front of Liu Zhizhong was released, damn it felt great, refreshing, gratifying!

Anyway, Zhang Hongyang had fantasized it all out.

With Liu Zhizhong leaving, I'll take over the position of Party Secretary, and in Shanan, it's all under my say!

To hell with it, finally, I can hold my head high!

No matter how Shanan turns out, there will certainly be an outcome, it's just not as good as expected.

However, as long as you please the leaders above, give what should be given, send what should be sent, when the leaders are happy, is promotion advancement still a hard thing?

In officialdom, is it really about serving the people below and the ordinary folks? No no no, it's all about serving the leaders, the leaders' preferences are what's most important!

Zhang Hongyang's enlightenment, although a bit off-track, damn it's truly based on reality!

In many officialdom units, hierarchies, such phenomenon abounds. People with little ability but who cozy up with the leaders daily, often end up being valued people.

Those with abilities and who can get things done, but don't mingle with the leaders every day, don't serve the leaders, ultimately can only showcase their abilities, continue doing their tasks, and promotion advancement hardly ever comes to them.

So, everyone wants to become the leader's close confidant, the popular one, that's the reason!

Leaders, after all, are human too, understand human nature and the ways of the world. Would they use someone who is distant, unfamiliar, over those who are good to them, close to them, can please them?

For these tactics, Zhang Hongyang is indeed very familiar!

Not long after, the city group called him for a talk, had a great conversation, and he cooperated very well. It seems his successor position as Shanan County Party Secretary is a done deal.

On the other hand, Liu Zhizhong was also approached by the organization for a talk, not only by the city group first, but also the provincial group! After all, his case involves an inter-city transfer within the province, making it more grandiose.

The organization appreciates Liu Zhizhong's style, listening to arrangements, commanding respect, wholeheartedly public-oriented, and of course, asked if he had any further requests.

Liu Zhizhong certainly needs to make requests, so he mentioned to the organization his wish to take Hamuer and hopes the organization can give him an opportunity to become one of the vice mayors of Daxi City.

This request came out, and the organization faced some difficulty, hey~~~~
