Since the conversation had reached this point, Liu Zhizhong dropped all pretenses and proposed that, after his recovery, he hoped to return to Yangzhou and become the Executive Deputy Director of Jiangdong District.

Moreover, he wished Minister Luo would uphold justice and resolve his conflict with Zhang Hongyang, hoping that Zhang Hongyang would stop targeting him, and that the two could live and let live, each taking their separate paths.

Zhang Tianbao indicated that he would discuss these matters with Minister Luo upon his return. Of course, he also mentioned that news about the highway car accident was banned from all platforms like Douyin, and was harmonized immediately upon release.

Liu Zhizhong understood this, of course, it was all to protect Luo Shuxiu. After all, there had been quite a few car owners who had filmed videos on the highway, and that was certain. Nowadays, with an information technology explosion, people loved to snap things impulsively, fishing for some eyeballs and traffic.

Under the heavy hand of Minister Luo's authority, curbing these self-media platforms had its own set of techniques. If a manual review didn't pass, it would be directly completed.

After Zhang Tianbao left, Liu Zhizhong felt relieved and sensed a significant turning point had arrived in his life!

Ah, gratitude was due to that woman Luo Shuxiu for speeding! Blame it on Tesla for carrying the pot, she was innocent, and he was blessed in disguise.

At this time, Liu Zhizhong had regained a lot of strength, and his spirits were pretty high, so he powered on the new phone Luo Tianlin had given him and started to operate it.

After getting the hang of it, he naturally received a message from Zhang Qixiang on WeChat saying, "You dead man, where have you died to? Why haven't you arrived at Taohua Island yet? I'm going back tomorrow."

This message was sent at eight o'clock this morning.

Liu Zhizhong couldn't be bothered to reply to her just yet and started reading the news instead, searching for related news articles.

Given how quick reporters were to grab eyeballs and traffic, they must have finished their interviews and edited their stories in the cars, publishing them right away.

And indeed, Liu Zhizhong was stunned, numbed.

The Tesla's high-speed tailgating made it to hot search, ranking second.

Party School's Youth Class student heroically saves lives on the highway, made it to hot search, reaching third place.

Of course, the first place on the hot search was still the female teacher's affair with a 16-year-old student. The fervor was relentless!

Clicking on his own related hot search, he saw nothing but highly laudatory reports and images of the female driver's gratitude. The female driver also retained the right to protect her own interests, and so on.

The comments section was ablaze with those praising Liu Zhizhong's character, his fortune, and others saying he was a good local leader who had done a lot for the people while working in the towns.

Even the Yangzhou Municipal Committee chimed in, saying that he was an excellent Party cadre who had always been proficient in his duties and strong in his capabilities.

Anyway, Liu Zhizhong had become famous; his popularity soared, turning him into a star official.

Some predicted that, with his successful training at the Party School and such a valorous performance, Liu Zhizhong's career looked promising, and he was sure to be promoted and reused.

However, the good news was that these news reports had received instructions, saying that in order not to disturb the hero, so he could recover sooner and return to work, the hospital where the hero was staying was kept secret. People were asked not to call or inquire about visiting the hospital so that the hero could recuperate in peace, as a form of protection and care for him.

Moreover, the news reports also mentioned that leaders from the Provincial City and Provincial Committee had also visited the hero in the hospital. It even stated that leaders from the Yangzhou City Committee had rushed over to show their concern and consolation.

In the end, it was all about spinning a story, as long as it made the public believe it was true.

When Zhang Hongyang learned of such events, he had just returned to Yangzhou, and he was utterly shocked; it was too much for him.

He had originally hoped a midway car accident would make Liu Zhizhong's life a living hell.

Instead, his plot was foiled.

He was still thinking that after returning to Yangzhou, he would continue to make life difficult for Liu Zhizhong.

Who would have thought that Liu Zhizhong would have such dumb luck, saving Minister Luo's daughter... Damn it... Was this guy about to turn his luck around?

Seeing the content of these hot searches, Zhang Hongyang was filled with waves of envy and jealousy. If that son of a gun recovered and came back, wouldn't he get promoted? No, absolutely not!

Just then, Zhang Tianbao called him, and he was representing Minister Luo Tianlin!
