Zhang Tianbao, of course, listened to Luo Tianlin and conveyed the intentions of his own master.

"Hongyang, Minister Luo went to Tiandu for a meeting, he's quite busy. There are some things he asked me to discuss with you. Liu Zhizhong was really lucky this time, he saved Miss Luo! As for your personal grudges with him, Minister Luo's intention is to write them off and not to get entangled anymore."

Zhang Hongyang felt uncomfortable but helpless, he said, "Ah, Brother Tianbao, if that's what Minister Luo thinks, I can't do much, can I? However, this guy is no good, he once hurt me badly. There are things I don't want to mention. The hatred in my heart, I can't let go of my whole life. When I reached the provincial city, I would definitely give Minister Luo great face and follow his arrangements. But Liu Zhizhong is back in local office, does that mean local conflicts are normal now? Is it unavoidable? Brother, just tell me straight, has Minister Luo become his backer now?"

Zhang Tianbao knew Zhang Hongyang still intended to not let go of Liu Zhizhong. He chuckled and said, "Hongyang, you're overthinking it. Liu Zhizhong has saved Miss Luo's life, and Minister Luo is already arranging repayment. As for background support, that's quite unlikely, you understand?"

"Uh, I get it, I get it! Minister Luo deals with things as they come, separates issues clearly! But, today I can only reply that if Liu Zhizhong behaves and listens, doesn't bother me, I'll ignore him. But if he provokes me, I won't be polite, alright?"

Zhang Tianbao was silent for a moment before saying, "Local conflicts are normalized, unavoidable, you handle it yourself! Liu Zhizhong's future won't be very big, far less than yours, so don't be too harsh, it's better to think bigger for one's stature."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"It's not about listening to me, it's about listening to Minister Luo."

"Got it. But Liu Zhizhong earned such great merit this time, and his popularity is high online, once he's healed and returns to Yangzhou, isn't he likely to be promoted, and the organization might act like they're going to cultivate him prominently?"

Zhang Tianbao laughed and said, "Well... that's the normal procedure. Liu Zhizhong, going forward, should be the deputy district chief in Dongjiang District! However... perhaps that's as far as he goes. This so-called special cultivation, what it turns into in the end, depends not on the organization but on the individual!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hongyang was thrilled, "Uh huh, Brother Tianbao, I understand, hehe, I get it…"

After ending the call, that punk Zhang Hongyang was pretty happy! Because he was already planning his next move.

Deputy District Chief in Dongjiang District, huh?

Ah, isn't my sister-in-law Zhao Yan there working as the vice deputy district chief right behind the second deputy district chief?

My cousin's daughter Du Man is also there serving as a deputy district chief, ranked just behind Zhao Yan.

This damn Liu Zhizhong is going to be deputy district chief, huh? Hehe, then how about me becoming the district chief?

I have to suppress him, hehe...

Zhang Hongyang truly gave up the idea of making Liu Zhizhong disabled for life in a car accident. Going to Dongjiang District as the district chief and pressing down hard on Liu Zhizhong, wouldn't that feel great?

Besides, I could also get close to my sister-in-law Zhao Yan, and if the chance comes, hook up with her. Awesome!

Indeed, that very afternoon, the newly confirmed Mayor Du Yuesheng called Zhang Hongyang, asking where this nephew, who just graduated from the Youth Class at the Party School, wanted to go.

Zhang Hongyang firmly requested to go to Dongjiang District as the district chief, which would also allow him to look after his cousin Du Man.

When Du Yuesheng heard this, his eyes lit up, "Hongyang, what are you doing? Liu Zhizhong is being transferred from the City Committee office to work there as the deputy district chief."

"Uncle, that's exactly why I want to go there! Both he and his spouse are vice district chiefs, and I need to oversee their work! Liu Zhizhong has made such a splash this time, he's shooting for the stars, shouldn't I crush him?"

"Ha ha, ha ha…" Du Yuesheng chuckled ruefully several times before saying, "I'm really worried you two will start fighting there. Liu Zhizhong is quite cunning; you need to be more careful!"

"Cunning? Ha, am I afraid of him? Impossible, huh..."
