Zhang Tianbao's expression became even more solemn on the spot as he nodded earnestly, "Yes, Xiao Liu is still worth cultivating. The premise is that you can mediate the conflict between him and Zhang Hongyang, which is the crux of the issue."

This secretary had followed Luo Tianlin for many years and naturally knew his master's way of thinking.

When Luo Tianlin spoke to that extent and was able to say it like that, it indicated that deep down, he was indeed leaning towards cultivating Liu Zhizhong.

Compared to Luo Shuxiu's fate, the graduation results from the Party School's Youth Class were nothing. Moreover, Liu Zhizhong was indeed outstanding and remarkable.

This wave of heroically rescuing the female driver even added many points to Liu Zhizhong's public image.

Luo Tianlin nodded at once, picking up the bank card and flipping it between his fingers, "Hmm, this kid is really worth cultivating. Did you know? There's actually only fifty cents in this card."

"Ah? Only fifty cents?" Zhang Tianbao was stunned, unable to imagine what Liu Zhizhong's expression would be like if he really took the card and checked the account to find only fifty cents.

Luo Tianlin displayed a somewhat smug expression, "Yes, just fifty cents. Having you handle this matter was also a test for Liu Zhizhong. It surprised me; he passed, treating money as if it were nothing!"

"Yes, haha, treating money as if it were nothing... Minister Luo has his unique ways in selecting and understanding people!" Zhang Tianbao couldn't help but express his admiration, feeling as if he'd learned something indeed.

"In this world, people who can treat money as if it were nothing are generally of two kinds. One kind has the ability, genuinely doesn't care for money, but cares for something else, like their life values; the other kind lacks the ability, can't earn money, is envious of others while mocking themselves, believing they are above it all. Clearly, Liu Zhizhong belongs to the former."

Zhang Tianbao nodded, "Hmm, Minister, you're right, Tianbao understands and has learned."

"Alright then, we need to prepare to cultivate Liu Zhizhong. You handle this matter!"

"Okay, please rest assured, Minister, I'll follow up with the local authorities in Yangzhou to expedite the process for Liu Zhizhong's new position..."

"No, that's not what I mean."

"Ah? Minister, you... I'm confused, do you have any ingenious plans?" Zhang Tianbao was a bit flustered, good at reading expressions as he was, he couldn't fathom his master's intentions.

Luo Tianlin's expression turned stern, and after lighting up a cigarette, he said, "Tianbao, you've stayed by my side long enough and have been tempered quite a bit. You're also quite familiar with the organization's procedure now, right?"

"Yes, it's your teachings, Minister, that brought great benefit to Tianbao!" Zhang Tianbao finally began to sense something.

After all, when a leader talks to you like this, they are preparing to put you in a position of autonomy.

Sure enough, Luo Tianlin said, "Let's skip the pleasantries. You came from poverty and have struggled step by step to today's deputy director-level, which is already a great success. The Provincial Organization Department is no longer suitable for your upward mobility. Go down to Yangzhou and take up the post of the head of the City Organization Department. The matter of cultivating Liu Zhizhong, just keep an eye on it. Not too fast, not too slow, just manage the balance with the Yangzhou Zhang Family properly."

Finally, Zhang Tianbao realized the full picture, thinking, what a move by Minister Luo Tianlin! He so smoothly tossed this hot potato over!

Luo Tianlin still had no control over balancing the relationship between Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Hongyang, and now this task had been pushed onto him! Clever play indeed!

But what could Zhang Tianbao say? To go to Yangzhou as the head of the City Organization Department, which meant being a member of the standing committee of the City Committee, a local bigwig—well, that would do! Although his job implementation would be influenced by the Yangzhou Zhang Family, what else could be done? He couldn't simply refuse, could he?

So, Zhang Tianbao quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for cultivating me, Minister. Tianbao will work hard in his new post, repay the organization's trust, and not let you down, not let the organization down!"
