In Liu Zhizhong's following speech, the focus still remains on the construction of Party conduct and integrity, with an emphasis on firmly cracking down on cliques and factionalism within the county.

Particularly for county-level committee and government leaders, any private gathering of more than three people must be reported in advance to the County Disciplinary Committee, listing attendees, locations, liquor brands, etc., and must not exceed standards.

Once it's verified that there is any false reporting, concealment, extravagance and waste, hospitality, gift-giving, or small group profiteering, punishments range from a warning within the Party committee to countywide notification, and even strict handling by the State Disciplinary Inspection Committee.

Moreover, Liu Zhizhong also noted the specifications for weddings and funerals, and that no more than three leaders should sit at the same table at any public wedding or funeral banquets.

Zhang Hongyang, the pseudo emotional management master, once again collapsed inwardly, cursing and exclaiming. His anger was intense.

Just as he was about to start forming cliques and his networking dinners were about to begin, Liu Zhizhong pulled this move!

And this decision was surprisingly unanimously passed, recorded into the meeting minutes, and plans for execution and regulations would be formed. Moreover, Zhang Hongyang had to grit his teeth silently and raise his hand in agreement.

Xie Peng was also seething with anger. This bastard Liu Zhizhong, had he caught wind of something in advance?

Once this document was passed, Liu Zhizhong said that he had been away from Shanan for a long time and was indeed grateful for everyone's hard work. Tonight, everyone would have a working dinner at the County Committee cafeteria. He wanted to drink some cheap local liquor with everyone to express thanks. In summary: Liu Zhizhong would treat everyone at the County Committee without exceeding standards, but he would pay for it himself.

Zhang Hongyang completely collapsed; his plans once again fell through, and he still had to attend Liu Zhizhong's dinner invite!

Others who had been secretly invited by him to the County Committee leadership could only shake their heads in private, thinking never mind, Secretary Liu was right, there's no need to attend County Head Zhang's dinners.

After the meeting, everyone truly gathered at the County Committee cafeteria. The private rooms were still there.

Leaders sat in one private room, secretaries in another, having a simple working dinner with local liquor, just like that.

Although it was following the standard for meals to invite, the food at the County Committee cafeteria was still decent, mainly because the ingredients came from less polluted mountainous areas, all of good quality. The chef here used to be a top chef, specially hired by Mo Dayou, though his salary had decreased a lot, he still enjoyed the job, so the dishes were well-cooked and tasty.

At this table, Liu Zhizhong indulged in drinks, toasting everyone, discussing work and life with each. He was adept at handling situations and was particularly steady in dealing with people.

Zhang Hongyang imitated Liu Zhizhong's manner, managing satisfactorily, but inwardly he wasn't at peace. It had been ages since he had gourmet delicacies, leaving his palate dull. Tonight's situation was messed up by Liu Zhizhong. This bastard really isn't human!

Liu Zhizhong, on the other hand, performed exceptionally well, taking down all the leaders including Zhang Hongyang.

Hamuer, usually a good drinker, assumed Secretary Liu's capacity was just half decent, but who knew Liu Zhizhong could drink more than three pounds, directly felling everyone present, truly remarkable.

In Shanan, there have always been sayings about heroes on the liquor field and sages among people. Undoubtedly, Liu Zhizhong, with his drinking, dominated the county's core leadership...
