That day, as usual, Liu Zhizhong had a video conference with his comrades in Shanan, listening to Zhang Hongyang's work report and observing his proper demeanor, which was quite satisfying to him. Follow current novᴇls on novelꜰire.net

Since Liu Zhizhong started "recovering," Shanan had resolutely adhered to his directives before his departure, with everything decided democratically. Zhang Hongyang had no authority to flaunt, leaving him rather frustrated.

Originally, Zhang Hongyang wanted to form alliances and ultimately marginalize Liu Zhizhong, but found it unfeasible. With all the maneuvers, Liu Zhizhong's staunch Party followers ended up sidelining Zhang Hongyang, the County Mayor.

Liu Zhizhong, in a top-tier private room at the National Hospital of Singapore, sat in the recovery room, dressed in a plain hospital gown with stripes, perfectly fitting the role.

On his chest was a highly advanced myocardial magnetic therapy device, which could treat illnesses or serve as wellness care, costing as much as ten thousand yuan per session!

Liu Zhizhong reclined there, finding the magnetic therapy device quite comfortable, while also connecting with the Shanan County Party Standing Committee Meeting Room.

With this connection, the official video conference commenced.

He smiled and greeted everyone, who warmly reciprocated, inquiring about his health.

Zhang Hongyang, of course, was no exception, and was the first to be greeted by Liu Zhizhong, also the first to express great concern over Liu Zhizhong's recovery.

After these courtesies, as per usual practice, it was Zhang Hongyang's turn to report on the county's work.

Holding back his anger like a pupil, Zhang Hongyang had to earnestly report on his work and other matters.

Whenever Liu Zhizhong interjected with opinions, Zhang Hongyang had to stop and listen obediently.

Zhang Hongyang had come to appreciate Liu Zhizhong's authority in Shanan, but there was nothing he could do but face it and endure.

After Zhang Hongyang's report, Liu Zhizhong suddenly inquired, "County Head Zhang, how is our county doing in attracting investment? You made promises back then. I noticed you haven't mentioned progress today; are there any difficulties?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongyang was troubled, shaking his head, "Secretary Liu, this matter is becoming increasingly difficult. Attracting investment is known to be challenging. In recent years, the economy has been sluggish; without government subsidies, investments mostly lead to losses, and no one dares to invest! The last project I wanted to bring in, well... my comrades here voted it down democratically."

Hey, this guy, at this point, he's already complaining and shifting the blame.

Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "County Head Zhang has worked hard. Comrades are following rules and principles, which is correct. Listening to you, it seems the work on attracting investment still needs improvement?"

Zhang Hongyang felt embarrassed, lowering his head, "Well... yes, it needs a lot of improvement! But, recently, the Central Hospital has been applying to expand, needing more staff, more equipment, but..."

He couldn't continue, because this concerns funding, and he was supposed to secure funds; however, regarding the hospital issue, there was a need for further expenditure, sigh...

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Hmm, I understand. Shanan's medical conditions are indeed poor; necessary expenses must be made! But in terms of medical development, I actually have an idea recently, which could also be an opportunity. Let's discuss with our comrades to see if it's feasible?"
