Because Liu Zhizhong's return flight to the country was scheduled for after the lunch gathering, while the Dongguang State Party and government cadre meeting was held in the morning. It was timed just right!

On the Gulfstream private jet, communication was unrestricted. There weren't so many limitations!

Liu Zhizhong saw this news and got very excited, secretly feeling overjoyed inside.

With Lu Yuqing moving into a position of real power, the future sure looks promising.

In the future, having a directly connected leader in the state would make it even better to do practical work for the Shanan people.

Doing practical things for the people, what simple and unpretentious words? But to achieve this and fulfill it is incredibly difficult!

Is it difficult? Yes!

Is it really that difficult? It's not, it just depends on your dedication!

And in Dongguang State, a meeting was held and a banquet was held for Lu Yuqing's arrival.

This time the banquet, influenced by Liu Zhizhong's Shanan model, was indeed a simple grand feast.

Zhang Hongyang, as an authoritative cadre of Dongguang State, of course, attended the meeting, feeling a bit excited inside.

No matter what, at least Lu Yuqing was his second aunt! Although his second uncle was irresponsible and ended up ruining himself, the relationship still exists!

As a senior, Lu Yuqing would have to consider many things for him, Zhang Hongyang, right?

So, during the luncheon, Zhang Hongyang brazenly brought a glass of ordinary baijiu to Lu Yuqing's table. Of course, the bigwigs from the state and Minister Lu from the provincial office were there. After a general toast, he then toasted each one individually, his words were quite decent. Of course, he gave a special toast to Lu Yuqing alone!

Naturally, the bigwigs headed by Minister Lu at the provincial office recognized and inevitably encouraged Zhang Hongyang for his work in Shanan, which made him feel quite pleased.

After this separate toast, taking advantage of Lu Yuqing's trip to the bathroom, Zhang Hongyang waited outside.

When Lu Yuqing came out, Zhang Hongyang shamelessly approached, softly saying, "Second Aunt, congratulations! Haha... In the future, please look after Hongyang a bit more! Never thought in my wildest dreams you'd come here to lead us forward!"

Lu Yuqing, having had some wine, had a slightly flushed face, exuding extreme allure.

However, she gave a slight smile and, with a touch of female vice-bureaucratic authority, said, "Comrade Hongyang, don't call me 'second aunt,' that's all in the past. I don't want to mention it anymore. You're growing quickly in Shanan County, with Liu Zhizhong's help, and that's commendable. I hope in the future, you'll cooperate more and argue less with Secretary Liu, to make Shanan's work even better. I can't talk about special treatment, just following the rules. Under Secretary Liu's leadership, having the rules from Shanan extended to Dongguang State is good, and we should all follow the rules."

Zhang Hongyang looked dumbfounded, feeling like his eager warmth was met with his second aunt's coldness!

His mouth dropped open, leaving him awkward and speechless for a while.

His heart was sour. Damn, what kind of second aunt is this? She doesn't care about old ties and keeps mentioning Secretary Liu. Sigh... Liu Zhizhong, this bastard, truly has won people over!

Lu Yuqing said to him again, "Comrade Hongyang, I still have some drinks to attend to, so I won't say much. I hope you remember my words today, and continue to work hard to create even greater achievements."

With that, she turned and walked away...
