Zhang Hongyang stood there, feeling utterly bewildered, sensing the cold of winter.

He felt like he had embarrassed himself, hitting a wall. His heart also felt a bit cold.

After all, this wasn't the era of the Yangzhou Zhang Family anymore; this was Dongguang State, sigh...

Damn it, I've worked myself to the bone like a dog in Shanan, achieved some results, and yet, damn it, I'm still living under the shadow of Liu Zhizhong's influence!

My God, how long must I endure this?

For a moment, his ill intent towards Liu Zhizhong surged up again...

Just as the banquet was about to end, Liu Zhizhong called Zhang Hongyang, saying that the plane would land at Dongguangzhou Airport at 3 PM, bringing back the team related to Xinlan Hospital's operations, needing some arrangements for their reception.

Zhang Hongyang almost exploded with anger on the spot. Damn you, Liu Zhizhong, you son of a bitch, not coming back early or late, but choosing to return on Lu Yuqing's first day in office? Are you showing off or seeking reward and praise?

What else could he do?

Zhang Hongyang could only politely agree with Liu Zhizhong, even appearing very enthusiastic, repeatedly welcoming Secretary Liu back early from recuperation!

Afterward, Zhang Hongyang had to organize the reception at the airport. Meanwhile, about the issue of foreign-invested healthcare, all these years, aside from having one Yalan Hospital in the Provincial City, who else in various cities within the province has managed to accomplish this? Furthermore, Xinlan Hospital's level and capabilities are above Yalan!

This is indeed a great achievement, a need for attention and good publicity!

So, while Minister Lu, the Executive Deputy Minister of the Provincial Committee, was present, Zhang Hongyang quickly went over to his table and reported this matter to Minister Lu and the bigwigs of the state.

Goodness, this report was like dropping a stone into a thousand waves, getting all the bigwigs excited.

Minister Lu was the first to speak, banging on the table, "Great, great, Comrade Liu Zhizhong truly is a good comrade of ours! The recuperation time approved by the organization wasn't fully used, but he came back early, not forgetting the revolutionary work, with his heart set on Shanan! Bringing Xinlan Hospital back with him is a great deed and a great joy! I won't say more; during the time Comrade Liu Zhizhong wasn't on duty, Shanan had no secretary, and the democratic management method was applied appropriately, which is also very clever! Comrades, Liu Zhizhong is young and promising, someone we should vigorously cultivate! The time for the plane isn't very early today, so why don't we all disperse, get ready, and, following the high standards for receiving foreign guests, head to the airport to prepare for the welcome?"

These words got everyone responding, praising Liu Zhizhong.

Zhang Hongyang felt completely awkward, depressed, and envious to the point of fury!

Damn it, Liu Zhizhong gets all the good things, sigh...

The State Committee Secretary even told the State Committee Propaganda Minister to immediately prepare a press release. Such content must be widely and prominently publicized, learning from Comrade Liu Zhizhong, cheering for the healthcare development of Shanan!

Subsequently, Lu Yuqing's inauguration banquet quickly wrapped up. The entire State Committee and State Government sprang into action, needing to receive Liu Zhizhong and his team at the airport with the high standards of receiving foreign guests.

The primary standard is that the roads from the State Committee and State Government to the airport must all be secured by armed police, with the public security system clearing and patrolling the way...
