Because of the cooperation between Xinlan Hospital and Shanan County People's Hospital, regarding site selection, structural design, and other aspects, Wen Bao did not immediately return to Singapore after signing the agreement but stayed for a long-term residency.

The architectural designers and other team members from Singapore all flew over on a private jet to work onsite, proceeding step-by-step under a tight schedule.

On Liu Zhizhong's side, he actively promoted another matter.

That was the project to build a domestic first-class private foreign-funded public joint venture hospital in Shanan County. This initiative was already quite groundbreaking. To facilitate patients from all over the country to seek medical treatment, Liu Zhizhong, leading the Shanan County Committee and County Government, decided to embark on a project for a regional branch airport in Shanan County and submitted it for sequential approval upward.

In this process, naturally, Liu Zhizhong took the lead, and Zhang Hongyang could only play a supporting role, running errands and doing the dirty and tiring work, haha...

The county had to run to Dongguang City, the city had to run to the Provincial City, and the Provincial City had to go to the relevant civil aviation management departments in Tiandu. This was a long-term project with a massive investment, careful site selection, and compliant legal tendering.

Therefore, after the hospital project was signed and implemented, both Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Hongyang focused primarily on the construction of the branch airport, leading to them not frequently being in the county or at home.

Hamuer, following Liu Zhizhong's footsteps, also ran here and there, rarely staying at home. Whenever they reached the Provincial City, he could still briefly gather with his wife and son, always dedicated to his work.

As the chief steward of the County Committee, Hamuer indeed demonstrated his talent for overall management, having studied this field during his university years.

Sometimes, he could remotely command from afar and keep the work of the County Committee courtyard well-organized, sparing Liu Zhizhong from excessive care, making things quite convenient. Being the County Party Secretary who lets matters run their course isn't bad, after all, it wasn't as if he was sidelined!

Of course, sometimes, the County Party Committee Standing Committee meetings were held online, an innovative approach, unconstrained by tradition, always making Shanan County shine.

Wen Bao still lived at Liu Zhizhong's house, actually not managing many affairs, mainly keeping an eye on the progress of projects under his charge.

In his daily life, he cooked for himself, went running or fishing in the rural areas of Shanan, chatted on video with his girlfriend in Singapore, and enjoyed a carefree life.

One day, Wen Bao was fishing by a small river.

This small river was less than three hundred meters from the rented courtyard of Liu Zhizhong, easily reachable by foot.

There weren't many people fishing in Shanan around here.

Everyone was busy with construction and work; there wasn't much time for time-consuming activities like fishing.

In the past, the people of Shanan were all about eating, drinking, and having fun, not very interested in fishing. They preferred fish from large rivers and delicacies from the mountains, so the small river was well protected, with abundant fish resources.

Wen Bao could occasionally catch some big fish or rare fish, all for eating. His cooking skills were exceptional too.

The water here was very clean, with snowmelt flowing down from the mountains, making it ideal for nourishing fish.

Wen Bao had just caught a nearly two-pound local specialty fish called the "Donkey Face Fish," which had an incredibly strong flavor.

After putting the fish into the fish holder and casting the next hopeful line, he inadvertently turned his head and saw Xie Peng with a large box, coming down the path beside Liu Zhizhong's house, heading towards the river.

Wen Bao frowned slightly. What was he here for?

Looking at the box, could it be a gift?

Heh, domestic officials...
