Liu Zhizhong was taken aback, and suddenly became serious, sitting upright in the driver's seat.

"Brother Xuan, have you heard any rumors?"

"Come on, you brain, why are you sometimes a genius and sometimes confused? Didn't I just say, there are many people who think your utopian projects in Shanan are contrary to the mainstream, and that's unfeasible."

Liu Zhizhong fell silent, nodded, and said, "Do they want to shoot down the leading bird?"

"Others are watching for you to make a mistake! You've made Shanan so good, don't you think no one is envious or jealous?"

"This..."

"With so many Minority Autonomous Counties and Autonomous Prefectures nationwide, how can others survive? Aren't others under a lot of pressure? Externally they're watching you, internally, wouldn't there be ill-intentioned people within your party and government team watching you?"

"Well..."

"Amid internal and external troubles, you're just a mistake away from having your halo dimmed."

"Hiss~~~~" Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath, realizing the seriousness of the situation, "Then, in that case, I should keep a low profile, or apply for a transfer?"

"A transfer isn't necessary yet, keeping a low profile is necessary. Think about it, Shanan now just has the expressway, airport, and hydropower station left, right? Just do these well, and don't think about other things, okay?"

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Alright, makes sense, I'll take it easy."

"Take it easy, my foot, brother, don't think about it. Once when these three major projects are either completed or underway, you really should be transferred. Of course, if you were to transfer now, the higher-ups would certainly be pleased and would give you a better position. However, I think there's no need to transfer now, right?"

"Yeah, transferring now, how could I bear to leave the people of Shanan?"

"Come on, you're being as formal as if it were true..."

"It really is, haha..."

"..."

Talking casually along the way, Liu Zhizhong could feel Qian Xuan's brotherly concern.

Arriving at Shuangxin Courtyard, sigh~~~

Liu Zhizhong felt as if he was in a different world; it had been a long time since he returned to this secluded personal retreat, an independent kingdom of his own.

No more Fishing Man to disturb, only a world that belonged to him. The military restricted area set-up was a brilliant move.

Moreover, due to the unique geography of Shuangxin Valley, it was as if it were spring here.

My goodness, the Spring Festival had just passed not too long ago, yet the spring here seemed to have already arrived.

The trees are budding early, and the mountains and fields are beautifully wild.

Shuangxin Courtyard, Liu Zhizhong originally thought, had already grown full of weeds since it had been unattended for so long.

However, the yard was still neatly organized, flowers and plants arranged in order, under the eaves of the building, clean and tidy.

Faced with all these, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but say, "Who has been regularly helping me clean and take care of this place?"

Qian Xuan smiled and said, "The courtyard was built by the Zheng Family for you, who else could it be? Your godfather, of course, he's really good to you!"

"Uh, this..."

Liu Zhizhong was momentarily stunned but felt a slight twinge of irony in his heart, "Brother Xuan, aren't we saying we can't figure out the intentions of the smiling tiger? How can you say he's good to me, the way you're saying it sounds so absolute!"

Qian Xuan chuckled, with a hint of mystery, "Let's go set the bait first, then come back to get food, and we can eat, drink, and chat about your godfather at lunch, how about that?"

Liu Zhizhong felt that there was something more to these words!

Indeed, is this kind of talk only possible in such a secluded personal domain?
