After speaking, Zhang Hongyang couldn't suppress his emotions at all and started to chuckle mischievously, laughing in a rather conniving way.

Beside him, Xie Peng was also following along, almost on the verge of bursting into a wild laugh.

The master and servant duo could easily imagine Liu Zhizhong with a thoroughly frustrated expression.

But who would have guessed, Liu Zhizhong smiled indifferently and said, "County Mayor Zhang's emotional management is still somewhat lacking! Saying you're a petty man who's gained success is not far off at all!"

Zhang Hongyang really enjoyed this, "Heh, today I indeed became a petty man who's gained success, no way around it! Sometimes emotions don't need management; they just need to be released! Heh heh..."

Liu Zhizhong continued to smile calmly and said, "Alright then, just go ahead and release it as you wish, I have no problems here. However, please don't forget, there's an old saying that's quite fitting!"

"Go on, I've gotten used to your political lessons, please continue! Secretary Liu, let's begin!!! Haha..."

Liu Zhizhong said, "The old saying goes, 'A barking dog eventually poops, a brash man eventually faces issues.' So, please, County Mayor Zhang, don't get too cocky, make sure to take good care of Governor Meng. If something unfortunate happens, don't blame it on me!"

"You... damn it... no pearls of wisdom falling from a dog's mouth! I'm telling you, there won't be any issues on my side, no issues at all... hey hey hey..."

Zhang Hongyang, though angry, pointed to the phone and said, laughing at Xie Peng, "This bastard can't take it, he hung up, haha..."

Xie Peng laughed and said, "Brother Yang, making Liu Zhizhong so pissed that he hangs up voluntarily is a kind of success too! Your performance has really given me a sense of achievement, haha..."

"Absolutely! It's been a long, long time since we've seen that bastard look so embarrassed. That damn dog can't seem to figure things out, haha... Come on, let's go meet Governor Meng. Today, we have to serve him well, a big future lies ahead!"

"Alright, alright, let's go, let's go..."

"..."

The master and servant duo walked one behind the other, basking in their petty triumph with a spring in their step, feeling on top of the world...

And Liu Zhizhong, at his home, merely smiled indifferently.

Although feeling a bit dejected, having lost face this time in front of Zhang Hongyang, it didn't really affect his mood much.

Having been entangled with Zhang Hongyang for so long, ever since he rose to success, when has Zhang Hongyang not suffered a great loss? Fine, let him gain a small advantage, pick up a small benefit, otherwise, if Zhang Hongyang keeps losing, he might get driven to madness, which wouldn't be nice, haha...

These days, Liu Zhizhong had also been accompanying leaders on inspections, feeling a bit worn out, so today he decided to fully relax for a day!

So, he went to find Hamuer, and the two of them skipped going to the County Committee and County Government Office, directly having breakfast, then headed to Liu Zhizhong's exclusive fishing spot to get started!

The river behind Liu Zhizhong's house wasn't designated as a fishing development area, making it his exclusive domain, a form of special privilege!

Being the County Party Secretary, Liu Zhizhong had made great contributions to Shanan, enjoying a bit of such privilege, and nobody really said anything.

Of course, this small river wasn't particularly large, and being in the outskirts of the county town, compared to other wild fishing resources, it really wasn't worth mentioning. However, in front of those fishing enthusiasts nationwide, this small river was considered a top-tier resource.

Not designating it as a development area also took environmental considerations into account. Within 15 kilometers of the county town, there was no wild fishing business development, management was exceptionally strict, with river patrol drones flying at any moment, hehe...
