Liu Zhizhong was also stunned, exchanging glances with Hamuer.

What's going on?

Has County Mayor Zhang really run out of options?

Is he seeking advice from Liu Zhizhong now?

Hamuer burst into laughter, a kind of reassuring laughter on behalf of Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong chuckled silently too, a bit surprised, saying, "County Mayor Zhang, what you said… I'm struggling to grasp the main point here!"

"Sigh... Liu Zhizhong, I truly am out of options, I don't know what to do anymore. At home, I don't dare to speak; with Minister Luo, Uncle Luo, I also don't dare to speak; damn it, now it's just me, a run-down Standard Level county mayor, what can I even do? The situation in Meng Province is unclear, my future is also uncertain, mustn't I seek your help for advice? What should I do, sigh… for the sake of our years of friendship, with your broad perspective and generous spirit, help me, think of a plan?"

These words were spoken quite sincerely, truly reflecting Zhang Hongyang's current situation.

Under the immense pressure of the future, he really is scared, almost losing his direction.

Liu Zhizhong murmured a sound, just about to say something, when Zhang Hongyang immediately said, "Secretary Liu, hold on a moment, our State Committee Secretary is calling, I know it won't be anything good, sigh… Let me take this first! I'll call you back afterward."

With that said, he directly ended the call to take the State Committee Secretary's call.

As expected, he got a round of complaints and criticism, feeling very uncomfortable!

Just as that ended, Zhang Zhengchang in Yangzhou already knew his son had made a huge mistake, and he called too.

Zhang Hongyang didn't dare to answer Old Secretary Zhang's call at all, even actively hanging up.

This incident was indeed a major screw-up for the Zhang Family, a huge embarrassment, sigh…

He could only text Old Man Zhang saying, "Dad, I was wrong, I'm trying to find a way to make amends, please trust me."

Sigh…

With this action, Zhang Zhengchang was a bit comforted. This son still shows progress, not as panicked.

If it were the old days, making such a mess, surely he would trouble the Zhang Family Clan to settle it.

Now, he learned to bear it himself, not bad!

But little did he know, Zhang Hongyang's way of bearing it was actually seeking advice from Liu Zhizhong.

Zhang Zhengchang replied, "Progressive, responsible, calm in a crisis, my son can be taught! Don't worry, depending on Meng Province's injury situation we'll talk more! The Zhang family, even if we lose everything, will see this resolved for you!"

Zhang Hongyang felt a bit warm inside but responded firmly, "Dad, thank you for understanding, but I still want to first rely on myself to resolve it."

Xie Peng, on the side, listening to these voice messages, was also a bit depressed. Isn't Brother Yang too stubborn? For this situation, without family backing, no money, no manpower, how to resolve it?

Turning around, Zhang Hongyang called Liu Zhizhong again.

Liu Zhizhong picked up the phone again in front of Hamuer.

"County Mayor Zhang, what did the State Committee Secretary say?"

"What else could it be? I got scolded and criticized! Everything waits until after Meng Province's surgery to discuss, advising me to prepare for the worst, might even resign or something. If I'm transferred, there probably won't be a good place to go."

"Hmm, then just wait for Meng Province's surgery to be completed, understand the specific situation before discussing further!"

"Uh… Liu Zhizhong, is this the advice and suggestion you're giving me?" Zhang Hongyang was a bit stunned.

"What else?"

Liu Zhizhong said lightly, then took a sip of tea.

"You... I…"
