After speaking, Hamuer raised his glass, looking as if he was congratulating Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong smiled indifferently, nodded, clinked his glass with Hamuer's, and drank it all.

After putting down the glass, Liu Zhizhong personally poured Hamuer some wine and said, "It's not really a promotion, just going to be the Executive Vice Mayor."

"What?"

Hamuer was so excited that the peanuts he was holding with his chopsticks fell back onto the plate, and he quickly put down the chopsticks.

"No way, my Secretary Liu, that's Vice Mayor Vice Hall-level now? That's... too big a leap! Unrealistic!"

"Yes, you can't take too big a step, or you'll pull a hip. I'm just going to be the Executive Vice Mayor of a county-level city, only set for Standard Level."

Hamuer finally relaxed, nodded, "That's still pretty good! It seems you're still being valued. Which county-level city is it?"

"Daxi City, you know?"

"Haha, yes, yes, last summer, I went to Shennong Grand Canyon with my wife and kids to play! Didn't expect you'd be going there to be Vice Mayor, congratulations again!"

Hamuer raised another glass and drank it all.

After putting down the glass, while pouring wine, he said, "You're going to be the Executive Vice Mayor, so who will take over as the Shanan County Party Secretary? Someone will parachute down from above, right? After all, such a good position, such a promising prospect, too many people want it and fit for it."

Hamuer, of course, knows very well that right now, Shanan County is at a time of showing results. Whoever becomes the County Party Secretary is like saving three to five years of struggle at Standard Level, getting a big advantage.

But Liu Zhizhong calmly said, "No one is going to take advantage, and no one will parachute from above; instead, County Mayor Zhang will directly step up."

"Damn... this f******..." Hamuer, usually gentle and rarely swearing, "this f****** isn't scientific? What virtues and abilities does Zhang Hongyang have? Just recently almost popped Meng Province's eyes, and he can still take your position? I don't agree! Not convinced!"

Having had some drinks, Hamuer really wasn't drunk but was emotional.

Liu Zhizhong, however, was very calm and steady, said, "Secretary Ha, it's okay, no need to be so excited. You're always calm; you're my most admired local cadre in Shanan. County Mayor Zhang can take my position; his qualifications are there, feasible; his connections, in the Provincial City, the Zhang Family is also quite good, so it makes sense. Rest assured, when I go to Daxi City, the organization will surely give a green light, you must come with me. Once there, be the Deputy Director of the City Government Office, still working with me, isn't that great?"

Knowing he could go with Liu Zhizhong, Hamuer was, of course, very happy.

Moreover, Daxi City is only a two-hour drive to the Provincial City, making it more convenient for him to reunite with his wife and kids. When he has time, they can even spend weekends together!

"Thank you, Secretary Liu! My second half of life, Hamuer is definitely following you! Haha... come, this glass is a toast to my eternal leader!"

With the glass raised, Liu Zhizhong felt a bit embarrassed: "Secretary Ha, listen to what you're saying... that's a bit out of line! After experiencing the work in Daxi City, you still have to move towards practical leadership positions. At your age, it's just time to start going higher, I can't delay you too much!"
