Xiang Mingdong spoke very skillfully, expressing the intention of the secretary.

Liu Zhizhong, you're quite capable, shining brightly at today's Standing Committee meeting, but you're not as good as you were in Shanan!

He knows that Daxi's economy is like this, and further breakthroughs and aggressiveness are difficult. But he just wants to say this, putting the burden of economic development on Liu Zhizhong.

As for how Liu Zhizhong will handle it, or if he doesn't, that's his business. As the Mayor, Xiang Mingdong sets the requirements this way.

This way, everyone is looking at Liu Zhizhong again, knowing the secretary is setting obstacles for him.

Liu Zhizhong, with a chuckle, how could he not understand? Xiang Mingdong, this guy, is a sly one, pressing him quietly!

Mayor Guan Xun also chimed in: "Hmm, Secretary Xiang makes a valid point! Daxi's economy is indeed at a bottleneck now, if we want a breakthrough, we need a young talent like Mayor Liu! Thinking about Shanan's development, we truly envy it! Mayor Liu, come on, be more aggressive and guide Daxi's economic development towards a new path!"

At the moment, Liu Zhizhong said: "Secretary Xiang and Mayor Guan's concern for the city's economic development indeed puts a lot of pressure on me! This talk of guiding a new path surely flatters me. Daxi's situation is markedly different from Shanan's. So... for now, speaking frankly and not being deceitful, I still don't have a clear direction. Just accomplishing the aspects I've mentioned above already requires quite a bit of time and effort."

Xiang Mingdong and Guan Xun, seeing that Liu Zhizhong didn't have any good tricks, felt satisfied. No matter how new and sharp you are, when you come to Daxi City, you still have no solution, do you? Haha...

Xiang Mingdong said: "Alright then, let's follow Mayor Liu's idea, maintaining and stabilizing our city's economy will do. The mountains and waters of Daxi are beautiful, and the people even more so; enjoying work and life here is also fine! Haha..."

With him laughing, everyone followed with a laugh.

After the Standing Committee meeting ended, there was a customary dinner. This standard was much higher than what Liu Zhizhong had in Shanan.

Is Liu Zhizhong going?

He has to go!

No matter what, after the three-month investigation ended, officially returning to the City Government to work, it is indeed necessary to connect with the Standing Committee members and to have a meal together is appropriate.

As for private dinners, forget about it, he wouldn't go even if invited!

From his secretary, Cao Dingjun, Liu Zhizhong learned that in private, Xiang Mingdong and the others gather every three days for a small meeting, every seven days for a big one, living extravagantly, and they even have elaborate setups like people·body·spread for enjoyment!

Liu Zhizhong, without conflicts of interest with these people, had no desire to meddle with these trivial matters. After all, the City Disciplinary Committee Secretary is aligned with Xiang Mingdong and his group; throughout Huayang City, most are from the Xiang Family, including the Disciplinary Inspection Committee; let's not mention, many important leaders in Huayang City are former subordinates and disciples of the old secretary Li Tanglu, sigh~~~~

The goal Liu Zhizhong set for himself is: in Daxi City, not to follow the tide, but to go along with the market, not to completely merge with them, but to show a decent appearance; in economic governance, to pass inspection, and of course, to achieve some breakthroughs.

After the group dinner, Liu Zhizhong returned to his office. Although he drank some wine, he remained quite clear-headed.

Sitting down, Cao Dingjun brewed him some tea, then went out to handle official duties.

Liu Zhizhong was sipping tea and looking at documents when Wen Bao called...
