Wen Bao called, and Liu Zhizhong was quite happy.

It's been some time since he last contacted Mr. Wen. The last time they talked was when Liu Zhizhong was transferred here as the deputy mayor, and Wen Bao called to offer a bit of comfort.

Liu Zhizhong answered the call and started exchanging pleasantries.

Wen Bao soon said, "Mr. Liu, Zhang Hongyang has really made a big name for himself in Shanan County, you know that, right?"

Liu Zhizhong felt slightly suppressed.

What can be said?

Zhang Hongyang is only 34 years old, and just a few days ago, he was promoted to a member of the East Light State Committee, clearly a deputy department-level cadre, which is quite impressive.

Liu Zhizhong felt a bit lost; indeed, he hadn't expected Zhang Hongyang to climb so quickly.

Originally, he thought Zhang Hongyang would need to work another two or three years as the Shanan County Party Secretary before having such a possibility.

Who knew, this guy would climb so aggressively.

It seems like the focus wasn't on training him, Liu Zhizhong, but clearly on Zhang Hongyang, right?

However, at this moment, facing what Wen Bao said, Liu Zhizhong was very open-minded.

Liu Zhizhong laughed and said, "That's Secretary Zhang's good fortune. With the organization's inspection and training, as long as he deserves it, that's fine!"

"I know very well what kind of person Zhang Hongyang is. For him to get to where he is today, he must have used some underhanded means. I don't even want to talk about him. Recently, I'm not going back to Shanan; I'll just send a representative to keep an eye on the project. In the future, it'll pretty much be like that."

Liu Zhizhong was a bit taken aback but seemed to understand and said, "Hey, Mr. Wen, you can't say that. The hospital is a big deal for Shanan; having you personally present is better for overseeing things."

"Different interests, no meaning. Even, haha…" Wen Bao laughed as he spoke, "I'm even considering pulling out my investment!"

"Hey, Mr. Wen, that would be impractical, completely impractical, right?"

"The project's reached this stage, withdrawing isn't realistic, so it's best to continue as it is. By the way, how is everything over there in Daxi City, do you need any help from my side?"

This suggestion came at just the right moment!

Liu Zhizhong had been troubled at the State Committee meeting, worrying about not having any projects to stimulate Daxi City's economic development!

Immediately, Liu Zhizhong said, "Don't say that, Mr. Wen, I'm actually having a bit of trouble here. As the executive deputy mayor in charge of the economy, trying to make an impact in a place where economic development has already peaked and is running high is indeed a bit challenging. If you have any projects, feel free to coordinate with me, and you're welcome to visit Daxi for an inspection!"

"No need for inspections, I trust Mayor Liu and Mayor Hamuer. How about this, I'll bring another hospital for you?"

Liu Zhizhong's eyes lit up, "Oh? That would be great! The medical level in Daxi City is indeed not up to par with Huayang City and Provincial City, not to mention compared to Shanan County. If we could bring in a foreign hospital, it would be a significant boost for my area's Shennong Grand Canyon tourism too."

Wen Bao pondered and said, "Yeah, that's right! With Shennong Grand Canyon being a 5A scenic spot, you can develop it further! For example, you could focus on health and wellness themes, and with support from our foreign hospital, it would be incredibly attractive and could trigger an economic boost."

"Hmm, alright! With Mr. Wen's words, I'll start preparing…"
