At the same time, Liu Zhizhong also received the news.

After a glance, he stopped his car on the side of the street and let out a long sigh, "The inevitable has finally arrived, damn Black Friday!"

His political acumen made him understand everything in an instant.

The Provincial Disciplinary Committee was investigating the matters related to Ma Xudong before his appointment in Yangzhou, unrelated to Yangzhou itself.

Indeed, the Yangzhou Zhang Family was tough enough to remain unaffected.

If they had announced an investigation in Yangzhou, the Zhang Family would inevitably be implicated, and it would be even more miserable for me and Lu Yuqing.

Still, it seemed some tough days were ahead.

But fortunately, Zhang Zhenglong was a card that could be played, right?

If all else failed, should I just go threaten Zhang Qixiang? I've been with her, I have the video!

Just as he was thinking about this, Zhang Hongyang's call came through.

How could a leader of Brother-in-law's status not care about "Black Friday"?

Liu Zhizhong gave a bitter smile, damn it, the first congratulatory message has arrived?

Of course, he had to grimace and answer the call.

"Ha ha ha!!!"

Zhang Hongyang's laughter was loud, like his vitality had been restored, full and vibrant.

Liu Zhizhong found it incredibly irritating, you damn dog, what are you so proud of?

Zhang Hongyang immediately said, "My dear junior, my dear brother-in-law, congratulations, your leader just crashed spectacularly, so unexpectedly and yet so naturally smooth! Tell me, what will you do now? What are you going to do?"

His last words were quick like clappers, quite rhythmic.

Zhang Hongyang was completely charged as if injected with energizer.

Liu Zhizhong could totally picture his smug face.

Nevertheless, Liu Zhizhong could only calmly respond, "Brother Hongyang, thanks for your congratulations, I've seen enough of your smugness, I've got nothing to say. After all, the organization will inform me soon to suspend all work! It's a good time for a break; I'm tired anyway."

"Hehe, really self-aware, aren't you? You also seem to well understand our organization's work style and habits, clever boy! But still, thank you for your hard work these past few days, for pushing out four articles before Ma Xudong's downfall, one was mine, three were my niece's, you damn genius, all four articles will be in the provincial paper starting next week. Listen to me say, thank you! Because of you..."

Liu Zhizhong couldn't stand his boastful talk anymore. The four articles had felt like they almost killed him to produce, and it all ended up dressing someone else up?

Screw it, my leader has fallen, I'll hang up, lest this jerk continues to disgust me.

Zhang Hongyang clearly came just to irritate Liu Zhizhong. Seeing him hang up, he immediately sent a voice message through WeChat.

"Listen up, grandson, if you want to save your career in Yangzhou, if you want to avoid my severe actions, just obediently do as I say. As for how, I'll be at my mom's home for dinner tonight, I'll explain it slowly."

Liu Zhizhong couldn't be bothered to reply.

What good ideas could this jerk have? All damn nasty tricks, right?

But, his mention of the four articles reminded Liu Zhizhong of what Yue Xing had promised!

Hmm, I should remind Yue Xing about it? If she delivers and protects me, I'll still respect her a bit. If not, fuck it, I'll have to find a way to fix her! No future left, why not focus on screwing over these bastards!

He was just about to start the car, to go home and take a shower first, as his body was covered in a patch of stinky sweat, it indeed needed a wash.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qixiang's congratulatory message also came in.

Liu Zhizhong gritted his teeth, still have to answer!

"Trashy Liu! You bastard! Did sister say anything wrong? Did I? Ha ha ha..."

Zhang Qixiang screeched and curse through the phone, and then burst into wild laughter, as if about to cry, seemingly laughing tears out.

"You beast, didn't you brag about being able to fight? Come hit your sister, come on? You dog thing, if sister doesn't show you some colors, you think you're something? Eat and wipe clean, don't pay the price, can that work? Puh!"

"Bastard, your face must look awful right now, your heart must not be feeling good, but sister is feeling very good. Listen, do you want to save your political career, do you?"

Listening to her voice, Liu Zhizhong really wanted to stuff it with genius, but then his thoughts shifted, huh? What does this lady mean now?

He immediately bitterly amused, "Sister Qixiang, isn't that nonsense? How could I not want to save my political career? What clever plan do you have?"

"Clever my ass! You scoundrel, better do as your sister said, maybe if sister is pleased, I might really be able to save you."

"Ah... You and your brother are really quick-witted, both thinking of protecting me so promptly! Tell me, should I do as your brother suggested, or as you say?"

"What did Hongyang tell you?"

"He said he'll talk more at mom's house tonight, what about you, now or later? If you don't speak, I'll hang up?"

Right after finishing speaking, Yue Xing's call also came through, indicating another message.

Liu Zhizhong grumbled again, "Another Zhang Family congratulation coming, shall I hang up and answer your niece Secretary Zhang's call to see what she has to say?"

Actually, he felt utterly miserable inside, these Zhang women, weren't they all just kicking a man while he's down?
