"Oh, Uncle Luo, it's like this. A few days ago, my cousin visited Dingkang County town, and it was Liu Zhizhong who drove her there. She couldn't fly because..."

Zhang Hongyang seemed to have just remembered and his explanation sounded reasonable, which made Luo Tianlin listen.

Liu Zhizhong sneered to himself. Dumbass, you think you can use Luo Tianlin to press down on me so easily? Ha, finally you realize, your sister slept with me, and that's a real sticking point, huh...

Finally, Zhang Hongyang said, "Uncle Luo, you're so busy, why don't you go ahead with your work? Only Liu Zhizhong has reported here so far, so I can arrange his dormitory and other matters."

Luo Tianlin had nothing more to say, nodded, got up and said, "Alright, I'll go back to the Provincial Organizational Department now, I do have some matters to attend to, you take care of things here, Hongyang. Tomorrow, during the school opening ceremony, you will give the speech on behalf of the youth class, make sure to do well."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm, please rest assured, Uncle Luo, there won't be any problems."

Luo Tianlin nodded, glanced at Liu Zhizhong, and said faintly, "Comrade Liu Zhizhong, I hope you remember your former leader Ma Yiming. Though you haven't been implicated, opportunities are hard to come by. Take good care of yourself. It's most important that you safely complete your training and graduate successfully."

What could Liu Zhizhong say?

A minor section chief, faced with a deputy minister-level senior official of the Party, could only nod and say, "Thank you, Minister Luo, Principal Luo, for your kind guidance and advice, Liu Zhizhong will remember it."

Luo Tianlin gave a smile that was not quite a smile and snorted twice disdainfully through his nose before picking up his briefcase and leaving his own class director's office, leaving the space to Zhang Hongyang and Liu Zhizhong.

Originally, the class director's office was located alongside the youth class leader's office and the Party branch secretary's office, and the class director's position was just a formality.

A Provincial Party Organization Minister serving as class director, how could he possibly do real work here? His days were filled with meetings, studying, inspecting and recommending officials, and staying busy with formalities—how could he find time to come here to do any real work?

After Luo Tianlin left, Zhang Hongyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glared harshly at Liu Zhizhong before speaking in a heavy tone: "Liu Zhizhong, you better be thankful that you knew your place and didn't blabber nonsense."

Liu Zhizhong glared back and said coldly, "What do you think I was going to say? What do you think? Do you really think what you think is what I think?"

"Don't give me these twists and turns! I'm telling you, if Uncle Luo finds out about you and my sister, you won't have a good time!"

Liu Zhizhong squinted disdainfully, crossed his arms over his chest, and cocked his head, "Oh? Is it that serious? I haven't even asked you yet, how well do you know Minister Luo? What relation is he to the Zhang family that you're appointed both class leader and Party branch secretary?"

Zhang Hongyang snorted coldly twice, "What right do you have to ask? I won't tell you, and what can you do about it? Liu Zhizhong, let me make it clear to you, here at the Provincial Party School, this is my turf. I am the class leader, I am the Party branch secretary, and you must listen to me. If you piss me off, you won't have a good time!"

Liu Zhizhong raised his hands, "Fine, you win, you're so close to Minister Luo, Principal Luo, what can I do? I won't provoke you, so don't provoke me, okay?"

"Me, not provoke you? Ha... Listen, the opening ceremony is tomorrow. You have to follow my arrangements immediately, get to work!"
