Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

At 4:30 p.m., Luo Zhiguo arrived at Zhang Qiang's office in the government office. Looking at Wang Zhi in the small office, he said in a deep voice, "Wang Zhi! Go and report to the county head that I've arrived..."

Wang Zhi originally wanted to put up a good fight with him, but before he could even speak, he heard what he said and immediately turned ashen with anger.

He suddenly stood up, staring coldly at Luo Zhiguo, and angrily shouted, "Luo Zhiguo! Who gave you the audacity to act so wildly here..."

"Since you're not going to report to the county magistrate, fine, I'm leaving..."

Luo Zhiguo glanced at him with disdain, then turned to leave.

Wang Zhi was stunned. He hadn't expected him to be so unpredictable, turning around and leaving without a word.

Watching Luo Zhiguo leave, he panicked. If Luo Zhiguo really left, Zhang Qiang would definitely not let him go.

His career would be over then. Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat and immediately chased after Luo Zhiguo.

"Mayor Luo! Mayor Luo! Wait a minute..."

Luo Zhiguo did not stop and continued walking up the stairs, completely ignoring him.

Today I'm going to teach this arrogant bastard a lesson, so he won't dare to be so cocky in front of me again.

"Mayor Luo! Mayor Luo! It was all my fault just now. Please forgive me, I'm so magnanimous..."

At this moment, Wang Zhi was extremely panicked. If Luo Zhiguo really left like this, Zhang Qiang would definitely not let him off the hook.

Therefore, he adopted a very humble attitude at this moment, and even his words carried a hint of pleading.

Luo Zhiguo stopped and turned to look at him, his expression extremely serious. He rebuked him sternly, "Wang Zhi! You're just the county magistrate's messenger. Who gave you the audacity to obstruct me and prevent the county magistrate from seeing me...?"

His shouts immediately drew people from various departments to peek out and watch.

Wang Zhi's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and he was furious to the extreme. He really wanted to give him a good scolding and let him know what it meant to be someone close to the leader.

But he only thought about it in his mind; even if he had the courage, he wouldn't dare to do it right now.

Seeing the crowd of onlookers from various departments, he gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and said, "Mayor Luo! How could I dare to stop you from seeing the county magistrate? It was just a misunderstanding..."

Everyone was stunned by what they saw. Wang Zhi, as the county magistrate's secretary, was usually arrogant and haughty. Why had he suddenly become so obsequious?

"Hey! Isn't that Luo Zhiguo?"

Soon, someone recognized Luo Zhiguo and they immediately started discussing it in hushed tones.

"Wow! Luo Zhiguo's really something now. He resolved the aloe vera issue as the mayor of Bohou Town, and his position is secure now. I just don't know why he's going against Wang Zhi today..."

"Are you stupid! It's not Luo Zhiguo and Wang Zhi going against each other, it's clearly Wang Zhi begging Luo Zhiguo..."

Although the crowd was whispering, Wang Zhi heard their words and was immediately enraged, wanting to shout at them.

But Luo Zhiguo's problems were still unresolved, so he couldn't care less about these other things.

Seeing that Luo Zhiguo remained silent, he became even more anxious and pleaded desperately, "Mayor Luo! Please, be magnanimous and don't hold it against me. I know I was wrong, and I'll apologize to you..."

Seeing that the time was right and Wang Zhi had already lost face, Luo Zhidao sneered and then strode towards Zhang Qiang's office.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Luo Zhiguo's back.

Thinking to myself, Luo Zhiguo, you're not done with this today. You better not give me a chance, or I'll make sure you get what's coming to you.

Immediately afterwards, he gave a cold glance to the onlookers, let out a warning snort, and then strode away.

This time, Wang Zhi didn't dare to play any tricks. He immediately went into the office and said a few words to Zhang Qiang.

A moment later, he came out, looked at Luo Zhiguo, and said very politely, "Mayor Luo! The county magistrate invites you in..."

Luo Zhiguo didn't even glance at him, nodded, and strode towards Zhang Qiang's office.

"Hello, County Head!"

Upon entering the office, he saw Zhang Qiang sitting at his desk. Although he was very displeased with the man, he still greeted him respectfully.

"Little Luo is here! Please have a seat."

Zhang Qiang seemed to only then realize he had arrived. He looked up at him, greeted him with a smile, and then politely asked him to sit down.

At this moment, Wang Zhi brought in a cup of tea, placed it in front of Luo Zhiguo, and then left, gently closing the door behind him.

Looking at the tea placed in front of him, Luo Zhiguo dared not drink it.

Because a despicable person like Wang Zhi is capable of anything, and after all the trouble he just caused him, what if he spits in the tea? That's why he won't drink this cup of tea.

Luo Zhiguo sat upright on the sofa, then looked at Zhang Qiang, who had walked over and sat down beside him, waiting for him to speak.

Zhang Qiang was very polite and enthusiastic on the surface, and even tossed him a cigarette when he lit it.

However, he took the cigarette but only held it in his hand without lighting it.

"Xiao Luo! You've done a great job in Bohou Town. In a short time, you've helped various villages solve their aloe vera problems. You haven't let me down when I withstood the pressure to promote you to mayor of Bohou Town..."

Looking at Luo Zhiguo, Zhang Qiang exhaled a smoke ring and praised him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo mentally cursed Luo Zhiguo's ancestors for eighteen generations, but outwardly he remained respectful and humble, saying, "Thank you for the praise, County Head! However, I haven't done enough, and I will definitely work harder in the future to help Bohou Town escape poverty and become prosperous as soon as possible..."

"Hmm! Not bad, I didn't misjudge you..."

Zhang Qiang nodded, and praised it again with great satisfaction.

Then, looking at him, he asked, "Xiao Luo! Is the investment team arriving in Bohou Town tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo was startled, thinking to himself, "So it really is about the investment."

"Yes, County Magistrate!"

After calming himself down, he looked at Zhang Qiang and nodded in response.

Zhang Qiang stubbed out his cigarette, looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Luo! You're a man with a broad perspective, and I have high hopes for you. Our Shunping County is poor, and we don't get many investors all year round. Here's what I'm thinking: this time, I'll have the county's investment promotion bureau take over the investors from Bohou Town, and then get them to build factories in Shunping County..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo was furious. He thought to himself, "This guy is shameless. How dare he say such a thing? Damn it, I really want to slap him a few times."

Despite his anger, he suppressed it, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "County Magistrate! The reason investors invest is because they see the natural advantages of Bohou Town. If we ask them to build factories in the county, I doubt they will be willing..."
