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

In Jianghai City, Tong Wu received a phone call informing him that Luo Zhiguo had been suspended from his post, and his brows furrowed slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he dialed Chu Hao's number to find out the whole story.

Chu Hao had just learned that Luo Zhiguo had been suspended by Zhang Qiang, but he knew more inside information than Tong Wu.

Upon receiving the call, he immediately replied without hesitation, "Sir! Xiao Luo is a good comrade. He's only been in Bohou Town for a short time, but he's already accomplished a lot. However, some people, for their own purposes, first forcefully replaced the Party Secretary of Bohou Town through an appointment, and then tried to divert investment from Bohou Town to the county to boost their own political achievements. Xiao Luo refused, so some people suspended him from his post to control Bohou Town and achieve their own goals..."

After hearing his words, Tong Wu frowned and couldn't help but scold, "Nonsense! Utter nonsense! This kind of person wants to be the county party secretary? It's just wishful thinking. It seems the situation in Shunping County needs to be stabilized as soon as possible. I will report this to the secretary..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao's expression changed drastically. His few words contained a wealth of information.

He deduced from this that Zhang Qiang had no chance of succeeding as the county party secretary, and that the position had already been filled by someone else.

It seems Zhang Qiang is going to be disappointed again; the new county party secretary should be taking office soon.

"Chu Hao! What's wrong with your county discipline inspection commission's campaign to rectify conduct?"

Tong Wu suddenly changed the subject and asked in a deep voice.

"Sir! The rectification campaign conducted by our county discipline inspection commission is still ongoing..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao composed himself and carefully considered his reply.

"Hmph! You're still too slow. You need to be swift and decisive. If you find any irregularities in your investigations, deal with them immediately. Don't be lenient. Only by striking hard will you achieve results..."

Tong Wu snorted coldly and said in a very stern voice.

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao immediately understood that his leader was going to stand up for Luo Zhiguo, and he made a decision in his mind.

"Rest assured, sir! I guarantee I'll complete the task, deliver a powerful blow, and deal with every violation I discover..."

"Um!"

Tong Wu nodded, then hung up the phone without mentioning Luo Zhiguo.

Although he didn't mention Luo Zhiguo, Chu Hao knew about it.

The leader's strategy of using the county discipline inspection commission's crackdown to relieve pressure on Luo Zhiguo was a deliberate attempt to vent his anger.

After hanging up the phone, he thought for a moment, then picked up the phone again and immediately dialed Lou Zhengtian.

"Old Lou! Come here over here."

A few minutes later, Lou Zhengtian appeared in his office.

"Old Lou! The leaders are very dissatisfied with our work on rectifying conduct and demand that we take strong action, handling every violation we find. Regarding Zhao Dehua's case, give me the materials, and I will report it to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. Then, the head of the First Section, Zeng Hui, and some other team members should all be detained and investigated. In particular, the case of Liu Hanwen from Bohou Town should be resolved as soon as possible..."

Upon hearing Chu Hao's words, Lou Zhengtian's expression changed drastically. After thinking for a moment, he cautiously asked, "Secretary! To what extent should this matter be handled?"

"Xiao Luo was suspended from his duties yesterday. Some people are trying to reap the benefits, and their behavior is extremely unsightly. Therefore, the matter of Xiao Luo being interrogated by the disciplinary committee must be thoroughly investigated this time..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao said with a cold smile.

Lou Zhengtian's expression changed drastically again, and he exclaimed in shock, "What! Mayor Luo has been suspended from his duties..."

Chu Hao nodded, tossed him a cigarette, lit one for himself, thought for a moment, exhaled a smoke ring, and said in a deep voice, "The boss just called me to inquire about Xiao Luo's matter. He was very angry and said 'nonsense' twice. Lao Lou, I don't need to say more about this; you should know what to do, right..."

After taking the cigarette and a few puffs, Lou Zhengtian's expression turned serious. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "Secretary! I know what happened, but I don't understand. Don't some people realize the seriousness of suspending Mayor Luo from his post...?"

"Sigh! How could some people not know? They're just focused on achieving their goals and realizing their own intentions, so they don't care about anything else..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao sighed slightly and said in a deep voice.

Lou Zhengtian nodded without saying anything.

……

Mei Chengyuan, the director of the county's investment promotion bureau, arrived at the Jinyue Hotel at 3 p.m. with two staff members.

Zhou Guan and Li Xiumei had been waiting for him for a long time. When they saw him from afar, they immediately went to greet him.

"Hello, Director Mei! The investment team is in the private room on the third floor."

Zhou Guan gripped Mei Chengyuan's hands tightly and shook them.

After greeting them respectfully, he led Mei Chengyuan and the others to the third floor.

In the morning, Zhou Guan and Li Xiumei met with the investment team. In the end, the investment team requested to see Luo Zhiguo, so Zhou Guan and Li Xiumei left under some pretext.

Then they rescheduled to meet the investment team at 3 p.m. on the third floor of the Jin Yue Hotel, using Luo Zhiguo's name.

The investment team was led by a man in his early thirties named Wu Chong, and included two other men and one woman.

When they arrived, Han Feng sternly instructed Wu Chong that he must meet with Luo Zhiguo before discussing the investment.

During his last visit to Shunping County, Han Feng sensed that the political environment there was not good, and some people suspected that Luo Zhiguo was being targeted.

That's why he gave Wu Chong those instructions, which led to what happened that morning.

Upon seeing the group enter the private room, Wu Chong frowned slightly, noticing that their ages did not match Han Feng's description of Luo Zhiguo.

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Guan and asked in a deep voice, "Committee Member Zhou! May I ask which one of you is Mayor Luo Zhiguo?"

"Hello! I am Mei Chengyuan, the director of the county's investment promotion bureau. Welcome to invest in Shunping County..."

Before Zhou Guan could answer, Mei Chengyuan extended his hand with a smile and said very politely.

Wu Chong frowned slightly, but still reached out and shook hands with him, saying, "I am Wu Chong, the person in charge of this investment team. Director Mei, where is Mayor Luo?"

Mei Chengyuan didn't answer him. Instead, he gestured for everyone to sit down and then said, "Mr. Wu! It's like this. After discussion among our county leaders, we hope that your investment can be placed in the county. As long as you build a factory in the county, we will give you a lot of support and very favorable policies. So we hope Mr. Wu will consider it carefully. After all, Bohou Town is a township, and its conditions cannot compare with those of the county seat..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Chong understood. It turned out that the other party wanted to move the investment from Bohou Town to the county. No wonder they always prevented him from meeting Luo Zhiguo earlier.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall Han Feng's words of advice.

At the time, Han Feng said that no matter what happened, he must meet with Luo Zhiguo and discuss the investment with him.

Apart from that, don't talk to anyone else. If anything unexpected happens, try to contact Luo Zhiguo before making a decision.
