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

After Liu Ming and Wang Shichang left the private room, Luo Zhiguo looked at Tong Zhen, thought for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "Tong Zhen! Was what happened just now related to you?"

"Um!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Zhen nodded, and then said, "I just called my aunt and told her what happened here, asking her to find someone to help me..."

She had already thought of these words. Of course, she didn't tell Luo Zhiguo the truth, not because she didn't believe him, but because her identity was somewhat sensitive.

She didn't want Luo Zhiguo to know her true identity so early, as it wouldn't do him any good.

After hearing her words, Luo Zhiguo frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with what she said, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Virgin and said, "Virgin! Thank you for tonight."

"Senior brother! Why are you being so polite with me..."

The virgin pouted and looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing her like this, Luo Zhiguo immediately scratched his head with a silly grin, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Senior brother! Let's go for a walk."

Disturbed by Liu Ming, Wang Shichang and others, Tong Zhen lost her appetite and looked at Luo Zhiguo, suggesting that they go for a walk.

Luo Zhiguo also lost his appetite. Upon hearing this, he nodded and left the private room with Tong Zhen. They walked out of the Jin Yue Hotel and strolled down the street.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Luo Zhiguo rushed back to Bohou Town from the county early in the morning.

"Director Qiao! Please inform the deputy mayors that there will be a meeting at 9:30..."

Upon entering the office, he saw Qiao Yan carrying a cup of tea. He looked up at her and gave her instructions in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yan nodded, put down her teacup, and then turned and left.

The town government of Bohou Town has one mayor and three deputy mayors: Ye Hao, Ding Wei, and Yang Chen.

If it had been yesterday when Luo Zhiguo first arrived and Qiao Yan relayed the message about the meeting, they wouldn't have paid any attention to it at all.

But Luo Zhiguo had shown strength yesterday, so when they heard Qiao Yan's message, they dared not underestimate the town mayor who had come to take the blame.

At 9:10, Ye Hao, Ding Wei, and Yang Chen arrived at the office. Qiao Yan, the deputy director of the Party and Government Office, also attended the meeting and was responsible for taking notes.

At 9:30, Luo Zhiguo strode into the conference room and sat down in the head seat.

He glanced at the three men, then fixed his gaze on Ye Hao and said in a deep voice, "Deputy Mayor Ye! I don't know the other two deputy mayors, could you introduce them?"

"Ahem! Mayor, this is Ding Wei, and this is Yang Chen..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao offered to treat Luo Zhiguo to two meals, and then introduced Yang Chen and Ding Wei to him.

"Hello, Mayor Luo..."

Ding Wei and Yang Chen were both in their early forties, but they dared not underestimate Luo Zhiguo, a young man, and greeted him with smiles.

"Um!"

Luo Zhiguo nodded, then opened his notebook and said in a deep voice, "Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the aloe vera issue in each village. I only took office yesterday, so I don't know much about this matter. Now, who can give me a detailed explanation..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao, Ding Wei, and Yang Chen all changed their expressions drastically, realizing the seriousness of the matter, so the three of them remained silent.

After waiting for a while, and seeing that none of the three of them spoke, Luo Zhiguo couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

I thought to myself, you all want to distance yourselves and make me take the blame, then I'll drag you all into this.

"Deputy Mayor Ye! You're a committee member, so you should know quite a bit about aloe vera. Why don't you give me a detailed explanation..."

His gaze fell on Ye Hao, and he said expressionlessly.

Ye Hao had anticipated this move, because the man had asked him about it yesterday, and in the end, Ye Hao had refrained from responding.

So when he asked again today, Ye Hao used the same trick as yesterday, talking for a long time but never getting to the point.

Anyway, it's just rambling nonsense, talking about some unimportant things.

Ding Wei and Yang Chen couldn't help but admire Ye Hao's words.

Thinking to himself, "As expected of a member of the Party Committee, his methods for handling things are truly shrewd. Let's see what Mayor Luo Zhiguo can do this time."

While taking notes, Qiao Yan couldn't help but secretly glance at Luo Zhiguo, also wanting to see how he would deal with these shrewd deputy mayors.

"Snapped!"

The group was secretly pleased with themselves, eager to see what Luo Zhiguo would do.

He slammed his hand on the desk, then pointed at Ye Hao and sternly reprimanded him: "Ye Hao! Is this all you're capable of, deputy mayor? You can't even answer a simple question clearly. No wonder Bohou Town is so poor. It seems I need to raise this issue with the county leaders and have them appoint someone capable of speaking clearly as deputy mayor..."

His words were very serious, yet he didn't leave Ye Hao any room for embarrassment. Ye Hao felt his face burning hot.

Looking up at Luo Zhiguo, he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Because everything Luo Zhiguo said was true, even if he wanted to argue, he couldn't find a reason to deny it.

Ding Wei and Yang Chen were shocked to find that he showed Ye Hao no respect whatsoever, and their eyes flashed with deep apprehension.

Then the two lowered their heads, knowing that Luo Zhiguo would call them next, so they racked their brains to think of a solution.

"Deputy Mayor Ding, you speak! I want to see if my three deputies are all equally incompetent, unable to even express themselves clearly..."

Luo Zhiguo glanced sharply at Qiang Ren, then his gaze finally settled on Ding Wei, and he spoke sternly.

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei couldn't help but tremble, his face turned deathly pale, his eyes darted around, and he stammered, unsure of what to say.

"Deputy Mayor Ding! Don't tell me you didn't know about the aloe vera cultivation in the villages..."

Seeing Ding Wei's evasive eyes and stammering, Luo Zhiguo's expression turned serious, his eyes sharp, and his voice stern as he reprimanded him.

"I...I..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei wanted to answer that he knew, but he didn't dare to say it.

Because once he said he understood, Luo Zhiguo would then press him for answers, so he stammered for a long time without being able to say a word.

"Snapped!"

Luo Zhiguo slammed his hand on the desk again, then angrily said to Ding Wei, "You, a deputy mayor, didn't even know that the villages were planting aloe vera? How could you be a deputy mayor? Or are the aloe vera being planted secretly by the villages, and the Party and Government Office didn't even know...?"

Ding Wei's face turned pale and then red as he was scolded. He lowered his head and dared not look at Luo Zhiguo.

"Deputy Mayor Yang! Look here, let's talk."

Luo Zhiguo's gaze fell on Yang Chen, and he spoke in a slightly cold tone.

Like Ding Wei, Yang Chen trembled upon hearing this, his face turned deathly pale, and his heart nearly leaped out of his throat.
