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

Although Luo Zhiguo knew that Chen Hua and his group had ill intentions, he didn't take it to heart or think about it much.

No matter what their purpose is, or what conspiracies they want to plot, as long as he stands on the side of the people, he will be invincible.

"Ahem! Meeting time..."

He coughed twice into the microphone, showing no politeness or deference, and instead announced the start of the meeting, without letting Chen Hua, the Party Secretary, speak or preside over it.

Seeing that he didn't let the Party Secretary speak, Chen Hua was very unhappy, and his face turned somewhat ugly.

Although today's meeting is a town government meeting, he is the top leader after all, so no matter what, he has to be the first to speak at the meeting.

This is also a way of showing respect to the top leader, but Luo Zhiguo's actions clearly showed that he did not respect him in public.

"Hmph! Kid, the more arrogant you are now, the more embarrassed I'll make you later. I'll expose your plans in public and let everyone see who's in charge in Bohou Town..."

Thinking that he would soon expose Luo Zhiguo's plan, Chen Hua secretly rejoiced, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Fan Ming couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Although they came here for the same purpose, they were not working together, so he was still very happy to see Chen Hua get the short end of the stick.

At the same time, he looked at Luo Zhiguo with a cold smile, eagerly anticipating the exposure of his plan and seeing his pathetic state.

"Everyone! I called you here today for a meeting to discuss various matters related to aloe vera..."

Luo Zhiguo, unaware of Chen Hua's and Fan Ming's thoughts, glanced around below and continued speaking.

Upon hearing that the discussion was about aloe vera, the village secretaries below immediately began to whisper among themselves.

Immediately afterwards, someone asked, "Mayor Luo! The aloe vera plants in each village are right there in the fields, what's there to discuss?"

"Yeah! Aloe vera plants aren't going anywhere in the field. We'll sell them for whatever price we're paid. What's there to negotiate..."

Someone chimed in, and for a moment, the small auditorium was filled with noise.

Those who asked the question and echoed it were all doing it intentionally, with the aim of blocking Luo Zhiguo's path. Of course, it goes without saying who made them do it.

Chen Hua coughed twice and looked at Luo Zhiguo, saying, "Ahem! Mayor Luo! Just say what you have to say, don't waste everyone's time..."

These words were extremely impolite, deliberately undermining Luo Zhiguo's prestige as town mayor in public; their intentions were truly malicious.

If it were any other town mayor, they certainly wouldn't dare to contradict him in public. After all, he is the Party Secretary, and contradicting him in person would give the higher-ups the impression that he doesn't care about unity.

This will affect one's career path, since no leader likes to employ someone who doesn't promote unity.

But Luo Zhiguo was originally sent down to take the blame, and he had long been prepared to be removed from the system.

So now he's fearless. He'd dare to contradict even the county magistrate, Zhang Qiang, let alone the party secretary.

"Secretary Chen! Why don't you chair the meeting?"

He glanced at Chen Hua, and his words were anything but polite; he went straight for the jab.

Chen Hua was shocked that he was so assertive and dared to confront him like that in public, and his face turned ashen with anger.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he said in a deep voice, "Mayor Luo! It's okay for young people to be a little impulsive, but they should learn to listen to others' advice and not throw tantrums at the drop of a hat..."

"Secretary Chen! Young people's impulsiveness means they have drive, unlike the old folks who are outdated, rely on their age, know nothing, and like to boss people around..."

He was not polite at all, and Luo Zhiguo was even more so, speaking sharply and responding head-on.

Chen Hua was so angry he almost vomited blood, and he pointed at Luo Zhiguo, trembling all over.

"Secretary Chen! You're the top leader, so you should chair today's meeting..."

Luo Zhiguo was not afraid at all, looking at him with disdain in his eyes, and said with a sneer.

Fan Ming saw the two sides locked in a tense standoff, both secretly sneering, and remained silent, simply watching the show.

Ye Hao and Qian Tao, the discipline inspection committee member, frowned deeply. They were in cahoots with Chen Hua and naturally did not want to see this situation.

However, neither of them dared to speak out, for fear that Luo Zhiguo would point his gun at them.

Below, the village party secretaries all turned pale when they saw the town mayor and the party secretary fighting. They dared not speak, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

For a moment, the entire small auditorium became completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Chen Hua was almost driven mad with anger, but in the end, he managed to suppress his rage.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he stared at Luo Zhiguo and said in a deep voice, "Today is a town government meeting. I'm just here to listen; I won't make any comments..."

"Hmph! Since you know it's a meeting convened by the town government, then shut up and don't interrupt..."

Luo Zhiguo's words caused everyone in the small auditorium to change their expressions drastically, including Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei.

Because these words are not just forceful, they are excessive.

Chen Hua almost got up and left, not wanting to stay here any longer and see Luo Zhiguo's face that he loathed.

She wanted to refute or rebuke Luo Zhiguo, but she had just said that she was only there to listen and would not make any comments.

If he were to rebuke him now, wouldn't he be contradicting himself?

So even if Luo Zhiguo's words were excessive, he could only endure them.

"You little bastard! I'll teach you a lesson for being arrogant now, just wait and see how I deal with you..."

His face was dark, he wouldn't look at Luo Zhiguo anymore, his eyes were sharp, he gritted his teeth, and he secretly vowed to retaliate properly later.

"Does anyone else want to speak? Deputy Secretary Fan, would you like to chair the meeting?"

Everyone thought that Luo Zhiguo had already said so much, and Chen Hua had backed down, so he should continue the meeting.

Unexpectedly, he pointed his gun at everyone and then opened fire on Fan Ming.

Upon hearing this, Fan Ming, who had been watching the show with a smug look on his face, was startled and didn't dare to utter a word.

He waved his hands repeatedly, smiling broadly, and said, "No, no, no! How can I preside over a town government meeting? Mayor Luo should preside over it; I can just listen..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo's lips curled up into a sneer. He thought to himself, "You've come, so I didn't want to bother with you. But you insist on causing trouble, so don't blame me for being impolite."

"Committee Member Zhou! Do you have any objections?"

Luo Zhiguo suddenly looked at Zhou Guan, the organization committee member, and asked in a deep voice.

"what!"

Although he was involved in the matter targeting Luo Zhiguo, he was in cahoots with Liu Ming.

But he had never spoken to Luo Zhiguo in person until now, so he was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Immediately realizing that Luo Zhiguo was about to attack him, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Mayor Luo! I'm just here to listen; I have no objections and am not qualified to chair a town government meeting..."
