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

Since Chen Hua had left, Ye Hao and Qian Tao saw no need to stay any longer, so they stood up and walked out of the small auditorium.

Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei exchanged glances, also wanting to leave, but Luo Zhiguo spoke up.

His gaze fell on Fan Ming, and he asked with a sneer, "Deputy Secretary Fan! You're talking nonsense and deceiving the villagers. Why don't you make a bet with me? If I'm deceiving the villagers, then I'll resign voluntarily. If not, then you can apply for early retirement and go home to live a peaceful life. Anyway, you're just as incompetent as Chen Hua. Let the position of deputy secretary be left to someone more capable..."

Upon hearing this, Fan Ming's face turned ashen; he was nearly driven mad with anger, thinking to himself, "Why would I bet with you?"

You're someone who'll be scapegoated and ruined soon; I'd have to be crazy to gamble with you.

"Don't you dare! I, a section chief, bet against you, a deputy section chief, and you still come out ahead..."

Looking at Fan Ming, Luo Zhiguo spoke again, his tone sarcastic and mocking.

"Mayor Luo! You're being too frivolous. We're all just trying to do our job. Even though there's been a little conflict, the way you're talking makes you seem like you're not behaving like a mayor at all..."

Knowing that it was inappropriate for Fan Ming to speak up at this time, Zhou Guan stepped forward to help Fan Ming out of the predicament while also reprimanding Luo Zhiguo.

Luo Zhiguo raised the corners of his mouth, saying sarcastically, "Committee Member Zhou! Is this the kind of irresponsible attitude you usually have towards your work? You didn't even investigate properly before you came out and accused me of deceiving the villagers and talking nonsense, and now you've turned it into a minor contradiction. I really don't know how you came up with this 'minor contradiction'..."

"I……"

Zhou Guan remained silent, no longer speaking.

"snort!",

Following Chen Hua's example, Fan Ming also didn't want to stay there any longer. He snorted coldly and prepared to turn around and leave.

However, Luo Zhiguo wasn't about to let him leave so easily. He immediately rebuked him, "Deputy Secretary Fan! You can't leave today unless you explain clearly how I deceived the villagers and how I talked nonsense. If you really want to leave, I'll go to the county immediately and let the leaders judge this matter..."

Although Chen Hua was also very hateful, he did not side with Liu Ming, so he did not make things too difficult for him and let him leave.

But Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei are Liu Ming's dogs. If we seize this opportunity today, we can at least prevent them from losing their positions and being dismissed.

He also wanted to teach the three a lesson and make them lose face in front of the village party secretaries.

Seeing that he was still making a fuss and even wanted to go to the county to cause trouble, Fan Ming was shocked and immediately stopped in his tracks.

He turned around, staring at Luo Zhiguo with a gloomy expression, unsure whether what Luo Zhiguo had just said was true or false.

However, I still tend to believe that what he said earlier was true, because even if he was there to take the blame, he wouldn't dare to lie to everyone about something like this.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but regret my impulsiveness earlier. I hadn't thought things through and had ended up in this dilemma.

Zhou Guan and Li Xiumei were also filled with regret at this moment, realizing that they shouldn't have spoken up in line with everyone else.

Now things are really messed up. They've got a handle on me and they're not letting it go. This matter is probably going to be difficult to resolve today.

"Mayor Luo! Didn't Committee Member Zhou just say that everyone is just doing their job, so there's no need for you to make a mountain out of a molehill..."

Fan Ming composed himself, looked at Luo Zhiguo, and said in a deep voice.

Zhou Guan also chimed in, "That's right, Mayor Luo! Everyone's just trying to do their job, and it's perfectly normal to have different opinions. If everyone were like you, making a mountain out of a molehill at the drop of a hat, who would dare to have different opinions at work in the future..."

It has to be said that none of the people who have worked in the system are simple; they are all cunning old foxes.

If it were the old Luo Zhiguo, he would have been completely convinced of his mistake by their words, and would have admitted his error and obediently apologized.

But now, Luo Zhiguo has been working with the county party secretary for a year and has learned a lot.

Standing on the side of the common people, and having already gone all out, they were extremely disdainful and contemptuous of the two men's words.

"Everyone knows perfectly well who's making a mountain out of a molehill. If you still think that way, then fine, let's go find the whole 'judge' and see who's really making a mountain out of a molehill..."

Looking at the two of them, he sneered and pressed closer.

"What do you want?"

Fan Ming realized that this situation was not a solution, and that if things escalated, it would be very detrimental to his side.

He feared that even Liu Ming wouldn't dare openly protect them, so he suppressed his anger, looked at Luo Zhiguo, and asked in a deep voice.

"Deputy Secretary Fan! Shouldn't someone be held accountable for making baseless accusations against others?"

Luo Zhiguo did not give up because of the other party's retreat. He sneered and continued to press forward step by step.

"you……"

Fan Ming's face was extremely gloomy, but he was helpless. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and looked at him, saying, "Mayor Luo! I was wrong just now, and I apologize to you."

"I apologize to you too!"

Seeing that Fan Ming had chosen to apologize, Zhou Guan immediately followed suit and apologized as well.

"I apologize to you too!"

Next was Li Xiumei, who looked at Luo Zhiguo with fear in her eyes and apologized.

"Tell me your mistakes! Where did you go wrong? Speak up, face them bravely, remember your errors, and avoid making the same mistakes again..."

Upon hearing the three men's apologies, Luo Zhiguo sneered, thinking to himself, "If apologies are useful, what's the point of having rules?"

He looked at the three of them with the air of a leader, and reprimanded them in a very stern tone.

Upon hearing his words, the three of them nearly vomited blood in anger. They all stared at him with eyes full of rage, feeling both furious and helpless.

The village party secretaries were stunned by Luo Zhiguo's departure. Initially, everyone questioned him, thinking that Luo Zhiguo was doomed.

Unexpectedly, the situation quickly changed. Luo Zhiguo made a move that left Chen Hua, the Party Secretary, powerless to retaliate, turning the tide, forcing Chen Hua and his associates to leave, and achieving a great victory.

Now, Fan Ming and others are forced to bow their heads and apologize, yet they are still treated like subordinates, left speechless by their questions, feeling both angry and helpless.

"Holy crap! Mayor Luo is amazing! He single-handedly took down all the main leaders of Bohou Town. That's incredible..."

Some people began to whisper among themselves, their gazes towards Luo Zhiguo filled with admiration mixed with deep apprehension.

"Mayor Luo! Did you really have to make things like this?"

Having no other option, Fan Ming could only look at Luo Zhiguo and ask in a deep voice.

"Yes! As the town mayor, you should unite the team, but your current approach is unforgiving even when you're in the right..."

Zhou Guan also spoke.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo sneered and said disdainfully, "Even the Party Secretary has taken the lead in sowing discord, so what do I, the town mayor, care about? Anyway, if anyone's talking about sowing discord, it's you guys who started it first. I just want an explanation..."
