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

After listening to Luo Zhiguo's words, Chen Hua's side and Fan Ming's side each had their own thoughts. Among those present, only Lin Ru, the propaganda committee member in her early thirties, was the most relaxed and had no thoughts at all.

Chen Hua smiled slightly, looked at Luo Zhiguo, thought for a moment, and asked, "Mayor Luo! We've actually found a sales channel for aloe vera, even if we can only sell two-thirds of it. This will still help solve a lot of problems for the villagers. What are your opinions on the work arrangements?"

Actually, his question was just bullying, because Luo Zhiguo had only been there for two or three days and he didn't even know everyone yet.

Even if he wanted to assign tasks, he had no soldiers under his command.

"Secretary Chen! Please make the arrangements."

Luo Zhiguo didn't think much of it, looked at Chen Hua, and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hua nodded in satisfaction, a sly glint in his eyes. He thought to himself, "So what if you have the ability to find sales channels for aloe vera? In the end, everything is still up to me."

"Ahem!"

He coughed twice, looked around at everyone, and then began to assign tasks.

Fan Ming remained silent, secretly sneering to himself. He thought to himself, "Chen Hua, I'll let you be smug for now. Tomorrow or the day after, I'll show you what it means to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Today's Party Committee meeting went very smoothly. Everyone acted as if nothing had happened this morning, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

After the meeting, everyone left. Luo Zhiguo also took his notebook, walked out of the conference room, and went downstairs back to his office.

"lead!"

Qiao Yan walked in from outside and then handed him a document outlining the aloe vera allocation quotas that she had discussed with the village secretaries that day.

There are no secrets at Party committee meetings, and Qiao Yan overheard the proceedings. She glanced at Luo Zhiguo, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Leader! I heard that Secretary Chen's attitude suddenly changed during the meeting. I feel something's off. You should be careful..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo, who was engrossed in reading documents, looked up, his brows furrowing slightly. After a moment's thought, he asked in a deep voice, "Director Qiao! Are you worried that Secretary Chen and his group might pull some kind of dirty trick?"

"Boss! You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be too careful. It's always better to be cautious..."

Qiao Yan glanced at him and offered a reminder, then thought for a moment before continuing softly, "I've been working in the Party and Government Office of Bohou Town for several years now, and I know Secretary Chen's personality very well. When Mayor Liu was in charge, he was always suppressed, and he couldn't resist. Now that Mayor Liu is gone, he definitely doesn't want to be suppressed anymore. Plus, you were originally in charge of solving the aloe vera problem in Bohou Town, so now that you have connections, he'll definitely have ideas, but he'll still be unwilling to share them with you..."

After listening to Qiao Yan's words, Luo Zhiguo fell into deep thought. Recalling Chen Hua's performance at the Party Committee meeting earlier, he realized that there was indeed a problem.

I only blame myself for being naive at the time, thinking they wanted to do things for the people, so I didn't think much of it.

It seems that within the system, one must never let down one's guard, otherwise one will be sold out and still have to count the money for the other party.

Fortunately, the buyer this time is connected to Tong Zhen, so I'm not worried about anyone stealing the credit. Otherwise, I would have really fallen for Chen Hua and his gang's trick this time.

Thinking of this, he looked at Qiao Yan, smiled slightly, and said, "Director Qiao! Thank you for reminding me. I know what to do now."

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Director Qiao! Now I'll assign you some work. You can keep this list of aloe vera allocation quotas for each village. You'll be in charge of purchasing aloe vera from each village in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yan was overjoyed. She hadn't expected him to give her so much power. She knew that if this matter was handled well...

That would definitely be a huge political achievement, and I would be even more confident of being promoted to director of the Party and Government Office.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that Luo Zhiguo did not leave, but remained in Bohou Town, still in charge of purchasing aloe vera.

Otherwise, no matter how great her achievements are, all her efforts will be in vain if the leader says the word.

"Thank you, sir! I will do my best to handle this matter well."

Looking at Luo Zhiguo, she made her promise with a serious expression and a firm tone.

Luo Zhiguo smiled slightly, nodded, and then signaled her to leave.

After she left, Luo Zhiguo picked up the phone and dialed the number Tong Zhen had given him the day before.

Hello!

The call connected, and a man's voice came through.

"Hello! I am Luo Zhiguo, the mayor of Bohou Township. Someone asked me to contact you to discuss the purchase of aloe vera."

Luo Zhiguo explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the man on the other end of the phone politely replied, "Hello, Mayor Luo! My name is Yang Lin, and I'm the person in charge of the pharmaceutical factory purchasing aloe vera from Bohou Town."

"Hello, Mr. Yang! Here's the thing: after today's meeting, we've finalized the allocation of aloe vera shares. Could you please send a truck down tomorrow to begin purchasing?"

Luo Zhiguo got straight to the point.

"Okay, Mayor Luo! No problem. I'll personally take the car down tomorrow. See you then."

Yang Lin readily agreed.

The aloe vera business was finally about to begin, and Luo Zhiguo was overjoyed. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the other party, he hung up the phone.

He checked the time; it was already time to leave work. He stood up, tidied himself up for a while, then left the office and went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch.

Tonight is a happy day in Bohou Town; everyone is very happy.

Chen Hua, Ye Hao, and Qian Tao were drinking and chatting in the county, discussing how to pick Luo Zhiguo's peaches the next day.

Little did they know that while they were discussing how to pick the peaches, Liu Ming, Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei were also drinking and chatting.

They were plotting how to swallow the peach whole, leaving Chen Hua and the others with nothing.

In Bohou Town, villagers were thrilled to hear that aloe vera would be purchased starting tomorrow.

The villagers were even more grateful to Luo Zhiguo, especially after learning that he had resolved the matter.

Furthermore, those villagers who had caused a scene at the town government and then witnessed Luo Zhiguo publicly making promises were filled with even greater admiration for him.

Then they all discussed how fortunate Bohou Town was to have an official like Luo Zhiguo.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, the sun rose as usual, and it was another beautiful day with clear skies.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Luo Zhiguo sat in his office, processing documents while waiting for Yang Lin to come down.

Qiao Yan went to the village early in the morning. Today she needed to coordinate the aloe vera quotas of each village to make it easier to load the truck later.

"Knock knock knock..."

There was a sudden knock on the office door. Luo Zhiguo, who was engrossed in reading documents, called out, "Come in."

Immediately afterward, Qin Lu entered with two men. Her expression was serious, her eyes sharp as she stared at Luo Zhiguo. She said sternly, "Luo Zhiguo! We're from the county discipline inspection commission. Someone has reported you for embezzlement and lifestyle issues. Please come with us to the county discipline inspection commission for investigation..."
