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

Chu Hao witnessed Luo Zhiguo and Tong Zhen walking out of the hotel, and was utterly shocked.

They secretly wondered what the relationship was between Luo Zhiguo and Tong Wu, and why they stayed in the private room for so long before coming out.

You should know that I, as the county discipline inspection commission secretary, can only come in to offer a toast, and that's only because Tong Wu is my former superior.

But who is Luo Zhigang? He was just the secretary of a deceased county party secretary. How could he stay inside for so long?

Furthermore, the woman beside him appeared to have an extraordinary air about her; she was probably Tong Wu's niece or daughter.

Thinking of this, Chu Hao's expression turned serious, and he was almost certain that Luo Zhiguo and Tong Wu had an unusual relationship.

When he recalled how County Magistrate Zhang Qiang had made Luo Zhiguo take the blame in Bohou Town, his face turned deathly pale.

He quickly walked to the side, took out his phone, and dialed County Chief Zhang Qiang's number to discuss the matter.

Zhang Qiang's blood pressure has been a bit high lately, so he hasn't gone out for social events. He just finished dinner and is sitting on the sofa in the living room watching the news.

This is a mandatory course for every leader at or above the division level every night, and he is no exception.

Suddenly, his phone rang, interrupting his viewing of the evening news. He frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and answered the phone: "Hello!"

"County Magistrate! Excuse me, I have something I'd like to report to you..."

"Oh, it's Old Chu! What's up?"

Upon hearing Chu Hao's voice, Zhang Qiang's expression softened, and he spoke politely.

Without wasting words, Chu Hao immediately recounted Tong Wu's secret visit to Shunping County and his encounter with Luo Zhiguo.

He paused, then continued in a deep voice, "County Magistrate! From what I've observed, Jiang Min's secretary, Luo Zhiguo, has an unusual relationship with Tong Wu. What should we do...?"

"What! The newly arrived secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission, Tong Wu, has secretly come to Shunping County..."

Upon hearing that Tong Wu had secretly come to Shunping County, Zhang Qiang could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"County Chief! Don't worry, only I knew about Secretary Tong's visit. I also probed him, and it seems he's not here for work; there might be another reason."

Chu Hao understood what Zhang Qiang was worried about and immediately offered an explanation.

"I understand! Old Chu, it's better for the county to remain calm for a while. Let the people below cause trouble; it's none of our business."

It has to be said that County Magistrate Zhang Qiang is a cunning old fox, having heard Chu Hao's explanation.

He immediately grasped the key point and then made arrangements.

"County Magistrate! What should we do about Luo Zhiguo's matter? Should we continue to let him go to Bohou Town?"

Chu Hao looked serious and asked in a deep voice. What he was most concerned about right now was Luo Zhiguo's trip to Bohou Town.

You should know that if that matter hadn't been handled properly, it could have caused a major upheaval in the Shunping County system.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang frowned, stepped into the study, lit a cigarette, and began to think seriously.

I thought Luo Zhiguo was just a secretary, but I never expected that he would get involved with the newly appointed secretary of the municipal discipline inspection commission.

This forced him to take the matter seriously, and he thought that sending that kid down to Bohou Town was a mistake.

But now that the die is cast, there's no going back.

What I can do now is to extricate myself from the Bohou Town incident and let my subordinates continue to target Luo Zhiguo.

Anyway, someone has to be responsible for the things in Bohou Town, so we'll proceed according to the original plan.

Even if you ultimately fail, you've already extricated yourself from the situation and shifted the blame to your subordinates, so the fire won't reach you.

Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision to conceal Luo Zhiguo's relationship with the city leaders and not tell his subordinates.

Instruct your subordinates to continue according to the original plan, thereby resolving the situation in Bohou Town.

"Old Chu! There's no turning back now, the die is cast. Like I said, the priority is maintaining stability in the county. We can stay out of things below, but we'll step in when necessary..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao immediately understood Zhang Qiang's meaning, and his expression changed drastically.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiang was utterly ruthless in achieving his goal, which sent chills down his spine.

However, this is also the safest approach at present. After all, the matter in Bohou Town must be resolved eventually, and someone has to step forward and take responsibility for it.

Luo Zhiguo had no idea that he had only come out to meet his junior sister.

I also happened to meet my junior sister's elders, which surprisingly caused quite a reaction.

Unexpectedly, this very fact changed some of the originally planned things.

Just as he arrived at work in the morning, the government office called to say that the county head wanted to see him.

This news immediately changed the way those in the county committee who had previously gloated looked at him.

But he ignored the changes in those people. After receiving the call, he remained calm and showed no signs of emotion. He then left the county committee and rode his motorcycle to the government office.

The county party committee office building was not far from the county government office building. About ten minutes later, Luo Zhiguo arrived at the third floor of the government office building.

"Hello, Secretary Wang! I received a call from the government office saying the county head wants me to come over..."

Zhang Qiang's secretary is named Wang Zhi. The two know each other, but their relationship is not good, and they even have some past grievances.

Since the leaders are at odds, the secretary has to follow the leader's lead, so the two of them are also competing with each other in private.

"Oh, it's Luo Mi! Congratulations on your promotion to acting mayor of Bohou Town. I'll have to rely on you a lot in the future..."

Wang Zhi had no idea why Zhang Qiang had called Luo Zhiguo over. Upon seeing him, he smiled and offered his congratulations.

But he had an arrogant air about him, with a sarcastic and cynical smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Secretary Wang! I'll definitely give you priority when there's an opportunity in the future, after all, we were both secretaries to our superiors before..."

Having already fallen to this state, Luo Zhiguo had nothing left to fear.

Faced with Wang Zhi's sarcasm and ridicule, he retorted without hesitation.

"you……"

Wang Zhi never expected that even though he was about to die, he would still dare to be so arrogant in front of him, and he was so angry that his face turned ashen.

However, since the boss was in the office, he dared not shout or make a scene there.

She gave Luo Zhiguo a venomous look and said through gritted teeth, "Luo Zhiguo! I'm waiting for you to take care of me..."

With that, he turned and went into Zhang Qiang's office. A few seconds later, he came out and let Luo Zhiguo in.

Luo Zhiguo looked at him with disdain. No matter what, he was now a section chief, while Wang Zhi was just a secretary.

Therefore, he was full of confidence at that moment, which immediately gave Wang Zhi the feeling of being in front of a leader.

This made him feel extremely humiliated and furious. He stared coldly at Luo Zhiguo as he entered the leader's office.

"Hello, County Head! I am Luo Zhiguo..."

Upon entering the office, I saw Zhang Qiang sitting at his desk, wearing glasses and working diligently.

Despite harboring resentment towards this person for making him take the blame, Luo Zhiguo suppressed his anger and greeted him respectfully.
