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

After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhiguo did not go back immediately. Instead, he went to investigate the village before riding his motorcycle back to the Party and Government Office with Gao Yang.

When he returned to the Party and government office compound, the meeting in the small auditorium had just ended, and everyone was walking outside.

Upon seeing Luo Zhiguo, Liu Ming immediately whispered in Xu Jing's ear, "Minister Xu! That's Luo Zhiguo."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing stood still with a gloomy face, waiting for Luo Zhiguo to come over.

"Hello, Minister Xu!"

Luo Zhiguo walked up to Xu Jing in a generous manner, without extending his hand, but simply smiled slightly and greeted her.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Jing became even angrier, coldly rebuking him: "Luo Zhiguo! Don't you know the new Party Secretary is here today?"

"I know!"

Luo Zhiguo nodded and answered.

"Hmph! I know why you're not welcoming me, yet you still deliberately went to the countryside to conduct research!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing stared at him sharply and questioned him in a cold voice.

Facing her, the head of the organization department, Luo Zhiguo remained calm, smiled, and replied, "Minister Xu! Shouldn't it be the organization committee member's job to receive the new Party Secretary? You're demanding I also greet him; isn't that a bit bureaucratic? Besides, when I took office, no one greeted me. Why didn't you, the organization minister, say a word then? But when it comes to Liu Ming, you get angry at me. Your actions make me suspect you're just flattering the county magistrate..."

These words immediately changed everyone's expression, and they all looked at Luo Zhiguo with disbelief.

I never expected him to be so bold as to speak to the Minister of Organization like that.

Xu Jing flew into a rage, pointing at Luo Zhiguo and shouting, "Luo Zhiguo! Do you even respect your superiors...?"

"Minister Xu! Tell me, how come I don't see the leaders? Was I wrong about what I said earlier, or did I accuse you of not flattering the county magistrate?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo smiled faintly, looked at Xu Jing who was furious, and asked calmly.

"Luo Zhiguo! What kind of attitude is this?"

Liu Ming, standing to the side, was also furious. He stared coldly at Luo Zhiguo and shouted angrily.

Luo Zhiguo looked him up and down, then said with disdain, "Liu Ming! I said yesterday that it's pathetic that someone like you has the nerve to return to Bohou Town as the Party Secretary..."

"you……"

Liu Ming was so angry he almost vomited blood, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time while pointing at him.

At this moment, Xu Jing stared coldly at Luo Zhiguo and angrily questioned, "Luo Zhiguo! What do you mean by that? Do you want to defy the organization's arrangements?"

"Minister Xu! I heard that you praised Secretary Liu to the skies at the Standing Committee meeting, saying that he was very capable in Bohou Town and that he led the planting of aloe vera in various villages, which led to the current situation in Bohou Town. I really don't know if you blushed when you said those words, or if you felt any remorse..."

Looking at Xu Jing, Luo Zhiguo couldn't help but tell Ma Teng about how this woman had been so shameless and blatant in the Standing Committee meeting.

So he couldn't contain his anger and launched into a tirade of sarcasm at Xu Jing, followed by a cold rebuke.

Everyone probably knew through connections that Liu Ming was coming to Bohou Town to serve as the Party Secretary, but they didn't know about some things that happened at the Standing Committee meeting.

Upon hearing Luo Zhiguo's words, everyone except Fan Ming, Zhou Guan, and Li Xiumei looked at Xu Jing with strange eyes.

Xu Jing was furious. In all her years in the system, this was the first time she had met someone like Luo Zhiguo who dared to say anything.

For a moment, she didn't know how to refute him, because what he said was true. Ma Teng had said the same thing to her at the meeting.

She just didn't expect that Luo Zhiguo would bring up the old issue again today and criticize her once more.

Immediately, she regretted calling Luo Zhiguo back. If she had known this would happen, she would have pretended not to know anything.

After the meeting, I should leave immediately so that I won't lose face like I am now.

"Luo Zhiguo! You have no respect for the organization or your superiors. I'm going to report this to the county and have you transferred. A person like you is not fit to be the mayor of Bohou Town."

Liu Ming angrily pointed at Luo Zhiguo and shouted through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiguo sneered, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at him, and said sarcastically, "That's right! I'm not qualified to be the mayor of Bohou Town. You, Secretary Liu, are the most qualified. You colluded with the buyers to force the villages to plant aloe vera. After the aloe vera grew, the buyers ran away, and you ran away too, afraid of taking responsibility. You left no one to buy the aloe vera in the villages of Bohou Town, and yet you were promoted to the Party Secretary of Huangtong Town for this. Now that the aloe vera problem in the villages of Bohou Town has been solved, you're running back here like a lapdog..."

Luo Zhiguo felt extremely pleased when he said these words.

Because he had kept these words to himself all along, wanting to but not daring to say them because he had no opportunity.

Today he finally decided to go all out. Since the political environment in Shunping County had become like this, and he was disappointed with it, he had nothing to worry about.

Everyone knows about this, but things like this are simply not something that can be discussed openly.

So no one would bring up such a thing in public, but Luo Zhiguo did just that.

However, they still said it in front of Liu Ming, the person in question, even though the Minister of Organization was also there.

Everyone was immediately impressed by his courage, but at the same time, they also felt a deep sense of dread towards him.

"Luo Zhiguo! What nonsense are you spouting?"

Liu Ming's face was extremely ugly at this moment. He pointed at Luo Zhiguo and reprimanded him in a trembling voice.

"I'm talking nonsense! Fine, let's go to the city and ask the leaders to send a working group down to investigate whether I'm lying or not..."

Luo Zhiguo looked at Liu Ming with a cold smile and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming was about to say something when Xu Jing immediately stopped him.

Xu Jing knew in her heart that Luo Zhiguo was going all out at this moment. If they really went to fight head-on, the matter would escalate to the city level.

In the end, they might be the ones who suffer, because almost everyone in Shunping County knows about this, and it can't be kept secret at all. As long as it's investigated, it will be confirmed.

"Luo Zhiguo! I will report your attitude today to the leadership. You'd better watch yourself."

Looking at Luo Zhiguo, Xu Jing didn't want to stay there any longer and embarrass herself, so she left a harsh remark and prepared to leave.

"Minister Xu! I'm currently conducting research in various villages. Did you call me back just for this?"

Logically speaking, things have escalated to this point, so it's already acceptable.

But Luo Zhiguo was still very angry. Looking at Xu Jing, who was about to leave, he asked in a flat tone.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing paused, gritted her teeth, and glared at Luo Zhiguo with eyes full of anger. She said coldly, "Luo Zhiguo! I'm the Organization Minister, am I not allowed to call you back?"
