Chapter 2322 - 2322

Damn...

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue briefly stirred, and then quieted down.

Liu Zhizhong was also a bit dumbfounded, almost ready to exchange glances with Zhang Qidong and Xiong Wenwu.

In any case, Zhang Qidong and Xiong Wenwu had already exchanged glances. They also looked at Liu Zhizhong, feeling that Liu Zhizhong was really composed; this young man, truly extraordinary.

And the Zhang Family's faction was overwhelmingly dominant here, so naturally, upon hearing Zhang Xiaoyang speak, they quickly reacted and began to flatter Zhang Xiaoyang.

"Hmm, County Mayor Zhang's words, I personally believe are quite reasonable."

"Director Liu indeed stands in the spotlight, has capability and financial resource, and certainly cannot forget the Party and people's nurturing…"

"There's quite a lot of places where the organization needs money, especially with the year end approaching…"

"…"

Oh hell...

Everyone was jabbering away, sparking up the flames one after another!

Zhang Xiaoyang obviously felt comfortable listening to this. The Zhang Family's circle must still give Zhang Xiaoyang face, haha…

The joy within him was truly an extraordinary feeling.

Liu Zhizhong was feeling nauseated hearing this, but this is reality; this is officialdom; this is the current officialdom and very likely the future too.

This state in Dongnan's official circles is not just limited to Dongnan!

In any place, at any time, what to do and how to postulate is vitally important, and Liu Zhizhong understands the underlying principles.

Therefore, his life goal, obviously is not to keep wrestling in Dongnan; those who understand, understand.

He must quickly break out of Dongnan and develop towards the Provincial City!

Looking at Dongnan's people's voracity, haha, no matter how much money you have, they can devour you bit by bit.

Damn Zhang Xiaoyang, this move is quite clever, pretty hateful.

Liu Zhizhong could even feel that kind of smugness in Zhang Xiaoyang's eyes looking at him; it's a kind of delight that demands bleeding out immensely...

But Liu Zhizhong was also very stable, with a smile, observing everyone flattering Zhang Xiaoyang politely, and even nodding.

At this moment, he was serene and gentle, carrying a gentlemanly aura!

Honestly, such a young man and such responses genuinely impressed many people within the Zhang Family's influence.

At this point, Secretary Cao Deyuan timely nodded and smiled at Liu Zhizhong, saying: "Hmm, Director Liu, what County Mayor Zhang proposed is truly right. You are an outstanding comrade of our Party, surely you have your ideas and methods, correct?"

Since Cao Deyuan said so, Zhang Qidong and Xiong Wenwu could only be cordial, expressing the idea that Liu Zhizhong indeed must express loyalty and gratitude towards the organization and the people.

In this situation, if Liu Zhizhong refused to donate—damn it—his career would be finished. There's even a chance the money earned might not be usable.

Such refusal, even Mr. Wang couldn't save him, you believe it?

And Zhang Qidong and Xiong Wenwu understood the critical implications, so the meaning was quite clear.

In the end, it depended on how Liu Zhizhong would respond.

Liu Zhizhong finally smiled and nodded, "Thanks to County Mayor Zhang for the reminder, and thank all leaders for your concern and favor. Repaying the organization and the people is human nature and is precisely what I intend to do after the Spring Festival. Since County Mayor Zhang brought this up today, I'd also publicly state my stance here. Furthermore, in such a meeting, ideas are gathered; wherever Dongnan City has financial shortages, leadership can suggest directions to Liu Zhizhong."

Aye~~~

As soon as he made this statement, some people gave thumbs up.

This kid Liu Zhizhong really knows how to handle things; he's adept at it!

By agreeing to donate, he's giving face to the Southeast Zhang Family and has signed his allegiance. From now on, whenever we demand money, it wouldn't be out of line.

So, immediately someone started off, beginning to ask for money.

Damn, once it started, the places asking for money became numerous.

Soon, Liu Zhizhong listened to monetary requests and agreed to donate immediately.

The first aspect was renovating and funding various district and county social welfare institutions, which he covered under the company's name, donating a toll of fifty million.

The second aspect was direct donation of 50 million under company name to the Municipal Red Cross. Everyone knows what type of entity the Red Cross is, but Liu Zhizhong really couldn't care less.

The third aspect involved the Municipal Care Work Committee, especially the Next Generation Growth Fund, to which Liu Zhizhong donated another 50 million.

The fourth aspect concerned the Municipal Public Security, Fire Emergency, Armed Police System, and garrison's Spring Festival greeting funds, again funded under Liu Zhizhong's company name, donating fifteen million.

These were all pledged by Liu Zhizhong, and as one of the company's shareholders, his words counted.

Thus, everyone responded with enthusiastic applause, the kind that wouldn't cease.

Ultimately, how much of this money will be used for official reasons, everyone knows, won't exceed 30%, haha…

This damn well is paying tuition, signing allegiance, and making it public, haha…

In result, this City Committee Member meeting, within Cao Deyuan's summary, highly praised Liu Zhizhong. After all, Cao Deyuan's aunt, well, is the Deputy President of the Municipal Red Cross. Their relationship is so good that they sleep on the same bed, hahaha…

Put it this way, out of the roughly over a hundred million Liu Zhizhong threw out, apart from Xiong Wenwu and Zhang Qidong, many big leaders can step in and share the loot.

Of course, if Xiong and Zhang wished to partake, they could rightfully claim their share. But their political aspirations are commendable, uninterested in money, so there's no need to argue with the Zhang Family over this piece of cake. Originally, such behavior is ghastly, and since they're munching on Liu Zhizhong, how could they bear to split a piece?

However, Liu Zhizhong's allegiance donation obviously won't appear in the City Committee Member meeting report and notification as news. It'll only emerge in the following day's news, praised under the name of Liu Zhizhong's company, without mentioning Liu Zhizhong, but Haiping will be mentioned, and that's enough.

When the meeting ended, despite Liu Zhizhong being ruthlessly drained, he stayed composed, peacefully heading to the parking lot to retrieve his car, intending to go home first.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoyang still enthusiastically approached his car, seemingly wanting to chat with him in front of the vehicle.

Seeing this piece of work, Liu Zhizhong just regarded him as a jerk, neither avoiding nor stepping back, instead confronting directly.

With a cheerful face, Zhang Xiaoyang came before Liu Zhizhong, saying: "Director Liu, today's performance was quite obedient, haha… Your demeanor moved me and amazed me quite a bit! In Dongnan, in front of the Zhang Family, your compliance truly shows understanding of the times, haha…"
