Chapter 2324 - 2324:

Gu Man's face turned red, looking quite shy and charming, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

She lightly punched Zhang Xiaoyang's shoulder, saying in a coquettish voice, "Oh, Xiao Yang, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly feel sorry for him?"

Zhang Xiaoyang had a slight tendency to enjoy being mistreated, so he found the punch rather gratifying.

He giggled, looking at his lovely wife, feeling tumultuous inside.

"Haha, as long as you don't feel sorry, haha, after all, you're my wife, hehe..."

Zhang Xiaoyang said with a mischievous grin on his face, then wrapped his arm around Gu Man's small waist and directly pushed her onto the sofa...

Of course, inside Zhang Xiaoyang, half of him was wicked, and half was sinister.

Regarding Liu Zhizhong, who made so much money but only donated a bit over a hundred million, Zhang Xiaoyang was not satisfied.

For Grandpa Zhang Taikang's birthday banquet, inviting this kid was to test him, so let's test him first!

If Liu Zhizhong's birthday gift wasn't up to par, or if he failed other tests, he'd be in trouble.

Zhang Xiaoyang even had a scheme in mind, using his own wife to tempt Liu Zhizhong. If he took the bait and got caught, haha... it could completely ruin him, it's not impossible!

Aye~~~~

The disputes in officialdom, really are full of surprises, haha...

Liu Zhizhong and Zhang Xiaoyang were destined to be rivals long ago. Their contest had quietly begun.

In the end, who will emerge victorious? One can only wait and see.

As for Liu Zhizhong, naturally, he also received calls from Zhang Qidong and Xiong Wenwu. The two mayors expressed sympathy and care for Liu Zhizhong, soothing him and advising him to be patient for now, as one must sometimes bow under the eaves!

Zhang Qidong even meaningfully said: Don't worry, Zhizhong, clouds can't cover the sun forever!

Liu Zhizhong surely understood and grasped the meaning.

Towards the two leaders, he assured them not to worry, that he's not someone who cannot let go, and will keep working hard and focus on strengthening and expanding himself, not letting them down.

Xiong Wenwu also asked Liu Zhizhong if he wanted to report this to the Wang Family. Liu Zhizhong said it wasn't necessary, as it was a trivial matter and not worth bothering the Wang Family over.

Such a mindset and magnanimity truly impressed Mayor Xiong!

Not long after, Liu Zhizhong went to the scene of a wilderness survival fishing tournament at a reservoir in Shunping County, representing the City Culture and Tourism Bureau to pay respects to several renowned domestic fishing experts participating in the reservoir competition.

These experts were truly high-profile, with one even capable of wrestling with a tuna weighing over 700 pounds!

The fact that such influential figures came for this long-duration competition is rare, and naturally, their ability to drive sales was also strong, leading to booming sales!

Similarly, there's no possibility of special treatment. The exchange of supplies was strictly in accordance with the competition rules, with drones monitoring from above at all times, making secret deals impossible.

Moreover, any violations could be reported by fellow anglers, which if reported, would involve competition fraud, making it a big issue, and no one wants to take that risk. Since Dongnan City's Culture and Tourism Bureau had stated that such competitions would be held once in the first and second halves of the year, with considerable prize money and significant traffic.

Any blogger angler or traffic influencer aspiring to develop does not want to waste the opportunity and resources offered by the competition!

Fishing is a culture and a means of livelihood, those who know, know.

Liu Zhizhong went to pay respects on behalf of the City Culture and Tourism Bureau, as a key member of the organizing committee, to inspect and express condolences at the reservoir, bringing not food or drink, but some charcoal for heating and emergency medications.

Bringing some charcoal wasn't against the rules. Although Dongnan City's winter is relatively mild, there are still significant temperature differences between day and night. It gets relatively cold in the evening, so bringing some charcoal also reflected the leaders' humanistic care!

Besides Liu Zhizhong, local leaders like Zhang Xiaoyang also brought charcoal. Zhang Xiaoyang was very good at appearances, haha... He even representing the county government, brought heating stoves for the contestants. Of course, these weren't against the rules. After all, no one wants the contestants to freeze to death on their turf or encounter issues due to the cold.

And the medications were mainly cold and diarrhea medicines, which weren't against the rules either.

Other living supplies needed by the contestants, including toilet paper, had to be exchanged with their catches, haha...

Liu Zhizhong's visitation and inspection were, of course, accompanied by reporters, as well as live streaming by the City Culture and Tourism Bureau, making for a very decent scene.

For the contestants, Liu Zhizhong's condolences only included charcoal and medications.

Of course, in such a competition reservoir, besides these contestants, there were also people coming to fish in winter, staying at farm stays, or camping on their own.

These people came from all over. Many were attracted by Southeast's resources, as well as the competition, wanting to experience the survival fishing competition. And their presence in Dongnan City significantly boosted local consumption.

Some even came with their families to travel, fish, and spend the winter.

Ever since the competition began, Dongnan City's cultural tourism economic consumption index has been continuously rising, and the cultural tourism heat has been increasing every day.

Amid such an explosive atmosphere, Liu Zhizhong and Yu Haiping's company launched another high-profile event: the Pig Slaughtering Feast!

Whoa~~~~

This Pig Slaughtering Feast was something Liu Zhizhong specially arranged with an unpopular female streamer, set in her rural hometown in Yinghe County, Dongnan City, which was relatively remote.

However, for this Pig Slaughtering Feast, Liu Zhizhong, the City Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Yinghe County's county government were very supportive.

In five days, the county town to the female streamer's rural hometown had its cement road expanded from four meters to six meters across a full 29 kilometers!

Just as the road expansion was underway, the female streamer went online: My dad raised nine big fat pigs and only one daughter, and now she's almost thirty and still unmarried. As the year-end approaches, dad wants to slaughter two pigs. Anyone who helps hold down the pig, I'll invite to a pig slaughtering feast. I hope our front yard is filled with cars and people, including the elderly's future son-in-law, making the elders proud and happy to welcome the New Year. To welcome everyone, the road is being widened, with thirty-two excavators working day and night, cement mixers pouring day and night, all to welcome the future son-in-law!

Wow, Liu Zhizhong's team, their marketing skills are explosive...
