Chapter 2326 - 2326: Approaching the Spring Festival

This time Wang Chenglong came to Southeast not to propose for his sister, but his admiration for Liu Zhizhong has increased quite a lot.

In this situation, basically, it's like the 八字 (the characters that make up a person's birth date, used in fortune telling) where only the first stroke is written, and just the second stroke is missing.

If Liu Zhizhong really integrates into the Wang Family, in this province, whether it's becoming an official or making money, it's basically settled.

What the Old Wang Family didn't foresee is that Zhang Qidong is already considering taking a son-in-law, and plans to implement it during the Spring Festival.

Because, during this Spring Festival, Zhang Qidong's daughter will return from the United States to visit her father, taking a break during school's spring vacation.

Well, haha... isn't it just natural to have a marriage meeting, talk about relationships?

As for Liu Zhizhong, he's really devoted at work; on one hand, he's focusing on cultural and tourism work; on the other, he still needs to practice together with the municipal basketball team.

Xiong Wenwu's physical recovery is very fast; he's quite a great player. Liu Zhizhong, as a young force, is even more remarkable.

In the municipal-level invitational tournaments, haha, they're mostly composed of members in their forties and fifties, add a few in their twenties and thirties, it's really impressive.

This time the municipal Spring Festival invitational tournament, the Dongnan Team still has a chance to win the championship. By then, it's just about whether the representative team from a district in the Provincial City can beat them.

Unknowingly, Gu Yan's interview has ended, and the final admission results are out.

When Gu Yan got the results, she was dumbfounded...

She felt that her performance in the interview was quite good. Moreover, one of the interviewers was actually the same person Brother Zhang Xiaoyang had greeted at an event, who even smiled at her and asked several pre-prepared questions!

Gu Yan felt that this time, getting the public service position was an absolute certainty.

But little did she know, Zhang Xiaoyang went to great lengths to get the interviewer's spot, and then persuaded one of the interviewers with just one request: No matter how well Gu Yan performs, just make sure she doesn't pass.

The other party understands Zhang Xiaoyang's approach because Zhang Xiaoyang said: His wife has only this sister, and his wife doesn't want her sister to work in the Provincial City, as it's too far away. Besides, in Dongnan City, nothing is lacking, and the job can be arranged better.

When Gu Yan saw the results, she cried because she didn't pass.

She secretly thought, if I had asked Brother Zhizhong for help earlier, perhaps things wouldn't turn out like this?

First thing, she informed Liu Zhizhong about the result.

At that time, Liu Zhizhong was in another county, observing the county-level leadership civil servant basketball fitness tournament, and was quite puzzled seeing the result.

Logically, Gu Yan's written exam was very good, and with the Zhang Family's involvement in the interview, there shouldn't have been any issues, so why didn't she pass?

Liu Zhizhong didn't realize it was Zhang Xiaoyang who caused trouble, he could only console Gu Yan, saying don't be too upset, at worst participate in the municipal exam in February at Dongnan City, stay in Dongnan, develop Dongnan, Dongnan will have good prospects. Moreover, if you want to take the Dongnan exam, with your brother-in-law there, isn't it a sure thing?

Gu Yan was a bit frustrated, but could only agree and said, fine, then I'll take the Dongnan exam!

However, she was also excited, saying: "Brother Zhizhong, are you going to represent the municipal leadership team in the Spring Festival Cup?"

"Haha, yes indeed, will you come cheer for me then?"

"I'll definitely come, I've already bought a set of tickets! Hope you and your team go further and win the championship!"

"Thank you, I'll do my best..."

"I'll bring my sister to cheer for you too!"

Liu Zhizhong: "..."

Hey, what can I say?

This former sister-in-law, are you intentionally making the former brother-in-law speechless? Haha...

If Zhang Xiaoyang hears about his wife going to cheer for her ex-boyfriend, what would he think?

But anyway, Gu Yan and Liu Zhizhong never thought that Gu Yan's failure was Zhang Xiaoyang's doing.

Gu Man didn't expect it either, rather she accompanied Zhang Xiaoyang in comforting Gu Yan at dinner.

Zhang Xiaoyang even patted his chest to assure, Gu Yan should quickly register for the municipal exam in February, brother-in-law guarantees you'll succeed, whichever department you want to take, you shall pass it.

This kind of Zhang Xiaoyang, speaking with such confidence, certainly has his reasons, after all, the entire Dongnan City is essentially under the Zhang Family's control! Regarding a civil service exam, it's really not a big deal, haha...

In a blink of an eye, it got closer and closer to the Lunar New Year, and Dongnan City's cultural and tourism consumption market, with the advancement of various activities, has indeed set a new record.

It's estimated that there will be three to four million people flocking into Dongnan City, including tourists of course, and also migrant workers returning home. This kind of population flow brings considerable consumer spending.

Anyway, during Spring Festival, all the major hotels in Southeast City District are fully booked, as long as they are of a slightly higher level, they're basically fully occupied.

Furthermore, as students' winter vacation starts gradually, Dongnan City's cultural and tourism industry becomes even more booming.

Behind all these activities, the main driving force Liu Zhizhong once again enters the radar of leaders at various levels; he truly is an exceptional young man!

Of course, Liu Zhizhong's previous recruitment also turned out quite well.

By the time Spring Festival Cup starts, Liu Zhizhong becomes even busier, with hardly any normal eating times.

He has to manage cultural and tourism projects, train and play matches, plus there are many team networking activities; for district and county-level Spring Festival Cups, he sometimes had to attend as a guest commentator, he's very occupied.

With all this, Zhang Qidong's daughter returns, and he feels embarrassed asking Liu Zhizhong out for a meal, as this student is really too busy.

Fortunately, even though Liu Zhizhong is busy, he fully participates in the municipal basketball invitational tournament!

Among the province's 21 cities and counties, 17 teams came to Southeast to participate in the invitational tournament, after all, the prize money is tempting. Meanwhile, the policy promotes enhancing leadership physical fitness, encourages Party and government staff to love sports and build a good physical image, which is inherently positive.

This invitational tournament was even featured on provincial news, its influence is quite significant.

In this kind of competition, Liu Zhizhong is an absolute star. But he knows well how to control the game's pace; against weaker teams, he plays slowly, doesn't win by much, within 12 points.

Against strong teams, he plays hard, doesn't lose, wins by only seven or eight points.

Therefore, everyone is not too tired, and it's indeed two matches in three days, keeping winning, advancing strongly towards the championship!

So, in the provincial sports channel's broadcast, the host commented: Dongnan Team, indeed meets weakness with weakness, and strength with strength!

Losing to Dongnan City's team doesn't make others feel embarrassed, it's acceptable, the loss wasn't by much, haha… officialdom is all about human relationships, isn't the basketball court too? Hehe...

As the Lunar New Year holiday officially opens, Dongnan City's cultural and tourism activities really reach their peak...
