Chapter 2330 - 2330

Not to mention, when this question was asked, Xiong Wenwu and Zhang Qidong were taken aback for a moment.

The two exchanged glances, looking rather serious, and looked at Liu Zhizhong together, actually asking back: "Zhizhong, how are you sending it?"

In unison, huh, haha...

Quite interesting.

Like excellent political allies.

At this moment, all three of them laughed.

Liu Zhizhong then laughed, "It's precisely because I don't know how to send it that I'm asking you two for advice."

Zhang Qidong touched his chin, adjusted his glasses, and seriously said:

"About this matter, indeed neither Mayor Xiong nor I have a clear idea. Logically, large-scale operations are not allowed now, so as you see, the Zhang Family invited guests, this time only standard-level cadres and above were involved. According to regulations, perhaps even the gift should not exceed a thousand! I guess I'll just give a thousand then, and cap it there."

Xiong Wenwu nodded, "Yeah, I'm probably around that amount too! Although the Zhang Family's banquet, the cost of the ingredients alone for each person exceeds a thousand, let's still follow the Commission for Discipline Inspection's regulations! Elder Zhang is a predecessor from the Southeast, also a predecessor from the provincial level, having a birthday, indeed giving a gift isn't excessive. I think, Zhizhong, you should just follow the trend!"

Liu Zhizhong said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll give a thousand too. However... A few days ago, there was an incident that made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, as a small standard-level cadre participating in the elder's birthday celebration, it's indeed a bit unusual, feels like something's bound to happen!"

Zhang Qidong slightly frowned, "Oh? What happened?"

At that moment, Liu Zhizhong talked about Zhang Xiaoyang installing a bugging device for him, saying that on that day Zhang Xiaoyang even came to invite guests for the birthday banquet!

All of a sudden, the two mayors gasped.

Xiong Wenwu squeezed the cup in his hand, with a look of contempt, said, "What's Zhang Xiaoyang up to, being so despicable? What does he mean by this?"

Zhang Qidong also became serious, extinguished the cigarette butt, said, "It's clear that Zhang Xiaoyang is treating Zhizhong as an enemy. He obviously sensed that Liu Zhizhong would be a strong opponent in his political life, so he started plotting insidiously ahead of time. Once Zhizhong encounters any issues, falls into his bugging range, it will become solid dark evidence! This guy is really insidious! Luckily, Zhizhong, you were already prepared!"

Xiong Wenwu nodded, "Yeah, Zhizhong, your strategy is good, really excellent people do excellent things. Seems like, Old Zhang, we also need to get a detection instrument like Zhizhong! Better safe than sorry!"

"Absolutely! Better safe than sorry. Preventing trouble before it happens, can't be wrong." Zhang Qidong was enlightened and actively responded.

Liu Zhizhong immediately said, "For you two to get this, it's indeed a safer approach. Later, I'll order it for you. It won't take many days to arrive. This thing, when used, is really effective."

The two mayors, seeing how he handled things, did not mention about paying, and directly expressed their gratitude.

Incidentally, Xiong Wenwu said, "Zhizhong, how do you plan to handle Zhang Xiaoyang bugging you? If not handled well, this could turn into a huge issue!"

Zhang Qidong also looked at Liu Zhizhong with concern, worried for this beloved disciple!
