Chapter 2367 - 2367

Heiya Mountain Forest Park, although just a 4A scenic spot, is still an enchanting place for camping.

Located less than 60 kilometers from the Eastern Suburb of the Provincial City, it has long been a paradise for camping enthusiasts, with a great deal of popularity.

Before Liu Zhizhong's eyes, the campsite chosen by Zhang Xiaoyang is rather secluded, yet remarkably striking.

It is secluded because only luxury off-road vehicles can navigate the mixed gravel and loam road here.

The area is surrounded by dense woods.

Tall and sturdy trees stand like loyal sentinels, layering and completely isolating the noise from outside, providing an endless feeling of depth and tranquility.

The evening sunlight, filtering through the gaps in the foliage, scatters mottled light and shadow, akin to a painting meticulously crafted by nature.

A crystal-clear creek meanders past the large lawn of the campsite.

The creek water, under the sunlight, sparkles with shimmering glints, like a flowing diamond ribbon.

The stones at the creek bed are clearly visible, and occasionally you can see small fish darting playfully between the crevices.

The creek makes a big turn at the foot of a distant mountain. Because of the downstream dam, the water is deep and spans nearly fifty to sixty meters wide, undulating with waves, clearly a paradise for fishermen.

Indeed, on both sides of the riverbed near the dam, faint traces of fishing spots can be seen! However, due to the remoteness, ordinary fishing enthusiasts rarely venture here.

In this picturesque scenery, Zhang Xiaoyang's Unimog camper quietly sits like a majestic and elegant monarch. This guy set off way before Liu Zhizhong, so he arrived quite early.

The Unimog camper's robust lines and towering body exude an unparalleled sense of power.

The exquisite design and unique paintwork endow it with a fashionably luxurious air.

At this point, the car doors are open, the interior facilities are comprehensive, with cozy beds, a tidy kitchen, and a spacious living room—each detail revealing sophistication and convenience.

Now at dusk, enveloped in the natural charm and leisurely atmosphere, it's intoxicating to forget everything.

The returning birds sing joyful songs, as lively notes herald the overture of night.

The afterglow of the setting sun paints the entire campsite golden, while Zhang Xiaoyang, Lu Jie, and Du Shali gather together on the rooftop of the Unimog camper, preparing dinner in the breeze and coolness, appearing utterly relaxed and at ease.

Without the city's neon lights flashing, without the hustle and bustle of traffic, there is only serenity and peace, as if returning to the most authentic state of life, while the spirit gains unprecedented relaxation and solace.

Liu Zhizhong parked his car beside the Unimog, feeling that even his already super off-road vehicle seemed small in comparison.

Damn Zhang Xiaoyang, he's truly good at showing off!

Didn't he say he didn't like camping? Not even wanting to buy a camper, not because he can't afford it.

And yet?

In just a few days, this luxurious and imposing camper appeared, only after my off-road vehicle became a camping tool.

Liu Zhizhong fully understands that Zhang Xiaoyang's desire to compete with him has not faded. Sigh...

At this moment, Liu Zhizhong got out of the car and clearly saw the somewhat triumphant look in Zhang Xiaoyang's eyes atop the Unimog!

Zhang Xiaoyang waved his hand, "Hey, Comrade Zhizhong, our outdoor chef, we've been waiting for you! Come on, hop on my car. If your vehicle has any ingredients, you can bring them up, they'll all fit, haha..."

Lu Jie and Du Shali also waved towards Liu Zhizhong, with smiles filled with charm and greetings that made his heart pound.

This kind of environment, this kind of world, indeed suits certain expressions of desire.

Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to open the trunk and move the meat and vegetables into Zhang Xiaoyang's camper.

Climbing the sturdy little ladder onto the camper's roof took no effort at all.

After Liu Zhizhong finished moving, reaching the roof of the Unimog camper, it felt truly spacious, with an extraordinarily good view.

The evening breeze carried the fragrance of wildflowers in the grass, and this sensation was indescribably delightful.

Liu Zhizhong proceeded to cook the barbecue dinner together with the two beautiful women, and the feeling was quite pleasant.

Zhang Xiaoyang explicitly stated that he didn't cook; everything depended on the group.

Meanwhile, while everyone was cooking, this guy turned on the Unimog camper's sound system, playing soothing piano music.

Goodness, such camping life is simply too enjoyable.

As night fell, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, accompanied by the intoxicating scents of the top-grade white wine and wine brought by Zhang Xiaoyang.

Now, the Unimog camper's light strips also lit up, with romantic European and American lights and practical soft lighting, decorating the scene beautifully.

Such a setting indeed makes one forget worldly troubles, savoring the beauty of nature in the mountains and fields.

Everyone drinking, grilling skewers, is quite enjoyable!

Even Zhang Xiaoyang started discussing matters regarding Liu Zhizhong and Xiong Wenwu, saying, "Comrade Zhizhong, honestly, like you now, there's no need to toil in the officialdom with us. You've achieved financial freedom, and if you ever get implicated, it really isn't worth it!"

Liu Zhizhong forced a bitter smile, knowing Zhang Xiaoyang's words were bound to be mischievous.

Lu Jie chuckled, "Oh, exactly, Liu Zhizhong, if I were you, haha... I wouldn't become an official! Aren't you quite popular with Fishing Man Xiao Yu? Being a free and leisurely blogger is also not too bad!"

Du Shali also laughed and nodded, "In officialdom, once you're implicated, your future is tough! You decided not to be our leader anymore, considering this, right? What County Head Zhang and Mr. Lu said is true… If you make a bold retreat from politics, you'd definitely be more carefree."

Liu Zhizhong glanced at the three, feeling like today these two women and one man all wanted to persuade him to resign and retire! Was there a plan?

He shook his head with a bitter smile, carefully sprinkling spices, saying, "I understand your intentions. But for now, let's see how it goes; I'm yet to be affected by Mayor Xiong's incident, so I'll take it one step at a time. Unless absolutely necessary, I won't resign and leave. People, after all, need different pursuits, right?"

Zhang Xiaoyang laughed, yet seemed not to, nodded, "Ah, Liu Zhizhong, sometimes you're just too stubborn. When life calls for flexibility, you ought to be flexible; being too obstinate won't lead to a good ending!"
