Chapter 2380 - 2380

Despite Liu Zhizhong believing he's done nothing wrong, the fact he was taken by the provincial disciplinary commission is still widely known, understood by those in the know.

In officialdom, certain widely spread rumors and affairs always bring about significant impact.

Good news doesn't leave the house, bad news travels a thousand miles, sigh~~~

Although Xiong Wenwu's issue hasn't been exposed yet, many people and things connected to him are indeed affected.

Perhaps, without finding him, nothing official will be announced, but those implicated are in trouble.

Now, even Dongnan City is acting on higher instructions, indicating that Xiong Wenwu has been hospitalized due to illness and is temporarily stepping away from his post.

Liu Zhizhong is aware of this information, meaning the organization won't announce Xiong Wenwu's downfall, and perhaps never will. Later, they might just close the case with a simple death due to illness.

In this regard, Liu Zhizhong is secretly a bit pleased. Because his method helped Xiong Wenwu escape sufferings, hehe.

And the organization, always valuing face-saving as a priority. Not being able to capture a heavyweight local figure like Xiong Wenwu is embarrassing, so they are too ashamed to announce anything!

Liu Zhizhong had no issues when he went to the provincial disciplinary commission.

He said what he ought to, and had nothing to say for what he shouldn't. In any case, he and Xiong Wenwu are clean, with no exchanges of benefits, which is quite reassuring.

Although Liu Zhizhong sensed a setting of inducement, he still got through safely.

At a secret office of the provincial disciplinary commission, Liu Zhizhong stayed for three days, sigh…

The restrictions weren't extensive, just no phone calls and no going out freely. Life was provided according to the standards of a principal-level cadre, which wasn't bad.

Three days later, two colleagues sent Liu Zhizhong back to school, which was Monday afternoon the following week.

Upon return, Liu Zhizhong felt a change in the gazes of those around him.

He could very well understand and sense this change.

It was a kind of doubtful and indifferent alienation. These people no longer had the closeness they had when he was class monitor.

Some even showed him looks of disdain.

But Zhang Xiaoyang, as the class monitor, still expressed a brief personal view, saying in the group: Liu Zhizhong is back from the provincial disciplinary commission, clean as a whistle, nothing happened, congratulating him on continuing in class, learning and living together, pursuing progress, heading towards a better future.

After his message, only a few people echoed, led surprisingly by Lu Jie, who just commented with a +1, followed by Du Shali and a few others.

Most of the others didn't say anything, just watched.

Liu Zhizhong was still in the group, chuckling to himself, feeling the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world.

He still replied: Thank you, class monitor, thank you everyone, I'm fine!

Zhang Xiaoyang was thinking, you're fine this time, what about the next? Who can guarantee? Anyway, Liu Zhizhong, you won't have good days ahead.

What can be said?

Being visited by the provincial disciplinary and detained for three days, once this gets out, it's simply deadly!

Zhang Xiaoyang was quite satisfied with the class's reaction to Liu Zhizhong's return, hehe…

Lu Jie still sent a message to comfort Liu Zhizhong, making him feel warm inside, but he still kept his distance from her.

Including when Lu Jie invited Liu Zhizhong for a walk in the evening to chat, which he brushed off, saying he needed better rest.

Keeping a distance from beauties in officialdom is Liu Zhizhong's way of life. Especially since Lu Jie belongs to the Zhang Family System's beauty, right?

Liu Zhizhong never believes Zhang Xiaoyang's hypocritical facade will truly let him off, just as he would never let Zhang Xiaoyang off, hehe…

Du Shali also sent a message, expressing concern for Liu Zhizhong. Naturally, Liu Zhizhong thanked her and maintained his distance.

In Dongnan City, at Liu Zhizhong's current unit, the leaders were somewhat silent, with hardly anyone greeting him, but everyone knew he was taken by the provincial disciplinary commission.

Only his former sister-in-law, Gu Yan, sent a voice message, greeting her former brother-in-law, showing great concern.

Her voice was sweet and soft, very pleasant to hear. The sentiment in her words, Liu Zhizhong naturally understood, though he felt somewhat helpless.

Of course, Liu Zhizhong treated Gu Yan with courtesy, after all, she's Zhang Xiaoyang's younger aunt, sigh... also part of the Zhang family.

Liu Zhizhong, after coming back, never sought out Wang Chenglong, because what's done is done. He still needs to focus on completing his study and training at the Party School, that is the priority.

But the thing Liu Zhizhong didn't expect at all was, how could Zhang Xiaoyang let him off?

Anyway, Liu Zhizhong dared to refuse becoming a son-in-law of the Zhang family, which truly looked down on them. Why should the Zhang Family keep him? Grandpa on his sickbed even specifically mentioned, we can't let Liu Zhizhong grow strong in Dongnan!

Sure enough, during the following study period, Liu Zhizhong gradually became marginalized in class, but Zhang Xiaoyang, as class monitor, didn't reduce his tasks at all.

Becoming the much-burdened student in class seems to be Liu Zhizhong's norm.

Some things in officialdom have an unspoken understanding, which relates to awareness.

Many class members are determined to align with the class monitor, understood by those in the know.

A few people sympathize with Liu Zhizhong but feel powerless to help.

Lu Jie is always conflicted, feeling sorry for Liu Zhizhong, yet not daring to show it, after all, no one wants to ruin their career for a bad omen!

Du Shali doesn't dare either, since there's Secretary Luo behind her. Secretary Luo even privately chatted with her, asking her to keep her distance from Liu Zhizhong, not to invite trouble.

Liu Zhizhong could sense these changes, but he wasn't lonely, his inner fortitude was quite strong.

What pleased him somewhat was that he visited the fishing spot, confirmed with Yu Haiping afterward, and that guy went on a ten-day wild fishing adventure, scoring big, haha...

Right there, Yu Haiping pulled up an 80+ kg giant bighead carp, creating a huge buzz.

Additionally, he caught 60+ kg grass carps and a 72 kg big carp. Even a wild native crucian carp weighing 3 kg 9 ounces was reeled in, truly impressive.

Besides this, catching 10, 20, 30 kg grass, carp, and silver carps were all too common.

All the big fish were released back by Yu Haiping, and he only consumed some smaller fish, just as living supplies.

This wild survival trip achieved great results, reaching nearly 500 million in sales quota. But when some people asked about fishing spots, Yu Haiping insisted on keeping them secret to continuously protect the ecology, which received unanimous praise.

Personally, he was given the cold shoulder by classmates, but the company was making money, so Liu Zhizhong wasn't downcast, haha.

However...
