Chapter 2385 - 2385:

For five full days, Liu Zhizhong was fully engaged in organizing materials and listing data, finally producing this brilliant report.

After the report was submitted to the director, Liu Zhizhong indeed felt a bit exhausted, so he felt that since it was already Friday, he could have a good rest this weekend.

His idea of rest was simply going to find Yu Haiping, doing some fishing, and relaxing.

But who knew, on Friday afternoon, a sudden official reassignment came down.

No one expected that Liu Zhizhong, who was initially a City Committee selected candidate, now was directly arranged by the City Organization Department to head to the grassroots as a town mayor with a division-level cadre status.

This mayor position was shockingly in a remote township in Dongjiang District, and it was the poorest township named Linxi Town.

Liu Zhizhong was dumbfounded, almost unable to understand why.

Being the government leader of a local township is indeed a powerful leadership position. However, what's the use of going to the poorest township?

Almost everyone in the bureau knew that Liu Zhizhong was being suppressed, and this setback seemed very bleak with no chances of turning the tables!

Although he was still young, he was sent to the most impoverished and remote township. What does this mean? This damn well isn't nurturing, is it?

In the officialdom of the small Southeast area, remote townships have only one use: to accommodate idle marginal cadres, those with no hope of promotion, just to muddle through to retirement, and that's that.

Of course, marginal cadres are those without room for advancement or those who are being suppressed, just like Liu Zhizhong, hehe...

Liu Zhizhong completely felt the pressure being exerted by the Zhang Family. Or to put it directly: it was Zhang Xiaoyang who was pushing the suppression against him.

Faced with such a reassignment, what could Liu Zhizhong say? He could only silently accept it.

Besides, the director of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau and other leaders actually hypocritically congratulated him, saying how Director Liu was sinking from the city bureau to the grassroots for practice, how it was a rare opportunity, that it must be the organization giving him a chance for focused nurturing, wishing Director Liu a bright future!

But everyone knew that Director Liu's trip to Linxi town this time meant a future worth shit!

A future? Don't even think about it!

Thinking about the grudges between him and Zhang Xiaoyang, everyone understood this game.

After receiving the reassignment order, Liu Zhizhong clearly realized the beginning of the suppression, but he still accepted it gracefully, and even thanked the organization and unit leaders!

Gu Yan, upon hearing of this matter, directly went to Liu Zhizhong's office.

But little did she know, Liu Zhizhong at that time had already packed up and driven away. First, he would spend the weekend at home, then report to Dongjiang District next Monday, and then head to the township to report, as was the process for assuming office.

Gu Yan still sent the message to her sister Gu Man, posted it anyway, and even told her sister: Was brother-in-law really this ruthless, relegating Brother Zhizhong to that poor township?

Gu Man, upon seeing this situation, was somewhat dumbfounded too, really didn't expect such a ruthless maneuver from her husband. Wasn't this blatantly forcing Liu Zhizhong onto a dead end?

Gu Man was very aware of Linxi Town. That place was so isolated it wasn't fit for anyone to stay! Zhang Xiaoyang, having taken over Liu Zhizhong's position by becoming the class leader of the training study class, now that Liu Zhizhong faced setbacks, he just added insult to injury?

However, Gu Man couldn't call her husband to question anything, otherwise she'd be considered still concerned about her ex-boyfriend, which wouldn't be good for the marital relationship. She merely felt a bit indignant inwardly for Liu Zhizhong.

As for Liu Zhizhong, upon returning home, he had already started researching Linxi Town. Meanwhile, he also sent a message to Wang Chenglong regarding his reassignment arrangement.

But who knew, Wang Chenglong had already blocked him, the message couldn't be sent through, he was no longer a friend.

Liu Zhizhong felt a sinking feeling in his heart, damn it, when one's career fails, everything else fails too, no support anymore...

He was a bit unwilling to give up and attempted to call Wang Chenglong, oh dear... The number you have dialed is not in service...

What happened to Wang Chenglong?

It's not like because of me, a small figure, he'd even cancel his number, right?

Liu Zhizhong looked at the sky outside the window, feeling a bit despondent...

Could it be... something happened to the Wang Family?

My God, the mighty Wang Family, something would happen?

If this were true, it certainly would be a major event in the province, even shaking the country, sigh~~~~

Liu Zhizhong had an unspeakable ominous premonition...

Liu Zhizhong thought he might be implicated, sigh...

But no matter what happens, he must continue his life, although he might be implicated, the problem shouldn't be too serious.

Because his dealings with the Wang Family were always legitimate and legal, straightforward, logical, and able to withstand scrutiny.

It's just… will his company be affected?

Liu Zhizhong, while researching Linxi Town, was also somewhat worried.

Linxi Town, a very intriguing place.

It is the furthest township from Dongjiang District, where Lu Jie serves as the district mayor. Although Dongjiang District is one of the three districts under municipal jurisdiction, its overall terrain is quite long and narrow.

And Linxi Town is at the northernmost edge of the narrow stretch in Dongjiang District, surprisingly 100 kilometers away from the main urban area, with no direct expressway access, only partly reachable by national and provincial roads, and mostly by county and township roads.

Linxi Town is also adjacent to a river called Zhangjia Creek, thus the name.

Beyond Zhangjia Creek lies another prefecture-level city, Cangdong City. Zhangjia Creek is equivalent to the border river between the two cities.

Around Zhangjia Creek is a minority autonomous township of Cangdong City, which also belongs to a poor and remote area.

Linxi Town's water routes are underdeveloped, but Zhangjia Creek is still a quite large river, nearly 200 kilometers long, with Linxi Town situated in its midstream area, surrounded by high mountains and deep valleys, the environment perilous.

Here, there are no expressways, no railways, while the whole town still has over thirty thousand permanent residents, the economy is practically nothing.

Poor and remote, high mountains and deep valleys, ravines run across, farming yields no grain, farming is hard to manage, let alone any industry, this place is impoverished beyond reason.

For a place like this, as a haven for political figures without prospects, it's literally perfect for exile and settlement.

Liu Zhizhong, such an outstanding young talent, really got the full treatment by being dispatched to such a place, haha… it should be said, his foreseeable future seemed rather limited too.

However, while Liu Zhizhong was like this in his career, his business was not so. After researching and analyzing Linxi Town, his eyes lit up.

This place could definitely develop tourism fishing economy, couldn't it? There must be excellent fishing resources and environment, right?

This guy, going to such a poor place and still wanting to develop the economy, is just unprecedented, isn't he?

Meanwhile, isn't this also related to the company's business, conveniently two birds with one stone?
