Chapter 2386 - 2386

Outstanding individuals are like gold; they will shine no matter where they are, right?

Liu Zhizhong hadn't even arrived in Linxi yet, but he had already immersed his whole heart and mind into researching and understanding it.

He even became a lifetime member, downloaded a contour satellite map, and studied Linxi's rivers, mountains, and geographical environment overnight.

At the same time, he focused on all available information about Linxi, including its historical evolution, local customs and products, and economic development.

That day at two o'clock in the morning, Liu Zhizhong finally took a shower, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

In his mind, Linxi had already become profoundly etched.

Let's first do all that is humanly possible; as for the future, leave it to fate!

Are you trying to suppress me? Let's see if I really will be crushed!

If I don't put up a fight, am I still a man? Haha...

On Saturday, after getting out of bed, Liu Zhizhong went shopping for some items.

As this trip to Linxi Town may leave him with little time to return to the city, some daily life necessities had to be procured. Anyway, his vehicle could accommodate everything.

Preparing for a long-term battle, Liu Zhizhong had no issues.

Meanwhile, on Saturday night, Liu Zhizhong also gathered with Yu Haiping and the company's key members for a dinner.

At this gathering, Liu Zhizhong informed everyone about his job transfer, shocking everyone to their core, feeling that Director Liu was being treated unfairly!

Yet Liu Zhizhong was full of confidence, bringing out evidence and stating that becoming the youngest town mayor in city history at Linxi Town, a remote barren place with Zhangjia Creek's river, was an opportunity to kickstart a fishing economy. Our company should open up new wild fishing battles there, consolidate its reputation, and continue to grow stronger. Besides establishing a wild fishing paradise, we could organize wilderness survival competitions, continuing to create glory!

An ingenious person like Liu Zhizhong is truly adept at painting scenarios and can execute them effectively, which certainly encouraged the company's entire workforce.

Therefore, everyone also plotted the company's upcoming directions, haha...

After all, a place like Linxi Town rarely sees many wild fishing enthusiasts; it's too far and the mountains too high with challenging roads. Particularly, fishing spots have very inconvenient transportation.

Although local fishing enthusiasts can ride motorcycles there, cars sometimes find it very challenging to reach the site.

That area is a virgin land for wild fishing, clearly worth developing, haha...

Seeking survival, development, and future amidst adversity, everybody was willing to follow Liu Zhizhong. After all, he was going to Linxi Town as the town mayor, a legitimate government leader capable of getting things done and having the power to decide many matters.

The next day, late morning, Liu Zhizhong began packing his luggage, with medium and small scattered items, along with the procured things, filling the entire trunk.

Even the back seat was folded by Liu Zhizhong to pack more items.

However, embarrassingly, just as Liu Zhizhong finished packing and was ready to report to the Dongjiang District Committee the following morning, visitors came to his home.

Liu Zhizhong never expected to see staff from the Provincial Disciplinary Committee, accompanied by members of the Tiandu Investigation Squad and several members from the City Disciplinary Committee.

A group of people directly knocked on his door, identified themselves, and then asked whether Liu Zhizhong's car was given to him by Wang Chenglong.

Liu Zhizhong was stunned as if struck by lightning. It's over, right? The Wang Family is done for?

Oh... it was a bad omen, indeed something happened.

He could only completely confess and admit.

Subsequently, they said there is now a disciplinary case, requiring the car to be sealed and taken back to the Provincial City. They asked Liu Zhizhong to clear out the related items in the car and cooperate with their investigation.

In such a situation, what else could he do?

He had to cooperate with the special investigation team; he could no longer use that super off-road vehicle.

Thus, Liu Zhizhong felt embarrassed as he had to move an entire car's worth of items downstairs onto the parking lot, attracting many curious onlookers from the neighborhood — truly awkward.

Liu Zhizhong maintained a decent mindset — quickly adapting to the situation, stopped forcing himself to move items, and did so naturally. And neither did he need help from the investigation team members, stating that those were his items, and they weren't familiar with them; it would be problematic if damaged.

The investigation team's personnel, from Tiandu to the provincial level, to the city's disciplinary members, seemed to agree with him, watching on without lending a hand, or waited in the car.

Once Liu Zhizhong finished moving everything, the investigation team drove off with the luxurious car, never to return.

Getting over the initial shock, Liu Zhizhong immediately called the company's finance department, asking them to go to Dongnan City's 4S auto shop and purchase another similar off-road vehicle on behalf of the company.

Although a customized version couldn't be found in Dongnan City, there was still cash-and-carry availability for the same-sized model.

Liu Zhizhong had gotten used to driving the Touareg, and since the entire car was imported, it was indeed quite good. Dongnan City's auto market also had availability, V6 engine models, offering sufficient power.

On hearing Mr. Liu's request, the finance department did not hesitate and hurried to the auto shop.

As a result, half an hour later, the finance department called Liu Zhizhong: "Mr. Liu, it's over. Our company's account is frozen. I called to find out why, and they said it's due to suspected bribery; it must cooperate in the investigation, and it can only be unlocked after resolving the issue. What to do now? I'm ready to make payment, and it can't proceed."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhizhong felt as if the sky had collapsed for a moment before laughing: "Alright, I understand. Just head back to the company for now, I'll handle payment at the auto shop using my own money!"

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll inform the auto shop here, you can come over yourself! But why the company? Shall we notify President Yu?"

President Yu, of course, being Yu Haiping.

Liu Zhizhong replied: "No need to notify him, I'll inform him. The company's operations are still proceeding as usual. If money is involved, you or President Yu can advance it privately."

"Alright, Mr. Liu, I understand."

After hanging up, Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath; inevitable events had arrived.

Failure collapses like a landslide, and all bad things erupt at once.

The 20% technical share given to Wang Chenglong by the company indeed caused issues, involved bribery, haha...

As for how the investigation and resolution will proceed, Liu Zhizhong believes: as long as there's adequate sincerity, the problem shouldn't be significant.

For now, he informed the community security guard to keep an eye on his things dumped there as he went to buy a new car to haul them back.

This is a high-end community, unlikely to encounter theft.

Having arranged everything, Liu Zhizhong directly went out, hailed a taxi, headed straight to the 4S auto shop, and paid 900,000 in total costs for the highest-configured imported Touareg, driving it back first...
