Chapter 324

On the 14th and 15th, the Meng Hu Ling township government did a lot of work, making the preparations very thorough. They waited for Lu Zhenghong's arrival with full confidence.

Lu Zhenghong arrived in Shangjun County on the afternoon of the 15th. That night, he stayed at the Shangjun County Party Committee guesthouse. Accompanying him were officials and staff from several provincial party committee organs, including some officials related to agriculture.

The leaders of the Yulin region, from District Party Secretary Jiang Xinquan and Administrative Office Director Han Anbang downwards, all rushed to Shangjun County to meet Lu Zhenghong at the county party committee guesthouse. To be honest, they were a bit surprised; they had planned to arrive in Shangjun County early on the morning of the 16th to welcome Lu Zhenghong, but didn't expect him to come early.

All the leaders of the Yulin region and Shangjun County waited in the lobby of the county party committee guesthouse, waiting for Lu Zhenghong's summons. Of course, not everyone could get a summons from a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.

Jiang Xinquan and Han Anbang, of course, were summoned. The other two leaders from the Yulin region who were summoned were District Party Deputy Secretary Shi Deyou and Organization Department Head Zou Liangui.

As for Shangjun County, the only ones who could get a summons from Lu Zhenghong were County Party Secretary Ji Tao and Deputy County Head Zhang Kaishan. By the time their summons ended, it was already past 11:00 PM. After Zhang Kaishan went downstairs, he said the leader was going to rest and wouldn't see anyone tonight.

This left everyone waiting below feeling very disappointed, and Shan Guozhi was, of course, no exception. He hadn't had the chance to have close contact with a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee in his life. He had originally thought that as the county head, the second-in-command of Shangjun County, he should have had a chance to be summoned. Who knew that even Zhang Kaishan was received, but he didn't have the chance.

When provincial leaders come to a place for an inspection, who they receive and who they don't have their own intentions, not done randomly. And how long they meet with whom is also not done randomly; it also has its own intentions.

Today, Lu Zhenghong only spent a dozen minutes meeting with Jiang Xinquan and Han Anbang, the top two leaders of the Yulin region. This should have been a ceremonial meeting.

Shi Deyou and Zou Liangui each got nearly half an hour. This move was thought-provoking.

Ji Tao got about an hour of meeting time, while the time Zhang Kaishan met with Lu Zhenghong was nearly an hour and a half. After Zhang Kaishan came out, he was beaming, clearly having had a very pleasant conversation.

Shan Guozhi already vaguely felt that Lu Zhenghong should be Zhang Kaishan's background in the province. This time Lu Zhenghong came to Shangjun County, I'm afraid it was to support Zhang Kaishan.

Thinking of this, Shan Guozhi's face looked very bad.

After Zhang Kaishan came out, the leaders of the Yulin region and the leaders of Shangjun County all checked into rooms at the county party committee guesthouse, because they had to accompany Lu Zhenghong to the countryside very early the next day. Therefore, even those whose homes were in Shangjun County had to stay here.

After everyone entered their rooms, Shan Guozhi left his room and came to the door of Han Anbang's room, knocking gently. A voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Shan Guozhi pushed the door and went in, then closed the door from the inside. He stayed inside for about half an hour before coming out. At this time, it was already past 12:00 AM. His face looked very bad.

This night was a sleepless night for many people.

The next morning, before 6:00 AM, Lu Zhenghong got up. He was a person who was always full of energy. Although he only slept for about six hours at night, after he got up, he went for a jog, then washed his face with cold water, and was immediately glowing with energy.

Since Lu Zhenghong got up so early, others, of course, couldn't sleep in. In fact, many people had staff wake them up around 5:00 AM. After washing up, they sat upright in the restaurant, waiting.

By the time the staff brought Lu Zhenghong into the restaurant, everyone was already sitting in the restaurant, sitting straight and not saying a word.

Lu Zhenghong smiled and said, "Why are you all sitting there? Eat as you arrive!"

Everyone laughed along, but many people's laughter sounded a bit dry.

Lu Zhenghong glanced around casually and saw that there were empty seats next to the table where Ji Tao and Zhang Kaishan were sitting. He walked over, sat down next to Ji Tao, picked up a bowl of corn grits from the dazzling array of breakfast items on the table, took a big sip, nodded to show satisfaction, and then took a steamed bun and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Lu Zhenghong started eating, and only then did the others start eating breakfast as if they had been pressed with a start switch. However, most of them ate quite gently, not even daring to make too much noise. In a restaurant with dozens of people sitting, it was surprisingly almost silent.

Only Zhang Kaishan ate relatively freely. He had eaten at Lu Zhenghong's house before and already had a certain immunity to such scenes.

Lu Zhenghong ate very quickly. In less than ten minutes, he had finished two bowls of corn grits, two steamed buns, one stuffed bun, and one boiled egg. After he finished eating, he pushed his bowl away, stood up, and said, "Hmm, not bad, I'm full."

Lu Zhenghong walked towards the door, and the others also threw down their chopsticks and pushed away their bowls as if they had been pressed with a stop switch, stood up together, and walked towards the door.

Lu Zhenghong stopped his steps, frowned, and said, "Those of you who haven't finished, keep eating!"

Everyone said together, "We're full." Lu Zhenghong couldn't say anything more. He went out, found his car, and sat in it. The others also scrambled to find their own cars and sat in them separately.

Lu Zhenghong poked his head out of the car window and said, "Comrade Kaishan, you sit in my car."
