Some specific figures are in this report. Please take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong took the work report, flipped through it, and nodded: \"Mm, it looks like you’ve done a really good job. When I have time, I’d like to go to your place again to see what changes there are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui smiled and said, \"Don't worry, you’ll definitely see big changes when you go next time. But you can't go now; the road hasn't been repaired yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong asked, \"How long will it take for that road to be repaired?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, \"It will probably take another year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong said, \"That long? Then I can't wait. Since you can walk it, I can walk it too. I’m not that delicate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said, \"Then let’s do this: if you must go, go next spring. Only then will some of the work in the township start to show results. If you go now, those planned forest lands are still empty, and there’s nothing to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong pondered for a moment and said, \"Fine, then I’ll find an opportunity to go next spring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing that Lu Zhenghong was in a good mood, Zhang Kaishan said, \"Secretary-General, this time I also want to make a self-criticism to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong laughed and said, \"What self-criticism do you want to make to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan said, \"We didn't do our work well in the county, and yesterday Lu Xiaoya suffered grievances in our place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui quickly said, \"This isn't County Magistrate Zhang’s fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong smiled and said, \"Why blame you? Tell me about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui then told Lu Zhenghong the whole story from beginning to end, all the way to the point where Tao Yanbin and the others deliberately retaliated and stopped their car yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong’s expression became increasingly ugly. After Su Xinghui finished speaking, he asked, \"Xinghui, is everything you said true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui said sternly, \"Secretary-General, you can investigate as much as you want. If there is a single word I said that isn't the truth, you can hold me responsible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong nodded slowly. After several tests, he was already very reassured about Su Xinghui. Of course, he would also send people to investigate the actions of Dan Guozhi and his group in Shangjun County.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, Lu Zhenghong was not surprised at all by these phenomena in official circles. If every official in a county were clean and honest, that would be the strange thing. He didn't intend to replace all unqualified officials; no one could do that. However, if what Su Xinghui said was true, then Dan Guozhi and his group were too arrogant and domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If such officials were not cleaned up, Shangjun County would never have peace. Due to the agricultural industrialization pilot project in Shangjun County, Shangjun County was a very important county in his and Gu Shanmin’s future plans, and it must not be ruined by Dan Guozhi and his group like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He himself had worked in a county before. Hearing Su Xinghui’s words today, he could imagine how terrible Zhang Kaishan’s working environment in Shangjun County was and how difficult it was for them to carry out their work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This couldn't be blamed on Zhang Kaishan either. He was just a Deputy County Magistrate, and Dan Guozhi was his superior. What could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lu Zhenghong said to Zhang Kaishan, \"Comrade Kaishan, are you aware of what Xinghui said?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan nodded: \"I am aware of it all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong said sternly, \"Then why didn't you report these problems to your superiors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Kaishan said, \"A long time ago, I reported some abnormal phenomena in the county to the regional leaders, but after investigation, the regional leaders all said there was no evidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong nodded. He could hear the helplessness in Zhang Kaishan’s words, and he could also imagine that after Zhang Kaishan reported the problems, he probably suffered isolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Su Xinghui was clear about this. Later, Zhang Kaishan was transferred to the region to be the Deputy Director of the Environmental Protection Bureau because he had been retaliated against for this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong could understand Zhang Kaishan’s helplessness, and this was not something Zhang Kaishan could solve. Only Lu Zhenghong could help solve it, and Lu Zhenghong also had the responsibility to help him create a relatively relaxed working environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, even as the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, he couldn't directly intervene in the work of a county. He had to think carefully about how to handle this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lu Zhenghong said to Zhang Kaishan, \"Mm, I know about this matter. You handled it well. There’s no need to make a self-criticism to me. You have also done a good job in your work during this period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Kaishan and Su Xinghui arrived in Jiangcheng, Tao Yan also went to Dan Guozhi’s office to report his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tao Yan brought a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. As soon as he arrived in Dan Guozhi’s office, he opened Dan Guozhi’s cabinet door himself, stuffed the cigarettes inside, and said, \"County Magistrate, someone gave me two packs of cigarettes, so I’ll share one with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dan Guozhi was reading a document and didn't even lift his eyelids, just snorted through his nose to indicate he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tao Yan knew that Dan Guozhi was showing him that he was very angry, and he also knew why Dan Guozhi was angry. He didn't take offense at all and said with a smile, \"County Magistrate, I’m here to make a self-criticism to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only then did Dan Guozhi put down the document and lift his eyes: \"You, Bureau Chief Tao, are so powerful, do you still need to come and make a self-criticism to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tao Yan said, \"Look at what you’re saying. No matter how powerful I, Tao Yan, am, you are still my big brother. Everything I have was given by you, so I should still come and make a self-criticism!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Tao Yan was the County Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and the Public Security Bureau Chief, he had always considered himself a little brother in front of Dan Guozhi. Everything he had was indeed given by Dan Guozhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Dan Guozhi was still the Deputy Director of the Commune Revolutionary Committee, Tao Yan was just an ordinary temporary worker in the commune. At that time, he got to know Dan Guozhi, and from then on, he followed Dan Guozhi. Even his wife was introduced by Dan Guozhi’s wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Dan Guozhi rose step by step, Tao Yan was also promoted step by step, and he was loyal to Dan Guozhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tao Yan was not only Dan Guozhi’s little brother, but he was also Dan Guozhi’s dog. He only listened to Dan Guozhi. Whoever Dan Guozhi told him to bite, he would bite, without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Over the years, Tao Yan had done countless things for Dan Guozhi. Any dirty work that Dan Guozhi found inconvenient to do himself was done by Tao Yan. Dan Guozhi naturally trusted him greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Tao Yan’s words, Dan Guozhi’s expression cleared slightly: \"What do you have to make a self-criticism to me about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tao Yan said, \"It’s just that troublesome little brat of mine. Yesterday he did that thoughtless thing and caused trouble for you, County Magistrate. I beat him up properly last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1277,"2026-06-16T17:50:40.887Z","2026-06-17T08:56:06.694Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e097b702bcdb6fb70b60d12d46437df7b3b60e601eede81f22ac6e95a79998a6","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-96","the-romantic-path-to-success-chapter-94",572,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-romantic-path-to-success-cover.jpg"]
