Tang Zhiyong is a decisive person in his actions. Although he is now at the deputy department level, he didn't hesitate at all when he heard Liu Chenglong's decision to make him an apprentice. He nodded and said, "Okay, no problem. The boss is up, and I'll toast you. From now on, you'll be my boss." Tang Zhiyong then picked up his glass again and toasted Liu Chenglong.

Both sides drank in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, Tang Zhiyong looked at Liu Chenglong and said, "Boss, I see that your face seems to be in a bad mood. I don't know if there's anything I can tell you, young man."

With a sigh, Liu Chenglong said, "Oh, it's not just about the disaster relief in Guanshan Town." As he spoke, he briefly recounted the disaster situation in Guanshan Town and the unsuccessful request for assistance from Deputy Mayor Su Haodong at the municipal government.

After listening, Tang Zhiyong immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you're really amazing. A small town mayor dares to come directly to the city to ask for money." He paused for a moment before saying, "But I believe that with your heart of serving the country and the people, I believe heaven will definitely favor you."

Liu Chenglong gave a faint smile and said, "What's up to him, whether or not he is blessed by heaven, as long as I sit in the position of mayor for a day, I must do more practical things for the people in the town. Only in this way can I live up to my conscience. Let's have another toast."

That night, both Liu Chenglong and Tang Zhiyong drank a lot. However, due to his bad mood, although Liu Chenglong's alcohol tolerance was astonishing, he got drunk the fastest. In the end, he was helped back to the hotel by Tang Zhiyong and Han Xiangyi. What truly convinced Tang Zhiyong of Liu Chenglong was that even when he was drunk, Liu Chenglong continued to mutter, "Mayor, leaders, we have a flood in Guanshan Town. You can allocate some relief funds..."

That evening, when Tang Zhiyong returned home, it was already past 11 pm and he walked directly to his father's study.

In the study, Executive Vice Mayor Tang Jianguo is reviewing documents.

Tang Zhiyong walked up to his father and said in a low voice, "Dad, I'm going to work in Guanshan Town."

After listening, Tang Jianguo couldn't help but frown and say, "Work in Guanshan Town? What are you doing? Do you want to become a deputy town mayor? No, although your level is enough, your qualifications are still too shallow and your abilities are not enough."

Tang Zhiyong shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to become a driver."

Tang Jianguo suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Tang Zhiyong incredulously, saying, "What? Are you going to be a driver? Did I hear you right?"

Tang Zhiyong nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, what I'm saying is true. Dad, I know that I haven't listened to you much these years. I've been eating, drinking, and having fun everywhere, which has made you worry. If I continue to play, I'm afraid I'll be useless as well. Today, I met my boss, and now he has taken me as a trainee. So I want to go to Guanshan Town to become his driver and start my life again."

"What? Boss? Intern? Driver? What the hell is going on?" Tang Jianguo was completely shocked. He never imagined that these words were actually from his own perspective, making him c ā The son who broke his heart but has been neglecting his duties said it out of his mouth.

Tang Zhiyong gave a detailed account of today's conflict with Dong Tianba, as well as the situation where Liu Chenglong and Han Xiangyi helped him resolve the crisis, and the three of them drank and chatted together. He then said, "Dad, I don't really like the kind of life we used to have. It's just because as a second-generation official and your son, there are so many people who dare to flatter and flatter me, making me feel proud and lose my life goals. However, in this conflict with Dong Tianba, I saw my own cowardice and powerlessness. As your son, although I can do many things that others cannot, once I encounter something even more awesome than me." I am nothing in the yamen. Now I understand that the kind of people in the yamen who are jealous of each other and compete in the wind and moon field is really boring. My boss, who is even younger than me, has already become the mayor and worries about the people and the world. Although he may have suffered and tired a bit, he is full of fighting spirit. Therefore, I want to follow in his footsteps and start my life again. I also want to do something practical for the people like you

After listening to his son's words, Tang Jianguo fell completely silent. He never expected that Liu Chenglong, whom he had only known for a few hours, would cause such a big change in his son. He was now curious about Liu Chenglong, the mayor of the town, and as the executive vice mayor, he knew very well what it meant to be a 22-year-old mayor. At least, it meant that Liu Chenglong was definitely a person with extraordinary abilities. Although Tang Jianguo felt very unhappy in his heart that his son, a deputy department level cadre, was going to work as a driver for Liu Chenglong, he was still willing to see his son change his previous style of eating, drinking, and playing in the government office. After a moment of contemplation, he said in a low voice, "Did you just say that Liu Chenglong came to the city to seek help for Guanshan Town?"

Tang Zhiyong nodded and said, "Yes, Dad, my boss said that almost the entire town of Guanshan has been flooded, many houses have been washed away, crops have hardly been harvested, and the people have suffered heavy losses. We must quickly provide disaster relief now."

After hearing this, Tang Jianguo couldn't help but frown and mutter to himself, "How could this be? Jinglin County did not report the situation in Guanshan Town, only that it rained heavily in Jinglin County and some areas were severely affected. He applied for financial support for disaster relief..."

After pondering for a while, Tang Jianguo looked at Tang Zhiyong and said, "Alright, I understand this matter. As for the matter of becoming a driver in Guanshan Town, you can handle it yourself. I won't interfere."

The next morning, Liu Chenglong got up and had not yet arrived at the entrance of the municipal government by car when his phone rang, calling from an unfamiliar number.

After Liu Chenglong connected, he heard a very calm voice coming over: "It's Comrade Liu Chenglong from Guanshan Town, right? I'm Ding Zhaoquan, the secretary of Mayor Tang of the municipal government. Mayor Tang asked me to inform you to come to Mayor Tang's office around 9 o'clock this morning to report on work." After speaking, he hung up conveniently.

Liu Chenglong was stunned at the time. At this moment, Hong Sanjin's body trembled as he drove the car. He could hear the sound coming from Liu Chenglong's phone just now, but he never expected that the Executive Vice Mayor would call out to see Liu Chenglong. What is the situation? Is there Mayor Tang as a backer in Liuchenglong City? If that's the case, then Liu Chenglong's strong performance in Guanshan Town is understandable. It seems that I will have to closely follow Liu Chenglong in the future. At this moment, Hong Sanjin's determination to follow Liu Chenglong has become stronger. In fact, at first he followed Liu Chenglong just because he was worried that Liu Chenglong would take him down. Later, he saw that Liu Chenglong was very strong when facing Shi Zhenqiang, so he definitely followed Liu Chenglong to try. If Liu Chenglong couldn't play with Shi Zhenqiang, then he would continue to join Shi Zhenqiang and say that he was undercover at Liu Chenglong's side. His little abacus is playing with a clattering sound.

Liu Chenglong was also somewhat stunned at the moment. He didn't expect the secretary of the executive vice mayor to personally call him, which made him both excited and puzzled. Because according to common sense, with his own level and qualifications, not to mention being an executive deputy mayor, even the executive deputy county mayor of Jinglin County may not know him. At this moment, Liu Chenglong suddenly remembered the executive deputy mayor's surname Tang, and he secretly said, "Is there any connection between this executive deputy mayor and the apprentice Tang Zhiyong he received last night? How else would he know he was in Cangshan City and even let himself report to his office at 9 o'clock?"

Thinking of this, he increasingly recognized the idea.

At 8:55, Liu Chenglong appeared on time in the office of the Secretary of the Executive Vice Mayor Tang Jianguo. After chatting with Liu Chenglong, Tang Jianguo's secretary Ding Zhaoquan smiled and said, "Mayor Tang is waiting for you inside. Come with me." Ding Zhaoquan walked directly into Tang Jianguo's office with Liu Chenglong.

Seeing Liu Chenglong and his companions walking in, Ding Zhaoquan said, "Mayor, Comrade Liu Chenglong has arrived."

Tang Jianguo looked up and smiled at Liu Chenglong, saying, "Comrade Liu Chenglong, you can have a meeting on the sofa first. After I approve these documents, I will have a good chat with you."

Liu Chenglong sat on the sofa with his legs together and his waist straight, quietly waiting. Ding Zhaoquan poured a cup of tea for Liu Chenglong and then went out.

The room suddenly fell silent, with only the rustling sound of Tang Jianguo reviewing documents echoing in the office.

Although Tang Jianguo was reviewing the documents, his eyes occasionally glanced at Liu Chenglong's body. He noticed that Liu Chenglong was very upright in both sitting posture and mentality. Ten minutes later, Tang Jianguo found that Liu Chenglong remained motionless throughout the entire process, which gave him a slight liking for Liu Chenglong. Just from the perspective of sitting posture and mentality, Liu Chenglong has been better than many bureaucratic cronies.

After reviewing the documents, Tang Jianguo walked out from behind his chair and stood opposite Liu Chenglong. He smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, I heard from Tang Zhiyong last night that there was a flood in your Guanshan town, but the relief funds in all aspects were not in place. What is going on?"

Upon hearing Tang Jianguo's words, Liu Chenglong was completely certain that Tang Jianguo was his cheap younger brother Tang Zhiyong's son. However, even so, Liu Chenglong had no intention of recklessness. He carefully recounted to Tang Jianguo the disaster that occurred in Guanshan Town and his application for disaster relief funds in the county. The county mayor said that he had no financial resources, and said, "Mayor Tang, all the information I mentioned is true and reliable. As for why the city still doesn't know about it, I am not sure. Our town has already reported the situation of the disaster to the county in detail." With this, Liu Chenglong prepared himself. The relevant documents were handed over to Tang Jianguo.

Although Liu Chenglong didn't say much, his meaning clearly told Tang Jianguo. That's because the problem must be in the county, it must be that the county has not reported it to the city. As for why, Liu Chenglong did not say. He believes that the city leaders must have their own judgment.
