In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Sha Ruijin didn't say anything this time either. He could tell that Zhao Zhong just wanted to mock Zhong Jianjun and Tian Guofu. It wasn't a joke. He first labeled them and then made them take sides. The tactics were still the same old ones. He was just echoing the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary in mocking him!

Sha Ruijin also thought it was right. Zhong Jianjun gave you a chance, but you were useless! With such a good family background, you could have slowly built up your seniority, used your family connections, and reached level three at the very least. It's a pity you're useless. Why are you so concerned about money? What are you going to do with the Shanshui Manor?

Sha Ruijin even thought that if he and Zhao Zhongxin were no longer in Handong, and Zhong Jianjun became the Party Secretary or Governor, he could reopen the Luzhou Food City!

Zhong Jianjun's family was the kind of family Sha Ruijin could only dream of. Although their fathers were both martyrs, their grandfathers were different. Sha Ruijin didn't even know his grandfather's name, since he was adopted. If he had such a family, he might have been able to enter the 24 Heavens of the Second Level, just like his old leader Zhong Zhengguo! Unfortunately, their fates were different. Why should Sha Ruijin's generation be able to catch up with the future that Zhong Jianjun's grandfather and father had fought for for two generations?

So Sha Ruijin just watched Zhao Zhongxin fire at Zhong Jianjun as if it were a joke, not caring about anything else. If it were Zhong Zhengguo's son, Zhong Jianshe, he would have smoothed things over. But now, you have to bear the consequences yourself!

"I think so too, Secretary Tian. You're the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, have you investigated the truth of the matter? You must get justice for Secretary Zhong's son!"

The one who spoke was Li Dakang, the Party Secretary of Lüzhou City and the son of Governor Liu. He also smiled and said, "..."

"Yes, why don't we investigate further?"

Li Dakang was also annoyed by Zhong Jianjun. He was acting like an idiot, acting all high and mighty with me. Li Dakang knew he was Zhong Zhengguo's nephew, but so what? Zhong Zhengguo had sons, and he also felt that Zhong Jianjun wouldn't last long and might be used as a training dummy by someone! That's why he spoke up!

Are these people trying to exonerate Zhong Jianjun's son, Zhong Zijun? Sorry, but their idea is to bring Zhong Zijun out for a retrial and sentence him to a longer term!

Zhao Donglai, Dean Lin, and Zhou Da are all normal people. At most, they can give Zhong Zijun the maximum sentence. If this case is retried, these three people might give Zhong Zijun more than ten years in prison!

"Governor, there's no need to say anything more about my son's case. He's been sentenced to whatever length of time he's sentenced to. We can't abuse our power."

Zhong Jianjun does have some brains, though not many, but enough for today. He's starting to doubt his wife Liu Meien's intelligence. Why did you take her to a writing competition? "Give me back my father, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary"—can you just write that like that?

"Yes, Secretary Zhong is an upright man. However, I also brought his son's top-scoring essay, which I haven't read yet. I'll have my secretary read it aloud to everyone! Ah Kun, come in!"

Zhao Zhongxin shouted at the door. When Zhao Kun heard this, his memories came back, and he thought he was being ordered to beat someone up again. So he kicked open the door of the Provincial Party Committee!

"Boss, who are you hitting?"

This really scared Sha Ruijin half to death. What are you doing? Is your secretary, Zhao Zhongxin's secretary, some kind of gangster? Rushing in and asking who you want to beat up! Do you want to bring your old tradition of free fighting from the municipal party committee to our provincial party committee again?

"What do you mean, 'hit who'? Why did you kick the door? Look how scared you've made all the leaders! We're civilized people! Read this perfect essay by Secretary Zhong's son to the leaders so we can learn from it!"

Zhao Zhongxin was speechless. Was Liu Kun trying to solidify his identity as Brother Zhao from No. 77 Zhonghua Road?

"Oh, I'm so sorry, esteemed leaders! I'm not good with words!"

Liu Kun laughed and said, leaving the provincial committee members speechless. They all knew what Zhao Zhongxin had done when he was in the municipal party committee. Back then, when you were only a deputy section chief, you dared to step on the head of a full department-level official. Now that you are a full division chief, stepping on the head of a deputy minister is just a piece of cake for you.

And Zhao Zhongxin, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by scaring us like cowards? Were we scared? No, we weren't scared. Well, although we were a little scared, we knew that your punches, Zhao Zhongxin, only hit upwards, not downwards! They weren't panicking!

It's fortunate that they didn't dare to label Zhao Zhongxin, otherwise they would have said the same thing as Li Kangjian!

"Zhao Zhongxin, you're only punching upwards. Do you have some kind of problem with those above you?"

Liu Kun couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the essay, which was less than a hundred words long. Although he had read it several times and it was an essay he had asked someone to find for him, he still couldn't help but laugh every time he read it.

"Hehe, cough cough, um, my surname is Zhong, and the provincial discipline inspection commission secretary also has the surname Zhong. Why? Because he's my father! Haha, cough cough, um, my father..."

Liu Kun, a professionally trained person, still couldn't help but laugh. In an essay of less than a hundred words, the name Zhong Jianjun appeared more than ten times, accounting for half of the essay's length!

The provincial committee members also wanted to laugh, but they all held back, after all, they all had to save face.

Only Zhao Zhongxin, the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the secretary of the Lu Municipal Party Committee were laughing heartily! Liu Kun, who was already unable to hold back, was provoked by the three of them and couldn't hold back at all. All four of them were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight!

Liu Kun took five minutes to read his essay, which was less than a hundred words long, in fits and starts!

Zhong Jianjun's face was already frighteningly dark. If he weren't no match for Zhao Zhongxin, he would have engaged Zhao Zhongxin in a free-fighting match right now!

"I don't know what the governor means by saying this? My son, yes, he won this essay award, but he doesn't deserve it. It wasn't because of his writing ability, but because of me! But I'm saying this very formally here! I didn't know about this. I didn't know he mentioned my position in his essay. Of course, I'm also making an apology to everyone at this democratic life meeting! I haven't been strict with my family and haven't taught my son well, but he's still just a child, and he's already received the punishment he deserves! I won't say anything more to him!"

Zhong Jianjun knew he had already lost face, but he still had to try to salvage the situation. To be honest, he wasn't lying. His son won first place in the essay competition, and he assumed it was because his wife had pulled some strings. But he never expected that Zhong Zijun would so brazenly write down his father's position on the list. Was he afraid others wouldn't know?
