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

Zhao Zhongxin also received a message from Secretary Zhou of Lincheng City, saying that the design of the cemetery and small park there was complete and that Zhao Zhongxin was invited to the opening ceremony. Zhao Zhongxin, along with Qi Tongwei, Li Kangjian, and Zhao Donglai, also went to Lincheng!

Upon arriving at the old man's cenotaph, Zhao Zhongxin removed the Party emblem and the national emblem and gave them to Liu Kun. Then he knelt down, glanced at the people behind him, and said with a smile!

"You don't need to kneel, this is my grandfather!"

This is also why Zhao Zhongxin explained to the media that although many people know this is his grandfather, he still needed to clarify, because some people might not know that those present included not only officials but also ordinary citizens! He didn't want to be perceived as someone who kneels before the tomb of a powerful figure! That's why he explained! By removing his party and national emblems, he was indicating that he was kneeling in a private capacity, as a grandson, not as a provincial governor!

Qi Tongwei's knees were itchy, he didn't know why, but his knees would itch every time he saw a grave. However, after hearing Zhao Zhongxin's words and looking around, he saw that no one was kneeling, so he restrained his instincts!

But Lin Gu, who was behind him, was about to kneel down with the governor. Luckily, Sun Liancheng had been watching him and caught him, shaking his head slightly. He also liked this young man and didn't want him to be forced to grow too fast. First of all, it was hard to say whether Zhao Zhongxin liked being flattered like Zhao Lichun. If you kneel down today, even if Zhao Zhongxin likes this kind of flattery, and you get promoted temporarily, how could someone like Zhao Zhongxin stay in Handong forever? Do you not care about your reputation?

Even though you're a veteran revolutionary and a general, if you kneel down today, others will use that to attack you in the future! They definitely will.

Lin Gu also realized what was happening. His boss, Qi Tongwei, had been infamous throughout the province for kneeling at the Zhao family grave. If he were to kneel at the Zhao family grave today, he would be the next Mayor Qi. Everyone in Handong knew Mayor Qi's infamous reputation; it was utterly rotten. Qi Tongwei had his powerful older brother, Zhao Zhongxin, to clear his name, but Lin Gu didn't! He nodded to Sun Liancheng, his eyes showing gratitude.

After Zhao Zhongxin finished burning the paper money, Liu Kun stretched out his left arm and let Zhao Zhongxin help him stand up. This is his secretary. After all these years, he is so sensible!

Then Zhao Zhongxin put on the Party emblem and the national emblem, and led everyone to bow to the tombstones of each revolutionary martyr! After this was over, Zhao Zhongxin, Zhou Guichun, and the people from the Handa gang strolled in the park, while the cadres walked behind them, separated by Liu Kun. Zhao Zhongxin smiled and said to Zhou Guichun!

"Secretary Zhou, you handled this well. Your pants are a bit long!"

Upon hearing Zhao Zhongxin's words, Zhou Guichun's eyes lit up. What did the governor mean? "My pants are too long, I should pull them up a bit?" Zhou Guichun felt that his eight-year-old status as a department-level official was beginning to loosen. Was he about to be promoted to a ministerial level?

He was Li Dakang's man, but Li Dakang was a cold-hearted person. Even if he got promoted, he wouldn't bring his own people up with him. That's why Zhou Guichun found an opportunity to bet on Zhao Zhongxin!

However, Zhou Guichun looked down and realized that his pants were indeed a little long! "Governor, what does this mean?" Zhou Guichun was filled with anxiety.

"Mayor Qi of Jingzhou will be joining the provincial party committee in the second half of the year. When that happens, the position of mayor of Jingzhou will be vacant, and I will vote for you at the provincial party committee meeting."

When Zhao Zhongxin said this, none of the people present showed any expression. They were all members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee or soon-to-be members, and this was just a vice-ministerial level position! So what if Zhou Guichun got it?

After Zhao Zhongxin finished speaking, he took out a cigarette, and Li Kangjian immediately took out a lighter and lit it for him. Zhou Guichun looked at Zhao Zhongxin with a fanatical expression. The long-sealed position of a department-level official had finally been loosened. Zhao Zhongxin's agreement was equivalent to the Han University Gang's agreement. The Han University Gang had four provincial governors and standing committee members!

In addition, he has a past relationship with Li Dakang, so Li Dakang will definitely give him this favor! That would give him five votes, and since Sha Ruijin won't offend Zhao Zhongxin, he already has six votes, so it's basically a sure thing!

These Standing Committee members were all incredibly generous with their favors.

"Governor, thank you so much! I don't know what to say! Thank you so much! Distinguished leaders, this is…"

Zhou Guichun had worked diligently for many years, but his old boss, Li Dakang, didn't promote him. Instead, a stranger promoted him, simply because he was quick-witted and mentioned turning the revolutionary martyrs' cemetery into a park. No wonder so many people like to flatter and pull strings! This feeling is just too good.

Zhou Guichun was happy, and his partner, the mayor of Lincheng City, was also quite happy. He could also take a step forward and become a ministerial-level official. The two had been working together for seven or eight years, and he was happy for Zhou Guichun to be promoted, after all, they were old partners!

"Distinguished leaders, this is the shopping mall in the development zone. Today is the opening ceremony. Governor, please come and cut the ribbon!"

After walking around the park with a group of people, Zhou Guichun calmed down and began to introduce the shopping mall with a smile. He said that the mall was second only to Wanda Plaza in Luzhou in size, and could be said to be the largest shopping mall north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River in Handong! As the secretary, he had face to save!

"Sure, I haven't been to a shopping mall in ages!"

Zhao Zhongxin responded and walked towards the mall. It must be said that Zhou Guichun has some artistic talent, no, she should be said to have some taste. These green plants must have been professionally maintained. The key is that they are very well done. The most expensive piece of land in the square has a large monument, with his grandfather at the top and the old predecessors in the revolutionary cemetery behind him!

No wonder Zhou Guichun wanted Zhao Zhongxin to come to the mall. Zhao Zhongxin could only say, "He's a smart man!"

"Thank you so much, Secretary Zhou!"

Zhao Zhongxin praised him, saying that he definitely wanted others to respect his grandfather. To be honest, if he ever won the King of Glory title, he would make a TV series or movie for his grandfather, father, father-in-law, etc., every year, not for any other reason than to make people remember them!

Speaking of Zhao Zhongxin's father, Zhao Mengsheng, Zhao Zhongxin suddenly thought, "This world doesn't have a movie called 'Wreath Under the Mountain,' so why don't we make one?"

Given his father's status, he probably wouldn't agree. After all, he's not the boss of the gang. If you film it, what will the boss think? What are you trying to do?

However, Zhao Zhongxin felt it was okay. He could just change his name and then change it back after all the old men above him passed away and he retired.

Even though he always calls him "Old Deng," we still have to promote his father, right?

(This is the second chapter today. My godfathers, thank you for waiting. Please give me some encouragement to update. It really means a lot to me!)
