In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

New Year's Offerings: A Gathering of Red Plum Blossoms!

Yang Wanli's meticulously arranged nighttime garden activities were a sanctuary for talented men and beautiful women, and a place of heartbreak for the illiterate, imitating the ancient literary gatherings for appreciating flowers and composing poems.

They sit by the mountains and live by the water.

In the specially designed setting, all participating tourists have their own seats. The garden features red plum blossoms blooming proudly against the frost, graceful beauties dancing, a babbling brook, and snowflakes falling lightly outside the greenhouse.

All he had to do was stand up, face the other passengers, and use all his knowledge to write a poem or song that would amaze the world.

Both men and women are welcome!

Then you can gain envious glances from others, attract the attention of your crush, find a good relationship, or have your talents proven overnight.

Of course, it's more likely that he'll be met with boos from the entire audience.

Once you get there, it's impossible not to participate. Yang Wanli's ruthless staff will utter harsh or provocative words to hurt your self-esteem before you even realize it, forcing you to grit your teeth and go for it.

in other words.

Hehe, once you come here, self-respect doesn't belong to you anymore.

Whether you gain face or lose face, you have to choose one.

When the losers stormed off in a huff, gentle ladies and handsome gentlemen stepped forward to comfort their wounded hearts one-on-one.

It seems like, maybe, perhaps...

This face isn't something to be ashamed of, but look at that waist, wow, it has V-lines and eight-pack abs, right?

"This is an insult to scholarship!"

Tian Guofu offered his most honest assessment.

From the daytime garden tours to the poetry gatherings, the selling points of Luzhou are its ancient style, gardens, red plum blossoms, and snow. The core of it all is one thing: beauty!

"The way to appeal to both the refined and the common is to achieve the best."

Yang Wanli immediately retorted, "With this kind of attack power, who do you think you can break through?" He even asked rather provocatively, "Secretary Tian, ​​do you not like it?"

"certainly…"

Tian Guofu's words caught in his throat. If he dared to say no, Yang Wanli would slap countless accusations on him. He knew this all too well.

It can be admitted…

His reputation for "having a fondness for beautiful women" would instantly spread throughout the entire Handong system.

"Playing the innocent and taking shortcuts!"

Tian Guofu snorted coldly.

But his words were drowned out by the sudden burst of voices.

One by one, colorful boats sailed down the river, carrying men and women. The men, clad in ancient armor, practiced on the boats, like elite soldiers surrounding a region, or wandering poets stood at the bow, raising their cups to the bright moon and reciting poems to the river.

The women, like graceful maidens, either surrounded the bow of the boat, resembling noble ladies traveling south, or dressed in the robes of female officials, drinking tea, playing chess, chatting, and discussing matters.

"A nighttime boat trip is another main activity of the evening event."

Looking at the colorful boat, Yang Wanli explained proudly, "These aren't our workers or NPCs, they're all real tourists. We even conducted a special physical fitness selection process to take into account the strong winds at night."

"By the way, the boarding price is five hundred per person!"

"The specially made ancient-style clothing on the ship costs at least 1,000 yuan. See those armored soldiers? They are all handmade."

"The lowest price is 2800."

"The higher the rank, the fewer the quantity and the more expensive the price. The only general's uniform is worth 58,000."

"Tsk tsk!"

"People these days are really rich. The clothes we prepared weren't enough, so the boat had to make two trips."

Let alone Yang Wanli, the person involved.

The others listened with awe, realizing that 5 was equivalent to many people's annual salary.

But they quickly realized what was happening.

Those who come to Luzhou to join the fun during this time when the holiday hasn't started are basically people who aren't short of money.

It was by sheer chance that Yang Wanli stumbled upon it.

The five people slowly walked out of the cultural venue in the garden.

"Boss, the car is ready."

Old Zhang arrived quietly and reported to the leader.

But his eyes fell resentfully on Qi Tongwei. Damn it, he had been unemployed for a long time because of this shameless bastard.

If this continues...

He's really going to lose his job.

"Ahem!"

Qi Tongwei avoided Lao Zhang's gaze. Driving for Executive Director Lin was such a lucky thing. Lao Zhang, do you even know how to drive? Let me do it!

"Comrade Zhang Tu and the others must have had a hard time driving. I'll drive the way back."

Qi Tongwei spoke directly.

If even the Director of the Public Security Bureau is doing this, who can refuse?

"Old Zhang, you should stay with them."

Lin Zhiyuan decided, "I'll ride in the same car as Secretary Guofu and Secretary Wanli."

The light in Old Zhang's eyes dimmed instantly.

Boss, I'm no longer your favorite personal driver, right?

Lin Zhiyuan sighed, thinking, "I knew something was off about Handong, didn't I? Old Zhang used to be such a stern man, but now he's even playing the victim."

"Comrade Yuan Liang, I'm entrusting Lüzhou to you for the next couple of days. Do a good job!"

Yang Wanli was polite in words, but his hands made a grasping motion, his arm muscles bulging as if he were about to crush something. He whispered in the devil's ear, "If you mess this up, you're finished."

Yuan Liang could only chuckle.

I am truly fortunate to have been the mayor under Yang Wanli. If I had known, I should have stuck with the position of executive vice president.

The car started.

Two and a half hours later, we arrived at the family compound of the Provincial Party Committee in Handong.

"Still not resting?"

Lin Zhiyuan opened the door and saw the beautiful figure lying on the sofa. His eyes narrowed suddenly and fixed on a piece of silk fabric with letters on it.

not good!

"Oh my, Your Highness is back."

Yan Yan spoke sarcastically, and even stopped calling him "dear senior."

This is even worse!

There is a traitor.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Zhiyuan dropped his suitcase, stepped forward and picked her up in his arms, startling Yan Yan so much that she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I was exhausted after a month in Chuzhou. My junior helped me rub my back to relieve my fatigue."

Since I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, I might as well take matters into my own hands.

Every step he took up the stairs to the second floor was filled with the solitary courage of someone determined to face death.

As dawn broke, the snow that had been falling on and off for a week finally stopped this morning.

It seems they are preparing for a major battle in Handong.

But before the great war began.

Having regained his confidence and drive, eager to make great strides and sweep away his defeat, Germ Rat Injection faced his first warm-up match as soon as he arrived at the office.

"Comrade Xiao Ai, how is Liangping recovering?"

Sha Ruijin looked at the woman across the table and felt a chill run down his spine. He could tell from her expression that a storm was brewing.

"Secretary Cheng Sha is concerned!"

Zhong Xiaoai leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and placed her hands on her lap, exuding an innate arrogance and self-confidence.

"A week ago, Liangping was transferred from Chuzhou Hospital to Jingzhou and received further treatment, so he is now completely out of danger."

Zhong Xiaoai pursed her thin lips, "But as his wife, I have a few questions I'd like to ask Secretary Sha."

"After all, it was you who secretly sent Liangping to Chuzhou to investigate the case."
