Of course, with Liu Zhizhong's current status, this amount of money, plus a little more, there's plenty of choices.

But he truly got accustomed to the Touareg, and the shop just happened to have this top-spec model, though not as custom-made as the one Wang Chenglong gifted, but still, it's top-spec and operates quite smoothly.

The V6 engine has ample power. Plus, it has an air suspension chassis, which is handy for off-roading. The interior space is also sufficient.

Once he got the temporary plate, Liu Zhizhong drove it back, returning to his parking spot, everything was just as he left it, all packed into the car.

Looking at it, well, compared to the one Wang Chenglong gifted, the interior space doesn't seem lacking, perhaps even a bit more usable space.

After all, the one Wang Chenglong gifted has a lot installed inside, taking up a certain amount of space.

With this new ride, Liu Zhizhong wasn't in a rush; he could use the temporary plate, return to the city later to officially register.

This round of fuss took up the whole Sunday.

Liu Zhizhong didn't cook dinner for himself, instead, he went outside the community to have a bowl of noodles, just for peace of mind!

The upscale community he's at, the surrounding amenities are pretty high-class, so the noodle shop is clean, beautiful, tidy, the dining environment is quite excellent, and there are private rooms available.

Sitting in the private room, with a few side dishes and a big bowl of noodles, looking at the river view outside the window, it's quite an enjoyable experience.

Nowadays, even though the economy is sluggish, it really is a period of deflation. But people still spend, and some can afford high expenses.

Even though Dongnan City is a small prefecture-level city and slightly remote, it doesn't lack wealthy people!

Outside Liu Zhizhong's upscale community, there are still plenty of people who can afford to spend.

Having a bowl of noodles here, paired with a few side dishes and a chilled beer, costs him 168 yuan!

Of course, the ingredients and taste here are quite particular, what's offered is valued appropriately!

In this day and age, as long as you have the money, you can afford the consumption you desire.

A lot of things are tradable. As for those not tradable, maybe the price offered isn't high enough or your skills aren't up to par.

Things you're unaware of, those prohibited by law to eat or enjoy, haha, some can eat and enjoy them, hehe...

Liu Zhizhong ate noodles, watched the city's river scenery, recalled the past, feeling a bit sentimental.

Life's ups and downs, he's seen it all, becoming gradually more composed and calm.

Of course, at this moment, he remembered his teacher Zhang Qidong.

It's been a while, some things haven't been told to him.

The teacher went to Tiandu for further study, at the empire's top organization school, detached for half a year, upon return, must be promoted, right?

Zhang Qidong certainly doesn't want to return to Southeast, that place is truly restrictive, not easy to progress!

But his student Liu Zhizhong, constantly met setbacks, didn't report to him!

Tomorrow, a new journey begins, Liu Zhizhong still reported the past to his teacher one by one.

Zhang Qidong quickly called Liu Zhizhong over the phone.

The connection between teacher and student was indeed full of emotion.

"Zhizhong, time and fate indeed! You are truly farsighted, anticipated Mr. Xiong's possibility for trouble, and sure enough! Luckily you had foresight, otherwise, he really couldn't escape, get away from it."

Liu Zhizhong said, "Teacher, Mr. Xiong being safe could be considered a good thing, right? I had some premonition and alertness, and it just worked out."

"But you got implicated correspondingly, lost the qualification for study training, and were sent to the most remote township as town mayor, indeed too unfair to you. Here, if Zhang Family didn't exert force, it wouldn't be believable. Zhang Xiaoyang certainly harbored resentment towards you."

"Just as you said, time and fate, right? We, at present aren't quite lucky. Zhang Xiaoyang's oppression has been longstanding, and I can only endure temporarily for peace. Arriving at Linxi, I do have my plans, will achieve results. But, teacher, it's unfortunate to finally have a connection with Wang Family in Provincial City, turns out Wang Family seems...about to be cut off?"

"What?!" Zhang Qidong exclaimed over the phone, "You said what? Wang Family...will face trouble?"

"Ah?!"

Liu Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, "Teacher, haven't you heard?"

"What do I know? Explain further!"

After all, Mr. Wang, as an individual enjoying Pot Family-level retirement benefits, if he gets into trouble, it's major news a significant event!

More importantly, Zhang Qidong and Mr. Wang have ties. If implicated, it also might be possible!

Liu Zhizhong then recounted the day's happenings one by one.

Zhang Qidong listened silently, "This...well…it seems the car Wang Chenglong gifted you will be seized, and your company is involved too, with accounts frozen, it isn't a good thing! This matter, no one got wind of it! Zhizhong, hold on, I'll inquire with someone."

"Alright, teacher, don't worry!"

"I know, indeed..."

Actually, judging by the final tone, Zhang Qidong was already somewhat anxious.

There's no choice, Zhang Qidong is already considered a key figure in the Wang Family faction, during such times if Wang Family gets into trouble, it will implicate him.

Then, Liu Zhizhong finished his noodles, didn't get a response from the teacher.

He guessed, probably the teacher went to inquire, likely asking someone from the Tiandu Commission for Discipline Inspection, it may take some time, right?

So, Liu Zhizhong didn't mind, finished his noodles, settled the bill, left the shop, and headed to Binjiang Park by Dongjiang River, to smoke and stroll alone.

On a summer night at Binjiang Park, it's pleasantly breezy and supremely enjoyable.

People in the park, are in groups, back and forth like clouds. Bustling areas with food vendors, amusement spots, even square dancers, all present, a true lively mortal scene.

Liu Zhizhong could even see the popular attractions he redecorated when working at the Cultural and Tourism Bureau, all filled with people.

He felt gratified. But who would know, the hero behind crafting these popular spots was oppressed, about to leave the city, exiled to the countryside...

After circling around, unwinding, Liu Zhizhong prepared to leave Binjiang Park, head back to rest, with a new position starting tomorrow!

As he crossed Binjiang Avenue, a Cayenne stopped right in front of him.

Liu Zhizhong glanced, seeing the gorgeous young woman driver inside—the ex-girlfriend Gu Man.
