199: Comparing people will only lead to ruin, comparing goods will only lead to discarding them.

Hearing Zhang Linhua's reply, Lin Zifeng smiled and nodded, saying, "As the saying goes, a tiger father doesn't beget a dog son!

Zhenyue was still young before, and being a little headstrong and mischievous is nothing."

Hearing Lin Zifeng's words, Zhang Linhua couldn't help but think that his son was a year older than the County Magistrate standing before him!

The other man is already a dignified County Magistrate, while his own son is just an ordinary staff member at the Bureau of Animal Husbandry. The difference is like heaven and earth!

As the saying goes: comparing people kills, comparing goods throws them away!

When the other man spoke these words, commenting on his son in the tone of an elder, it didn't feel awkward at all; in fact, it sounded perfectly natural.

More than two years ago, his son had offended the County Magistrate. Although the County Magistrate was magnanimous enough not to pursue the matter, Zhang Linhua didn't dare show the slightest favoritism toward his son.

He was afraid of upsetting the person in front of him!

Now that the other party was asking about his son, could it be?

Thinking of this, Zhang Linhua was overjoyed and quickly said, "County Magistrate, the work at the Bureau of Animal Husbandry is a bit too relaxed. Zhenyue is so young; I want him to go to the grassroots level for training.

Young people shouldn't be too idle. What do you think?"

Lin Zifeng learned about Zhang Zhenyue's situation from Director Qiao of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry.

He heard that Zhang Zhenyue's work performance was good, and he had changed significantly compared to before he started working.

Zhang Linhua's proactive and earnest work attitude made him very satisfied. Knowing Zhang Linhua's intentions, he deliberately brought up Zhang Zhenyue.

Seeing Zhang Linhua's look of anticipation, Lin Zifeng smiled and said, "I also agree with County Magistrate Zhang's idea.

It is beneficial for young people's future careers to train more in difficult environments."

Although Lin Zifeng didn't give a direct answer, Zhang Linhua was ecstatic. The fact that he agreed with his idea meant that Lin Zifeng had approved his proposal.

He knew in his heart that Lin Zifeng certainly had channels to know about his son's work performance at the Bureau of Animal Husbandry.

Knowing that his son's work performance was good, and with the County Magistrate satisfied with his own work, this attitude was a veiled reward for himself.

If his son's performance at the Bureau of Animal Husbandry had been poor, no matter how good his own work performance was, the County Magistrate would not have agreed to his proposal.

He was well aware of Lin Zifeng's work principles.

Zhang Linhua then reported to Lin Zifeng on some other aspects of work before happily taking his leave.

The day quickly passed in work.

When Zhang Linhua returned home, his wife Han Ying had already prepared dinner, and Zhang Zhenyue had just returned from work. The mother and son were waiting for him to come back and eat.

Seeing Zhang Linhua walk in, Zhang Zhenyue sensibly stepped forward and took the briefcase from his hand.

Han Ying held a damp towel, handed it to him, and said, "Old Zhang, wipe your face, and then we'll eat!

Our son is hungry and has been waiting to eat with you."

Zhang Linhua wiped his hands and face, looked at Zhang Zhenyue with satisfaction, and then happily said, "Old Han, go get the good wine I stored away. I want to have a few drinks with my son."

"Is there some good news? Why are you so happy? You rarely drink at home.

You don't even let our son drink. Has the sun risen from the west today that you want to drink with our son?"

While speaking, Han Ying still went and fetched a bottle of Baijiu from the liquor cabinet.

While pouring the wine, Zhang Zhenyue smiled and said, "Mom, My father must have resolved the poisoning incident in Hetao Town, that's why he's so happy!

Since My father is happy, I benefit too.

Dad, I toast you."

The father and son clinked glasses and drank. Zhang Linhua put down his cup and chuckled, "Son, you guessed wrong.

The reason I'm so happy today isn't because of my work, but because of something concerning you."

The mother and son were stunned. Han Ying quickly asked, "Old Zhang, what good news is there about our son? Tell us quickly."

Although Zhang Zhenyue didn't speak, his face was full of expectation, waiting for Zhang Linhua to continue.

Zhang Linhua then slowly recounted the details of reporting his work to Lin Zifeng today, specifically selecting the parts concerning Zhang Zhenyue.

Finally, he said, "The County Magistrate's change in attitude towards Zhenyue is due to Zhenyue's changes over the past few years.

Zhenyue's excellent performance at the Bureau of Animal Husbandry, coupled with my own diligence and responsibility in work, is why the County Magistrate agreed to my proposal.

You must continue to work hard and maintain a low-key style of conduct. The annual personnel adjustment will take place next month.

At that time, Zhenyue will be able to go work at the grassroots level.

There's no future at the Bureau of Animal Husbandry; only by training at the grassroots level will there be more opportunities for advancement."

Hearing the news from Zhang Linhua, Zhang Zhenyue was overjoyed and excitedly asked, "Dad, is everything you said true?"

"How could I joke about something like this?"

Zhang Linhua glanced sideways at Zhang Zhenyue and said with some displeasure.

"Dad, I didn't mean that. I was just too excited, which is why I found it hard to believe."

Zhang Zhenyue quickly replied.

"I don't see anything wrong with it. Our son works in The County Seat, nine-to-five. It's nice for the family to be together.

If he goes to the countryside, coming home won't be convenient."

Han Ying muttered softly.

"Oh, you! What am I going to do with you? Our son is only twenty-eight. He's so young, and you don't want him to have any ambition? Do you want him to live like this forever?

When I was thirty, I was only a Section Member, and now I'm a Deputy County Mayor, aren't I?

Our son is already this old. If he stays by his parents' side every day, how can he achieve anything?"

Zhang Linhua said, frustrated by her lack of ambition for their son.

"Dad, Mom's thinking isn't entirely wrong.

Mom, My father is also right. I'm still young; I can't just stick to the routine."

Zhang Zhenyue quickly spoke up to persuade her.

Han Ying nodded and smiled, saying, "I didn't mean anything else. Of course, I'm happy if my son wants to improve and work hard."

Zhang Linhua spoke again, "I still have four or five years before I retire to the second line!

I have work experience, and I can help you avoid some detours.

I'll try my best. When the personnel adjustment happens, you should go work in Gangou Township!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Dad! I definitely won't let you or Mom down."

Zhang Zhenyue made his promise with determined eyes.

Zhang Linhua nodded in satisfaction and happily continued drinking his wine.

At this moment in The Capital, within a heavily guarded residential area, in a detached two-story house, Li Yanran and Li Dongliang were having dinner with their parents, and Li Yanran seemed somewhat melancholy and distracted.

Li Chenghe, who possessed a powerful aura, looked at his daughter and couldn't help but ask, "Yanran, what's wrong? Why do you look so preoccupied?"

"Dad, my sister is troubled because of the matter concerning her life-saver!

We've been looking for a week and haven't found a single trace of him."

Li Dongliang said.
