Seeing everyone staring at him with disgust, Zhang Zhigang didn't know how to defend himself. After all, he had been the one to look down on that man first.
He never in his wildest dreams imagined he would provoke such a calamity. He tried to plead his case, "County Magistrate Li…"
"Get out of my sight and write a transfer request. Otherwise, pack your things and go home to plant sweet potatoes right now."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhigang was struck with terror and hastily fled from sight.
'What rotten luck,' he thought. 'To think I'd run into a guy like that. If only I'd known he had such powerful connections.'
'I wouldn't have ended up in this sorry state. It's all that man's fault for going on about 'rural development' or whatever.'
'It tricked me into thinking he just wanted to mess around with some farming project in a village. If he'd said he was investing in a factory from the start, would I have given him the cold shoulder?'
