Chapter 1984 - 1984: 1984

Yunxi Province, with major economic projects, that GDP has to soar!

Tang Zhi's brilliance is dazzling, and he couldn't be more satisfied with himself.

His political achievements are famous, making many people drool with envy.

In fact, within the political circle of the Eastern Pot, a rumor has quietly spread: Tang Zhi might be the future Great Eastern Monarch, the successor!

Indeed, with Tang Zhi's background and current political achievements, he seems very much like a successor.

Such news would naturally reach Mr. Gu Changsha's ears.

On this day, Mr. Gu Changsha was touring the world, and happened to visit a very important city.

After a day of activities, he was exhausted and weary.

The local officials, naturally concerned for this supreme leader, thoughtfully arranged for the Provincial People's Hospital's top therapist to give him a full-body massage to relieve his fatigue.

The therapist was only in her thirties, the ripe age, with an enchanting demeanor that was hard to control.

Not to mention, her massage techniques were truly unique, investing her whole self, with a distinct taste that Mr. Gu Changsha could barely endure.

This massage was certainly an in-room service at the top-tier hotel where Mr. Gu Changsha was staying.

In this luxurious presidential suite, Mr. Gu Changsha felt completely rejuvenated and filled with energy.

It was as if his body had become much younger, with an extraordinary power flowing through his veins, so...

This surge of energy needed to be unleashed for him to feel comfortable.

So...

So...

When the therapist left, Mr. Gu Changsha seemed like a new person, filled with spirit and positivity.

Life should be enjoyed, otherwise, it holds no meaning.

Mr. Gu Changsha donned a loose robe and went to the suite's study to sit down.

He called for his personal secretary to bring some fresh tea and treats, sitting solo by the window, gazing at the city night view.

Feeling like a king with the world at his feet, isn't that delightful?

After years of struggle and reaching the pinnacle, isn't this the feeling one craves?

The rotation of dynasties, passing down from generation to generation, is a great dream.

At this moment, Mr. Gu Changsha was even secretly calculating how long he could enjoy such days.

He already had plans in mind. The therapist just now was excellent, maybe move her to my travel health team!

His healthcare conditions are the top in the Great Eastern Pot.

He has two teams at home; two teams at the office; and two teams when traveling.

Why two teams?

Because one team works while the other rests off-duty!

Alternating, ensuring healthcare professionals are rested for better service to Mr. Gu Changsha!

At this point, Mr. Gu Changsha only needed to send a message to get the therapist transferred, it was so easy.

Therapists like her are meticulously selected and thoroughly vetted to enter the previous service status. Politically qualified, technically competent, with guaranteed quality.

Receiving a firm reply, Mr. Gu Changsha smiled contentedly, took a sip of tea, and couldn't have been happier.

The next morning, the city's biggest magnate came to have breakfast with Mr. Gu Changsha!

Having breakfast with him was certainly a local magnate's honor.

This magnate no longer belonged to the Northern Horse Racing Club or the Southern Moon Festival.

The sequence of local powerful people in the North and South had been shattered by Mr. Gu Changsha in recent years, hopeless.

This magnate belonged to the Tiandu Family lineage.

He's over fifty-five, after years of political struggles, rising from a small family to preside over a region as a duke, quite impressive.

Crucially, this guy is very good at flattering, pleasing Mr. Gu Changsha and the previous Great Eastern Monarch.

His name is Lu Hongzhong, overseeing an economically prosperous coastal province.

With a towering figure like Mr. Gu Changsha, his future is boundless.

Upon Lu Hongzhong's arrival, Mr. Gu Changsha praised him, primarily for the excellent massage arrangement the previous night.

Lu Hongzhong was understandably excited, after all, he had tried that female therapist, she was really captivating, hahaha...

He personally tested her service before recommending her to Mr. Gu Changsha!

Now, with Mr. Gu taking over, his excitement nearly cracked his smile, but he held it in.

After expressing loyalty, he offered an article composed by his secretary overnight to praise Mr. Gu Changsha, asking him to review it while having breakfast. It would be on the provincial TV news headline tonight and published in the biggest local newspaper's headline tomorrow.

Mr. Gu Changsha looked at it with a smile, highly satisfied, as Lu Hongzhong's article included grand names like great national core and era's steering leader, which were particularly pleasing.

Thus, without changing a word, it was directly used in the news and newspaper!

This was Mr. Gu Changsha's decision, which no one could alter.

Lu Hongzhong was overjoyed, and hurriedly praised him again. Especially mentioning Mr. Gu's conquest of Valle, achieving various collaborations, an astonishing feat, conquering the world, a true world leader, making Mr. Gu beam with pride and nod with a smile, laughing internally.

Who doesn't like to hear pleasant words?

Mr. Gu Changsha highly appreciated Lu Hongzhong, therefore assigned him numerous tasks. At breakfast's end, he spoke up: "Hongzhong, you're 55 this year, right?"

"Ah yes, yes, yes, going on 56! Thank you, Mr. Gu, for remembering my age."

"Hmm, 56 is great, in such an energetic phase! Work hard, still more than two years to make great achievements and further advance!"

"I will always remember your advice, keep striving and not give up, meeting your expectations!"

"Good, good…" Mr. Gu repeatedly nodded, but soon became serious: "You want to advance, but behind you, successors need cultivation!"

"I understand, I understand, rest assured! But..."

Lu Hongzhong said, still somewhat doubtful, leaving the sentence hanging.

"But what?" Mr. Gu immediately caught the meaning.

Lu Hongzhong glanced at the surrounding guards and staff, and Mr. Gu promptly gestured for them to leave.

Only then did Mr. Gu say: "Hmm, can speak now?"

"Ah, ah, ah, yes, yes, yes…"

At 55, Lu Hongzhong nodded like a puppy, and began to speak…
