Chapter 2185 - 2185

Liu Zhizhong quickly said, "Mrs. Landon, from the sound of your voice, has something upsetting happened? What about Mr. Landon?"

With this question, Mrs. Landon couldn't hold back and tearfully replied, "My husband has been diagnosed with late-stage prostate cancer. He's currently undergoing surgery, and may not have much time left."

Liu Zhizhong's heart sank, feeling deeply saddened. Of course, he knew that with this type of cancer, with strenuous treatment and considering the medical standards of the United States, one or two more years might still be possible.

Then, Liu Zhizhong naturally comforted Mrs. Landon well, and asked for the address of the hospital where the surgery was taking place.

After the call ended, Liu Zhizhong immediately postponed related work arrangements and directly instructed his private jet to prepare for takeoff, heading to the United States.

This time, he intended to visit Old Landen as a private citizen. A sincere, loyal person says they're leaving, then they leave, ha ha...

Two hours later, Liu Zhizhong's private jet took off, heading to the United States.

In transit, he was still able to handle some official duties. The communication network on his private jet was certainly very smooth, with no issues at all.

As the jet entered the airspace of the United States mainland, Liu Zhizhong received a call from Zao Shi Gaomiao, inviting him to arrange time to again visit Little Japan in the coming days.

Regarding this upcoming visit, Liu Zhizhong himself was quite looking forward to it. So, he agreed, stating that he had some personal matters to handle now, and after that, approximately three days later, he would fly to Little Japan.

Zao Shi Gaomiao was quite excited about Liu Zhizhong's straightforward acceptance and impending arrival, expressing a warm welcome. At the same time, he reiterated the promise of a huge surprise for Liu Zhizhong, once again teasing Liu Zhizhong with curiosity—what kind of surprise could it be?

Hey~~~ Let's wait and see!

When Liu Zhizhong landed, there were no military officers, ambassadors, or consuls from the Wale Republic in the United States there to meet him.

Why?

In some countries, this seems inconceivable, right?

In fact, in Wale's political context, it's reasonable.

Because the president came to the United States this time not for official business but for a private visit to old friends, it's unnecessary to dispatch officials to meet him, arrange itineraries, etc. That would be a waste of political and official resources, not advisable, heh heh...

What is meant by a clear distinction between public and private matters?

Liu Zhizhong achieved it!

Moreover, did you know, because this private visit to old friends would delay Liu Zhizhong's political duties, he also had to file for a three-day leave at the President's Mansion office, as it was part of his annual leave.

What's meant by rules for working hours? Liu Zhizhong achieved it!

When everyone follows the rules, the whole society is orderly.

The President has no special privileges; this would be the greatest political integrity of a country, right?

When even the President has no special privileges, the staff below wouldn't pursue these either, isn't that better?

If the boss conducts privileged acts all day long, wouldn't the subordinates also follow suit?

What's that saying?

If the top beam isn't straight, the lower beams will be crooked, ha ha ha...

Liu Zhizhong kept the top beam straight, so naturally the lower beams wouldn't be crooked.

Of course, internally in the Wale Republic, there is still corruption, but these instances are rare, and any are quickly eradicated, treated as serious crimes.

In the Wale Republic's constitution, and the People's Party's charter, regarding corruption, bribery, abuse of power, these are explicitly stated—they carry the death penalty; where there isn't the death penalty, it's a severe crime with heavy punishment!

Strict laws are the standards for officials and public workers, ringing warning bells constantly, effectively enforced. Isn't it satisfying to say so?

Living and working in such a nation, for ordinary people, it's hard not to feel happiness!

Using heavy laws in chaotic times is right; also using heavy laws in peaceful times is even more right!

You might find it hard to imagine, but after Liu Zhizhong got off the private jet, the crew immediately went to rest and prepare for the next nonstop flight to Little Japan.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhizhong's visiting team, already formed at home, would take off from Wale and land together with him in Little Japan, ha ha...

While the crew took a break, Liu Zhizhong had no one accompanying him; he left the airport directly and took a cab straight to the hospital where Old Landen was having surgery.

According to the process, Old Landen had surgery yesterday, and today should still be under observation in the hospital, Liu Zhizhong came at just the right time.

When taking a cab, Liu Zhizhong was no longer dressed as the President.

He looked like an ordinary young tourist, carrying a backpack, not styling his long hair formally, but letting it hang loose, giving a very clear and natural feeling.

Instead of hailing a taxi, Liu Zhizhong ordered a U-car, and after getting in, he felt a bit of joy.

Because this time, he happened to hail a U-car driven by someone who seemed to be a Huazhu.

This Huazhu's name in the app was Du Bo, the pinyin letters were like that.

After getting into the car, listening to the driver Du Bo greeting and confirming information, that accent was truly authentic Great East Pot English, ha ha...

So, Liu Zhizhong sat down and directly said in Chinese, "Brother, are you from Great East Pot?"

The driver listened, with surprise on his face, glanced at Liu Zhizhong, and immediately replied in Chinese fluently, "Hey, yes, yes, are you also from Great East Pot? Here for tourism?"

This standard Chinese voice, hmm, had a bit of a southern Great East Pot accent, but was fairly standard.

Liu Zhizhong smiled, responding in even more standard Chinese, "Ha ha, my father is from Great East Pot, Tianchuan Province. Now though, I'm a Wale citizen. I'm here to visit a friend having surgery and also do a bit of traveling."

"Oh, ha ha, that's how it is, not bad. Wale citizens have high status worldwide. Coming to the United States, you can just fly directly. Unlike us Great East Pot people, sigh, coming here is so hard. But once you come, things become easier, ha ha..."

Using one's native language to communicate really is quite smooth.

Liu Zhizhong sensed something, asked, "Brother, did you come here on your own?"

Du Bo smiled, nodded, without any awkwardness, "Yes, came on my own, been here for a year now."

"Coming by yourself, not easy, right? So many Great East Pot People paid a high price to come out."

"Sigh, who says it isn't so? I used to drive taxis back home, then switched to app-based cars, so damn difficult. Had no choice, thankfully found a route, ended up coming over. Though, taking this route, really was a bit hard. But as long as you're willing to spend money, the issues aren't too big."
