"Brother Xuan, come on, stop laughing and just say it!"
Liu Zhizhong, with his earnest look, really had a touch of casual humor.
Qian Xuan even coughed twice before he finally stopped laughing and said, "Your real identity, those adoring fans might not know, but how could the General Propaganda Bureau be unaware? You're just a young man mixing in officialdom, wealthy yet unconnected. If you could establish ties with the General Propaganda Bureau, you'd have great prospects ahead, so why give it up? Hitching a ride with the General Propaganda Bureau means hopping onto a bigger vehicle and platform, you'll face broader horizons. With such a temptation, could you resist?"

Liu Zhizhong said, "Human nature makes it unacceptable for me, so I refuse."
"Good! Well said! Qian Xuan slapped the coffee table in genuine admiration, but then added, "Don't say it again next time!"
Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Luo Shuxiu also burst into laughter.
Qian Xuan, however, did not laugh, remaining quite serious as he continued, "Talking about human decency, better not get into officialdom. But looking at you, it seems you still want both!"
With a smile, Liu Zhizhong said, "Yes, I indeed want both, so that's why I've been waiting for Brother Xuan and my senior all day, right?"
Qian Xuan cursed loudly, his voice rising as his eyes bulged, staring at Liu Zhizhong, "What are you up to, Liu Zhizhong, what do you want to do, why are you dragging me into this?"
"Because my Brother Xuan is so awesome and powerful, scary strong, hehe..." Liu Zhizhong laughed, his expression a bit shameless.
Qian Xuan pointed at him, "Speak, keep going, keep talking!"
Liu Zhizhong was undaunted and really did continue, "I need a pretty authoritative medical report forged, and also a pretty authoritative fake surgery, that won't arouse suspicion and will allow me to exit the scene, making Mr. L vanish from this world. That's what I'm thinking..."
"Oh my God... you're really going for it, huh?" Qian Xuan, looking shocked, then tapped the table, "Don't stop, just keep talking..."
"Alright, Brother Xuan, I plan to ask for your help to handle Yalan International Hospital. Then, we'll do this..."
After his speech, Qian Xuan was silent.
Luo Shuxiu was silent too, because her husband was silent, so she followed suit. Clearly, though, she thought Liu Zhizhong's plan was brilliant, even using Feng Xiaoyue's husband's funeral.
Qian Xuan stroked his chin, looked out the window, lit a cigarette, took several deep sips of tea, and nodded at Liu Zhizhong.
"Indeed, Teacher Luo..."
Luo Shuxiu smiled at her husband, her gaze questioning: Honey, what's up?
Qian Xuan told her, "Wife, this junior of yours has a tricky mind! The scheme he's laid out is solid, impeccably so! Imagine if he used his cunning brain for conspiracies in officialdom, wouldn't he be unstoppable?"
Luo Shuxiu smiled, nodded, her silence agreeing with her husband, a compliment to her beloved man.
Liu Zhizhong, however, seriously said, "Brother Xuan, please stop praising me, okay? I had no choice but to resort to this, truly dragging you into this!"
"You're not just dragging me into this, you're pulling out my intestines too."
Qian Xuan, still shaking with humor, made Liu Zhizhong and Luo Shuxiu burst into laughter again.
Liu Zhizhong felt considerably more relaxed, knowing Brother Xuan could joke meant that he was sure to help.
Right then, Liu Zhizhong happily said, "Brother Xuan, so we agree? You'll collaborate?"
Qian Xuan nodded and sighed, "Ah... with a clever devil like you around, I think even the General Propaganda Bureau can't handle you! Alright, I'll help with this. But regarding using Lei Duo's funeral, well, even though it's a small ceremony, it indeed carries weight. When his body was flown back, other flights at the airport were diverted, and traffic was under strict control from the airport to the funeral home; on the morning of his funeral, all other services at the funeral home were halted, all scheduled cremations and rituals were postponed until the afternoon or later, turning away other deceased and their families, you get it?"
