Zhang Zhenglong sent a voice message, sounding very excited.
"Ha ha... Liu Zhizhong, you lad, not bad at all! Getting hold of such local products, and still thinking of your Uncle Zhenglong! However, I'm in Eastern Guang, where do I have the time to eat these? No need to send them over, entertain your guests well! But looking at you, lad, are you trying to make peace with our Zhang family?"
Liu Zhizhong felt quite gratified. The Zhang family also had its enlightened folks, and Zhang Zhenglong was one, right?
And Zhang Yuxing? Not just an enlightened person, my lady of open legs, hehe...
At that moment, thinking of Zhang Yuxing, he felt like he was conversing with his wild second uncle, ha ha!
Although he hadn't managed to settle Mrs. Lu for Zhang Zhenglong, Zhang Zhenglong had still been quite polite to him, Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong said, "Ah, Uncle Zhenglong, there's nothing I can do! Not everyone in the Zhang family is as open and clear as you, so I had no choice but to resort to this. On this matter, Uncle Zhenglong, you have never made things difficult for me, never said a word, I'm really grateful."
"Ah..." Zhang Zhenglong sighed in the voice message and paused before continuing, "It's good that you can feel that. Honestly, the matter with my father can't really be blamed on you. As for me, my ambition isn't in officialdom or Yangzhou, that's why I moved to the Southern region. Men should think bigger. You too, if you are indeed hosting a dinner tonight, think bigger."
Liu Zhizhong was somewhat moved by those words; they were sincere and heartfelt...
"Uncle Zhenglong, thank you, I understand, I understand. Maybe, with Mrs. Lu there tonight, reconciliation might be possible. It's just... hehe, sorry Uncle Zhenglong, I really can't help with the matter between you and Mrs. Lu."
Zhang Zhenglong laughed heartily, "Ha ha... let's not talk about these anymore. A man's vision should be broadened! To give up one woman, I might win the world!"
"But I also understand men. Are you still somewhat unwilling at heart?"
"Enough you rascal! Don't mention the sore point! Your mother-in-law is your mother-in-law, my dream lover, but since we can't be together, I've stopped thinking about it. Isn't that good?"
"Hey, I do understand Uncle Zhenglong's thoughts. I really hope you two could make it happen someday!"
"Get lost, don't bring up this nonsense..."
The chat with Zhang Zhenglong ended, and Liu Zhizhong was pretty happy.
He could feel that Zhang Zhenglong's attitude towards him was quite good; he was a friend, not a foe.
With time, could their relationship become even stronger?
Of course, Zhang Zhenglong couldn't forget Mrs. Lu, but he had come to terms with it and had his own life now, which was quite good.
Especially talking about Zhang Zhenglong venturing to the south, Liu Zhizhong thought it was a hope and strategy for the Zhang family? Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘷𝗲𝗹•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Zhang Zhenglong said no, it was his personal choice. Inside the Zhang family, they felt that staying in Yangzhou was good enough, no need for expansion, at most they could just send talents to the Provincial City's officialdom.
Zhang Zhenglong's view was indeed different. This southward journey was also a bold move on his own!
Of course, Zhang Zhenglong was completely unaware, that at this moment, in Liu Zhizhong's game, he was an important chess piece!
After the call, Liu Zhizhong smoked a cigarette at his fishing spot, feeling splendid!
The plan was perfect, every aspect interlocked, none could escape.
Then, he went back to the camper to prepare dinner.
When he got there, Mrs. Lu was already awake.
Only, at that moment, Mrs. Lu, seeing Liu Zhizhong return, had a face flushed red, looking very awkward!
Liu Zhizhong was puzzled. Just as he was about to call out to her and ask what was wrong, Mrs. Lu elegantly lifted a finger to her red lips and made a "shushing" sound...
