Li Tanglu was truly in pain, very depressed.
Chen Yuanyuan, what a mess, constantly getting into trouble!
Originally, he had asked him to be one of his personal attendants, to stay by his side for care and support—more so for him to learn something, like how to be a person.
But this guy, good grief, was a never-ending source of problems to clean up after.
Li Tanglu had just finished listening to Luo Tianlin saying that Chen Yuanyuan had offended a daughter from a powerful family from the Southern region, and his heart was already in turmoil.
And then Zhang Zhengchang came right away to lodge a complaint.
On the surface, it seemed Zhang Zhengchang truly had Chen Yuanyuan's best interests at heart, but in reality, he was also trying to cozy up and negotiate some political capital for the Zhang Family.
Having stepped down from such a position in the province, how could Li Tanglu not understand the thoughts of Zhang Dingkang's son, Zhang Zhengchang?
After all, Zhang Dingkang's death was a significant loss of political capital for the Zhang Family. It was normal for Zhang Zhengchang to have such thoughts, after all, he too had retired and wanted to create something for the next generation; this was understandable.
Li Tanglu remembered that when Zhang Dingkang died, he had even sent his son to express condolences.
Now, with Chen Yuanyuan causing such a scandal, and Zhang Zhengchang defending him to such extremes, he was really off in his timing and the situation was all wrong!
Li Tanglu looked at Zhang Zhengchang's miserably beaten cheeks, he couldn't bear it, but he had to speak up.
He was somewhat stern, saying, "Old Zhang, can you please not say anything more? I understand your intention to defend Yuanyuan, but you've offended someone you shouldn't have, do you understand?"
"Huh?" Zhang Zhengchang was instantly dumbfounded, "That nurse, she..."
"What nurse? What nurse?" Li Tanglu was getting a bit anxious, "You think she's really just some nurse from the hospital, that you can do whatever you want as long as you pay? Someone of her background, even I, Li Tanglu, can't afford to offend!"
"Huh? What? This... I..." Zhang Zhengchang was completely shaken, feeling that Li Tanglu wasn't lying, which made his heart panic.
Unconsciously, Zhang Zhengchang's heart began to race, his heart struggling to cope, his forehead breaking out in sweat, and the swollen cheeks throbbing painfully, extremely uncomfortable.
What did it matter if he was the former Mayor?
At a time , wasn't he still in a complete panic? This update ıs available on 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
He was nearly on the brink of a heart attack!
Zhang Zhengchang was at a loss, looking at Li Tanglu, then at Luo Tianlin.
"Secretary Li... Uncle Li! Minister Luo, brother Tian Lin! What... what should I do now? And Young Master Chen... what about Young Master Chen?"
Zhang Zhengchang could only cling to past affections, his face filled with pain, tears nearly spilling out, and after speaking, he even wiped the corners of his eyes, looking miserably pitiful.
Li Tanglu also couldn't bear it anymore, saying, "Don't worry about Young Master Chen for now, he's nothing but trouble. I'm really about to be driven mad by him."
Saying this, he looked towards Luo Tianlin, saying, "Tian Lin, according to the way things are done in their powerful circles, after an incident , they'll definitely send a mediator to negotiate and make demands, won't they?"
Luo Tianlin nodded, giving a helpless wry smile, "Yeah, there should be someone."
Zhang Zhengchang was stunned, "Uncle Li, brother Tian Lin, what are you guys talking about? What is this powerful circle?"
Li Tanglu said, "You don't need to worry about these things. The real powerful people in the world aren't us officials, though it's not always the case. It depends on the level of office one holds, anyway... haha, I'm certainly not one of them. Tian Lin's daughter is now the daughter-in-law of a powerful family."
Zhang Zhengchang's mind raced, "Oh my God, brother Tian Lin, congratulations! Brother, think of something, save me, save Young Master Chen!"
