Liu Zhizhong appeared on the second floor living room with a smile on his face.
"Secretary Li, Minister Luo, Secretary Zhang, are you all here?"
Upon seeing Liu Zhizhong, an innate aversion surged in Zhang Zhengchang, and with a dark expression, he said, "Liu Zhizhong, what are you doing here at this time?"
He had completely forgotten about the time Liu Zhizhong had visited him and brought him nourishing ingredients, and how he had behaved towards Liu Zhizhong!
Liu Zhizhong deliberately glanced at Zhang Zhengchang's face, and the old fellow then realized something. He quickly covered his face and turned away.
Sigh, in front of a younger generation, to have his face slapped so! It's embarrassing enough to disgrace our ancestors! If this guy goes back to Yangzhou and talks, where can I, Zhang Zhengchang, put my face?
Without waiting for Liu Zhizhong to speak, Li Tanglu and Luo Tianlin, whose expressions had been tense, relaxed a bit.
Luo Tianlin spoke first, "Brother Chang, you go back first. We'll talk later."
Then, he immediately smiled at Liu Zhizhong, "Xiao Liu, what brings you here?"
On the other hand, Zhang Zhengchang quickly stood up, turned his head away, seemingly not wanting to face Liu Zhizhong at all. Luo Tianlin was still nice to him; he didn't want him to lose too much face here and made sure to save his dignity.
Li Tanglu didn't want a young person like Liu Zhizhong to know about Chen Yuanyuan's matter. He also stood up and said, "Xiao Liu, you talk with Minister Luo. I'm a little tired and will go back to my room to rest!"
Liu Zhizhong said with a look of frustration, "Secretary Li, Secretary Zhang, if you two leave, then my trip here will have been in vain! Why not please take a seat?"
Zhang Zhengchang looked even more frustrated. He sidestepped, avoiding Liu Zhizhong's gaze, but asked somewhat accusingly, "What... what do you mean? Are you trying to detain us? Liu Zhizhong, you should be humble and cautious, aware of your own position, okay young man?"
Li Tanglu also frowned but said nothing, just giving Liu Zhizhong a look; he felt very uncomfortable inside. He had just started to think highly of this young man a few days ago, and now he's not behaving properly. I want to leave, and you're trying to detain me?
Luo Tianlin was also completely baffled, not understanding. By all accounts, this wasn't Xiao Liu's style!
But Liu Zhizhong continued to speak with a friendly smile, "The two senior leaders have misunderstood, I truly didn't mean to detain you both. It's just that, right now, I am reluctantly representing the interested party, Ningnan Province's Xiang family clan's Second Miss Xiang Wenxin. I've come to discuss with the involved party, Secretary Zhang, as well as Young Master Chen's uncle, about how to handle the aftermath. If you two leave, who shall I discuss this with?"
Li Tanglu: "!!!" Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽
Zhang Zhengchang: "!!!!!!"
Luo Tianlin: "!!!!!!!!"
The three heavyweights, one municipal and two provincial-ministerial level, instantly petrified, their eyes wide and minds reeling in shock.
They couldn't believe their ears, but Liu Zhizhong's magnetic and warm voice penetrated with such clarity, there was no room for doubt!
There are some things that can be said lightly in some settings, but at a time , in such a situation, Liu Zhizhong wasn't that kind of person!
Could it be that he truly is the spokesperson for the Xiang family?
The powerful family's spokesperson!!!
Who could have seen that coming?
Liu Zhizhong still wore a friendly face and continued, "Leaders, what's wrong? I haven't spoken any untruths! You're all looking at me like that, it's making me feel a bit embarrassed! That... Secretary Zhang, please take a seat! Secretary Li, you too, let's sit down and talk."
Zhang Zhengchang's legs trembled, his face was flushed with embarrassment, and sweat broke out on his forehead. On his swollen and bruised face, he forced an extremely ugly smile, "Hehe, sit, sit... sit... hehe..."
He sat down, laughing foolishly towards Liu Zhizhong, his expression a mixture of awkwardness and fawning...
