Zhizhong laughed and said, "Little Aunt Xin, is that really necessary? Everyone's home has its own privacy, some things are not appropriate to pry into."
"Are you teaching me how to behave? At this time, I'm still the victim here, can't I just be curious? If you don't call, I won't agree to deal with the aftermath! Humph!"
With that, she slammed her chopsticks down and crossed her arms over her charming chest, her expression clearly saying, I'm done eating, now it's your problem. Newest update provıded by 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
"Little Aunt Xin, it's all about the bigger picture, you're someone who has that kind of vision…"
"I've lost it, I suddenly lost my bigger picture! You're not listening to me anymore, humph humph…"
Well, she's being capricious and stubborn, leaving one no choice!
Zhizhong didn't want her to change her mind, which would have made all his efforts this morning for naught.
So, he had no choice but to call Tian Lin. After all, he genuinely didn't have Li Tanglu's number and could only reach him through Tian Lin.
Over at the hospital, Li Tanglu was also concerned about Chen Yuanyuan and wanted to check up on him at the medical building while giving him a good scolding. But Tian Lin was worried about his temper and stopped him.
Li Tanglu's heart wasn't so great to begin with, but after a period of recuperation, his health had indeed improved. If Chen Yuanyuan angered him again, all that recuperation would've been for nothing.
So, the two went back to their room to drink tea and play chess, waiting for lunch.
Lunch, as usual, featured the high-quality river delicacies sent by Zhizhong, which the two senior leaders enjoyed greatly. As they ate, they spoke highly of Zhizhong.
When Zhizhong called Tian Lin to speak to Li Tanglu, Tian Lin was happy to oblige and put the call on speaker for Li Tanglu and Zhizhong to talk.
Li Tanglu was quite pleased and said, "Zhizhong, it's Old Li here, what's up?"
Zhizhong glanced at Xiang Wenxin. With a faint huff from her, she managed to look so adorably petulant, it tugged at Zhizhong's heartstrings.
Zhizhong smiled and said, "Old Secretary, I've timely reported the relevant situation to Second Miss Xiang, and she is very satisfied. Specifically speaking…"
He certainly conveyed Xiang Wenxin's words exactly as she expressed them, very accurately.
Li Tanglu was moved almost to tears, his voice quivering, "Zhizhong, I really can't thank you enough! Without a good intermediary like you to coordinate and convey messages, I genuinely have no idea how to resolve this mess that deadbeat Chen Yuanyuan has caused! Second Miss Xiang's magnanimity, her grand vision, her broad-mindedness, I truly admire it! A beauty with such grace, truly the goddess of Southern Country, I would love nothing more than to meet her in person and give her a thumbs up——"
Look at how excited he is, haha...
Zhizhong looked at Xiang Wenxin and saw she was quite pleased with the praise, almost floating on air. Heh, women do like to hear nice things, don't they?
Zhizhong said, "Well, Old Secretary Li, don't get too excited. It was indeed Second Miss Xiang's broader perspective that played a significant role in moving past this issue, her character and beauty both outstanding!"
"Yes, yes, well said, a union of character and beauty, haha…"
"However, from the perspective of human concern, Second Miss Xiang did bring up a small new request, and she hopes Old Secretary Li can clear this doubt!"
Xiang Wenxin was very pleased and gave Zhizhong a thumbs up. Little Zhongzi sure has a way with words, and I like it!
Indeed, what was merely Xiang Wenxin's gossip-driven curiosity, poking into others' family privacy, was spun by Zhizhong as human concern, making it sound so noble and high-minded.
Li Tanglu immediately agreed on the spot, "Yes, yes, yes, with such human concern from Second Miss, Old Li truly has nothing to hide, nothing too trivial! Zhizhong, what's the question?"
