Liu Zhizhong is someone with such keen observation skills, isn't he?
He could secretly observe that in the luxurious hall where they met and had tea, Mrs. Zheng was constantly examining him. Orıginal content can be found at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Zheng Shishi too, occasionally glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Were they really trying to force a divorce and enter a wealthy family?
At this moment, Liu Zhizhong could only politely say, "Uncle, you flatter me. I have no choice, for the officialdom is like a battlefield, walking on thin ice. Someone like me, whether at work or in life, must be cautious in all my actions."
"Hmm, I understand your situation somewhat. It's indeed not easy. Reaching this stage in officialdom is a miracle itself. Being careful and prudent is not wrong. You are excellent and indeed worthy of praise."
"Uncle, you really overpraise me. Of course, having your praise makes me very happy and satisfied..."
As they were speaking, a servant came to notify everyone that dinner was ready, so the conversation ended there.
Everyone moved to the nearby dining room of the Zheng Family Head and sat down.
The table was laden with luxurious food and drink, and Zheng Xitong introduced each dish one by one, which truly dazzled Liu Zhizhong.
Ninety percent of the dishes looked very extravagant!
The remaining ten percent were very environmentally friendly and green.
The entire hundred percent of the dishes were of top quality!
Even the wine was high-end. It was a congratulatory gift of 40-year-old limited-edition Moutai, gifted by an important person during Mr. Zheng's seventieth birthday. This person was the same one who hastily came and left during Zheng Sanjing's funeral.
At that time, two bottles were given, and Mr. Zheng hadn't been willing to drink them. Today, he brought them all out.
They truly regarded Liu Zhizhong as a VIP, a hundred percent VIP!
Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but express his gratitude, as that seemed appropriate.
"Oh, Grandpa Zheng, Uncle, this is too grand. I truly don't deserve this! I haven't done anything significant to deserve such a grand meal and wine, sigh..."
Mr. Zheng chuckled and said, "Xiao Liu, don't be modest. Excessive modesty is akin to arrogance. The Zheng family treats you for a reason and with proper consideration. Come, enjoy the food and drink. Tonight, I'll make an exception and drink a few glasses with you!"
Seeing that Liu Zhizhong was about to say something, he immediately continued, "Xitong, pour the wine! Tonight, these two bottles of wine are for everyone here. Let's enjoy them together!"
When the old man gave such an order, Zheng Xitong certainly obeyed, and Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to receive it.
These two bottles of limited-edition old wine, poured out, had only about one and a half jin left.
Present were Zheng Xitong and his spouse, Zheng Shishi, Old Man Zheng, Feng Xiaoyue, and Liu Zhizhong, just six people. Dividing the wine among them wasn't a problem.
As soon as the wine was poured, despite the significant evaporation, the fragrance filled the entire dining room, rich and elegant, with a unique and lasting charm!
Liu Zhizhong could drink and appreciate wine. The moment he smelled the fragrance, he was truly enchanted.
Indeed, it was excellent wine!
Yet, he felt that although the wine was good and tasted great, it also didn't. The Zheng family surely had something in mind tonight, sigh...
But what could he do?
With such good food, such fine wine, and such hospitable hosts, Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to bear it and drink and eat with everyone, reciprocating toasts.
In this scene, at this drinking event, Demon Liu was still skillful, handling everything perfectly without a trace of flaw, haha...
