"Why bother with all this? Haha, stop pretending to be so compassionate, alright? Now, haha, you've left the influencer scene, you don't have any capital to do business, and you're just trying to scrape by. You can only return to officialdom, right? Haha, do you think you can compete with me? Be realistic, okay?"
Liu Zhizhong faced Zhang Hongyang's sarcastic expression and could only smile faintly, "Alright, you win, I can't compete, okay? I'm going to drink now, wishing County Head Zhang a bright future!"
"Go ahead, drink your sorrows away! It's best if you don't return to Yangzhou, it's tough losing to me, right? Hehe..."
Zhang Hongyang hung up the phone with a sinister smile.
Liu Zhizhong sighed helplessly, smiled at Zheng Xitong, and spread his hands.
Zheng Xitong nodded with a smile, "Your former brother-in-law has a narrow mindset!"
"Haha... yes, a bit petty. But it's rare for him to be in the spotlight, let's just let him have it!"
"Mm, not bad. Xiao Liu's perspective and mindset are not something the average young official can match. Come..."
Zheng Xitong said, picking up a beer from the cooling mini-fridge on the table, popping it open with a snap, and personally poured a drink for Liu Zhizhong. Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
"Third Uncle will have a night beer with you, just enjoy yourself. As for Zhang Hongyang, don't bother with him. The achievements and reputation he's crafted by exploiting your labor and connections are not worth mentioning."
With that, he handed the poured glass to Liu Zhizhong.
Liu Zhizhong quickly picked up the glass, "Thank you, Third Uncle, let's drink!"
After downing the beer, Zheng Xitong put down his glass. Liu Zhizhong, being considerate, quickly refilled it and poured himself one, too.
Zheng Xitong tossed a couple of peanuts into his mouth, chewing slowly with a smile, "Zhang Hongyang is quite arrogant, isn't he? Tomorrow, I'll have the Provincial Disciplinary Committee send some people to Shadong County to have a little chat with him, knock him down a peg."
Liu Zhizhong was shocked, "Ah, Third Uncle, forget it, alright? You have the ability to do it effortlessly. But I think there's no need..."
"Haha, it's not about what you think, it's about what I think." Zheng Xitong interrupted Liu Zhizhong with a smiling face, truly a smiling tiger, "Xiao Liu is a benefactor to the Zheng family, and it's impossible for us not to repay. Don't worry about it. I'll just scare him a little, so he won't be too arrogant. Especially being high-profile in front of Xiao Liu, that's crossing the Zheng family's bottom line! You have a bigger perspective, yet you still defend him while he targets you. That's just unacceptable, hmm..."
"Third Uncle, you..."
Liu Zhizhong didn't have time to say anything more; it was pointless now. He couldn't stop him.
Zheng Xitong was already smiling as he picked up his phone, operating it with his head down, and waving a hand to signal Liu Zhizhong not to talk!
Every action reeked of the aura of powerful people, sigh～～～～
Liu Zhizhong could only sigh secretly, you fool, Zhang Hongyang, you're such an idiot!
It seems that fool's phone call wasn't as arrogant as before; his tone was evolving towards maturity, but the essence remained the same!
Why did you have to show off in front of me tonight? Happy now?
This isn't my fault; it's mainly you walking into your own demise.
Hope you learn a lesson, don't drive yourself to a dead end!
I, Liu Zhizhong, don't want to argue with you, but I can't hold back Third Uncle Zheng. He's doing it for my sake!
Of course, Liu Zhizhong understood Zheng Xitong would also have demands of him. Otherwise, why make his wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law leave?
