577 Eat Something
The fat Zhang Rong only needed to be responsible for enjoying life and playing a good character while he did so.
Some of the major decisions were made by the skinny Zhang Rong in secret. In the Rongwei Group, he was inconspicuous and his position was merely that of an ordinary employee.
The fat Zhang Rong’s seemingly stupid actions could effectively confuse the enemy and mislead them. One in the light and one in the dark. Combined with the thin Zhang Rong’s meticulous thinking and decisive actions, the Rongwei Group had been developing very smoothly.
At this moment, Huang Fang was filled with desolation as he listened to these unknown secrets.
Zhang Rong talked about these topics with him without a care. It was still unknown whether he could survive today.
Zhang Rong seemed to have noticed Huang Fang’s worry and explained with a smile, “Don’t worry, someone already knew about it before you did.”
Just as Huang Fang was still kneeling on the ground at his wit’s end, the sound of footsteps from afar disrupted his chaotic thoughts.
Two waiters dressed like service staff walked over with a large tray in their hands.
Huang Fang was freed from his restrictions. He could finally have a taste of freedom.
Out of the blue, Huang Fang missed the meetings he had had with Chu Ning. Unfortunately, he had chosen the wrong path.
Perhaps leaving Chu Ning wasn’t the wrong choice, but Huang Fang could only blame himself for turning to Zhou Hao and landing himself in his current predicament.
“Come, sit down and eat something. Chat with me while you do so.” Zhang Rong politely gestured for Huang Fang to sit on the chair. The tray was placed on the table between them. The dishes were sumptuous and exquisite.
Zhang Rong picked up his chopsticks and lifted a piece of crystal-clear sashimi from a plate. He put it into his mouth and lamented as he ate, “Try it. It’s fresh sliced river sturgeon. Twenty or thirty years ago, this was a top-notch delicacy. At that time, only the rich could afford it. I wasn’t very old at that time and had never heard of it, let alone eat it.”
Huang Fang sat cautiously at the table. He had no appetite at the moment.
To him, this was like the final meal of a death row prisoner.
Even so, he was still a little shocked.
The crystal clear sturgeon sashimi on the plate were not meant to be eaten.
The river sturgeon had been recognized as an endangered species more than ten years ago. Five years ago, it was even recognized as a first-class protected animal. In other words, this thing couldn’t even be seen. Who would think of eating it?
Eating it would really put you in jail, and it would be a minimum of three years.
“Eat, what are you waiting for? I haven’t tasted such delicious food for almost two months. My luck today is really good. It would be even better if nothing happened to the group.” Zhang Rong shook his head regretfully.
“How is it? It tastes delicious, right? Some people always like to add dipping sauces when eating sashimi. My brother is like that. He eats a lot and relishes things with strong tastes, so he is obese. However, I usually like to enjoy the original taste of food. Just like when getting things done, you have to grasp its essence.” Zhang Rong looked at Huang Fang expectantly as he took a bite.
Huang Fang didn’t know how to answer Zhang Rong’s question. He wasn’t in the mood to savor the fish in his mouth. He just nodded heavily, his stomach churning.
The more polite and respectful Zhang Rong was to him, the more flustered he became.
He knew very well what kind of person Zhang Rong was.
Why would someone who killed without batting an eye talk to him so gently?
Either Huang Fang had a high status and was worthy of Zhang Rong’s hospitality, or Huang Fang was nothing in Zhang Rong’s eyes.
Huang Fang was not stupid. He was more inclined to the second possibility.
Therefore, he chewed mechanically and did not dare to swallow, just like his current conflicted mood.
“For me, this year is destined to not be peaceful.” Zhang Rong abruptly changed the topic.
“Mr. Zhang, you must be joking. In M City, there shouldn’t be anyone who wants to be your opponent,” Huang Fang said carefully.
“Chu Ning and Zhou Hao dare to do so. The two of them don’t take me seriously.” Zhang Rong picked up a piece of thinly-sliced ham, eating as he spoke.
“Chu Ning… She was simply lucky,” Huang Fang stammered.
