Chapter 593: Chapter 593

Zhang Zhengchang's opening bid was five billion! This update ıs available on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

And with this method, the funds could even leave the country, completely secure!

Even Du Yuesheng's eyes bulged, his dark face becoming comically distorted.

The surprise on his face was somewhat humorous. Dark skin, big white teeth—how could it not be funny?

"No, brother-in-law..."

Du Yuesheng managed to blurt out in surprise.

But Zhang Zhengchang barked sharply, "Shut up! Otherwise, go fish right now!"

Du Yuesheng had no choice but to lower his head, unable to protest any further.

Originally, he had reached an agreement with his brother-in-law at the Zhang Family Mansion for three billion from Liu Zhizhong.

Who would have known that at this point, Zhang Zhengchang had added another two billion "little goals"!

To his brother-in-law, this did seem a bit heartless.

Inside and out, Liu Zhizhong had already contributed four or five billion to the Zhang Family, mainly on Zhang Yuxing's projects.

Zhang Tianbao, upon seeing this, also furrowed his eyebrows and bowed his head in silence, pondering how to help Liu Zhizhong.

In his view, Zhang Zhengchang was definitely showing his greed—his appetite was too large!

Lu Yumei was almost ready to jump up and curse.

This old bastard, how could he be so bold in making demands? Why didn't he just aim for the sky?

Liu Zhizhong's inner thoughts were raging like ten thousand galloping horses.

Damn, this old man's gotta die. It seems absolutely correct that I slept with his sister and his daughter!

Thinking of Zhang Yuxing and Zhang Qixiang, Liu Zhizhong finally felt a sense of balance return to his heart.

He cracked a smile as Lu Yumei already began speaking, her voice slightly cold: "Father-in-law, don't you think your demand is a bit excessive? Liu Zhizhong may have a lot of money, but that money is..."

Zhang Zhengchang smiled at his mother-in-law and said, "Mother-in-law, there's no need for you to haggle on behalf of Liu Zhizhong. Five billion, that's my final offer; there's no room for negotiation. Tonight..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Tianbao and Du Yuesheng, and then continued: "Pleading won't work today. If Liu Zhizhong wants to advance his career in Yangzhou, this is the only way. I'll give you three days to think about it. Three days later..."

He looked at his wristwatch, nodded, and said, "Hmm, seven-thirty. I want an answer by seven-thirty in three days' time!"

After finishing, he took out a cigarette for himself and lit it, offering none to the others.

With a puff of smoke, he added: "Hey there, Liu Zhizhong, clean up the table, will you? Tianbao, my younger brother, and you, Yuesheng, take the gear. It's time to go fishing! It'll be dark soon. I'm too stuffed to move and don't want to watch you fish. I'll wait here for you; we must leave by eleven tonight!"

The conversation had reached this point, and neither Du Yuesheng nor Zhang Tianbao could say anything else, so they got up to retrieve their equipment from the car.

Lu Yumei then said, "Zhizhong, why don't you help Secretary Du and Minister Zhang with their equipment? Take them fishing, and I'll wait here!"

After that, she turned to Zhang Zhengchang: "Father-in-law, shall we have some tea and chat a bit more? It's really cool by the river, no mosquitoes or anything. It's so nice... hehe..."

Zhang Zhengchang secretly couldn't agree more!

He had intended to sit down and spend some time alone with his mother-in-law, bask in her fragrance, admire her beauty and figure, and think some wicked thoughts.

Especially after tonight's exquisite river seafood dinner and a bit of alcohol, even his old bones felt a surge of warmth!

Liu Zhizhong had been planning just that. The plan he had with Lu Yumei was this: after dinner, he would accompany Zhang Tianbao and Du Yue fishing, while Lu Yumei kept Zhang Zhengchang company with tea and chat, and then... hehe...

So everything was falling into place. Liu Zhizhong quickly agreed, "Okay, okay! But you sit, Lu Ma, and chat with the old Secretary, enjoy the breeze. I'll clean up real quick."

True to his word, Liu Zhizhong quickly tidied up the table. By the time Zhang Tianbao and Du Yuesheng had fetched their gear,

the two City Committee bigshots had quite the impressive equipment, and even their fishing chairs were heavy.

Liu Zhizhong also grabbed his own, somewhat lighter gear and led the two towards the fishing spots.

As the sunset was spectacular, Liu Zhizhong knew the climax was approaching.

Behind him, Zhang Zhengchang watched their shadows, secretly thrilled—it was back to a world for two with his mother-in-law...
