Chapter 633: Chapter 633

Zhang Zhengchang saw Liu Zhizhong quickly come over with his phone, and his old face was even more filled with anger, "You sure grabbed it quickly, didn't you? What are you thinking in your heart?"

Liu Zhizhong looked innocent, "You are the senior leader, you spoke, and of course, I must listen, I must act quickly. I can't afford to neglect my duties."

Zhang Zhengchang truly had no words left, so he said, "Consider yourself quick-witted then! Start recording!"

"Oh, okay, you start."

Liu Zhizhong also sat up straight, the recording button on his phone already activated, adopting an altogether proper demeanor.

Zhang Zhengchang closed his eyes, his heart was in pain, struggling, but still he started speaking in a low voice.

"I, Zhang Zhengchang, the head of the Yangzhou Zhang Family, effective immediately, will no longer serve as the head of the Zhang Family. All matters of the Zhang Family will be decided through consultation by Du Yuesheng, Zhang Yue Xing, and Zhang Zhenglong, all of which have nothing to do with me."

"The entire Zhang Family's attitude towards Liu Zhizhong ends here. They must not continue to suppress him under the pretext of my father Zhang Dingkang's death, forcing him into a situation where he has no standing in Yangzhou. Normal appointments, normal relocations, the Zhang Family must not obstruct!"

"The personal grudges between Zhang Hongyang and Liu Zhizhong can be political rivalry, can be a game of political wisdom, but must not involve family power, must not harm the familial interests, and must be resolved by themselves."

"The Zhang Family agrees that after the completion of the seven-seven ritual for my father, Zhao Han and Zhang Hongyang will divorce and no longer be husband and wife! Each should strive on their path in life and their political careers. A forced marriage is always sour."

"As for Miss Lu Yumei, I, Zhang Zhengchang, am willing to offer 50 million in cash compensation, hoping she can forgive everything, and I ask Miss Lu Yumei to accept this. At the same time, I, Zhang Zhengchang, will live in seclusion, disappear from society, refuse all social functions and activities, vanish from the mortal world, out of sight, out of mind—I will do as I say."

After speaking, he opened his eyes, looked at Liu Zhizhong, and nodded, "Pause for a moment!"

"Okay!" Liu Zhizhong paused the recording appropriately and exclaimed, "Well, Old Secretary, that's quite a tough stance you're taking there!"

Zhang Zhengchang looked like a defeated rooster, shook his head, "A horse stumbles, one long kneel and can't rise, what can be done? You've won!" Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁

"Uh… won? Old Secretary, what you're saying…"

"Enough, don't beat around the bush. Continue the recording, I have just one small request. If you can meet it, my recording will take effect."

"The surveillance footage, I need you to completely destroy it, or hand it over to me to destroy."

Liu Zhizhong nodded, "That's not my call to make, I need to ask Mrs. Lu."

"Then go back and ask!"

After Zhang Zhengchang finished speaking, he waved his hand and closed his eyes, not wanting to say another word to Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong, knowing when to take a hint, quickly stopped the recording and bid his farewell.

Actually, he was satisfied with Zhang Zhengchang's attitude and handling of the situation, even pleasantly surprised.

This scheme plotted by Lu Yumei and Liu Zhizhong was, to begin with, aimed at paving the way for Liu Zhizhong's political freedom, without even considering any compensation.

But now that Zhang Zhengchang had brought it up, why not?

Zhang Zhengchang's handling of himself meant that power within the family was also being decentralized; his desire to vanish from society was indeed an appropriate resolution.

As for the grudge between Zhang Hongyang and Liu Zhizhong, he left it unattended, leaving them to their devices, but with restrictions which was still a clear-headed decision.

Liu Zhizhong didn't care. After all, that trash Zhang Hongyang couldn't leap into the sky no matter what. Without any family power meddling, they could play their games and fight—let them be!

In fact, Liu Zhizhong really wasn't afraid anymore of Zhang Hongyang using family power against him.

Zhang Hongyang's uncle Du Yuesheng was in the business of selling turtle blood! Even giving Lin Juan 100,000 yuan—wasn't that showing allegiance?

Zhang Hongyang's third uncle Zhang Zhenglong, hadn't he already declared he'd always support me? At least in Yangzhou, that's his attitude!

As for Zhang Hongyang's cousin Zhang Yue Xing, do I even need to mention her? I have the right and freedom to impregnate her, would she not stand by me?

Psychologically, Liu Zhizhong was utterly victorious!

Upon returning to the villa, Liu Zhizhong edited Zhang Zhengchang's recording and sent it to Lu Yumei.

After receiving it, Lu Yumei immediately called Liu Zhizhong.

"What's the matter, Liu Zhizhong? Are you cheap? Did you go to the Provincial City to find that old bastard again? Did you even bring flowers and a fruit basket?"

His mother-in-law's tone was not too pleased!

Liu Zhizhong could understand; this mother-in-law really had a strong desire for control.

Just as he was about to say something, Lu Yumei said again, "I finished watching your new work last night. I was calling you, but you turned off your phone! Why are you turning off your phone? Feeling guilty? Is that a story about selling suffering, or is it true? You better explain to me! What does that first flush of youth mean, huh? So you still have a thing for women six years older than you? Why such a strong taste?"

Wow, his mother-in-law's unexpected jealousy flared up, leaving Liu Zhizhong feeling down, thinking inside, 'I like them even if they are more than ten years older, isn't that what Zhang Yue Xing is?'

But he still called out aggrievedly, "Mrs. Lu, don't rush, what should I talk about first?"

"Talk about everything! Quickly!"
