Chapter 1473 - 1473
Liu Zhizhong chuckled lightly, shook his head, and took out a cigarette to light up.
"Mayor Zuo, let's not talk about that now. Why don't you eat first? Your cooking skills are quite impressive, almost rivaling mine. If you don't mind, I can join you for a bit to eat and drink some more, haha..."
"Get lost! Go away! I'll deal with you once I'm done eating!"
Liu Zhizhong, too lazy to argue with her, stood up and said, "Alright, enjoy your meal slowly. I'll go take a walk by the water. It's been a while; who knows, maybe that big Bluefish you caught is tired and floating up by the shore!"
Zuo Xintong said coldly, "Do you think you're that lucky to see it today?"
"What if?"
"No way, get lost!"
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Liu Zhizhong strolled to the water's edge in Shuangxin Valley, taking a walk, his mood still light and cheerful.
Returning here, Zuo Xintong's attitude said it all.
Liu Zhizhong had won this bet for sure. Now it was just a matter of seeing how Zhang Minmin would fulfill her end of the bet—whether completely or just in part.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong thought, it'd probably be just in part, right? After all, driving Zhang Minmin out of Daxi City doesn't serve much purpose, and winning too completely wouldn't align with the officialdom's unspoken rule to leave some leeway, considering Zhang Minmin and Zuo Xintong's dignity.
Regarding the environmental penalty for Baoge Group, Liu Zhizhong felt that ultimately some concessions would need to be made, but punishment was assured, haha...
Liu Zhizhong took a lap by the water and, well, didn't see his fishing rod! Seems the big Bluefish Zuo Xintong caught was indeed sizeable and still resisting in the water for a few days, huh?
Liu Zhizhong estimated it was about time and headed back to Shuangxin Courtyard.
As expected, Zuo Xintong had just finished her meal and emerged from the small courtyard by the kitchen.
Zuo Xintong said coldly, "Go tidy up, then come to my courtyard."
Having said that, she set off down the small path in the courtyard, striding back with a haughty gait.
Watching her enchanting silhouette under the moonlight, each step and movement was full of charm, exuding a tantalizing scent of pheromones!
Liu Zhizhong swallowed hard, contemplating whether he should, uh, make a move on her tonight? Haha... Liu the Demon King, there's nothing he doesn't dare to imagine.
Not in a hurry, Liu Zhizhong tidied up the kitchen and then busied himself again.
What was he busy with?
Haha, he was meticulously brewing a post-meal fruity tea to cut the grease, and baking some snacks to go with it!
Pleasing a woman, Liu Zhizhong had his methods.
Though it took some time, Liu Zhizhong didn't mind.
But on the other hand, Zuo Xintong was a bit concerned, enjoying the moon in the courtyard, puffing on a lady's cigarette, slowly smoking.
Before long, Zuo Xintong called.
"Liu Zhizhong, are you going to wash dishes until tomorrow morning? What's taking you so long? Got cold feet? If you're scared, then don't cause trouble for me during the day! Idiot!"
Liu Zhizhong replied unhurriedly, "Mayor Zuo, don't be so anxious! Wait a minute, I have a little surprise for you."
"Surprise, my foot! Hurry up, stop dawdling!"
"Just ten more minutes! You can't rush good things."
Having said that, Liu Zhizhong hung up the phone.
Zuo Xintong couldn't do anything about him and was too lazy to rush him further, anyway tonight was the night to lay cards on the table.
She'd just wait and see what kind of surprise this damned fool was planning to bring out.
