Chapter 1477 - 1477
Zuo Xintong was stunned again, staring blankly at Liu Zhizhong, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Liu Zhizhong, on the other hand, took a sip of fruit tea in the flickering candlelight, looking calm and collected, and then poured himself another cup.
This guy, with every gesture, exuded an air of elegance that moved Zuo Xintong's heart.
Damn, he's really not an ordinary man!
Afterwards, Zuo Xintong also gave up the idea of confronting Liu Zhizhong. After all, what Liu Zhizhong said didn't do any major harm to Zhang Minmin and was actually greatly beneficial to Zuo Xintong's administration.
Liu Zhizhong poured more tea and raised his cup, "Hey, Mayor Zuo, why are you looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me? Come on, cheers, for mutual benefit."
"You..." Zuo Xintong raised her cup coldly, "Hmph, smart of you! Let's leave things like this. The environmental issue at Baoge Group's Daxi Branch needs to be addressed, and I agree, we can't bend the law for personal reasons. But the bet between you and Minmin stops here, it doesn't need to be mentioned again, and she won't leave Daxi, right?"
"Absolutely! Cheers!"
With that, Liu Zhizhong lightly clinked his glass against Zuo Xintong's and drank his fruit tea.
When the tea was refilled, Liu Zhizhong said, "Later, you should work on Mr. Zhang's perspective, and that should be it. I believe she's not inherently unreasonable and would make sacrifices for her cousin's career and reputation. After all, your cousin put in a lot of effort for her to settle in Daxi! A fair exchange, anyone would understand."
"Hmm, I'll handle that later."
"That's good. Afterwards, when things are settled, invite her over here, and I'll cook something nice for you two. Let's drink together and reconnect!"
Zuo Xintong felt shy and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth, what's with this 'reconnect'? Really, it's laughable..."
"Haha... misspoke, please correct me, haha..."
"..."
In general, the matter was resolved like this, and it was a win-win.
Liu Zhizhong once again proved his view on women: as long as you stay calm, you hold steady, no matter how troublesome the woman is, she can be won over, dealt with, and handled...
That night, Liu Zhizhong didn't have further intentions, as that would be counterproductive.
Zuo Xintong's dignity was already trampled by him, and with today's fiasco, her mind was disturbed, if her body was shocked again, what would happen? Hahaha...
So, Liu Zhizhong served good tea, said nice words, like a lickspittle, wouldn't that make Zuo Xintong feel comfortable?
The next day, Zuo Xintong managed to convince Zhang Minmin, which made everything easier.
First, the Daxi City Public Security Bureau released those security personnel of Zhang Minmin without pursuing legal responsibility. The Daxi Baoge Company provided considerable compensation to the personnel injured at the Environmental Protection Bureau, which was satisfactory.
Within two days, the Daxi City Environmental Protection Bureau assessed the severe pollution level of the Baoge Group's environmental issue and issued a staggering fine of 120 million, incorporating it into the city finances. Zhang Minmin really accepted it for her cousin's reputation. Anyway, the money earned far exceeded 120 million, just a drop in the bucket.
On the fifth day, at the Huayang City Environmental Protection Special Meeting, Zuo Xintong, as one of the main speakers, delivered a strong-worded speech...
