Chapter 1590 - 1590
Upon entering this luxurious residence, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
When he saw Zhang Minmin, he involuntarily sighed.
Zhang Minmin had dysmenorrhea, but she was much better today, just a bit pale, and didn't sleep well.
When she saw Liu Zhizhong and the transparent fish bag he was carrying, she was quite happy, "Why are you sighing? Sighing brings bad luck for three years!"
Liu Zhizhong smiled and handed the fish to Zhang Minmin, "Look, lively, isn't it? Enough for you to eat, right? Do I leave it with you or have the kitchen maid take care of it?"
Zhang Minmin smiled and called over a maid to take it to the kitchen to be kept.
Afterwards, Zhang Minmin asked another maid to brew some tea so she could have a chat with Liu Zhizhong.
Her maids were all women in their forties, very professional and well-mannered.
Once the tea was ready, the two sat by the large window in the study, where they could see the night view of the Daxi River leading to the Shennong Grand Canyon outside. The view was nice and quite enjoyable. This was a consideration when choosing this location.
Liu Zhizhong chuckled and asked, "Do you know why I sighed?"
"How should I know? You officials always have a mind full of thoughts when you sigh," Zhang Minmin playfully rolled her eyes at him.
Liu Zhizhong laughed and said, "I sighed for you!"
"For me? Haha... What's there to sigh about for me?" Zhang Minmin was confused but still expressed herself naturally and easily. Regardless, seeing the man she cared about put her in a very pleasant mood.
"I'm sighing because so many children of wealthy families, like you and Eldest Cousin Zuo, and Mayor Bai, are already enjoying life, lying on riches, aren't they? But you all chose to strive, to come to this small place to develop and create, which is truly admirable. Look at you, so young, here living a life full of superiority and wealth, unable to return home on weekends, and a trip back to Tiandu is troublesome; it's really something that makes my heart ache for you!"
Liu Zhizhong's words resonated with Zhang Minmin, hitting her heart, making her feel a sense of empathy.
Zhang Minmin took a sip of tea, munching on a small snack as she said, "Ah, Liu Zhizhong, I must say you have some human touch, a bit unique. But you are right, some rich kids do choose to lie flat, some lie flat domestically, but more overseas. Do you know why they lie flat abroad?"
Liu Zhizhong knew what she meant but pretended not to, responding humorously, "Because the moon is rounder abroad!"
Zhang Minmin chuckled, nodding, "You know what, it's true! Overseas, the air quality is quite good, the environment is friendly, the quality of life is high! Which of those wealthy kids doesn't have money? Whose money hasn't been transferred out? So... haha, they lie flat abroad, living off their wealth endlessly!"
"Oh, haha... That's how it is! But you are different, you continue to work hard here in the country."
Zhang Minmin gave a bitter laugh, "Compared to those who go abroad to enjoy themselves, we are indeed different. In terms of wealth, we still have pursuits, plus it's a task from the top, can't help it; in the officialdom, like Eldest Cousin and Mayor Bai, they still have political ideals, so... haha... we don't go abroad, we fight domestically!"
