Li Tanglu spoke quite seriously, "Xiao Liu, why are you still thinking of giving gifts to Zhang Zhengchang?"
The implication was self-evident.
Luo Tianlin also had a serious expression and was very concerned about Liu Zhizhong's answer.
Liu Zhizhong's clever move was indeed profound and unexpected!
He earnestly said, "To Old Secretary and Minister Luo, I understand your concerns. However, in my view, Old Secretary Zhang has made contributions to Yangzhou as well. Although an unpleasant incident occurred between him and my mother-in-law, the issue has been resolved."
"Moreover, the blow suffered by Old Secretary Zhang was immense; he has become quite dejected, and his health is certainly declining. He indeed needs some nourishment."
"There is no eternal hatred, nor permanent enemies. Living with hatred makes a life unhappy. As a junior, it is proper for me to visit Old Secretary Zhang to show my respect."
