NOVEL NEXT Chapter 924: 924
Liu Zhizhong laughed, "Mrs. Lu, it seems you still don't know me! Would I accept it? Am I the type who loves money? Can a mere fifty million US dollars buy my noble soul?"
"What?"
Lu Yumei was shocked, her beautiful eyes wide open, and her pretty face showed an exaggerated expression.
"Fifty... fifty million US dollars?"
She could hardly believe that the other party could offer such a sum.
Liu Zhizhong looked at her like this and found it amusing, nodding happily, "Yes, exactly this amount, neither more nor less."
"This amount... and in US dollars... hehe... quite a lot, refusing seems..."
Well, to be honest, after all, she is a woman. Who doesn't yearn for material wealth and benefits?
Thinking about this, Lu Yumei felt a bit regretful!
Liu Zhizhong immediately laughed, "What's wrong, Mrs. Lu? Did I do something wrong? Or should I go and take it back?"
"Oh, you..." Lu Yumei blushed and quickly shook her head, "What for? If you've refused, going back for it would be undignified, wouldn't it? It seems like you don't really dislike money either?"
Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Of course, there's no taking it back. A refusal is a refusal! I'm fully aware of what they're plotting. Is this money really for me? No, it's for Zheng Xitong, the godfather, and then..."
Liu Zhizhong drank his tea, smoked his cigarette, and after a thorough analysis, every word was on point.
Lu Yumei understood and appreciated Liu Zhizhong's way of thinking and even more his style.
However, as she praised him, she still spoke her mind a bit.
"Zhizhong, what you did is indeed right, avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble. In this officialdom, you have to grasp and understand who you should and shouldn't associate with."
"People like Ma Guangming are not good people. I truly detest him. Fortunately, you have a strong background now and can deal with him."
"But, this officialdom, haha, no one is really safe nowadays. You should know that many are desperately grabbing money and transferring assets. The US dollar, it's a good thing!"
"Moreover, Ma Liandong sent an offshore card, which is really handy. Even if, God forbid, one day you lost power and needed to flee, wouldn't you have material security?"
"Now, it's not too rare for officials to have second identities or for their families to hold second nationalities. Sigh... I'm just saying, not that I genuinely love that fifty million US dollars!"
"Zhizhong, tell me, is it really so good abroad? With constant turmoil every day, shootings daily, wildfires, floods, and blizzards, is it really so good? Hasn't it been declining for decades? Why are so many people still running over there? Officials flee because they've committed crimes; what about the rich? And those whose Goddess of Mercy approved their departure?"
Lu Yumei's remarks were truly thought-provoking!
Liu Zhizhong looked at the splendid sunset, remained silent for quite a while, and then bitterly smiled, "Mrs. Lu, if we use normal logical thinking, with a bit of reason and logic, we can figure out the answer."
"Uh... hehe..." Lu Yumei was a bit stunned, but after a moment, she smiled, as if she had figured something out, "Sigh, what kind of era, what kind of world is this, sigh..."
