NOVEL NEXT Chapter 965: 965
After the three of them finished packing their luggage and put it all on Big Lao's RV, Zhao Han and Lu Yumei went to the kitchen to quickly make lunch, planning to leave right after eating.
This lunch felt more like brunch, as they started eating before 11 am.
The three of them were happily eating, filled with anticipation and excitement about leaving the sweltering city of Yangzhou.
Oh, this year, Yangzhou became famous nationwide for its highest temperature reaching 44 degrees, earning it the title of the new hottest city.
Just as they were eating, both Lu Yumei and Zhao Han received calls from the bank, which Liu Zhizhong could hear clearly.
After the calls ended, the mother and daughter were left dumbfounded.
What happened?
The mother and daughter had decided to transfer their money overseas a few days ago, believing it to be safer and more secure.
As it turned out, the currency exchange went smoothly. Moreover, Zhao Han, through a college friend, managed to set up accounts and a company for them overseas.
However, yesterday, when they raised a request to remit the foreign exchange, they were blocked by the Yangzhou People's Bank.
The bank's explanation was that the large outflow of funds triggered the foreign exchange risk control mechanism, prohibiting the transfers. Simply put, Yangzhou People's Bank blocked it, firmly refusing to let the exchange go through.
Zhao Han was quite angry because the bank manager was a nephew of the Zhang family. Before her divorce, she used to call him Uncle. Some of Zhang Hongyang's previous money transfers were facilitated by this Uncle.
Now, after the divorce between Zhang Hongyang and Zhao Han, he refused to give them any leeway.
Lu Yumei smiled wryly and said, it's understandable—when people move away, tea cools down. I'll give your little aunt a call and see if she can handle this.
Liu Zhizhong understood perfectly, yet neither supported nor opposed, only said, "Mrs. Lu, let it be, don't bother your aunt, I'll contact Secretary Du instead!"
"But isn't Du Yuesheng a Zhang family member? Can you... handle it?" Lu Yumei instinctively exclaimed.
Zhao Han nodded in agreement, "Yeah, can you do it?"
Liu Zhizhong chuckled calmly, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura, looked at the mother and daughter, and said, "Don't you know by now whether I can or not?"
Look at him, slipping past like water under the bridge!
Lu Yumei seemed to remember something and couldn't help but smile, "Oh, how could I forget, haha..."
Zhao Han also caught the underlying meaning, felt her heart skip a beat, and nodded, "Haha, Brother Zhizhong is doing so well now; if you say you can do it, then you definitely can."
So, Liu Zhizhong picked up his phone and, in front of the mother and daughter, dialed Du Yuesheng's number.
Clearly, Du Yuesheng was thrilled to receive Liu Zhizhong's call.
"Oh Xiao Liu, it's been a long time, hasn't it? How have you been? I heard you had surgery, how's your recovery going? Alas, I've been so busy, I didn't even know which hospital you were in, and couldn't visit you!"
Look at how polite Secretary Du is; Lu Yumei and her daughter felt at ease hearing this.
Indeed, Liu Zhizhong was the man for the job; the former mayor valued him, and the current one also thought highly of him.
Liu Zhizhong remained steady, smiling as he said, "Thanks to you, for remembering me, everything is going well, and I am recovering fine! I'm back in Yangzhou, planning to take my mother-in-law and sister-in-law on a trip to cool off this afternoon! There's a matter I'd like your help with, Secretary Du!"
