Clash Of The Sword Titans
Chapter 682 Self-interest
Zhang Zhiming kept listening quietly. When Lu Li finished speaking, he did not answer immediately, but said to Zhang Lin: "Drink tea."
Zhang Lin just woke up from the dream, his arms trembled, but Yiyan picked up the tea cup, and put it down immediately after touching his lips, and said bitterly: "Second Young Master, this matter...in fact, it is also my responsibility."
Zhang Zhiming did not speak, he motioned to Zhang Lin to continue.
Lu Li was also very interested. He looked at Zhang Lin and said, "Wouldn't Zhang Caishen want to say that the old ghost sent someone to assassinate me, do you agree?"
"This...this is not true."
Zhang Lin wiped his sweat with his sleeves. He only felt that he had rarely had such a tense moment in his life. But thinking of the situation in front of him, he forcibly settled his mind and slowly explained: "At that time, he contacted various families. Also know."
"And... there are some families among them. The first person I found was me."
While talking, Zhang Lin observed Lu Li's expression.
He always felt that Lu Li was likely to violently kill.
In terms of this guy's temperament, this is not impossible.
"It's normal to find you. After all, you are the God of Wealth in the Zhang family. Zhang Jing just died soon, and the Zhang family must be in chaos. Those who control the money bag like you are the first target of all parties."
Lu Li rubbed his fingers, and Zhang Lin was surprised by his gentle attitude.
Zhang Lin's eyes widened, and he hesitated: "Manager Lu won't ask me...what did those family members say when they found me?"
"Why should I ask?"
Lu Li smiled and asked, "Is it necessary? The traitor from Jianfeng pointed out that you Zhang Family was behind the scenes. He didn't know the others. That's why I came to Zhang Family to ask for an explanation. As for who else was involved in this. Things...not important to me."
Zhang Lin was startled slightly, and then showed anger: "That beast, he is slandering!"
"Okay, have tea."
Just when Zhang Lin was about to have an attack, Zhang Zhiming interrupted him and pointed to his teacup, "This tea is very rare, don't waste it."
When Lu Li heard the words, he agreed: "The tea from the second master of Zhang Family is really good."
Seeing that the two of them sang a harmony, the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
But he still picked up the teacup and took a sip in silence, without thinking about how it tasted.
"Manager Lu is right. Since many families have participated in this incident together, it is better to find one of them and ask for an explanation instead of looking for them one by one."
"After all, a person's energy and strength are limited."
Zhang Zhiming spoke slowly, giving another cup of tea one after another, and then watching Lu Li said, "So, what exactly does Director Lu want."
"Or... I should say, what can the Zhang family do for you?"
Don't look at Zhang Zhiming's gentle attitude, but just this sentence made Lu Li's face a smile.
The feeling of encountering the same kind is not an illusion.
This Zhang Zhiming... is also a merciless person.
Although it was a bit of a scolding to say this, and Lu Li always felt that he was treating people with sincerity, which could not be regarded as ruthless, but Zhang Zhiming's gentleness gave him this feeling.
"Zhang Juan is dead, Zhang Er Shao doesn't seem to be sad at all?"
Various thoughts flashed in his mind, Lu Li still had a smile on his face, but without answering questions, he suddenly mentioned Zhang Juan.
When Zhang Zhiming heard the words, his brows moved slightly.
Although it was imperceptible, Lu Li was always observing his expression, and the instant change did not escape his eyes.
"Sure enough."
As expected, Lu Qi said secretly.
The death of Zhang Juan did have some impact on Zhang Zhiming.
Although the two are brothers, Zhang Juan is not harsh on his younger brother on the surface, but only two parties can know the many things behind this.
But for Lu Li, he didn't believe that Zhang Juan, a lunatic who could be a hidden child in the sky, and even abandon his life in exchange for the coming of heaven, would be a person who cares about blood relationship.
Moreover, Zhang Zhiming suddenly fell back that year, saying that he suffered some accidents, but who can tell the real details?
"Zhang Juan is my elder brother. Although he has made mistakes, I cannot help but comment on many things."
Zhang Zhiming smiled faintly, concealing his emotions very well.
"Is that so? The relationship between your two brothers is really touching."
Lu Li nodded, "He didn't even allow you to participate in such a big event as collusion with the outside world. It can be seen that it protects you very well. Seeing the drama of brothers smashing the wall and killing each other, seeing this kind of brotherhood, I feel that Precious."
"Ms. Lu has something to say directly, there is no need to go around with me here."
Zhang Zhiming raised his eyes and took a deep look at Lu Li: "You found the Zhang family, didn't you just fancy the heritage of the Zhang family? You want to take advantage of the power of the Zhang family to wipe out those families that are hostile to you. Putting down the Yanzhou chaos, shocking Xiao Xiao. Your thoughts are correct. If it is really beneficial to the Zhang family, I can also nod and agree, but it's just this thing. As for more, forgive me for the gang Not Manager Lu anymore."
"Hey, why should Young Master Zhang reject people thousands of miles away? Many things have to be discussed slowly before we can reach a conclusion. It is a fact that Zhang Family sent someone to assassinate me, and if I want to destroy Zhang Family, do you think you Can you stop it?"
"Now I am sitting here, I am sincere, and I also released goodwill to the Zhang family. Of course, Zhang Er Shao doesn't need to think that this is alms or threat. Your brother Zhang Juan can cooperate with Tian Wai Tian to plot to assassinate King Yan and cut off the luck of the world. , Then you can also cooperate with me, no matter what I want to do, as long as you and the Zhang family can benefit, we will have the relationship we need, and no one is above the other."
Lu Li tapped his fingers on the table, and slowly said, "I admit, I still suspect Zhang Juan and Tian Waitian's cooperation until now. You may not be behind you. But now he is dead, Zhang Family Qunlong has no leader, that ...The old man who doesn't know what he is called is also unclear. Some things require smart people to handle.
"This person can be you."
"It can also be him."
At the end, Lu Li pointed at Zhang Lin next to him.
This scared Zhang Lin a big jump.
He hurriedly said: "Manager Lu, don't make such a joke, how can I Zhang Lin..."
"He was right."
Before Zhang Lin finished speaking, Zhang Zhiming interrupted him.
"Some things need smart people to do. Moreover, what Manager Lu wants is an obedient and smart person." Zhang Zhiming said indifferently: "Although I am a useless person now, in the eyes of Manager Lu, I am hiding. Many secret wastes. Such people are far more useful than Zhang Lin."
Zhang Lin didn't expect Zhang Zhiming to say this, and couldn't help but look at him.
"Zhang Er Shao is really extremely smart."
Lu Li looked at Zhang Zhiming’s handsome face, which was a little sick, and said with a smile, "Any secret comes at a price, so I don’t like secrets. Since we want to talk about things, we should talk frankly and honestly. If everyone They all have their own minds, what should this world be like?"
"Manager Lu was joking. If it weren't for each of you, I wouldn't sit here and drink tea peacefully today.
Zhang Zhiming said indifferently: "The nature of human beings is self-interest. I am for my benefit and you are for your benefit. As long as our interests do not conflict, we can be friends."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiming paused, "I heard that General Manager Lu likes Yili the most, and once said that he will not let the people who work with you suffer. If this is the case, then let's put everything aside and just talk about benefits."
"Although I am a useless person, I still have a bit of strength to speak in the Zhang family. I can stand up and take over as the head of the Zhang family. I can also agree to your request and agree to your plan. But Manager Lu needs to tell me, this way What is good for Zhang family and myself?"
Zhang Zhiming's voice is still gentle, but at this time, he already has the majesty of the head of the family.
Looking at Zhang Zhiming, who was sitting there talking and talking, Zhang Lin suddenly thought that he had seen the old Patriarch of the previous generation.
That is, Zhang Zhiming's father.
Like...too much.
Although he was still young at that time, he had seen the demeanor of the old Patriarch of the Zhang family.
Zhang Zhiming is more like the heir of the old Patriarch than the surly and indifferent Zhang Juan.
At that time, the Zhang family also thought so.Everyone thought that Zhang Zhiming would inherit the mantle of the old Patriarch and become the Patriarch of the next generation of the Zhang family.
Unfortunately……
In the end Zhang Zhiming was abandoned.
