Chapter 2265 - 2265

Liu Zhizhong inexplicably smiled, shook his head, said nothing, just looked at the other party.

A policeman said, "You kid, you're really quite tough, huh? Let me tell you, it's Director Zhang Xiaoyang from the Shunping County Committee Office. Tonight, he's dining with the County Party Secretary and County Mayor to host the Mayor, and they specifically asked for wide-bodied crucian carp. Understand?"

Liu Zhizhong chuckled silently, not appearing scared, and said, "Oh, so Director Zhang is hosting, huh, haha..."

"What are you laughing about, what's so funny?"

The other party saw Liu Zhizhong unafraid and even laughing, so they got a bit angry, "Are you mocking Director Zhang Xiaoyang's family power?"

Liu Zhizhong shook his head, "I'm not mocking. It's just, if that's the case, I'll give you half of the fish here, is that enough?"

After speaking, Liu Zhizhong even took out his bucket of live fish, ready to divide the fish.

The other party saw it, so many wide-bodied crucian carp, their eyes were really greedy! In Shunping County, who doesn't know that this kind of carp is particularly delicious, with fewer bones, more meat, fragrant, and chewy!

"No way! You caught these illegally, we need to take them all!"

Liu Zhizhong took a deep breath and said, "Wait a moment, I'll call Director Zhang."

He then took out his old phone.

The group looked and almost laughed, this guy with a broken phone, could he really contact Zhang Xiaoyang?

One of the fishery administration guys, a bit hot-tempered, said, "What are you pretending for? You just make a random call, and we're supposed to believe it's Director Zhang? Put it on speaker, or else we'll take all your fish and lock you up for seven days, and fine you 500 bucks!"

Liu Zhizhong merely glanced at them silently and directly dialed Zhang Xiaoyang's phone, putting it on speaker.

Soon, Zhang Xiaoyang's voice came through: "This is Zhang Xiaoyang, who is this?"

Oh crap...

The group was stunned! They looked at Liu Zhizhong like he was a freak, baffled at how he had Director Zhang's phone number.

Liu Zhizhong calmly said, "Zhang Xiaoyang, it's me, Liu Zhizhong. I heard you're hosting a dinner tonight, and you specifically want wide-bodied crucian carp?"

Zhang Xiaoyang was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"Not only do I know, but I also know that your people hired professional electric fishers in the river, but didn't catch any, so they came to rob me. These few people in front of me..."

Liu Zhizhong explained everything clearly.

The group saw this situation and truly believed that this guy knew Zhang Xiaoyang, and it seemed like their relationship was a bit strange.

Could it be that this guy is truly not afraid of Zhang Xiaoyang?

Zhang Xiaoyang listened clearly, thought for a moment, and said, "Ah... Liu Zhizhong, I didn't expect you to fall to fishing for a living. With so many wide-bodied crucian carp, you could sell them for several hundred, almost a thousand, right? Why bother? There aren't many wide-bodied crucian carp left in this river, why not do some small business or prepare for civil service exams? Haha..."

His tone was heavily mocking.

He understood that with the Zhang family's intervention, Liu Zhizhong had lost his chance to mix in officialdom.

Liu Zhizhong was of course aware of the mocking, but he earnestly said, "Fishing is my leisure, there's no need to mock me. Considering the power of the Zhang family, half of my fish will go to you, about seven or eight pounds, and I'll keep the rest for myself. Additionally, if I run into those two electric fishers by the river again, I won't be too kind, you better instruct your people. Where I fish, they couldn't possibly be unaware."

"This..."

Zhang Xiaoyang was still pondering, and one of the fishery management guys, trying to curry favor, shouted, "In Shunping County, do you have the face to bargain with Director Zhang? Hurry up, leave all the fish and get lost!"

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyang spoke, "Alright Liu Zhizhong, half for you and half for me, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll instruct the electric fishers to be restrained."

His voice was naturally very clear.

The fishery admin and police officers were dumbfounded, Director Zhang had given the word, what else could they do?

Liu Zhizhong glanced at them coldly, making them feel uncomfortable and awkward.

Liu Zhizhong said, "Fine! Let's do it this way! Zhang Xiaoyang, you just mugged me once."

"Haha, even if I mugged you, what can you do about it, right? And wasn't it not the first time I mugged you, right?"

What Zhang Xiaoyang said, haha... It was obvious he meant, didn't I even steal your girlfriend, huh...

Liu Zhizhong pursed his lips, about to speak, when Zhang Xiaoyang already hung up the call.

Liu Zhizhong looked at the people in front of him and said, "You all heard Director Zhang's call, right? So, are you doing it as Director Zhang said, or as you want?"

The group was speechless, not daring to say a word.

Thus, it was still Liu Zhizhong who divided the fish, indeed giving about half to Zhang Xiaoyang.

However, the portion for Zhang Xiaoyang was all over a pound, but not particularly large. The really big ones, Liu Zhizhong kept for himself and Zhang Qidong.

A policeman said, "Hey, why don't you throw in a few of these big ones for Director Zhang?"

Liu Zhizhong gave him a cold look, "Did Director Zhang say whether he wants big ones or small ones, since when do you get to decide here?"

The policeman's eyes bulged, having nothing to say, feeling like he was punched in the gut, haha...

Liu Zhizhong coldly smiled, "Let's leave it at that, you guys. These fish aren't small, take them back and report. Besides, you could keep a few relatively smaller ones for yourselves to enjoy tonight, haha... By the way, tell those two electric fishers about today's business. Don't row their boat over to my fishing spot again. That's it, see ya, I'm off!"

With that, he packed up the live fish bucket, got on a shared electric scooter, and sped off like he was leaving them far behind.

Leaving those few people there, staring at each other, but they had finally completed their task and could report back.

Just what about the two electric fishers, what to do?

Forget it, better give them a heads-up, just keep them away from this guy's fishing spot and they'll be okay.

Liu Zhizhong handled this whole situation with rhythm, neither too rushed nor too slow, reasonable and measured, never doing anything drastic, nor particularly retreating in submission.

Back home, he still had about seven or eight pounds of large wide-bodied crucian carp, which he then gutted and marinated with some bought spices.

When Saturday arrived, opening the jar of marinated fish, haha... that enticing fresh aroma made Liu Zhizhong almost drool.

It had been years since he'd eaten this kind of fish. Tonight, he'd share it with his teacher, and by the way, discuss some matters with him, haha...
