So Zhang Lin couldn't help it.
He looked at Zhang Zhiming with an expression that he was hesitant to speak.
Although Zhang Lin knew that Zhang Zhiming must have his own plans, but... many times, how can he take advantage
With the current situation of the Zhang family, even if they suffer a small loss, they must seize this opportunity.
Otherwise, if we delay for a while, the aristocratic families who are looking forward to swallowing up the Zhang family will react and rush forward, and the Zhang family will only be left with a share.
If you want to take advantage, many times you will only end up at a loss.
Sensing Zhang Lin's look, Zhang Zhiming hesitated for a moment, and then said: "What you said does make sense, but... many things may not necessarily have the best results."
Zhang Zhiming seemed to have found his own rhythm and said slowly: "What Mr. Lu is best at is overturning the chessboard and making everyone's plans fail. Such courage may be the key to your ability to lead the Yan Palace to fight a bloody road." . In this case, Manager Lu should know that courage is not unique to you."
"It is said that the ignorant are fearless, but in my opinion, it is precisely because you know enough that you are fearless. Now the Yan Palace needs to find a breakthrough from the aristocratic family. In other words, now you need to The Zhang family, not the Zhang family, needs you."
"The person who overturns the chess game becomes a chess player, and maybe his mentality will change. What do you think, Mr. Lu?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiming's expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he was waiting for Lu Li's reply, more like he was expecting Lu Li to give him an answer that would surprise him.
Lu Li narrowed his eyes and did not deny Zhang Zhiming's words.
In fact, there is nothing to deny.
What Zhang Zhiming is telling now is the truth. Compared with the Zhang family's need for the Yan Palace, the Yan Palace obviously needs the Zhang family to open up the situation and break the current deadlock.
If Zhang Zhiming knew this and went against him instead, even if he slaughtered the entire Zhang family, it would not be helpful to the situation. On the contrary, it would unite the currently scattered aristocratic family.
The series of subsequent reactions were not what Lu Li wanted to see, and they were also something he could not afford.
So, after Lu Li thought for a moment, he softened his tone and said word by word: "Since Second Young Master Zhang thinks he has the courage to break the situation, why not show it to me?"
Zhang Zhiming was slightly startled, then said: "Are you irritating me?"
"of course not."
Lu Li smiled and said, "Because Second Young Master Zhang reminded me, I, Lu Li, have been able to get to where I am today just because I am not afraid and have never retreated. In the past, I stepped from being a chess piece to where I am today. I have smashed countless chessboards and defeated countless people." My plan failed, and I changed my position and even my thoughts. This was not my original intention, nor was it the result I expected."
Zhang Zhiming's face changed slightly and he held his palm.
Although he didn't use any force, it revealed the unrest deep inside him.
What he had shown previously was his determination to defeat everything, proving that he did not lack the courage to break everything and make Lu Li's plan fail. But now Lu Li has thrown this choice back, which makes it a little difficult for him.
Zhang Zhiming couldn't confirm whether Lu Li was just pretending or if he was really confident, but he knew one thing clearly: he didn't have the guts to drag the entire Zhang family to death.
The Zhang family continues to this day and carries a lot of things, and Zhang Zhiming himself obviously also hides some secrets.
This secret may or may not have something to do with the Zhang family, but what Lu Li can definitely confirm is that Zhang Zhiming is not willing to let the Zhang family be destroyed like this.
This is the premise of everything.
If Zhang Zhiming could really make up his mind, he could choose to protect himself wisely and ignore anything about the Zhang family.
Today's meeting will simply not exist.
Since he has chosen to show up, he has an agenda.
"Mr. Lu is really amazing." Zhang Zhiming's face was uncertain for a while, and finally he said as if he was relieved: "When I saw him today, he is really extraordinary. Maybe you are right, I don't have the courage to break everything."
"However, if you want the Zhang family to surrender, Manager Lu must show enough sincerity. Let's not talk about anything else, but only interests and benefits. What benefits can Manager Lu give to the Zhang family?"
The topic changed for a long time, and finally it came back here.
Lu Li showed a smile, "Second Young Master Zhang has been honest with you, and I won't show off. Whatever the Zhang family lacks most now, I will give it to you."
"oh?"
Zhang Zhiming was playful: "What if I said that the Zhang family lacks everything now?"
He tapped his fingers on the table and said casually as if chatting with old friends: "With the loss of Zhang Juan, the Zhang family's current status has plummeted, but if we really talk about it, the Zhang family actually lacks nothing. Even if they have lost a lot of property, , the resources and wealth of the Zhang family can be ranked in the top ten of the Yanzhou family. Although there is no powerful enough grandmaster, the Zhang family is not without trump cards. Moreover, although the allies of the Zhang family are profit-seeking people, as long as they are I, Zhang Zhiming, am still here, and with these three words, there are still people willing to bet on the future of the Zhang family."
"A vote to Prince Yan's Mansion is an investment, and a vote to the Zhang family is also an investment. Manager Lu thinks, but is this true?"
"The truth is correct, but Second Young Master Zhang still takes it for granted."
Lu Li said calmly: "Even if Second Young Master Zhang's name deserves the respect of those aristocratic families, you have no cultivation level after all. Rather than accepting their help and risking being harvested in the end, why didn't Second Young Master Zhang choose to cooperate with Prince Yan's Mansion? ?”
"and."
At this point, Lu Li paused slightly and said with a smile: "If I say that I can allow Second Young Master Zhang to start practicing again and become the martial arts genius he was back then, what do you think of this benefit?"
Zhang Zhiming was startled when he heard this, but then he smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lu, please stop making fun of me. I am already a useless person. I know this very well."
Perhaps he had already looked away, but Zhang Zhiming's tone did not waver, and there was no disappointment in his eyes, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.
However, only he himself can know what he is thinking.
But Lu Li definitely didn't believe that Zhang Zhiming could be so free and easy.
Even a mature character like the Marquis will inevitably be tempted when faced with the temptation to embark on the path of martial arts again after the ups and downs. No matter how talented Zhang Zhiming is, he can never be more open-minded than the Marquis.
"There are some things that I say without any proof, but now it's impossible for me to show Mr. Zhang my trump card."
Lu Li rubbed his fingers, then stood up and said with a smile: "Before we formally cooperate, I can provide some deposits. For example... the lives of some people."
Zhang Zhiming looked at Lu Li, "What does Mr. Lu mean by this?"
"Second Young Master Zhang, there is no need to ask questions knowingly."
Lu Li looked at Zhang Lin who didn't dare to speak, and said with a smile: "Now that the Zhang family can't give me an explanation, I need someone else to give me an explanation."
"Someone assassinated me in the street, and they used a master. Of course, the Zhang family can't be the only one behind this. The current Zhang family can't afford the appearance fee for a strong man like Cheng Yu. So I need another name, for example... Kill After a few strong men, can the Zhang family swallow them all in one go?"
Zhang Zhiming's eyebrows twitched, feeling that Lu Li was really cruel.
After he went to the Zhang family and made a big fuss, the people he really wanted to kill were those who conspired with the Zhang family.
But what I have to say is that Lu Li's proposal really made Zhang Zhiming a little tempted.
Now the Zhang family has become a piece of fat in the eyes of others, just waiting for the right time to swallow it in one bite. Regarding this situation, Zhang Zhiming actually had a headache. Apart from trying to maintain it, he had no other solution.
However, if Lu Li is willing to help, he only needs to kill a few strong men to break the current balance. The Zhang family can take this opportunity to take a breather, and maybe even go further.
"I advise you not to have those ideas. Even if the Yan Palace takes action, it will not be done blatantly. There is a high probability that it will use the name of the Zhang family. As for how to swallow up those forces in the future, it is Mr. Zhang's own business."
Unfortunately, Lu Li saw through Zhang Zhiming's thoughts at a glance and cut him off.
You can take action, but Prince Yan's Mansion will not take the blame.
The Zhang family still has to take the blame.
After all, they still get the benefit. Of course, they have to take the blame for this level of responsibility!
