Chapter 18: The Philosophy of Being of the Mediocrity

Zhao Hongxue's cave is simple and generous. In a pure white space, there is a small wooden house standing alone, with a big tree planted in front and behind...

Before the visitors had time to enjoy the scenery here, Zhao Hongxue expressed his opinions straight to the point.

"If you are here to bring rescues for Zhao Chenlu, then give up as soon as possible. This matter is irreversible. Please wait for the result of the public trial meeting with peace of mind."

After saying that, Zhao Hongxue sighed first and sat on the ground under the shade of the tree: "I'm not trying to vain you, but it's the truth. You may think that Zhao Chenlu has ruled Jinyu City for so many years, and she should have many supporters, but she has not come forward to support her for a while, but in fact this is just an illusion. Although she has many supporters, she only gathers in the middle and lower levels. The upper class who really has the ability to influence the situation has gritted her teeth over the years."

"You all know how she got to power back then. The process is much ugly than today's coup. We old guys were trampled by her head. It was not just me who became laughing stock, but the entire Jinyu City's top leaders at that time." Zhao Hongxue said, reaching out to take out a stack of newspapers from the storage bag, "Look, I still have newspapers and magazines in other cities back then. The words on them are very spicy. If you are interested, you can read them by yourself. I won't think of them all.

In other words, our Jinyu City has maintained a thousand years of inheritance tradition and was crushed by her teenage girl. From that moment on, she was destined to stand opposite to all the senior management... I don't know if you young people can understand this when I say this, but in short, the conclusion is that Zhao Chenlu is not popular among the Jinyu's senior management. Even though she keeps making money from all the annuity ideas, everyone still hates her. Of course, half of this kind of thing is her own problem."

When Zhao Hongxue said this, Shen Qingming could no longer help but speak out for justice: "Her problem? Let everyone in Jinyucheng, including those who hate her, make money together, become a problem? Do you have to kill you all?"

Zhao Hongxue laughed: "If she really does that, it may be a good thing. At least it proves that she is serious in the position of Lord Jinyu City, rather than treating everything as an indifferent game. She has made great contributions in the years since she took charge of Jinyu City. No matter how many people hate her, they must admit it. But even so, her close friends are still pitifully few. Why do you think? People in Jinyu City are all selfish and selfish? Or is it that she, the number one beauty in the world, is particularly unpopular?"

"Actually, the answer is very simple." Zhao Hongxue did not really wait for the other party to answer, and announced the answer herself, "Because the confidant needs to be cultivated, not fall from the sky, the plot of the tiger body shaking and bowing my head and bowing me will never happen in reality. No matter how fertile the land is, at least the farmers need to sow crops before they can grow. But she never willing to spend even a little energy to cultivate her confidant. When she was the city lord, countless people tried to rely on her, the head of the immortal cultivation sect, the head of the big trading company... Zhao Chenlu broke the old pattern, which means that all the original interests and privileges of Jinyu City can be redistributed. This is a huge piece of fat meat.

I don't know how many people are eyeing this. If she can seize this opportunity, she can sweep all the old guys who are unsatisfied into the garbage dump and then install people who are loyal to her. With her means of sweeping the old guys, Jinyu City can be built like an iron barrel in less than three to five years. However, she did nothing, and turned away all the people who came to her, then defeated all the old guys to the ground, let them go, and sat down as the enemies of that year slowly got up to lick their wounds and accumulate strength, waiting for them to attack like a cat playing with a mouse. So, on the one hand, she raised a tiger to the disaster, and on the other hand, she failed a large number of people who had high hopes for her."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongxue looked at Chen Qingming, Li Chaolu and other girls and said, "You are all young girls. You should be able to experience the feeling of falling flowers and flowing water as if they are ruthless. One year or two years is resentment, three or five years is entangled, and ten or eight years is unforgettable hatred."

A few girls were so scared.

Zhao Hongxue sighed: "There are many supporters of Jinyu City that were opposed to her now more intensely than Zhao Hongwu and others, and this is all her own fault. Only the middle and lower-level people like her in the entire Jinyu City, because they have indeed received her benefits and have not experienced much trouble. In the middle and high-level leaders, almost no one is interested in her rule, so you don't have to expect me to rise up and call on everyone to support her. It's useless. She actually asked you to find me here, which shows that there is no one available. Humph, I stomped on me like garbage back then, and now I'm the first to think of me when I encounter problems..."

"Strictly speaking, you are just a suboptimal solution. Zhao Jincheng, who has the best solution, was taken away." Wang Jiu corrected.

"...You can be so meticulous without explanation!"

"In short, it is better for someone to call him than for no one to call him." Wang Jiu said, "If a person is not strong enough, then use two or three people. Even if her personal prestige is not enough to attract supporters, your prestige as the former city lord will definitely affect many people."

"That's right." Zhao Hongxue scratched her head, "Indeed, if I, the former city lord, stood firmly on Zhao Chenlu's side, there would definitely be many people in Jinyu City who would speculate whether Zhao Chenlu had promised any benefits to her supporters. But in fact, Zhao Chenlu had never promised anything to anyone, so why should I use my own reputation to guarantee her?"

Wang Jiu nodded: "This is indeed a problem."

"This is not a problem at all, okay!" Chen Qingming retorted, "She is your daughter!"

"Stop!" Zhao Hongxue's face darkened, "She has never been my daughter, and I am not qualified to be her father. She just happened to be born from my wife's belly, and there is no more to do with us."

This cold and decisive speech really made Chen Qingming feel a little disappointed: "...even if she did things a little too much back then, there is no need for you to say such heartless words, right?"

Zhao Hongxue said: "She said this."

"……ah?"

"As early as thirty years ago, she said to me arrogantly that she is not my daughter at all, because I am not qualified to be her father. With my mean talent, even if I transform into the King of Xiangzhou, even if I sow a thousand times and ten thousand times, I would never have the only daughter like her." Zhao Hongxue looked at Chen Qingming and others in a stunned manner, and then curled her lips, "This is all her original words."

The girl recalled the other party's words and deeds since she met Zhao Chenlu, and she had to admit that it was indeed something she could say.

"But she was just a child at that time, and she was young and Wuji, why bother with her?"

Zhao Hongxue said: "Yes, I thought so at that time. Chen Lu was just a child. He was young and ignorant. He knew what genetic mutations, genetics from generation to generation, and the old king next door, and the worldly truths such as miracles. I am indeed a mean talent in the Jinyu Zhao family, but after all, I am flowing with noble and pure blood from the immortal cultivator. As long as I work hard enough, I will definitely give birth to a child that is no less than Zhao Chenlu. Even if I can't reach her level, it's always okay to give birth to a world-class talent, right?"

Chen Qingming said in a daze: "It sounds reasonable, then what?"

Zhao Hongxue said: "Then, I have that child in Jincheng..."

Hearing this, Chen Qingming suddenly felt an urge to shed tears.

"You, you have worked hard."

Zhao Hongxue nodded: "So many years have passed. Time is really the best healing medicine. Now when I think of those years, I can laugh it off. So, you might as well go back to Qingyun City to live your happy life. Looking back in a few decades, today's coup in Jinyu City is actually just like this."

After saying that, Zhao Hongxue stood up and stretched: "I'll take you to the door."

"Wait!" Chen Qingming interrupted in time, "The dialogue is not over yet!"

Zhao Hongxue said, "It's almost done. I've explained so much to you with kindness and kindness, which is enough to repay the gambling debt. Do you still have to force me to stand up for Zhao Chen? That child is cold-hearted and does not remember my benefits. I won't do such stupid things. I just lost a game and did not lose my entire life!"

Hearing this, Wang Jiu raised his head and said, "So, do you want to bet on a life game? You will choose the specific project, and the loser will lose your life."

When Zhao Hongxue heard this, her body shook and her eyes slowly turned to Wang Jiu: "You want to bet on life with me?"

Wang Jiu said: "If I win, you will stand up for Zhao Chenlu. If you win, I will let you drive him."

Before he finished speaking, the girls beside him were already exclaiming.

"Ajiu, don't make such a joke!"

"This is too big a bet!?"

Wang Jiu didn't care about these noises, but just waited for the other party's answer seriously.

Zhao Hongxue narrowed her eyes slightly: "For me to drive you... Although I have not read your detailed information, I think you are not an ordinary person. It is a miracle to let Zhao Chenlu ask for help when she is in trouble. If you can get help from someone like you, the benefits will be unimaginable."

"So, do you want to bet?"

"Haha, isn't this nonsense? Of course not! You just won me once with such a curious technique. How stupid am I to be able to get hit in a row and lose my life!
