"Dad, you are repaying a favor with a grudge. You don't have to thank me, but you can't burn bridges by crossing the river, right?"
"I don't want this to happen. Wang Xiao has gone too far. As long as he has no selfish motives, people with real power such as Tao Tao, Liu Quanbiao and Xielang should be asked to resign and be transferred to other positions. Whenever he does such a move, I will
It's impossible to do anything against him, but he didn't! It's impossible for me to watch you being ignored. It's absolutely impossible to tolerate Xiucheng falling into the hands of others. So I can only do this. I don't have any choice."
"Dad, is there a possibility that Wang Xiao hasn't even thought about this?"
"You were too bewitched by him."
Xu Youzhi shook his head.
"You may really not understand what desire and ambition are. You are still too young. The starting point of your birth is too high. There are some things that you cannot afford to gamble on."
"I can feel all his sincerity towards me. I just use sincerity to exchange for sincerity. I don't believe that he will use Li Xiaoya to control me. I don't believe that he will steal my embroidered city."
Xu Youzhi looked at Xu Xiu's serious look and pondered for a moment.
"Axiu, let me tell you a story, a true story! I have never told anyone about this matter. It has been hidden in my heart for decades!"
"You go ahead and I'm listening."
Xu Youzhi's eyes flickered, and for a moment he seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago.
"I first chose to join the army. Firstly, it was because of my poor academic performance, and secondly, because our family was very poor with no money and power. Moreover, we were so poor that we could hardly afford to eat! That's why I wanted to join the army.
Eat! My only thought at the time was to serve as a soldier smoothly and have a warm and full meal afterward!"
"When I first joined the army, I was always bullied, especially by the veterans. Several times I was bullied to the point of desperation and even thought of committing suicide. At that time, I only had one wish. That is, as long as I am not bullied,
I will be satisfied if I no longer suffer."
"Perhaps God has mercy on me, just when I can't hold on anymore! Our company has a new company commander. And I happen to be a fellow countryman, and we even met once! After learning more about me,
He started to help me and take care of me. It can be said that I was able to survive from the boot camp all because of his help!"
"With his help, I gained a firm foothold in the recruit camp. No one dared to bully me. At that time, my biggest wish was to become a squad leader. Because becoming a squad leader would save me a lot of work.
I suffered a lot less. With the help of the company commander, I not only became a squad leader, but also a platoon leader very quickly."
"When I first became a platoon leader, I was still very excited and satisfied. But as time went by, I saw more and experienced more. I thought, what if I could also be a company commander?
Later, my old company commander became the battalion commander, and he strongly recommended and helped me, which made me truly become the company commander."
"I remember that I was very happy and drunk. I swear, when I became the company commander, I felt that my life was complete. But just like before, not long after I became the company commander, I entered
I walked into the company commander's circle, and then looked at the battalion commander and brigade commander. I thought, why should I be the company commander, so they can be the battalion commander and brigade commander. How much power do they have!"
"From that time on, my ambition began to expand. Why did it expand? Because I could only see one before, so I thought one was good. But when I reached one, I could see two, and I felt
Two was good. After reaching two, I saw three. I wanted to go to three again. My ambitions and desires began to expand rapidly with the expansion of my horizons and the general situation at that time!"
"I met the then deputy division commander through the old company commander's relationship circle. I became friends with the deputy division commander privately and worked very hard myself. Later, I was finally promoted to the same level as the old company commander. Within two years after that, we
Both met a great opportunity."
"This promotion is considered a hurdle in the army. Once you pass it, you will have a bright future. If you can't pass it, your life will be over! We both want that position. According to common sense, I should give up this position to the old man.
The company commander, after all, he trained me and helped me. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am now!”
"I really wanted to give up at that time. I also thought of countless reasons to convince myself to give up!"
When Xu Youzhi said this, he fell into silence, and his eye circles were slightly moist.
With a hint of remorse.
Xu Xiu is a smart man.
"You haven't given up?"
"Not only did I not give up, I also took advantage of his trust in me and used a shameful trick to step on him, so to speak. I stepped on his head to get through this hurdle.
It is precisely because of this that I and the army were able to rise to great heights, become a blockbuster, and dominate the government!"
"When I became the commander-in-chief of an army, I felt that my life had reached its peak. I should be satisfied. But I met another opportunity. So I once again resolutely stepped on the city lord who had helped me a lot.
, I became the lord of the city. That’s why the Xu family in Xiucheng came into being, and that’s why we are where we are now.”
"Throughout my years, Xu Youzhi, I first wanted to make a living, as long as I could have enough to eat. But in the end, I did a lot of immoral things and became the city lord! I have spent my life summarizing it.
A lesson learned.”
"Human desire can never be satisfied!"
Xu Youzhi laughed with shame.
"What do you mean by desire?"
"To put it bluntly, desire is something a person wants. This kind of thing may be spiritual or material. Everyone's life has different stages. What everyone wants at each stage
Things are also different. Sometimes it’s not about things you think or don’t want, but things that really get to that point and you can’t control your desires at all! I’m the best example. You know?”
"Even if he didn't have the idea of stepping on you before, he may not have it now! Even if he doesn't have it now, as he develops in the future, he may not have it! If it really reaches a certain point in the end, then even if he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to,
I have to step on you! Just like I did before!"
"I don't want to see you being stepped on, and I don't want to see everything in our Xu family burned down. You have grown up now, and your ideas are so right. I have no way to convince you, and if I discuss it with you, you may still
Responding in advance is against me! So I can only deal with it myself."
"Many things are clear to the eyes of the beholder. Wang Xiao's attitude when he orders you is just like ordering his subordinate Ma Zai. I don't like it very much! Has he forgotten everything that happened when he was chased and had no choice but to come to Xiucheng?"
"So you don't consider my feelings at all, right?"
"I actually take care of your feelings. The one who really doesn't take care of your feelings is Wang Xiao."
"I have gone through so much trouble this time and gone through so many circles. To put it bluntly, I am actually trying to teach Wang Xiao. If he is smart and sensible enough, he will react soon and take the initiative to ask Tao Tao and others to resign and let go of their hands.
All rights. But he doesn't."
"I am also trying to teach Li Xiaoya to let her know that our Xu family is not fools. She should take away her little cleverness!"
"I didn't expect it, but I waited for your questioning first. Ah Xiu, you shouldn't have suspected me. You shouldn't have come to me and questioned me!"
"I am your father, and the Xu family's empire is all given to you by me. How could I harm you? Why can't you think about it carefully before doing it again? If it was really me who did it, why would I do this? You
Can such a smart person not understand this? If you and Wang Xiao kiss again, will you be able to kiss our father-in-law?"
"Dad, in this life, there must be one or two people who can be completely trusted, right?"
"Ordinary people can have it, but you can't have it!"
"Our views have always been at odds. I don't want to comment on your behavior anymore, and I hope you won't interfere with mine. I, Xu Xiu, am not a fool. I have my own eyes and my own thinking. I know
What should be done and what should not be done! So, I hope you will stop completely from now on and stop interfering in my affairs. I will lead Xiucheng well, and lead it very well. Now is an example!"
"Xiucheng belongs to our Xu family, you can't help others take care of it!"
