"The key is whether you like him." Jiang Mingxian saw his sister's reaction in his eyes and already understood. It's hard to say whether Jiang Wenxuan likes Ling Cang. But he definitely means something to Ling Cang: "I won't do it for the sake of alliance. To throw you away."
"This..." Jiang Wenxuan was stunned. She didn't know what to say. However, she began to face her heart. How did she view Ling Cang? She called Ling Cang to her study today. It seemed to be an expectation. Something happened. When Ling Cang did those things, he didn't feel angry. He was even slightly excited. It seemed to mean something.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore..." Jiang Mingxian stopped. He waved his hand and said: "Anyway, you and Ling Cang are both young. There is still a long way to go. What can you develop into? You can just let nature take its course. No need. What are you forcing?"
"Yeah. It's better not to say it..." Jiang Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why. The topic raised by Jiang Mingxian made her feel very nervous. This was the first time in so many years that she felt so tired from chatting with her brother. Jiang Mingxian was very arrogant to her. She had almost nothing to say in the past. She could not say anything in front of Jiang Mingxian.
"By the way. You haven't eaten yet. Let's go to the restaurant together."
"Okay." Jiang Wenxuan nodded: "By the way. Brother, how about Century Group."
"Very good." Jiang Mingxian felt very tired. As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just urgent. It must be dealt with immediately."
"oh."
"The thermonuclear reaction test is progressing very smoothly. It is estimated that it will not be long before it can be officially put into production." Mentioning this, Jiang Mingxian's expression was slightly excited: "This means that we will have extremely objective benefits. It also means that there will be more and more benefits in the future. The more work.”
The two were talking. Cao Bingqi came back, jumping up and down. She was very happy.
"Pudding, you're back..." Jiang Mingxian glanced at his daughter and asked, "How is Lin Xuening?"
Cao Bingqi laughed a few times and replied: "Okay. It's pretty good. It's no big deal."
"Then you won't be so happy, right?"
"I'm happy because Ling Cang praised me. This is the first time he has praised me."
"Oh." Jiang Mingxian and Jiang Wenxuan looked at each other and asked in unison: "What did he praise you for?"
"He praised me for growing up. He dared to nag me about anything."
…
While Ling Cang was dealing with several women, Situ Dao flew non-stop from London to Oregon on the west coast of Country M.
Among the various states in Country M, most Chinese people know about California and the like, but little about Oregon. In fact, Oregon is quite important in Country M. Not only does it have a large population, but it is also an important vote base that all parties must compete for in every election. Moreover, the economic development is quite good. It is only inferior to several major economic cities such as New York.
Zhang Xiaofan, the boss of Ge Lao Hui Ren Zi Tang, is the governor of this state.
Speaking of which, the Chinese in politics have never been able to do without the support of the Chinese community. However, the number of Chinese in Oregon is very small, almost negligible. However, Zhang Xiaofan was able to become the governor here. This shows that he is not only capable, but also very popular in M country. Have a foundation.
The difference from Ka Hongyi was that Situ Dao knew Zhang Xiaofan and had some contacts with him. But Zhang Xiaofan was a political figure after all and had a schedule every day. Unlike Ka Hongyi, he could receive guests at any time.
Situ Dao stayed in Salem City, the state capital, for a whole day. Zhang Xiaofan finally took time to meet him.
"Hello, Mr. Situ..." Situ Dao had just entered the office. Zhang Xiaofan immediately came to greet him and warmly extended his hand: "I'm sorry. We are facing the mid-term elections recently. I am really too busy. I can only let you Sorry for the long wait. So sorry..."
Situ Dao shook hands with Zhang Xiaofan and said calmly: "We are already so familiar. There is no need to be so polite."
"Mr. Situ has a lot. I hope you won't be offended..." Zhang Xiaofan could tell that Situ Dao was a little unhappy. As the CEO of Chenyang International, others have always waited for Situ Dao. How had Situ Dao ever waited for others?
"Mr. Governor, if you say this, you are out of touch."
"Thank you Mr. Situ for your understanding."
"By the way..." Situ Dao looked around and asked meaningfully: "Is it convenient to talk here?"
"Convenient." Zhang Xiaofan nodded immediately: "This is a confidential office. Security checks are done every day. There is absolutely no eavesdropping equipment. That's why I invited Mr. Situ here."
The politics of country M are very clean. There is not so much corruption, and there are not so many officials. But on the other hand, it is very dark. Political opponents often use all means to attack each other. As long as there are some famous politicians in the office There are basically bugs in every house, let alone a governor like Zhang Xiaofan who is from a minority. Situ Dao felt relieved when he heard this. He nodded slightly: "That's good."
"No matter what words come out of your mouth or enter my ears, no third person will know." When Zhang Xiaofan heard this question, he thought about Situ Dao waiting patiently for a whole day. He immediately realized something: "Mr. Situ Something happened."
A blonde female secretary brought coffee in. Situ Dao followed the female secretary out with his eyes. Then he got up and locked the door of the office. Then he sat back and said, "There is indeed something."
I don't know why. Looking at Situ Dao's eyes, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly became nervous: "Mr. Situ, since we are so familiar, you might as well say it if you have anything to say."
"Then I'll tell you..." Situ Dao smiled slightly: "Mr. Governor, although you are a native of M country, when you speak Chinese, you still have a strong Bashu flavor."
"I am a descendant of the Bashu people..." Zhang Xiaofan didn't understand what this meant. He thought about it and said, "What's more, I grew up in the Bashu community in country M. Naturally, I can't forget my roots."
"Speaking of Bashu, there are really outstanding people. The people of Bashu can do well no matter what they do..." Situ Dao nodded slightly. Situ Dao said slowly: "I read a few idle books a few days ago. They said they were from China. One of the largest gang organizations in history is the Ge Lao Hui of Bashu descendants."
Zhang Xiaofan's expression was very calm, as if this topic had nothing to do with him: "I don't know what you want to explain by mentioning this."
"Can't we just chat?"
"I have a hunch that Mr. Situ is not here just for chatting."
"Indeed not." Situ Dao chuckled. Suddenly he made a fist with his right hand and placed it in the center of his chest. His thumb stretched upwards and his little finger pointed downwards. Then he slowly stretched out his index finger: "Drive out the Tartars and keep the Han." .”
Zhang Xiaofan was startled for a moment. After a moment, he made the same gesture with trembling hands: "If you enter Hongmen, we will be brothers forever."
"Contemporary countries in North America and Europe have very strict background checks on immigrants. Once found to be guilty of illegal activities, they will not stay. Corrupt officials can go to these countries to avoid trouble. But it is very difficult for gangsters to want to go," Situ Dao said. .Slowly shook his head: "Although Governor Zhang is a descendant of the older generation of immigrants, he is now a well-known political figure. He is known as a rising star in the political circles of Country M. If voters know about it, Governor Zhang Not only was he born in the underworld, he is still holding an important position in the underworld. I really don’t know what will happen.”
After all, Zhang Xiaofan has seen a lot of storms. Hearing these words, his face remained calm: "Mr. Situ came all the way to see me just to threaten me. I don't know what benefit this will bring to Mr. Situ."
"It's no good. So I'm not here to threaten you." Situ Dao shook his head again: "If I wanted to threaten you, I wouldn't cut it with you."
"Could it be that..." Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath: "Mr. Situ is also a member of the Ge Laohui or the Hongmen."
"No." After taking a sip of coffee, Situ Dao said leisurely: "Let me put it aside. I am not only the CEO of Chenyang International. I am also one of the Delta giants. With the status of Governor Zhang. There’s no way you don’t know what’s going on with Delta.”
"Of course I know." Zhang Xiaofan gasped and looked at Situ Dao carefully.
One person is a business elite and the other is a political elite. Both of them have extensive connections and get to know each other. In the past, the relationship between the two was no different from that of most ordinary friends. They had no idea that there was another layer to the other. Identity. It was only then that Situ Dao broke the news.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense. Neither of them spoke. Instead, they were each thinking about their own concerns.
I don't know how long it took before Zhang Xiaofan broke the silence: "Since you are not a member of the same group, how do you know about the Hongmen incision?"
"That's it..." Situ Dao put down his coffee cup and said solemnly: "The son of Delta's trustee, who is also Delta's future successor, is vying for the position of the leader of the Lizi Hall..."
Situ Dao briefly explained what happened to Ling Cang. After listening to this, Zhang Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, with such a relationship, it is difficult to say whether Situ Dao is a friend, but he is definitely not an enemy: "You want to Let me support Ling Cang."
"right."
"Mr. Situ should know. Both Ka Hongyi and I have been excluded from the core of power of Renzitang. The only difference is that Ka Hongyi no longer has the right to interfere in the affairs of the hall. I at least still have such a false name. Although Fang Han has never been wrong What can I say? But I still know a little bit about his plans and things..." After a pause, Zhang Xiaofan said word by word: "To put it simply, I don't support him, but I won't support him either. Ling Cang will be the hall master."
"Why." Without waiting for Zhang Xiaofan to answer, Situ Dao had already found the answer: "Because you are afraid of Fang Han. You don't want to fall out with Fang Han. The reason why you are like this is because Fang Han is holding your shorts..."
Zhang Xiaofan smiled uncomfortably: "How can I have any shortcomings in his hands..."
