"I dare not say whether you have other shortcomings, but at least your identity is a shortcoming."
Zhang Xiaofan's expression became very embarrassed: "This..."
"As long as Fang Han spreads your identity, not only will you not be able to secure the position of governor, but you will also be unable to survive in Renzitang." Situ Dao smiled slightly and said deeply: "Of course, the gang rules do not allow for help. Outsiders try to undermine each other, but Fang Han is completely able to make things watertight,"
Zhang Xiaofan reluctantly admitted: "Since you have already talked about this, you shouldn't come to me,"
"Have you ever thought that as long as your shortcomings fall into his hands, he can often use them to blackmail you. At the moment, he is not as open as a lion, but you can guarantee that he will not make any demands that you cannot accept in the future. ,"
"This..." Zhang Xiaofan gritted his teeth and said decisively: "I'd better quit politics so that he can no longer blackmail me."
"Three generations raise a noble," Situ Dao chuckled: "With all due respect, your family moved to Country M very early, and several generations have worked hard to develop into politics. Governor Zhang's achievements today are largely due to The foundation that the family laid back then, could Governor Zhang just abandon it if he said he didn’t want it?”
Hearing these words, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't hold himself any longer and looked a little embarrassed: "This..."
"Also, don't blame me, Situ Dao, for speaking harshly. You, Zhang Xiaofan, may be a powerful figure in the political circles of Country M in the future," Situ Dao drawled his voice and said slowly: "But if you leave the political circles, you will have nothing. Not any more,"
"I understand all these principles," Zhang Xiaofan spread his hands: "But what do you want me to do?"
"Take down Fang Han," after a pause, Situ Dao continued: "In this way, you will not only be able to relieve your worries, but also improve your status in Renzitang. Speaking of which, your development in the political world in recent years, Renzi The hall has not contributed much, but that may not be the case in the future. Renzitang and even the entire Ge Lao Association can make you even more powerful if you have the money and the strength to contribute."
Zhang Xiaofan was moved: "If this can be done, of course it would be better,"
"To be honest, I have already talked with Mr. Ka Hongyi before I met you..." Situ Dao bowed forward, looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said, "Ka Hongyi has agreed to help Ling Cang become the hall master. In exchange, I agree to fully support him as the leader of the hall. If I can add your power, wouldn't it be difficult to bring down Fang Han?"
The relationship between Zhang Xiaofan and Ka Hongyi cannot be said to be good or bad. If it is good, the relationship between the two people is definitely better than their relationship with Fang Han. If it is said to be bad, they have never had any problems with each other. What kind of help? After Cahongyi left England in anger, the two had basically no contact.
In fact, it is not that Ka Hongyi has never thought about teaming up with Zhang Xiaofan to bring down Fang Han. However, as Situ Dao said, Zhang Xiaofan had a shortcoming in Fang Han's hands and did not dare to openly challenge Fang Han. Even Zhang Xiaofan deliberately Keep a distance from Ka Hongyi so as not to arouse Fang Han's alertness.
After hearing Situ Dao's words, Zhang Xiaofan immediately asked, "You decided to let him be the leader of the hall?"
"He is the best candidate," Situ Dao nodded slowly: "Of course, you are also qualified, but your identity is there after all. As a veteran of the Brotherhood, you will not attract attention, but if you do Hall Master, sooner or later people will know about it, so I think as long as you consolidate your status and authority and be able to borrow the power of the Ge Laohui to do things for yourself, that will be enough,"
"You are very thoughtful," Zhang Xiaofan smiled coldly: "You don't need to discuss it with us, you have already planned the future of Ge Lao Hui."
"This design is a win-win for everyone," Situ Dao asked tentatively, "What does Governor Zhang think?"
"The plan is good. I can join forces with Ka Hongyi to bring down Fang Han, and I can stand up and express my attitude at the critical moment. However, you have always avoided the most critical issue..." Zhang Xiaofan looked directly at Situ Dao and spoke word by word. Questioned: "As you said, I can't leave politics, so how should I deal with Fang Han's threat to me?"
"I've already thought about it,"
Zhang Xiaofan immediately said: "Please speak,"
"Governor Zhang, answer me first, if Fang Han can no longer use your identity to blackmail you, then you can stand on the same front as us,"
Zhang Xiaofan nodded without hesitation: "That's right,"
"Then it's no problem," Situ Dao chuckled: "Actually, the solution is very simple. There is a saying in Bashu that you catch shit and get rid of your face."
Situ Dao's words are very simple, but they contain great value.
"Grabbing shit to make a fool of one's face" sounds very tacky, but it is a very effective tactic in certain situations. Sometimes it is difficult for outsiders to understand the meaning of this saying. Zhang Xiaofan himself is a descendant of Bashu, so of course he understands.
This sentence has two meanings. One is to bring irrelevant scandals onto oneself, to ridicule some people who shot oneself in the foot, but at other times, it is a way to whiten oneself. .
For example, a certain person touched the butt of a beautiful woman and was discovered by others. Without waiting for the person to say anything, the person took the initiative and shouted: "What, you said I raped you?" When other people saw it, , this person was polite and well-dressed, and his clothes were neatly dressed. He didn’t look like he had just pulled up his pants. He also didn’t leave any incriminating evidence such as sperm spots or photos or videos, so he didn’t believe it at all, so he mentioned touching his butt again. No one believes in the stock issue.
Zhang Xiaofan was born in the most complicated and darkest place in the world, the officialdom. Situ Dao didn't need to say more, he already understood that as long as he let people go out to spread the news, saying that he was born in the underworld, he would be involved in prostitution, gambling, rape, robbery, murder and arson. , what a bad thing, what a ridiculous thing, if you just put it on yourself, then stand up, give a decent explanation, produce evidence to prove your innocence, and shed a few tears when the time is right, this matter is also It's over.
Political figures are always accompanied by various scandals, financial, male-female relationships, and true and false are mixed together. Even people who are also in the officialdom do not know whether a person's affairs are true or false. , Therefore, the public in country M has become accustomed to it. As long as there is no sufficient evidence, no one will take it seriously.
Even if Fang Han comes up with evidence in the future to prove that he is a member of the Ge Laohui, after this incident has become so fussy, others will not pay too much attention to it and will only think that Fang Han has no creativity.
As for himself, after being "innocently framed", his image may be greatly improved. Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan showed a smile on his face: "Mr. Situ is really an expert. Why didn't I think of it in the past..."
"You're welcome," Situ Dao shook his head slightly: "This idea came from my young master."
"Oh," Zhang Xiaofan stood up and slowly extended his hand to Situ Dao: "Give my regards to your young master,"
"Okay," Situ Dao asked tentatively: "Then what about us..."
Zhang Xiaofan replied without hesitation: "It's a pleasure to cooperate,"
…
"I have met these two people according to your explanation." After Situ Dao returned home, he directly found Ling Cang: "The words are also according to your explanation..."
Ling Cang responded calmly: "Oh,"
Seeing Ling Cang's nonchalant look, Situ Dao felt very strange: "You don't care about the outcome of the discussion,"
"What's there to be concerned about?" Ling Cang shrugged, "It will definitely succeed anyway,"
"You are quite confident,"
"Of course," Ling Cang said, his dull look disappeared, replaced by a sly smile: "I know I will succeed because I have grasped the weaknesses of Ka Hongyi and Zhang Xiaofan. "
"That's right," Situ Dao nodded with emotion: "People are afraid of having weaknesses, but people without weaknesses don't exist."
"Okay, tell me what happened..."
It took Situ Dao a whole morning to say this. By the time Ling Cang understood the whole story, it was already past 12 noon. Ling Cang looked at the time and stood up immediately: "I have to go."
Situ Dao asked casually: "Is something wrong?"
"Yeah..." Ling Cang didn't explain anything and left directly.
In fact, Ling Cang was going to deliver food to Lin Xuening. The matter of the Brother-Lao Association was now in a stalemate. Ling Cang had nothing to do at the moment. He should go back to work, but Ling Cang, like Hong Xue, had already lost his temper and was unwilling to sit down. In class, Lin Xuening fell ill, which made Ling Cang find an excuse for him to continue asking for leave.
So Lingcang handed in another sick note to the school, saying that he accidentally sprained his foot and needed to rest for a while, and then he ran around the campus happily.
Ding Xuehan knew that Ling Cang was pretending to be ill, but if he took Ling Cang back to class, he might not be able to control Ling Cang's heart, so he could only let it go.
But no matter what, Lin Xuening was almost healed under Ling Cang's care. She repeatedly asked her to cook, but Ling Cang insisted on delivering meals three times a day, taking this opportunity to make up for all his past neglect of Lin Xuening.
For today's lunch, Ling Cang planned to order some dishes from Zhang's Kitchen. It was a bit late because he wasted too much time at Situ Dao's place, so Ling Cang was in a hurry. In front of the kitchen door, I suddenly felt a fragrant breeze blowing on my face.
Ling Cang smelled it, and it was the smell of Chanel No. 5. Before he could continue to taste it, Ling Cang accidentally bumped into a woman's breast.
"It's very stiff, very curved, and very elastic..." Ling Cang was commenting in his mind when he raised his head and looked at the other person.
The woman who was hit by Ling Cang took a few steps back, her high heels hitting the ground continuously and making a "tapping" sound. Just when the woman was about to fall, Ling Cang rushed forward a few steps and reached out to hold her waist.
This woman was wearing a dark green dress. Although she did not fall, she lay down in Ling Cang's arms. She pouted and said angrily: "Why don't you look at the road when you walk..."
