When Abu and I came to the reception hall, Lin Xue was drinking tea elegantly. I was stunned, why did Lin Xue come here?
When Lin Xue saw me coming, she smiled and said, "Xiao Bo, long time no see." The smile was still so sweet and intoxicating. In an instant, the haze that had been weighing on my heart for the past few days was swept away.
I would also smile heartily and say: "It's been a long time indeed, why are you here?".
Lin Xue pretended to be disappointed with a sly smile and said, "Why can't I come? Why don't I come to see my friends? Or have you forgotten me as a friend?"
I knew she did it on purpose, so I said jokingly: "Haha, okay. I'm glad you came to see me. I didn't expect you to come all the way to a poor place like mine."
She followed my words and said: "Okay, you are still poor. Now you are the new owner here. If you were still poor, there would be no rich people in the world. Who doesn't know that this is a place of huge profits."
Unexpectedly, the news came so quickly, and even she knew about it. Before I could think about it, she changed her tone and said seriously: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I came here first to see you, and secondly to ask for something."
You". I knew there must be something wrong with her.
She looked at me seriously and said, "Xiao Bo. You are in trouble now!"
I asked strangely: "What trouble did I get into? Although I am in some trouble now, I am basically stable. What's wrong?" After saying that, I looked at her in confusion.
She took a deep look at me and then said: "You are really isolated from the outside world. Don't you know that there is a lot of commotion about you in the outside world now? It's just because of your superiority that you have stirred up trouble."
I really didn’t know this. I thought some relevant people would cause me trouble, but I didn’t expect that there would be such things. I waited for her to continue.
She continued: "Because of your sudden rise to power as a newcomer, many people not only in Southeast Asia, the United States, and even Europe want to interfere."
"I begged my dad. He came forward and said that no gangs can bully you now. Give you half a year to grow up. If you don't have a firm footing and lay a foundation after half a year, there will be many gangs coming.
I'm looking for you, and my dad won't be able to interfere anymore." After saying that, Lin Xue looked at me.
When I heard her words, my mind turned upside down. I asked why, except for the government who had caused trouble a few times, there was no movement from other gangs. At first, I naively thought that this place was too far away from the civilized world and others didn't want to interfere.
.
It turns out that all this happened because Lin Xue begged his father, the contemporary head of Hongmen, to come forward to guarantee my stable growth for half a year.
I was really shocked. I didn’t know what to say to Lin Xue. This girl I had just met once actually begged his father to come forward for me.
Just as she was about to say thank you to Lin Xue, Lin Xue waved her hand and said first: "Don't say thank you to me. I said we are friends, right? You don't need to be so polite when you help a friend!" I thanked him again and again.
Swallowed it.
I also knew that thank you could not express anything, so I remembered her kindness in my heart. I hope I can repay it when I have the opportunity in the future. I sat down and said, "Okay, I won't say thank you anymore. I will remember that I owe you a favor."
Really." After saying that, I looked at her very seriously.
She glanced at my serious face and relaxed, then burst out laughing and said: "Okay, okay. Don't be so serious. If you really want to pay me back, you can't delay it when I really need your help in the future."
I patted my chest and said, "Of course, as long as you ask, I will definitely help."
After saying that, we both couldn't help but look at each other and smile. Lin Xue continued: "Okay, let's get down to business. What are you going to do next? To be honest, no matter how much money you make now, you can't
Enter the circles of high society."
After a pause, he continued: "In other words, you are at best a rich tycoon now!"
Rich? Lin Xue's words almost made me laugh again. This was the first time someone said that I was rich. But I also know that what she said is true. Now, no matter how much money I have, I still have not set foot in the civilized world.
stage and did not enter their so-called "circle".
I calmed down and wanted to laugh, because this incident was not ridiculous. I said to Lin Xue: "Actually, I know that I am still far away from their circle now, and my plan is to step on this stage no matter what.
!”
Since you can't hide, then work hard to grow yourself. There are some things that once you embark on this path, you can never look back. You will either go further and be more glorious. Or you will fall and die!
Lin Xue looked at me and said seriously again: "Xiao Bo, are you really sure you want to take this path? If you don't want to do this, you can follow me to the United States. I can let my dad arrange your life.
Two years and then you can return to your country."
When I returned to China, hearing her words made my thoughts fly back to the past. But I immediately controlled my emotions. I am no longer the same person now. Now that I have the opportunity, I don’t want to be the same as before. I have to become stronger, otherwise I will return to China.
So what?
I have no strength and no status. I can’t even protect the people around me, so what’s the use.
I said to her firmly: "I have decided to give it a try!"
Seeing my resolute attitude, she sighed and said: "Okay, I know that's the case. Then be careful, because I can't help you, and my dad can only guarantee you half a year to grow up. If you want to log in for the rest,
You can only get on the stage of the civilized world by yourself."
"Well, thank you dad for me. You have helped me a lot. If I am still alive, I will definitely repay you if I have the chance!" I said.
Lin Xue stood up and said, "I'm leaving, take care of yourself!" I still wanted to persuade her to stay, but she said she had other things to do in Thailand, so there was no need to persuade her to stay.
Before leaving, he gave me a hug and said softly in my ear: "Be careful in everything. I look forward to you stepping on this stage and becoming a dazzling new star, my friend!"
After saying that, he let go and left me with the same smile as before, turned around and left.
Lin Xue left and came to bring me such amazing news and great pressure.
I began to rethink this matter and sat silently in the meeting hall. Abu and the others also sat silently waiting for my decision on how we should proceed next.
After thinking about it for a long time, I came up with some ideas. The United States and Europe are too far away from me. I don’t have the ability and strength to go back in my country right now. Maybe it will still be the same as before.
The last idea has been decided, Thailand! Yes, let’s enter from here, Old Nick, I’ll start with you and let me enter this stage!
Now I'm riding a tiger and can't help myself. If I want to play, just come with a big ticket and let Old Nick be the first step in my rise. This is what I plan in my mind.
After I told Abu and the others my thoughts, they had no objections, but we still need to discuss this matter in the long term. Now what I, a rich man, have to do is how to put my feet on Thailand and then stand firm. Then I can have the opportunity to leave.
Get on this stage.
So what we have to do is how to get out of this place that is isolated from civilization. I know this is the first step. It is also a very difficult step. If we succeed, we will have a chance to get out. If we fail, we will not even have a chance to come back.
All that awaits is death.
Old Nick is a very big lion, and now I can be regarded as a weak poultry at best. If I can't defeat this lion with one blow, I will never be able to withstand the anger of his counterattack.
And I not only have to face Old Nick, the controller of order underneath, but also the controller of order on the surface. No matter where I am doing anything, it is like this. It is difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold.
I thought of Claire, the old spy. Now is the time when we need a lot of news and intelligence. I invited Claire and asked him to help me find out all the black and white situations on the Thai border. And there may be more.
A lot of information needs his help.
Claire knew what I meant, and he made a condition to me. He asked me to give him a large sum of money. This condition surprised me a little. When I heard his answer, I didn't know whether to be angry or sad.
This is what he said to me: "Don't be surprised by my request. Although I didn't care about money before. But to be honest, I am not too optimistic about your big plan this time. I want money because if you fail
, this place will definitely change hands. I can still have money to go to other places."
His answer was a direct denial of me without mercy, but it was also true. I am just an outsider, and it is extremely difficult to step onto the stage of the civilized world.
Although he made me a little unhappy, I agreed to him without hesitation. I needed him now, and it was reasonable for him not to think favorably of me. People can only be believed when you have successfully accomplished something.
you.
A few days later, Claire came back. She also brought me useful news. In the western region of Thailand, a man nicknamed "The God of Death" controls the underground order.
No one dares to compete with Old Nick, he is the first godfather of Thailand. There are countless underground forces in Thailand, large and small. This is certain and necessary.
If they are all swallowed up by Old Nick and only his power is left, then his death will come. No government can allow a single big power to exist.
Only if there is competition among many forces, the strongest one will be the overall maintainer of order. Only with such a delicate balance can stability be achieved.
Claire also found out that there was a high-ranking political figure in the west named Lori, who actually controlled everything here. The so-called "Death" was just his puppet.
After knowing this news, I had an idea in my mind. The next step is to enter the civilized world!
