Chapter 357 Opportunities that are both black and white
"Wang Bin, what's going on? Have you and Deputy Mayor Zuo discussed this scene?" I asked from the side, feeling sad for Zuolun in my heart.
Wang Bin, Zuo Lun'er's beloved man; Vice Mayor Zuo, Zuo Lun's biological father; being deceived by these two closest people together, even if Zuo Lun'er knew the truth, he would probably still feel uncomfortable, so this secret should be kept forever.
Go down.
Wang Bin shook his head and did not answer my question.
Deputy Mayor Zuo said with a smile: "Wang Bin, you can go. I will talk to Yi Feng about the next thing. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
What's going on? I asked why Wang Bin had to drag me in. It turns out that this matter has something to do with me.
I looked at Wang Bin curiously, but he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Feng, there's only so much I can do, don't let me down."
After saying this, Wang Bin ignored my curiosity and slowly left the box, then closed the door of the box tightly.
Vice Mayor Zuo and I were the only two people left in the box, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
After a stalemate for a while, I spoke first: "Deputy Mayor Zuo, don't you plan to explain to me clearly what happened today?"
Vice Mayor Zuo, also known as Zuo Guoli in Zuo Lun'er's mouth, smiled slightly, then picked up a glass of wine and said to me: "Let's drink another one."
I picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
After all, the other party is the deputy mayor, and I am a "thief" who has committed many crimes, so our status is very different. It is hard for me to say anything harsh in front of him, otherwise I will probably be killed the next day.
.
Zuo Guoli put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "You are still a person with a temper. You are a young man. Some people have a good temper, but if you have a too big temper, it will become childish and stupid, and it will affect your future."
I didn’t understand Zuo Guoli’s intention, so I patiently said “Thank you for your support”, and then continued: “Deputy Mayor Zuo, can you explain the matter to me clearly? What is the agreement between you and Wang Bin?
What kind of agreement did you make, why do you still need to talk to me? It’s about me, right?”
Zuo Guoli nodded, then put away his smile and said, "You should call me Uncle Zuo! Today's matter is indeed related to you."
My brows suddenly stood up, so Wang Bin agreed to Zuo Guoli's breakup with Zuo Lun'er because of me. Damn it, now I owe Wang Bin a lot of favors.
Seeing the change in my expression, Zuo Guoli seemed to have guessed what I was thinking, so he said: "Yifeng, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself. Wang Bin must have done this carefully. He is doing it to help you."
On the one hand, and on the other hand, I can also see that he sincerely hopes that our Yan'er will be well, in other words, Wang Bin is sincere."
"You also know that Wang Bin and Zuo Lun'er are sincere, so why do you still break them up?" I asked Zuo Guoli.
Zuo Guoli sighed and said: "Sincerity does not mean happiness. Think about it, what does Wang Bin do? Don't fool me, I know that he, like you, is a master who licks blood from the tip of a knife.
Maybe that day you will fall into the hands of others and even lose your life. If you can't even guarantee your own life, what can you do to make others happy?"
What Zuo Guoli said was plausible and every sentence made sense.
I remember that Gu Qingfeng once taught me that when someone seizes your weakness and tries to argue with you about a problem, but you are unable to fight back, then change the subject, look for the other person's weakness, and then lead the conversation to the other person's weakness.
, this is the basic skill of debate.
So I calmed down a little and went to look for Zuo Guoli's weakness in this matter, that is, the benefits to him of letting Wang Bin and Zuo Lun'er break up.
"Deputy Mayor Zuo, these are not the only reasons why Wang Bin and Zuo Lun'er broke up. You are also worried that Wang Bin's identity will affect your future career, right?" I countered, this is the fastest thing I can think of.
reason.
Zuo Guoli smiled and did not deny it. Instead, he nodded and said: "Yes, I admit, I have this idea. The purpose of doing something is never too simple. Who wouldn't want to do more with one stone?"
, if Wang Bin and Yan'er separate, then Yan'er may find a better home, and my career will not be affected. If it were you in my place, what would you do?"
I knew that there was no need for me to argue any further on this issue, so I said directly: "Deputy Mayor Zuo, since Wang Bin agreed to your proposal and separated from Zuo Lun'er, what exactly did you agree to him?
You should tell me about it, right?"
Zuo Guoli took a deep breath and said, "Wang Bin's request was very simple and innocent. He asked me to be your protective umbrella. This was also the only condition for him to agree to break up with Yan'er."
"So, you agreed?" I couldn't help but be curious. If he agreed to be my protection, then if the matter was exposed, not only would his career be over, he might also be imprisoned. If he was for
In terms of his career, it seems that there is no need to agree to Wang Bin's condition, because he still has many ways to separate Bin and Zuo Lun'er, such as directly finding a reason to arrest Wang Bin.
Thinking of this, I was still confused, because I felt that I could not guess Zuo Guoli's thoughts at all, and during the conversation with him, I was completely passive.
Zuo Guoli smiled and said: "I agreed, but Yi Feng, don't think that I will stand up to protect you directly. I will only provide you with 'information and policy' support as your protective umbrella. I will not directly come forward to protect you."
, let alone help you get rid of anyone!"
I smiled and nodded: "I know that everything you do must be done without affecting your reputation, right?"
Zuo Guoli nodded.
In fact, being able to get the support of a mayor in terms of news and policies has been a great help for my development! First of all, the news, when the police will investigate what, if there is news in advance, I can transfer or destroy the evidence to avoid myself
Secondly, with the support of various policies issued by the municipal party committee, my business will receive a series of formal patronage, which will be of great help to "launder" many of my assets, that is to say
With the help of Zuo Guoli, I will soon be able to have a legitimate business identity in Xingzhou like Jin Laowai and Tong Jiuchao, and then be able to be both black and white.
This is also the development trend of our Hongxiang Society. Only by integrating white things and our Xingzhou has its own identity, will the big guys on the white road recognize our existence.
Next, Zuo Guoli and I talked a lot, but most of the topics centered on how we can cooperate in the future. But to sum up, I will invest money and he will provide policy support, but it must be a legal business.
.
During this period, I also mentioned that I wanted to pay Zuo Guoli a favor, but he actively refused. He said, "Yi Feng, maybe if I cooperate with you today, you don't think I am a good official, but even if I am a bad official, I will
I have principles for doing things. I will not take bribes or embezzle. I am only cooperating with you so that your money can be used in the right way and contribute to the development of Xingzhou. Of course, this is noble.
To put it more simply, I am just for political achievements, a political achievement that allows me to keep climbing up, so I will abide by these principles on many issues, because in China, the official career is a line that cannot be reconnected.
If you fall down, you will never have the chance to get up."
Some people are for money, some are for power, and it is obvious that Zuo Guoli is for the latter.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when I ended my conversation with Zuo Guoli. I sent him out first. He had a driver to pick him up, so I didn't have to worry about it. I asked him some questions about Zuolun indifferently, and he just smiled.
He said to me: "Don't worry, go back and tell Wang Bin that I will take good care of Yan'er!"
I nodded and said nothing.
When Vice Mayor Zuo got in the car, he suddenly turned to look at me and said, "Yi Feng, if you were with our Yan'er, maybe I would agree today!"
I was stunned for a moment and then said: "Deputy Mayor Zuo, don't be ridiculous. Sister Zuo Lun'er and I are absolutely impossible."
Zuo Guoli smiled and said: "Don't make things so absolute. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future."
After saying that, Zuo Guoli got in the car and left.
After Zuo Guoli left, the thugs came over from a distance. He looked at me and said, "Crazy brother, why did Wang Bin run out in the middle? What happened?"
I patted the thug on the shoulder and said, "On the way to the car, what happened today happened so fast. I still feel like I'm in a dream."
After getting in the car, I told the thug exactly what happened today. After listening to what I said, the thug said blankly: "It's just a pity for Wang Bin and Zuo Lun'er. Crazy brother, Wang Bin died this time."
Big enough."
I said "Yeah" and said, "That's right, so I have to go see him. I don't know what his mood is like!"
Then the thugs took me to Shengchang Street, and we found Wang Bin at his residence. When we found him, he was playing Landlord with Zhang Beichen and the civet cat who had just been discharged from the hospital.
Seeing me coming, Zhang Beichen threw down his cards and smiled at me and said, "Crazy brother, why are you here?"
I glared at Zhang Beichen and said, "If you don't go to Yuannan Street and stay there, what will happen if the teacher goes to Shengchang Street?"
Zhang Beichen touched his head and smiled: "There's nothing going on there, it's quite boring, so I took the time to come back and see the civet cats..."
The civet cat also smiled and said: "Yes, crazy brother, Beichen is here to see me."
Wang Bin smiled and said nothing. He was about to win an Oscar, and he must have cried a lot in his heart. He could still smile on his face. I really admire him.
"Who won?" I asked casually.
Zhang Beichen smiled and said: "Me and Civet Mao won. Brother Bin lost four or five hundred today. He is not in good condition today."
It would be strange if Wang Bin is in good condition.
I sighed and said, "You guys go to other rooms for a while. I want to talk to Wang Bin about something serious."
When I said this, the others didn't have any objections, so they got up and went to other rooms. It was not very convenient for the civet cat to move, so Zhang Beichen and the thugs came over to help him out.
Wang Bin and I were the only ones left in the room. Before I could speak, Wang Bin said: "Xiao Feng, if you are here to persuade me or say thank you or something like that, then there is no need to speak. I won't
Needed, because I’m fine now!”
This is Wang Bin, who has a proud heart, and even if it hurts, he will never say it won't hurt.
Of course, another meaning is that you have to live to save face and suffer the consequences!
