Chapter 1249: People can't help themselves in the Jianghu!
Chapter 1249: People in the world have no control over themselves!
Chen Wei would not dare to neglect calls from Beijing.
"Hello, I'm Chen Wei."
Chen Wei picked up the phone and said.
"Mr. Chen, it's me."
A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Mr. Jiang? Why do you have time to call me?"
Hearing the other party's voice, Chen Wei immediately sat up straight.
Although the other party is not as old as him, his status is not divided by age.
As the saying goes, if you don't come to the capital, you won't know that you are an official.
Jingnan and Jingcheng are just one word apart, and their status is very different.
1
One is one of the modern cities, and the other is the capital city of the Dragon Kingdom, at the feet of the Emperor.
How can the two be compared?
How can these people from within the capital system be simple?
Even though the Chen family was prospering in the south of Beijing and had an extraordinary status.
But in front of these big guys in the capital, Chen Wei still had to maintain absolute respect and courtesy.
"Mr. Lu, I'm done with what I'm doing."
"I estimate that he will leave for Beijing in the next two days."
"You need to make arrangements over there."
When the other party said these words, Chen Wei nodded quickly.
And the arrangement the other party mentioned is not as simple as arranging food and accommodation.
For a big shot with such a high status, the safety of this trip must first be guaranteed.
In addition, what things do the above want to see and what do the above do not want to see?
On this point, the government staff in places like southern Beijing must also be aware of this.
The Chen family is considered to be at the top of the list of aristocratic families in Jingnan, so they have to pay more attention to it.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will make arrangements here."
Chen Wei nodded repeatedly, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
"Okay, you have to be prepared first."
"I will contact you again when the time comes."
After the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Chen Wei also slowly put down his phone, frowning and thinking about something.
"Old man..."
Chen Jiahui looked at Chen Wei, hesitant to speak.
"how?"
Chen Wei saw something was wrong with Chen Jiahui's expression and immediately frowned and asked.
"You, you seem to have changed..."
Chen Jiahui hesitated for a long time and finally said this.
"What has changed?"
When Chen Wei heard this, he became even more confused.
"You, a little bit unlike you..."
"I still remember that you were not like this when you just came back from the army."
Chen Jiahui mustered up his courage and spoke out in one breath.
He remembered that when Chen Weigang retired, he was still very high-spirited.
He is upright and can't hold a grain of sand in his eyes.
Even if he meets someone with a higher status than him, he will never get used to it.
But now Chen Wei is more tactful and snobbish.
Just talking about Lin Xiao, if it was Chen Wei in the past, the relationship between the Chen family and Lin Xiao would definitely not be what it is now.
Chen Wei also fell silent when he heard Chen Jiahui's words.
After a long time, he slowly let out a sigh.
"When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves."
"I didn't believe it before, but now I do."
In Chen Wei's tone, there was helplessness, a bit of unwillingness, and a bit of resignation.
Of course he knew what it was like when he was in the army.
However, the military world and the secular world are two different worlds after all.
There are no interests involved in the army, and there is no money or power. All soldiers eat from the same pot and train together.
There is no intrigue, no comparison of money and power, the only competition is personal combat power and ability.
There is no need to worry about food and clothing, and there is no distinction between classes.
Everyone is the same.
But in real society, how can it be the same as in the military?
Money, power, connections and background, nothing will work without it.
If you don’t want to be stepped on, you have to blend in.
"At the beginning, I thought things would be as I thought."
"But later I discovered that I couldn't deal with the world with the same methods used in the military."
"I can't change this real society, so I can only integrate into this real society."
It was rare for Chen Wei to reveal his true feelings to Chen Jiahui.
Hearing Chen Wei's words, Chen Jiahui was very moved.
"Actually, it's precisely because I know that the military tactics won't work in the secular world that I don't think highly of Lin Xiao."
Chen Wei shook his head and mentioned Lin Xiao again.
No matter how good you are in the military, the rules of real society are completely different from those in the military.
Therefore, even though Lin Xiao once held the position of commander in the army, Chen Wei still didn't care much.
"But what I didn't expect was that he could adapt to the secular world quickly."
"And, he did much better than me."
When Chen Wei said this, his tone was full of emotion.
He had to admit that what Lin Xiao did really surprised him.
I originally thought that if Lin Xiao tried his best to do things in the secular world, he would definitely run into obstacles at every turn, and would eventually have to retire sadly.
But it was only now that Chen Wei realized that he had underestimated Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao is not only good at leading troops in war, but also has great business acumen.
His abilities in all aspects are very powerful.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to get to this point in Jingnan within a period of time.
