Liu Hongjiang, who had not slept for nearly two days, had red eyes and a stooped figure. When he walked into the passenger transport company's conference room, almost all the key members of the gang were already present. The number of people was much smaller than before, with only seven or eight people. But it is the absolute core, and none of the people on the periphery, Liu Hongjiang, are called.
The conference room was hazy with smoke. The group of people were smoking anxiously, their expressions were stiff and they no longer had the smiles of the past. The bank loan matter had been put on hold, and the plan to launch the Sanquan Town project had been put on hold. After a ruthless kick, the possibility of continuing is almost zero.
The bus line collapsed and is still in a state of suspension for rectification. For the people below, this is not a big deal. It is just a temporary loss of a job. But for these people sitting here, a day is not a big deal. Making money means losing money. Every minute the time goes back, their wealth will shrink by one point. This makes them who have transformed from bastards into bastard businessmen very uncomfortable.
"Brother."
"Brother Jiang."
After Liu Hongjiang came in, everyone smiled and said hello. Liu Hongjiang nodded expressionlessly and sat in the front seat. Fa Ge did not sit in the seat today, but sat outside the conference table, holding his chin, very quietly Look at the crowd.
The fifth son, who was not seriously injured, has been discharged from the hospital and sat next to Liu Hongjiang without saying a word.
"Something happened at home." Liu Hongjiang paused, buried his face in his hands, rubbed it vigorously, raised his head and said.
Everyone looked at Liu Hongjiang with no surprised expressions. Some were smoking cigarettes and some had their hands crossed. They didn't answer anything, waiting for Liu Hongjiang to continue.
"The relationship between Fatty Dai and I is no longer a simple conflict of interests. To make it clear, in H City, there is him without me, and I without him. I, Liu Hongjiang, may not be as rich as him, but in this matter , I must have a more upright attitude than him, and I will fuck him just because I have a child who has lost his mother." Liu Hongjiang said loudly.
Seeing Liu Hongjiang's ferocious expression and the words he spoke through gritted teeth, everyone fell into silence again, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward.
Liu Hongjiang also looked at everyone, but this atmosphere made his heart instantly freeze.
He had a lot to talk about, a lot of resentment and bitterness in his heart, and he wanted to have a chat with these old brothers who had shared weal and woe together, to express his grievances and get some comfort.
But now, he couldn't say a word.
For a full five minutes, there was no sound at all in the room, and it was eerily quiet.
"Brother Jiang, if I didn't know you, I might not even be able to ride a bicycle. I know what kind of toy I am. In the past few years, you have made me live like a human being. Sanquan Town, we Wherever I go, if anyone mentions that I am Liu Hongjiang's brother, then everyone will take a high look, and I will die. I will do what you say, get money when you ask, and give to people when you ask." Wu Zi had no expression on his face and said something simple and clear.
"hehe."
Liu Hongjiang turned his head and looked at the little brother who probably got the least from him, but still had bruises on his face. He only smiled softly, but did not answer anything.
After everyone listened to Wuzi's words, their eyes became even more evasive, deliberately not looking at Liu Hongjiang.
"Okay, let's stop talking today. Let's let the financial accountant calculate the shares tomorrow. Let's divide this bit of family property and that's it. But there is one thing. Whoever gets more and who gets less, you guys give it to me. Negotiate privately and don't make trouble in the finance room. If outsiders know about it, I can't afford to embarrass that person. You come up with a result and then ask me to sign it. That's it, let's get over it." Liu Hongjiang took a sip of water and said nothing. He stood up without hesitation.
"Brother Jiang." Brother Guo called out.
Liu Hongjiang stood at his desk, looked back at him, and asked without moving, "What's wrong?"
"Uh-huh."
Brother Guo stood up holding on to the table, put out the cigarette butt in his hand, paused and said: "Brother Jiang, we have talked about this today. These words have been in my heart for a long time. I want to say a few words. ."
"Okay, tell me." Liu Hongjiang looked at Lao Guo, adjusted his steps, turned around and straightened him out.
"Brother, we have been in a relationship for so many years. Whether it's buddies, bosses or subordinates, I won't beat around the bush. From the moment you entered the room, we knew that something was wrong with Yanyan, but at the same time, you also knew that something was wrong with the company. The question is, the weight between the company and the relatives. If we are the ones who balance ourselves in our hearts, we can lean towards the family members, but it is different for you. You are the leader, you are the helmsman, and you should Control your emotions, but from the moment you entered the room, you have been emphasizing that something happened to Yan Yan, you are not happy, you are very angry, and you want to make an issue with Fatty Dai, and everything is centered on you. No, to put it another way, you are dragging us old guys to do something for you. Even if you lose your head, you are not allowed to complain about pain. This is very selfish. If ten years ago, I could do it with you I can do it, but after ten years, I won’t be able to do it.” Brother Guo knocked on the table very excitedly and said equally loudly.
"Lao Guo, you may have forgotten how your previous boss treated you. Before I met you, you built a small karaoke bar." Liu Hongjiang patted the swivel chair with his hand and continued softly with steady steps. : "You found the girl in the karaoke bar. You spent money on the decoration. You were the only one who made the connection. Your boss left the venue. In the end, the matter was settled. You were kicked out. You invested the money in the karaoke bar. You didn't even come out, so you found Liu Hongjiang, who had lived next door to you since childhood. He didn't have the ability to help you ask for things, but he asked you to work on the bus line together. Then, you gradually got used to being called Brother Guo, I never like to play emotional kidnapping, but you said I am selfish, yes, I am selfish in this matter, but if you recall carefully, without Liu Hongjiang’s selfishness again and again, you would be where you are today. Brother Guo, can you drive an Audi A6? Are you more likely to stand here and talk to me about shares that can be discounted? You and I both know how much that thing is worth, right?"
"Peng, bang bang."
Liu Hongjiang kicked the chair over and pointed at Brother Guo's nose and asked.
"I worked hard to grab these things myself," Brother Guo shouted through gritted teeth.
"But there are so many damn people who work hard on one-third of an acre of land and get nothing."
Liu Hongjiang replied with his eyes widened.
There was silence in the room. A group that once moved forward hand in hand no longer used to live in a tin shack, have to warm up the car at six in the morning and finish work at eight in the evening. Some are just tit-for-tat. Blushing and thick-necked, he roared and complained.
"To be honest, when I walked into this room today, I didn't think about dragging anyone with me to face Fatty Dai. I just felt uncomfortable holding it in. I wanted to find a few people, and I was willing to tell them what was in my heart. My friends and buddies, I have already asked the finances to liquidate the shares of each of you, including Wu Zi’s. Okay, I don’t want to talk about it anymore. We have the money, but the relationship has changed, so let’s stop here.”
Liu Hongjiang looked at the ceiling, let out a long breath, finished speaking, and walked out of the conference room without stopping at all. Fa Ge thought for a moment and followed him out without saying a word.
"Haha, this is quite interesting. Hey, Lao Guo, now that we have divided the family, I will work with you to do something together in the future. How do you think I can convince myself to believe you? How can you convince yourself to believe me? I."
Wu Zi said something seemingly incomprehensible. Before Lao Guo could reply, he stood up, stretched his waist, picked up his bag and left.
outside the door.
Wu Zi and Fa Ge followed Liu Hongjiang, who was striding forward.
"Brother, when this money reaches a certain level, no one can trust it. It's good to divide it now. At least you don't have to face several fat guys at the same time." Wu Zi took a sip of mineral water and said calmly.
"Don't say that, they have their own difficulties." Liu Hongjiang replied with a smile and continued: "You should sell your shares quickly, don't wait any longer."
"Brother, what do you mean?" Wuzi asked sideways.
Liu Hongjiang turned around, looked at Wuzi, was silent for a second or two, and continued: "Your eldest brother, I am not short of money or people, but now I am short of friends and brothers. If you really want to help me, just do it well." It’s your own business.”
Wu Zi pursed his lips and looked at Liu Hongjiang without saying a word.
"I asked Fa Zi to take me back," Liu Hongjiang patted Wu Zi on the shoulder and walked down the steps.
Soon the two people got in the car.
Driving on the street, Liu Hongjiang was sitting in the back seat, looking decadent and tired, which made people extremely sad. After more than ten years of hard work, in the end, it seemed that all he had left was money.
"Fazi, what are your plans?" Liu Hongjiang suddenly asked.
"I will listen to your arrangement." Fa Ge thought for a moment and said without looking back.
"Haha, work hard and take the bus line I gave you." Liu Hongjiang smiled calmly and finalized the end of Fa Ge's career as a nanny driver.
In the evening, Han Li made an appointment with Fa Ge to meet him at a ramen restaurant in Sanquan Town and asked for the balance of the second loan.
"Uh-huh."
Fa Ge thought for a moment, took out a photo from his leather bag that looked like a photo album again, and pushed it in front of Han Li.
"What do you mean?" Han Li was confused.
"Do it for me one last time," Fa Ge replied expressionlessly.
"Brother, look at what happened to me, and you let me do it," Han Li pointed to his head that looked like India's Asan, and asked in disbelief. He had never seen such a person before. A boss who abuses his employees.
"I'll give you double the money, but the person must be killed."
When Han Li heard that the price had doubled, he couldn't help but look at the photo, frowned and asked: "Can you tell me why the people in this gang offended you? I think you are leaving no way for others to survive." ah."
"Do what you should do." Fa Ge replied after taking a sip of Fanta and crossing his hands.
