Many people say that time is the best thing for a person to grow and mature. However, Lin Tianqi does not completely agree with this statement. He believes that it is not time that makes people mature, but life experience.
Looking at the Xu Wenqiang in front of him, compared to the young and enthusiastic Xu Wenqiang when they first met in Peiping, Xu Wenqiang now looks obviously much more mature and steady, with a calm expression, unfazed, and full of vicissitudes of life.
If we count age, Xu Wenqiang is now in his early twenties and has not graduated from college, but his appearance and temperament are completely mature and vicissitudes that are inconsistent with his age.
This may also be the price of maturity and growth. Only after experiencing the great pain and sorrow in life can you suddenly wake up. However, the price paid for this kind of growth and awakening is often huge.
"Sit down." With a slight smile, Lin Tianqi asked Xu Wenqiang to sit down again. His eyes fell on Xu Wenqiang's calm and weathered face, and he asked casually: "When did you come to Guangzhou?"
He didn't talk much about the things in Peking. Lin Tianqi knew that for Xu Wenqiang, the things in Peking were probably something he would never want to mention again in his life, and Lin Tianqi would not expose anyone's scars.
"I arrived yesterday afternoon." Xu Wenqiang also smiled slightly, and then continued: "I came to Mr. Lin this time because I wanted to find a job with Mr. Lin. I wonder if Mr. Lin still lacks people."
While speaking, Xu Wenqiang also looked at Lin Tianqi with a smile on his face. When Lin Tianqi heard this, his expression did not change, his smile did not change, and he said with a smile.
"Of course, I said when we were in Peking, if Wen Qiang is willing to come to my place, as long as you nod, the door will always be open for you."
"Thank you for your respect, Mr. Xu." Hearing this, Xu Wenqiang also felt a sense of gratitude in his heart. Then he stood up and bowed his hands to Lin Tianqi and said solemnly: "Wen Qiang is just a commoner. Thank you for your kindness to Mr. Wen Qiang. He has saved me many times and has been a great kindness. Wen Qiang will always remember it."
In my heart, I will never forget that it is rare for my husband to think highly of Wen Qiang. Wen Qiang will do his best for him in the future and will never let him down or live up to his good intentions."
These words were sonorous and powerful. On the one hand, Xu Wenqiang expressed his determination to Lin Tianqi. On the other hand, it was Xu Wenqiang’s inner words. He was truly grateful to Lin Tianqi. It was Lin Tianqi who saved him and Xiaodong when they first met in Peking.
Later, when they met at school, Lin Tianqi also gave him kind words and advice, but at that time he was still passionate and didn't take Lin Tianqi's words seriously.
Later, when Zhengdang was imprisoned, he was also rescued from prison by Lin Tianqi. At first, he was a little doubtful that Lin Tianqi had any intention of looking at him differently, but later, as he got to know Lin Tianqi slowly, he realized
Come on, for a person of Lin Tianqi's level, there are too many things in himself that are worthy of Lin Tianqi's intentions, so it is impossible for him to have too many intentions.
So this is also the main reason why Xu Wenqiang came south to Guangzhou to find Lin Tianqi after he figured it out. One was to make sure that Lin Tianqi could not have many intentions towards him, and even if he had, it was basically impossible to have bad intentions. The other was to experience the Peking Prison and Xiaodong's death.
After the incident, the patriotic passion in his heart was completely extinguished. After seeing the reality clearly, he no longer had the same passion as before.
"Have a seat. Once you enter a family, you will be a family from now on. You don't need to be too polite." Looking at Xu Wenqiang's appearance, Lin Tianqi was also satisfied. He really admired Xu Wenqiang in his heart. He was wise and courageous. Perhaps personally
Not very good in terms of strength, but in terms of doing things, he is definitely a rare talent. He asked Xu Wenqiang to sit down again and asked: "What do you want to do next?"
"Now let me tell you about the situation of the forces below me first. I think you should have known about the Qilin Association when you came to Guangzhou yesterday. I don't need to say more. Strictly speaking, the Qilin Association is just a member of the Wumen that I control now.
Gangs, and in the entire Wumen, there are more than a dozen gangs like the Qilin Club. In addition to gangs, Wumen's power also involves business, literature, martial arts and other aspects."
Lin Tianqi spoke again, telling Xu Wenqiang about the current situation of the entire Wumen under his command. Lin Tianqi planned to train Xu Wenqiang as a confidant like Fang Ming, Li Qiang, Li Debiao, and Zhang Shouyi, so Lin Tianqi did not know much about the current situation of the Wumen under his command.
Conceal it and tell Xu Wenqiang briefly so that he can have a general understanding of the entire Wu Sect today.
Xu Wenqiang couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He was a little shocked when he came to Guangzhou yesterday and learned about the Qilin Society's power in Guangzhou. Now after listening to Lin Tianqi's complete description of the entire Wu Sect, he realized how powerful Lin Tianqi's subordinates are.
, For people at Lin Tianqi's level, perhaps a secular force like Wumen is not too eye-catching, but for ordinary people, it is hard to believe.
"Wumen is the core of my forces. If you want to become a formal member of Wumen, you must meet the requirements in martial arts or be a leader in other fields. Only then can you be qualified to become a formal member of Wumen.
Under the current situation, I can’t arrange for you to enter Wumen directly, but I hope that you can officially become a member of Wumen in the future.”
Lin Tianqi said again. Xu Wenqiang was shocked when he heard this. He immediately understood Lin Tianqi's intention and fancy and said immediately.
"My husband likes me. Wen Qiang will not let him down."
Lin Tianqi nodded slightly when he saw this and continued.
"The most suitable things for you to do under me now are mainly two aspects, one is the gang, and the other is the business aspect. If you are a gang, you need to fight and kill. Now the forces in the sect are spreading to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau and other cities.
As a springboard for our Wumen to develop overseas in the future, this area is currently the most lacking of people, followed by the commercial economy area."
"There is no need to fight in the business economy, and with the power of my Wumen, there is no need to worry about someone playing tricks in the dark. You are also a top student in the university. Even if you don't know about this area before, I believe that with your talents
As long as you pay attention, you can quickly master it. Which of these two paths you want to develop is up to you."
When Xu Wenqiang heard this, he fell silent and began to think about the two paths Lin Tianqi gave. If it was for stability and security, then there is no doubt that taking the commercial path is the safest and most stable for him. But after what happened in Peking, he knew
, in this era, after all, money is not as important as power. Having money does not necessarily mean you have power, but if you have power, you will definitely not be short of money.
Perhaps because of what happened in Peiping, he felt that his desire for power was greater than anything else. He pondered for a moment and spoke.
"I choose the gang."
Lin Tianqi also nodded when he heard this.
"In that case, I'll arrange for you to go to Shanghai. Take a rest tonight, and I'll arrange for you to go there with me tomorrow. According to the news I got, Yanyun is also in Shanghai."
"Yanyun" Xu Wenqiang was shocked when he heard this, and then nodded heavily: "Thank you, sir."
But he thought that one of the reasons Lin Tianqi arranged for him to go to Shanghai was because Fang Yanyun was there.
Lin Tianqi smiled slightly, said nothing more, stood up and sent Xu Wenqiang out. Knowing that Xu Wenqiang had already settled in Guangzhou City, he made no further arrangements to send Xu Wenqiang away. Lin Tianqi called Fang Ming and Li Debiao again.
"Sir!" "Sir!"
Fang Ming and Li Debiao called Lin Tianqi.
"Sit down." Lin Tianqi smiled slightly, asked the two of them to sit down, and then asked Fang Ming: "How is the news in Shanghai going?"
During this period, after Wu Sanjiang, Xu Hong and other gangs such as Dajiang Gang and Daming Society in the north went south to establish stable territory in various cities around Guangzhou, the Qilin Society also began to march into cities such as Hong Kong, Macau, and Shanghai. Hong Kong, Macau and other places have already begun
After occupying the territory, Zhang Shouyi took people to Macau and Li Qiang took people to Hong Kong.
Only Shanghai has not taken action yet. Firstly, because Zhang Shouyi and Li Qiang brought out a large number of people, Hou Qilin will seem to be short of manpower. Secondly, Shanghai in this era is the most prosperous place in China and even Asia, and it is also the most complex in terms of strength.
The influence of local people, especially foreigners, is extremely strong in Shanghai, so they have not yet taken action against Shanghai during this period.
Of course, the most important thing is that Lin Tianqi has no intention of taking matters into his own hands, otherwise he would have beaten it down long ago.
"The gangsters in Shanghai are the most powerful, and the second most powerful gangster in Shanghai is Feng Jingyao. This man has a good relationship with the French and is the most powerful man in the French Concession."
Fang Ming opened his mouth and told Lin Tianqi about the situation in Shanghai. Although they had not taken action against Shanghai during this period, their personnel had already begun to penetrate into Shanghai. Qiqi had already investigated the situation there. Lin Tianqi nodded slightly when he heard this.
Then he said.
"Well, now that the investigation is complete, there is no need to delay any more. Let's send people to Shanghai tomorrow to take action. This time, De Biao, you will take the people there."
"Ah, sir, I'm afraid I can't lead people. It's okay if you ask me to fight and kill people, but it's really not okay to lead my subordinates to manage these things."
Li Debiao immediately turned pale after hearing this.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for another person to go to the same area with you. His name is Xu Wenqiang. You can go find him later and meet him in advance."
Lin Tianqi also knows Li Debiao's temperament, and if he is allowed to fight and kill, he will definitely be a fierce general. Even among the four Li Qiang, Li Debiao, and Zhang Shouyi, Li Debiao is the leader in terms of force. Moreover, in the past few days, Li Debiao also broke through the dark power and became the first of the four to set foot in the dark.
He is a strong person, but in terms of management, Li Debiao is just a rough guy.
"Xu Wenqiang?"
Fang Ming's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he also remembered that Lin Tianqi seemed to think highly of Xu Wenqiang when he was in Peiping, so he paid attention.
"Well, this man doesn't know martial arts, and his personal martial arts are not very good, but he is talented in managing people. It's just right for him and De Biao to lead people there, one for both martial arts and one for martial arts."
Lin Tianqi also nodded.
Fang Ming nodded when he heard this. Although he didn't know much about Xu Wenqiang, he believed Lin Tianqi's words unconditionally.
"Hehe, that's good. I'll go see that Xu Wenqiang later. If I can get Mr.'s approval, I'll feel relieved."
