Section 8: Retreat to advance

"You guys go back first, I'll go for some fun with Zhang Sheng, and just follow us in a car." When the car was halfway through the way back, I walked out of the car and said to Zhang Fangtian and Peng Yao behind me.

Zhang Fangtian walked out of the car, stood by the car door, and said, "But now, when the South American Gang was solved, President Chu's safety..."

I shook my hand and said, "I have the ability to defend myself, Zhang Sheng is also very good. Moreover, there is still a car to follow me, it's okay."

After hearing what I said, Zhang Fangtian looked at each other with Peng Yao who had just walked out of the car for a while, and said yes, got into the car and left with three cars. Zhang Sheng and I came to the bar we last came with Liu Yaqin.

After opening a private room and having all the drinks, I spent all the service staff to the room. Zhang Sheng saw my series of behaviors aside and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you? Didn't you have a good conversation tonight? Why do you still look unhappy? You are still interfering with Zhang Hong and ordering Peng Yao to do something, right?"

I held the remote control in my hand, ordered a song, then adjusted the sound to a moderate level, then sat in a seat very close to Zhang Sheng, and said, "I don't know why, but now I'm starting to have a very bad feeling."

"A bad premonition?" Zhang Sheng pouted, "How could it be? Isn't everything OK now?"

I took a sip of wine and asked Peng Yao, "Do you know why I was so angry when I knew Peng Yao committed suicide without permission?"

"Of course I know, because you hate killing people." Zhang Sheng said without hesitation.

I nodded, "Yes, this is one of the reasons. I hate Zhang Hong's style of clearly not needing to kill people to solve problems, but also to kill people. However, this is not the main reason. These people are not good people. Although killing people is not something I like, they will die if they die. I will not be more compassionate and sad for them, nor will I be angry about them."

"So, do you have another reason?" Zhang Sheng looked at me and said.

"Because Ulan. Ulan is, I think you should also know that she is a person with an overwhelming sense of justice, and I will always face her in the future. If I just run a casino, she might be forgiven by her. But if she comes back from a mission, she will find that I have become the instructor of a murder case. What will she think of me? Do we have any chance?"

When Zhang Sheng heard me say this, he stopped talking. He just touched his chin with one hand and was stunned when he held it. After a long time, he said, "Yes, Ulan's appearance will be a big problem. If she heard about something like this today, she might really break up with you and never meet you."

I lowered my head and sighed deeply, "If I really did something like ordering murder, she would not only break up with me. I can be sure that she would definitely come to arrest me in person."

"Don't say that with Ulan's personality, she can really do such things." Zhang Sheng said, nodding in agreement, and then patted my shoulder, "I finally understand your feelings, and I thought you were just disgusted with this approach."

"Although I am rebellious and do not kill people, I am not naive. Since I promised to take this seat, I have been prepared for constant murders around me. But from the day I took office, I made up my mind to never order anyone to be murdered. The important reason here is what I just said, I want to leave a way out and buffer for my relationship with Ulan. As Sheng, you and I are brothers, I might as well say something to you. Although I often say that I have no ambitions, I really don't have any ambitions. But one can become a big one.

The opportunity for characters is placed in front of me, and I can get it by just reaching out. I said I wouldn't reach out, that's a lie. This is why I know that I'm sitting in this seat is likely to conflict with Ulan's ideas, and I'm very likely to accept many things that go against my personal ideas, but I still choose to sit down. To put it bluntly, I really can't stand this temptation - a person who is less than 20 years old can reach the top and become the best. However, if one day, when a big man and Ulan have to make a choice, I will definitely choose Ulan."

"So this time you are extremely indignant at Zhang Hong's order to destroy the South American Gang under your name?"

"Yes." I nodded heavily and continued, "but the reason why I was so excited was not only because of indignation, but also because of fear."

"Fear?" Zhang Sheng put the wine glass on the table in surprise and asked in disbelief, "What are you afraid of?"

"Because of Zhang Hong's action, I clearly know what I am." I looked at the floor, and after a pause in my voice, I continued, "That's nothing... That's right, I look so glorious now, as if everyone wants to sell my face, but to put it bluntly, why am I so majestic? After all, it's just a fox and a tiger."

When I said this, I smiled weakly, "I am just a CEO invited by the two of them. To put it bluntly, I am just a worker. Everything I have now is nothing but a mirror and is not reliable at all. My future is not in my own hands. So what if I do well, no matter whether I am unhappy at that time, I will have to step down honestly. So what will happen next?"

I turned my face and looked at Zhang Sheng, "I have to bear it alone, all the enemies I left during my reign. By then, my name will be called Tiantian and Di Di is not effective, who cares about my life and death?"

Zhang Sheng's face turned green when I said it. He finally knew what the fear I was talking about. "If... if it's really so terrible, then we might as well withdraw it as soon as possible. Anyway, with your ability, you can do whatever you want, so why bother to do this?

I smiled bitterly, covered my face with my hands, and shook my head weakly, "It's impossible now. Let's not talk about the whole world now. Feng Ying and Zhang Hong mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources to cooperate with my plan. Now everything is in place and is about to begin. I suddenly said I won't play anymore. Do you think those old men will give up?"

I sighed to the sky, "Xiao Zhang, I'm still too young after all. Because of a moment of greed, I have reached this point today. It's really a standard way to tie myself up."

Zhang Sheng was nervous when I said, "Then how should we deal with it now?"

"To be honest, I have also dreamed of becoming a gambling giant with a transcendent status. But now my mind is completely awake, and things are never that simple. I now fully understand Zhang Hong's approach. He wants to force me to a situation where he can either be his heir with peace of mind. Everything follows his arrangements, and with his power, gradually swallow the foundation of United Tourism. Finally, I will be the heir of Zhang Hong's power and completely dominate United Tourism with the attitude of Zhang Hong's power. Or I will be kicked out at a critical moment and bear all the consequences alone."

"So, Zhang Hong really values ​​you very much." Zhang Sheng said.

"This is, but this kind of emphasis is not a good thing for me. I do want to be Zhang Hong's heir, but I just want to inherit his money and not his dark forces." Speaking of this, I took a hard shot on my seat and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, I have made up my mind, I know what to do."

"Did you already have a solution?" Zhang Sheng asked.

I shook my head and said, "It's not a countermeasure, but I have basic ideas."

"What is it?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"First of all, during this period, I must make them guarantee that in the next days, I will never allow orders to be ordered to kill people in my name, otherwise I will resign. When the Hualan pilot is completed and United Tourism begins to spread throughout Asia, I will resign from the position of United Tourism President."

"Resign?" Zhang Sheng was shocked by me again, "Didn't you just say you can't withdraw?"

"Of course I can't withdraw now. Now I'm just playing with those big guys. What I want to do now is to try to do a good job in Hualan City and let those old guys know my value. After I establish my business authority, before the expiration of half a year, I will meet Feng Ying first and form a compromise with her. I will tell her that after the expiration of the period, I will firmly demand to resign, hoping to get her support. My resignation will not cause the joint plan to continue. I will propose that one person from each of them will jointly serve as the president of United Tourism. I personally enter the board of directors to supervise the operation of both parties as an independent director and guide the business operations of the entire group to ensure that the entire group continues to operate normally."

"Guidance? What does guidance mean?"

I smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, I will do all the business operations."

"What's the difference except that you don't have the title of president?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"You are right. Apart from not having the title of president, what I do is actually not different from now. But what I have to do is to get rid of the title of president. The word "president" is like a big hat. Even though I don't have that big head, I will be covered by such a big hat. This hat will cover my entire face until I die of suffocation. The title of "president" will make everyone suspicious of me and jealous of me. And all the people who offend the United Travel will also be all the hatred caused by me. If I want to reach the top regardless of everything and become the super boss who dominates everyone, this kind of generation

Price is what I have to pay. But I have just told you that I am not interested in the boss of the local forces. I don’t like that kind of dull, calculating life all day long. If that’s the case, why should I still bear the hat that the president of United Tourism Group can only bring me fatigue? As long as I give up this position, become an independent director, and specialize in commercial operations, I can let everyone know clearly that I have no ambitions for the supreme leadership. I am just a tool responsible for helping everyone make money. All the bloody battles between underground forces have nothing to do with me. If you want to seek revenge or fight for hegemony, please go and find someone else."

Zhang Sheng's originally nervous body stretched out a little soothingly, "Well, this idea is really good, the best of both worlds."

"Yes." I also took a sip of wine with relief. "I just realized now that the so-called no way out is actually nonsense. As long as you can put something down and as long as you are willing to let it go, you can always find a solution to the problem."

"Yes, unify the world and become one of the most powerful people in Asia and even the world. This temptation is not something that anyone can resist." Zhang Sheng said, putting his hand on my shoulder and praising, "Aqi, you are really good."

I smiled and shook my head, "Actually, I can't completely get rid of this temptation. If I do, I will not participate in this plan. I just have self-knowledge and I have no foundation. If I rely solely on myself, I will not be able to control the overall situation, but I will never be willing to be manipulated and let my life follow the routes set by others. Since that's the case, I can only choose to give up my delusions and get what my abilities and foundations can get."

"How can you get it if you want to give up, but you don't know how to give up? This principle seems simple, but how many people can really do it. Aqi, you are less than 20 years old and can do it. It's amazing." When Zhang Sheng said this, he did not look at me, but lowered his head and looked at the floor, as if he was talking to himself.

I smiled and said, "I have to thank Zhang Hong for this. If he hadn't suddenly used this trick, reminded me and woke me up from my delusion, and felt that I was getting deeper and deeper, I would really not be able to look back in the future."

Zhang Sheng turned his head and looked at me, frowned slightly, and murmured something in a low voice.

Because the sound was too small, I didn't hear clearly what it was. I just felt that Zhang Sheng seemed to be different from him at this time.
