Based on Jiang Qing’s temperament three to five years ago, he probably wouldn’t be interested in attending such a high-level gathering. On the one hand, she is not sociable, and on the other hand, she understands the truth and feels that as long as she does her job well, everything else is secondary.
But the ups and downs that the Long Group has experienced over the years, including General Qi getting into trouble time and time again because of improper interpersonal relationships, all made Jiang Qing understand a truth.
Work must be done well. You also need to have connections. Otherwise, the future of the Dragon Group will still be difficult to achieve.
After changing into a decent evening dress, Jiang Qing got into the BMW parked in front of her house and glanced at Xiao Zheng with a calm expression: "What did you promise her?"
Xiao Zheng started the car and said with a smile: "Weren't you there at that time? She just asked me to promise one thing, but she didn't say what it was."
Jiang Qing frowned and said, "She wants you to commit suicide, so you do it too?"
The reason why Jiang Qing has a stern expression is that he doesn't smile. One is that his personality is like this, and the other is that he is secretly angry. Angry at Xiao Zheng for not leaving any way out. Why did he have to push Xiao Zheng out when he was angry
It's their business if they are capable. Why do you, Jiang Qing, think about them every day
"Suicide?" Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. "She dares to ask for it, so what I promise her is to send her to hell."
Although the words are domineering, there is a suspicion of betrayal. But Jiang Qing felt particularly comfortable listening to it. The color on her face softened a little, and she pursed her lips and said, "It's best if you think so."
For a moment, the car fell into silence.
Jiang Qing casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water and took two sips. Ease the awkward atmosphere in the carriage.
Xiao Zhengze was driving and glanced at Jiang Qing in evening dress from the corner of his eye. This is incredible. Jiang Qing's figure is incredible. After years of training, her thighs are plump and straight, her waist is slender, and her buttocks are straight. His face was also full of energy.
She couldn't help but clicked her tongue: "Wear more skirts from now on. Don't wear a uniform all day long. Not everyone likes the temptation of uniforms. You have to follow the public taste."
Jiang Qing was slightly startled, but secretly thought: What about the public taste? I dressed up for half an hour today, but I didn't even see you look at me twice.
She also thought that whenever Lin Huayin appeared, Xiao Zheng's eyes would not move at all. It was as if there was a treasure on Lin Huayin's beautiful face. Just stare at it for a moment.
Thinking like this, she couldn't possibly say it. He nodded, accepting Xiao Zheng's suggestion.
After another period of silence, Jiang Qing hesitated, and suddenly asked: "You used to fight as a straggler abroad. How did you adapt to such a life so quickly after returning home?"
When it comes to the working environment, Jiang Qing is somewhat restrained by institutional disciplines. Xiao Zheng did whatever he wanted. Completely unrestrained. Logically speaking, it should be more difficult for Xiao Zheng to adapt to complex interpersonal relationships than himself.
But unfortunately - Xiao has not only become a new player in the market in just three years. I also made friends with many big shots.
Jiang Qing was surprised by this skill, but also curious. How did Xiao Zheng do it
"What's life like?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
"A life that has both sides." Jiang Qing used a very appropriate adjective.
During the contact between Jiang Qing and Xiao Zheng, she seemed to rarely see Xiao Zheng suffer. And every time he can come up with strange tricks and do things that others can't even think of. What is this if it's not a compromise
"Both sides?" Xiao Zheng teased with a slight provocation. "It seems that I have done quite well in the past few years. I can get such high praise from Captain Jiang."
Jiang Qing pursed her lips and was speechless.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Jiang Qing, knowing that she might be in a conflicted state, so he couldn't help but slow down the car and said with a smile: "What do you think is the greatest value in life?"
"Living is the greatest value." Jiang Qing, who is used to seeing life and death, said.
"Yes. I agree." Xiao Zheng smiled and said. "What about the second thing?"
"Reflect self-worth." Jiang Qing said.
"Then what is your self-worth?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"Complete the tasks assigned by superiors." Jiang Qing said.
"The existence of the Dragon Group is to protect the family and the country." Xiao Zheng smiled and said. "In other words, the value of your existence is to defend the national honor."
Jiang Qing was stunned, it sounded like that was the case. But it's a bit big.
"I'm not that great." Jiang Qing pursed her lips and said.
"It seems that you are a giant in action and a dwarf in words." Xiao Zheng smiled and continued. "I'm really not as great as you. There is only one reason for the things I have done in the past few years."
"What?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
"Protect the people I care about and prevent them from getting hurt." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I've always heard people say that only when there's a country, there's a family. But in peacetime, in my heart, family comes before the country. You may say that I am a small citizen or selfish. This is what I have always done."
Jiang Qing was startled, shook his head and said: "This is not selfish. It is responsible."
Xiao Zheng smiled and then said: "As long as people are alive, they will always do things they don't want to do. You don't have to reject it. Just like on the battlefield, are you willing to watch your soldiers fall?"
"Of course, if we make preparations before the war and have good relations with all parties, we may be able to reduce the damage." Xiao Zheng smiled and said. "In a big city, if we know more people, we can also accumulate more energy. And we do all this to protect the people we care about. There is no conflict."
Jiang Qing nodded in understanding, somewhat understanding why Xiao Zheng had changed so much.
But suddenly, she raised her head and asked word for word: "Listening to what you said, you actually don't like your current life?"
"Nonsense. I have money and status. Who doesn't call me Boss Xiao when they see me? Look at where I live, a big mansion. It's worth more than 100 million. Look at where you live, an apartment. Stop making trouble. I don’t like my life, how can I like yours?”
Jiang Qing was stunned, shook his head and said, "At least I don't like it that much."
Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "You don't want to encourage me to join the Dragon Team full-time, do you?"
Jiang Qing pouted and said, "You are not suitable."
"It's not inappropriate. It's disdain." Xiao Zheng said swollenly. "Can a mere dragon group accommodate me?"
After chatting for a while, Xiao Zheng drove to the designated place. However, at the gate, two armed guards stopped Xiao Zheng.
"Sir, please show me your pass." A guard saluted politely. He said matter-of-factly.
The people living in the community are all high-ranking officials, each with a bigger background than the other, and they don't have passes. Even a wealthy person like Xiao Zheng, who has been on the news network, can't even think of entering.
Xiao Zheng didn't hesitate and took out the invitation letter given to him by Minister Gong.
The guard took a look and then saluted and let him go.
After parking the car, Xiao Zheng and Jiang Qing got out of the car at the same time. He didn't take more than two steps when he unexpectedly saw a figure. Xiao Zheng paused, couldn't help but squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "It's true that the road between enemies is narrow."
