As soon as the call was connected, Tang Qingshan's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's wrong?"
As soon as Hu Yishan heard Tang Qingshan's tone, he knew that his old friend was in a very unhappy mood. He didn't ask any questions at the moment and said bluntly: "Xiao Zheng asked me to meet tonight."
"Did he let go?" Tang Qingshan's expression changed slightly, and there was a glimmer in his eyes.
"It's not certain yet." Hu Yishan shook his head and said. "But since he took the initiative to ask me out, he must have an idea."
Tang Qingshan nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
"Old Tang." Hu Yishan paused and said hesitantly. "Can I discuss something with you?"
"Say it." Tang Qingshan said casually, feeling depressed.
"Will you come over here?" Hu Yishan pursed his lips and said.
"Come here?" Tang Qingshan's expression suddenly changed, and his pupils suddenly expanded. "You want me to accompany you to meet Xiao Zheng?"
Hu Yishan heard the surprise and vigilance in Tang Qingshan's tone, and said meaningfully: "I know this is too risky for you."
"It's not a risk." Tang Qingshan frowned. "He's looking for death."
Tang Qingshan and Hu Yishan have a close relationship, but they maintain an absolutely low profile. If you have nothing to do, you can go a year or so without touching your head. Whenever we meet in private, we have important matters to discuss. Over the years, the two have exchanged news and can be described as supporting each other. An alliance was reached secretly.
But this relationship can only be carried out in secret. Once exposed, not only would Tang Qingshan be kicked out by Lin Chaotian, but Hu Yishan would also suffer heavy losses. You know, he has spent a lot of time on Tang Qingshan these years. So far, he has not recovered half of the cost.
"The greater the risk, the higher the reward." Hu Yishan said confidently. "In the past few years, you have been prosperous in the Lin family. If things continue like this, I will not encourage you to make changes. But you also know that the current situation is not good for you and even me. Mr. Lin Arranging that woman to take over your department is, firstly, to punish you. Secondly, is it not to remove obstacles for Lin Xiaozhudang?"
"Emperor and courtier. Mr. Lin will ask you to assist Lin Xiaozhu?" Hu Yishan said carefully. "Old Tang, think about it carefully. What will happen to the Lin family in the future? In the Lin family, can you still be as under one person as before?"
"If you don't break, you can't stand. You continue to sink in the Lin family. Your future end is very likely to be relegated to the second line with Old Demon Lin." Hu Yishan used his trump card and said in a deep voice. "You are five years younger than Old Demon Lin. Are you willing to do that?"
Tang Qingshan's eyes gleamed, and he pursed his lips and said, "I can still work for another twenty years."
"Old Demon Lin will not allow you to work in the Lin family for twenty years." Hu Yishan said word by word. "Autumn Harvest is the one who invited Lin Laoyao to take care of you old ministers. Once she sets up a new team for Lin Xiaozhu, it's time for you to step down and make way for others. Maybe - your career will be shorter than Lin Laoyao's."
Tang Qingshan on the other side of the phone fell silent.
Hu Yishan just lit a cigarette and waited silently for Tang Qingshan's next words.
He needs Tang Qingshan's help.
Without this old friend, he would not have enough courage to face the terrifying Old Demon Lin. Moreover, Hu Yishan also knew that Tang Qingshan held Dong Bijun's lifeline.
Joining forces is the most stable and safest lineup. Only then can he have the power to maneuver and leave a way out for himself. Otherwise, once a war breaks out, it will be like the bow of the full moon, dividing life and death.
"What can I do?" Tang Qingshan took a deep breath and asked.
"State your stance." Hu Yishan breathed a sigh of relief. "Let Xiao Zheng see our strength. Let him ally with us wholeheartedly. He should understand that without our help, he will not be able to compete with the Lin family."
"Can you trust him?" Tang Qingshan asked. "Aren't you afraid that he will ruin our relationship?"
"He is a businessman. Before doing something, the first thing he has to consider is the profit and loss." Hu Yishan explained. "By joining forces with us, he can withstand the Lin family's encirclement and suppression. Otherwise, his situation will be very difficult. And as far as I know, there is no solution to the conflict between him and Lin Lao Yao. Do you think he will tip off Lin Lao Yao? ?"
"In fact, the person in the world who wants Lin Laoyao to fall most is not you and me. It's him." Hu Yishan concluded.
"I go."
Tang Qingshan finally made up his mind.
He had to do the same.
Autumn Harvest parachuted into the Lin family, greatly weakening Tang Qingshan's voice in the Lin family. For this reason, he took the initiative to talk to Lao Yao Lin once. But the result was not ideal. Lin Laoyao didn't make any promises to him either. This made Tang Qingshan very chilled. It’s also clear that this is reality.
As expected, the new generation leader of the Lin family is basically Lin Xiaozhu. Most of Lin's backbone, including senior executives, will stay or even be promoted. But powerful elders like Tang Qingshan could not stay.
It is dangerous to have high achievements and overshadow the master. It is impossible for Lin Laoyao to plant a time bomb around his successor. Unless Tang Qingshan deactivates the detonator on his own. Relinquished his main position and assisted Lin Xiaozhu as an aide.
This is the multiple-choice question Lin Laoyao gave.
But will Tang Qingshan do this? Would he be willing to give up the country he had worked so hard for half a lifetime to just give up to others
He must be reluctant to give up.
Therefore, every time a new emperor ascends the throne, he must 'kill' a group of old officials and promote a group of confidants. Even if they are brothers, they will still wield the butcher's knife when necessary.
If you don't 'kill', the country will be unstable.
Faced with the inevitable path of history, Tang Qingshan will not give in. So his only option is to join forces with Hu Yishan. Fight for what you deserve.
…
Xiao Zheng chose the place himself, and of course it was the Dragon and Phoenix Tower. Firstly, there is free food and drink, and secondly, there is a lot of privacy. It is the safest location choice.
Xiao Zheng came to Longfeng Tower early to arrange dinner, then ordered someone to bring a pot of Pu'er, and drank it with snacks. Cooperating with Hu Yishan's Jufeng Network is the most labor-saving and scientific method. Regardless of whether the two parties are sincere in cooperating, as long as they are willing to join forces, they will definitely be able to maximize their own advantages.
Furthermore, although Lin is strong, he also has a solid foundation. But in the Internet field, he is still a complete newcomer. It is not as deep as Hu Yishan, and it does not have a trump card weapon like Xinao Village. Once the two parties join forces, the development of Lin's Internet Department will be greatly curbed.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Zheng's heart relaxed slightly.
This was the first time he faced off against Lin Laoyao head-on. After being exaggerated by the bosses from all sides, Xiao Zheng's heart of Lao Yao Lin is simply the undefeated God of War. To say that I am not nervous at all would be nonsense. But Brother Azheng is not a newbie in the industry. You have a good plan, and I have my own ladder. Let's all show off our talents and see who can have the last laugh!
Boom boom.
The door opened.
Xiao Zheng stood up and faced the distinguished guests at the door.
But as soon as he reached the door, he was surprised by his companion beside Hu Yishan.
"Mr. Tang?" A look of astonishment flashed across Xiao Zheng's face. His eyes narrowed slightly...
