Unlike Lu Dashan, and unlike most of the celebrities and wealthy businessmen here, Mr. Zhao's money was exchanged for his life piece by piece. Although he has invested in some businesses and made some money in recent years. But losses of hundreds of millions would still make Mr. Zhao, who has no outstanding business ability, feel heartbroken. especially. . There was money that was clearly unnecessary and unnecessary to spend, but Xiao Zheng was forced to spend it. How could he not be angry. How could he not want to kill Xiao Zheng quickly
But no. At least not now.
This is his home court, his charity gala, and the night when he enters the business world and completely cleanses himself. The only thing he has to do is keep his promise and donate all the money he promised to charity. Then he would greet every celebrity businessman he would deal with with a smile.
Yes. When he walked onto the stage and announced that he had donated nearly 300 million to charity, it felt like someone had stabbed him in the heart several times. Heartbreaking pain, heartache.
After that, people seemed to have no reason to stay here to enjoy the show. The rich and famous people who had drank a few glasses of wine expressed their gratitude to Mr. Zhao, and then left the dinner party one after another.
Minister Li also had a brief conversation with Mr. Zhao before leaving with a smile. Seems very satisfied with tonight's ending.
"Boss Zhao, you are the most courageous businessman I have ever seen." Lu Dashan walked towards Mr. Zhao with a smile on his face. "We must cooperate if we have the opportunity."
"Thank you, Boss Lu." Mr. Zhao took Lu Dashan's hand in flattery and said humbly. "There are still many places that need your guidance in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Lu Dashan smiled, said goodbye and left.
Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry to leave. When Lu Dashan walked slowly towards the elevator, he walked forward slowly, stared at the livid Mr. Zhao with a half-smile, and said lightly: "The fourth master is really capable. Yesterday He is still the leader, and he has entered the celebrity circle today. He has been cultivated by Minister Li. He has a bright future."
Fourth Master Zhao no longer pretended to be an outsider, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Zheng. You made me lose more than 100 million for no reason tonight."
"Am I so capable?" Xiao Zheng smiled lightly, but stared at Mr. Zhao coldly and ruthlessly. "Maybe you won't mind this little thing soon."
"I think so too." Mr. Zhao said with steady eyes. "Because soon, something worthy of my happiness will happen."
"Are you sure this will happen?" Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed and he pursed his lips.
"Just like I expected that Ye Shiguan would die that night." Mr. Zhao said murderously every step of the way. "I've never failed at this."
"Me too." Xiao Zheng put his hands behind his back and seemed to have a smile on his face. However, in his dark eyes, there was such high murderous intent that no one dared to look at him.
"Azheng."
Suddenly. Not far away, Lu Dashan greeted with a smile: "Come here, the elevator is here."
call. .
The smell of gunpowder in the air suddenly dissipated. Xiao Zheng's face regained its natural look, and Fourth Master Zhao also smiled and nodded to Lu Dashan.
"The answer will be revealed soon." Xiao Zheng dropped this sentence before leaving. It was unclear whether it was a warning or a statement.
Ding dong.
The moment the elevator closed, Xiao Zheng clearly saw the vicious look cast by Mr. Zhao. Even Lu Dashan, who was standing next to Xiao Zheng, smelled a hint of danger. Playing with the taste: "It's so murderous."
"An old gangster who has been on the road for forty years. If he doesn't even have this murderous intention, he might as well switch to killing pigs." Xiao Zheng said angrily.
"You have a showdown with him." In the elevator, Lu Dashan asked meaningfully.
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng nodded lightly.
"You are too hasty." Lu Dashan shook his head and said. "There are some things you just need to know yourself, and you don't have to report them to your opponents."
"He is preparing all the time." Xiao Zheng said every word with a solemn gaze. "The only thing he doesn't know is when I will do it."
"Then when do you plan to take action?" Lu Dashan asked half-jokingly and half-seriously. "It can't be tonight."
Xiao Zheng's eyes glowed brightly, and his knife-like face sank slightly: "It's tonight."
Lu Dashan frowned and asked in disbelief: "Zhao Laosi has arranged a lot of security tonight. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to take action when he is well prepared?"
"He will never let down his guard. On the contrary. When he thinks his situation is safe enough, he will relax." Xiao Zheng said very professionally.
"Qin Shuang must really enjoy chatting with you. Especially the professional knowledge." Lu Dashan sighed.
Xiao Zheng smiled. Said: "I also like chatting with you Aunt Qin. She is a funny and humorous elder."
"Sister is not considered an elder. She is just older than you." Lu Dashan corrected Xiao Zheng's wording.
Ding dong.
During the conversation, the elevator door opened. Just as Lu Dashan was about to go out, he saw Xiao Zheng still staying in the elevator. He couldn't help but curiously asked, "Why don't you come out."
"Going down one level is the parking lot." Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile. "It's a quieter place."
Lu Dashan's eyes lit up and he said solemnly: "I wish you success."
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng closed the elevator door and walked straight to the parking lot with an expressionless face.
…
After seeing off all the guests in the hall, Mr. Zhao finally relaxed his tense nerves and slowly sat on a chair. He lit a cigarette in silence.
Although Xiao Zheng made things difficult tonight and suffered heavy losses as a result. But overall, tonight's charity auction was a success. Minister Li also showed a high level of satisfaction. Although I spent a lot of money, it was still worth it.
At least, he believes that his future business path will be better.
But there is one problem that must be solved quickly.
That is Xiao Zheng.
Fourth Master Zhao has no enmity with Minister Li, nor does he have any deep grudge with Lu Dashan. As long as no one is around to stir up trouble, he is confident that he can establish friendship and build a good relationship with these two big shots. Therefore, both publicly and privately, he must deal with Xiao Zheng, a thorn in his side, as soon as possible.
"Godfather."
Ah Si, who had completed the work, came to Mr. Zhao and said respectfully: "You have been busy all night. It's time for you to go home and rest."
I don’t know whether working all night has poked Mr. Zhao’s weakness, or whether it’s time to go home and rest that triggered Mr. Zhao’s nostalgia. Mr. Zhao suddenly discovered that except for Ah Si, there was not even a single flattering person around him. Some are just endless loneliness and isolation.
Once upon a time, before he made up his mind to surrender, he always made friends and had many followers wherever he went. Even for his unprecedentedly grand sixtieth birthday, he did not participate in any preparations. All he has to do is always show his most glorious side in front of everyone. Drink and have fun with friends from afar.
But now, he no longer has those old brothers around him to drink with him. Drinking with the rich and famous can only be done in a superficial way. Even though tonight is obviously his home field, it is a charity party planned by him. But from beginning to end, he was like a companion, a passerby. He has no initiative and does not receive enough attention. Those rich men care more about Lu Dashan and talking to Minister Li. Even at the table where he was sitting, Minister Li was obviously more willing to make jokes with Xiao Zheng.
To know. After surrendering, Fourth Master Zhao wanted to see Minister Li, but that required an appointment. Each meeting has a time limit. On the contrary, Xiao Zheng, who had no use value for Minister Li, became the focus of the table.
I don’t know whether he saw the atmosphere of the whole dinner, or analyzed something from the complicated expression on Mr. Zhao’s face. Ah Si pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "Godfather. We have sacrificed so much to get to where we are today." Is this step really worth it?”
Strange environment, strange people, strange rules, strange world. Everything has changed. Fourth Master Zhao is no longer the underground king who controls the wind and rain. He doesn't even get the attention he deserves. Even if he is the only host at this dinner. Even tonight, he reluctantly donated 300 million. But it seems that everything he did did not receive corresponding respect.
Minister Li praised him and gave him praise and recognition before leaving. But in Mr. Zhao's view, Minister Li's behavior was just routine. It’s not like the heartfelt gratitude expressed by those old brothers.
Lu Dashan, on the other hand, never showed too many emotions towards Mr. Zhao from the beginning to the end. He seemed easy-going, but in fact he kept a distance from him. It seems that he has no intention of getting close to him.
Of course, even those rich and famous people don't seem to have much interest in Mr. Zhao, a rookie who has just entered the shopping mall. Even Ah Si could see everything clearly. How could Fourth Master Zhao not see clearly
After a brief period of depression and loneliness, Fourth Master Zhao lit a cigarette and said with a steady gaze: "This is just the beginning. It's just the first step. One day, I will let those who look down on me crawl at my feet. Including Lu Dashan,"
Ah Si clenched his fists slightly, pursed his lips and said, "That day will come soon."
When Mr. Zhao heard this, his slightly sullen face relaxed, he stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Okay. Life will always be full of thorns. Ever since I entered the world at the age of fifteen, I have seen too many storms. But every time In all storms, I am always a winner. I have been, am, and will be in the future. I am only sixty years old, and I still have a long way to go. Until the day I enter the coffin, who dares to say that I, Zhao Meng, cannot become a big man? Not to mention a mere Lu Dashan, even Lin Chaotian and Shang Jingtian, one day they will call me Brother Zhao. They will be equal to me."
Ah Si's face was flushed and he said with enthusiasm: "Godfather, do you know what I admire most about you?"
"Which point?" Mr. Zhao asked with a smile.
"Absolute confidence in yourself. A heart that never gives up." Ah Si said solemnly. "Godfather, I will always stay by your side and accompany you to create a new world,"
