Dulin's amazing performance during this period made Handler feel dazzled. In fact, when the conflict between Dulin and Wood broke out, Handler's idea was to abandon Dulin completely and never see him again. Nor would he stand up to save his life when he failed. Because from Heidler's point of view, Dulin's blind conflict with Wood was a very stupid performance. Wood has been operating here for so many years, how could you, a new kid, be able to do it easily? Just push it down? Of all the characters that can be called tycoons, which one is not full of blood
Heidler believed that Dulin might not last more than a week before he would become a corpse floating in the agate river, or disappear without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
But the reversal that followed made Heidler's eyes widen. He couldn't figure out why Wood, who was obviously very powerful, lost without even using his three-pointer, while Dulin was the one who was so unlucky. The boy became the final winner.
Immediately after Godol committed suicide in fear of guilt in the police station, and all arrows pointed to Dulin, Hedler began to study Dulin carefully and everything about him.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that this was a ruthless person who could see opportunities and was good at seizing them. He is very decisive, not decisive like a boy of his age, but like an old man who has been ups and downs many times.
He finally understood what was so great about Du Lin. His greatness lay in his grasp of people's hearts and his keen sense of opportunities. He used the death of the Wood brothers to stimulate Wood and forced Wood to make a choice to face him. There is a common saying among these gang members, called "I rise because of me, and I end because of me." To put it simply, it means not to involve others. Among these people, it also means not to involve family members. .
If Wood hadn't attacked Dulin who was preparing every day because he was unprepared, and if he slowed down his pace and competed with each other little by little, Dulin would have been defeated if he couldn't hold on for three or five battles. But he was too confident and arrogant, which gave Dulin a chance to fight. From the side, it was Wood's arrogance that hurt him, but it can also be said that Dulin lit a fire for him, a fire that was just right.
Later, it affected Godol, who committed suicide in the police station out of fear of crime.
This is a very smart, decisive, and ruthless person. If he can recruit such a person under his command, Heidler feels that his career will be at least two steps higher! So he looked at Du Lin in the depths of his eyes, hiding the urgency that he couldn't suppress. He desperately hoped that Du Lin would nod and give the answer he wanted.
Du Lin avoided his gaze and lowered his head to look at the teacup on the saucer. Some flower petals were floating in the tea soup, slowly stretching under the moisture of the tea soup. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The rich floral aroma and the simple sweetness and sourness gave his taste buds a whole new experience. He took another sip and put the cup back.
"I want to thank you for your hospitality, but what I say next may make you very disappointed." Du Lin nodded slightly, "I am very grateful to you for inviting me. This is my recognition and affirmation. I'm grateful. But you should also know that I can have a full stomach now!"
The latter sentence is actually a metaphor. There is a proverb among the Guart people - "Giving food to poor people can get you gratitude, but giving food to nobles can only get you hostility." The poor may be in a state of not having enough food for a long time because of poverty. If you give them some food so that they can fill their stomachs and go out to find a job or do other things, this is kindness to the poor.
But giving the same thing to a noble is not a help, but an insult. When did nobles need to rely on charity to fill their bellies? If this isn't an insult, what could it be
While Dulin used these words to reject Heidler, he also clearly expressed his attitude, that is, he could never be called someone else's subordinate.
Heidler sighed with regret. If the invitation had been sent out earlier, would there have been a different ending? He didn't know, including Dulin, no one knew whether Dulin, who had just arrived in Turnel City, would refuse Heidler's invitation, but the past was in the past after all, and it was meaningless to discuss the past. Besides, at that time It was impossible for Heidler to know where in the country Dulin came from as a small farmer. Now that Du Lin has grown up, although Du Lin may be a fierce young bird in the eyes of many big shots, he has unlimited potential. Unfortunately, it is too late to let him fight for himself.
After being rejected, Heidler did not discuss the matter of the hometown association again. Now he has understood that the hometown association with Du Lin is the hometown association. Without him, the hometown association is just an empty shell. Although Du Lin cannot be used for his own purposes, it does not prevent possible cooperation between the two.
What followed was some laughter and chit-chat. Heidler casually mentioned an incident that happened in Ordo not long ago. The parade of the new party and the parade of the old party, which were vigorously promoting the mid-term elections, collided. At the same time, under circumstances that neither side expected, a fight broke out between the two teams. Four people were killed and more than 30 people were injured in the conflict, more than a dozen of them seriously.
The governor immediately expressed his opinion on this, saying that some unstable and ulterior motives conspired for this conflict, and he would definitely find evidence and bring these people to justice. Although it was just a casual chat, Dulin had already discovered some problems, such as Heidler's position. It seems that Heidler talked about this matter in a normal way, but you must know that Heidler is a member of the old party, and his father originally defected to the nobles and emperors. However, he described the conflict and the results in such a neutral way. Is he implying something? .
Since taking office, the governor has not had much influence or popularity in the state of Kansas. In this stronghold of the old party, the new governor has obviously been ignored. His efforts in the past two years have changed the situation a little, but it is still worrying. A large number of old parties control cities of all sizes in the state of Kansas. Only three of the nine cities are within the sphere of influence of the new party. This number is so low that it makes people feel frightened.
The bedridden governor still holds great power and firmly controls most of the power and power distribution issues in the state. He has been called the "invisible governor."
Perhaps, this was the reason why Heidler wanted to say this, and Dulin understood it in an instant!
