In the Xiaoshan Cemetery on the outskirts of Longcheng, Gu's mother and Gu Tongshan were buried together. From then on, they shared the glory of the sun and the moon, and slept with the mountains and rivers.
In front of the tomb, relatives and friends who came to pay their respects laid flowers or knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Gu Baishun took off his mourning clothes and threw them into the brazier to burn.
At the back of the crowd, Su Tianyu, wearing a suit and sunglasses, stood on the winding stone road, and could feel the cool breeze blowing on the back of his neck.
Perhaps Gu Tongshan missed him too much, so when he went to pick up his wife, he came over to take a look at him to see if he could take him away as well.
After all, he died at the hands of Su Tianyu, so he felt a little uncomfortable with this cemetery. Seeing that the burial ceremony was almost over, he followed the crowd and walked down the mountain.
It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning.
Su Tianyu stood next to the car, with his hands in his pockets, waiting.
"Tianyu!" Gu Baishun came down the mountain with his relatives and friends and took the initiative to say hello over here.
"Hey!" Su Tianyu nodded.
"Brother Feng, you guys take the guests back first and have dinner as usual." Gu Baishun turned around and said, "I will take the same car with them."
"Okay." Niu Feng responded.
A few minutes later, Gu Baishun got into Su Tianyu's car and sat in the passenger seat.
"My condolences." Su Tianyu said to him and drove down the mountain himself.
Wherever there is a cemetery, the green plants are very lush and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
The two sat in the car, enjoying the scenery along the way and chatting all the way.
"I don't want to rush you at this time, but the problem of the Coders Association can't be delayed any longer and must be solved as soon as possible." Su Tianyu sighed, "Let's finish it sooner and get it done sooner."
"Well, we can't delay any longer." Gu Baishun agreed.
"We will let bygones be bygones for what you did to Brother Wei before. After all, your situation was indeed difficult at the time, and the result was not bad." Su Tianyu said seriously, "But from now on, during our cooperation, you can't hide anything from us."
"Even if Jing Yan hadn't been transferred out, I wouldn't have touched Brother Wei." Gu Baishun explained: "I did it to him because I had no choice at the time, in order to hold Jing Yan back."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Su Tianyu changed the subject: "Let's talk about the follow-up plan."
"What do you think?"
"Zhang Ming is hiding in the garrison headquarters like a turtle. He is impossible to kill and impossible to defend against. It's very troublesome." Su Tianyu said with a frown.
"Yes, Kang Dinghuang and Lao Tan are willing to give him financial support, but he is hiding behind the scenes to control it. We really can't do anything about it." Gu Baishun nodded in agreement: "We have to find a way to get him out as well."
The two of them had a good understanding, and Su Tianyu immediately followed up with a sentence: "What do you think about bypassing Zhang Ming and having the Coders Association hold a referendum to remove Zhang Ming and elect a new president?"
Gu Baishun's eyes lit up: "What a good idea! In this way, if Zhang Ming wants to protect the market, he must show up. If he doesn't show up, we can directly elect a new president. It's a win-win situation!"
Su Tianyu paused: "The question is... do we have enough cards in our hands?"
"It should be enough." Gu Baishun thought for a while: "Look, since the internal strife of the Coders Association began, the other side has never gained any advantage. Kang Dinghuang was driven away, Zhou Peng died, and now Jing Yan has also ascended to heaven. Although there have been some twists and turns in the middle, the initiative has always been on our side... In addition, Zhang Ming is like a turtle grandson, and he doesn't even dare to show his face, causing many fence-sitters in the association to lose confidence in him. Therefore, now as long as we are willing to spend money to fight for it, and are willing to give important positions and resources, it will not be difficult to win over a certain number of senior executives."
Su Tianyu nodded slowly.
"At least it's not difficult to start a referendum." Gu Baishun explained softly: "Since the establishment of the Coders Association, there has been no record of the president being directly dismissed. But there are regulations in our association. If the elders vote more than half, the presidents of the sixteen districts vote more than half, and the senior backbones with ten years of membership vote more than half, then the president can be dismissed and a new round of referendum can be started."
Su Tianyu looked at him and said, "Then let's do it. Gather votes as soon as possible, start the referendum as soon as possible, and force Zhang Ming to come out to protect the market."
"Okay, after the funeral is over today, Brother Wei and I will start working on this." Gu Baishun nodded immediately: "You guys also need to prepare some funds, this is going to cost a lot of money."
"No problem. The leader will not save money that should be spent." Su Tianyu replied.
"Okay, I'll take out the specific plan and the list, you take a look, if there's no problem, we'll get started." Gu Baishun paused and said, "In two weeks at most, we'll get things started."
"Okay!" Su Tianyu agreed immediately.
"There is one more thing!" Gu Baishun said thoughtfully, "Our opponent this time is different. Zhang Ming's own power can be ignored, but there may be a warlord standing behind him. We have to be on guard against Commander Tan who will do something desperate after losing. If he really plays dirty, it will be difficult for us to deal with him. After all, political power comes from the barrel of a gun!"
"I will discuss this matter with my supervisor."
"Okay, that's it."
The two discussed the details along the way and felt that time passed very quickly. It seemed that they returned to the reception hotel in a short while.
"Let's go, let's get off the car and have a meal together." After the car stopped, Gu Baishun called out.
Su Tianyu waved his hand: "I won't go, I have something else to do with the Coast Guard."
"Okay, then you go back and we can communicate over the phone." Gu Baishun waved his hand.
"Okay, I'll go first." Su Tianyu picked up the opportunity and was about to leave while speaking.
Outside the car, Gu Baishun glanced at Su Tianyu's profile and suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Su Tianyu turned his head and looked at him again.
"Haha!" Gu Baishun grinned and stretched out his hand to scratch his nose: "Xiao Yu, there is something I have been thinking about whether to say it or not."
"What's the matter?" Su Tianyu looked a little confused.
Gu Baishun put one hand in his trouser pocket, turned his head and sighed: "Alas, I have come to this day, and the end is that my family is broken up. As for me, even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about those uncles and brothers who have always helped me...!"
Su Tianyu looked at him without saying anything, just waiting for the next words.
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Baishun suddenly smiled and looked at Su Tianyu and asked, "Suppose our plan succeeds and I finish the job... Then my result... won't be the same as Jing Yan's, right? Haha, no way?"
Su Tianyu was stunned when he heard this.
Gu Baishun bent over and leaned his upper body into the car: "If there really comes such a day... you have to promise me one thing, don't mess with those who follow me, okay?"
