The next morning, there was a knock on Su Tianyu's door. He opened the door and saw Wu Boxin standing outside, looking at him with a smile: "Want to chat for a while, Director Su?"
"Hey, President Wu, hehe, I should go find you..." Su Tianyu immediately made way: "Come on, come in!"
"Haha, okay!" Wu Boxin walked into the room.
"Look at me. I just got up and my room is a bit messy. Let's go to the study..."
Su Tianyu invited Wu Boxin into the study, asked him to sit on the sofa, and then called to Hou Guoyu: "Monkey, make some tea."
"Okay." Hou Guoyu in the living room replied.
"Alas." Wu Boxin sighed and crossed his legs while sitting on the sofa. "I wanted to chat with you yesterday at the wine table, but I didn't expect... things to be so messed up. I got up early this morning and thought carefully. We should meet to discuss the establishment of the new association."
Su Tianyu reached out and took out a new tea set from the hotel, lowered his head and fiddled with the cup, and nodded slowly: "You go ahead!"
No matter what, Su Tianyu was still very polite to Wu Boxin. After all, he had a huge influence on Districts 2 and 3, so he took so much effort to get him out of Gwen's hands.
"Hey, you said this matter. To be honest, I was also confused at the time." Wu Boxin said with emotion: "As soon as I got off the ship, I was sent to the Chinese Workers' Union. Tell me, what do I know? I thought the Chinese Workers' Union was the leading unit."
Su Tianyu immediately replied after hearing this: "At the beginning, we were discussing cooperation among three parties. Since the Chinese Workers' Union had an insider in Manchester, everyone agreed to let them serve as the main rescue team. However, the Chinese Workers' Union was able to successfully approach your villa because we have nearly a hundred brothers outside who set up a platform for them. This is also the reason why Brother Qiu from the An system lost control of his emotions last night. To be honest, my second brother almost got into trouble in this incident... There is a reason why the people below are so emotional, President Wu."
Wu Boxin listened to Su Tianyu's words and nodded slowly: "Yes, you have indeed paid a lot to rescue my father and me."
At this point, the two were silent for a while, and Wu Boxin immediately changed the subject: "After I came here, I actually talked to Lao Huo twice. How should I put it? His and I have very consistent political ideas in the general direction, and the new association structure he told me... is also clear and feasible."
Su Tianyu was slightly startled when he heard this. He knew that Wu Boxin was telling him in a tactful way that he had already finished talking with Huo Dongsheng and they had reached a consensus on the establishment of the new association.
This is why Huo Dongsheng secretly brought Wu Boxin over. It took him only two or three days to get Old Wu to stand on his side.
Su Tianyu smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that in just two days, President Wu and President Huo have reached a consensus?"
Wu Boxin put his hands in his pockets and chuckled as he said, "Xiao Su, to be honest, Lao Huo's way of doing things is much more tactful than Lao Li, who is a radical."
Su Tianyu knew clearly that Wu Boxin was telling him openly that his political philosophy was different from Lao Li's.
"I also know that everyone has emotions in their hearts, and I personally can understand." Wu Boxin persuaded softly: "But Xiao Su, the establishment of a new association is a big deal that can involve the vital interests of overseas Chinese. There is an old saying that goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. For leaders like you, you must pay more attention to the overall situation. Only by gathering absolute strength can we accomplish things. So I personally hope that the Chinese Workers' Association and you can still maintain close contact, unite as a front, and work together to get this thing done. From my personal point of view, money and power are no longer my main life goals. In the remaining time, I want to do something practical."
Su Tianyu turned his head and looked at him, just smiled but didn't say anything. It was obvious that he did not agree with Wu Boxin's opinion.
Wu Boxin looked at Su Tianyu, paused for a moment, and continued, "If you feel that it's unbalanced, then let's do this. Old Huo promised me that I would be in charge of the management structure of the new association. You tell me the number of people, and I will never bargain. Let's get things done together."
Su Tianyu rubbed his palms and said, "Mr. Wu, the problem of conflict and emotion is not here. If trust cannot be established, then the new association will be a mob in my opinion..."
…
About an hour later, Su Tianyu smiled and sent Wu Boxin out the door. As soon as Wu Boxin left, Su Tianyu's smile disappeared without a trace.
Ten minutes later, An Qiqi and Yu Mingyuan came to Su Tianyu's room.
Su Tianyu lit a cigarette and repeated exactly what he had talked about with Wu Boxin.
"Okay, now it's clear." An Qiqi was also angry, but she remained calm and summarized Wu Boxin's meaning: "He came here to tell you two things. First, he and Huo Dongsheng are now in the same group, and their positions will not change. Second, he is trying to make a deal and persuade us to accept the current result."
When Yu Mingyuan heard this, he stared at the floor and said nothing.
Su Tianyu walked to the window, put his hands behind his back, and said softly: "I just want to find out if there is anyone standing behind Huo Dongsheng."
"Are you talking about the attitude of the upper echelons?" Yu Mingyuan lowered his head and said softly.
"Of course!" Su Tianyu looked at the scenery outside the window: "If Huo Dongsheng has no support, then there is still room for easing this matter, but if there is, then it will be troublesome."
"If the upper echelons support Huo Dongsheng, then we can only give up." An Qiqi said objectively: "But... even without the support of the upper echelons, we are now in a passive position. Because the core figure Wu Boxin has already taken a position, and it is difficult to win over."
Wu Boxin was in Huo Dongsheng's hands after all, which made the Quantong Bureau and the Security Department very passive. Huo Dongsheng still wanted to win the cooperation of the three companies, so he held a celebration party and a meeting. If Su Tianyu and the others didn't want to play, Huo Dongsheng would simply give up the cooperation and rely on Wu Boxin's influence in the second and third districts, as well as the strength of the Chinese Workers, to form a new association with great influence.
This is why Huo Dongsheng would rather offend the Quantong Bureau and the An faction in order to secretly transfer Wu Boxin and seize the initiative in negotiations.
An Qiqi blinked and said softly: "In fact, Wu Taiyong's role is also very important..."
Su Tianyu turned his head and looked at her: "You are close to him, you should take care of this line, don't communicate with him yet."
"Yeah!" An Qiqi nodded.
Su Tianyu lowered his head, pondered carefully for a while, and said with a frown: "If Huo Dongsheng is determined to threaten the emperor to control the princes, then... then this person... will bring us a lot of resistance."
Yu Mingyuan lowered his head, staring blankly at the ground, and said in a hoarse voice: "I think he is an obstacle."
