According to Jiang Qing's temperament three or five years ago, she probably wouldn't be interested in attending such a high-level gathering. On the one hand, she was not good at socializing. On the other hand, she was stubborn. She felt that as long as she did her job well, everything else was secondary.
However, the ups and downs experienced in the Long Formation over the years, including General Qi's repeated failures in interpersonal relationships, made Jiang Qing understand one thing.
Do your job well. You have to have connections. Otherwise, the Long Formation would still be difficult to make any progress in the future.
After changing into a decent evening dress, Jiang Qing got into the BMW parked in front of the house and glanced at Xiao Zheng calmly. "What did you promise her?"
Xiao Zheng started the car and said with a smile, "Weren't you there at that time? She just asked me to promise one thing. She didn't say what it was. "
Jiang Qing frowned and said, "She asked you to commit suicide. Would you do it?"
The reason why Jiang Qing's expression was cold and serious was because of his personality. Firstly, it was because of his personality. Secondly, he was secretly angry. He was angry that Xiao Zheng didn't give him a way out. He was angry that he had to push Xiao Zheng out.
It was his business if he was capable. Why did Jiang Qing think about him every day?
"Commit suicide?" Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. "She dared to ask for it. Then what I promised her was to send her to hell."
Although his words were overbearing and there was suspicion of betrayal. But Jiang Qing felt very comfortable listening to it. His face softened a little and he pursed his lips. "It's best that you think so."
For a moment, the car fell into silence.
Jiang Qing grabbed a bottle of mineral water and drank two mouthfuls. It eased the awkward atmosphere in the car.
Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, glanced at Jiang Qing from the corner of his eyes, who was wearing an evening gown. It was a great look. Jiang Qing's figure was amazing. After years of training, her thighs were full and straight, her waist was slender, and her hips were perky. Her face was full of energy.
He couldn't help but say, "Wear more skirts in the future. Don't wear a uniform all the time. The lure of a uniform was not to everyone's liking. We have to appeal to the public's taste. "
Jiang Qing was slightly startled, but he thought to himself, So what if it's popular? I purposely dressed up for half an hour today, but you didn't even look twice at me.
She then thought of how Xiao Zheng's eyes would never waver wherever Lin Huayin appeared. It was as if Lin Huayin's beautiful face was a treasure. He just stared at her without blinking.
Even though she was thinking about it, she couldn't say it. He nodded, accepting Xiao Zheng's suggestion.
There was another period of silence. Jiang Qing hesitated for a moment before he suddenly asked, "You've always been fighting as a straggler abroad. How did you adapt to such a life so quickly after returning to China? "
When it came to the working environment, Jiang Qing was more or less bound by rules and regulations. Xiao Zheng could do whatever he wanted. He was completely at ease. Logically speaking, it should be harder for Xiao Zheng to adapt to complicated interpersonal relationships than her.
However, Xiao Zheng had not only become a rising star in the business world in just three years. He had also made friends with a lot of big shots.
Jiang Qing was surprised and curious about this ability. How did Xiao Zheng do it?
"What kind of life is it?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
"A life where everything goes smoothly." Jiang Qing used a very appropriate adjective.
In the process of Jiang Qing and Xiao Zheng's contact, she seemed to rarely see Xiao Zheng at a disadvantage. And every time, he could repeatedly make strange moves and do things that others didn't even dare to think about. What was this if it wasn't being successful?
"Being successful?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and joked. "It seems that I've done well in the past few years. I can get such high praise from Captain Jiang. "
Jiang Qing pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Xiao Zheng glanced at Jiang Qing and knew that she might be in a state of contradiction. He couldn't help but slow down the car and said with a smile, "What do you think is the greatest value of a person's life?"
"Being alive is the greatest value," Jiang Qing, who was used to seeing life and death, said.
"Yes. I agree, "Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "What's the second?"
"To show self-worth," Jiang Qing said.
"What is your self-worth?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"To complete the task assigned by the superior," Jiang Qing said.
"The existence of the Long Formation is to protect the country," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "In other words, the value of your existence is to defend the honor of the country."
Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment. It sounded like that was the case. But it was a little too big.
"I'm not that great," Jiang Qing pursed her lips and said.
"It seems that you are a giant in action and a dwarf in words," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I'm really not as great as you. There is only one reason for what I've done in the past few years. "
"What is it?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
"To protect the people I care about and prevent them from getting hurt," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I've always heard that there is a home when there is a country. But in the era of peace, in my heart, home comes before the country. You can say that I'm an ordinary citizen or selfish. I've always done this. "
Jiang Qing was stunned and shook her head. "This is not selfishness. It's responsibility. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and then said, "People always have to do things that they don't want to do in order to live. You don't have to reject it. Just like on the battlefield, are you willing to watch your own soldiers fall? "
"Of course, if we prepare well before the war and build a good relationship with all parties, maybe we can reduce the damage." Perhaps it can also reduce the damage, "Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "In the big city, we can also accumulate more power by knowing more people. And all this is to protect the people we care about. There is no conflict. "
Jiang Qing nodded, not really understanding. She finally understood why Xiao Zheng had changed so much.
But suddenly, she raised her head and asked word by word, "From what you said, you actually don't like your current life?"
"Nonsense. I have money and status. Who doesn't call me Boss Xiao when they see me? Look at the place I live, a big mansion. It's worth more than 100 million. And look at the place you live, an apartment. Stop it. If I don't like my life, do you think I like yours? "
Jiang Qing was stunned and shook her head. "At least not that much."
Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "You're not trying to encourage me to enter the Long Formation full-time, are you?"
Jiang Qing curled her lips and said, "You're not suitable."
"It's not that I'm not suitable. It's just disdain. "Xiao Zheng said arrogantly. "How can a Long Formation accommodate me?"
After chatting for a while, Xiao Zheng drove to the designated place. However, at the gate, two armed guards stopped Xiao Zheng.
"Sir, please show me your pass." A guard saluted politely. He said in a serious tone.
The people living in the community were all high-ranking officials with powerful backgrounds. They didn't have a pass. Even a rich man like Xiao Zheng, who had been on the news, couldn't get in.
Xiao Zheng didn't say anything and took out the invitation letter given to him by Minister Gong.
The guard looked at it and let him go.
After parking the car, Xiao Zheng and Jiang Qing got out at the same time. After taking two steps, they unexpectedly saw a figure. Xiao Zheng paused and couldn't help but smile. "Enemies really meet on a narrow road."
