As soon as the call was connected, Tang Qingshan's low voice came from the other side: "What is it?"
Hearing Tang Qingshan's tone, Hu Yishan knew that his old friend was not in a good mood. He didn't ask further and said directly: "Xiao Zheng asked me to meet him tonight."
"He agreed?" Tang Qingshan's expression changed, his eyes glimmered.
"I'm not sure yet" Hu Yishan shook his head. "But since he asked me out, he must have something in mind."
Tang Qingshan nodded and fell into deep thought.
"Old Tang" Hu Yishan paused and said hesitantly. "Can I discuss something with you?"
"What is it?" Tang Qingshan was annoyed, so he said casually.
"Come here?" Hu Yishan bit his lips and said.
"Come here?" Tang Qingshan's expression changed, his pupils dilated. "You want me to go with you to meet Xiao Zheng?"
Hu Yishan could hear the surprise and caution in Tang Qingshan's voice, so he said: "I know it's too risky for you."
"It's not risky" Tang Qingshan frowned. "It's seeking death."
Tang Qingshan and Hu Yishan were close, but kept a low profile. If there was nothing important, they would not meet for a year or two. Every time they met in private, there was always something important to discuss. All these years, the two of them communicated with each other and supported each other. They formed an alliance in the dark.
But this relationship could only be carried out in the dark. Once it was exposed, not only would Tang Qingshan be kicked out by Lin Chaotian, even Hu Yishan would suffer a great loss. After all, he had spent a lot of effort on Tang Qingshan over the years. Until now, he hadn't even recovered half of his investment.
"The higher the risk, the higher the return." Hu Yishan said confidently. "All these years, you've been doing well in the Lin family. If this continues, I won't encourage you to change. But you know the current situation, it's not good for you, or even for me. Lin Laoyao arranged for that woman to take over your department, one of them was to punish you. Two, wasn't it to remove the obstacles for Little Lin Zhu? "
"A new ruler brings his own subordinates. Will Lin Laoyao let you assist Little Lin Zhu? "Hu Yishan said. "Think about it, Old Tang. What would the Lin family become in the future? In the Lin family, can you still be under one person like before? "
"There can be no construction without destruction. You will continue to sink into the Lin family. In the future, it's highly likely that you'll be relegated to the second line along with Lin Laoyao, "Hu Yishan said in a deep voice as he displayed his trump card. "You're five years younger than Lin Laoyao. Are you willing? "
Tang Qingshan's eyes lit up, he pursed his lips and said: "I can still work for another 20 years."
"Lin Laoyao won't allow you to work in the Lin family for 20 years," Hu Yishan said word by word. "Autumn Harvest was hired by Lin Laoyao to take care of you old officials. Once she sets up a new team for Lin Xiaozhu, it is the time for you to abdicate. Perhaps your career will be even shorter than Lin Laoyao's. "
Tang Qingshan fell silent on the other side of the phone.
Hu Yishan lit a cigarette and waited for Tang Qingshan to continue.
He needed Tang Qingshan's help.
Without this old friend, he wouldn't have the courage to face the terrifying Lin Laoyao. Moreover, Hu Yishan also knew that Tang Qingshan held Dong Bijun's lifeline.
A strong alliance was the safest and most reliable formation. Only then would he have the power to deal with them, and leave a path of retreat for himself. Otherwise, once the battle begins, it will be like a bow that's drawn to a full moon, life and death will be decided.
"What can I do?" Tang Qingshan took a deep breath and asked.
"Declare your position," Hu Yishan sighed in relief. "Let Xiao Zheng see our strength. Make him wholeheartedly ally with us. He should understand that without our help, he won't be able to fight against the Lin family. "
"Do you trust him?" Tang Qingshan asked. "Aren't you afraid that he'll expose our relationship?"
"He's a businessman. Before doing anything, the first thing he has to consider is the gains and losses, "Hu Yishan explained. "Only by joining forces with us can he resist the Lin family's encirclement. Otherwise, he'll be in a very difficult situation. And as far as I know, the conflict between him and Lin Laoyao can't be resolved at all. Do you think he'll tip Lin Laoyao off? "
"Actually. In this world, the one who wants Lin Laoyao to fall the most isn't you or me. It's him, "Hu Yishan concluded.
"I'll go."
Tang Qingshan finally made up his mind.
He had no choice but to do so.
Qiu Shou's sudden appearance in the Lin family greatly weakened Tang Qingshan's authority in the family. Because of this, he took the initiative to talk to Lin Laoyao once. But the result wasn't ideal. Lin Laoyao didn't give him any promises. This made Tang Qingshan very disappointed. He also knew that this was the reality.
The next Sect Leader of the Lin family would most likely be Little Builder Lin. Most of the core members of the Lin family, including the upper echelons, would stay, or even be promoted. However, a powerful elder like Tang Qingshan could not be allowed to live.
A master with great influence was dangerous. Lin Laoyao couldn't plant a ticking time bomb around his successor. Unless Tang Qingshan disarmed the detonator himself. He had to give up his main duties and assist Little Builder Lin as an advisor.
This was the choice that Lin Laoyao gave him.
But would Tang Qingshan do that? Would he be willing to give up the empire that he had spent half his life building just like that?
He definitely wouldn't.
So every time a new Emperor ascended the throne, he would have to "kill" a group of old officials and promote a group of confidants. Even if they were blood brothers, he would have to wield the butcher's knife when necessary.
If he didn't "kill" them, the empire wouldn't be stable.
Facing the inevitable path of history, Tang Qingshan wouldn't give in. So his only choice was to cooperate with Hu Yishan. To fight for the share that he deserved.
…
The place that Xiao Zheng picked was obviously Longfeng Restaurant. Firstly, the food and drinks were free, and secondly, it was private. It was the safest location.
Xiao Zheng came to Longfeng Restaurant earlier to arrange dinner, then ordered someone to bring a pot of Pu 'er and drank it with some snacks. Cooperating with Hu Yishan's Giant Peak Network was the most labor-saving and scientific method. Regardless of the sincerity of the two sides, as long as they were willing to cooperate, they would definitely be able to maximize their advantages.
Furthermore, although the Lin family was powerful and had a solid foundation. But in the Internet field, they were still a complete newcomer. They weren't as solid as Hu Yishan, and they didn't have a trump card like Xin Ao Village. Once the two sides worked together, it would greatly restrict the development of the Lin family's Internet department.
With that in mind, Xiao Zheng's heart slightly relaxed.
This was the first time he faced Lin Laoyao head-on. After being embellished by various big shots, in Xiao Zheng's mind, Lin Laoyao was basically an undefeatable God of War. To say that he wasn't nervous at all would be nonsense. But Xiao Zheng wasn't a newbie in the industry either. If you have a plan, I naturally have a ladder to climb over the wall. Let's see who can laugh in the end!
Dong dong.
The door opened.
Xiao Zheng stood up and welcomed the distinguished guests at the door.
But as soon as he reached the door, he was shocked by Hu Yishan's companion.
"Mr. Tang?" Xiao Zheng's face flashed with astonishment. He squinted his eyes …
