After learning some secrets from Ye Canghua that very few people knew, Xiao Zheng's desire for success became stronger and stronger.
Sometimes, success wasn't for glory or to stand out from the crowd. It was because failure was not an option.
Money?
With the current market value of Xin Ao, as long as Xiao Zheng was willing to cash out, even if he squandered money every day, it was enough for him to live for ten lifetimes. And he didn't have to worry about no one taking over. The development space of Xin Ao was more potential than that of Lin's.
Power?
Although Xiao Zheng didn't have the opportunity to talk and laugh with the leaders, his political influence had reached an unprecedented level. In this regard, even Lu Dashan was full of praise for him. Let alone others?
The Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including Mr. Yang, whom he had dealt with and was familiar with. And Mr. Hu, the big boss of Minister Gong. They also looked at him in a new light. They appreciated him very much. Although they hadn't had the chance to meet yet. But as long as Xiao Zheng could move forward bravely on this road, he would eventually have the opportunity to talk and laugh with leaders like Mr. Hu.
Xiao Zheng had everything he should have and shouldn't have.
He was even the youngest major general since the founding of Hua Xia. And since he had a gold star on his shoulder, there was a nickname about him inside the Long Formation: Young Marshal.
Therefore, even if Xiao Zheng, who was 29 years old, announced his retirement today, he would still become a legend in the military, political, and business circles in ten or twenty years. Perhaps he wouldn't be as explosive as Lin Laoyao. But at least in the Jianghu, there would be a place for him.
But it was a pity that Xiao Zheng not only couldn't retire, but also needed to move forward bravely and create a wider world. Because his opponent was the invincible Lin Laoyao!
Ding, ding, ding.
Xiao Zheng, who was working at the desk, received a phone call from Shang Yao.
"Miss Shang, it's not time to eat now." Xiao Zheng held the phone and handed a signed document to Xiao Taohong, who was waiting at the desk.
Then, he waved his hand and gestured for the other party to leave.
On the other side of the phone, Shang Yao did not relax because of Xiao Zheng's teasing. A low and helpless voice came over, "Boss Xiao, don't make fun of me. I'm having a headache over tonight's family gathering. "
"Family gatherings are great." Xiao Zheng smiled. "You know I'm an orphan. I've lived for almost thirty years, and I've never been able to catch a family dinner. "
"Why don't Boss Xiao come over for a free meal? I'm having a headache because there's no one to cover for me. "Shang Yao changed the topic and said mysteriously.
"How can I do that?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and refused. "What's the point of me going there? Moreover — no matter if it's Yan clan or Shang clan, they have a tense relationship with me. "
Shang Yao's voice was slightly low, she pursed her lips and said, "My father will bring Bai Wushuang to attend."
"Forced marriage?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows.
It seemed Shang Jingtian was serious this time.
Furthermore, according to Shang Yao's analysis and Xiao Zheng's conjecture, Yan clan and Bai clan were all in favor of this marriage alliance. Even if Shang Yao was the head of Yan clan, she did not have the right to reject.
"It's about time." Shang Yao smiled bitterly. "Grandpa has decided to personally entertain Bai Wushuang. Everyone else in the clan is also in favor. It looks like I have no other way out. "
"There's nothing I can do." Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "Even if I'm willing to go, I won't be able to get past your uncles and aunts. Secondly, I have no reason to go. "
Xiao Zheng thought to himself: Shang Yao, oh Shang Yao, you're pushing me into a pit of fire.
"You can find my grandpa to reminisce about the past." Shang Yao insisted. "A while ago, grandpa even mentioned you. He praised you for being capable and capable. "
Xiao Zheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. This Shang Yao seemed to be really desperate. How could she even say such a lie?
Yan Shichang praised him behind his back?
It was already good enough that he did not curse. How could he praise him?
Although the relationship between him and Yan clan had eased in the past two years, Xiao Zheng knew what kind of person Yan Shichang was. Even if he was enlightened, how could he praise a young man who he once hated to the bone? It was no different from a fool talking in his sleep.
Xiao Zheng was about to refuse, but Shang Yao said seriously on the other side of the phone, "Boss Xiao. I'll tell you the truth. "
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
"I can't marry Bai Wushuang. Even if he seems to be the most suitable candidate for now. But I understand that this so-called marriage alliance is just an excuse. Once the marriage is successful, my father will use Bai Wushuang to deprive me of my right to speak in the Yan clan. Bai Wushuang will definitely not stand on my side. "Shang Yao said word by word.
"If that's the case, then why didn't you tell your grandfather?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"What's the point of telling him?" Shang Yao asked back. "The descendant of the Zhao clan has already appeared. Even if it's just an old man coming out for a stroll. But the pressure on my grandfather's generation is unimaginable. I'm still young, but my father is a veteran in the business world. Even if he wants to divide my right to speak in the Yan clan. Will grandpa object? "
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng also expressed that he understood.
If even Shang Yao could think of this, how could Yan Shichang not think of it?
But he still supported Shang Jingtian's decision. This could only prove that, in the face of the threat of the descendant of the Zhao clan, Yan Shichang was more willing to believe in his son who was not on good terms with him. Not his granddaughter.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Xiao Zheng asked cautiously.
When Shang Yao seized power, she had the full support of Shang Jingtian. But this time, she did not receive the support of any of the clan members. It could be said that she was deserted by everyone, and had no one to rely on.
In addition, Bai Wushuang was indeed outstanding, it was no wonder that Shang Yao's mood was so low.
She was probably at the end of her rope, right?
"I can convince grandpa not to interfere. He won't give me any pressure. "Shang Yao pursed her lips and said. "But I don't have enough capital to go against the entire clan. Once I refuse, I will be completely isolated. Including grandpa, he will not support me. "
If that's the case, Shang Yao will completely lose power.
Shang Jingtian was indeed an old fox, scheming and astute. Once the descendant of the Zhao clan appeared, he would use this opportunity to rope in Bai Ziwen and seize the power of his daughter, Shang Yao. Xiao Zheng even believed that Shang Jingtian must have promised his younger brother and sister benefits. He wanted them to join hands to force Shang Yao to submit. Otherwise, Shang Yao would not have fought with her life on the line, and ended up like this.
"Moreover." Shang Yao's voice was rather low, she pursed her lips and said. "Just the day before yesterday, Qiu Shou gave me a call."
"She looked for you?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously. "What's her motive?"
"She wants to join hands with me to destroy the Bai clan." Shang Yao said word by word. "That's exactly what I had in mind back then …"
This woman, Qiu Shou, is really too vicious!
Her grasp of human nature is also very ingenious!
She can actually calculate everyone's intention, and then make the most accurate judgment!
Once Shang Yao is seduced by her, wouldn't the situation become even more complicated, and more advantageous to the descendant of the Zhao clan?
At this moment, Xiao Zheng's heart could not help but become nervous.
"You — — promised her?"
Xiao Zheng asked with a bitter expression.
