Mr. Hu.
He was one of the last big shots in Hua Xia in the past decade.
Being able to gain the friendship of such a heavyweight big shot was extremely meaningful to anyone. Not to mention Xiao Zheng, who had just started his career a few years ago.
According to the logic of a normal person, he had no reason to refuse.
But he was Xiao Zheng.
A man who had experienced a completely different life from ordinary people since he was a child.
His so-called consideration was a euphemistic refusal. Mr. Hu must have understood what he said. But he didn't point it out.
Minister Jin looked at Xiao Zheng peacefully. He gradually calmed down. He lit a cigarette, took two puffs and said, "I am not you, so I can't analyze this matter from your point of view. But as far as I'm concerned, I fully support your decision. After all, as you said, you don't like to have too much contact with politics. "
Xiao Zheng looked relieved and nodded, "Thank you for your understanding, Minister Jin."
"My understanding is meaningless." Minister Jin said with a Smile. "The point is that Hu Jianjun is not so easy to deal with. Don't be fooled by his young age, he has a big temper. "
"I can teach him how to use a knife, and I can also be friends with him." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I just don't accept Mr. Hu's suggestion."
"I will help you deal with this matter." Hu Jianjun nodded.
Xiao Zheng wanted to refuse politely and let him explain to Mr. Hu face to face. But it was a little alienating. So he simply kept his mouth shut.
After putting Xiao Zheng out of the car, Minister Jin told the driver to go straight to the destination. Then he picked up his mobile phone and called his old friend Lu Dashan.
"How is it? Is it going well? Ah Zheng, that kid, is quite experienced in dealing with people. Did he get you into trouble? "As soon as the call was connected, Lu Dashan asked a series of questions on the other side of the phone.
Obviously, Lu Dashan had been waiting for this call for a long time.
"Maybe it won't go your way." Minister Jin said with a bitter smile.
"What's wrong?" Lu Dashan's heart skipped a beat. "Did he get into trouble?"
Department Head Jin shook his head and explained patiently, "Not necessarily." "But Xiao Zheng took the initiative to give up Elder Hu's golden finger."
Lu Dashan was startled. He paused for a moment before gritting his teeth and asking, "Give me a reason."
"Let me translate Xiao Zheng's attitude. He doesn't want to be a slave to politics," Minister Jin said.
"Childish!" Lu Dashan was going crazy. "In Hua Xia, what could he have done to bypass all these?"
"Old Lu, why are you so popular?" Minister Jin rolled his eyes and said slowly. "Could it be that Xiao Zheng is your illegitimate child?"
"Heh, I wish he was my illegitimate son." Lu Dashan spat. He paused for a moment, as if he had sorted out his thoughts. "What's going on with Xiao Zheng now?"
"He said that he could be friends with Hu Jianjun. But I can't be the so-called good teacher and helpful friend, "Minister Jin said.
Lu Dashan had regained his composure, and his senses were much sharper. He pursed his lips and said, "If this is his attitude, then he is not stupid."
"How so?" Minister Jin said with a smile.
"The political power of the Hu family is too strong. With Xiao Zheng's current appetite, he can't eat it at all. As long as he decides to get involved, he will definitely become a dependent of the Hu family. In the future, he will be afraid to do things and have no freedom of choice. With Xiao Zheng's character, it is difficult for him to accept such a life. "
After a pause, Lu Dashan continued, "Of course, I believe that Xiao Zheng's biggest dissatisfaction comes from Elder Hu's attitude."
Minister Jin sighed softly and said, "Old Lu, based on our friendship, there are some things that I will not hide from you."
After a moment of wording, Minister Jin continued, "You have to know that Hua Xia is based on official status. People who do business, no matter how big they are. In front of politics, they are always inferior. "
"Elder Hu has been immersed in politics for a lifetime. His thinking has been solidified. He is also used to arranging the lives of others. "
"This is probably the contradiction between the two sides." Lu Dashan said hesitantly. "Old Jin, do you think Elder Hu will have any thoughts about Xiao Zheng because of this?"
Minister Jin shook his head and pursed his lips. "Besides, don't you still have me?"
"I will treat you to dinner later. Let's talk face to face. "
…
It was not even ten o 'clock when he got home.
Elder Lin was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. There was a glass of milk on the coffee table. A few snacks. He drank a little less than half of the milk, but basically did not touch the snacks.
Elder Lin was not greedy, which was probably the best way to maintain his figure.
After having a meal with the high and mighty leader of the Hu family, Xiao Zheng's spiritual strength was quite consumed.
Because it was a conversation that was not equal.
Xiao Zheng did not have the ability to take the initiative to make suggestions. But the other party, from the beginning to the end, controlled the overall situation. He controlled the direction of the meal.
It was a bad feeling. Especially the invitation to Xiao Zheng at the end. From a certain point of view, it put Xiao Zheng in a dilemma.
To make a deal with the devil, he needed to offer his soul.
There was also a price to pay for making a deal with absolute power.
Xiao Zheng knew this very well. So, although he said he would consider it, he had already refused Elder Hu's invitation in his heart.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a little absent-minded, Lin Huayin asked softly, "Didn't you reach an agreement?"
Xiao Zheng let out a rather relaxed smile and gently held Elder Lin's hand. "What kind of result do you want?"
"As long as you are happy." Lin Huayin answered calmly.
Xiao Zheng was stunned, but he gently squeezed Elder Lin's hand. He sighed and said, "This is a contradiction."
"No contradiction." Lin Huayin shook her head.
Xiao Zheng said softly, "Strictly speaking, Elder Hu thinks highly of me. He is willing to offer his friendship to me. But the premise is that I have to be a good teacher and helpful friend to his grandson. "
"He is building a team for Hu Jianjun." Lin Huayin analyzed rationally. "The possibility of Hu Guodong rising to the top is very small. The political environment doesn't allow it either. So, he is preparing to train the third generation. "
Xiao Zheng nodded lightly. He was not surprised by Elder Lin's deep analysis at all. This woman was not only talented in business, but she was also very sensitive to politics. She was not any slower than Xiao Zheng.
"I told Elder Hu that I need some time to think about it." Xiao Zheng caressed the back of Elder Lin's hand.
"So, you rejected it?" Lin Huayin asked.
Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "You can say that."
This woman was sometimes so smart that there was nowhere to hide. He felt a little awkward.
"I remember talking to you about it. This is a very good opportunity. "
Elder Lin's face did not show any joy. He only said calmly.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded and pursed his lips. "When I first heard the news, I was a little excited. I felt like I was full of power and that the world was in my hands. "
Pausing for a moment, Xiao Zheng shook his head and stared straight at Lin Huayin. "But I know that once I agree, "But I know that once I agree, I will no longer be me. And you will change for me. Some are accommodating, some are humble. "
"I don't need you to change."
"You can continue to be cold. Continue to be arrogant. "
"You can ignore others for the rest of your life."
"My queen, I don't want you to step down from the altar."
