Unlike Lu Dashan and most of the celebrities and wealthy businessmen present, Mister Zhao's money was exchanged with his life piece by piece. Although he had invested in some businesses in recent years and made some money. But the loss of hundreds of millions would still make Mister Zhao, whose business ability was not outstanding, extremely pained. Especially — some money clearly did not need to be spent, and there was no need to spend it, but it was forced out by Xiao Zheng. How could he not be angry? How could he not want to kill Xiao Zheng as soon as possible?
But he could not. At least not now.
This was his home ground, his charity party, and the night he entered the business world and completely washed his name. The only thing he had to do was to keep his promise and donate all the money he promised to the charity. Then he would greet every celebrity businessman he would interact with in the future with a smile.
Yes. When he walked on the stage and announced that he would donate nearly 300 million to charity, his heart felt as if it was stabbed by a knife. The heart-wrenching pain and heartache.
After that, there seemed to be no reason for people to continue to stay here to enjoy the show. The celebrities and wealthy people who drank a few glasses of wine expressed their gratitude to Mister Zhao one after another and then left the banquet scene.
After a brief conversation with Mister Zhao, Minister Li also left with a Smile. He seemed to be very satisfied with the outcome of the night.
"Boss Zhao, you are the most courageous businessman I have ever seen." Lu Dashan smiled as he walked towards Mister Zhao and said with a face full of smiles. "If there is a chance, we must cooperate."
"Thank you, Boss Lu, for thinking so highly of me." Mister Zhao was flattered as he held Lu Dashan's hand and said humbly. "In the future, there will be many areas where I need your guidance."
"Well said, well said." Lu Dashan smiled and left.
Xiao Zheng was not in a hurry to leave. When Lu Dashan slowly walked towards the direction of the elevator, he slowly stepped forward and stared at the livid Mister Zhao with a smile that was not a smile. He said lightly, "Mister Zhao is really capable. Yesterday you were the leader, and today you have entered the circle of celebrities. You have been cultivated by Minister Li. You have a promising future. "
Without outsiders, Mister Zhao no longer pretended and said in a low voice, "Xiao Zheng. You made me lose more than 100 million for no reason tonight. "
"Do I have that much ability?" Xiao Zheng smiled indifferently, but his gaze was cold and emotionless as he stared at Mister Zhao. "Perhaps you will soon forget such trifles."
"I think so too," Mister Zhao said calmly. "Because very soon, something worthy of my happiness will happen."
"Are you sure this will happen?" Xiao Zheng's eyes flashed as he pursed his lips.
"Just like I expected Ye Shiguan to die that night." Mister Zhao said with killing intent. "I have never failed in this aspect."
"Me too." Xiao Zheng had his hands behind his back. He seemed to be smiling, but his pitch-black eyes were filled with killing intent. No one dared to look him in the eye.
"Xiao Zheng."
Suddenly. Not far away, Lu Dashan smiled and said, "Come here, the elevator is here."
Hu — —
The smell of gunpowder in the air suddenly dissipated. Xiao Zheng's face returned to normal. Mister Zhao also smiled and nodded to Lu Dashan.
"The answer will be revealed soon." Xiao Zheng left this sentence before he left. It was unclear whether it was a warning or a statement.
Ding dong.
The moment the elevator closed, Xiao Zheng clearly saw Mister Zhao's vicious eyes. Even Lu Dashan, who was standing next to Xiao Zheng, also felt a hint of danger. He pondered and said, "What a heavy killing intent."
"An old gangster who has been in the underworld for forty years. If he doesn't even have this killing intent. He might as well switch to killing pigs. "Xiao Zheng said in a strange tone.
"You have a showdown with him?" In the elevator, Lu Dashan asked meaningfully.
"Mhmm." Xiao Zheng nodded lightly.
"You are too impatient." Lu Dashan shook his head and said. "There are some things that you only need to know. There is no need to report to the opponent."
"He is preparing all the time." Xiao Zheng's eyes were dignified and he said word by word. "The only thing he doesn't know is when I will make my move."
"When are you going to make your move?" Lu Dashan asked half-jokingly and half-seriously. "It won't be tonight, right?"
Xiao Zheng's eyes lit up, and his knife-like face slightly sank. "It is tonight."
Lu Dashan frowned and asked incredulously, "Zhao Laosi has arranged a lot of security tonight. Is it not too irrational to make a move when he is prepared? "
"He will never relax his vigilance. On the contrary. When he thinks that his situation is safe enough, he will relax a little, "Xiao Zheng said in a professional manner.
"Qin Shuang must like chatting with you. Especially this professional knowledge. "Lu Dashan sighed.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said. "I also like chatting with your Auntie Qin. She's a funny elder. "
"Sister is not an elder. Just older than you. "Lu Dashan corrected Xiao Zheng's words.
Ding dong.
During the conversation, the elevator door opened. Lu Dashan was about to go out, but he saw that Xiao Zheng was still in the elevator. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why don't you come out?"
"One floor down is the parking lot." Xiao Zheng slightly narrowed his eyes and smiled. "That is a relatively quiet place."
Lu Dashan's eyes lit up, and he solemnly said, "I wish you success."
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng closed the elevator door and went straight to the parking lot with no expression on his face.
…
After sending off all the guests in the hall, Mister Zhao finally relaxed his tense nerves and slowly sat on a chair. He silently lit a cigarette.
Although they encountered Xiao Zheng's difficulties tonight and suffered heavy losses. But overall, tonight's charity auction was still a success. Minister Li also showed a high degree of satisfaction. Although he spent a lot of money, it was worth it.
At least, he believed that in the future on the road of business, his road would be easier to walk.
But there was a problem that must be solved as soon as possible.
That was Xiao Zheng.
Mister Zhao and Minister Li had no enmity, and there was no deep hatred between him and Lu Dashan. As long as no one fanned the flames, he was confident that he could establish a friendship with these two big shots and build a good relationship. Therefore, whether it was for official or personal reasons, he had to get rid of Xiao Zheng as soon as possible.
"Godfather."
After finishing the work, Ah Si came to Mister Zhao's side and said respectfully, "I've been busy all night. You should go home and rest. "
It was unknown whether the busy night poked Mister Zhao's soft spot, or whether it was the time to go home and rest that triggered Mister Zhao's nostalgia. Mister Zhao suddenly found that apart from Ah Si, there was no one around to flatter him. There was only endless loneliness and solitude.
In the past, before he made up his mind to surrender, where didn't he call friends and have many followers? Even for the grand and unprecedented 60th birthday, he didn't participate in any preparation work. What he wanted to do was always to show the most glorious side in front of everyone. To drink and have fun with friends from afar and laugh heartily.
But now, he no longer had those old brothers around him to drink with him. Drinking with those celebrities and rich people, he could only drink a little. Even if tonight was clearly his home ground, a charity party that he had planned. But from the beginning to the end, he was like a guest, a passerby. He didn't have the initiative, and he didn't get enough attention. Those rich people cared more about Lu Dashan and talking with Minister Li. Even at his table, Minister Li was obviously more willing to jest with Xiao Zheng.
One had to know. After the surrender, Mister Zhao needed to make an appointment to see Minister Li. There was also a time limit for each meeting. On the contrary, Xiao Zheng, who had no value to Minister Li, became the focus of this table.
He didn't know if it was because he saw the atmosphere of the entire dinner party, or from the complicated expression on Mister Zhao's face, Ah Si thought for a moment and said slowly, "Godfather. We've sacrificed so much to get to this point, is it really worth it? "
A strange environment, strange people, strange rules, strange world. Everything had changed. Mister Zhao was no longer the underground king who could summon the wind and rain. He didn't even get the attention he deserved. Even if he was the only host of this dinner party. Even if he endured the pain of donating 300 million tonight. But it seemed that everything he did didn't receive the corresponding respect.
Minister Li praised him and gave him praise and recognition before he left. But in Mister Zhao's view, Minister Li's behavior was just routine work. He wasn't grateful from the bottom of his heart like those old brothers.
Lu Dashan didn't show much emotion to Mister Zhao from beginning to end. He seemed easy-going, but in fact, he kept a distance from him. It seemed that he didn't intend to have a deep relationship with him.
Of course, those celebrities and rich people didn't seem to be very interested in Mister Zhao, a rookie who had just entered the business world. Even Ah Si could see everything clearly. How could Mister Zhao not see it clearly?
After a short period of gloominess and loneliness, Mister Zhao lit a cigarette and said with a calm gaze, "This is just the beginning. It's just the first step. One day, I will make those who look down on me crawl under my feet. Including Lu Dashan! "
Ah Si slightly clenched his fist and pursed his lips, "That day will come very soon."
Hearing this, Mister Zhao's slightly solemn face relaxed. He slowly got up and said with a smile, "Alright. Life will always be full of thorns. Since I stepped into the pugilistic world at the age of 15, I've seen too many storms and waves. But in every storm, I'm the winner. I was, am, and will be in the future. I'm only 60 years old, and I still have a long way to go. Until the day I enter the coffin, who dares to say that I, Zhao Meng, can't become a great person? Not to mention a mere Lu Dashan, even Lin Chaotian, Shang Jingtian, one day, they will also call me Big Brother Zhao. They will be on equal footing with me. "
Ah Si's face was flushed, and his blood was boiling as he said, "Godfather, do you know what I admire the most about you?"
"What?" Mister Zhao asked with a smile.
"Absolute confidence in myself. A heart that will never give up. "Ah Si said solemnly. "Godfather, I will always stay by your side and accompany you to fight a new world."
