Gu Guolong had already made an appointment with Bao Shisong for tomorrow's meeting. Xu Yun understood the principle of 'don't doubt the person you use', so he wouldn't ask Gu Guolong how he was going to operate or how he was going to solve the problem. He believed that since Gu Guolong had already made arrangements, he would be able to give him a satisfactory answer.
Gu Qiya's mood was also at its best since she returned to Canada. Since her father had made arrangements, she could take Xu Yun around with ease. Now, the threat from the police had been eliminated. After Gu Guolong informed a few of his right-hand men to rearrange people to enter the auto repair factory, the news of Xu Yun taking over the auto repair factory in the 13th Street spread like wildfire in the circle.
In just a short hour, Xu Yun had completely become a well-known figure in the circle. Whether it was the old, the weak, the women, or the middle-aged or the young, everyone was amazed and admired him. The annoying Hindustani was finally driven away, especially the Chinese who relied on the auto repair factory for a living. This news made them even more excited.
In the process of people passing the news to each other, Xu Yun was undoubtedly more mysterious and even mythical. There were even rumors that Xu Yun's appearance was a sign that Old Master Gu was preparing to give up his position, that Xu Yun was the son-in-law who was preparing to marry into the Gu family, that he would marry Gu Qiya, and then take on the responsibility of leading the circle under Gu Guolong. Taking back the auto repair factory was just a way for the future leader to prove his ability and loyalty.
Of course, there were also people who said that Xu Yun was just a passer-by in the circle, and that Gu Guolong would eventually hand the future of the circle to Gu Tianji. Those who said this were basically Gu Tianji's confidants.
Gu Tianji was quite dissatisfied with this matter. Xu Yun's appearance had undoubtedly lowered his prestige in the circle. He had done a lot for the circle. Even if he didn't make any contributions, he had worked hard. However, Xu Yun had only done one thing, and he had received so much praise and recognition. He couldn't accept this fact.
Every time his confidants passed on some rumors to him, he would develop a kind of hatred and disgust toward Xu Yun from the bottom of his heart. It was as if Gu Qiya had suddenly brought this person back to compete with him for the big circle.
Because Gu Guolong was quite satisfied with Xu Yun's performance, Gu Tianji could not find any reason to slander Xu Yun. The only thing he could do was squat in the bar and drink.
The boss of Tang Bar, Tang Cunshan, was one of the people in the big circle who was loyal to Gu Tianji. He was very clear about Gu Tianji's current depression. After Gu Tianji drank a few glasses of vodka in one breath, Tang Cunshan did not pour more into his glass. Instead, he comforted him, "Tianji, we don't have to worry about a newcomer. He doesn't belong to the big circle and will leave sooner or later."
Tang Cunshan was a few years older than Gu Tianji and was one of the few people in the circle who could call him by his name.
Gu Tianji smiled bitterly. "Brother Shan, you haven't seen how much my father and sister appreciate Xu Yun. In their eyes, Xu Yun is like a savior who fell from the sky. I'm not jealous of him. I'm just worried that this guy will cause the big circle to completely fall out with the Dark Angel and become enemies. We all know that a strong dragon can't suppress a snake in its old haunts. It's impossible to fight against the Dark Angel. "
"Old Gu is not a person without ideas. I believe he will understand this. It's impossible for him to fall out with the Dark Angel because of this kid. "Tang Cunshan said," We don't need to worry so much. "
"I thought so at first," Gu Tianji said. "But before the kid with the surname Xu took down the auto repair factory, he contacted Bao Shisong and prepared to negotiate. Bao Shisong is a dog of the Dark Angel. They say that you have to look at the master before beating the dog. If my father falls out with Bao Shisong because of Xu Yun, the Dark Angel will not sit idly by. "
Tang Cunshan could only suck in a breath of cold air. Obviously, he did not want the big circle to go against the Dark Angel. If that happened, his bar would definitely suffer.
A few years ago, the Chinese people of the big circle were forced to leave Vancouver. It was the Dark Angel who ruthlessly punched them. The scene was still vivid in his mind. The bar he opened at that time was also burned down. It was not easy to turn things around after all these years. He did not want to experience that kind of tragedy again.
"Maybe … the Dark Angel won't take Bao Shisong seriously." Tang Cunshan probed. "Old Gu won't kill Bao Shisong, right?"
Gu Tianji said, "Brother Shan, you're just lucky. Even without Bao Shisong. Do you think the Dark Angel will still sit idly by and do nothing to the big circle? That kid has taken care of the Indian Gang. There is no force here that can restrain the big circle. The Dark Angel will definitely find a way to let Bao Shisong restrain the development of the big circle. Only then can they rest easy. The big circle has just destroyed the Indian Gang and dealt with Bao Shisong. Will the Dark Angel not be afraid of our big circle's actions? "
Tang Cunshan kept silent. He sighed in his heart.
"The gun shoots the bird that pokes its head out. The big circle has been slowly developing its power for so long, trying not to alarm the Dark Angel so that they don't have to worry about our existence posing a huge threat to them. That's why the Dark Angel won't restrict our development. "Gu Tianji said," What about now? Will they sit idly by and do nothing? "
Although Tang Cunshan knew that Gu Tianji's words made sense, he also realized a problem. Gu Tianji's thinking was no different from Bao Shisong's. He had already regarded the big circle as a group that needed the Dark Angel's silent existence. If the big circle were to be led by him, it might become just a dog of the Dark Angel.
This thought only lasted for a moment. After all, Tang Cunshan was most concerned about his own interests. Even if the big circle became a lackey of the Dark Angel, his business would not be affected.
"I can't persuade my dad. He has to negotiate with Bao Shisong tomorrow." As Gu Tianji spoke, he tapped his wine glass and motioned for Tang Cunshan to pour wine. "He asked me to go with him. I'm very upset now."
"Old Master Gu asked you to go with him because he trusts you." Tang Cunshan poured another glass for Gu Tianji. "Tianji, you've already drunk a lot. It's better if you don't drink anymore. If Old Master Gu asks you to do something later and sees you drinking so much, he'll definitely be unhappy. "
Gu Tianji picked up his glass and drained it in one gulp. In a disappointed and jealous tone, he said, "Ask me? He doesn't have the time to pay attention to me now. The big circle's life is hanging by a thread, yet he's still in the mood to play Go with that kid surnamed Xu. Hmph, I really don't understand what he's thinking. Is it possible that people at his age are all muddle-headed? "
Tang Cunshan tensed up. "Don't talk nonsense!"
…
Go was a broad and profound game. In the eyes of laymen, it was a game of circles between black and white stones. In the eyes of people with a bit of culture, it was an upgraded version of Gomoku. Only those who truly understood the art of the game understood that the chessboard was a battlefield where thousands of troops and horses were controlled. The placement of the chess pieces was the mystery of war.
Gu Guolong had not played Go with others for a long time because it was difficult for him to find a match in the big circle. Today, he suddenly had a whim and asked Xu Yun if he knew Go. Xu Yun nodded. The two of them began to play Go. Gu Qiya quietly poured tea and waited on them. She knew that a true gentleman should not speak while watching a game.
Although Gu Qiya was definitely not her father's match when playing Go, there was a saying that the onlooker sees the game best. As a bystander, she was very sure that her father had the upper hand in this game of Go. It was almost impossible for him to turn the tables.
