Chapter 208 Because Of Wendy
I didn't intend to hold back Anzhi what happened, so I told him the whole thing including Shaoping Gong's meeting with me in the evening to reconcile.
However, I didn't tell that I kissed Wendy.
It was not a proper thing to talk with an old man.
After listening to my words, Anzhi snorted coldly: "How haughty the Gong Family is. Obviously, you did not break Zhengwen Gong's leg. How could they threaten you with a gun?"
"I guess they think Bansha and I work together. Moreover, even if they know that it wasn't me, they will also make trouble for me, because I had direct conflict with Zhengwen."
"Well, they are too overbearing. Do they think they're law enforcement agencies?"
"Well, even Shaoping, a 40-50-year-old man, who came to see me today, is also very domineering."
Anzhi took out a cigar from the box next to him. While he picked up the cigar scissors and cut off both ends, he said, "I was a little busy before, so I didn't have time to deal with Zhengwen. It seemed I should put it on the agenda soon."
I shook my head: "Anzhi, it's better to be careful about this kind of thing. You should not make yourself get involved. It's not worthy."
Anzhi put the cigar into his mouth and lit it, blowing a puff of smoke. He said faintly, "Don't worry. I am not stupid. I will not take action rashly unless there is absolutely good opportunity. Besides, I would like to take different ways, definitely not simple and crude ways as you may take."
"I'm not young now. I can't afford to play in this way. In addition, I can't compare with the Gong Family in terms of money or other things. However, I will find other ways, and I believe that I will find a golden opportunity one day. Before that I will take it slowly and deal with the Gong Family step by step."
"I will revenge Zhenwen for kidnapping my wife and children sooner or later."
I heard something else in Anzhi's words. He only hated Zhengwen before, but now he mentioned the Gong Family.
Obviously, he either started to change his attitude, or deliberately spoke it to me to encourage and comfort me.
With all experiences in his age, he should not do anything impulsive. I guessed that his other ways to deal with the Gong family aimed at the commercial ones, or he could dig out the hidden things of the Gong family and make use of it.
The former was less likely because Gong Family was a shareholder of Yufeng Group. Although Yufeng Group also invested in real estate, it was neither the main business, nor Yufeng Group did it by itself. Therefore, Anzhi and they even had no legal competition opportunities at the commercial level, let alone starting a commercial war.
Unless Anzhi got engaged in a similar industry with Yufeng Group.
However, Anzhi's company seemed much smaller in the face of Yufeng Group. Even if there was a competitive relationship, it was still difficult for him to win over the Yufeng Group under the legal premise.
Therefore, Anzhi should adopt the second method, that was, to dig out shady things of the Gong Family, as many as possible.
It was better to send all the people in charge of the Gong Family to prison, so as to relieve hatred and in the mean time not to worry about their revenge.
However, it could take a long time.
After a while, we stopped talking about the Gong family and started discussing our cooperation.
When it came to work, I volunteered to tell Anzhi: "I was fired from the Sea Smart Software Company, and now I'm free."
Anzhi got confused for a moment, and he looked very surprised: "What? Why did they fire you? It is like driving you away and then breaking their own arms? "
"Because of Wendy." I said helplessly, and then told Anzhi about the conversation with Kaicheng and Wendy's decision.
Anzhi was stunned to hear that, until I explained the reasons and what happened all time long, he said profoundly, "your relationship is really weird."
I scratched my head helplessly, then picked up the cup and sipped it gently.
After digesting the information, Anzhi said seriously, "Tom, since you are no longer in the Sea Smart Software Company, what do you think to go back home and stay in my company for several months? My company has a project in Shenghai ready to start. How about going there to learn something about this industry? And then you can come back when the project here is ready to start, OK? "
This time, I was shocked about this suggestion. Going back to study for a period of time?
It seemed to be a very good suggestion. I hadn't been working for only one day, and I started to feel idle and even empty in my heart.
Anzhi then said, "don't worry, the public order in China is very good, and the Gong Family dares not making trouble in Shenghai. In addition, I will find a bodyguard for you, and his salary will be paid by the company, which will be regarded as a driver for the new leader. "
I nodded: "of course, it sounds good to go back and study something new. That's exactly what I want. But I can find my own bodyguard by myself. As you said, the law and order in China is very good. They dare not mess around."
"No, we have to be very careful. This is about life and death, so we must be more cautious."
"But I don't need the company to pay for the bodyguard. I can pay by myself. "
"Well, you are the top management of the company. It's quite normal to have a driver. What's more, I know your situation. You can't afford a bodyguard. "
"But......"
"That's it. No further discussion."
It was obvious that Anzhi often arranged for others, and he had already been familiar with doing so.
After hesitating for a long time, I finally agreed, but on one condition: I must choose my driver or bodyguard by myself.
Anzhi began to tell me about the projects of Shenghai branch, including what I should do and how to do after I went back.
I could probably be there about a month, because a lot of work here had not been completed. It would take some time to do all kinds of administrative approval documents. Many of these works were beyond my ability.
So it was a good choice to go back and stay for a while.
In Shenghai, I had friends like Zhe Xu, Jing Lin, Xin Wen and so on.
Of course, Xin Wen and I would not have too much communication, because ever since knowing that she loved me, I decided to alienate her.
I couldn't give her what she wanted, so it was better for me to stay away from her.
Yizheng Luo was also in Shenghai, so I didn't need to worry about that no one would drink with me. At that time, I could see how far Yizheng and his little girl friend were going.
Still the most important thing was learning new thing.
I had no idea about the real estate industry before. I didn't know anything about it. As the new project was carried out, even if the time was too short and I couldn't learn too much, it was still good for me to get familiar with the process and some industry knowledge.
Anzhi said that he wanted me to be able to take charge of my own business in the future. He wanted me to be responsible for new projects or even take full charge of the business in a certain region.
For this, I was a little confused. I only saved his wife and child, but I did not know him for long time, so he had no reason to pay so much attention to me.
Chapter 209 The Expanding Ambition
After hesitating for a long time, I finally couldn't help but tell this doubt. When I asked him why, Anzhi Tong did not answer at once, but pondered for a moment, organizing his words.
After a long time, he sighed for unknown reasons, and then frankly told me that he did this not only because I had acquaintances here, but also because he was old.
He had always felt guilty about his ex-wife and the two children, even if the relationship between them was indifferent. When he became too old to work, he wanted to share some of his property with the two children, leaving the rest to his wife and son.
However, the relationship between the two children and his current wife was very bad, even with hatred in the relationship. The last child born was too young. He was afraid that when he retired and separated his property, the two children will have conflicts with his ex-wife and fight for property.
Therefore, he had always wanted to find a person of good character, trust, and ability, and gradually made him a person who could help him and his children manage the business.
Later on, his children would not participate in the management of the company. They would just take the shares and dividends. The business to make money would be left to others to do.
However, he was satisfied with none of the current people in his company, including some young executives, who were either too ambitious or incompetent.
He couldn't trust those who were capable, but those whom he trusted were not competent enough.
When he said the ability, he did not mean the ability to manage, but to be able to control and intimidate people.
One must be bold enough to be resolute and determined, not limited by certain means to do things.
He had been troubled by this problem. After all, he was not young and there were not many years to wait.
When he knew me, he did not regard me as the object of investigation. At that time, I was only treated like a friend, a savior of his wife and children.
It was not until I called him and told him that Mingqiang Du and Sucha wanted to cooperate with him that he suddenly had a flash of light, and then put me back in his examination.
He said that according to his contact with me in this period of time, I had met all the requirements. I was worthy of his trust and had enough ability. As long as I had exercised for a period of time, I may be able to help him manage the enterprise well in ten or eight years.
His words were a bit of bullshit for me.
It would be a joke to trust me just because I didn't accept his two million yuan, push away the shares he wanted to give.
If it was me, it would be hard for me to absolutely trust a person if I didn't have three or five years to get along with the person, or if we haven't lived through life and death together.
Yizheng Luo, for example, almost died with me in the same cell.
In addition, Mingqiang Du had become a friend of mine from a mortal enemy. In this process, both sides had got to know each other well enough.
But Anzhi and I... To be honest, I didn't think I knew him very well, and he certainly didn't know me well.
I did not say these, but only asked him, "Are you not afraid that my ambition will expand in a few years?"
Anzhi laughed and said that he was very accurate in judging people.
I was a bit speechless. Coming to the conclusion from his own perspective was not the style of a successful entrepreneur.
But after laughing for a moment, Anzhi looked at me calmly and said that of course, he would continue to investigate me, and it would be enough to know someone in three or five years.
Expanding Ambition was not a bad thing, even for business people. However, when the expansion posed a threat to the interests of his children, he would naturally deny me and then change someone, or simply let the most capable senior manager in the company take over.
In short, he would not let anyone threaten the interests of his children, no matter who.
When he said this, his expression was very serious and sincere.
He was obviously not joking.
But after that, he patted me on the shoulder and said that he believed me as if he had always believed in his own insights.
Therefore, he decided to focus on training me, and when I had enough ability, he would slowly transfer the management of the company to me.
It would take several years, which was also the process of his examination.
I didn't go on with the topic because it was a little awkward.
My thought seemed to be a little simple. I did not expect the examination of me to continue.
That made sense.
Anzhi wanted to find a successor other than his children to earn money for his children. This action was completely understandable.
The relationship between his two early-born children and he was not good. He did not dare to hand over his career to them. Otherwise, his wife and youngest son might be bullied, and the company would fall into a family fight and collapse soon.
He couldn't hand over the company to his younger son, because he was still too young. Even in ten years, his son would only be a teenager. Teenagers should go to school and enjoy their youth instead of managing a company.
It's not good to give it to his wife. He knew that she was not meant to be a businesswoman.
Therefore, he could only choose to find an outsider to manage, which could not only continue the business he created but also make his several children live a life without worrying about food and clothing.
There was one thing he didn't say, but I guessed it was that no matter who managed for him when his little son grew up and had enough ability, he should hand over the company to his younger son.
It could be seen that he preferred the youngest son born by his wife.
After all, he got this son when he was old and the two children of his ex-wife had a bad relationship with him, so he could only rely on his younger son.
Maybe he found that I didn't want to talk about this topic too much, so Anzhi also turned to other topics.
But I couldn't help thinking about it. After all, managing a company with billions of assets was like a dream.
Of course, this was not a joke. At present, I had no idea and dared not do it.
I was thinking that if I married a woman soon, I would have children as soon as possible.
When the children grew up, I wouldn't be too old and could still help the children in all aspects, especially in their careers.
At least not like Anzhi now who wanted to pass on the career to the younger son, but the other side was too young and the result had become a problem.
I did not favor the theory of creating your own business. It was more comfortable to be a rich second generation than to start a business. If you could make hundreds of millions of yuan of assets, your child wouldn't have to work so hard to earn money. As long as your child was not too bad and didn't corrupt his family asset, what was wrong with being a rich second generation?
Of course, the premise was to marry someone who loved you and whom you loved. It was too early for me to think about it now.
I stayed with Anzhi until it got very late and didn't leave until about ten o'clock at night.
In the coffee shop downstairs, I saw Ayue who was sleepy. Cai was not better than him. He leaned back on his chair and looked at his mobile phone with boredom.
It seemed that they had drunk a lot of coffee here, but Ayue was still sleepy, which showed how boring the waiting process was.
Obviously, bodyguards were not that easy.
When the master was working, they had to wait outside. They couldn't do other things or sleep but only sit or stand there. It would be hard even thinking about it.
Chapter 210 Can't Immerse In the Movie
I felt sorry to talk about this. I walked to them and said with an apology, "Sorry, I've talked to Mr. Tong for too long and made you wait for too long."
Ayue was scared by me. After waking up, he put his hand on his waist. Then he tried to open his eyes and looked around.
Mr. Cai put down his mobile phone and laughed at me, "I haven't waited too long and I haven't finished watching this movie yet."
I looked down and saw the screen of his mobile phone. In the picture, a white, old man was chasing and playing with a child in the yard. Soon, the old man fell down, and the child did not know what had happened. The child was still shooting at the old man with a water gun.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.
No wonder Mr. Cai said that he had not finished watching a film; the film was called "Godfather". This part was approaching the end, and it was the scene in which Victor, the first generation godfather of the Corleone family, died.
After that, his son Mike took over the position of family leader, avenged Victor, cleaned up the traitors, and killed the heads of the four families.
Then he became the second-generation of Godfather.
This is an epic gangster movie, known as men's Bible.
I'd watched all the trilogy, and although each one lasted for three hours, I'd watched every one four or five times.
I could remember every classic line of Victor's godfather, every movement and facial expression of him. The most profound memory is that he died in the yard, and his son died in the yard.
But the difference between them was that Victor died with his favorite grandson playing with him. Still, Mike died alone under the sun, slowly leaning down. There was only a dog lying on the ground, scared by the sudden fell of Mike.
Because Victor could take good care of his family, his family, and everyone around him respected and loved him.
But Mike was different. With his ruthless and cunning ability, he revived the family. However, his family was not harmonious. It can be said that his wife and sons all left him. He even ordered to kill his own brother, and his daughter died under the enemy's shooting.
In the end, he died alone in pain and helplessness.
He was not wrong. It's the environment that made it all happen.
It's a sad movie.
Ayue's voice pulled me back from my recalling. I took back my eyes and saw him looking at the mobile phone screen in Mr. Cai's hand.
"Mr. Fang, the film Mr. Cai watched is so boring that I couldn't watch it anymore."
Mr. Cai was a little disappointed: "people like you who have no connotation can't understand such movies."
Ayue quipped his lips: "Mr. Cai, don't deceive me. This movie is just about robbing people of territory and business. Just do the business with guns. What's the connotation?"
"You know nothing. Go to ask Mr. Du whether you need a deep mind to be a boss? Just negotiating with others and managing sidekicks are not something ordinary people can do. "
"Well, that's also true. Anyway, I can't learn from Mr. Du. And when Mr. Fang was negotiating with the asshole from Gong Family today, if it was me, I would have lifted the table and fought with him earlier. "
"So it's not a movie that ordinary people can watch. I've seen Mr. Du watching it several times."
"Why haven't I seen it?"
"Every time you come back to our home, you run to drink and play cards with Mr. Hei and others. Of course you haven't seen it before. I have been taking things to Mr. Du several times, and I have seen him watching this film in the living room."
"No wonder Mr. Du always asks you to take things. By the way, Mr. Fang, have you seen this movie, too?"
Listening to their conversation, I was a little embarrassed. I nodded and said, "yes, just like Mr. Du, I have seen it several times."
Mr. Cai was a little proud, "well, Mr. Fang has seen it several times."
Ayue scratched his head sadly, "Then I'll look back when I'm free."
"Well, it's time to go back." I waved to them and walked out first.
Mr. Cai and Ayue followed. The former was still explaining the plot and characters of the film in a low voice to the latter.
Cai, who was usually silent, talked a lot when he spoke of the movie. Just when walking from the hotel to the parking lot, his words may be as much as he usually talked for the whole day.
Ayue was more and more like Yizheng Luo, and that kind of character had the same personality. It was much more challenging to ask them to enjoy a slow or even dull movie quietly than to ask them to beat a few people.
On the way, I asked them if they would like to have a drink. Mr. Cai said that he was free. He would go with me wherever I went.
Ayue hesitated for a long time, saying that if we wanted to drink, can we buy the bear and pack some barbecue home?
I was a little confused. Ayue usually didn't like to stay in the house.
Finally, we bought two boxes of beers, packed a lot of barbecues, and bought a lot of snacks in a convenience store, such as potato chips, peanuts, and so on, which were good to eat with beer. Of course, there were also instant noodles, sausage, bread, and biscuits, in case we were hungry in the middle of the night and didn't want to come out for supper.
Three big men couldn't live in the same house without beer. We wouldn't come out again tonight.
Back at my residence, Ayue did something that made me not know to laugh or cry.
He turned on the Internet TV in the living room on the first floor, searched out the movie Godfather, and then took a bottle of beer in his left hand and a string of grilled ribs in his right hand, and leaned comfortably on the sofa to watch the movie. Mr. Cai, too, sat next to him with beer and started to watch.
Maybe the biggest hobby in his life was watching movies, especially movies like Godfather. When he got to this point, he talked more.
But not until Mr. Cai said a few words, Ayue quickly waved the grilled spareribs on his hand, "can you have some merit? Don't you know it's annoying? "
Mr. Cai blinked his eyes, "um," and then calmed down.
I was a little shocked. It seemed that Ayue was a self-motivated thug.
I also sat down and reviewed the movie over a drink and a barbecue, but I didn't finish it. After eating and drinking enough, in the second half of the film, I got up and went upstairs.
I specially told Ayue and Mr. Cai not to sleep too late. I wanted to practice driving tomorrow morning.
After taking a bath and lying in bed, I took out my mobile phone and opened WeChat.
There were a lot of unread messages in the group of students. Most of them were from Xin Wen and Jing Lin. They talked about the scenery of Phuket Island with a lot of photos.
In the photos, there were beautiful scenery, lively beach parties, and so on. They were obviously having a good time.
It was a pity that Zhengrong Gong sent someone to trouble me. Otherwise, I was enjoying a party on the beach with Wendy. During the day, I would walk on the beach, swim, dive, and so on.
I didn't know if there would be another chance in the future.
