"Mr. Zhou, you're too kind." Ye Xingchen took a seat.
“Mr. Ye, you’ve been a great help since you came here. You’re leaving for Xuancheng tomorrow, so let’s consider tonight our farewell dinner,” Zhou Kunsheng said with a smile.
Ye Xingchen nodded and sat down.
Zhou Minggan raised his glass and said, "Mr. Ye... this glass is for you."
"What reason do you have to offer to pay respects?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
"This..." Zhou Minggan looked a little embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I know that Ye Xingchen is prejudiced against me because of what happened before."
"But my elder brother was kind and did not pursue my mistakes. He even released me and gave me my freedom."
“This time, I have also deeply realized my mistakes, Mr. Ye. I have offended you a lot before. This glass of wine is my apology to you.”
"Okay, I'll take this drink." Ye Xingchen smiled, raised his glass to Zhou Minggan in a gesture of respect, and then downed the glass in one gulp.
“Mr. Ye, please don’t mind. Minggan was just confused for a moment. I believe he will definitely repent this time,” Zhou Kunsheng said. “Mr. Ye has also said that he wants to expand into overseas markets. If Mr. Ye doesn’t mind, you can let Minggan give it a try.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Minggan revealed a hint of anticipation.
He has indeed turned over a new leaf and has gained a new understanding of Ye Xingchen's strength.
If he could work for Ye Xingchen, it would be a stroke of luck for him.
He just didn't know if Ye Xingchen would accept him.
“As I said before, if you don’t mind, you can help me expand the market overseas. Go to Yanjing and find this person.” Ye Xingchen took out Xia Hanyue’s business card: “She will tell you what to do.”
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ye." Zhou Minggan was overjoyed. He quickly took the business card from Ye Xingchen and carefully put it away.
Actually, Ye Xingchen was also aware of this guy's situation.
He's shown some rebellious streak, but after being severely reprimanded by his older brother this time, he probably won't dare to have any more ulterior motives in the future.
If he is focused on his career, Ye Xingchen will give him a chance; if he has other ulterior motives, Ye Xingchen will not hesitate to help him along the way.
However, after understanding Ye Xingchen's true strength, Ye Xingchen felt that even if this guy had a lot of guts, he wouldn't dare to provoke him anymore.
“Minggan, Mr. Ye is making an exception for you this time, so you must seize the opportunity. If I find out you have any other ulterior motives, I will kill you with my own hands.” Zhou Kunsheng stared coldly at his younger brother.
"Brother, don't worry, I would never dare to have any other thoughts about Mr. Ye. If I do, you can kill me and I won't have any complaints." Zhou Minggan said confidently, "Mr. Ye is right. I should use my intelligence where it's needed, instead of focusing on things that could kill me."
"It's good that you understand." Zhou Kunsheng nodded.
“Mr. Ye, you and my brother talk first, I won’t disturb you any longer.” Zhou Minggan understood that Zhou Kunsheng must have something important to discuss with Ye Xingchen, so he tactfully left as well.
After this incident, this guy has become much more sensible.
"Your younger brother is much more sensible than before," Ye Xingchen said with a faint smile.
"After all he's been through, I think he should have learned his lesson. If he continues as before, he'll really be being unreasonable."
Zhou Kunsheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, my influence is indeed limited in Xuan City, but I have a few informants. If you need them, I can use them directly."
“The informants we’ve planted there are police informants; we shouldn’t use them unless absolutely necessary,” Ye Xingchen said. “Old Meng has some connections over there; this time I’ll just go directly to them.”
“That’s fine, after all, it’s still Elder Meng.” Zhou Kunsheng sighed, “In the three border cities, only Elder Meng has connections there. Strictly speaking, most of Yun City is actually controlled by the forces from Jinluo City.”
"The police are completely helpless in this matter," Ye Xingchen couldn't help but sigh.
“There’s nothing we can do. You know the strength of Jinluo City. They’ve maintained firm control over Xuan City for years and have been causing trouble in the surrounding areas from time to time.” Zhou Kunsheng shook his head. “Even though there are garrisons around Xuan City, we can’t do anything about them.”
“Moreover…” Zhou Kunsheng paused, “In recent years, quite a few soldiers have died because of the villains in Jinluo City. Previously, a patrol team of soldiers even lost their lives at the hands of the enemy.”
"This is utterly lawless." Ye Xingchen slammed his palm heavily on the table, and with a hiss, the table in front of him instantly vaporized.
“If Jinluo City is not eliminated, it will inevitably become a major threat to our border in the future. Let me continue to complete what my father did not finish more than 20 years ago.”
Yes, Jinluo City is backed by a huge organization, and that unassuming little town is a haven for criminals.
Over the years, although China has infiltrated Jinluo City on more than one occasion to carry out missions, each time the losses have been extremely heavy.
It was precisely this determination of China that made Jin Luocheng realize that China was a tough nut to crack, which is why they dared not take any further action in recent years.
If we keep backing down, not only will the underground forces in the suspended city, but also in the three border cities will likely fall under their control.
“Yes, I have many bodyguards around me, and I have been assassinated more than once. Ninety percent of the people who want to kill me are from Jinluo City.” Zhou Kunsheng sighed: “Over the years, I have maintained a very tight control over Yun City, preventing them from making any progress, so they have always wanted to kill me.”
“Mr. Ye, the trouble caused by the Jin family has lasted for decades. If... you can resolve this matter completely this time, the border will enjoy at least twenty years of peace. Mr. Ye is very righteous, and I, Zhou, thank you in advance.”
As Zhou Kunsheng spoke, he stood up, respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Xingchen, and then bowed deeply.
“Mr. Zhou, there’s no need for this. I’m doing this for my own personal reasons,” Ye Xingchen said. “My father fought in Jinluo City twenty years ago and died here. For more than twenty years, he has been nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead. I’m going there this time entirely for his sake.”
"I'm not doing this for any grand cause."
“But Ye Xingchen’s actions are indeed at a critical juncture for national righteousness.” Zhou Kunsheng said solemnly, “No matter what, you deserve my bow.”
"If you insist on saying it this way, President Zhou's years of guarding Yun City and preventing underground forces from entering the border is the real act of righteousness." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "This action truly earns my admiration."
