Gu Yuan thought about his father's recent attitude towards him, and his expression suddenly became clear.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll go and tell my father about this matter. What benefits will you give me?"
Lu Zhiye shrugged: "There is no benefit, because all you do is useless!
Do you think your father wouldn't know that Wu Sheng came to see me openly today?
What follows is a fight between them, and it has nothing to do with me.
Wu Sheng wants to use me as cannon fodder, but that depends on whether I agree or not."
Only at this moment did Gu Yuan realize that the man in front of him was not a fool. He looked solemn and clenched his fingers, thinking that he should go back and discuss it with his father.
After Gu Yuan left, Lu Zhiye ran to the telephone booth and called Beijing City.
After tossing and turning for several times, I finally heard Mr. Zheng's voice.
Lu Zhiye coughed twice and called out respectfully, "Mr. Zheng."
"It's Ono, how are you doing over there lately?"
"Things are going pretty smoothly, but there's one thing I don't quite understand. You asked Comrade Gu to tie the Gu family and me together. Did you get any news?
Do I need to prepare early?"
Old Zheng sighed. It would be great if such a smart child had a good background!
In the political arena, it is a sharp blade.
He can clearly understand what others mean, and there is basically no need for him to say much.
Elder Zheng's breathing was a little heavy. After a pause, he responded in a vague voice, "Recently, everyone's opinions have been inconsistent, and many families are undergoing transformation.
Gu Yunlong has been involved in politics since his generation started. Don't underestimate him, because his father is a man standing on the city wall.
So I asked you to help the Gu family, also to flatter them. When you are adrift in the storm, stick to this big ship, it will be a little safer."
Mr. Zheng's words were vague and he was just giving an analogy, but Lu Zhiye suddenly realized that something big seemed to have happened in Beijing.
No matter which session it is, it is likely to cause considerable turmoil.
Mr. Zheng was afraid that something might go wrong on his side, so he found him such a powerful backer.
Then, Mr. Zheng dropped another bombshell: "I plan to let Gu Yunlong be responsible for the main development of Pengcheng. If you are too deeply involved with the previous person in charge, get out as soon as possible."
Lu Zhiye was shocked. Why was there no news at all?
Mr. Wu was doing a good job, but suddenly they were planning to demote him???
In name only, Mr. Zheng promoted Wu Sheng to a higher level, but he did not have much real power. It was just like the saying "promotion in name but demotion in reality". No wonder Wu Sheng came to Lu Zhiye in such a big hurry. He must have heard some news.
After Lu Zhiye hung up the phone, he leaned quietly against the door of the telephone booth. After a long time, he let out a long breath and thought to himself with relief: Life is so much easier when you have someone to help you!
If he had not learned the news as soon as possible and still blindly followed the previous route, he would probably have fallen flat on his face.
On the other side, Wu Sheng returned to the compound angrily, his face flushed with anger.
Gu Yunlong was sitting in his office calmly. Seeing him come back, he smiled and pushed the tea in front of him towards him. "Tell me, you are so unstable at your age?"
At the moment, there was no one around, so Wu Sheng didn't bother to pretend. He stared at Gu Yunlong with a pair of cold eyes: "Brother, why is this?
You know how difficult the early development was. I had a lot of trouble pushing Lu Zhiye to this position and using him to smooth the transactions between the compound and Hong Kong businessmen.
You know how hard it was for me to get to this point, so why did I do the job of picking peaches?
Why did the teacher make such an arrangement? Does he not trust me?
Wu Sheng's heart ached. He didn't understand why he was replaced just like that since he had been hiding behind the scenes and had worked hard to climb to this position?
This trick of raising the price in public but lowering it in private made Wu Sheng feel a chill in his heart!
Gu Yunlong also restrained the smile on his face. He straightened his clothes, walked to the windowsill, looked at the tall buildings not far away, and chuckled: "Junior brother, what did you do during the years when the teacher was sent down? Have you really forgotten?
Although you acted very discreetly, you secretly sided with the teacher's political enemies. How can we trust you anymore?"
Wu Sheng's questioning words were stuck in his throat, and he finally changed the subject: "The situation was special at that time, and I had no choice.
Do you want us to be wiped out?
When the teacher came back, I had already apologized and the teacher forgave me, didn't he?
Why? Was everything that happened before fake?
You pushed me to this position, just one step away from reaching the summit, and then you pulled me into the cliff in an instant. Is this your original purpose?
Just because I worked under that person for several years when the teacher got into trouble???"
Listening to his hysterical voice, Gu Yunlong felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking back to when the building collapsed, they, the disciples, had received arrangements from their teacher early on and quickly hid in various places.
Although I was affected a little, at least I was not demoted!
Wu Sheng is the teacher's most beloved disciple, and everyone is afraid that he will lose his mind and do something he shouldn't do!
Who would have thought that after the teacher was demoted, he would directly join the rival family.
Gu Yunlong felt even more angry when he thought about what he had found in his hands. At this time, he was unwilling to maintain superficial calm with Wu Sheng.
His voice was as cold as ice: "Mr. Wu, do you really think we can't tell who wrote that letter of complaint?
Everyone has their own unique characteristics, tone, and idioms whether speaking or writing, and the teacher can tell at a glance.
Why are you complaining now?
The teacher gave you a chance and pushed you to this position. Did that mean he was giving you a chance?
What did you do? Who did you meet a few days ago? I don’t need to tell you, right?
Wu Sheng felt a chill on the back of his neck. How could he be discovered when he went out under the pretext of an inspection?
He closed his eyes and said, "So you discovered it from the very beginning. You didn't trust me from the very beginning!"
Seeing that he was still blaming others for all the mistakes, Gu Yunlong was furious and shouted, "What did I get in return for trusting you?
They keep saying that it's for the development of Pengcheng, but in the end all kinds of people are attracted here. Tell me, how should Pengcheng develop?
Did your teacher call you and give you any warnings recently?
Did you do it? You still insisted on doing it, and the teacher didn't pull you off directly, which was already a kindness!
The document from the central government will come down soon, and I will take over your job in full.
In addition, as for Lu Zhiye, I think he has done a good job and can still be used.
If there is nothing else, I will go back first. You should think carefully about what I said. Don't waste the last bit of the master-disciple friendship!
Everyone just turned a blind eye to what happened before, but if it gets out there again, it will only make people laugh."
