Chapter 201 lays the most important foreshadowing.



Upon hearing the word "jackal," Station Chief Li's expression froze for a moment.

He practically fled the station.

Wang Tianxiao didn't even see him off. Watching Station Chief Li leave in a hurry, he couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.

He will have to deal with this person a lot more in the future.

Since he is not an honest and upright person, we cannot use the most honest communication mode. We must make Station Chief Li understand that he is not a simple person.

So, don't cause any more trouble in front of him.

If things are done well, everyone will be happy.

If you're thinking of doing something sneaky because of this, you'd better give up the idea as soon as possible.

Don't let things get ugly for everyone.

Li Yali came in carrying a thermos and found that the person had already left. She asked curiously what had happened.

Wang Tianxiao then told her the whole story with a smile.

Li Yali frowned upon hearing this and said helplessly, "Although these kinds of people are quite difficult to deal with, you should try to do this kind of thing as little as possible. I always feel that it's not very ethical, don't you think?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled and pulled his wife to sit on his lap, teasing her gentle face as he whispered, "Actually, it's alright. Think about it, as Journey to the West says, you need to be able to recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name, but you also need to have the means to subdue demons. Of course, we should be very good to good people, but we can't be polite to these people who aren't quite right. Conventional methods simply can't deal with these kinds of people."

He looked into his wife's eyes, which were full of affection. "Look, why is it that good people in this world don't live long, while evil people live for thousands of years? It's because good people always think that not only should the law be followed, but it should also be based on morality. But do those bad people, or those who don't have much of a sense of morality, really care about these things?"

A sigh escaped his lips. "No, their only goal is victory or to seize the legitimate rights of others. As for the many people they hurt in the process, that's not something they care about."

Therefore, the better the person, the easier it is for them to be eliminated because their methods are too simplistic; those who survive are often the ones with problems.

“That’s true, but we can’t be considered problematic people because of that, can we?” Li Yali gently rubbed her husband’s chest.

"Of course not. We have a bottom line when we use special methods to deal with those people. Like this time, I just cleverly adjusted the sales direction of the prefabrication plant. This is normal and does not violate morality or law."

It's only because this place happens to be in such a need that we seem to be in a passive position. This is about using goodwill to resolve unkind behavior. In the end, we're satisfied, he got what he wanted, no one loses out, and the matter is even partially resolved—isn't that a win-win situation?

At this point, Wang Tianxiao couldn't help but sigh: "On the contrary, if it weren't like this, if we were just ordinary people, think about it, Lili, could we handle this kind of thing? I'm afraid not. I might have to beg and plead, and it might take a year or two to succeed, or even never succeed at all. Station Master Li said last time that it's impossible to set up the station at the foot of our mountain. It would be more convenient for our station to use electricity if it were set up here."

Seeing the helplessness in her husband's eyes, Li Yali said nothing more.

She nestled gently in the man's arms.

Her husband explained it clearly enough. She wasn't naive; she understood the principles that needed to be understood.

"Tianxiao..."

She called her husband's name softly.

"Hmm?" Wang Tianxiao was also a little surprised, as his wife usually didn't call him by his name.

"Promise me that no matter what, you will never do anything bad. We may have little, but we must not have even the slightest bit of malice. I've heard people say that once a bad thought arises, it will quickly take root and sprout, and it will be very difficult for a person to become a good person again."

Are you worried that your husband will turn into a bad person?

“I know you won’t, but I’m still worried. Isn’t that how it is in Qinqiang opera? Many men become heartless and do some really outrageous things when they get rich. I don’t want you to become like that in the future.”

"You mean you don't have confidence in me?"

"I...I don't know either. I'm just worried. I'd rather you had nothing, and we could live a simple life with coarse food and plain drinks. It would be better than having mountains of gold and silver if you weren't by my side one day."

Li Yali's voice was somewhat low.

Wang Tianxiao noticed his wife's change in mood and knew he couldn't continue joking, so he said softly, "Don't worry, Lili, no matter what happens in the future, I will never do anything wrong, not even if it kills me. I will always be the same person you just met, I swear."

Li Yali looked up at her husband, her gentle but calloused hand lightly stroking his eyes down to his chin. She smiled and nodded. "Yes, I actually believe you. I'm just a little worried, but I can't really explain why."

"Could it be... because I've been too happy lately?"

"ah?"

Li Yali paused for a moment, then smiled gently.

"It seems... that's really true."
