Although it is a bit regrettable that it is not easy to contact Mr. Zhao directly, I am fortunate to be able to solve such a huge problem.

Chairman Weng smiled with relief and said, "Go back and rest quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow to report to our husband Zu."

"Yes." The two vice presidents responded and walked out together.

The guest room was prepared by the temple for pilgrims. The door was not big, so if two people walked out shoulder to shoulder, one of them had to turn sideways.

Vice President Xu's head was buzzing at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to his body. As usual, he started to argue with Liu Zhengqi.

Their shoulders bumped together, and Mr. Liu said calmly, "From now on, when you see me, you must call me brother."

Vice President Xu looked up in surprise, and saw Mr. Liu, who had been memorizing characters for a year and a half, staring at him with a long-lost sharp gaze.

He shrank his neck and said stubbornly, "Don't even think about it."

"Then let's wait and see." Liu Zhengqi sneered and left first.

"Is this man sick?" Xu Zhixiang turned around habitually and smiled at the Weng father and son.

But there was no smile on either of their faces.

Vice President Xu suddenly woke up when the cold night wind blew.

He finally understood what Liu meant.

Xu Zhixiang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly walked away, taking one deep step and one shallow step.

Looking at the distraught Vice President Xu, President Weng said with endless emotion:

"This fate is so unpredictable."

"Yeah, that incident in June, everyone thought Liu Zhengqi was doomed." Weng Fan said with a sense of loss, "I didn't expect that incident to be his chance to turn things around."

"It's not just luck. He has this opportunity firmly in his hands." Weng Yu sighed and said:

"You went with him to see Master Zhao, right?"

"Yes." Weng Fan nodded.

"He had just offended Young Master Zhao badly, but you had no grudge against him." Weng Yu sighed again and said, "Your chances were much better than Vice President Liu's. But in the end, it was him who seized the opportunity and turned the tables, not you."

"Father..." Weng Fan was struck by lightning when he heard the words and had difficulty breathing.

He wanted to argue that Zhao Hao had not caught him, so he had to help him buy Xishan Island, arrest the second master of the Xu family, and go to the government to file a complaint, instigating a conflict between the Xu family and the prefect Cai...

They are all risking their lives to atone for their sins.

I don't need to atone my sins, so why would I take the initiative to wade into this muddy water?

But now, any explanation is pale, he can only smile bitterly and say: "At that time, I didn't realize how powerful Mr. Zhao was. My vision was indeed a little poor."

"Yes, isn't your father also a wise man after the event?" Weng Yu nodded helplessly and said, "Otherwise, why would you leave Hua Bozhen hanging for three days?"

He patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, we didn't make any mistakes. We will always have a chance to make up for it."

"Yes, father." Weng Fan felt warm in his heart and nodded.

"Let's start by fully supporting Liu Zhengqi to become the president of the Chamber of Commerce." Who knew that the old father was not just comforting him, but also gave clear instructions.

"Ah?" Weng Fan was stunned, then nodded bitterly and said, "Indeed, once this matter spreads, not only will the past disputes be wiped out, but Brother Liu's position in the Chamber of Commerce will also be unshakable."

"Didn't you hear what Vice President Liu said before he left?" Weng Yu was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled playfully and said, "That wasn't just for Vice President Xu to hear. He was also telling us that if anyone goes against him in the future, they won't be able to sell goods to Jiangnan Company."

"Who can withstand this?" President Weng thought that the change of leadership at the end of the year was just a formality, but he did not expect that Liu Zhengqi would accomplish a major reversal so easily.

"Alas, will Mr. Zhao listen to him? He is not a fox taking advantage of the tiger's power, is he?" Weng Fan said that he was convinced, but he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

"You might as well say you are an accomplice to the evil." President Weng shook his head, said softly, then turned and walked into the room.

He had been the president of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce for twenty years, and the thing he was most proud of was that although the relationship with the nine major families was orderly, the chamber of commerce always maintained its independence.

When the Nine Great Families collapsed, he even felt secretly delighted, thinking that the days of having to depend on the Nine Great Families might be over.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen again, and in the end he could not escape the fate of becoming a vassal.

Oh, I hope Jiangnan Company can treat the Chamber of Commerce well...

Elder Weng is old and will retire soon, so he can only calmly accept the trick of fate.

~~

On the other side, after Mr. Liu returned to his room, he tossed and turned in excitement until the rooster crowed, when he finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

Less than an hour later, he got up again in a daze, washed his face hastily, dressed neatly, and prepared to meet up with President Weng.

But when I opened the door, I was shocked to see Xu Zhixiang standing outside. I didn't know how long he had been waiting.

Anyway, there was a layer of white dew on my hair and face.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death." Mr. Liu gave him a cold look.

"Brother, I'm sorry..." Xu Zhixiang lowered his head and said in a mosquito-like voice.

"What did you say?" Mr. Liu seemed not to hear clearly.

"Brother, I'm sorry. It was my fault before." Vice President Xu made up his mind, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and bowed deeply:

"I have no eyes to recognize a great man, and I look down on people with my dog ​​eyes. Please forgive my mistakes and give me a chance to make amends."

"Oh no." Liu Zhengqi squinted at him and said with a fake smile, "Vice President Xu, why are you not sleeping so early in the morning and coming here to make trouble?"

"Brother said that you must call me brother when we meet in the future." Vice President Xu felt humiliated, but the smile on his face became more and more sincere.

He didn't sleep the whole night. He spent an hour calming down, letting go of his anger, and thinking carefully about the pros and cons. Naturally, he came to the same conclusion as President Weng - he could not snatch the position of president from Liu Zhengqi.

If it were someone from another profession, they would probably have been thinking about how to trip up Liu Zhengqi. Even if they couldn't get the position, they couldn't let him get his wish.

But he is the vice president of Dongting Chamber of Commerce and the best businessman in the world.

A qualified businessman knows how to stop loss, change positions, and make up for lost time. How could Xu Zhixiang let negative emotions control his behavior and let the losses continue to increase?

So before dawn, he made a difficult decision - to come to Liu Zhengqi to apologize.

~~

"Oh, I remember now. I was just joking, but Vice President Xu took it seriously." Seeing Xu Zhixiang's pitiful look, Mr. Liu laughed heartily.

"From now on, I will take everything you say seriously." Xu Zhixiang said: "If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to chase a dog, I will never chase a chicken!"

"Haha, the more you talk, the more you get off track." Mr. Liu was in a good mood, and felt that this hometown in Xishan was really his blessed land. "Okay, brother, let's talk while we walk, so as not to delay the business."

"Okay, big brother!" Seeing that Mr. Liu did not take the opportunity to humiliate him, Vice President Xu completely adjusted his mentality and convinced himself that I wanted to be a younger brother from the bottom of my heart.

In fact, Mr. Liu had fantasized countless times about how he would repay Xu Zhixiang's humiliation tenfold or a hundredfold if he got the chance in the future.

But when the opportunity really came, he let the other party go with a nonchalant attitude.

The reason is simple. He is also a businessman and the vice president of Dongting Chamber of Commerce.

He understood the principles that Xu Zhixiang could figure out earlier.

In the face of interests, face is not worth mentioning.

ps. I have finished writing, and my eyes feel better again, but I am still very relieved to make up for yesterday. Good night, please give me a monthly ticket!
