"Bad people? There are many bad people; they are the opposite of virtuous people."
There are many upright and virtuous people in this world, and there are also many bad people.
Terms like cunning and treacherous, hypocritical and wicked, philandering, members of all walks of life, clowns, petty thieves, thieves, and prostitutes are all examples of such people.
"Wow! So many? Are they all bad people?"
"Not necessarily. If they can still stand up for the greater good of the nation, then they are good people too."
"Ah! Why?"
"Alright, this is nothing. If I tell you all this now, your little head can't hold it all. Grandpa will explain it to you when we encounter these words again, okay?"
"good."
"Hurry up and eat."
"Um!"
That's how kids are; when they encounter something they don't understand or something that interests them, they'll ask questions.
How to guide him? We have to take it slowly. If we don't want him to go astray and grow up to be a useful member of society, we have to talk to him slowly and teach him gradually.
But the old man and the old woman are getting old, and the things they experienced in the past, even if these children can't quite understand them now, they still need to stay with them and listen carefully.
Even if you only remember a little bit, you will benefit for life. That's why we never keep quiet at the dinner table. You can say whatever you want.
This can also foster relationships and interaction among everyone; there's no need to make it so serious.
After dinner, everyone usually sits in the living room to watch TV or chat, but for me, or for me today, there's simply no time.
Let's make arrangements quickly while everyone is still awake at this hour.
Those who need to investigate should do so, and those who need help should ask for help.
Although I haven't lived in Shanghai for many years, and each time I go there it's only to handle work-related matters, I still have friends.
However, I don't plan to use them for today's matter, since the friendship between business associates and business partners doesn't reach the level of the relationship I want.
But even without them, there are still people. Over the years, many of my mother's former students are still in Shanghai.
We've kept in touch over the years, and there are many people I've helped when I was able to.
Moreover, even though they have long since retired, they still work in the medical field.
Sometimes, it is the seemingly insignificant people, or those whom others consider unrelated, who actually receive the answers they desire most.
Fortunately, with the rapid development of the internet in the 21st century, many things can be resolved with just a phone call.
There's no need to go to Haishi. Even if you want to go, and there's something very important that requires your personal presence, you can't go at this time.
Who knows if the Jing family will resort to desperate measures and do something outrageous?
Don't assume that just because we live in a society governed by the rule of law, people won't dare to do anything illegal or disorderly.
Those who truly want to do something never make excuses like this.
"Is everything arranged?"
"Hmm! Is Xiao Xuan asleep?"
"He's asleep. Don't worry about him. Sister Wu is here."
"Too."
"There's no need to be too nervous about dealing with local bullies like the Jing family."
"I know that the Jing family has been entrenched in Haishi for many years, and it would be impossible for them to do so without a few helpers."
After much thought, I've decided that the best way to deal with the Jing family is to start from the outside.
"You mean to first deal with the henchmen outside?"
"That's right, just like the Zhang family."
"You mean the Zhang family are the Jing family's informants in Beijing?"
"We don't know, but he lives so close to our house. If it's not the Wang family, it can't be, right?"
“The Zhang, Wang, and Fang families are all possibilities, but since the Zhang family has already been targeted by higher-ups, let’s deal with the Zhang family first. Then we can follow the clues and find out their connection with the Jing family.”
"That's right, and I think that even if the Jing family has absolute power in Shanghai, they probably can't control everyone."
Even if members of the Jing family have military, political, or business connections, it's unlikely they can monopolize power in Haishi.
"You're looking for someone to partner with?"
"Yes, but I won't hire someone from Haishi?"
"Why? Shouldn't the locals know more about the situation?"
"I do understand the situation, but the other party is in the same situation."
"If you hire someone from out of town, it will probably be very difficult for them to establish themselves in Haishi."
"Difficulties are what motivate us to strive."
Who are you looking for?
"What do you think of Liu Haiyang, the eldest grandson of the Liu family in the alley ahead?"
Why would he think of him?
"He was demobilized from the army three years ago and started his own business. In order not to go home and inherit the business, he went to Haishi to develop his business on his own."
I heard they're currently investing in film and television, and doing quite well.
"So what you mean is?"
“I plan to invest in his company through a friend in Gangcheng, taking a certain percentage of the shares.”
"But why go through all this trouble?"
"In order to avoid being discovered by the Jing family, I can place a few people in his company to find out about the Jing family from another angle."
"Why not let Liu Haiyang keep an eye on the Jing family directly? After all, he also came from the military, and he would probably be very willing to help once he knows the situation."
"He's willing, but I'm not?"
"Why?"
"It's simple, it's just that we haven't seen each other for several years, and I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket."
"But this makes dealing with the Jing family relatively more difficult."
"I know, didn't the Jing family come to Beijing? Now that they're here, they should come back every time, shouldn't they?"
"Are you really planning to meet the younger generation of the Jing family?"
"It doesn't really matter whether we meet or not, we just want to probe the Jing family's background."
"So, shall we still meet?"
"Why don't you help me see him?"
"I don't understand business matters, how can I meet with them?"
"It's alright. If they want to ask if they can stay at the Li's Building, just agree."
But his only requirement is his reputation.
"say what?"
"For example, the rent is 20 percent higher than before."
"This? Isn't it too high?"
"That depends on what the Jing family thinks. If they think 20% is not high and insist on having their offices in the Li's Building, then their target is indeed our Shen family."
If they think it's too high and don't want to rent, then they feel that dealing with the Shen family is optional.
"That's true. I wonder what the Jing family will choose?"
"I think even if the percentage is as high as 50%, they will still choose to move into the Li's Building!"
"Why?"
"What else could it be? Don't forget, the companies in the Li Group building have all been dismantled and become independent companies."
But that used to be the Li Group building. They still have an office for me on the top floor of the Li Group building.
