Chapter 15: The Storm Strikes
Back at his home, Sun Zhengtao poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, holding the wine glass fiercely in his hand. Thinking of what had just happened, he threw his glass to the ground, shattering the glass shards.
At this time, Zhang Zili came and knocked on the door. Sun Zhengtao opened the door angrily, and when he saw Zhang Zili outside the door, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said slowly: "Come in!"
Zhang Zili walked into Sun Zhengtao's home, Sun Zhengtao's home a large European-style crystal floor lamp hanging in the hall, surrounded by golden, full of luxury, the spiral staircase on the left leads up to the bedroom, below the chandelier is a group of ebony European-style sofas, next to the sofa is a floor-to-ceiling wine cabinet, which is full of dazzling variety of foreign wines. The only discord was the glass shards on the floor, which scattered the light on the tiles, making it look so abrupt.
"This ......" Zhang Zili looked at Sun Zhengtao suspiciously.
"Oh, I accidentally broke my glass while I was drinking. Sun Zhengtao said lightly. He took out two more glasses from the wine cabinet, filled them with wine, put one on the tea table, sat down on the sofa with the other one and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Zhang Zili looked at Sun Zhengtao's calm appearance, and suddenly became angry: "Boss, he Lu Xiaoyu has usurped power, and you are still drinking here? You just watched that wolf-hearted guy dominate the company?
Sun Zhengtao looked at Zhang Zili, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the anxious appearance of this man with a meaty face.
"What are you laughing at, even Sun Shengcai ran to Lu Xiaoyu's side, you still have the heart to laugh!" Zhang Zili was even more anxious when he saw Sun Zhengtao smiling, and even brought out Sun Shengcai's name.
For Sun Zhengtao, Sun Shengcai standing with Lu Xiaoyu in the voting just now was indeed a heart-wrenching thing, he drank the wine in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared, and the rest was serious: "They clearly discussed it just now, and if I don't let this boss out, they will set up another door." β
Sun Zhengtao paused and continued: "Sun Shengcai naturally won't be with them, but Lu Xiaoyu already has four people, and we have three people at most, and the general trend is gone." But when did Zhang Zhijun and Lu Xiaoyu wear a pair of pants? The two of them usually don't interact with each other. Sun Zhengtao said to Zhang Zili, and he also fell into deep thought.
Zhang Zili watched Sun Zhengtao stop saying nothing again, and he himself wondered, when did these people wear a pair of pants? Lu Yue, like himself, was a person who followed Sun Lao Da from the beginning, how did he run to Lu Xiaoyu's side? Zhou Qiang is Lu Xiaoyu's haircut, and it is understandable that he helped Lu Xiaoyu, but Zhang Zhijun doesn't seem to be able to ride in the same boat with Lu Xiaoyu!
Zhang Zhijun is lying in the middle of a hundred flowers, Lu Xiaoyu is not touching a leaf, one is self-proclaimed, and the other is self-conscious, so it is as difficult for the two of them to agree as it is for the cat and mouse to live in peace. But today it really happened, right under my nose. Zhang Zili was puzzled, what the hell is going on? And what is going on with Sun Shengcai? Helping outsiders against his own brother? Is he dreaming or is everyone taking the wrong medicine today?
Zhang Zili looked at Sun Zhengtao again, only to see that Sun Zhengtao was still staring at the cup in his hand, Zhang Zili couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what did you think of?"
Sun Zhengtao came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing." As he spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine.
Zhang Zili was even more anxious, and said to Sun Zhengtao: "Don't just drink, what do you say, or I'll find someone to chop that Lu Xiaoyu, it's all he who makes it bad, I have long seen that he is not pleasing to the eye, so I just don't do anything to get rid of him." β
Sun Zhengtao raised his head, glanced at Zhang Zili, and said lightly: "Okay, Lu Xiaoyu will find the brothers to chop it up, Zhou Donghai will let our brothers go undercover, if he doesn't betray the brothers, he will snatch people out of the prison, and if he betrays, we will raze the prison to the ground, so that people can know how powerful our company is." β
After finishing speaking, Sun Zhengtao paused, looking at the stunned Zhang Zili, his voice became stern: "Do you think you are making a movie?
Zhang Zili was said to lose his temper, and stood there and muttered: "They all have brains, didn't they all let Lu Xiaoyu fool them?" Boss, you said that I have no brains, but I didn't let Lu Xiaoyu deceive me." β
Sun Zhengtao listened to Zhang Zili's words, and he didn't know how to respond at this time. Yes, Lu Yue, Zhou Qiang, Zhang Zhijun, and Sun Shengcai are all smart people, and they all chose to abandon themselves and vote for others, but this big boss never gave up on himself, and he did what his own brother didn't do, should he be said to have brains or no brains?
At this moment, do you still choose whether you have brains or no brains? Sun Zhengtao himself can't tell. But he knew that now he had to fight back against Lu Xiaoyu, otherwise he would be unwilling to hand over the building he had worked so hard to build.
Sun Zhengtao knows that what he wants to do now is actually three things. First, find out what the situation is on Zhou Donghai's side and see if it will affect you. Second, pull that ignorant brother back to his side, and by the way, figure out what happened to Lu Yue and Zhang Zhijun, why did they help Lu Xiaoyu, and see if they could pull him back to his side. The third is to find a way to solve Lu Xiaoyu. Although he can't kill him as Zhang Zili said, since Lu Xiaoyu has rebelled, he must give him some color. Otherwise, there really is no place for me.
Sun Zhengtao said to Zhang Zili: "You go back first, settle down the brothers, let them keep a low profile recently, don't act rashly first, I will inform you after thinking about it clearly, now is not the time to be anxious, bear with it for two days, plan and move, and can't mess with yourself." β
After Zhang Zili left, sitting on the sofa, Sun Zhengtao began to think about when his subordinates began to be dissatisfied with him. The business has become bigger, the brotherhood has become shallow, he feels that he is really careless, these two years of patronizing and enjoying life, everyone has no previous intention of working together to overcome difficulties and work hard to make money, as soon as people have a rich heart and live, all kinds of ideas will pop up.
Sun Zhengtao knew that he had indeed begun to be different from his brothers in the past two years. Zhang Zili is the most loyal, so he naturally wants to be kind to him; Sun Sheng is his younger brother, so he should take care of him more; Lu Yue always disagrees with himself, so of course he is almost there; Zhang Zhijun is a guy who likes to take advantage, and it is enough to give him a little favor at ordinary times; Lu Xiaoyu is a resourceful guy, he has a good relationship with his brothers, and he is a good helper, but he can't be unguarded, and it is not good to be a good master; Zhou Qiang was found by Lu Xiaoyu, and he is not familiar with himself, that is, to give Lu Xiaoyu a face, there is no need to be too careful; Zhou Donghaizui is very sweet, and he can also help him contain Lu Xiaoyu, but his foundation is too thin, so he naturally needs to focus on trainingγ
This is Sun Zhengtao's way of checking and balancing, but now it seems that he is wrong? The position of the boss is really not good, the height is unbearable, everyone used to be brothers, but after the business is bigger, he doesn't even have a friend. Lu Xiaoyu was originally his most powerful helper, but now he has become the initiator of forcing himself to step down, which is really unpredictable.
Sun Zhengtao put down the cup in his hand, took out the phone and called: "Black Boy, how about asking you to inquire?
After listening to the phone call over there, Sun Zhengtao poured himself another glass of wine, thought for a moment, and made a second call: "Juanjuan, are you at home?"
"Yes, are you coming over? I just bought a new set of erotic underwear, it's very sexy, I'm waiting for you to come. β
"Okay, you wait for me at home, I'll be over in a moment. After speaking, Sun Zhengtao got up from the sofa, took the key and hurriedly went out.
At the same time, Sun Shengcai was sitting in the bar drinking alone, he couldn't understand why as Sun Zhengtao's younger brother was not as good as that coward Zhou Donghai, Lu Xiaoyu was resourceful, and he fought the world with Sun Zhengtao from the beginning, but he couldn't compare to himself, but why was that Zhou Donghai better than himself? Why did he get better treatment than himself? Obviously, he came later than himself.
At the meeting just now, Sun Shengcai helped Lu Xiaoyu and they forced Sun Zhengtao to step down, but he still felt wronged, why is his own brother not as good as an outsider in Sun Zhengtao's eyes? Sun Shengcai sat on the sofa drinking alone, and after a while, a few girls with scantily clad clothes and heavy makeup came to sit next to him, and Sun Shengcai did not refuse, today he just wanted to let himself get drunk and die in this bright light, only in this way can he forget all the bad things in front of him.
On the other side, in the private room of the most luxurious hotel in Qingdong, "Qingfeng Xulai", Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Yue, Zhou Qiang, and Zhang Zhijun were tasting delicious wine and food.
Zhang Zhijun picked up his wine glass and said to Lu Xiaoyu: "Congratulations to Boss Lu for successfully ascending to the throne, let's not get drunk today!"
Lu Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Zhijun's appearance and felt a little funny, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said: "I'm not Boss Lu, the company belongs to everyone, since everyone trusts me, I will try to do a good job in this position and help everyone make more money!"
Zhou Qiang said: "I believe that you Brother Xiaoyu, Boss Sun doesn't take us seriously, he always favors one over the other, this time Brother Xiaoyu is in charge, we finally come out." β
Everyone clinked glasses again. In this way, you say a word, push the cup and change the lamp, laugh and laugh, and the time passes quickly. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, several people's faces showed drunkenness, Zhang Zhijun walked to Lu Xiaoyu's side drunkenly, lowered his head and asked Lu Xiaoyu quietly: "Boss Lu, when will what you said before be true? Brother, I'm still waiting!"
Lu Xiaoyu looked at the drunken Zhang Zhijun, a smile flowed from his mouth, he raised his hand to look at the time, took out a golden card from his shirt pocket, and said to Zhang Zhijun: "Upstairs 806, the beautiful dinner is waiting for you, you don't need us to accompany you, go and enjoy it yourself!"
Zhang Zhijun took the room card, and the person seemed to wake up instantly. His eyes began to glow, and he casually picked up the wine glass on the table and said to Lu Xiaoyu: "Boss Lu is really powerful, brother, I salute you, thank you for your help!"
After drinking it all, Zhang Zhijun said to everyone present: "Brother, I have something to do, take the first step, I'm sorry, I'll do it another day and make amends to everyone." Everyone, drink well, I'll go first!" and hurriedly left the room.
Zhou Qiang couldn't help laughing: "This pervert is in such a hurry, Brother Xiaoyu, you won't use a beauty trick on him, right?"
After speaking, Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Yue both laughed.
As soon as he finished laughing, Lu Yue's expression became serious again, and he said, "Boss Sun won't just give up like this, we should still be on guard." β
Lu Xiaoyu nodded: "He is definitely going to fight back, and now we don't know where the expert group and the technical team are, without these two groups, it is useless for us to control the company, but it is just an empty shelf." β
Lu Yue said: "It's okay to say that there are no two groups, it's good to find someone to do it, the key is that I'm afraid that Ambassador Sun will be bad, and Zhang Zili is a tendon, and we may not be able to take advantage of it if we really fight." And although that Zhang Zhijun is with us now, I still don't trust him very much, maybe he will defect again tomorrow. β
Zhou Qiang continued: "Brother Lu is right, Zhang Zhijun and we are not all the way, we have to be on guard, and although Sun Shengcai helped us today, he is Sun Zhengtao's younger brother after all, and it is unlikely that he will be in the same boat with us in the future." β
Lu Xiaoyu nodded, he knew very well that although he won a game against Sun Zhengtao today, his side was actually still at a disadvantage, Zhang Zhijun was just on his side because of interests, Sun Zhengtao would turn against him if he used a little means, Sun Shengcai helped himself today It was an accident, and he didn't know what he thought, but it was unrealistic for him to help himself deal with Sun Zhengtao as he did today.
The expert group and technical group are still in the hands of Sun Zhengtao, and he has not been able to get any useful information from Sun Zhengtao. In addition, he didn't know what that Zhang Zili would do, that old man did a lot of things that hurt others and didn't benefit himself, if he made him crazy, even if he injured a thousand enemies, he would lose eight hundred, which was not a good thing for Lu Xiaoyu.
Lu Yue picked up a glass of water from the dining table, took a sip, and said to Lu Xiaoyu, "Don't forget that there is another Zhou Donghai." β
Lu Xiaoyu suddenly felt that his wine had woken up, yes, now what he had to consider was not only Sun Zhengtao's counterattack, but also that damn Zhou Donghai, where is he now? Will he confess everyone? What should be the next road? The thoughtful Lu Xiaoyu felt that he had thought things simple, and the current situation was really not optimistic about him at all. He felt that he had to get his hands on the problem quickly, or it would probably not be long before he would lose everything.
Lu Xiaoyu looked directly at him and fell into deep thought, Lu Yue and Zhou Qiang did not say anything more, and the room was unusually quiet for a while. It was raining again outside the window, and the bean-sized raindrops knocked on the glass from time to time to make a beeping sound, and the raindrops rustled to the ground. Occasionally, there was a thunderclap or two, and it rumbled and roared, as if it were intimidating its own enemies. Occasionally, a flash of lightning pierced the night sky in the distance. On this stormy night, the three people in the room began the next step of the plot.
