Cao Jiuqing's car is a black Rolls-Royce Phantom, very high-end and luxurious, under Cao Jiuqing's eager invitation, Shen Chao and Chen Qingdong both sat in this Rolls-Royce Phantom, Xiao Wu was responsible for driving, Chen Qingdong sat in the co-pilot, Cao Jiuqing and Shen Chao sat in the back row and chatted.

Wu Jun still drove the Land Cruiser in front of the road.

Chen Qingdong sat in the passenger seat, looking at the strange scenery outside the car window, but his ears were listening to the chat between Cao Jiuqing and Shen Chao.

"Brother Chao, after so many years, I really miss you. Cao Jiuqing said with emotion.

"Hehe, Jiuqing, I miss you too. Shen Chao said, "This time I came to Lanzhou, even if I don't need your help, I want to see you and see how you are doing now." Now that you're doing so well and driving millions of cars, I'm really happy for you from the bottom of my heart!"

"It's all outside of your body! Brother Chao, if you like this car, I can give it to you right now." ”

"Haha, Jiuqing, you're joking too much! Such an expensive car, even if you are willing to give it to me, I don't dare to ask for it! If I have such an expensive car, then I probably can't even sleep every day, for fear of leaving the car outside and letting others bump it for me. ”

Cao Jiuqing laughed: "Hehe, Brother Chao, you are still as humorous as before." Alas, in fact, I told you yesterday that although I am glamorous now, I am actually not steady. Brother Chao, I don't have to hide it from you, I am already mixed in the road now, and in Lanzhou, and even in the entire northwest region, it can be regarded as a bit famous. But since you have entered this way, you will inevitably fight and kill, and you will inevitably have hatred and grudges. However, people in this society now have all their eyes on fucking money, and no one is emotional. Although I have a lot of brothers now, I am afraid that there is no one else who can really reassure me and make me a confidant brother except Xiao Wu and Wu Jun. ”

After that, Cao Jiuqing said a little melancholy: "Brother Chao, when I first went to be a soldier, I was bullied by those veterans, and you jumped out to fight for me without saying a word, and as a result, I was also beaten by someone." Brother Chao, at that time, the two of us could be said to be unrelated and had no friendship, you can jump out and fight for me, I am still grateful. It's just that now, a good brother like you, I'm afraid it's hard to see. ”

Shen Chao pondered for a while and said, "Jiuqing, I said yesterday, if you need me to stay and help you for a while, I can stay, and I can definitely make you trust." ”

Cao Jiuqing raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise: "Really, Brother Chao, you're not kidding, are you?"

Shen Chao said seriously: "No kidding. However, I came this time to negotiate the contract for my brother, or did I talk about it first. ”

Cao Jiuqing patted the back of Shen Chao's hand and said, "Okay, let's finish this matter first, and then talk about something else." ”

Chen Qingdong, who was sitting in the co-pilot, listened to their words and was surprised in his heart!

In fact, after these contacts with Cao Jiuqing, Chen Qingdong can already see that this Cao Jiuqing is definitely a heroic figure now, and he is also a very scheming character. Chen Qingdong admires Cao Jiuqing's strength, but he doesn't like Cao Jiuqing very much.

Because Cao Jiuqing gave him the impression that he was a little too yin, and he was also a little too good at acting.

From what Cao Jiuqing said to Shen Chao yesterday, and what he just said to Shen Chao in the car, the meaning is already obvious, although he keeps saying that what he is doing is very dangerous and not very interesting, but in fact, the real meaning is still to let Shen Chao be able to do things with him.

Perhaps, for an underworld hero like Cao Jiuqing, having one more brother by his side who can make him completely at ease may be a more important thing than making him earn millions of yuan!

It's just that last night, when Cao Jiuqing told Shen Chao about these things, Chen Qingdong just felt that Cao Jiuqing was trying to get Shen Chao to do things with him by means of wanting to capture him, and Chen Qingdong was still a little worried that Shen Chao was too simple!

But after listening to the conversation between Cao Jiuqing and Shen Chao just now, Chen Qingdong realized that it was not entirely the case!

Chen Qing** discovered that Shen Chao also wanted to defect to Cao Jiuqing and follow Cao Jiuqing to do things together!

Chen Qingdong even thought about it further, the reason why Shen Chao wanted to come to Lanzhou with him this time was probably that he already had a plan to follow Cao Jiuqing in his heart!

Shen Chao himself said just now that he came over this time to see how Cao Jiuqing was doing.

Chen Qingdong guessed that perhaps, Shen Chao originally came with two purposes, one purpose was of course to accompany him to talk business with Xinlin Farm, and the other purpose was to see how Cao Jiuqing was doing, if Cao Jiuqing was doing well, then he might also have to stay and do things with Cao Jiuqing.

Originally, Chen Qingdong had already regarded Shen Chao as a completely trustworthy brother in his heart, and even a brother who could share weal and woe like Chen Hongbing and Zheng Hongtao.

But now Shen Chao was going to leave their small group again, which made Chen Qingdong feel very depressed for a while, and even a little painful!

He felt pain, not just because Shen Chao had the idea of leaving, but through this incident, he felt the reality of this society more deeply!

When Shen Chao had just been discharged from the army, Cao Jiuqing came to woo him, but Shen Chao refused at that time. At that time, Shen Chao felt that he and Cao Jiuqing were actually not all the way in their bones, so they couldn't go together. As for money, for Shen Chao at that time, it was a floating cloud.

However, people will always become, especially in this impetuous society where money is important, Shen Chao, a person who makes people look so high-flying, will also become! Money will become more and more important, as for whether it is a type of person in his bones, it seems that it has become less important.

Of course, Chen Qingdong knew that even if Shen Chao decided to follow Cao Jiuqing to do things in the future, then he actually had nothing to blame Shen Chao.

Because no matter how you look at it, Cao Jiuqing's strength is not comparable to their small green farm, not to mention that Cao Jiuqing trusts him so much and can provide him with such a big platform! It is conceivable that if Shen Chao follows Cao Jiuqing in the future, with Cao Jiuqing's trust in him, I am afraid that in a very short period of time, Shen Chao will be able to surpass, or at least get the height of Wu Jun!

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but empathize with his whereabouts, if someone can really provide himself with an opportunity in the officialdom to make himself soar in a short period of time and reach the height of a department-level cadre, but the premise is to let himself stand in line again, or even abandon some people who were once very important to him, will he do this?

Suddenly, Chen Qingdong was a little shocked to find that he couldn't answer this question decisively!

Could it be that he has changed so much imperceptibly?

Is he so wholeheartedly pursuing his career simply because he wants to be an official, or does he have the idea of working for the welfare of the people? Or is it an organic combination of the two? So when faced with the choice of being promoted and competing with the people for profit, how will he choose?

At this time, the car drove through a deep ditch, although the Rolls-Royce Phantom had excellent shock absorption, but Chen Qingdong was still jolted, his forehead touched the side windshield, and countless thoughts in his mind also dissipated.

Chen Qingdong touched his slightly aching forehead, sighed lightly in his heart, and told himself not to think too much and too far, let's do the things in front of me first!

As for Shen Chao's choice, then "it's going to rain and my mother is going to get married", I can't manage so much, so I can only let him go!

The car came all the way to the Xigu District Public Security Bureau, and although Chen Qingdong did not see any signs such as public security bureau passes behind the windshield, the guards of the public security bureau did not block them and directly put them in.

After the car was parked in the yard, Cao Jiuqing called a leader of the Public Security Bureau in the car.

After talking, Cao Jiuqing said to them: "Xiao Wu, you go up with me, Brother Chao, Qingdong, you two are waiting for me now." ”

"Okay, Jiuqing. Shen Chao said.

"I'm sorry for you, Brother Qing. Chen Qingdong also said.

After only Chen Qingdong and Shen Chao were left, Shen Chao said to Chen Qingdong with a sense of explanation: "Qingdong, you also heard what Jiuqing said just now, you, Hong Tao, and Hongbing are all my brothers, but Jiuqing is also my brother, and now Jiuqing seems to have encountered some difficulties, I think I should help him." After the business is negotiated this time, I won't go back with you first, and when I help Jiuqing deal with the things here, I'll go back to you. ”

Chen Qingdong's heart sank, he knew that Shen Chao had made up his mind. Although he was already prepared, he still felt a little bitter.

"I understand, Brother Chao. Chen Qingdong said, "If you want to go back to us at any time, go back, we are waiting for you to drink at any time." ”

"Haha, okay. Shen Chao said with a smile.

Chen Qingdong also smiled and nodded.

After that, the two of them suddenly seemed to have nothing to say, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while!

Shen Chao took out a box of cigarettes, handed one to Chen Qingdong, and said as if he had nothing to say: "Qingdong, why did you say that Liu Zhaolin went to find someone else's purchasing manager privately at night, yes, it's called Yu Chengyan." Liu Zhaolin will talk to other people, but why is he threatening others with a knife? Is this business just about talking? He threatens others so much that he has made things stiff, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to talk about it below. ”

Chen Qingdong knew that there must be something going on, and Liu Zhaolin knew it in advance, and he didn't tell him, but Chen Qingdong didn't want to guess now, so he said: "Who knows what he thinks, just ask him when I see him." ”
