Although it was said at the beginning that he would go to the teahouse, the president of Maserati of Long Kaida drove directly to a club in the suburbs - Kaida Villa. This is a club opened by Long Kaida himself, which is mainly used to receive officials.

To Li Xiaoning's surprise, Kaida Villa was not as splendid as he imagined, but very elegant and high-grade, which made him look at Long Kaida a few more times.

In fact, both the guest and the host understood what this evening's meeting was for. But Long Kaida once again showed his cleverness. At the wine table, he did not arrange any escort for the wine girl, nor did he talk about a topic related to the cement factory. Instead, he picked up the mountains to his heart's content. What impressed Li Xiaoning was that although Long Kaida looked very old and rough on the outside, he didn't know a lot at all. What historical allusions, humanistic customs, fashion and sports, as long as it is the topic mentioned by Li Xiaoning, he can talk about it in a similar way.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Long Kaida also told a lot of interesting stories about the underworld in Xinpi County, as well as a lot of secrets in the officialdom of Xinpi County. Li Xiaoning actually understood that Long Kaida was taking the opportunity to show off, showing off that he was eating both black and white in Xinpi County, but Li Xiaoning also had to admit that Long Kaida was showing off very artistically, and it didn't arouse his disgust at all.

In fact, since the last time Long Kaida went to his office, Li Xiaoning asked Hou Xiucai to check this real estate businessman who made a business card with pure gold.

Hou Xiucai has a deep relationship with the National Security Bureau, and it naturally doesn't take much trouble to investigate a corporate CEO, and the results came out quickly. I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. This Long Kaida looks like a straw bag, who knows that his family history can be described as legendary.

Long Kaida is a native of Xinpi County, an authentic poor family. I did well from elementary school to junior high school, but after junior high school, I dropped out of school because my family had no money. After dropping out of school, Long Kaida did not go to work like other children in the same village, but followed a black boss to get involved in the underworld. From the very beginning of slashing people with knives to collect protection money, to now opening a company as a boss. from dropping out of school because he couldn't afford to pay dozens of yuan in tuition, to now being worth billions; From when black and white were hunted down, to now, both black and white look at his face.

The results of the investigation are very simple, only a few pieces of paper, but Li Xiaoning can imagine that Long Kaida must have suffered a lot at the beginning, and for so many years, he must have done a lot of bad things. Moreover, if this person can get from the bottom to today, he must be a ruthless person, and he must be able to do anything for the sake of profit, otherwise he would not have come to this day.

If it was put in the past, Li Xiaoning would never have dealt with such a person, because at that time, his understanding of black and white, right and wrong was still very simple, thinking that black is black, white is white, wrong is wrong, right is right. But now, he has gradually matured, and he has begun to understand: right and wrong are relative, and there is no absolute right and wrong in this world. There is no absolute black and white either.

Take the well-known Wang Mang as an example. At that time, the imperial court reused relatives, Wang Mang's aunt Wang Zhengjun was the queen, then the queen mother, and then the queen mother. As the saying goes, one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, and almost everyone in the Wang family is arrogant and luxurious. Only Wang Mang, who has always been coarse and ugly, with light tea and rough rice, "mingles with the common people", is widely praised. Even later, Wang Mang became a very popular minister, and various virtues such as humility, frugality, loyalty, and self-denial were not diminished in the slightest. Speaking of which, he is definitely a commendable gentleman, right?

But what about then? Wang Mang's "wings" gradually plumped, and finally revealed his true face in the praise of the government and the opposition, he poisoned the fourteen-year-old Emperor Ping, and selected the two-year-old Liu Ying to be the emperor, and became the regent himself. This was not enough, and in the end he simply usurped the Han and became the emperor for fifteen years.

The counterpart to Wang Mang is Zhou Gong. When he dutifully thought about the king, when the regent quelled the rebellion, there were rumors all over the world that he wanted to replace him. However, the Duke of Zhou calmly dealt with the rumors, managed the country in an orderly manner, and waited for King Cheng to grow up before handing over all the power.

For this reason, Bai Juyi once wrote such a poem: "Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is humble and has not usurped the time." Xiang Xiang died at the beginning, and who knows the truth of his life. ”

From the perspective of the people at that time, there was no Wang Mang before the usurpation of power, and the Duke of Zhou when he was the regent, one was full of praise, and the other was full of gossip, but in the later historical evaluation, one was a rebellious minister and the other was a loyal minister, and it can be seen that right and wrong are relative in time.

A very important reason why Li Xiaoning is willing to deal with Long Kaida, a big man who has done a lot of bad things, is that although Long Kaida has been mixed with the underworld, and even now he may still be a person in the underworld, but in so many years, he has never had the blood of ordinary people on his hands. On the contrary, after Long Kaida became prosperous, he did a lot of good deeds in his hometown, and he covered all the tuition fees for the children in his hometown for elementary and junior high schools, and he also built new houses for everyone in the village where his hometown was located. The local people really miss him.

Long Kaida is not the same as Hallyu, although Hallyu is known as the country's number one philanthropist, but he does good deeds with ulterior motives, in order to cover up his dark side, for fame, and to seek greater benefits for himself; But Long Kaida is for the people, in order to repay the kindness. This is exactly why he only does good deeds in his hometown. Because people elsewhere have no kindness to him, he doesn't need to use his money to buy a false name.

Taking 10,000 steps back, if Long Kaida is really a heinous person, he doesn't need to curry up with Li Xiaoning and bribe Li Xiaoning at all, he just needs to force other people involved in the bidding not to fight with him when the government is bidding publicly, and this trick is exactly what Hallyu often uses.

It was precisely because he had a more comprehensive understanding of Long Kaida that Li Xiaoning agreed to the other party's banquet, because he felt that if Long Kaida was properly guided, he could benefit the people.

After drinking the whole wine, the two only talked about Fengyue, not about business. But it was Hu Tianhai's messing around, which made both sides feel like they were seeing each other late. Li Xiaoning could see from the conversation that Long Kaida was not as rough as he appeared on the outside, but an extremely introverted person; Long Kaida also realized that Li Xiaoning is not just an official, a politician, or a lively young man who knows a little about everything.

After drinking, there is still a project as usual. Long Kaida took Li Xiaoning to a delicate villa, and as soon as the two sat down, two little girls came in and served the two like ancient maids. Li Xiaoning began to feel a little unaccustomed, but seeing that the two little girls were still dressed neatly and the massage techniques were also very professional, she enjoyed it with peace of mind.

"County Magistrate Li. In fact, we are also old friends. Long Kaida suddenly said without a head. Li Xiaoning looked at him with a smile, waiting for his later words.

"Zhang Jun has been with me for a while." Long Kaida continued, "I've noticed you since the last time the city cracked down. ”

"Oh? Is it? What are you paying attention to me? Li Xiaoning asked with a smile.

"I found you to be a firefighting expert. When you were in Koto Province, you went almost wherever there was a fire. Long Kaida said with a smile while enjoying the little girl's massage comfortably, "I was still thinking about when you would be able to save the fire in Xinpi County." I didn't expect that you would really come. ”

"Oh, really?" Li Xiaoning closed his eyes and agreed casually.

Long Kaida talked for a while, and suddenly found that Li Xiaoning stopped talking, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Xiaoning.

"Mr. Long, County Magistrate Li is already asleep." The little girl who was massaging on Li Xiaoning said softly.

Li Xiaoning is not asleep, when the little girl massaged him just now, he has been closing his eyes like an old monk, no matter whether the little girl's hands are light or heavy, his body will not have any reaction, nor will he make any sound, just every time he waits for Long Kaida to finish speaking, he will make a sound. So the little girl thought that Li Xiaoning was asleep, because his breathing was so even, and there seemed to be a soft snoring sound.

"Sleeping? We haven't talked about business yet. Long Kaida muttered, "Then why did he answer my words just now?" ”

"It seems to be a habitual answer." The little girl whispered, "Do you want to wake him up?" ”

"Forget it, I'll squint for a while." Long Kaida lowered his head and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said to the two little girls, "You guys go outside, let's squint." ”

The two little girls went out for about five minutes, Li Xiaoning pretended to snor, then sat up, and said to Long Kaida, who was awakened by herself: "This little girl is so comfortable, she fell asleep unconsciously, offended, offended." ”

"Yes, if you like it, let this little girl serve you." Long Kaida said with a smile, "In a small place, there are no big stars and famous models." But she is a serious yellow flower girl, and she is guaranteed to be clean. And I have learned some chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, which will not spoil the scenery. I noticed just now that the little girl's eyes when she looked at County Magistrate Li were definitely moved. ”

"Thank you Mr. Long for your kindness, I am already a master of the people, I dare not pick wild flowers, and I can do it and cherish it. Hehe! Li Xiaoning said with a smile.

"Isn't it fashionable now that the red flag does not fall at home, and the colorful flags flutter outside. Rest assured, safety is guaranteed. Long Kaida continued.

"Thank you Mr. Long for your kindness. To say that I don't like this little girl is hypocrisy. But I'm a little timid. My girlfriend is a tigress, and she doesn't dare to stick to flowers and grass outside. Li Xiaoning said with a smile, "The tigress is powerful, that's not fun, home and everything is prosperous." ”

The two chatted for a while, and Li Xiaoning's phone rang, which was actually the alarm set by Li Xiaoning. He hung up his phone and said with a smile, "Take a look." It's night. I have to go back to the dormitory and report on video. ”

"Then I won't keep you." Long Kaida also said generously, "Tomorrow I will go to the county government to report to you in person." ”
