Niu Deli and Wan Jinchao have known each other for more than 15 years.

Earlier, they had even been in the same publishing company.

The two were relatively close colleagues at the time - they were roommates in and out of bed in the company's dormitory, and the so-called friendship that has lasted until now, of course, they know this person's old background.

Lao Niu's perception of this person is very complicated - after he is no longer a colleague, there is no serious conflict, and the small conflicts he had before are not worth remembering all the time.

Since then, they have been mixed in the same circle, but they have no direct stake.

There is nothing to fight for each other, and there are no people and things that will cause the conflict to deepen, and the relationship between the two is not far away - occasionally they will help each other with some small favors that are harmless to themselves.

People who used to be upright, and the well-behaved old cow who was educated by reality has long been upright.

He is well versed in "it is better to offend a gentleman." Don't offend the villain. The truth of doing things.

Every time I meet this "old friend" who can only be regarded as a nodding friend, I will always smile and take the initiative to greet him.

I don't like it very much - I didn't realize it, in fact, Lao Niu even envied Wan Jinchao a little bit of envy of Wan Jinchao's ability to be stronger than himself, and to talk about people and talk nonsense.

While slightly despising the other party's unprincipled behavior, he is not ready to offend casually, and his ruthless nature has been proven by countless examples.

A little envious, even jealous that the original colleague was better than his current self, but he had to admit:

Wan Jinchao is a person who may not write very well in books, and he is not a good person, but being good at being a man is not a lie.

In order to get closer to the old-school writers, in the inner pocket of his jacket, there was always a small black notebook, which was said to have been given by the dean of the Academy of Literature of the Chinese Empire, and it was obviously extremely precious, that the book must have recorded the arrangements for his meetings with others.

The Tiger Duke said to him, "There is nothing of great personal importance to him, and this man will not come to the door easily." The evaluation can be described as bloody, directly exposing the essence of this person - Wan Jinchao will not have too close to useless people.

Although, the positioning of the relationship between everyone in reality is clear and accurate, and there is the meaning of knowing advance and retreat.

But many people don't like to be so realistic and extremely snobbish.

Wan Jinchao actually has no real friends in the literary circle - after his accident, the so-called acquaintances and friends are thinking about the pros and cons of this matter for themselves, and they plan to make profits for themselves, but none of them have the idea of complaining about it and complaining about it.

Therefore, it is not surprising that even the man whom he personally called an old friend has not heard from him for a long time after a chance meeting with him.

has the same opinion as the tiger girl who was reminded, before this Wan someone's accident, there were many people who were repeatedly invited so impatiently, and it was definitely not only the bitter vegetable man.

Others who might have had some influence on the things he had calculated were graciously invited by him without exception.

Wan Jinchao is by no means a truly generous man - in public, with flowery words and sharp words, there are many times when he applauds various charitable activities, in fact, he himself has never donated even a penny to charity.

In the face of all kinds of doubts from people, this sharp-toothed man is obviously good at dealing with these, and he likes to use his proficient words to pull all the topics that are unfavorable to him to the sky!

At the Imperial Academy of Letters, there was a deputy secretary-general - a sensitive time for a critical vacancy, and as a very self-motivated man, Wan Jinchao had expressed great interest in it on various occasions.

Where the benefits are, move forward.

In seeking this position, Wan Jinchao, who thinks that he is more qualified than others, will do strange things, and it is not surprising to everyone who knows his nature.

"When there is a benefit, this Wan someone, greedy and independent, has a personality like Wang Ba - if you bite it, you will not let go of your mouth, and you will not share any scum with others!"

Wan Jinchao's friend, who was plotted against him for a literary award because he was conspired upon, and the person who publicly broke with him after waking up once commented like this.

The other onlookers did not speak, but they all secretly agreed with this statement.

Because, there are other examples that can prove:

Wan Jinchao has always worked hard in things that are of great benefit to him, and when he cleaned up possible competitors, the viciousness of his attack was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Perhaps it is because he thinks that at the pinnacle of his personal future, this must be a desperate gamble - the crucial time to take out all his skills and make a last-ditch effort, and there is no need to hide anything.

When he was competing for this position, he used all kinds of "unwarranted" rumors to attack other candidates who were also suitable for that position, and jumped up and down to perform so hard - who doesn't know what the reason for the "Sima Zhao's heart" to be undoubtedly revealed?

A person who is extremely stingy in his bones will take the initiative to invite people who are usually ignored because they are useless, and it is impossible to say that there is no other intention in this.

In fact, the night before, as the principal of the party convener, before going to bed, Niu Deli smoked, no matter how dissatisfied his wife was, he pondered repeatedly in his heart, Wan Jinchao repeatedly took the initiative to invite himself to dinner.

What are the various possible reasons, Lao Niu is very interested to know.

Lao Wan likes to support, and the reputation of young and beautiful literary women is prominent—so maybe he wants to introduce a female reader who admires him, so that she can meet Lao Niu who has some influence in the publishing industry?

Perhaps, some important person from a foreign publishing house stayed in Tiandu for a few days, and asked Wan Jinchao to help arrange for the two to meet and discuss some cooperation matters.

Although, those are things in the past, and there is no need to analyze them now.

But Lao Niu didn't plan to underestimate this old friend, he didn't feel that this long-sleeved guy who was good at dancing and liked to eat alone would not be able to cope with such a trivial matter.

Besides, he asked Lao Niu to choose a suitable day by himself, according to common sense, it should not be a matchmaker with whom to meet.

Well, the only suitable reason arises:

Niu Deli, who looks inconspicuous on the surface, is actually a person with a backstage.

With the support and recommendation of his backers, although Niu Deli himself did not make any efforts, he was actually one of the strong contenders for the position of deputy secretary general of the Imperial Academy of Letters.

He had already guessed the biggest reason for the other party to ask for a meeting - Wan Jinchao must have figured out the real situation, and wanted to threaten and lure Niu Deli to make him take the initiative to withdraw from this job competition!

"Okay, it's good for this 10,000 people to die this time!"

Although he has always been kind to others, his core interests have been touched after all.

Niu Deli, a man who usually has the reputation of a good old man, found that he almost fell for someone else's possible trick, and he couldn't help but curse gloatingly.
