Chapter Fifty-Eight: Against the Sky and the Beauty of the River (I)
I've been mixed for a while now, and my favorite comrade-in-arms is Jiang Mei. Because Jiang Mei is righteous and capable, she can have a better future, but she chooses to follow me and support me silently, which is why I like her the most. And I try my best to give Jiang Mei whatever I can, after all, the two of us are already comrades-in-arms in life.
As soon as I heard that my side was not easy to deal with. Jiang Mei really took the car back from Guangzhou. In the evening, she arrived in Shenzhen, and I drove to pick her up.
Jiang Mei, who took office in Guangzhou, had a lot of scenery, she wore an Armani women's suit, wearing sunglasses that I couldn't say, walked into the car and sat down, and then lay down in the back seat with a big grin, stretched and said, "Brother Cheng." You can't solve it before you even start? ”
"Well, don't talk about it......," I sighed helplessly, "these guys are really annoying, they are so cautious, I'm afraid I won't even have time to call you at night." Anyway, now they are all mixed in Guangzhou, how is the situation? ”
Jiang Mei smiled: "It's so simple, so simple that there's nothing to mention at all." Mr. Zhang also called me often, and his words meant to hand over the whole of Guangdong to me, but it still needs an opportunity, so I haven't found a chance yet. How to talk about things in the evening? ”
"I'll make an appointment to meet somewhere first. We'll see when the time comes......" I said sadly, lighting a cigarette, "and now that I've driven heaven out of the chaos, I don't know what to do for a while, and life seems to have lost its direction." ”
"Don't worry, something will happen soon." Jiang Mei chuckled.
We were chatting, and Luo Qiaoqiao suddenly called me and said that Li Jinzheng wanted to talk to me. I asked her to give the phone to Li Jinzheng, and then Li Jinzheng told me the address of a restaurant, I thought for a while, and asked Luo Qiaoqiao to bring Li Jinzheng to this restaurant, and then we also drove over.
When I came to the restaurant box, I asked Luo Qiaoqiao to go back for the time being. When Li Jinzheng saw that I had brought someone over, he was surprised: "Who is this?" ”
"This is Emi, my brainchild...... "You may have heard her name." Maybe you haven't heard of it. ”
"Of course I've heard of Jiang Mei......," Li Jinzheng slapped the table, and he said very seriously, "Jiang Mei's reputation in the Taoist world is not high, but among the high-level leaders of all Taoist organizations, her reputation is very big. People say that the beauty of the river wins the world, and the evaluation is very high. ”
I was stunned for a moment, I couldn't imagine that those leaders were also so eager for talents like Jiang Mei. And hearing the praise about herself, Jiang Mei only smiled slightly and didn't speak.
"They'll be here in a while...... "Li Jinzheng said seriously, "I will try not to participate in your next conversation, and remember your promise." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry, I can't do anything else, but if I say it, it will definitely be done." ”
Li Jinzheng nodded reassuringly, and we sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. was chatting, there was a knock on the door outside, Li Jinzheng shouted to come in, and saw a man and a woman walk in outside the house. The man was dressed in a suit and had a big bald head. The woman was dressed in civilian clothes and had a calm look on her face.
Li Jinzheng beckoned the two of them to sit down quickly, and the bald head smiled at us, and he said, "Mr. Jiang Cheng." We've seen you for a long time, and I'll introduce you to you, I'm Lao Guang, because I have a big bald head. And this one next to me. She doesn't like others to know her name, you just call her Cold Beauty, this is our nickname. ”
I nodded, and introduced to Lao Guang and the two with a smile: "This is my think tank Jiang Mei." ”
"Emi?"
Lao Guang and Leng Meiren both exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Jiang Mei in disbelief. Then Lao Guang coughed and said, "Let's get straight to the point, what is Mr. Jiang Cheng meeting with us this time?" ”
"Since you're so direct. Then I won't hide it......" I laughed, "I hope to cooperate with you to deal with the Heavenly Overlord together." You're not doing well these days, and you need allies. I also need allies. There is a good saying, the enemy of the enemy, that is the friend. We have the same enemy, and we don't have a grudge against each other, so why not join forces? ”
In the face of my words, Lao Guang and Leng Meiren were not surprised, probably they had already guessed that I wanted to be an alliance. At this time, Lao Guang smiled, and he said calmly, "Mr. Jiang Cheng." You're right, and we've considered an alliance with you. But to be honest, we have some concerns that we would like to talk to you about, but these concerns are a bit offensive, and we don't know whether to talk about them or not. ”
I nodded, "Just say it." ”
Lao Guang smiled: "Then I'll say it bluntly, although our situation can be an alliance, it is still a little different." You should know. At present, the strength of Rendao is equivalent to one-tenth of that of domineering, but ...... Your strength is only one-twentieth of that of benevolence. You don't have a very outstanding powerhouse under you, only Jiang Mei, a wise man, makes us have to respect it. Mr. Jiang Cheng, if I guessed correctly, at present, your subordinates are the most capable of fighting, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is still you, and compared with you, there is still a certain distance between others and you. But put you in our way. There are reincarnated people who are stronger than you, and there are reincarnated people who are similar to you......"
"What's more, you are still the most capable man to die since the founding of Taoism......" Leng Meiren suddenly interrupted her bald head, and she said coldly, "We found a weak ally, but this ally often causes trouble and needs us to wipe our butts." Mr. Jiang Cheng, I really don't understand what can make us an alliance. ”
I was speechless for a while, and everyone was right. At this time, I hurriedly set my eyes on Jiang Mei, hoping that she could come up with a solution.
Jiang Mei smiled, and she said softly, "You are right, compared to Rendao. We are indeed too weak, but there are three things that you need to take into account. First: Although Jiang Cheng's subordinates have no one who can fight, the relationship between him and his superiors is very hard. Mr. Zhang Huaxu loves Jiang Cheng very much. His inheritor, Dongfang Xue, and Jiang Cheng are also close friends. In addition, there is the Jiang family, Jiang Erqian, the young head of the Jiang family, who has experienced life and death battles with Jiang Cheng, and it can be said that he has a deep relationship. This is the advantage of networking. You can't argue with that, can you? ”
Lao Guang nodded and said softly, "Go on." ”
"Second, that is Jiang Cheng's economic situation. I have the idea to develop Guangdong thoroughly and make this land our economic source. And you Rendao are currently running around, and you will definitely not be able to settle down and make money, nor will you be able to attract new blood, because you are currently in a state of desertion. What can a deserter do? There's not even a place to live, nothing can be done. Then you will only get weaker and weaker, and finally you will be eliminated by the tyranny......"
"The third and most important thing is. If you cooperate with Jiang Cheng, then we can provide you with a place to live, give you work, economy, common development, and work together. I will also do my best to help the development of Rendao, so that you can improve in terms of personnel, economy, and diplomacy. Of course, you can not come to our side, but go to other powerful forces to cooperate, but they themselves are also a big family, and you have gone there as deserters, and in the end, you will also be sent to the fence, and you will be subject to many constraints, and even suppressed development. Unlike us, we will achieve a win-win situation for everyone. ”
Lao Guang and Leng Meiren were already frowning, their eyes were a little evasive, and their confident demeanor before was dissipated by Jiang Mei's words.
Because Jiang Mei's words point out the most important problem: deserters, if there is no place to live, there is nothing, what right to speak!? If you don't have the right to speak, what conditions are there to talk about!?
"So ......"
Jiang Mei lifted the teapot, gently poured me a pot of tea, and said indifferently: "Sometimes don't think too highly of yourself, and don't think too low of others." You want to say that it is my family Jiang Cheng who came to ask for your cooperation. No, it's not, it's you who are asking us to cooperate, and ...... There is no way back for you. ”
