…
In the lounge, Li Beihan looked at the dialog box on his mobile phone from time to time. Before the first debate was over, he stood up and prepared to go out.
It happened that at this time, someone was walking up to him without knowing whether to live or die.
"Where are you going, Mr. Li?" Han Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile on his face, as if he couldn't feel the chill in the man at all.
Li Beihan stood still and glanced sideways at Han Zhiyuan. His brows were cold and stern. Just one glance could make someone take a step back.
"Where am I going and need to report to you?"
Han Zhiyuan's smile froze on his face and he laughed: "How dare you do this? It's just... if you leave such an important presidential election? What will we, the chaebols, do?"
He looked embarrassed, but there was a bit of pride in his cunning eyes.
This was not exactly what he wanted.
Before Li Beihan could speak, Sun Mu, the leader of a dragon-headed force in a certain area, answered.
"It seems Li always doesn't take us chaebols seriously."
Li Beihan raised his eyebrows casually, his eyes not even falling on that person.
"Otherwise, what's the dog's bark?"
Sun Mu didn't react for a moment. At this age, he could be Li Beihan's grandfather, but he was called a dog by a junior.
He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
But by the time he reacted, Li Beihan had already walked away.
"This Li Beihan is so shameless and arrogant!" Sun Mu slammed the table and gasped.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Sun, Mr. Li has this temper." Han Zhiyuan comforted him.
"Ha... He just relies on the Li Family Group to control the transportation lines! As long as the country of China changes hands, his right to control the transportation lines will also be shaken. Then we will see if he will be as arrogant as he is now."
Sun Mu lost his temper, and he had long been dissatisfied with Li Beihan's methods.
The heads of other consortiums also nodded in thought.
The situation is now very clear. The probability of Gu Xiao being re-elected is low. Not only that, he is also likely to be sanctioned for this major mistake.
Not to mention that Gu Xiao couldn't defeat Ling Qiangdong, even if he could defeat him, he wouldn't be able to compete with the Ling family with his power.
There are still unresolved conflicts between Li Beihan and Li Jingzhou, and it is impossible to reach cooperation.
It seems that Ling Qiangdong will soon be able to replace Gu Xiao in this position.
China is really going to change.
Now people from all walks of life are competing secretly, weighing the pros and cons.
The previous live debate continues.
After some speeches, there were particularly loud calls for Ling Qiangdong to be the leader throughout the live broadcast.
Even the representatives from all walks of life below began to discuss quietly.
Ling Qiangdong looked at Gu Xiao with a provocative look.
Eighteen years.
He finally stood here again.
In the past eighteen years, there has never been a moment when he didn't want to see Gu Xiao frustrated.
Why?
In terms of qualifications, background, and outstanding contributions to China, he was better than Gu Xiao in every aspect. But why was he elected as the president in the end? Is it because he married a good wife who could help him?
He refused.
I have never been convinced.
Day and night for these years, he had been waiting for this day.
At the end of the first debate, Gu Xiao and Ling Qiangdong stood together and shook hands.
When the two shook hands, the veins on the back of their hands bulged.
"Gu Shouting, your wife and children don't seem to have come to support you. It seems... you are not very successful as a person." Ling Qiangdong said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
The sharp eyes under the lenses narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips curved into a mocking arc.
Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and retracted his fingertips slightly. Even so, he couldn't even say a word in rebuttal.
The straight spine seemed to have been broken by someone, and the white hair on his head showed the vicissitudes of life.
"Why bother." Gu Xiao withdrew his hand and looked at Ling Qiangdong.
The once firm black eyes were now gradually losing their brightness.
He uttered these three words calmly and coldly, but Ling Qiangdong's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he suddenly showed a trace of confusion.
Why bother?
He said why bother! ?
It seemed that the eighteen years when he was driven out of China were not worth mentioning in his eyes.
It was clear that he, Ling Qiangdong, was the high-ranking person now, so why was he suddenly stung by Gu Xiao's indifferent attitude.
The position he had worked so hard for all these years was actually so dismissive in Gu Xiao's eyes.
Ling Qiangdong sneered, feeling extremely irritable.
He must defeat him completely next.
Gu Xiao had just stepped off the stage and before he even had a chance to breathe, he saw Li Beihan walking quickly.
"What happened?" Gu Xiao's frown never relaxed.
He had already lost the debate, and now he was even more upset. His eyes glanced at Gu Ran's position from time to time.
"Where is Ye Nanyi?" Li Beihan's voice was cold and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"She is in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and placed with Gu Ran." Gu Xiao sighed, and after a pause he said, "Don't forget what you promised me. If the source of the virus cannot be found, Ye Nanyi must appear..." Taking the blame.
"I didn't agree." Li Beihan raised his eyelids and looked into Gu Xiao's red bloodshot eyes with a suspicious expression.
The little thing is with Gu Ran, he knows it.
But she couldn't be contacted today, and Gu Xiao had always wanted her to take the blame.
It was hard for him not to suspect that this had something to do with Gu Xiao.
It was his little guy who agreed in the first place.
As long as he refuses, no one dares to do anything to his little things.
"you……"
Isn't this rogue behavior?
Li Beihan looked away and walked straight past him.
"Beihan, where are you going?" Gu Xiao frowned and asked, "In this situation, you...you have to leave too, right?"
Li Beihan didn't answer.
At this moment, Li Jingzhou came to the backstage from the delegation's seat.
He knew that the current situation was not optimistic, and he came to find a solution with Gu Xiao.
Li Beihan looked at Li Jingzhou indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.
Two seconds later, he withdrew his gaze and passed by rubbing Li Jingzhou's shoulder.
"Xiaohan..."
Li Jingzhou turned to call him, but Li Beihan didn't look back, leaving only a trace of his long back.
Gu Xiao held his forehead and suddenly laughed bitterly.
all gone.
"Jingzhou, do you think I'm really a failure as a human being?"
Li Jingzhou didn't expect Gu Xiao to ask such a question, and there was a moment of confusion in his eyes, "Don't say that. You are at least a good leader."
He is the one who really failed.
Two middle-aged men of the same age looked at each other. Even though they were filled with pain, they shouldered too many responsibilities in this position.
