"I said, there is nothing to be afraid of. We will face each other sooner or later anyway."
That's the future leader over there. When Tao Guangming said this, he almost regarded himself as the future leader here.
Li Wenjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be a bit too arrogant for you to say that?"
Tao Guangming smiled: "You don't know that old man in my family. He doesn't care what others say at the beginning, he only cares about the final result. Besides, I can't say I'm afraid. That doesn't make him feel embarrassed. It's tantamount to him and his mortal enemy. Mr. Kong’s match. As a result, I gave in before the fight started on his side.”
Li Wenjun thought for a while and said, "That's true."
Tao Guangming: "He asked me if I wanted help."
Li Wenjun: "Yeah."
Tao Guangming: "I said no, I have Li Wenjun."
Li Wenjun raised his forehead and said, "You are right. But what the old man meant is to ask you if you need him to send his own people to help. Will he be unhappy if you make me a member of your family?"
Tao Guangming said: "No. He is very happy. He said it would be best if Li Wenjun is willing to help, otherwise I must keep a good hold on you as a friend."
Li Wenjun suddenly realized: In fact, the old man was not only testing Tao Guangming, but also testing him. Although the Kong family came to target him, the Tao family didn't think so. They also have to guard against Li Wenjun defecting to the Kong family under pressure and temptation.
Tao Guangming added: "The Kong family wants to seize the construction toll rights of that road. After I told the provincial construction company what you meant, I don't know who told the Kong family. Then the Kong family thought this matter was a big deal, so they took advantage of it. It’s a good opportunity to give it a try this time. Moreover, the requirements of this road are not high, the amount of work is not large, and the investment is not too large. It is the most suitable way to test the water.”
Li Wenjun smiled: "Then let them try. My purpose is to improve the transportation in Cha County. It is not to make money and carry out this project."
Tao Guangming: "But by the end of the year, next year at the latest, the country plans to build a major artery that runs from north to south. If you have the qualifications to build a highway, you will be more likely to win one section of this big project, not just all of it."
Only then did Li Wenjun understand why the Tao family was so interested in this municipal highway. It turned out that they were heading for that artery. If the Kong family hadn't intervened this time, the Tao family wouldn't have told Li Wenjun the truth at all.
Li Wenjun pursed his lips.
Tao Guangming said: "Don't be angry. I came here to celebrate the New Year this time, and the old man told me about this. My dad didn't know about it, because it was the higher-ups who decided to come."
Li Wenjun thought for a while: It is also possible. If the decision had been made earlier, the Kong family would not have taken action now.
He asked: "That means we still have to do it."
Tao Guangming said: "Yes. That's what the old man said. You can only succeed and not fail. If you feel that you can't handle it, speak up early and don't delay things."
Li Wenjun sighed softly: "The Kong family is not just in the county."
Tao Guangming said: "Yes, judging from their posture, they plan to occupy this province. There are people from the Kong family airborne in the city and province. But the most important people are in Cha County, so they still think highly of you. Follow me..."
Li Wenjun smiled: "It seems that you were so frightened by the old man that you couldn't sleep, so you called me for comfort?"
Tao Guangming was quiet and annoyed: "Can't you just pretend to be stupid for once? Besides, who else can I talk to for discussion except you?"
Li Wenjun laughed like a goose: "Eh, eh, eh, I'm here, you're not afraid of anything. It's still the same old method, you come forward and I do it. When the soldiers come, they will block the water and the earth will cover them. If he doesn't move, you can apply as usual." If he moves, we'll find a way. Don't worry, go to bed early, and try to hold your son as soon as possible."
Tao Guangming: "I'll go. I'm at my grandpa's house now. I'm either an uncle or an eldest brother. It's not convenient at all..."
Li Wenjun: "Go to bed early and don't think about it. No matter how scared you are, you have to come back to find a solution."
Tao Guangming couldn't help but scolded: "Fuck, Li Wenjun, do you know the seriousness? If the Kong family gains a firm foothold, you and I will no longer be able to hang out here. Your old nest will be destroyed. Before All your efforts have been in vain. This is a time of life and death, and you are just thinking about sleeping..."
Li Wenjun said: "The more life and death is at stake, the more important it is to eat well and sleep well. Because this is a protracted war that will last a lifetime, not a guerrilla war. I'm going to bed, good night."
When his stock rang the bell on the Nasdaq, and when his stock fell to the point of almost being delisted, he ate and slept.
This is nothing.
The Kong family is nothing.
He hung up the phone without waiting for Tao Guangming to hum again.
-----
Just eat and drink during the Chinese New Year.
Tao Guangming and Ji Rushi came back on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, and they also picked up Ji Qingyan.
Ji Qingyan brought back a lot of rare things to share with the neighbors next door, and Li Wenjun's family was naturally indispensable. Although Ji Qingyan tried his best to hide his unusual identity, he only brought red dates, walnuts, and persimmons.
But the red dates, which are bigger than a dozen fists, and the dried sea cucumbers and abalones given to Li Wenjun's family are rare things that many people have never seen in this era, which are enough to show the financial resources of the Ji family.
Ji Qingyan came to Liu Cuihong's house to pay New Year's greetings, and before leaving, she quietly waved to Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun understood immediately, stood up and said, "I'll see Tailor Ji off." Then he followed Ji Qingyan out.
Ji Qingyan stood not far away and waited for him to pass. The way Ji Qingyan stood coldly in the snow, at first glance, it was easy to look like Ji Rushi.
Li Wenjun hurried over: "Tailor Ji, do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"
Ji Qingyan said lightly: "I heard about the Kong family when I went back this time. Although we have always been on good terms with the Kong family, now that we are married to the Tao family, we naturally can't just sit idly by and ignore it. But we are The energy here is also limited, so it’s hard to intervene directly. If you need help, just tell me."
Li Wenjun hurriedly said: "Thank you."
Ji Qingyan added: "We didn't help you with the communication infrastructure project last time. Firstly, we thought you didn't need help. With your ability, you can definitely solve it yourself. Secondly, last time it was the Tao family's own internal affairs. differences. It’s not easy for us to interfere.”
Li Wenjun nodded: "I know, don't worry."
Ji Qingyan looked at him and smiled: "Advance and retreat in a measured way, neither humble nor arrogant. If I didn't know your origin, I would really have thought that you were also a descendant of some big family who was left behind here. I didn't expect that Zhan Yan would have such blessings. I’m really happy for her.”
Ji Qingyan's attitude when she spoke just now was a bit like that of a hostess from a wealthy family, and now she has returned to her usual self.
