I also reached out and patted Duan Xiangloong's shoulder, "Duan Xiangloong, actually, I didn't think that you would be the one playing dirty in the casino. I also didn't expect that not only were you not unfortunate, you even became Boss Lee's close partner."
Duan Xiangloong smiled with pride, and imitated my tone just now: "You think too much." Yi Ke, let me tell you. I admit that I am no match for you in a duel, but in terms of doing things and doing business, I am confident that I am not inferior to you.
"Don't mention before, in Boss Lee's eyes, we are now, in the eyes of others, like you, just an honest man who relies on martial arts to survive, while I, Lin Xiangru, am a military advisor who relies on the brain to live. Look, the difference in our roles is huge."
I chuckled. "I hope you can use your brain to continue eating this bowl of rice. Don't eat from the bowl and look at the pot. Don't be too smart."
Duan Xiangloong's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"
I said, "It's nothing. I was just reminding you out of friendship with my classmates!"
Duan Xiangloong's expression slightly relaxed, "Boss Lee and I share economic interests, we can even be considered as partners. I am a businessman, what do merchants want? Naturally, I knew that I wouldn't be so stupid as to smash my own rice bowl.
I admit that I'm a smart person, not as smart as others, but still much smarter than you are. So, thank you for the reminder, but, I want to tell you, no! If you work for Boss Lee, you will only get a salary. As for me, I have a share in Baccarat. This is the biggest difference between us.
A person like me can make money anywhere dealing with others. Even if I am caught off guard, I am still a man of honor. Yi Ke, you are just a worker under Boss Lee. I'd actually like to advise you to think more about your future and life. I don't need you to worry about me. Of course, we're all old classmates. If you lack money, I still have no problem with it. I'll at least give you three thousand and five thousand, no problem at all! "
I laughed out loud and patted Duan Xiangloong's shoulder: "Old classmate, you really are a good person, a good person. Nowadays, such a loyal classmate like you, such a good person, is really rare. "Alright, don't worry. I will remember what you said today. I will definitely remember your advice to me. I will definitely live up to your expectations and blessings and plan for my future and tomorrow."
Duan Xiangloong also laughed and put his arm around my shoulders: "Yi Ke, we are old classmates after all. Although there was some misunderstanding before, but look, now, our relationship is so good. It's like we are blood brothers."
"That's right, that's right!" I nodded. "Our relationship can be said to be a model for our university classmates. We should all be brothers. "
"Yeah, yeah." Then, he took out his lighter and lit it for me as well. After taking two sips, his body began to relax as his right leg kept on becoming cocky: "Yi Ke, look at you, you're in Hsinghai, I'm in Ningzhou, the two of us are in the south and the north. With us, Boss Lee is truly like a tiger that has wings, although old friend you are already in a completely different world, but I, Duan Xiangloong, am not a person who doesn't care about his classmates anymore. Don't worry, once I get rich, at least you won't lose your mind. I'll eat your meat and drink soup."
I said, "Hey, old classmate, when you say it like that, I'm so touched that tears are about to fall out. With your words, I'm satisfied. It's not like my university class was in vain. "I am truly grateful. I have been waiting for you to make a huge fortune."
He took out his phone and looked at it with a slightly abnormal expression. He glanced at me, then pressed refuse and put the phone back into his pocket. He smiled and said, "Alright, let's not talk anymore. Old classmate, I have to go first."
"Alright, you go first."
After sending Duan Xiangloong off, I took a taxi and left. I remembered the number of the taxi and rushed to the entrance of the hotel. I quickly took a taxi and got on, but the taxi that Duan Xiangloong called was nowhere to be seen.
"To the Shangri-La Hotel!" I said to the cab driver.
After a while, we met a red light at the second intersection and stopped. I looked ahead and saw Duan Xiangloong in the taxi.
"Just follow this taxi. Maintain a distance of 100 meters!" I pointed to the taxi and said to the driver.
The cab driver looked at me and said nothing.
Then the green light came on and he followed it.
Sure enough, Duan Xiangloong was heading to Shangri-La Hotel.
After today's meeting with Duan Xiangloong, my heart suddenly burst with a long-lost heroic spirit and courage. That was the pride and ambition of the struggle that was almost gone with the bankruptcy of my business and the departure of Dong Xue.
Even though I've been working hard, I haven't been able to regain the passion and passion that I once had to start a business. I just work with a muddled mind, working for the sake of survival.
Today, I was suddenly stimulated by Duan Xiangloong, a flame of vengeance ignited the extinguished light in my heart.
I suddenly became ruthless and swore, I want to rise, I want to rise again, I want to rise again, I want to rise again while defeating one opponent after another, I want to rise again, I want to regain the glory and dignity of the past!
Actually, I also know that the idea of rising up has been surging in my heart more than once. It's just that Duan Xiangloong's stimulation has become a fuse today.
This thought is accumulated day by day, and it comes from the countless conversations, guidance and encouragement that I received with Qiu Tong and her Floating Dream. It comes from the excitement and touching that I received from my interactions with Hai Zhu and Dong Xue. It comes from the experience and experience of me, a wanderer, over a year.
I knew very well that my blood flowed with a nature that never gave in, that never gave in, that never gave way, that never faded, that never faded, even though it was brief, or dormant, as long as my blood flowed, as long as my brain thought.
Just as I was thinking, the taxi in front of me stopped. Duan Xiangloong got off the taxi at the entrance of Shangri-La Hotel and walked in with large strides.
"Sir, aren't you getting out of the car?" the cab driver said to me.
"No, keep going!" I gave him the address of Hai Zhu's house. I wanted to see Hai Zhu.
The taxi continued its journey. Not far away, I received a call from Dong Xue.
"Ke, where are you?"
"In a taxi!"
"Alone?"
"Yes sir!"
"Go to the corridor at the southwest corner of Tianyi Square!" Dong Xue said in an unquestionable tone.
"What?" "No," I said.
"I'm not doing anything. What, are you afraid that I'll eat you?" Dong Xue's tone carried a hint of bitterness.
I hesitated. "Is there anything I can't say on the phone?"
"No, I will go right away and wait for you there!" If you don't want to come, then I'll just wait! " With that, Dong Xue hung up.
I put the phone down and said to the driver, "Go to Tianyi Square!"
Soon enough, we arrived at Tianyi Square. I got out of the car and went straight to the corridor in the southwest corner, where Dong Xue and I used to date many times. Once upon a time, countless nights, we would sit here quietly and chat for a long time, talk about life, talk about ideals, talk about the future, talk about tomorrow, and talk about the good life we would have in the future.
But now, all of this has become a bubble, with me from a boss to a worker to a bubble.
As I walked, I felt a pang of bitterness, as well as a wave of melancholy and loss.
Dong Xue followed me to Hsinghai. She found out from my mother that I was still the boss so she came with me, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have gone there at all.
She thought I'd gotten up quickly after falling, and it was still that awesome little boss, but I turned out to be a laborer. It was also the reason she finally left me.
I thought of Hai Zhu, who never left me, and swore that whether I was poor or rich, I would be with her. It moved me every time I thought about it.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
When we reached the gallery, I found Dong Xue standing by a large pillar. She was staring up at the carved reliefs on the pillar.
I approached Dong Xue and coughed.
Dong Xue turned her head and saw me.
I walked up to Dong Xue and looked at her.
Dong Xue looked at me deeply and said nothing.
Dong Xue's gaze made me feel a little uncomfortable and a little sad. I coughed and said, "What is it? Tell me."
Dong Xue still didn't speak, but she was still staring intently at my face.
I took a deep breath. "Do you want to know why I'm with Duan Xiangloong today?"
Dong Xue nodded.
"It's very simple. Duan Xiangloong is now in a business partnership with Lee Shun. Lee Shun is asking me out for a meal today, and Duan Xiangloong is participating as well." "No," I said.
"Yes." Dong Xue nodded. "Continue!"
"That's all, nothing more!"
"Gone?" Dong Xue looked at me, her expression tense and uneasy.
"I understand what you really want to know?" Suddenly, resentment arose in my heart: "Don't worry, Duan Xiangloong and I will have dinner today and never talk about you from beginning to end. Not only today, even in the future, when I meet him, I won't talk about anything related to you! "
Dong Xue's face relaxed for a moment. Then, a trace of pain flashed across her face. She sighed deeply and turned her head to look into the distance.
"Is everything alright? Then I'm leaving!" As I said that, I stood still and stared at Dong Xue's figure. My heart started to feel cold again.
Dong Xue turned her head and looked at me. "Didn't you leave?" "Why didn't he leave?"
I was speechless.
"Let me ask you, in the previous world, there was a sign at the airport to pick you all up. Who arranged this?" Dong Xue suddenly asked me.
"I don't know!" "No," I replied.
Of course, I couldn't tell Dong Xue that it was the Emperor. Wouldn't that be equivalent to betraying the Emperor? I didn't know the relationship between Dong Xue and Zhang Xiaotian, so I decided to keep it a secret.
