Xie Wendong said politely to the young man: "There is no need to fight this anymore. Even if you win, he can't stop us. I hope you can move out soon, otherwise everyone will be unhappy. The government has already allocated you a new building, which is a hundred times better than this place. Why do you still stay in such a shabby place!"
The young man glanced at Xie Wendong. Seeing that the man was young but spoke in an old-fashioned manner, he said loudly, "We make our own decisions. You hooligans can't interfere. I just don't want to move. Do you dare to burn my house? I don't believe that there is no law to govern you."
Xie Wendong sneered and asked, "The law? Why do you talk to me about the law? Do you know that you have already violated the law? This land was developed by the government, and a new place for you to live has been arranged. Why don't you move out?!" Xie Wendong turned around and said to the residents who were watching, "I tell you, we are gangsters and bad guys. We can do anything. If you don't move out, I will burn your home and demolish your house!"
When Xie Wendong spoke, he naturally exuded an intimidating aura. People who were close to him would have difficulty breathing. Even ordinary people would know that he was no ordinary person when they saw him! Then he pointed at the young man and said, "And you, don't think you are great just because you have learned a few tricks. You are nothing in my eyes! I will give you and all of you three days. I will come back after three days. If I see anyone who still refuses to leave, no matter who you are, I will burn down your house! Don't take my words as a joke!" After that, Xie Wendong waved his hand and led everyone back to the car.
The young man stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, I want to know who you are."
Xie Wendong opened the car door and turned around and said, "My name is Xie Wendong!" After that, he got in the car and drove away with everyone else. In the car, Sanyan covered his cheek and said vaguely, "Brother Dong, are we going too far now? Q Si used to do this often before, and I feel like I am following in his footsteps!"
Xie Wendong shook his head and said, "We are us, and he is him, we are different. He is arrogant and doesn't use his brain, but we know when to be arrogant and when to sink. We will never be like him and be 'clicked' by the Communist Party!" As he said this, Xie Wendong pretended to behead someone.
Sanyan was absolutely confident in Xie Wendong. He leaned back in the car seat and moaned softly, "This guy may not be older than me, but he is as good at fighting as I am, a veteran. He looks quite weak, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. He is a fucking genius!"
"Haha, they are from the martial arts team, you're lucky you can even fight them!"
"Oh, I thought so! Hehe, I'll have a chance to learn from him again in the future!" "Yes, there will be such an opportunity!"
The young man stood there and looked at the direction where the car disappeared for a long time. He couldn't calm down for a long time. He didn't expect that the man in his early twenties was actually Xie Wendong, the one who caused hundreds of murders in the Huohong Nightclub and was taken away by the military but was released safely!
Ordinary people may not know about the Huohong incident, but the police are very clear about it. The young man's cousin works in the Municipal Bureau and has told him about this new rising figure in H City. Today, he unexpectedly met him. Confusion flashed in the young man's eyes. He really couldn't understand what kind of person he was? In Huohong, he could kill dozens of Japanese and dozens of those Japanese running dogs, and now he came to bully ordinary people. . . . Maybe just like what his cousin said, Xie Wendong is a fan of the group!
After Xie Wendong established the company, he really knew what it meant to be busy. All matters, big and small, had to be handled by him. He thought Yu Chao would come to help share some of the burden, but this big man dragged Xie Wendong along to do it no matter how big or small the matter was. When the latter protested, Yu Chao said calmly: "The old man asked me to come here to teach you something. Since you have done a legitimate business, how can you be a top director with nothing in your head!?"
Yu Chao said one sentence, and Xie Wendong could no longer say anything else. He was right. Only what you have learned is yours, and what belongs to others is always someone else's. Xie Wendong no longer complained, and sometimes he would take the initiative to ask Yu Chao for advice on some issues. When he had nothing to do, he would go back to school to listen to economics, and he also bought a lot of books on this subject. Yu Chao secretly admired Xie Wendong for this. This person was really neat and tidy, and he had perseverance in doing things after making a decision. Moreover, it was really unusual for a person with his current status to listen to others. It seemed that the old man did not introduce the wrong person. Xie Wendong was indeed very good, and following him might really lead to great development!
After a period of busyness, Xie Wendong forgot his worries about Peng Ling, and only had trouble falling asleep late at night. After turning off the lights in the hotel room, Xie Wendong often lit a cigarette and sat on the windowsill to smoke slowly. He felt that he should hate her, but after meeting her, his heart beat faster and the hatred flew away.
What should I do with you? Xie Wendong said to himself while looking at the night outside the window. Looking up at the twinkling stars in the sky, Xie Wendong felt that he was too weak in terms of emotions. How could he be like this if he wanted to do something big! The scene when Peng Ling was helped away by the damn policeman reappeared in front of him. He extinguished his cigarette fiercely, and an idea formed in his mind: What I want, no one can get it. I just want her!
The soft moonlight outside the window shone into the room, reflecting the evil smile on Xie Wendong's lips.
The afternoon of the second day after leaving the bungalow area, Xie Wendong was checking documents in the company office when there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!" Xie Wendong said without raising his head.
The door was opened, and a beautiful figure walked in. This was Xie Wendong's secretary who had applied for the job. She was about 24 or 25 years old, a young and beautiful professional woman. Although she had just graduated, she had certain working abilities. But Xie Wendong chose her mainly because she was beautiful. Although he was not a lustful person, he thought that the secretary was someone he met often, and her appearance must be pleasing to him, so that he would not be bothered when working.
This young female secretary was exactly what Xie Wendong said was a "pleasing person". Her name was Zhang Qing, and she graduated from H University. Xie Wendong had to call her a senior. Any one of her facial features could be considered top-notch, and together they were a perfect combination. What Xie Wendong admired most was that she did not have the arrogant aura that other beautiful girls had.
"Sister Qing, what's up?" After Zhang Qing walked into the office, a faint fresh fragrance filled the air. Xie Wendong knew who it was without even looking up. He sighed inwardly, thinking that he was getting addicted to this smell!
Zhang Qing looked at Xie Wendong, who was several years younger than her and had become a boss, and said softly, "There's a young man named Qu Fei outside who wants to see you!"
"Qu Fei?" Xie Wendong looked up at Zhang Qing in confusion. What a familiar name. He tapped his head and remembered that it was the young man who had fought with Sanyan yesterday. But why did he come to see him? He smiled at Zhang Qing and said, "Please ask him to come in!"
Zhang Qing agreed and turned to leave. After a while, Zhang Qing led Qu Fei, who looked uneasy, in, and then said very clearly: "I'll go make coffee!" After that, Zhang Qing walked out of the office and closed the door.
After Zhang Qing left, Qu Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little uncomfortable with such a beautiful woman standing next to him. He casually looked around Xie Wendong's office and finally fixed his eyes on Xie Wendong. The latter closed the file in his hand and smiled, "Brother Qu, what do you want to see me about?"
Qu Fei walked to the opposite side of Xie Wendong and said calmly: "I am here to talk to you about the demolition on behalf of the twenty-one residents!"
"Oh!" Xie Wendong had guessed it in his mind when he came in, and said calmly: "If you intend to persuade me to change my mind, I don't think it's necessary. This is a done deal, I won't give up!"
Qu Fei's face changed, thinking to himself that it was amazing that the other party saw through his intentions without him saying anything, but he still tried his best to say: "Don't you know that our ancestors have lived here for generations, especially the elderly, they have long regarded this place as a part of their lives, and asking them to leave is more sad than taking their lives..."
Xie Wendong interrupted him, "Don't you know that society is progressing? You are a young man, you can't be so conservative! The country is developing, the economy is advancing, what's wrong with leaving the shabby little hut and living in a building?"
"This is good for some people, but for those old people it is like losing their homes! I know something about you. Huohong did a great job and gave the Chinese people a chance to breathe. I think you are a good person and you shouldn't use the methods of the underworld on these old people!"
A good person? Xie Wendong smiled secretly in his heart. If the Japanese hadn't angered him, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk. But since he said so, he should act like one. Xie Wendong stood up and said righteously, "The matter of Huohong is not worth mentioning. All Japanese who come to China to cause destruction should be killed! Let's talk about the demolition. In fact, I was just trying to scare the residents yesterday. How could I really set fire to the house?! H City is the provincial capital, and its economy must naturally develop at the forefront. Building a shopping mall is a good thing that benefits both others and ourselves. Even if we can't help, we shouldn't hold the government back! I won't say much else. I hope you can go back and persuade the old people. It will be a good thing for the country and the government!"
After listening to Xie Wendong's righteous words, Qu Fei secretly felt ashamed. He only cared about himself, which was too insignificant compared to Xie Wendong. Although the other party was not very old, he understood things much better than himself. Qu Fei began to hesitate.
Xie Wendong saw this and continued, "Although my background is not glorious, I understand the principles of being a human being. Even if I don't urge the demolition, someone will still urge it. But since I am doing it now, I will not treat everyone unfairly. I will give each family 5,000 yuan for demolition. Of course, this money is from my own pocket, and I can't afford to give too much. This money is just a small token of my gratitude for the inconvenience caused to everyone!"
These words were both soft and hard. Qu Fei lowered his head after listening to them, thinking to himself that Xie Wendong was right. Even if he didn't come to urge the relocation, someone would still come. Maybe the person who came would be much tougher than Xie Wendong. If there was a real commotion, the government would not side with him. He said sadly, "I apologize to you for what happened yesterday. You may have a point, and I am not an ignorant person. I will try my best to persuade everyone when I go back. We will not accept this money, but thank you for your kindness!"
"Hey," Xie Wendong thought to himself that he should just pretend to be a good person to the end, and shook his head and said, "This money is completely my personal gift, I must give it to you!" Then he patted Qu Fei on the shoulder and said, "You are a sensible person, go back and persuade the old people, I think they will listen to you!"
Qu Fei looked at Xie Wendong gratefully. You know, five thousand yuan is nothing to Xie Wendong, but it is a considerable sum for those old people. Moreover, the units they used to work in are not doing well. Even those who work can't afford to pay, let alone these retired old people. The state has allocated funds to H City several times to allow loss-making enterprises to guarantee the living security of retired employees, but the money was withheld by the leaders of the units. Otherwise, why do they say that no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor as an official! Money goes into your own pocket, and you don't care about the life and death of others! Petty corruption harms the people, and big corruption hurts the country. . . . . . When corrupt officials use public funds to eat and drink, they don't know that this is a feast of human flesh. They drink the blood of the people and eat the flesh of the people! There are tears and blood under the neon lights!
(Oh no, I'm off topic! But it's good to let my thoughts fly before the end of this chapter!)
