Chapter 437: then translation of title

Just as I was about to turn and leave,

Translation: Just as I turned to leave,

Uncle Wang then said, "Zhao Jianqiang, you don't ask why I know you and your affairs?"

Translation: Wang Ge said at this moment: "Zhao Jianqiang, why don't you ask me how I know you and your affairs?"

Zhao Jianqiang, you don't ask why I know you and your affairs?

I quickly turned around.

Translation: I hurriedly turned around,

"Mr. Wang, there are some things I shouldn't pry into. I believe someone like you can easily read a person. Uncle Wang, if you know me, it means you have me in your sight."

Translation: "Mr. Wang, there are things I shouldn't ask too much about; I believe someone like you can easily understand a person. Wang Ge, knowing me shows you have me in your sight."

Knowing me means you have me in your sight.

"Hehe, Zhao Jianqiang, I'll check out Zhou Fuhai's computer. I'm sure I'll like a lot of what's inside."

Translation: "Hehe, Zhao Jianqiang, I will look at Zhou Fuhai's computer. I believe I will like much of its content."

"I want to bring up someone; do you know him?" Uncle Wang said.

Translation: "I want to mention someone; I don't know if you know him." Wang Ge said.

"Please, Mr. Wang, enlighten me."

Translation: "Please, Mr. Wang, clarify."

"Director Qi? Do you know him?" Uncle Wang asked.

Translation: "Director Qi. Do you know him?" Wang Ge asked.

"I know Director Qi; we worked together years ago, but he's now abroad." I said.

Translation: "Director Qi, I know him; we collaborated years ago, but he has already gone abroad." I said.

"Yeah, Old Qi's been overseas for a while; that old guy, once retired, travels the world with a starfruit, having a wild time."

Translation: "Yeah, Lao Qi has been abroad for a while; this old guy, after retiring, took Yang Tao and went crazy traveling the world."

"Zhao Jianqiang, I'm friends with Director Qi, you get that?" Uncle Wang looked at me and said.

Translation: "Zhao Jianqiang, I am friends with Director Qi; you understand?" Wang Ge looked at me and said.

Hearing that, I thought it was great—I'd reconnected with Uncle Wang.

Translation: Upon hearing that, I thought, "Great, this way I've reconnected with Wang Ge."

This gave us even more reason to join forces against the Zhou family.

Translation: It also gave us more reason to join forces against the Zhou family.

"Mr. Wang and Director Qi are friends, and I too have a long-standing partnership with Director Qi."

Translation: "Mr. Wang and Director Qi are friends, and I have had a long-term cooperative relationship with Director Qi.

"Back then, without Director Qi, there would be no Hengda Group. I never expected him to go abroad, and now others are scheming against me." I said helplessly.

Translation: "Back then, without Director Qi there would be no Da Heng Group; sigh, I never expected Director Qi to go abroad, leaving others to scheme against me." I said helplessly.

"Zhao Jianqiang, Director Qi and I have talked about you before."

Translation: "Zhao Jianqiang, Director Qi and I have talked about you.

"He asked me to help you regain the Hengda Group."

Translation: He asked me to help you, to help you take back the Da Heng Group.

"I've been keeping track of your situation."

Translation: I have been keeping track of your news.

"But they moved too quickly; before I could help, your group had already been taken over. A few days ago, you went to hang out with Wen Han at my place, and when he mentioned you were Zhao Jianqiang, I immediately remembered what Director Qi had told me."

Translation: But they acted too fast; before I could help you, your group had already been taken over. A few days ago, you went to my place with Wen Han to play, and when he mentioned you were Zhao Jianqiang, I immediately recalled what Director Qi had said.

"So I had someone investigate you."

Translation: So I had someone look into you.

"Good, you're the Zhao Jianqiang Director Qi mentioned."

Translation: Good, you are exactly the Zhao Jianqiang Director Qi mentioned.

"I know you've joined forces with Wen Han and could use my help."

Translation: I know you have already teamed up with Wen Han and need my extra help,

"To take on the Zhou family together."

Translation: to jointly deal with the Zhou family.

"To be honest, Zhou Renfeng once worked under my grandfather."

Translation: To be frank, Zhou Renfeng used to be a subordinate of my grandfather.

"My grandfather has retired and no longer gets involved in these affairs."

Translation: My grandfather has retired and no longer concerns himself with these matters.

"But I've been living in Beijing all along."

Translation: But I have always lived in Sijiucheng.

"Zhou Renfeng has been outrageous lately; nobody dares to meet his gaze."

Translation: Zhou Renfeng has been too crazy these years, nobody looks him in the eye,

"He shows no respect to anyone."

Translation: gives no face to anyone,

"He'll profit from anyone's money—this can't go on."

Translation: takes anyone's money, how can this be allowed,

"I've warned him twice to tone it down."

Translation: I have warned him twice to restrain himself,

"But he's held a grudge against me."

Translation: but he holds a grudge.

"No need to wonder what's on that computer—it surely holds Zhou Fuhai's assassination plan."

Translation: No need to ask what's in that computer; it surely contains Zhou Fuhai's assassination plan.

"Zhou Renfeng always behaves like this."

Translation: This Zhou Renfeng consistently likes to act this way.

"It looks like we need to step in and rein him in; otherwise, who knows what Zhou Renfeng might do." Uncle Wang said, then took a puff of smoke.

Translation: "It seems we need to step in and manage him; otherwise, who knows what Zhou Renfeng will do." Wang Ge finished speaking and took a puff of smoke.

"Hearing Uncle Wang say this, I was naturally pleased—Old Wang used to be Zhou Renfeng's boss, and even Uncle Wang's words don't reach him, showing just how arrogant Zhou Renfeng is."

Translation: Listening to Wang Ge say this, I was naturally pleased; this Wang Lao Ye Zi was Zhou Renfeng's former superior, and even Wang Ge's words don't get through to him, showing how arrogant Zhou Renfeng is.

"I quickly said, 'Mr. Wang, once you step in, the scales of victory will tip in our favor.'"

Translation: I hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, as soon as you act, the scales of victory will tilt toward us.

"I, Zhao Jianqiang, don't know how to thank you enough."

Translation: I, Zhao Jianqiang, truly don't know how to thank you,

"All we need to do is overthrow the Zhou family, and I can regain the Hengda Group."

Translation: as long as we topple the Zhou family, letting me retake the Da Heng Group.

"Then, Mr. Wang, if you need anything from me, just say the word."

Translation: then, if Mr. Wang needs me somewhere, a single word will do."

"Haha, Zhao Jianqiang, Director Qi spoke of you, saying you're a man of integrity."

Translation: "Haha, Zhao Jianqiang, Director Qi mentioned you, saying you are a righteous person.

"You conduct yourself very openly."

Translation: You handle things openly.

"Director Qi is very worried overseas; he wants to help you, but he's unable to because he's abroad."

Translation: Director Qi is very anxious abroad; he also wants to help you, but he's willing yet unable, after all he's not in the country.

"I heard Director Qi owns half of your shares, worth 400 million—is that true?" Uncle Wang asked offhandedly.

Translation: "I heard Director Qi holds half the shares at your place, worth 400 million—is that true?" Wang Ge asked casually.

"When Uncle Wang asked that, I cried out, 'Oh no!'"

Translation: Upon hearing Wang Ge ask that, I loudly said, "Oh no,"

"What does he mean? How does he know Director Qi has 400 million?"

Translation: "What does he mean by that? How does he know Director Qi has 400 million?"

"Those 400 million were just a promise I made with Xiao Feng to Director Qi, to get his help and also set a trap for Kong Shi and the others."

Translation: "Those 400 million were just a promise I and Xiao Feng made to Director Qi back then, to get his help and also plant a trap for Kong Shi and them."

"I get the feeling this trap might have been set for me."

Translation: "I increasingly feel that this trap might have been set for myself."

"Looking at Uncle Wang, I could only say, 'Uncle Wang, there's some truth to that. Director Qi mentioned it to you.'"

Translation: Looking at Wang Ge, I could only say: "Wang Ge, there is such a thing; Director Qi told you about it."

"He certainly has, and we've discussed our relationship."

Translation: "Of course, he told me; we two have what kind of relationship.

"He keeps nothing from me."

Translation: He hides nothing from me.

"I don't like to hide things when I act."

Translation: I, as a person, don't like to keep things hidden when I act.

"Director Qi said that if he helps you, that 400 million can be cashed out."

Translation: Director Qi said, as long as he helps you, that 400 million can be cashed out.

"400 million—really makes me salivate."

Translation: 400 million—really makes me salivate.

"Zhao Jianqiang, do you know why Wen Han had you deliver the computer?"

Translation: "Zhao Jianqiang, do you know why Wen Han had you bring the computer?"

"Uncle Wang is salivating over Director Qi's 400 million."

Translation: Wang Ge eyed Director Qi's 400 million greedily.

"After hearing that, I'm sure Uncle Wang has something else in mind."

Translation: After hearing all that, I felt Wang Ge definitely had hidden meaning in his words,

"Wen Han had me send the computer—is there something shady going on?"

Translation: Wen Han had me bring the computer; is there some shady matter?

"'Mr. Wang, I'm with Wen Han; he sent me to deliver the computer—this is perfectly normal.' I said."

Translation: "Mr. Wang, I follow Wen Han; he assigned me to bring the computer, this is quite normal." I said.

"Hehe, Zhao Jianqiang, you may not know that the Wen and Zhou families have always been bitter rivals; Wen Han and Zhou Jie have clashed many times, and even without your involvement, the two families are destined to split."

Translation: "Hehe, Zhao Jianqiang, you don't know this, but the Wen and Zhou families have always been arch-enemies; Wen Han and Zhou Jie have already clashed many times, and even if you don't get involved, the two families will still break apart.

It's just a matter of when they will break apart.

Your involvement advanced the time they would split, and you also hold a large amount of criminal evidence against the Zhou Family.

Wen Han, of course, now takes you seriously.

But relying only on the Wen Family's side of power to fight the Zhou Family might end in a tie.

It might not even reach a tie.

Wen Han wants me to step forward and jointly deal with the Zhou Family.

Wen Han sent a bronze artifact two days ago; I have already delivered it to my lord.

I also explained the situation to the lord.

The lord's attitude is to stay out of it as much as possible.

In these times, just having peaceful days is already good.

The assassination plan the Zhou Family drafted is only a plan; it's far from being carried out.

As the ancients often said, "No profit, no early rise."

Things without profit are just like shoveling snow in front of one's own door.

Wen Han told me about your group.

Your group's quality assets are still decent; I heard you started in construction.

You've been cultivating the real estate field for a long time.

As for me, I've always wanted to work in this area, but lack suitable manpower.

Running underground casinos isn't a respectable business; this thing could be shut down at any time.

I mentioned this to Wen Han, and he recommended you, saying you are a good candidate.

He also explained the value of your Da Heng Group.

By the way, Wen Han only has one duel entertainment hall, and that's worth only a few coins.

Zhao Jianqiang, do you understand what I mean? Why Wen Han let you deliver the computer—can you grasp that?

"I want to hear your thoughts," Wang Ge said, drawing on his cigar and exhaling a smoke ring.

The June afternoon sun was intense, and the wind was hot.

I stood outside the parasol, bathed in sunlight. Sweat dripped from my face.

In truth, my heart was bleeding.

Of course I could understand Wang Ge's meaning,

which is that he wants chips, he wants to provide me with chips, and not a small amount.

For people like him, tens of millions to hundreds of millions are just pocket change.

I feel like I rose from one pit only to fall into another.

Even if I topple the Zhou Family, what then?

There are also the Wen Family and the Wang Family. They are all young masters of Sijiucheng, walking almost the same path.

There are no good people here, nor bad people.

Only profit—who gives me billions of assets that make others envious?

My mind keeps calculating; I truly don't know how to answer Wang Ge.

Wen Han had me send the computer to Wang Ge, as if it were a chip.

I thought giving them the bronze artifact would satisfy them; I didn't expect their appetite to be so huge.

But can I refuse Wang Ge's request?

Do I now have the standing to bargain with him?

They sit high above,

If they don't lend a hand, I will forever be a fugitive, and we will never have a day of breakthrough.
