Chapter 953: Arrest Me

Tian Shi's words were not explained,

I certainly understood.

In this era, any matter must be handled through connections.

Zhu Sheng, these past days, has been thinking all day about his life after retirement,

This suddenly became very capable, and communicated directly with the superiors,

This shows that there is a kind of force supporting him behind the scenes.

He just didn't explain it to me.

Actually, the society we live in is a relationship society; no matter what position you're in, it depends on what your connections are like,

What connections can you make use of,

These connections can help you handle what matters.

From ancient times to the present, it has never changed,

Some say it's a human-favor society.

That's also correct; actually, it's still a relationship society.

Within these relationships there are feelings, interactions, morals, and laws.

It depends on one's comprehension how to handle one's relationships well.

If handled well, connections can be used for my benefit.

If handled poorly, connections can also have a negative effect.

This is my little insight.

So on our path of growth, we must definitely handle well our family ties, classmate ties, neighbor ties, and fellow-townsman ties.

Those people can be made close friends; those people are merely superficial acquaintances,

One must have a clear idea in mind.

This is emotional intelligence.

What is emotional intelligence? In social interactions, one must know how to speak, how to conduct oneself, and know how to suffer a loss.

Absolutely must not play petty tricks.

The workplace is like this, and life is also like this.

Currently we are still a relationship society; your social connections even determine your social status.

And also the stage for your personal presentation.

"Tian Shi, I understand."

"That's good; I've always wanted to ask Zhu Sheng, but I didn't dare to ask." I laughed.

"I knew you had doubts,"

The channel of communication with the superiors has been opened,

Someone listens to our words, and someone believes in our reactions,

This makes things easy,

Zhu Sheng is an upright person; he has always been strongly dissatisfied with these rich second-generation heirs, believing they plundered wealth in the past.

He has always been reflecting, you also know, because of this some people have been dealt with.

Fortunately, the dark clouds have dispersed and the sunshine has come.

The superiors also have this awareness; then for some people, we need to take decisive action.

Coincidentally, Zhu Sheng's best friend among his classmates has returned to duty.

Our matters are now easy to handle.

"Jianqiang, you can rest easy now." Tian Shi laughed.

"Tian Shi, I have always believed in you."

Moreover, there should be no doubt.

"You are forever my strongest support behind me." I said.

"Alright, Jianqiang, we still have many things to do."

Haha, I will be going to the provincial capital to study in a few days.

In Zaocheng, you must respond carefully." Tian Shi said concernedly.

After hanging up Tian Shi's phone,

I took out a cigarette and started smoking,

I believe everything Tian Shi said is true,

Zhu Sheng, these past days, was still thinking about how to retire and enjoy his old age; now he is more active than before.

That definitely has a reason.

For me, this is of great benefit.

Because the force behind us has increased again.

Not long after, Tian Shi received a notice to go to the provincial capital for study.

Actually, this is an indirect removal from office.

But no one was sent to replace Tian Shi's position,

Secretary Qin is currently overseeing work in Zaocheng.

Everything is being done as Liu Yong said.

We still need to gather news about Liu Yong,

When he heard that Zheng Ge used connections to remove Tian Shi from office, what was his reaction?

The reaction came quickly,

Kang Yali notified me,

He said that after Xu Feng contacted Liu Yong,

Liu Yong instructed Xu Feng to have me arrested.

Upon hearing it, I thought, 'This Liu Yong acts fast; as soon as Tian Shi leaves, he'll move against me right away.'

Alright, then go ahead and arrest me.

I told Kang Yali, 'Okay, tell Xu Feng,'

that I agree to his plan.

First, arrest me.

Upon hearing me say that, Kang Yali worriedly said, 'Brother Jianqiang, what if Xu Feng really defects? Remember, Tian Shi has already left Zaocheng.'

'Ya Li, we currently have no other way to proceed.'

'I have already finished talking with Xu Feng,'

'if he defects, he defects,'

'we can't do anything about it.'

'You tell Xu Feng.'

'Have him send people to arrest me, right here at the Zaocheng Grand Hotel.'

Kang Yali said, 'Okay, Brother Jianqiang, I'll tell Xu Feng right away to have people arrest you.'

'But Xu Feng's intention,'

'to make it look convincing,'

'he might not show you any mercy.'

'It must be this way; tell Xu Feng everything has to be done for real.' I said readily.

After I hung up the phone,

I thought,

only after Xu Feng arrests me,

will I present my achievement to Liu Yong, let Liu Yong come over, and I believe Liu Yong will surely come.

Xu Feng quickly sent people over, who arrested me and took me to the Da Heng Group, locking me in a room in a basement.

In this room, there were dedicated guards watching.

Already inside were several people,

When I entered and looked,

there were Sun Dajun, Zhao Xiaohua, Xiao Feng, and others.

Seeing me being brought in, they were all stunned.

Sun Dajun shouted, 'Dad, how did you get in here? What on earth is going on?'

I smiled and said to Sun Dajun, 'Dajun, we're finished again. I never expected to see you again.'

Sun Dajun's expression immediately froze.

There were four people guarding the room, one watching each of us, not allowing us to move around. It was not like a prison.

Zhao Xiaohua looked at me, her face showing an indescribable smile.

Only Xiao Feng looked at me,

tears streaming down,

'Chairman Zhao, this matter has nothing to do with you. I told Xu Feng all about it, yet they still arrested you.'

'Xiao Feng, you're just talking nonsense. It wasn't at Zhao Jianqiang's behest,'

'we could have ended up like this.'

'Xiao Feng, I never imagined you would betray me.' Zhao Xiaohua pointed at Xiao Feng and said.

'Zhao Xiaohua, I've had enough of you. If it weren't for your instigation,'

'could I be where I am today? Back then, you lured me into transferring the company's money out.'

'You had me help you hollow out the Group Company.'

'We deserve to be here.'

'Hmph, how glorious we once were at the Da Heng Group.'

'We fought among ourselves, hurting each other, and in the end someone else profited.'

'Zhao Xiaohua, what did you gain,'

'Sun Dajun, what about you?'

'Look at me,'

'my marriage is also over,'

'I'm living like a dog.'

'What's the point?'

'Back when we worked for the former Chairman Zhao,'

'Chairman Zhao, I'm sorry for that matter toward you.' Xiao Feng said without yielding, speaking to Zhao Xiaohua.

Zhao Xiaohua snorted coldly,

'Xiao Feng, you act as if you're so noble.'

'I have selfish motives; don't you have any?'

'Why does the Da Heng Group end up like this—is it all my fault?'

The rise and fall of a company mainly depends on its manager.

It's him—Zhao Jianqiang failed to manage well.

All responsibility lies with him.

We all worked with him.

Zhao Xiaohua finished speaking and pointed at me.

I ignored Zhao Xiaohua's accusation.

I took out a cigarette,

I naturally took out one, lit it, and started smoking.

At this moment, Sun Dajun, in his seat, grew anxious.

"Zhao Xiaohua, even today you still blame my father."

"What fault does my father have? He treated you too well, trusted you too much."

"I, Sun Dajun, have already made such a mistake,"

"I cannot make a second mistake; all past events of the Da Heng Group were caused by you alone."

"Dad, everything I say is true."

"I believe you, I will always believe you."

"Now you tell us what to do."

"Dad, we can't let them get a hold of us."

"And Kang Yali—you didn't keep your appointment with her."

"Dad, speak up," Sun Dajun said to me from his chair.
