Chapter 134

Look at these leaders, how many of them are already glaring at him with anger!

Crown Prince and Boxing King Tai look at him like he's a dead man; these two are Li Xin's blood brothers.

Konglong and Huigou glare at him as if they want to eat him; these two are Li Xin's die-hard fans.

Big D need not be said, his gaze already proves everything; he regards Li Xin as a half-brother.

Jingkun looks at him like he's an idiot; can this be said? If it weren't for their usual good relationship, he really wouldn't want to smooth things over for him!

Even the good-old Ji Ge is glaring at him with his eyes; A Xin is my buddy from Momo Chang, I must stand up for him! Can't I even speak up for you?

Han Bin and Xiyan curl their lips in a cold sneer; daring to oppose A Xin means not giving us three face, and without A Xin saying a word, you're done!

Huashe didn't even look at him; with Tianhong around, he basically has nothing to do with it, no need to bother.

Tianhong blows the hair in front of his eyes, glances sideways at Ma Wangjian, the meaning goes without saying.

Ma Wangjian has been looked down upon by these people; now does Prosperity not even let him speak?

They have a hundred doubts in their heart?

Dafei and the others are even worse; they couldn't care less, leaving it hanging high, not a single person speaking up for him.

Boshu then spoke up: "Ma Wangjian, from now on think before you speak, consider it well before speaking. Don't just blurt out like an idiot."

You see, as long as there is interest, it can make people forget many things, there is a fluke mentality.

At this moment, Li Xin cannot speak; this venue belongs to Jiang Tian Sheng, just keep quiet!

As expected, Jiang Tian Sheng stepped in to smooth things over: "Let this matter pass; we are all brothers of the same society, no need to quarrel too much."

Over the past two years, the society's development has become ever more prosperous, inseparable from everyone's efforts; here, I extend my sincere thanks to all.

Flattery flooded the venue, everyone saying that these achievements were achieved only under Mr. Jiang's leadership, and their contributions were negligible.

After the main meeting ended, the small meeting continued, but this time there were fewer people.

In Jiang Tian Sheng's villa, only Jiang Tian Sheng, Jingkun, and Li Xin are present; this small gang holds a little meeting whenever they have nothing to do, to study development strategies.

Look how many groups A Xin has now!

In Han Bin's three-brother group, he is there; in the Crown Prince's three-brother group, he is one of the members.

In Ji Ge and Boshu's Momo Chang group, he is also an internal member.

He also has his own small group, with Tianhong and Huashe; in this group, he is the group leader.

The two-person small group also has Big D; he is still in this group, and his words carry weight.

Behind him also sits a die-hard little follower, Huigou; unnoticed, Prosperity has somewhat changed!

This guy is just a... group hopper! He's in every group!

Before, it was fine—just freeloading off others' fame; now it's developed into all kinds of freeloading.

Freeloader Xin, what are you up to?

Li Xin's task is simple: first use interests as links, mix in righteousness, and unite all who can be united around him.

In some situations, interests may be seen as the key factor determining righteousness. When interests are great enough, most people may choose to pursue personal gain, sacrificing righteousness.

He is well aware of this, so whenever he makes friends, Li Xin is very cautious, that hint of vigilance in his heart never lowered.

Righteousness does not exclude interests; rather, it is part of interests. Talking about righteousness does not mean giving up the pursuit of reasonable interests, but emphasizes that while pursuing interests, one does not harm others' feelings and dignity.

We need to find a balance point; for example, the Crown Prince will not accept anyone's gratuitous gifts, and neither will Li Xin.

When Li Xin handles the relationship between righteousness and interests, his mindset is calm, pursuing interests while maintaining his relationship with the Crown Prince and Boxing King Tai.

Some believe righteousness is priceless and unrelated to interests. Righteousness can be contained within interests, and mutual help among friends is also a form of interest.

People need feelings; righteousness and interests can complement each other. While pursuing interests, maintain a sense of distance from others, don't point fingers.

Interests and feelings are the two basic aspects of friendship; they are interconnected yet distinct.

Purely interest-based relationships, purely emotional relationships, are uncommon; most friendships between people involve both interests and feelings.

Without righteousness involved, an interest-based relationship is like a sandcastle on the beach; when the wave comes, such an interest-based relationship will vanish completely.

Between Li Xin and these people, there has never been too frequent contact; righteousness was built unknowingly, which is why so many people support him today.

All done with a slow simmer, turning his righteousness with these people into a delicious soup.

The three of them then sat by the poolside to chat casually; each time they chatted like this, the atmosphere was very pleasant.

After the casual chat ended, Jiang Tian Sheng smiled and said to Li Xin: "A Xin, don't take to heart what Ma Wangjian said today; he definitely wouldn't dare target you, perhaps he has some slight objections to my handling."

Li Xin picked up his wine glass, took a sip of red wine, held the glass in his hand and swirled it; the red liquid clung to the glass wall, shimmering colorfully in the sunlight.

After the wine settled, he then smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, look, in the same cup of wine, how could it split into two colors? No matter how great the fluctuations, they will eventually return to calm; in the end, the wine is still that same cup."

"Ma Wangjian today was merely blinded by the external force of interests; he hasn't touched my bottom line, I won't quarrel with him, rest assured."

Jingkun clapped from the side, his voice somewhat hoarse, saying: "A Xin, I thought you were going to give Ma Wangjian a lesson!"

"I never expected you could, for the society's internal peace, so easily let this go; I thank Ma Wangjian on your behalf!"

Jingkun misunderstood!

It's not that Li Xin is magnanimous; rather, this small matter isn't worth him taking action, so he might as well let it go—no need to quarrel, it's thankless effort.

Since Kun Ge has already given him a ladder, if he doesn't climb up, then he isn't Li Xin!

"Brother Kun, Prosperity is not only Mr. Jiang's Prosperity, everyone relies on it to make a living, so we have the obligation to safeguard its interests."

"Without Prosperity's umbrella, my business would have been swallowed long ago! Among us, there is no exception; having taken benefits, we must go protect it, otherwise we'll all be out of luck."

"Jiang Tian Sheng's face was full of smiles as he said: 'A Xin is right, Prosperity is good; only then do we all have something to gain. If Prosperity falls, none of us will fare well, including me!'"

The matter passed in the casual chat among a few people, and no one will bring it up again.

"Just from the implications in Handsome Kun's words, one can tell he has a good relationship with Ma Wang Jian; such a favor flowing with the current, we must not give it for nothing!"

At this point, Handsome Kun brought up the main purpose of this gathering.

"A Xin, are you planning to build a Film City in Xi Gong?"

"Yes, I have this idea; in Xi Gong I have a large tract of land, this way I can save a lot of funds and also drive Xi Gong's development."

One action yields many gains; why not do it?
