Chapter 68

Li Cucumber was in a bad mood; this had nothing to do with anyone else, dead or not, whose son?

Li Xin had just returned to Xi Gong when he saw Jiang Tian Sheng at the intersection, standing in front of that merit stele, carefully wiping it with a rag, as if that cold, icy stone were more pleasant to touch than his wife Fang Ting.

Can't get enough of touching it!

This isn't the first time; ever since that day's project completion ribbon‑cutting ceremony, he comes over whenever he has nothing else to do.

Sometimes even when he's at home, he still mooches a meal.

They're making him the dragon head! He's got no proper form.

Li Xin got out of the car and went up to Jiang Tian Sheng: 'Mr. Jiang, you're wiping your name again?'

He didn't even turn his head: 'How could I wipe yours? The point is your name is below; to wipe it for me I have to bend over, and my old back can't take it!'

All right, I'll just leave the introduction of the first row's names and deeds for you; anyway, my name can also get a splash of water.

Li Xin joked.

Today he didn't go home for a meal, but went to the Red Letter Restaurant.

Just after entering, he asked Jiang Tian Sheng: 'Mr. Jiang, what should we eat today?'

Jiang Tian Sheng thought and said: 'These past two days my skin feels a bit dry; get me a wolfberry pork trotter soup.'

Li Xin directly told the barmaid, Chen Chao's wife Li Hui Juan: 'Sister Juan, add a pork trotter soup today, extra wolfberry. The rest stay the same as the usual four dishes.'

Jiang Guo, being sensible, sat in the first-floor lobby, not following them.

After the two sat down, Jiang Tian Sheng said: 'At tomorrow's meeting...'

Li Xin didn't wait for him to finish, directly gave the answer: 'Mr. Jiang, I happen to have something to tell you: Big Brother B asked me to intercede for Chen Haonan, I agreed, and since you're here today, I'll tell you.'

At that meeting, Jiang Tian Sheng said he came to compensate the society's loss; Li Xin already knew what he meant, there was no need to make him speak about this small matter—losing face!

Besides, Big Brother B is handling things for him!

Do we still talk about human feelings and worldly ways? Do we still talk about some society affection?

Li Xin also has a human touch; he definitely should speak, not to mention he also got benefits.

Jiang Tian Sheng smiled and said to him: 'A Xin, to be honest, sometimes I feel you understand me even more than A Yao.'

You never do things that put me in a difficult spot; even when you use my connections, you always find a way to return the favor—why is that?

When it comes to flattery, Li Xin modestly thinks he still has a little talent.

This flattery! It can't be forced.

It's easy to get rejected!

When flattering, it's best to be eight parts truthful, leaving two parts for praise.

Also don't just keep praising; people are sharp, they can tell; if the flattery carries some genuine feeling, wouldn't it be much better?

Li Xin excels at this: 'Mr. Jiang, to be honest, it's not that I understand you, but that everything comes from the heart, and only then can things be done that way.'

I know my own capability very well.

Without you supporting me and being my backing over a year ago, I couldn't have secured the position; in Prosperity there are people with greater contributions, seniority, and fighting ability... forget it! What kind of person isn't there?

Why did I get the position?

Isn't it because you, Mr. Jiang, supported me?

Recently you even gave me the position of speaker; what a huge favor!

Remember that!

It's not that I, A Xin, am being sentimental; it's just that I, like A Kun, don't believe in loyalty and righteousness, only remember gratitude and grudges.

Repay gratitude, avenge grudges.

I owe you too much, I fear I can't repay; only mutual support can let us go further.

You say, isn't that right?

Jiang Tian Sheng pressed his cigar into the ashtray.

'What you said is right: repay gratitude, avenge grudges.'

I, Jiang Tian Sheng, am not heartless; whenever possible, I will leave someone a way out.

But don't block my way; no one can, when I get ruthless even I myself am afraid.

I won't show mercy to anyone, not even my own younger brother!

Our direction is the same; we both want to go further, so I'm telling you this.

Also, your underworld registry has been crossed out by me, the appointment letter for the position has been burned, and you have no loopholes at the police station.

This matter, only I and Uncle Bo know; that old slippery fellow said: 'It's his fault for not keeping it safe, he messed up your page of names, and doesn't know where he put the appointment letter; if anyone investigates this, he'll take full responsibility.'

That old slippery fellow truly has nothing to say about you!

I'm making the cut; I'll first take you out.

From now on, no matter who becomes the dragon head, they won't dare mention this to you; they lack the guts.

This way you remain the Second Route Marshal of Prosperity, can still use the society's power, and won't have troubles; it's considered completely cleared!

Damn!

Li Xin had only that one word in his mind: Jiang Tian Sheng is really confident!

Erased his only leverage.

Awesome!

This is doing a favor! It's a big favor.

No matter how Li Xin develops in the future, his favors, the society's favors, must be repaid.

But he still gladly accepted it, Jiang Tian Sheng's goodwill; this is also a kind of interest exchange, then let's exchange it.

Although he doesn't need this favor, if he wants to clear his name, it's a matter of moments; the stuff from Old Huang's place is the winning trump card.

A favor? Isn't it just something owed and then repaid?

"Mr. Jiang, rest assured, I, A Xin, am still capable of this responsibility; in the future, if Prosperity encounters difficulties, I will not stand by idly.

Since we've enjoyed the conveniences brought by the society, we ought to give something back; I have no problem with that."

Li Xin spoke very earnestly.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he still admired Jiang Tian Sheng in his heart; a person's mettle is not a quality one can simply gain by sitting in a high position.

Those who can sit in a high position may have high emotional and intellectual intelligence, but each person's experiences determine what traits they possess.

They differ greatly!

Li Xin also has it, maybe a bit shabby, but it's also a trait, isn't it!

"Unreasonable!"

His reasoning is always meant for others to hear, but he himself has never listened to others' reasoning.

One could say, this guy is very "double-standard"!

Gangdao's martial world renowned brand.

Everyone is cursing.

After eating and drinking to his fill, Jiang Tian Sheng was very satisfied with the pork knuckles in the pork knuckle soup; before leaving, he also had Li Xin add some goji berries, saying they taste good.

All the things they prepared for Li Xin, they looked at him sideways.

They go so far as to say you should find a big milk cow, drink milk every day—it doesn't nourish the body, but instead drains it!

Is this worthwhile or not?

Jiang Tian Sheng walked off with a bag of goji berries, his back straightened considerably; it seems effective.

He also hurriedly asked Sister Juan to prepare some for him; though not needed now, he wants to stock up anyway!

How many beauties are there in Gangdao?

Quite a few!

Don't wait until then, when willingness but lack of ability becomes troublesome; hurry up and maintain yourself early—this is a lifelong matter.

To be frank, Li Xin is still relatively restrained; given his current wealth, he doesn't need to chase women—women come to him on their own.

Not to mention he also has a film company; those aspiring beauties surely would want to audition for him.

One could say, in matters of lust, Li Xin's character is decent.

Surpassing many predecessors!

There are so many, they're almost forming an enhanced row!

Can you manage to come over?
