Chapter 3350: The Loneliness After Standing at the Heights! The Hardest to Bear!

~7 min read 1,297 words

But once this choice was made, he believed Mr. Wang no longer needed to cling to such an attitude and keep hesitating.

All the realities were laid out before him at that moment—Mr. Wang had to compromise. Even if Zhang Lin really opened his mouth outrageously through this phone call, Mr. Wang at this point had to acknowledge it. In short, as long as Zhang Lin gave him a chance, everything could be discussed.

If Zhang Lin completely wiped out such a chance, then the Wang family would truly have no road left to walk. This confidant believed that after Mr. Wang's earlier agonizing, he had already seen this matter very clearly.

In other words, he must know what he ought to do; he was just missing that final push right now. And what this confidant could do was help the other man supply that final push, so Mr. Wang wouldn't keep doing foolish things.

Having thought this through, he felt no momentary gloom, and Mr. Wang also nodded subconsciously. In fact, Zhang Lin's side had already begun to frown slightly.

He hadn't expected that picking up this call would be such a hassle for the other party. In Zhang Lin's view, Mr. Wang would absolutely not hesitate at all the moment he received his call—he would just pick up.

He never imagined all this would differ from what he'd thought before. But this time Zhang Lin still held on to his patience, while secretly wondering in his heart whether Mr. Wang had other thoughts, or thought that his taking the initiative to make this call was a sign of weakness.

And through this point he could also apply pressure on himself in reverse—to put it plainly, Mr. Wang instead thought he was fishing, and now it had become a situation where he had no choice.

If that were the case, Zhang Lin Society would directly give up this cooperation, because Mr. Wang's thinking was simply too laughable, and Zhang Lin would not cooperate with such a stupid person either.

This has always been Zhang Lin's bottom line, and it has never changed for any reason. Since that is so, Mr. Wang absolutely cannot become an exception. Perhaps someday there will be someone who breaks the rule, but at least for now that person can still walk forward with a clear head—let's set that aside for now.

At this point Zhang Lin Has Already gradually lost patience, and only when the call was about to hang up automatically did Mr. Wang pick up. By this time Zhang Lin was already somewhat displeased.

But he didn't show it too obviously, just asked slowly: "Mr. Wang, you're really busy, taking so long to answer my call."

Mr. Wang heard the other say this, managed a smile and said: "Mr. Zhang, please don't scold me. My earlier thinking must have aroused your suspicion, or made you feel my way was very disrespectful to you. Here I must apologize to you."

Zhang Lin shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that the other party indeed thought this way. Actually, from Zhang Lin's personal perspective he hadn't minded this matter at all—when the call suddenly hung up earlier, he also didn't think it was a big deal.

Because as long as Mr. Wang had a brain, he wouldn't think Zhang Lin was the one who hung up the call. After all, that simply didn't fit logic. First, Mr. Wang himself should be very clearly aware that he hadn't made any particularly excessive demands—that was his capital for continuing to negotiate conditions with Zhang Lin.

If that capital disappeared, then there'd be no need to talk about all that messy stuff. Zhang Lin would no longer give him a chance—that was the core of everything.

When these core points were magnified infinitely, even a fool could see the situation within. Let alone Mr. Wang—Zhang Lin's earlier guess was right: there was a clear-eyed person beside Mr. Wang, the one he regarded as his confidant, and whom he also regarded as a worthy successor.

Without this person's reminder, Mr. Wang might have done many foolish things, such as wanting just now to purge the Wang family's interior and make a burn-the-boats move.

If Zhang Lin's call really had been hung up by him on purpose, then Mr. Wang making that decision would be no problem at all. But reality, as luck would have it, wasn't like that. If not for this person's obstruction, Mr. Wang might have just gone ahead and done it.

When the time came, not to mention others, Mr. Wang himself would absolutely regret it to no end—this was indisputable. Because all the effort he had put in was only to be able to mediate from the middle, and at the same time give the Wang family more choices.

And when at this moment the choice really came crashing down on their heads, these people, on the contrary, found themselves unable to deal with it—to put it plainly, they hadn't made preparations to match the choice. Since that was so, then they didn't deserve to have such a chance.

Fortunately, besides Wang Wang Canghai, the Wang family had a few people who had accumulated virtue, and a few smart people who could see the details within. Using such details, they did many things—at the very least they let Mr. Wang understand, after the fact, how he ought to choose. Actually, Mr. Wang had always believed he was at a dead end.

Just now, he suddenly found a road he could walk forward on, and was stopped again. If Mr. Wang had even the slightest lack of reason, he might have directly killed this person.

In the end Mr. Wang controlled himself—at least instinctively he left a certain place for this person.

And in his heart he forcefully told himself things couldn't be done that way. The other party was loyal to him, and at the same time also held corresponding loyalty toward the Wang family. Since such loyalty existed, he could rest easy and swallow everything down—that was what was in Mr. Wang's heart.

And the one who made the suggestion still didn't know, to this day, that he had in effect saved his own life. If Mr. Wang were as cruel as Wang Wang Canghai—

Actually, whether what he said was right or wrong, like what he himself had thought before, he had seen Mr. Wang at the most down-and-out moment of his life. A person who has long stood in a high place least wishes this kind of down-and-out to be conveyed to everyone.

And, as luck would have it, he had witnessed everything with his own eyes. Just because of this point alone it was enough to leave him without a burial place. At least now Mr. Wang hadn't done that, so he ought to count himself lucky. At this moment, after hearing Mr. Wang's words, Zhang Lin gave a light laugh. How the other party fobbed him off didn't matter to him.

Right now Zhang Lin needed to handle his own business—that is to say, Mr. Wang now needed to obey his commands one hundred percent, not think about all that messy stuff.

But Zhang Lin wasn't in a hurry to give orders. First he had to compare the matters from before. If the things they had agreed on before were just left unresolved like this, then this call would be no different from not having been made.

Zhang Lin wasn't that kind of stupid person. He knew when to talk about what, and at this point in time, what kind of method to use to persuade the other party. First was to bring the topic back to the moment the call was hung up earlier.
