Chapter 902: 898. Adjusting the Mindset (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Originally, they had thought that even if Zhang Ran wanted to do something, it would likely be difficult to accomplish in less than a few months.
But how much time has passed now?
Two days?
The situation has undergone such a reversal that the Luode Xiongmei are completely unsettled.
"I can understand you, but I hope to meet with you," Jiasen said, taking a deep breath.
"That is no problem. Most people have returned now, so I will make arrangements when the time comes. As for the final result, it will also depend on your efforts," Aosituo said.
Hanging up the phone, Jiasen suddenly slammed his seat.
"Deceiving people too much!" Jiasen said angrily.
Although Qiaosilin's expression was also unpleasant, she was not as angry; instead, she looked at him calmly and said, "Why are you so angry?"
"Look at what Zhang Ran has done! He is forcing us onto a dead end," Jiasen said indignantly.
Qiaosilin said, "Did you only just realize this?"
"Enough, stop talking this nonsense. Don't you know what he is actually planning?
Ever since we made our choice, there has been an irreconcilable grudge between us, not to mention that people died at the time, and they were people close to Zhang Ran.
Although it could be said that they brought it upon themselves, do you think Zhang Ran really wouldn't care?" Qiaosilin's tone grew impatient.
Jiasen took a deep breath. He naturally knew this, but as things stepped by step slipped out of their control and began to change, he felt an indescribable sense of stifling frustration in his heart.
This was also the immense pressure Zhang Ran brought upon him; this pressure had always existed before, but now it was becoming increasingly clear.
Moreover, for so many years, they couldn't say that everything they did went smoothly, but at the very least, regarding choices on major trends, they had basically never been wrong because of Zhang Ran.
It could be considered smooth sailing up until now.
This actually made Jiasen feel somewhat self-satisfied.
After all, he was qualified to be proud of developing a family that was nearly facing bankruptcy to this point step by step.
But this pride was slowly shattered bit by bit by Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran clearly told him that while Jiasen had some ability, the vast majority of his achievements still relied on him, Zhang Ran.
Compared to Zhang Ran, Jiasen was nothing!
The more this was the case, the more stifled Jiasen felt.
He wanted to refute it, he wanted to prove himself, but at the same time, he had always felt like he was being led by the nose in front of Zhang Ran.
"Your mindset is wrong." Qiaosilin was actually not in a very good mood either, but seeing Jiasen like this, she still patiently said.
No matter what, Jiasen was still the head of their Rhode Family, and many things still required Jiasen to give orders.
No matter what, Jiasen himself could not fall into chaos.
Qiaosilin said, "Do you know why we were able to succeed back then? A person as smart as Zhang Ran was still used by us."
Jiasen said gloomily, "It's because he is too emotional."
"That is part of the reason, but being emotional doesn't mean being stupid. Do you think Zhang Ran is stupid?" Qiaosilin continued to ask.
"Heh, if he were stupid, then what are we?" Jiasen laughed at himself.
Just as he said, if Zhang Ran were a fool, then what were they, the people who had been toyed with by Zhang Ran?
"Then do you understand why we were able to win before?" Qiaosilin asked again.
Jiasen said somewhat impatiently, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Qiaosilin's tone remained calm, "Your heart is in chaos."
Jiasen looked at Qiaosilin's calm eyes, and finally took a few deep breaths, suppressing the irritability in his heart.
He had to admit that when facing Zhang Ran, he had always felt an indescribable pressure in his heart.
Conversely, regarding this matter, Qiaosilin, who should have had even greater psychological pressure, did not; in this regard, he was far inferior to Qiaosilin.
Seeing Jiasen calm down, Qiaosilin continued, "Do you understand now?"
Jiasen began to ponder. He understood Qiaosilin's meaning a little now, but was still a bit confused.
Watching him like this, Qiaosilin sighed in her heart. Her brother was very good in normal times and could fully serve as the helmsman of their family.
He was also an elite of the world.
But once he faced Zhang Ran, his psychological balance would be lost.
"It's very simple. Before, we had nothing left, our feet were standing on the edge of an abyss, and we weren't afraid of losing anything.
To use a Huaxia saying, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, so we succeeded," Qiaosilin said seriously.
Jiasen fell silent.
"Now we are wearing shoes, but at the same time, we have lost the spirit of burning our bridges that we had before. On this point, we need to correct ourselves.
When facing Zhang Ran, we must maintain our previous mindset. If we continue like this, then in terms of mindset, we will always be at a disadvantage," Qiaosilin said.
Actually, she had wanted to say these words to Jiasen for a long time, but those times were not the right time.
Now that the time had come, she had to make these words clear to Jiasen.
Jiasen also fell into deep thought. He understood that Qiaosilin's words were correct.
It was precisely because they had that mindset before that they succeeded; they dared to fight, but now that they had succeeded, they had become timid instead.
"I understand, I know what to do," Jiasen said after a long while, taking a deep breath.
His mindset had begun to gradually change. In fact, it still had to do with Zhang Ran.
Deep in his heart, he had actually always been comparing himself to Zhang Ran. Whether he admitted it or not, Jiasen still admired Zhang Ran somewhat.
But the more this was the case, the more he wanted to compare himself to Zhang Ran.
With each of Zhang Ran's moves, he failed time and time again, and his mindset naturally changed. He began to develop self-doubt.
At such a time, this kind of mindset was fatal, so Qiaosilin had awakened him at this moment.
"That is for the best. Now, when facing Zhang Ran, we must once again maintain our previous mindset." Qiaosilin said this again, which showed what her own mindset was like.
Realizing his own situation, Jiasen was not in a hurry to meet the people from the Swiss Bank; instead, he first had Qiaosilin go to meet them on his behalf, while he himself remained in the hotel room and began to reflect on himself.
Now Qiaosilin only needed to stall these people, which was actually quite simple; she only needed to stall them for a little over a day, and then the result of the matter would emerge.
It was just that wanting to stall them was not that easy either, and Jiasen also needed to make full preparations on his end, though the most important thing right now was still the issue of adjusting his mindset.
