Chapter 3345

Cui Wenbin's words made both Tian Xiaopeng and Tian Xiaotao nod. Regarding Su Xinghui, they both hated him to the bone and wished they could eliminate him to satisfy their hatred. However, they truly lacked the strength to do so now, and they could only follow Cui Wenbin's plan to realize this wish step by step.

Recalling the time when Su Xinghui was still a small township cadre, the Tian family was at the height of its power. Back then, when had Tian Xiaotao ever taken Su Xinghui seriously? At that time, he felt it was only natural—a form of charity—to make Su Xinghui leave Lu Xiaoya.

But now, the balance of power between the two sides had undergone such a massive shift. The Tian family had almost fallen into decline, while Su Xinghui had leaped to become a rising political star. The forces behind him were unimaginably powerful. This truly was a case of "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

It was precisely this contrast that made the brothers Tian Xiaopeng and Tian Xiaotao hate Su Xinghui so deeply. If they had been crushed by some third-generation scion of a revolutionary family, they wouldn't have felt so miserable.

Of course, the grudge Tian Xiaopeng had forged with Su Xinghui was indeed a mortal one. The position of County Party Secretary he had been about to grasp had flown away because of Su Xinghui, and his family had essentially become a shell of its former self because of Su Xinghui. What made it even more unacceptable for Tian Xiaopeng was that his male functionality had also vanished during that incident.

If this can be endured, what cannot?

Therefore, Tian Xiaopeng was locked in a struggle with Su Xinghui for the rest of his life; the relationship between the two was one of life and death.

As for Tian Xiaotao, in a sense, his life had also been ruined by Su Xinghui, so he, too, hated Su Xinghui with a burning passion.

Tian Xiaopeng said, "Wenbin, thank you! If you hadn't come to help me, I don't know what I would be like right now."

Cui Wenbin had indeed helped the Tian brothers a great deal. As a genius in business management, he had helped the brothers earn an unknown amount of money. It was precisely because of this money that Tian Xiaopeng was able to make a comeback; without money, his desire to find those people to help him would have been nothing but wishful thinking.

Moreover, Cui Wenbin had offered them many ideas, allowing Tian Xiaopeng to avoid many pitfalls; otherwise, Tian Xiaopeng could never have reached his current position.

Cui Wenbin smiled indifferently and said, "Xiaopeng, there's no need for us to say so much between us. By the way, the company suffered significant losses this time. To give those shareholders an explanation, I won't take my salary this year."

Tian Xiaopeng was stunned and said, "How can that be? The losses this time have nothing to do with you. On the contrary, you've helped us too much; how could we possibly deduct your salary?"

Tian Xiaotao also said, "That's right, Brother Bin, you must take your salary."

Cui Wenbin smiled and said, "Xiaopeng, Xiaotao, listen to me. No matter what, it is a fact that the company suffered losses of tens of millions this time. Those shareholders of the company have no grudge against Su Xinghui, and they won't accept my explanation. This matter was also my decision, so I can only use my decision-making error as a reason. If I don't take my salary, it should be enough to appease their anger."

Tian Xiaopeng fell silent. After Tian Xiaotao established the Daye Real Estate Development Company, in order to let the company develop better, they brought in some shareholders—all powerful second-generation officials. They did indeed provide Daye Company with many conveniences, but Daye Company also had to distribute a portion of its annual profits to them, and a considerable one at that.

Of course, even so, when calculating the economic accounts, Daye Company was still profitable, not to mention the benefits gained politically, so Tian Xiaopeng valued these shareholders highly.

This time in Baozhou, Daye Real Estate Development Company had also suffered huge losses, and those shareholders were very angry. To appease their anger, only Cui Wenbin could take the blame.

After a long time, Tian Xiaopeng said, "Wenbin, I've wronged you. We will make up for your losses."

Tian Xiaotao said, "That's right, Brother Bin, I will make up for your losses from my own account when the time comes."

Cui Wenbin smiled and said, "It's nothing. Xiaopeng, Xiaotao, in these past few years, the remuneration I've received from the company has already been generous enough. Besides, without a salary, I still have share dividends, so my life won't be difficult. You don't need to make up for my salary."

Although Tian Xiaopeng and Tian Xiaotao tried to persuade him repeatedly, Cui Wenbin refused to accept, and they had no choice but to let it go.
