Chapter 370 Smart people know how to advance and retreat
The Jiang family also left the Zhang family in the afternoon. Gu Ci and Ziyu, and Jiang Junlin got in a car. Gu Ziyu said, "Uncle, mother, I will go to the old man's house to celebrate the Lantern Festival in the evening, so I won't accompany you."
"Why?" Jiang Junlin asked. It was the first time that Ziyu had spent the Lantern Festival with them. Jiang Junlin missed New Year's Eve and didn't want to miss the Lantern Festival.
Gu Ziyu said, "The old man has no wife and no children. He is alone on New Year's Eve and also on Lantern Festival. I want to spend it with him. I have already agreed that he will cook mandarin fish for me."
“Go!”
Gu Ci never stops what Gu Ziyu wants to do, so today they are celebrating the Lantern Festival together. Jiang Junlin didn't object at all. He wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with Ziyu, but they were relatives connected by blood. If they didn't spend the Lantern Festival together, their relationship would not fade, and the future would be long.
Jiang Junlin said, "I will go home later and ask my great-grandma to prepare some New Year gifts and bring them over."
“Okay!” Gu Ziyu wanted to move all the good things over to Chen Liangdong.
"This time, thanks to his willingness to help, the outcome would have been unpredictable." Jiang Junlin tapped his finger on the steering wheel, "Tell Chen Liangdong that I owe him a favor."
“You promised to let Guo’an release a person into the extreme realm. This is a favor repaid.”
Chiang Junlin said, "This is a business matter, not a favor. That's an excuse."
Gu Ci understood, "Brother promised to let people in?"
"It's impossible not to let go!" Jiang Junlin said, "The Ji Dao Dark Network is a public tool after all. If I really speak out and don't let anyone go, it will confirm their suspicions and they will be even more afraid. But we can't let them do whatever they want. Release him, Mr. Zhang will handle these matters. In front of them, I am willing to give Guoan a quota. Firstly, Mr. Zhang and Chen Liangdong are good friends. One person counts as two favors. Secondly, Chen Liangdong will do his best to help Zhang. Lao, I don’t need to do anything to deal with those people, just wait for the outcome. Mr. Zhang’s intervention is much better than mine.”
A smart person must know how to advance and retreat.
Having just experienced such a catastrophe, Jiang Junlin should not expose himself too much in front of others. Rejection and consent are both difficult problems. Now that this problem is thrown away and others have to worry about it, he will be much more relaxed.
Gu Ci, "What about Lu Zhiyuan? What conditions did he put forward?"
“He and Mr. Zhang did not reach an agreement and refused to cooperate.”
Gu Ci's heart skipped a beat, and her eyelids also jumped. Gu Ziyu looked at Gu Ci carefully, and Jiang Junlin also looked at her. Gu Ci closed her eyes and said softly, "Brother, did you tell me something?"
Jiang Junlin fell silent.
Gu Ci said, "When you were arrested this time, it was exposed that Lu Zhiyuan was the mastermind behind it, right?"
“Why do you think so?” Jiang Junlin asked calmly.
"He didn't agree to Mr. Zhang's conditions because he had his own connections and his status was not lower than Mr. Zhang's, so he was not tempted by the conditions proposed by Mr. Zhang." Gu Ci said softly, "He has long wanted to The focus of assets has moved eastward, so exposing you will weaken the influence of the Jidao Dark Network. With all the forces involved, he can also take away half of the market because he can't bypass you and the Jidao Dark Network, because of Ji Xun and me. , and I didn’t want to kill you, so I chose this path.”
Gu Ci's guess was absolutely correct. Jiang Junlin didn't tell Gu Ci because he felt sorry for Gu Ci's hard work during these days, and he read Gu Ci's mental report as soon as he got back and didn't want Gu Ci to do this again. Annoyed.
"This is not something he can accomplish alone." Jiang Junlin was pragmatic and did not add insult to injury in front of Gu Ci because he disliked Lu Zhiyuan. "The Jidao Dark Network will have such a catastrophe late. A few years earlier or a few years later. There is no difference, the result is better than I expected, it would be someone else if it wasn’t Lu Zhiyuan.”
Gu Ci looked out the window, and Gu Ziyu was a little worried. Jiang Junlin said, "The grudge between me and him will not be resolved because of you, Xiaoci, don't care about our affairs."
"I know!" Gu Ci chuckled and said, "Brother, don't explain. I understand, and I'm not sad either. It's just that I'm a little... hindsighted."
In fact, I have noticed it a long time ago, but I just didn’t think about it deeply.
“Brother, will you cooperate with him?”
"Not necessarily!" Jiang Junlin said with a chuckle, "If there is benefit, then we will cooperate. If there is no benefit, then there will be no discussion."
"I know!" Gu Ci said, "That's good. You have to face a lot of open and covert attacks in this position, so you don't have to surround yourself with landmines for me."
“I know it in my heart!”
Gu Ziyu held his chin in distress, "It's so difficult for me. My father, mother, and uncle are all dear to me. I'm a poor sandwich biscuit."
Jiang Junlin and Gu Ci were both amused by him.
“Ziyu, you’d better not worry about it. Your front teeth haven’t grown yet. If you continue to worry about it, you really won’t be able to grow taller.” Jiang Junlin once again doubted that Ziyu would grow taller.
Fortunately, Ziyu is not like Lu Zhiyuan, otherwise it would be very troublesome!
“Humph, Ji Xuan said the same thing. He cooked a pot of tea eggs for me to supplement protein, because he was afraid that I would grow into a dwarf.”
Hearing Ji Xuan's name unexpectedly, Jiang Junlin's heart suffocated and the smile on his face faded. He also came to Zhang's house with Lu Zhiyuan today. He was not Lu Zhiyuan's bodyguard, so why should he follow him closely.
When he was talking to Mr. Zhang in the study, the window actually faced the outside, and he could see Ji Xuan and Li Jiang talking. He was leaning on the car and smoking, without a smile on his face. Jiang Junlin was thinking, What is the little wolf cub thinking?
What are you talking about again?
I haven’t called him a single phone call these days. Is he disappointed?
But in the past few days, Jiang Junlin was very busy and rarely slept at night. He was too busy. There were not many things accumulated on the Jidao Dark Web. Gu Ci had dealt with most of them, leaving only some that required his intervention. After returning, he went to several banks and cooperated with several actions. The Jidao Dark Network was full of troubles, and he couldn't spare the time to take care of Ji Xun. He wished he could break it into forty-eight hours a day.
The Lantern Festival is barely empty.
But since Ji Huan came with Lu Zhiyuan, and Lu Zhiyuan left early, there must be another show, and he may not be available.
After Gu Ziyu returned home, Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang prepared New Year's gifts. Chen Fei came to pick him up and took him to Chen Liangdong's house. The trunk was full. The two elders watched him leave but were still reluctant to part.
During the Lantern Festival, except for necessary and urgent matters, other work was postponed. Grandpa Jiang took Jiang Junlin and Gu Ci to the river to fish. However, the old man was not energetic. After fishing for more than an hour, he felt tired and went home first.
Jiang Junlin watched his grandfather go away, his eyes darkened, his grandfather was old. He was the only child in the Jiang family. If he wanted everyone in the family to be healthy, he had to make a choice. He asked Gu Ci, "Xiao Ci, if you were asked to replace Pei Qiuying and become the master of the extreme, would you be willing?"
