I thought some things should not be concealed too deliberately. So I just smiled, without denying it.
“What are you laughing at, are you very proud?” Xiaodong Su said angrily, “Don’t be proud, there will be bad times for you!”
I held my smile, “President Su, Why you get angry at me? I’m just a little role. The battle among you high-level leaders has nothing to do with me. It’s useless to get angry with me.”
“Isn’t it you stirring up trouble behind the scenes? Otherwise, Aunt Jiang and I we stay on our own sides all along, and why recently she is directed against me frequently?”
“President Su, there is a saying that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. If there is no conflict of interests between you and Aunt Jiang, you will naturally be able to live in peace with each other. But President Su, you want to rise strongly in the group, which will naturally affect Aunt Jiang. This is the fundamental reason why she wants to attack you.”
“Then why Wenbei Su was in harmony with Aunt Jiang? I develop myself, I’ll affect Aunt Jiang’s interests. While Wenbei becomes bigger, can’t he affect Aunt Jiang’s interests?” Xiaodong shouted.
I shushed, and signaled that there were ears in the corner of the wall, letting him keep it down.
“Because all the power and resources he has obtained are under the precondition of Aunt Jiang’s tacit consent. And President Su you is different, you are robbing yourself, so you destroy the balance of the existing pattern. This is the fundamental reason why Aunt Jiang is aiming at you.”
“No matter how eloquent you are, you can’t change the fact that you are fomenting!”
“It’s ridiculous that President Su doesn’t look at the overall situation and doesn’t reflect on what you did wrong, but blames all things on me a little role. If you don’t make a self-examination, then you will only fall more and more miserable.”
“I don’t need you to teach me how to do things, I have my own style. Who do you think you are and have the right to teach me?”
I sneered, “You mess with me, not I want to teach you! You can’t fight against Aunt Jiang, and snap at me, what is that all about? Your were defeated, shouldn’t you learn lessons and come back? You scold me, and then you can win back?”
Xiaodong pointed at me and said, “Great, but I tell you, don’t be complacent, I will definitely reverse the situation.”
“Of course I believe President Su has this ability. This is what President Su should say. I’m going to the meeting, please get out of my way.”
This time Xiaodong didn’t stop me. I quickly walked to the executive elevator, swiped it, and went directly to the meeting room.
This meeting was relatively easy. The people attending the meeting was almost Second Brother’s men. It purely was an working meeting and was very efficient, so it ended after forty minutes.
After the executives left, only Second Brother and I were left in the meeting room.
“You keep following up these arranged jobs. These are big projects, from which You can learn more. What’ more, you can establish the overall picture.” The Second Brother said to me.
I had always known that Second Brother was training me, and I was very grateful. But these jobs were too much and heavy for me to follow up, and I really can’t deal with them well.
The Second Brother seemed to see through my mind, “You can rest assured that you are not handle all the things alone. I’ll help you.”
“I know the second brother. I will work hard.” I said with a smile.
“Where did you go today? You look not good?”
I said that I investigated some things, and then emphasized that it was private.
When the Second Brother heard it was private, he didn’t continue to ask more.
“The Big Brother was pushed down by Aunt Jiang this time, and he must be angry. I guess he may fight back. Recently, you should be careful and confront him, don’t irritate him.” The Second Brother commanded again.
“I know, in any case, he is the Master of the Su family. I will not be against him, and I am not a match for him.”
The Second Brother stood up, “Sister, I don’t want you to succumb, but the king always could bear humiliation. Sometimes, forbearance is a kind of wisdom.”
I took it seriously and nodded. Sometimes forbearance is indeed a kind of wisdom.
That night, I enjoyed the meal with some friends of my Second Brother. Most of them were Yang City’s business celebrities, including bank presidents, investment company executives, and chairman of several large state-owned enterprises. The second brother suddenly let me meet these people, actually I didn’t really understand it, maybe it’s just let them see my face.
But the conversation was only halfway through, the Second Brother answered a phone and suddenly his face hugely changed.
The Second Brother was definitely the kind of person with composed and calm qualities in face of urgent things. His look showed that something big happened.
He toasted everyone a glass of alcohol and said that he was going to leave in a hurry, and let me continue accompanying them.
This was of course very impolite. He would not do it unless something really serious happened.
But the second brother’s friends also understood and said since there was something wrong, let me drive Second Brother. They can enjoy themselves and then let the Second Brother foot the bill.
After getting in the car, the Second Brother had been calling. He were talking in English, so it may be an international call. Seeing that the Second Brother was so nervous, I also felt anxious. But I had to wait until he finished the call.
The Second Brother finally finished the call, but he still frowned, and said nothing.
As He didn’t speak, I was worried that he was thinking, so I did not disturb him. After a while, the Second Brother sighed, “Dad is trapped abroad and cannot return temporarily.”
I was shocked when I heard it, “What does it mean to be trapped?”
The second brother looked awkward and hesitated.
“If it is inconvenient to say, it’s OK. After all, some things need to be kept secret. I can understand.”
“This matter really needs to be kept secret, but you are not an outsider, I can tell you the truth. You can’t tell anyone. Dad was accused of sexually assaulting the hotel waiter abroad, and was currently under police control, and Aunt Jiang just received the news. ”
I was taken aback, sexual assault? How was that possible? how can a person like Jiye Su do such a thing?
“This is definitely a misunderstanding. The chairman would not do such a thing. This is absolutely impossible! This must be someone who framed him!” I felt very excited.
“Of course I also believe in dad. But now that dad is in abroad, and it will be very inconvenient to save dad, and there will be many restrictions. The most important thing is that this information cannot be leaked out. If it is leaked, it will become the biggest scandal of the Su family in decades, Whether it is true or not.”
