C1900 Consulting Countermeasures 1
"Weiguo, look at you. Tang Hao doesn't know how to drink, but you forced him to drink like this. He didn't even eat much before he drank down. It hurts my stomach! Wenli, let me give you a hand to help him into the room to rest. Let their old friend continue drinking." Chiang Weiguo's wife seemed to know the reason why her husband drank so quickly. She stood up and helped the drunk Tang Hao out of the restaurant with Chiang Wenli.
Now, only Chiang Weiguo and Fann Binn were left at the dining table. Chiang Weiguo's face was full of red light. He had just drunk and was not drunk at all. On the other hand, Fann Binn was already in a slightly drunken state. It seemed that after drinking for so many years, his alcohol tolerance had improved a little.
"Fann, have some food. I want to have a good drink with you tonight. Let's drink and chat while we eat. What do you think?" Chiang Weiguo took a sip of the wine, picked up a mouthful of food and put it into his mouth. He looked at Fann Binn, who was sitting beside him, and sighed. "Life is unpredictable. If I was young, I wouldn't have imagined it. I, Chiang Weiguo, actually befriended a young friend like you? On the surface, you call me uncle, but I treat you like my nephew. But in reality, we are brothers on equal footing, friends! I, Chiang Weiguo, will never forget your help to me. "
" Uncle Chiang, that's a bit too much. What do you mean by my help to you? Don't tell me you don't help me? I will be magnanimous and say that since you acknowledge me as your friend... Then don't thank me, because friends are mutual... We're just helping each other. " Fann Binn had indeed drunk too much. His words were much bolder than when he was awake. At least now, facing Chiang Weiguo, he dared to treat this middle-aged man in front of him as a friend and brother for the first time.
"That's true, but I keep feeling that you have helped me too much. But I... can help you too little." Chiang Weiguo frowned helplessly and sighed deeply. " I thought I would do anything after I reached this position. At least I can control the overall situation, but now it seems like... I just realized that I am just a screw in a system, at most a large screw. Without me, the country's machine will still operate. The reformist will still operate normally..."
Fann Binn felt that something was wrong from the beginning. It turned out that Chiang Weiguo knew how much alcohol he could drink. Why did he drink so much just after dinner? And after Tang Hao got drunk... Chiang Wenli and his wife also disappeared without a trace, but they did not think too much about it after they got drunk. But at this time, Chiang Weiguo's words made him sober up a lot. He seemed to have thought of something in his heart. He frowned and said with an ugly expression. "Uncle Chiang, did something happen?"
Chiang Weiguo looked at Fann Binn. His face clearly twitched. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy expression, "Fann Binn, before you came, my father called me. He said that the old man in the army had gone mad and said that the young man did not know what was good for him. The king is the oldest, and he also said... that he was going to bite off this old bone of his. Back then, he was able to deal with so many enemies. Look at how moving he is now..."
Almost instantly, Fann Binn was so shocked by these words that he lost all the alcohol in his body. What Chiang Weiguo said made him think of too many things. On the surface, this short sentence only mentioned two people. One of them was Chiang Weiguo's father, Jiang Yousheng, the core figure of the reformist. The other was the so-called old man in the army that he mentioned. Who else could it be other than Qin Zhentian? Who else could the young man that Qin Zhentian was talking about besides him?
Speaking of which, Qin Zhentian was more senior than Jiang Yousheng and the other few big shots of the reformist. When he founded the country, he had a lot of military achievements. Almost half of the generals in the army were his soldiers. It was enough to show how much power he had.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if he really had selfish motives and wanted to start a military coup, there was a 60% chance that he could overthrow the current government! But an old revolution like him would not do such a thing. Usually, they would keep a low profile. Hiding the light was the creed of these old fellows.
But now, for the sake of Fann Binn, Qin Zhentian actually jumped out and wanted to teach him a lesson. Putting aside the fact that Fann Binn wasn't really unlucky, just this honor alone was unprecedented. He really didn't know whether to feel honored for him or sad for him.
Combined with Chiang Weiguo's words and his earnest words just now, Fann Binn had already understood. Under Qin Zhentian's tremendous pressure, the reformist obviously didn't want to offend him. Therefore, they naturally wouldn't give Fann Binn enough protection, even if Fann Binn had helped them a lot in the struggle for power. However, in the face of such a powerful figure in the army, the reformist still wanted to keep silent. What did silence mean? Of course, it meant that they didn't want to stand up for Fann Binn and let him destroy himself!
Although this was only Fann Binn's guess, he believed that the truth was about the same as his guess. Facing Chiang Weiguo's helpless expression, Fann Binn said with a gloomy face. "Uncle Chiang, it doesn't matter. Just say what you want to say. I can understand. After all, this is because I have offended someone, not your problem. "
" Fann, I really don't understand. You know that old man is really powerful to the point of being abnormal. Why did you provoke him? You should know, you should know how powerful he is. How influential is he in the military?"
Chiang Weiguo said, somewhat puzzled, "I really can't imagine a smart person like you. Why do you still want to do it when you know you can't do it? With your status and identity, you are almost invincible in this country. But the problem is, there is always a higher mountain, and there is always someone better than you! Why do you have to provoke those extremely rare old fellows?"
" Fann, I really want to tell you that a man knows when to yield and when to yield. With your age and ability, why aren't you willing to admit defeat once? Do you really have to make things so rigid? Do you know how powerful that old man is? Let's not talk about anything else, if the situation continues to deteriorate at this rate, wait until he cuts off all your connections, the best result would be... Maybe it will be when you have nothing left, but if it is the worst result... Maybe... you would really fall into hell! Fann, listen to my advice. It's not too late to admit defeat now! "
Fann Binn silently listened to Chiang Weiguo's words and drank the wine in his cup. The wine was strong, but at this moment, Fann Binn was drinking as if he was drinking water. Chiang Weiguo rarely used such a tone to talk to him with such emotions. No, it should be said that he was questioning him in a puzzled manner.
Such words could only prove that even Chiang Weiguo, the person he relied on the most in the system, was full of worry. It was enough to show how irreparable the situation had become. However, was this really a matter that he had to admit defeat and compromise to solve? Perhaps, he didn't think so.
After drinking half of the wine, Fann Binn picked up a rib and took a few bites. He put down the chopsticks and smiled at Chiang Weiguo. "Uncle Chiang, I heard what you said in my heart. To be honest, under such circumstances, I'm afraid that those who are truly sincere to me will... Only you, Uncle Chiang. You're right, I'm not a blind and brainless fool. I know very well the difference between me and that old man."
"I also know the result of what you said. You provoked such a person. Perhaps you will be doomed beyond redemption. However, I've been thinking for a long time. Can a person really bend and bend? Perhaps others can do it, but I really can't go against my own heart. This matter is far from as simple as admitting defeat."
" If you want me to admit defeat, then there's no problem at all. After all, I'm just a businessman. Indeed, I'm not a match for him, but you have to let me go against my conscience. Abandoning my pride and doing things that I think I didn't do wrong... You must make me apologize to him even if you deny it. I'm sorry, I, Fann Binn, have this bit of pride in my bones, even if I have to go bankrupt. I won't give in like this! "
Chiang Weiguo stared blankly at Fann Binn, who had said these words so decisively and decisively. He subconsciously opened his mouth. However, he did not make any sound for a long time. Fann Binn's expression was stern and righteous. His body emitted no fear. What do you want him to say with a clear conscience? What do you want him to say? What did he say? Perhaps it was to make Fann Binn look down on him even more!
Yes, perhaps this matter had come into contact with Chiang Weiguo. He had already weighed the pros and cons before going to apologize in reality. Perhaps he felt uncomfortable in his heart, or perhaps he would feel wronged. But he would still go, because he could not destroy everything he had because of such a small matter.
However, even though Fann Binn knew that this was the case, he still didn't want to do it. Rather than saying that he was stupid, it would be more accurate to say that he was stupid. Harder!
Although Chiang Weiguo was very unwilling to admit it, he still had to sigh. "Good, good, good! Fann Binn, you are indeed principled and upright! I, Chiang Weiguo, did not misjudge you. You are a guy who would rather die than be spared. Haha, so what if you are Qin Zhentian? So what if you are a big shot in the army! As long as he has a clear conscience!"
Fann Binn smiled bitterly at Chiang Weiguo's praise. " But because of this, I have to offend Qin Zhentian. I have to offend such a powerful enemy. Uncle Chiang, what you said is indeed my best choice at the moment. But the problem is that I really can't do it. I'm sorry."
" It's nothing. If reformist doesn't help you, I will help you even if it costs me my life! It's not because of anything else, just because you dare to do something, just because you dare to do something that I, Chiang Weiguo, don't dare to do. Just because I have been friends and brothers with you for so many years, I will support you! "
Chiang Weiguo slammed the table, rolled up his sleeves, poured a glass of strong liquor, and gulped it down. He laughed heartily and said, "It has been a long time since I felt so refreshed. It has been a long time since I felt this kind of pleasure and hatred! Qin Zhentian oppressed the reformist and didn't want them to interfere. I want to speak up for you. However, I was scolded and warned by those old men of the reformist. "
" Damn it, isn't it because I'm afraid that the authority to support the reformist without military authority will be affected? Because of this, they can ignore the great contributions they made in the past. Don't even think about who it was that helped them obtain their current position in the dark! Didn't that Qin Zhentian do it for the sake of forcing you to death? If you want to die, I will accompany you!"
Fann Binn was very touched by Chiang Weiguo's timely support, but he knew that he had to deal with this matter alone at this time. If Chiang Weiguo was involved, it would only make him feel guilty. However, he couldn't help at all.
He shook his head and said bitterly to Chiang Weiguo, "Uncle Chiang, I appreciate your kindness, but please don't be like this. I am now at the top of the storm. Even if you join me, you will not be of any help. Instead, you will make me look like a slut. Don't blame those old men from the reformist. They were also thinking about the reformist. I understand this point."1
"After all, national politics is not child's play. The sacrifice of one or two people will not harm the overall situation. They must prioritize the overall situation. Don't worry, I will face it alone, even if Old Master Qin is facing a storm. I will take it! "
