Chapter 151

In a café in Dragon City, Su Tianyu looked coldly at Zhang Taotao, completely unresponsive.

Zhang Taotao smoothed her hair, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she continued, "You should be able to guess my situation. For me personally, I want Su Tiannan back more than anyone else, because he's in the hands of Miao Ziwei and Price, and at any moment, they could ruin me. If there were any possibility, I wouldn't hold back."

"How long will it take?" Su Tianyu asked, picking up a cigarette pack, his voice hoarse.

"I don't want to lie to you, long term, five or six years; short term, two or three," Zhang Taotao replied clearly. "My idea is this: in the subsequent negotiations, I will add Su Tiannan to the list of conditions that must be compromised on, first to save his life, and then to think about how to operate things later. Once the interests of the mining industry have been divided and everyone has their share of the dividends, the tension between the two sides will lessen, and the rest will be easier. So, when Su Tiannan gets out depends on the relationship between the two major parties at the top in the near future, and how quickly the mining industry yields profits."

Su Tianyu took a deep drag on his cigarette: "That's too long."

"There's no other way. He was caught red-handed, and the military is furious. If it weren't for Karl in your hands, it's unknown whether he would even be alive now." Zhang Taotao paused, looking down. "In the end, we're just insignificant small fries in the face of the Great Zone and the parties. It's not easy just to survive and have a little chance to protect our own interests."

Su Tianyu naturally knew that Zhang Taotao was telling the truth, and he also understood that if there were even the slightest chance, this woman would definitely not want Su Tiannan to be held in Hua Mansion, because it would do her no good.

Su Tianyu was unwilling, but there was no good way to get his brother out in a short time. The only thing he could do was use Karl and the terminal data to restrain the other side, and first ensure his brother's life.

Perhaps there is never anything absolutely perfect in life. The Liming Sheng team's plan for Seven Islands was undoubtedly a victory in terms of results, but the cost was also considerable. Some people died, and some went in.

Su Tiannan was not one of the lucky ones. On the contrary, he was very unlucky, just one step away from getting out.

Perhaps this is fate. Heaven destined that his brother would have a calamity at this age, at this point in time. Or perhaps this is the inevitable result of his brother's personality. He loves his family very much, so he is willing to take risks for his brothers and sisters. He is somewhat cynical, gloomy, and taciturn, but once he is convinced of something, he will definitely go all the way.

After a long silence, Su Tianyu stood up: "Before things are completely settled, I need to see my brother. I can't just take your word for it."

"No problem, I'll arrange it," Zhang Taotao agreed readily.

Su Tianyu said with a cigarette in his mouth, "That's it, I'm leaving."

"Negotiations start the day after tomorrow," Zhang Taotao reminded him.

Su Tianyu turned to look at her, pointed at her and said, "It's because of my brother that you were able to consider your personal factors at a crucial moment! If it were me, or anyone else, they would have thrown you under the bus and run away."

Zhang Taotao did not argue: "He is indeed different from you."

Su Tianyu strode away.

...

Hua Mansion, a little after nine o'clock in the evening.

Fei the Bald and his wife, dressed in well-fitting suits, were sitting in a magnificent hotel private room, eating and chatting with Jin Xiaobao of Sanfeng Capital.

Jin Xiaobao is one of Shen Fei, Boss Shen's, personal secretaries, mainly responsible for connecting with people like Fei the Bald.

Before the Seven Islands incident, Fei the Bald would never have been able to talk to Jin Xiaobao at all, because there were still two levels of responsible persons between them, but now that the matter has been safely settled, and Fei the Bald has made a great contribution, Jin Xiaobao is holding such a grand banquet for him.

"Brother Fei, President Shen praised you highly! Said you are a modern version of Yu Zecheng, going deep into the tiger's den and making indelible contributions to the complete destruction of Seven Islands." Jin Xiaobao said with a light smile, "I have to congratulate you, this time... you are really going to take off."

"Hehe, thank you for President Shen's appreciation." Fei the Bald smiled, seemingly foolishly, "If there is anything, you and President Shen can directly tell me, and I will definitely do my best!"

"That's for sure." Jin Xiaobao whispered to Fei the Bald, "The Seven Islands incident is over, and Boss Shen flew to the Old Triangle, but he said that when he comes back, he must meet you in person!"

"Okay, I also want to have in-depth exchanges with the president," Fei the Bald replied, grinning.

"Okay, let's skip the pleasantries." After Jin Xiaobao said the words of goodwill, he immediately took out a check from his arms, placed it on the table and said, "This is a red envelope from Boss Shen!"

When Fei the Bald saw the check, his eyes turned red, and without any coyness, he picked it up and looked at it: "So much?!"

"3.88 million, auspicious number!" Jin Xiaobao said with a light smile, "The president said that capable people like you should be given importance! Put you in a key position to shine. This money is a bonus, and also the start-up capital for you to recruit troops, but it's not a one-time thing, and subsequent investment will be increased!"

Fei the Bald immediately clasped his fists and said, "President Shen is so thoughtful!! I will never forget his kindness!"

"Come on, drink!"

"Manager Jin, can I withdraw this money at any time?" Fei the Bald asked very seriously.

"...Haha!" Jin Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "You can withdraw it now!"

"Oh, that quenches my thirst, quenches my thirst!" Fei the Bald was very happy, and casually threw the check to his wife, stood up, raised his glass and said, "To be honest! Manager Jin! I have been worried about this money all the time. I also put a house into the Seven Islands thing myself. With this money, I can finally give an explanation to my brothers!"

"There will be no shortage in the future, cheers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two drank it all in one gulp.

In fact, at first glance, Sanfeng Capital giving Fei the Bald 3.88 million at one time is indeed a bit much. Because Ouyang Zhen gave the entire Liming Sheng team only a little over a million in activity funds, and it was still paid in installments.

But thinking about it carefully, this money is not too much.

Why?

Because before this incident, Sanfeng Capital was equivalent to half giving up on Fei the Bald and was no longer allocating money to him. Therefore, Fei the Bald himself invested a lot in this matter.

In fact, in the entire incident, Fei the Bald's role was absolutely crucial, and he even almost died himself. So, if the job is done beautifully in the end, there will naturally be rewards, and 3.88 million is just a drop in the bucket for Boss Shen himself and what he got.

And the most important point is that Boss Shen felt that Fei the Bald was a person who could be cultivated and given importance, so he gave him more money.

Pulling in the team, wooing people! Spending money is a must.

In addition, Fei the Bald's brothers also had casualties. Even if each person is compensated with only one hundred thousand or eighty thousand, it is not a small amount of money.

Therefore, the amount of this settlement is the result of the accumulation of various reasons, not just the travel expenses for one job.

...

Half an hour later.

Fei the Bald swayed unsteadily, clasping his fists at Jin Xiaobao and saying, "Manager Jin, don't worry! In the future, my brothers and I will definitely serve you and President Shen wholeheartedly!"

"You're too kind, you're too kind. Let's take our time and get along, we are all friends!"

"Then that's it, we'll leave first!"

"Be careful on your way!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Fei the Bald got into the car with his wife, Ah Hua, hiccupping with alcohol.

Thirty seconds later, the car left the hotel, and Fei the Bald said with a yawn, "No need to go back to the residence, go directly to Dragon City!"

"Why?" Ah Hua asked.

"Silly! We have to run!" Fei the Bald replied indifferently.
