Chapter 201 [Analysis]
Although it was less than an hour before the tomb robbery, Shen Jiayin's grave has recovered as before, and there are almost no traces of destruction on the outside, but what if it is restored to its original appearance? The ashes in the grave have long disappeared. When they come to their mother's grave, Su Mingzhu can no longer control the sadness in her heart and falls to the grave and cry loudly. Su Mingyue has stopped crying, but when she sees her sister crying, the sadness in her heart is also aroused, and she kneels beside her sister and starts to cry.
Su Le did not cry, so shedding things for her sisters. What is more important for him is how to stabilize the current situation. His father's funeral has ended. No matter whether the process is complete or not, it has finally come to an end.
Su Mingzhu, who has always been strong, did not cry so miserably even when her father passed away, but today the gate of her relationship was completely opened. Once it was opened, it was irresistible. Su Le did not advise her, allowing the accumulation of sadness in her heart was definitely not a good thing. Let her cry and vent her well should be a good thing. Su Le still asked Minglong to stay, and he turned around and left Cuiqingshan first.
Pang Runliang followed him all the time and finally found the opportunity to talk to Su Le alone. He whispered to Su Le with the three conditions proposed by Zuo Qiang.
After hearing this, Su Le shook his head and refused flatly: "I will not agree to any of his three conditions."
Pang Runliang said: "A real man can bend and stretch. After all, Zuo Qiang is an old man in the sect. What he cares about is nothing more than a face. I think even if you make some concessions, it is not embarrassing. As long as he doesn't interfere, when you ascend to the position of the sect leader, won't he still listen to you in the future?"
Su Le looked at Pang Runliang with some dissatisfaction and said, "You want me to be the leader of this sect, but I didn't want to be him." After he said that, he accelerated his pace and threw Pang Runliang away.
Pang Runliang looked at Su Le's back with a little helplessness.
Back at the Shazhou mansion of Su family, Sang Hongxiu was talking to a man in the living room. The man looked about forty years old, with a handsome appearance and elegant temperament. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Sang Hongqi that Su Le had seen before. It was Sang Hongxiu's second brother Sang Hongxing. When Su Donglai, the Organization Department of the Central Committee, died, Sang Hongxing was visiting Europe. Although he rushed back from Europe as soon as possible when he heard the news, he still did not have time to attend Su Donglai's funeral.
When Sang Hongxiu saw Su Le coming back, he waved to him and said, "Su Le, come here, I'll introduce you."
But Sang Hongxing had already put down the teacup in his hand and stood up with a smile, and took the initiative to reach out: "No need to introduce, Su Le, I am your uncle Sang Hongxing." Sang Hongxing smiled kindly. Years of officialdom experience allowed him to grasp the etiquette and standards of interpersonal communication quite accurately. He took the initiative to reach out but did not move a step under his feet. After all, Su Le was his junior.
Su Le walked over and shook hands with Sang Hongxing and said, "Hello, uncle!"
Sang Hongxing patted Su Le's back of his hand and pulled him to sit down on the sofa.
Su Le said: "When did my uncle come?"
Sang Hongxing sighed and said, "I flew back from Europe the day I heard the news, but the turnaround was delayed, so I have arrived now and I haven't had time to send your dad the last journey."
Su Le said: "My uncle, many things cannot be forced. As long as you have something in your heart, it is still the same."
Sang Hongxing nodded with a smile. He looked at Su Le and whispered: "Like you and your father are really similar."
Sang Hongxiu said, "Of course the father and son are like each other!" She personally added tea to her younger brother, poured another cup for Su Le, and said casually: "The newspaper has agreed. A public apology statement will be published tomorrow. The reporter involved in this matter has also been fired by the newspaper. He will no longer have the opportunity to engage in journalism in the future. As for the president of the Morning News, a new candidate will soon be replaced by him." Although Sang Hongxiu said it lightly, he listened to the thunder in Su Le silently. Of course, he would not think that these were the result of his and Zhao Qianchou's threat.
Sang Hongxing said: "Now journalists like to write randomly and use public opinion freedom as a guise. Public opinion freedom cannot be allowed to be nonsense and to take responsibility for catching things."
Sang Hongxiu said to Su Le: "Su Le, it's all your uncle's help in this matter."
Only then did Su Le realize that Sang Hongxing played a key role in this matter, and quickly thanked Sang Hongxing.
Sang Hongxing smiled and said, "It's all a family, so there's no need to thank you." He put the teacup on the coffee table, looked at the watch and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I have to leave."
Sang Hongxiu frowned slightly and said, "Why are you leaving now? Let's talk about it after dinner."
Sang Hongxing said: "Not tonight. Mayor Yu heard that I came over and invited me to have dinner together. I dare not give me this face."
When Sang Hongxiu heard that the mayor had invited him, he could only nodded and Su Le sent Sang Hongxing out of the door.
When he came back, he saw Sang Hongxiu still sitting there waiting for him and whispered: "Little Mom!"
Sang Hongxiu sighed and said, "The relationship between your uncle and the city's senior management! I asked him to coordinate with him. Recently, many fingers have been pointed at us so nervous that it makes people breathless."
Su Le said: "Please trouble you."
Sang Hongxiu said: "Since it's a family, don't say such things in the future. Too polite will make you look more aloof."
Su Le nodded.
Sang Hongxiu said: "I heard that you and Zhao Qianchou have been to the newspaper together?"
Su Le did not deny: "I can't let them slander the reputation of the Su family, I have to do something."
Sang Hongxiu said: "Violence is the direct means to solve problems, but it is not the only means, nor the best means. I remember your father often said when he was alive. When you punch someone, others will feel pain, and you will feel pain. The greater the power you use, the clearer your pain will be. So the best way is to let others do it and stand by and watch."
Su Le said: "Many times, only by doing it yourself can you feel more relieved."
Sang Hongxiu smiled and shook her head. There was little smile on her face. She only felt the young man's vigorous side from Su Le's words. She whispered: "The higher the status, the more you need to be careful when doing things. Because of your position, countless pairs of eyes are staring at you. Even if you make such a slight mistake, many people will see it, and then they will magnify your mistake countless times."
Su Le said: "Fortunately, I am young and have a chance to make mistakes."
Sang Hongxiu sighed and said, "When you wait for the future, you will understand that being young is by no means a reason to make a mistake."
Su Le was silent for a while, then picked up the teacup in front of him, and after drinking the cup of tea, he made a decision. He decided to tell Sang Hongxiu what happened in Qianjimen. Although he had not been in contact with Sang Hongxiu for a long time, he had already seen that Sang Hongxiu was a very intelligent woman. Her understanding of the Su family's Qianjimen was far above him. More importantly, she and herself are currently in a cooperative relationship, and at least for the moment, they have common interests.
Su Le said: "The people from Qianjimen want me to take over."
Sang Hongxiu was not surprised by the news. What made her feel relieved was that Su Le could tell her this news, proving that his trust in him was increasing. Sang Hongxiu certainly understood that a large part of this was driven by common interests. But no matter what the basis, they had to establish a relationship of mutual trust. Only mutual trust could enhance their future cooperation. Sang Hongxiu had pointed out before that if Su Le wanted to better control those people, the best way was to become the spokesperson for their interests. Since Qianjimen had already had the idea of letting Su Le take over, this matter was developing in an ideal direction. She whispered: "The position of the sect leader is originally your father's, and it is natural for the son to inherit his father's business!"
Su Ledao: "Someone has put forward the conditions."
Sang Hongxiu showed off her eyebrows and frowned slightly: "Zuo Qiang?"
Su Le nodded and said, "He put forward three conditions for me: one, to take back his interests in the Su family, two, to let me let Zhang Zutang go, three, to ask me to serve him tea and admit my mistake."
Sang Hongxiu stared at Su Le with deep eyes and said, "Are you going to agree to him?"
Su Le said: "I refuse!"
Sang Hongxiu whispered: "It's good to refuse!" After saying that, she asked again: "Why refuse?"
"His conditions are too much! And he is disrespectful to my father, so he should have accepted the mistake of serving tea." Su Le said without hesitation.
Sang Hongxiu said: "No one will respect the weak in this era. If you show weakness, you will give others the opportunity to despise you. If you want to gain a foothold in this society, the first thing you learn is to refuse. A person who does not know how to refuse is to have no principles. So no matter whether his conditions are excessive or not, you must refuse! If you want to take the initiative, you must use the word "rejection" well."
Su Le's eyes lit up. Although Sang Hongxiu's views were the same as himself, his reasons were completely different.
Sang Hongxiu said, "I don't know what the reason for Zuo Qiang's arrogantness is? He thought your father left and there was no one in our Su family? This group of orphans and widows let him bully him?" Sang Hongxiu shook his head and said, "He forgot the most important thing. The Su family left his support or the Su family, but if he left the Su family, he could only be a beggar. No matter how many younger brothers he brought, no matter how powerful he had, money is the hard truth in today's era."
Sang Hongxiu's words were like enlightenment, which made Su Le suddenly understand how he should do it.
Sang Hongxiu said: "The Qianjimen cannot be messed up. A knife can become a tool for the kitchen in the hands of some people, but it can become a weapon for killing people in the hands of others. How to use it well must be considered carefully. Some things must be done by yourself. You can work with others. Even if Zuo Qiang doesn't care about his interests, others will not care about it."
