The school beauty tortured me physically and mentally, and I was reborn as a licking dog and cut off

From the moment Wen Tongren saw Zhao Kai, he immediately felt an offense of his privacy being violated.

What's more, the other party also secretly criticized him in his words, which made Wen Tongren even more annoyed.

But the good self-cultivation he had developed over a long period of time allowed him to control his emotions at the first moment.

"You're following me!"

Zhao Kai immediately shook his head and denied it: "How could I do such a despicable thing to someone I respect! Uncle, please don't misunderstand me!"

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Zhao Kai pointed his finger upwards to the sky, with a serious face: "Uncle Wen, I swear to heaven!"

Wen Tongren didn't believe the nonsense this person swore.

I don't want to get into a verbal dispute. After all, it's quite embarrassing to argue with a junior.

"In that case, I will continue my business trip and you can do your thing!"

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

It would be difficult for Zhao Kai to let the other party get away easily.

His voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the spacious hall.

"Uncle Wen, actually, I am here on a business trip just like you."

"What a coincidence! It's such a lucky day!"

"Based on today's coincidence, it stands to reason that I should treat Uncle Wen to a cup of tea, don't you think?"

Wen Tongren is not a three-year-old child. His mind is as clear as a mirror. He knows at a glance what this person wants to say and what he wants to do.

Ji Lengming had previously briefly told him the relationship between Zhao Kai, Zhao Hu and Zheng Yiping.

Collusion between government and business is nothing new.

But when a public official of such a high rank colludes with a CEO worth tens of billions of dollars, the depths of the matter are too deep for ordinary people to fathom.

At that time, Ji Lengming told him not to get involved, but he was still full of resentment.

But at this moment, seeing that Zhao Kai knew his whereabouts very well and appeared in front of him in a provocative manner, one can imagine how surprised he was.

Wen Tongren was no pushover either, he quickly regained his composure.

He changed his previous indifferent attitude, became amiable, and even had a smile on his face.

"How can I, an elder, drink tea with a younger person like you? If you want to drink, you should drink with your father!"

"Your father is Zhao Hu, right? You two look alike, but you are much more handsome than your father."

Zhao Kai's eyes flickered, and he pretended to greet: "Oh? Uncle Wen knows my father?"

Wen Tongren leaned against the handrail of the stairs, his eyes suddenly looking far away, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"I met your father before when I attended a corporate summit. It should have been more than ten years ago. Oh, come to think of it, your father was a provincial leader at that time. He was a pretty good man. He made the opening speech at the conference, wearing plain glasses and looking very serious and solemn."

He paused and continued his story.

"Later, at a dinner party, I wanted to take the opportunity to get to know your father and discuss the construction of agriculture-related projects."

"Who would have known that several agricultural bidding projects in City D had already been secretly divided up."

"What a pity! At that time, I heard that your father liked stamps, calligraphy and paintings, so I specially collected a lot of them, hoping to take the opportunity to do him a favor."

"I didn't expect that in the end, all my efforts would be in vain!"

The words "drawing water with a bamboo basket is in vain" are not explicit but full of hints.

Zhao Kai could hear the other party's hidden meaning.

Although he seemed to be chatting about the past, he was actually reminding himself that no matter what his intentions were, this trip to the jade shop would be a waste of time!

He was just wondering why Wen Tongren mentioned the past for no reason, and it turned out that he was waiting for him here.

Zhao Kai turned his wheelchair and moved forward. He raised his head and his eyes met with the middle-aged man standing on a high place.

He pretended to be surprised and asked, "So Uncle Wen and my father have such a connection?"

Wen Tongren said nothing and watched the young man's performance quietly.

Zhao Kai then sighed: "Ah! It seems that my father really failed to fulfill his duties at that time!"

"How about this, I will apologize to you, Uncle Wen, on behalf of my father."

"Since you are in the jade shop, I won't say anything polite. All your consumption in the store today, Uncle Wen, will be paid by my Zhao family. This is also a small show of sincerity from my family."

"I just hope that Uncle Wen can put aside the past grudges, show some favor, and give me a glass of wine. What do you think?"

Zhao Kai's tone was cordial, his attitude was humble, and his words were humble and submissive, as if their family was really the one at fault and was now regretting their past and urgently wanted to atone for their sins.

Wen Tongren was very clear-headed. He was well aware of the bad qualities of the rich and powerful, and he also understood that there were two types of people in the world who were the most unreliable: businessmen and officials.

If you really believe what Zhao Kai said, it would be better to reincarnate earlier.

Faced with Zhao Kai's deliberate flattery, Wen Tongren just smiled.

He said calmly, "Forget about making amends or anything like that. My Wen family is not short of money."

"I'm telling you about the past not to gain anything from you, but to express my thoughts."

"Since our two families missed each other due to fate more than ten years ago, there is no need to pick up the relationship again today."

"What was in the past will remain the same in the future. They are irrelevant and remain empty."

"I think I have made my meaning clear this time, right?!"

Zhao Kai pursed his lips tightly when he heard that. As proud as he was, he was furious in his heart.

Wen Tongren stood on the mahogany stairs, looking down from above, with an elegant demeanor and a smiling face to greet everyone.

Although he seemed to be smiling and easy to talk to, there was always a hint of hardness in his eyes. No matter how eloquently the other party spoke, he remained unmoved.

He talked about the past, cited facts, and explained the reasons, all in order to distance himself from the relationship between the two parties.

Zhao Kai is not a good-tempered and patient person.

I have humbled myself time and again, and even said the words "apology", but I was treated like this in return for all my condescension!

To be honest, the Wen family is just a merchant family now. What qualifications do they have to reject the goodwill of the government?

Merchants have always been the ones to curry favor with the powerful, but this is the first time a high-ranking official has begged a businessman!

Zhao Kai became angry and impatient.

"Uncle Wen, let's not talk about the past for now. As for the future, it's not up to you to decide!"

"Since you know my father, you should know what kind of social status he holds!"

A trace of contempt flashed across Wen Tongren's eyes.

"Why, since the soft approach doesn't work, you plan to use the hard approach?"

"It's your father who has a high social status, not you. You are a little brat who has no achievements and relies on your parents' prestige to show off. What nonsense are you talking about in front of me!"

Zhao Kai didn't expect that the other party would not give him any face at all. He was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing.

After he became annoyed to a certain extent, he calmed down.

She adjusted the hem of her clothes with her hands, hiding the murderous intent in her eyes, and then met Wen Tongren's gaze again.

"Uncle Wen is right, but isn't it normal to compete with parents, family background and background these days?"

"Since I have such unique resources, why should I suffer like ordinary people standing on a crowded track?"

"Besides, you have a daughter, right? She is also enjoying the honor and convenience you bring her, right?"

"Since your daughter can use the Wen family as a stepping stone, why can't I enjoy the fruits of my parents' labor?"

"Uncle Wen, you are being too hypocritical!"

Wen Tongren knew the other party would say this.

But how could his daughter be equated with people like Zhao Kai?

Before, perhaps his Wanwan still retained the indifferent and cold bandit spirit, loved power, and used cruel methods.

But in recent times, her changes have been unexpected.

Although Wen Wan took power from her old father, Wen Tongren still had the power to review the company's charter files.

He is like the emperor emeritus, who has abdicated on the surface, but in reality, he still controls the overall situation at all times.

In the series of new company policies introduced by Wen Wan, "people's livelihood" and "security" occupy a considerable proportion.

This shows what?

This shows that people who used to be cold and selfish now know how to take on social responsibilities.

He does not object to children enjoying the blessings brought by their parents and grandparents, but he does not want children who enjoy convenient resources to only squander pleasure and satisfy their selfish desires while ignoring the responsibilities and missions given by their positions.

When Wen was young, he did not know the meaning of "sense of responsibility".

As he gets older, watching Wanwan grow taller and taller and experience more and more storms, he occasionally puts himself in other people's shoes and thinks of the thousands of parents who have daughters like him, and a new feeling arises spontaneously.

Wen Tongren glanced coldly at the young man downstairs.

The voice is not loud, but the taunt value is full.

"How dare you compete with my daughter? Who gave you the courage?"

"Young man, it's not a good thing to think too highly of yourself!"

"Besides, I know why you came to me, but unfortunately, I can't make the decision right now."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if Wen can make the decision, there is no way our two families can make peace!"

Zhao Kai was irritated by Wen Tongren's decisive words.

The feeling of having his dignity torn into pieces by others made his eyes turn red.

The voice was almost trembling.

"Mr. Wen!"

"I respect you, so I tolerate you time and time again, but you are just as ungrateful as your arrogant daughter!"

"In this world, profit comes first. I originally wanted to marry your daughter. Our two families would be a perfect match and create a happy story..."

When Wen Tongren heard the words "marry your daughter", he thought he was hard of hearing and must have heard it wrong.

He immediately interrupted: "What did you just say?"

"You want to marry my daughter?"

Zhao Kai raised his chin arrogantly: "It is your family's honor that I like your daughter..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Wen Tongren's eyes were blazing with anger, and he was so furious that he grabbed the jade shop owner who was trying hard to reduce his presence.

He pointed his finger at Zhao Kai.

He shouted at the shop owner, "You, get someone to kick the crippled guy in the wheelchair out!"

"I don't want to see him!"

"Throw him as far as possible!"
