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

Wen Tongren listened quietly to Ji Lengming's heartfelt words.

When Wen Wan heard that 'she can leave at any time', she wanted to refute.

Wen Tongren held her down in time to prevent her from interrupting.

After Ji Lengming had said everything he needed to say, the middle-aged man finally started to smile.

"Leng Ming, thank you for speaking your true thoughts."

"But I want to ask, don't you think it's too late for you to say this now?"

"Isn't the Wen family on the warship now?"

Ji Lengming was stunned.

Mr. Wen's remarks were totally beyond his expectations.

Wen continued.

"I am well-informed and well-connected. You think I don't know what you and Wanwan did?"

"Young man, you have ideals, ambitions, responsibilities and loyalty, which is a good thing, but you think too much of me!"

"It's true that I'm about to turn fifty, but I've never been a coward!"

"The ancestors of the Wen family donated guns and built granaries for the country. After I took over the family business, I advocated industrial development, rejected financial expansion, and criticized the chaos of land enclosure, which invisibly offended many people."

"Now you're telling me about business losses and never-ending peace?"

It was the first time that Ji Lengming was speechless after being confronted by his elders.

His attention quickly shifted to the sentence 'What did you and Wanwan do when I didn't know'.

He asked quickly, "You also know what Zheng Yiping has done recently and that he is about to take desperate measures?"

Wen Tongren's sources of information are more extensive than Ji Lengming imagined.

The reporters from Yangcheng went to Tuanjie Village, seemingly following Wen Wan's orders. But in fact, without Wen's nod behind the scenes, this trip to Tuanjie Village would not have been smooth.

It seems that Wen Wan is in charge, but in fact, her father is just the emperor who lives in seclusion behind the scenes.

Wen Tongren took a deep breath and said something from the bottom of his heart.

"Leng Ming, the media industry has long been on the path of market-oriented reforms. You are a smart kid, so you must understand what I mean."

Ji Lengming understood everything at once.

Marketization, a common word.

In the past, the media was a national resource, supported by public funds.

Now, its distinguishing feature is privatization.

As long as it is privately owned, its primary goal is to make a profit, and if it wants to make huge profits, it has to adopt a pro-capital policy.

In the entire Yangcheng, who has more money than the Wen family?

Your financial sponsor is supporting you, so can you not work according to his wishes?

How could we not report any disturbance in the market to our financial sponsors?

Wen Tongren couldn't say these words directly and could only rely on Ji Lengming's comprehension.

Ji Lengming was silent on the other end of the phone.

Wen Tongren knew that the other party understood his subtext.

He chuckled and said, "Editor-in-Chief Yang Cheng contacted me and said that their department had just obtained a confidential video about Zheng Yiping forcing the villagers of Tuanjie Village to turn against him and give false confessions. He also said that the video was provided by you."

He made no secret of his admiration.

"You are quite capable, you were able to put someone in the prison, and you even filmed the entire money-for-power transaction process."

Ji Lengming did not respond to this, not even a humble greeting.

He was waiting to hear what his colleague Wen would say next.

Wen was a little disappointed that there was no interaction.

After several seconds, he continued the previous topic.

"I'm also following the latest news."

"Zheng Yiping has a strong background. He has the support of senior officials above him, the assistance of think tanks in the middle, and the rampant henchmen below him."

"Tomorrow afternoon, Aurora Wealth will hold a press conference for the whole nation. It is very likely that this person wants to use this opportunity to whitewash himself."

"And once your video is released to the public, it will definitely catch Zheng Yiping off guard."

"It's not a pity that Zheng Yiping died, but everyone knows that the Wen family is behind the Yangcheng media."

"Zheng Yiping will definitely not give up after his defeat. He will definitely focus all his firepower on dealing with our Wen family. It is possible that even the high-ranking officials he supports will personally take action."

"My Wen family has long been tied to a warship with you. How dare you tell me that you won't implicate us!"

"Ok?"

Ji Lengming had only one feeling.

Wen Tongren seemed to be happily preparing for retirement, but he knew everything and understood everything. He could see the context of things more clearly than anyone else.

He said, "If Wen Wan wants to withdraw, she can cut off ties with me at any time." But in fact, can the two of them really cut off ties with me?

Everyone who has come into contact with Ji Lengming agrees that he is a warm, responsible and passionate young man.

Only Ji Lengming himself knew that he would not show his coldness and ruthlessness to others easily, but once he became cruel, the minimum severity would be to destroy the other party's family.

He designed Chen Changhai.

Later, this person survived due to force majeure, but Chen Changhai's father was dead.

He single-handedly divided the Ji family and completely changed the fate of this family.

It can even be predicted that once he becomes more powerful, Gidson and his rent-seeking and profit-seeking class with top-level narrative capabilities will become the next wave of souls to be sacrificed to the gods.

Now, he is targeting Zheng Yiping.

There are some struggles that cannot be won alone.

From a global perspective, Zheng Yiping is just an insignificant leech sucking blood from the backs of the lower-class people.

And like the former capitalist reformists, the new bourgeois ruling group cultivated by senior officials using their power, the experts and scholars with strong Western cultural genes, the groups of speculators who embraced the so-called "neoliberalism" and spared no effort to drag the country into the abyss of "total privatization"... these new groups have gradually become a cancer.

No matter which one, its harm is much greater than that of a leech.

'Making friends more and enemies fewer' is the necessary wisdom in the art of struggle.

Ji Lengming knew clearly that Wen Wan had value in united front work.

After spending some time together, the woman supported him wholeheartedly.

Every time he thought about that rich, strong love, he felt a shudder deep in his bones.

There was no way he could turn Wen Wan into an enemy and an obstacle again.

And now, Wen Tongren has made his attitude clear through his discussion - as long as you are willing, the Wen family will help you soar to the sky!

And the price is to be with your son and have him/her together for three lifetimes!

Ji Lengming didn't reply for a long time.

After a long time, he asked the question in his heart in a hoarse voice and a confused tone.

"why?"

"The path I'm going to take is against your interests."

"Why do you want to recruit an outlier like me?"

Wen asked back: "What about you? You can live a good life, why do you want to be an enemy of hegemony?"

"With your intelligence and talent, if you embrace hegemony, you will soon become the new hegemon. Why give up the wealth that is within your reach?"

Ji Lengming pursed his lips.

Many memories rotate in my mind like a kaleidoscope.

The world is full of beautiful flowers, full moons, and happy unity, but it has nothing to do with people who are suffering from poverty and illness.

His mother was diagnosed with a serious illness at the age of 16. She was later expelled by her biological parents for being a burden to her original family. She died at the age of 26 in a dilapidated tin shack.

Throughout his life, he had no food to eat and was extremely poor. He was pounced on by hungry tigers and wolves and trampled on like weeds and stones.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, Ji Lengming knew what suffering the poor were like.

His mother is undoubtedly the person who has had the greatest influence on him.

She has received education, and although her academic qualifications are not high, she has a good cultural upbringing.

When my mother was alive, the most common words she taught me were, "All people are born equal, and self-respect is the most important thing. If others don't respect you, that's their business. You must respect yourself and never belittle yourself."

She told him: "Your life and personality are just as noble and precious as those of those in power, the rich, and the rulers. There is no difference."

She also said: "Don't be embarrassed or ashamed of poverty. If the utmost hard work can't bring you the life you want, then the ones who should be ashamed are those in power."

During the last period of her life, she often looked into Xiao Ji's cold eyes, shed tears, and stroked his cheek.

In between the constant coughing and wheezing, the voices of vicissitudes of life were told.

"My child, remember that nothing lasts forever."

"The grass can reach the sky, and the sun can sink into the sea."

"You must be a brave and passionate person, holding hope like a knife, lighting the day like fire, and not be afraid of enemies built of falsehood and selfishness."

"Mom won't be able to see you grow up. You have to go back to the Ji family and never have to go through the hardships that mom has gone through."

"I hope you keep your ideals in mind, live a smooth life, and walk in the light at all times."

Fortunately, his mother's concept of equality permeated Ji Lengming's entire childhood.

Sadly, my mother's good wishes were not fulfilled.

He suffered even more vicious torture and humiliation than his mother.

Society is a huge preaching ground. The incense burning in the furnace is refining the wealth in the merit box and is used to transcend the karma of those in power.

Wen asked him why he wanted to fight against hegemony.

In fact, that was the thought that was engraved into his bones by his beautiful but ill-fated mother throughout her entire life since he was born.

Hold hope like a knife, light the day like fire, and be a brave and passionate person.

In his previous life, he learned to respect himself as a mountain and his spirit was immortal.

In this life, he understood that having ideas alone was not enough.

You also need a gun, load the bullets, and bury your enemies among the blooming mountain flowers.
