i'm not a bad man

Chapter 257 The water in the small town is very deep
Not to mention Guan Yubo, even I couldn't tell what kind of mood I felt when faced with the temptation of 100 million in cash, so I looked at Guan Yubo with a complicated look on his face and sat opposite me. Looking at each other, Guan Yubo was probably guessing my mood, so his expression looked equally complicated. The two complicated moods came together, making the atmosphere suddenly become more subtle.

I breathed a sigh of relief, finally smiled, and said: "You heard it yesterday at the bonfire night. If my idea can be implemented smoothly, how much funds will be leveraged? Now you bid 100 million, let me If I give up this opportunity... do you think it will reach my psychological price?"

Hearing what I said, Guan Yubo breathed a sigh of relief. He also responded with a smile and said, "Brother Chao, do you think I'm being underestimated?"

"It's not low, it's quite low."

"This matter is easy to discuss, so tell me the number."

I replied calmly: "1000 million."

Guan Yubo's face changed drastically. He did not expect that I would negotiate the price with him at such a multiple. Compared with 100 million, which cannot satisfy me, this obviously exceeded his psychological expectations.

"Brother Chao... 1000 million... do you really have no idea about money?... In our small town, if you have 1000 million, you can achieve financial freedom. Even if you choose the bank with the lowest return rate for this 1000 million A fixed deposit will earn an interest of 40 yuan after one year. With 40 yuan, you can buy a house with us!"

After saying that, Guan Yubo lit the cigarette, and then smiled at me, he smiled helplessly.

Laughter seems to have become the theme between the two of us; it is precisely this smile with different emotions that barely keeps us from falling out. So, I also lit a cigarette and smiled: "Me too For a person who wants to live outside a small town, it would be meaningless to use a small town as an example for this kind of thing."

Guan Yubo shook his head and smiled: "1000 million is really beyond my expectations for this matter."

"Less than 1000 million is not in line with my psychological expectations."

After these two reciprocal words were spoken, Guan Yubo and I completely fell into a deadlock, and this was what I expected, because when I said the 1000 million, I already had a judgment in my heart. I know we can't agree, but it will make Guan Yubo mistakenly think that I am a greedy person, which can be solved with money in the end, so that he will not regard me as a serious threat to their kind. For people, what they fear most is the kind of people who stick to their original intentions and fight to the death, because it will make them unable to see the hope of slavery. Since there is no hope, there is a very direct conflict of interest between the two, and in the end they will inevitably Will choose to use more extreme means than monetary bribery to achieve the goal of getting rid of them quickly.

When I came to a small town, my foundation was unstable. Of course I was afraid of such uncontrollable extreme measures. It was better to create an illusion for Guan Yubo that I was greedy for money, so as to buy myself some time and space for development; again, the same sentence , I don’t want to be his opponent, I just want to revive the “Danangou Scenic Area” in a relatively stable environment.

1000 million is a very subtle number. If it is too little, he will really agree. If it exceeds 1000 million, it is obviously a deliberate attempt to make things difficult. 1000 million is the most reasonable number I imagined; Guan Yubo still lives in a small town after all. If Heizu is asked to deal with the same thing for a long time, after weighing the pros and cons, he will definitely give me 1000 million without hesitation. Although Heizu may not be richer than Guan Yubo, but a rich man who has been traveling abroad for a long time and a Rich people who take root in small towns have a different vision after all.

I believe that when Guan Yubo feels a more serious threat from me, he will agree to the 1000 million, but by that time, I am afraid it will be too late.

……

Guan Yubo is not a troubled person. After we failed to reach an agreement, he decisively ended the topic and then focused all his attention on the already boiling hot pot. He only chatted with me here and there. And then the meeting ended with insignificant gossip.

……

Guan Yubo is a person who loves spicy food. I ate some with him. Standing in the sun, I felt my lips were numb and my stomach was burning. I couldn't help but let out a long breath. At this time, Guan Yubo had already driven his car to me. Next to me, he pressed down the car window and said to me: "Brother Chao, I'll leave first."

"Okay, Yu Bo, please go slower on the road."

Guan Yubo responded, and after a short pause, he said to me: "Brother Chao, I will continue to pay attention to what happened to you last night. I also want to know who is behind this. Who... When the truth comes out, I hope it will be an expected result. What can I say about the small town... It is indeed not big, but the water is really deep, especially those who made their fortune in the early days, doing mining business. , there are really not many clean people!”

"Well, I also hope it will be an expected result."

Guan Yubo gave me a meaningful look, nodded, and drove away.

……

After Guan Yubo left, I immediately went to a nearby convenience store and bought a bottle of orange juice. Ignoring the cold winter, I unscrewed the cap and drank half of the bottle in one gulp. Then I was stunned by the sunlight... This small town , is really not a peaceful place!

……

I finally sat back in my car and immediately took out my phone. I sent a message back to Lu Xi: "I will definitely do a good job in this career, no matter how far ahead of me you are, I will definitely try my best to chase you..."

After that, I sent another message to Luxi: "The town is not big, but in this place, what we have experienced is no less than in Qingdao. If I can write these experiences and the resulting inner feelings into a song, I will I think it is the most meaningful commemoration, so I will do my best to write songs...I am already looking forward to how we will meet next time."

Lu Xi had already boarded the plane and could not reply to me immediately, but I still stopped where I was and waited until I was sure that I couldn't wait any longer, then I drove to the place where I lived with Chang Yuli and Qiao Jiao.

……

Surprisingly, there were several cars parked in the yard of Chang Yuli's villa, which was rarely visited by anyone. After a closer look, one of them belonged to Chang Tianming. This made me a little confused. I was in Chang Yuli's house. Yu Li has lived here for many days, and this is his first time here.

Opening the door, Chang Tianming was sitting on the sofa in the center of the living room. Sitting next to him was Director Wang, whom I was already familiar with. Next to Director Wang sat another middle-aged man who looked like a leader whom I had never met before. A young man, and two young men stood behind them. They looked young and strong, but their identities were unknown.

Seeing me entering, Chang Tianming, the richest man in the town, actually stood up, came to my side, and said to me with concern: "Xiao Han, I've heard everything about last night... this matter ... He is really a bastard... I will definitely say hello to the police station, and we must get to the bottom of it!"

Chang Tianming said, then took my arm and said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, Uncle Chang, it's just a little skin injury."

"As long as it's okay, it's okay... After I heard about this, I didn't even think about eating. I had to come and see you anyway."

I smiled; at this time, Chang Tianming nodded again to the two young people who had been standing. The two young people immediately came to us, looking like they were ready for help at any time.

"Xiao Han, I have to take the main responsibility for what happened to you... You didn't just stay in the small town for a day or two, but you will be here for a long time. This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen again. One of these two brothers is named Luo Cong. Wen, one named Luo Congwu, are both coaches in our martial arts gym, and they will follow you from now on, specifically responsible for your safety."

I was stunned for a moment, and then I suddenly realized that this was actually a bodyguard specially assigned to me...

I couldn't help but feel a little confused. Thinking back to the time when Zuo Xiaowei and I came to the small town to live a stable life, I felt filled with sadness. At first, I just wanted to open a guitar training class here and lived a normal life, but something unexpected happened. , I actually need bodyguard protection. Although it is to protect my safety, it also makes me feel inexplicably insecure.

I remembered again what Guan Yubo said to me when I separated from him before. He said that the small town is not big, but the water is deep enough. People who don’t step in the water will certainly not be able to understand it, but when I have stepped into this pool of water, When I was there, I realized it clearly.

I smiled awkwardly and replied: "Uncle Chang... Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?!"

"It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration at all... What we are doing now affects someone else's cake. This time it is probably just a warning. I'm afraid it will be even more crazy in the future... We can be considered prepared and have no future troubles." After a pause, Chang Tianming said to me in a more serious tone: "Although this small town is not big, the water is deep, so you should be careful when sailing."

This is the second time I have heard similar words today, and the people who said these words are leaders of two eras. Although they have the same views, in my opinion, it is also an invisible collision. They were all afraid of each other and put me at the forefront of this.

This matter is not complicated at all. In the end, it turned out to be a dispute over a road expansion project. I have also heard about it. I heard that this is a project worth hundreds of millions. It is also the largest public investment in the town so far. Anyone with the ability can Those who won this project are already salivating.

If Chang Tianming can bring this project to the Danangou Scenic Area, not only will he be able to earn a lot of money from doing the project, but it will also make the Danangou Scenic Area soar into the sky; the same is true for Guan Yubo...

The incident itself was not complicated, but the situation was extremely complicated. Just when I was in a daze thinking about this, my phone vibrated again. This was a text message from an unknown number, but it was stated in the text message. It's Zuo Xiaowei. She wants to have a chat with me.
