Le Zhengming had no idea what a thrilling conversation was taking place next door.
After he finished editing the picture of the little fox, he secretly hid it in a folder, lay down with red ears and fell asleep.
Before closing his eyes, he took out his cell phone and silently liked Zhuang Li’s selfie nine-square grid. Then he brought up the chat box and deleted and re-wrote “Good night” many times, but finally failed to send it. When strangers meet for the first time, it might be bad if the interaction was too intimate.
With such thoughts, he couldn’t sleep well all night.
At the same time, Zhuang Li was investigating everything about Le Zhengming on the Internet. He had been performing tasks in the military department before, and all his information was kept confidential. Without special investigation, Zhuang Li could not discover his existence. But now, his party was preparing to put him on stage, so he appeared in a five-star hotel in a low-key manner.
“He is running for president against Gong Xuanqi.” Zhuang Li stared at Gong Xuanqi’s sanctimonious smile on the computer screen, and a sneer forming on his bright red lips.
7480 felt that something was wrong: “Master, what do you want to do? You don’t want to interfere with this presidential election, do you?”
“If I hadn’t come, would Le Zhengming have been plotted against by Zhu Jianrui?”
Zhuang Li brought up a photo of Le Zhengming in military uniform saluting the national flag, and his tone changed from cold to gentle: “He is such an upright person, completely different from a rubbish like Zhu Jianrui.”
Zhuang Li closed his eyes and said hoarsely: “I can already imagine what methods Zhu Jianrui must have used to deal with him. It will still be the same methods, fabricating evidence, guiding public opinion, and inserting a knife in the back. The Gong family’s methods are very dirty. They will just use them to deal with him and to pull Le Zhengming down from a high place, leaving him ruined and deprived of everything. He might even be arrested and imprisoned on trumped-up charges and die in a cell for no apparent reason. The best way to deal with a public figure is to destroy his reputation and let him become a criminal.”
7480 didn’t dare to say anything at all.
The host’s guess was absolutely correct. Le Zhengming’s final fate was exactly the same as that of the original owner, who was assassinated in a cell. Gong Xuanqi stepped on his corpse and rose to power and trained Zhu Jianrui to be his next generation successor.
From then on, the world was completely dominated by Zhu Jianrui, while Le Zhengming had long been forgotten. What was even more tragic was that a few years later, history books criticized and disparaged him, erasing all his achievements. He did not just become the dust of history, but a stain on history.
Zhuang Li guessed the plot so well that 7480 didn’t dare to say anything.
He took a deep breath, then took out his mobile phone and texted Le Zhengming: [It is said that you are running for president. Is your team still hiring? I’d like to apply for your chief cybersecurity officer position.]
The next day, Le Zhengming saw this text message as soon as he got up but did not reply immediately. A personal relationship was a personal relationship, and a business relationship was a business relationship. He could not mix them up. What’s more, in this election, he represented the interests of the people, the interests of the team, and the interests of the party. Every decision he made would affect many people.
[I will arrange an interview for you as soon as possible.] In the end, he did not refuse, but gave Zhuang Li a chance.
[Okay, I’ll wait for your notification at any time.]
The conversation between the two ended here, and then one went out to work and the other lay back in bed to catch up on his sleep.
….
Zhuang Li slept until three or four o’clock in the afternoon before getting up. As soon as he took out his mobile phone, the headline “Genius Boy Enters MIK” occupied his eyes. Zhu Jianrui moved really quickly, acquiring such a large entertainment company in just a few days.
Wearing a well-tailored and exquisitely crafted suit, he walked into the MIK headquarters building surrounded by many bodyguards.
Mr. Fang followed him hunched over, pointing to the sign hanging on the roof with one hand, and supporting the new boss’s arm with the other hand, as if he was introducing something, his face full of flattery and hospitality.
Paparazzi lurking around captured the wonderful moment and sent the photos online.
For a time, Zhu Jianrui became famous. At the tender age of fourteen, he reached the middle of China’s wealth list, competed with many adults in the business war, and quickly won with fierce means. This achievement was unique both at home and abroad.
He became famous and attracted everyone’s attention, and MIK’s stock price soared after a sharp fall. In just a few hours, it regained its lost ground and increased by 20 percentage points.
Zhu Jianrui’s net worth also doubled and he became a billionaire.
His name shone in every corner of the news pages, and he had jumped from an unknown teenager to a promising upstart in the business world.
Zhu Miaomiao, who had bought a new mobile phone, sent Zhuang Li a text message at the right time: [Did you see it? My son would be better off without you! Just admit it, you are a complete waste! It is you who were dragging down us mother and son, not us who were dragging you down!]
Zhuang Li stared at this text message and smiled with interest. He could fully imagine how happy and proud Zhu Miaomiao’s face must be when she sent this text message.
Giving birth to Zhu Jianrui was the only and most significant achievement in her life. With Zhu Jianrui’s support, all her wishes would come true. If Gong Xuanqi won the election, she could even marry into the wealthiest family in China. At that time, Zhuang Li, who once put her in an embarrassing situation, would suffer violent revenge!
Thinking like this, she pressed the keyboard hard again: [Your good days are numbered, just wait for me!]
Zhuang Li also replied seriously: [Your son’s glorious life will end before sunset, so please be patient.]
Zhu Miaomiao couldn’t sense the huge crisis hidden in this text message, so she just sneered and shut down the phone.
