Xishan Villa.

Mr. Wu looked at Xiaolian with a pale face and asked softly: "Your injury has not healed yet, so you run around."

Xiaolian smiled and said in great spirits: "In his position, I plan for the government. I want to rest, but some people don't want me to rest."

Mr. Wu picked up the teacup and said nothing.

"Why are you Yaxing here?" Xiaolian asked curiously.

Mr. Wu pondered for a while, intervened and said, "See a friend."

"The scenery here is quite good." Xiaolian said with a smile: "I will make an appointment here in the future. If I can't get a chance to have a good relationship, I'll have a good mood."

Mr. Wu inserted his palm and suddenly asked: "I was not in China some time ago, and I don't know much about the specific matters, so I want to ask you why you suddenly had to break up with Shengshi Marriott?"

Xiaolian thought carefully for a while, then looked up and replied, "For the future."

Mr. Wu listened quietly, but did not answer.

"From the short-term interests, if we are tied to Shengshi Marriott, we may get some tangible benefits, because the income of the casino cannot be underestimated." Xiaolian did not hide her own ideas, but said on the matter: "But from the long-term interests, in a few years, the dock union may be puppetized by a president. Our middle and senior management will lose their will in this environment where they are making money and let Shengshi Marriott be merciless. Because the money is divided from them... By that time, Shengshi Marriott can even control the election of the dock union, and it is possible that Shen Tianze can elect the president in just one word."

Mr. Wu frowned when he heard this.

"I'm not exaggerating." Xiaolian continued to add softly: "Shengshi Marriott has claimed to the public over the years that the dock union is a brother unit. Take a small matter as an example. When they hold an annual meeting, a large number of middle and senior executives here will be invited... These people take the money given by Shengshi Marriott and give small profits. They don't say hello to the association for some things in private, but help Shengshi Marriott do it privately. Mr. Wu, isn't this situation scary?"

Mr. Wu picked up the cigar, lowered his head and cut open the cigarette holder and said, "Do you have no selfishness?"

"I am not a saint, of course I have my own selfishness." Xiaolian said very frankly: "If I don't drive away the Marriott of Shengshi, I will always be just a puppet. Shen Tianze will use me if he is happy. If he is unhappy, he can find someone to replace me at any time. I am a woman. I may be able to protect myself when I am in power, but one day I will no longer be in this position. If something happens, who can protect me?"

"This is true." Old Wu nodded.

"I'm just telling the truth." Xiaolian continued with a very serious expression: "I have been going on elections during this period, wanting to join the municipal team and run for the government trade union **. But Shengshi Marriott has been stuck with this matter with connections. They are afraid that I will get out of control if I go up... For me, if I don't go up, I will not be able to protect myself; if I want to go up, Shengshi Marriott is stuck with me... In a dilemma, I have to tear them apart. For the dock trade union, in a few years, once our people are assimilated, this organization will become Shen Tianze's political weight, not the local organization of Xian G. At that time, I will not be able to make a comeback."

Mr. Wu thought carefully for a while: "I understand."

"Old Wu, tearing apart will definitely cause pain, but I hope we can stand on the same line and survive this level." Xiaolian clenched her fists and said, "It's better to die standing than to live on kneeling."

"Oh." Old Wu sighed: "It's not easy for you."

"...I hope you understand." Xiaolian immediately poured a cup of tea for Mr. Wu.

"I will not take the lead in causing trouble for you during this period." Mr. Wu finally stated: "You have to take the union on the right path."

"Sure!" Xiaolian focused heavily.

An hour later, Xiaolian rushed to the next elder's home and prepared to lobby for stability.

Mr. Wu sat in the stone pavilion, holding the note left by Lu Tao, thinking about something.

...

At sea, inside the freighter.

Lu Tao took the phone and asked Erpang, "How is your progress?"

"Fuck." Erpang shook his head speechlessly: "The old guys from the union are too stingy, so they won't make a statement easily. I was so dry that I just didn't respond."

"Haha, this is normal." Lu Tao replied with a smile: "The situation is still unclear, they must wait and see."

"Yes, at least on the surface, we lost in Xian G, and even sold the place where we settled." Erpang nodded and responded.

"You have to think of a trick and light a fire for the dock union," Lu Tao frowned and said, "He urged the elders to express their opinions."

"This idea is OK." Erpang and Lu Tao have similar scents. They both have the same views on many things. However, Erpang prefers to stay behind the scenes and is rarely willing to make a clear statement.

Lu Tao stood on the deck and thought for a while and said, "I'll call Oze later and discuss with him."

"Okay," Erpang nodded: "Tell me immediately if you have any letter."

"Um."

The two ended the call.

...

Wenz and Luo Jiahong returned to their residence and immediately said to Gu Xiao: "Brother, we have to change our place."

"Who is my brother?" Gu Xiao replied speechlessly: "Can you be polite to me?"

"Haha." Luo Jiahong smiled: "Okay, brother, we can't stay in Wenz anymore."

"What's wrong?" Gu Xiao asked.

"I was caught by the police in Hangz. It was Luo Jiajun who was involved."

"He vomited?"

"Yes." Luo Jiahong nodded.

"Damn it, it's too unprincipled." Gu Xiao frowned and cursed: "Who are you all arranged for?"

Luo Jiahong smiled helplessly: "Nine out of ten people who can do things for me now are for money, so it's normal to vomit."

Gu Xiao was stunned.

"You are not." Luo Jiahong said sincerely: "When you are good, there are countless friends and brothers around you, but I never dreamed that the one who was with me in the end was the latest you came."

Gu Xiao waved his hand and responded, "Come on, don't brainwash me."

"Haha." Luo Jiahong patted Gu Xiao on the shoulder: "You pack up your things, let's go to Tibet."

"OK."

Gu Xiao nodded.

After Luo Jiahong said that, he ran to the room.

...

Three days later.

On the bus entering Tibet, Gu Xiao looked down at the novel without saying a word.

Luo Jiahong yawned, looked down at his watch, turned his head and asked at the brother next to him, "Wuzi, how long will it take for us?"

"It's about seven or eight hours."

"Damn it, I'm so exhausted."

"Di Lingling!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang and Gu Xiao answered it casually: "Hey? What did you say...when did it happen?"

Luo Jiahong rarely saw Gu Xiao’s mood fluctuations so much, then turned his head to look at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Xiao waved his hand, turned his head, covered the phone receiver, and muttered to the other party for a long time before hanging up the phone with a pale face.

"What the hell is wrong?"

"...I may not be able to go to the Tibetan area." Gu Xiao frowned and said.
