It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

So some people began to back out. "I think it's actually okay. Mr. Lin, you have worked hard and made great contributions. If you talk to Mr. Xu, you can still retire normally like Du Wei, right?"

They still want to seek stability. After all, this is not a business job hopping. It seems that Lin Wenhua wants to change jobs. Following him will definitely be risky.

"There's no chance like this anymore."

Lin Wenhua smiled bitterly, "Du Wei is a slippery old man, he is a fence-sitter who changes sides easily. How can he be the same as us?"

Having said that, he knew that he once had this opportunity.

Even though he had a falling out with Xu Shi because of Jiang Fengshan's matter, if he had stopped at that time, it would have been possible for him to live out his life in peace with the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

The bad thing was that he later sent out killers, and what was worse was that not only did he fail, he was also caught by Xu Shi.

This was the beginning of the completely irreconcilable conflict between the two - even if you put yourself in his shoes, if Xu Shi sent someone to assassinate him, he would definitely not let it go.

If you yourself cannot forgive something, it is best not to expect others to be lenient with it.

Therefore, instead of dwelling on the past and regretting it, it is better to think about what you can do to earn a chance of survival, or to put it more bluntly, who is the most suitable person to switch to.

But after thinking it over, he found that things were more complicated than he had imagined.

Second- and third-rate small companies and businesses are certainly not within his consideration. Given his status and position, naturally only the six major conglomerates are of interest to him.

But here lies the problem. Where else can he go after leaving the Snake Ring? If he thinks about it carefully, he actually has no choice.

"Prism" is actually a good choice. He also knows that Xie Qingyan may not agree with Xu Shi just because of the so-called engagement.

But he didn't dare to gamble. After all, this was the honeymoon period of the cooperation between the two companies, and Lin Wenhua had to admit that he didn't have as many chips as Xu Shilai. It was difficult to guarantee that Xie Qingyan would hand him back to Xu Shilai in order not to destroy the current cooperative relationship.

"Imaginary numbers" won't work either. Not to mention that he has little intersection with the father and son of the Qi family, he also knows that Qi Maoyang had received benefits from Xu Shi some time ago.

These two, father and son, are both shrewd people, and the possibility of them taking over this hot potato is very small.

There is no need to consider the "Feather Pen". Wen Shengkui and Xu Shi have a grandfather-grandson relationship, and Jiang Fengshan's conflicts are behind. It is just as unrealistic to look for him.

Shark Teeth was a good company, but the three Hes couldn't be counted on. He Jiayuan was half dead, and the eldest and third Hes were basically being used as puppets. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were branches of Snake Ring and Prism. If they were to be found, it would just be a way to pass it on to Xu Shi... He couldn't count on the second Miss He who had no sense of existence, could he? He wasn't that stupid.

After much calculation, it seems that only "Longcheng" is left - Lin Wenhua is not aware of the subtle relationship between Xu Shi and Long Tianding. From his point of view, the two are still in the stage of being tired of each other because of the "Disger" incident.

So... the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

To be honest, Long Tianding was not an easy person to deal with, but between two evils he had to choose the lesser of two evils, and this was the only path he could take.

"Or, City Hall?"

Someone suggested tentatively.

"Shut up your ass! Don't mention City Hall to me!"

Lin Wenhua seemed to be stepped on the tail when he heard this. He glared and scolded, "Take your brain out from behind your heels and use it! Is Yue Chi the person we can rely on?"

He got angry when he talked about this. When they were at peace in the past, Yue Chizheng had taken a lot of benefits from him. He was so happy to be called brother all the time. But as soon as the wind blew, this old guy ran away faster than anyone else. Lin Wenhua wanted to tear him apart alive.

Of course, this was also because the City Hall did not have enough weight in front of the consortium - to be honest, even with the other five major consortiums, Lin Wenhua had no confidence that they could defeat Xu Shi 100%, let alone the City Hall, it was impossible.

Not to mention the girl from the Inspection Bureau, who seems to have a vague relationship with that little bastard...

Lin Wenhua never imagined that one day he would be forced into a desperate situation - there is no difference between having only one way to go and having no other way out, the thought of it made him feel really uncomfortable.

"Bring me the samples and information of the second-generation chip. I'll go talk to Long Tianding."

He sighed deeply, "Including some confidential information from the past, if I sort it out, it might come in handy."

For him, this might be the only thing to be thankful for. At least he still has some useful stuff in his hands, so it shouldn't be difficult to seek shelter with it.

But we have to race against time, otherwise by the time the chip is put on the market, its value will be greatly reduced.

"As for you...you can choose your own way. I won't force you."

After saying this, he looked at his few remaining supporters.

“…I swear to follow Elder Lin until death.”

After hesitating for a moment, his men also obeyed his decision.

It may not be that they are very loyal to Lin Wenhua, but unfortunately the old guy has a lot of leverage over them, so there is no chance for them to change their direction at this time.

Even if they were forced to leave, would Xu Shi accept them? Li Ganren's attack on Zhang Shunfei was a good precedent. I'm afraid that even if they passed, they would become the chickens killed by Xu Shi to warn the monkeys.

They have all witnessed Mr. Xu's methods, and the possibility of tolerating them is very low.

If I had known this earlier, I would have changed my allegiance in advance.

A single misstep can lead to everlasting regret, and aren't they no different?

……

"So, Master, you are forcing Lin Wenhua to betray, right?"

On the other hand, after the meeting, Su Lin returned to the office and looked at Xu Shi and asked.

"That's not an accurate term, my Miss Sulin."

Xu Shi shook his index finger. "The old man has never been loyal to me, so what's the point of talking about betrayal?"

"Of course, it's true that we should push him. It's been delayed for so long, so we should finally go for it, right?"

To be honest, from the perspective of face, his previous "warning" to Lin Wenhua in the meeting was actually not very painful - he randomly selected a few of the other party's confidants to attack, and gave them a verbal warning. This was not only a serious blow, but also did not hurt a single hair.

But listening to what is said is important, and attitude is the most important thing. Given Lin Wenhua's rank, he shouldn't be complacent about having escaped a disaster, right? I guess the old man has already started thinking about what to do next.

"For example, take the newly released chip data and go to Long Tianding to discuss terms or something."

Anyway, I have restricted him in which way to go. "Dragon City" is the only relatively good choice. However, it is not ruled out that Lin Wenhua might make other choices on a whim. But if that happens, it will be much easier. It will be easier to deal with him.

"I think it's not just the chips. Lin Wenhua has been in business for so long, he must have some other confidential data in the company."

Su Lin understood what he meant, but she couldn't help but have some concerns, "If these are really leaked out, then... "

"It doesn't have much impact. If I remember correctly, it's just some armed data from two or three generations ago?"

Xu Shi was not worried. "We have the latest part in our hands anyway. Besides, Lin Wenhua is not stupid. He will not hand over everything at once."

"I'm glad you considered it."

Su Lin didn't comment. "But I still think it would be better for me to just...get rid of it all, right?"

She made a gesture of wiping her neck.

"Isn't it easy to kill him? Keeping him alive until now must be useful, right?"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "First, I want to use Lin Wenhua to test Long Tianding's attitude. Second, I want to use him to lure out another person."

"...That's right, I didn't think it through."

Su Lin thought about it and knew that he was talking about Shen Qin - from her point of view, if Lin Wenhua really had second thoughts and betrayed her and left, it would more or less be an opportunity. It just depended on whether she was willing to seize it.

But even so, Director Su always had a feeling that even if these three joined together, they could not defeat the young master... But then he changed his mind and thought that if that was really the case, then if he could take them down together, then it would be a good thing to kill three birds with one stone.

They would even pack themselves up so that they could be cut cleanly with a sickle at any time.

"Have you figured it out? It seems you still understand me."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be the easiest to catch everything in one go? I'm most afraid of trouble."

"Of course, this is also my little bad taste."

He then added, "It's very interesting to see these people trying their best even though they know the hope is slim."

"Especially when you fail after trying your best, that would be even more interesting."

It's so boring to beat someone to death with a stick. It's more fun to torture them slowly... Xu Shi always felt that his villain thinking was becoming more and more ingrained. Oh, that's me. It's okay then.

"...You are really bad."

Su Lin sighed. She was quite familiar with the young master's bad taste. Wasn't the "Spark" played with by him in the past? It's just that the plate is bigger now, and the profit to be grabbed will be more, and the corresponding sense of accomplishment will be greater, right?

"It's not a good habit to complain about your boss so blatantly."

Xu pretended to give her a cold look and said, "Your salary is not enough to deduct."

"So Master is going to fire me?"

Su Lin didn't care about this kind of harmless threat, and even dared to refute him.

"So the master wants you to move."

Xu Shi's eyes suddenly became serious. "Give orders and say that the second-generation chip will be launched on the market soon, but don't actually launch it. Just make it look good."

"I understand."

Of course Su Lin knew that this was Xu Shi's secret means of urging Lin Wenhua to take action, but in fact it didn't make much difference whether it was really launched or not... Was this considering the promise made to Xie Qingyan before, so that the other party's "sublimation" could open up the market more smoothly?

"You have to keep your word sometimes."

Xu Shi nodded slightly. He couldn't make enemies with everyone. That would be too tiring for him. Especially considering Xie Qingyan's importance and his previous goodwill, he had already stopped putting him on the blacklist. Naturally, there was no need to go back on his promise.

"Even those people you were asked to keep an eye on before, you can't relax. A big storm is coming."

He took a deep breath and said, "Oh, I still have to look for Little Black Rabbit... By the way, wasn't she present at the previous conference? Where did she go?"

"Should he have gone to Director Wen's place?"

Su Lin thought for a moment and replied, "During the time you were away, she would go to the Feather Pen every now and then."

"…Then just go there and pick her up."

Xu Shi also remembered that he had told Gu Yi before that she should go to "Feather Pen" to learn more when she has time. It seems that she really listened to him. It turns out that she is a teachable person.

"Yes, I'll go get the car ready for you."

……

While Xu Shi was heading to the "Feather Pen", Lin Wenhua had also secretly arrived in Sin City and met Long Tianding in person.

“…Why do I feel like I’m dreaming?”

After hearing his intention, Long Tianding felt like laughing for some reason. "The famous Mr. Lin, the pillar of the Snake Ring, would come to me with company secrets one day?"

Or maybe he was more surprised by Xu Shi's foresight. He had warned him before that someone from the Snake Ring might escape to his place... Maybe Xu Shi had already arranged it? Otherwise, why didn't Lin Wenhua find someone else? Right?

"I hope that Lord Long is not making fun of me. That little bastard Xu Shi has already shit and peed on my head."

Lin Wenhua was a little unhappy when he heard this. These polite words of praise now sounded harsh to his ears...

"I have brought the conditions, and I hope City Lord Long can consider them carefully."

But he didn't dwell on it too much and got straight to the point.

"yes……"

Long Tianding did not comment, but he needed to think about it carefully.

To be honest, this is also a difficult problem. If it were just Xu Shi and Lin Wenhua, then there would actually be nothing worth considering.

but.

It turned out that Lin Wenhua was not the only one who came to see him.

"...Mr. Lin? It seems we have the same idea?"

As he was talking, another person also showed up.

"you……"

Seeing that it was her, Lin Wenhua was also stunned, "Nan Qian?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 153 No, what are you doing? ! (Angry)

Lin Wenhua was indeed a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that besides himself, someone else had already found Long Tianding.

As for why this former one of the three leaders of the "Forsaken" is also here, could it be...

"As you can see."

Shen Qin did not hide it, "My purpose of coming to see City Lord Long is similar to yours, Elder Lin?"

"...Miss Nan is also friends with City Lord Long?"

Lin Wenhua rolled his eyes, but chose to perfunctorily answer the question, "I came to see City Lord Long just to meet an old friend, but I haven't heard that among the people he knows well, there is someone like you."
