Chapter 110 The Battle for Number One Spot
Ten minutes later, the matter was settled.
She kept an eye on Deng Wenwen for us, and if Deng Wenwen was about to make a move against us, she would let us know in advance so that we could be prepared.
As for us, we will be her support. If she ever wants to get rid of Deng Wenwen, we will help her remove the restrictions that Deng Wenwen placed on her.
She contacted us through Aunt Xiao, precisely because of this.
"By the way, Zhao Jing'er and Deng Wenwen don't get along!"
After they finished talking, Gong Ziyi seemed to remember something and said this.
"What do you mean they don't get along?" Fatty Lin asked, feigning ignorance.
Compared to Long Nier, Fatty Lin's acting skills are far inferior.
Gong Ziyi glanced at him, clearly seeing through his act, but didn't expose him. After a light laugh, she said, "Ever since Zhao Jing'er hooked up with that guy from the south and got her endorsement, her status in the organization has risen skyrocketed, and she's now on par with Deng Wenwen!"
"organize?"
Fatty Lin continued to pretend.
"Big eyes, the Dark Society!" Gong Ziyi said.
"I've heard of this organization before, but I always thought it was just a rumor. It actually exists?" Fatty Lin said in surprise.
I was so embarrassed I wanted to scratch my toes. The reason was simple: Fatty Lin's acting was terrible.
After finding Longyu, Master Liu talked to us about organizations like the Dark Society and even gave us a rundown of the major international organizations.
In this, Master Liu emphasized the Dark Society.
The Dark Organization has branches in major countries. Their goal is simple: to control the world and act as a shadow government.
This theme is similar to Deng Wenwen's scheme to trick us into becoming some kind of underground godfather.
Besides the underworld, there are various foundations of all sizes in the West. Regardless of their purpose, these foundations have one thing in common: they control our minds.
For example, the major international film festivals.
Why would a film depicting the backward aspects of our country win an award? The shady dealings involved are obvious.
And what about the so-called sixth generation of directors in China? Who provided them with funding for their films, and who helped them expand their reach and promote their films internationally?
When we were talking, I briefly mentioned the Xiong'an New Area development plan.
Master Liu said that the "de-Xiong" plan is only a small part of this massive ideological infiltration plan.
The higher-ups know many things, but that's the price of openness.
To put it bluntly, we're too poor. If we want to develop, we have to allow certain things to come in.
"How could it be just a rumor?" Gong Ziyi shook her head, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
There was envy, fear, and a hint of jealousy in it.
"Are Deng Wenwen and Zhao Jing'er members?" I asked.
"right!"
Gong Ziyi nodded.
"Sister Purple Robe, is that you?" Long Nier asked, feigning wariness.
The way Gong Ziyi was addressed changed from "sister" to "Sister Ziyi".
"no!"
Gong Ziyi shook her head.
"I knew Sister Purple Robe couldn't join such an evil organization!" Long Nier breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ni'er, I'm not lying to you, there was a time when I really wanted to join!" Gong Ziyi said.
"Why?" Long Nier asked.
"I made a lot of efforts during that time, including joining the underworld, in order to get resources and get rid of Deng Wenwen!" Gong Ziyi said.
"Then why didn't you join later?" I asked.
"It's very simple. First, Deng Wenwen doesn't want me to join and keeps creating obstacles for me. She's afraid that I'll be like Zhao Jing'er and one day surpass her in status after joining!" Gong Ziyi said coldly.
I glanced at her but didn't say anything.
To put it bluntly, Deng Wenwen knew that Zhao Jing'er had no bottom line and would do anything to climb the social ladder. Once such a person joined the organization, she would inevitably pose a threat to her.
"Secondly, the membership requirements are too stringent; I find them a bit unacceptable!"
At this point, a flicker of fear crossed Gong Ziyi's eyes as she said, "I simply cannot bring myself to eat my own child!"
"Has Zhao Jing'er eaten?" Fatty Lin asked.
"She joined!"
Gong Ziyi did not answer directly, but instead replied with these four words.
"Grass!"
Fatty Lin cursed under his breath.
"After Zhao Jing'er joined the organization, she worked hard to climb the ranks. I heard from Deng Wenwen that she completed several tasks within the organization in the past two years. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to climb so quickly!" Gong Ziyi said.
"What mission did she complete?" I asked in a cold voice.
"Through the big shot she hooked up with, she handed over the designs of many landmark buildings in Shenzhen to people from Japan. With these designs, the Japanese built many buildings in Shenzhen that are detrimental to our country's fortune!" Gong Ziyi said.
When she said that, I was reminded of the Sabre Building in Lujiazui, Shanghai.
"Thanks to these achievements, Zhao Jing'er's status within the organization has risen rapidly. At the same time, Deng Wenwen's plans have been thwarted by you. With one rising and the other falling, Deng Wenwen's initial advantage has naturally been wiped out!" Gong Ziyi said with a hint of sarcasm.
That doesn't surprise me.
The so-called "no party within the party" mentality leads to imperialistic thinking; the "no factions within the party" mentality leads to all sorts of strange and bizarre phenomena.
Deng Wenwen and Zhao Jing'er both want to be the heads of the domestic branches, so how could they possibly combine their efforts?
There's a saying that goes something like this: heretics are more hateful than pagans.
In dealing with heretics, they can even cooperate with infidels.
What Gong Ziyi said was basically implying that Deng Wenwen could cooperate with us in dealing with Zhao Jing'er!
"Is Deng Wenwen just going to let it go like that?"
I probed.
"If we just let it go like this, she wouldn't be complaining to me anymore!" Gong Ziyi glanced at us and said, "Who knows, maybe one day she'll team up with you to deal with Zhao Jing'er!"
As expected, Deng Wenwen was indeed interested in cooperating with us.
"We'll see when the time comes!"
Lin the Fat and I exchanged a glance, not wanting to make any definitive statements.
"So, is our cooperation settled for now?" Gong Ziyi said.
"It's settled!" I nodded.
Gong Ziyi smiled charmingly and extended her hand to me. Before I could shake it, Long Nier grabbed her hand.
"Ni'er, you're keeping a close eye on men too much!" Gong Ziyi teased.
"Who can blame us when you're so charming, Sister Purple Robe!" Long Nier said.
"Ni'er, you really know how to talk!" Gong Ziyi laughed.
As soon as they came out of the private room, Aunt Xiao greeted them with a smile, "How did it go? Did you reach an agreement?"
"Sister, with your face on our side, we have to make it right, even if it's not appropriate!" Long Nier stepped forward affectionately and hugged Aunt Xiao's arm.
"Little girl, your mouth is as sweet as honey!"
Aunt Xiao pinched Long Ni'er's little face and let out her signature big laugh.
We had a blast that night.
No, I misspoke. It was Fatty Lin who was having a blast.
Long Nier and I played until the early hours of the morning before returning to the clinic, while Fatty Lin returned after dawn.
After returning, Fatty Lin wanted to catch up on his sleep, but before noon, Ye Yingzi called and said that Xia Wen had a health problem and wanted him to go to the hospital with her to give Xia Wen acupuncture.
