Chapter 950: Darkening
Coming out of Simmons' home, the highlight looks normal, and Smith looks normal too. However, the highlight is really normal, while Smith's normality is just fake.
After coming out of the house and getting in the car, and no longer having to maintain a calm expression, Smith finally said: "What did you mean by those last words you said to Simmons?"
"It's not interesting. It's just a joke. It's not really a joke. It's an old joke on the Internet." Smith was silent for a long time, at least five minutes. He didn't say a word during these five minutes.
Gao Guang was still worried about Smith's condition and couldn't help but said: "Are you okay?"
"I was thinking, I was already finished, everything was lost, just because I believed Senator Simmons, I regarded him as a trustworthy person, someone I could rely on, and then he only needed to use a little trick
, and killed me easily."
Sighing, Smith continued: "Then you appeared. I didn't place my hope on you. I didn't think you could help me. I thought you could do your best, and at most it was just a loan."
Give me hundreds of millions of dollars, and this is my best imagination, but I didn't expect it."
After another moment of silence, Smith said: "You told me that there was still room for improvement. You could lend me three billion U.S. dollars, and then you told me to spend two billion U.S. dollars. Later, you told me that I only needed to prepare
You can get through this difficulty with 500 million. Now, you met with Congressman Simmons, and Simmons offered to give him 1.2 billion to get back 3 billion worth of gold."
Spreading his hands, Smith said calmly: "I didn't do anything, and I don't know what you did, but the situation got better little by little. I can't believe it, but now
, what puzzles me the most is that you can still tell jokes when dealing with people like Simmons?"
After such a big detour, this is what puzzles Smith the most?
Gao Guang thought for a while, and then he said seriously: "Why, haven't you told Simmons a joke?" Smith said seriously: "Simmons tells the jokes, and I am responsible for laughing."
"When Simmons made a racist joke, I responded with a racist joke." Gao Guang said with a smile: "The point is, he can't give me what I want, but I can take away what he wants.
"
Smith took a breath and said: "What drives me is not greed, but insecurity. I want to be a congressman. It's not that I want to be in politics, but the uneasiness in my heart. I'm afraid that one day everything about me will be destroyed."
I always thought that after decades of hard work, I could easily deal with those politicians, because I saw that their jobs were not difficult.
After being silent for a while, Smith said with a wry smile: "It wasn't until today that I realized where I was wrong. I realized that I didn't understand anything at all, and I couldn't even understand the conversation between you.
"
"Well".
He wanted to comfort Smith a few words, but for Smith's sake, Gao Guang finally said: "People need to be self-aware. It's good that you understand now."
Smith said softly: "I know politicians are not trustworthy, and I know their promises are unreliable, but I feel that as long as I deliver enough benefits, I can sneak into their circle and become one of them. Now I
clear
Fuck!"
After scolding fiercely, Smith made no sound anymore. It happened that Gao Guang didn't know what to say.
It's better to forget about giving advice to Smith. There are some things. It will be too late to learn them when you are older.
You have to have the opportunity to learn something wise. Sometimes one thing goes straight to the grave.
Now there is no point in teaching Smith to figure out the meaning behind his words and how to deal with people like Congressman Simmons.
Basically, as long as Smith survives this disaster, he can settle down and be a rich man. Don't think too much about anything else, it's useless.
The car drove to Smith's home in Houston, but Smith could go home and rest, but Gao Guang could not. One of the most important things to be solved tonight was to get Eric to make up for the financial gap.
Now Gao Guang is very sure that Eric is not as innocent as he appears, so of course Eric must bear part of this loss.
Congressman Simmons and his group are the biggest profiteers, and Smith is the fat sheep who was slaughtered. So what role is Eric? Is he the one who hunts Smith with Congressman Simmons, or is he just watching Simmons do it, and
He just chose to remain silent.
If it's the former, then Eric deserves it; if it's the latter, then Eric still deserves it.
Acquiescence is connivance. Since Eric made the first move, don't blame Gao Guang for finding the situation for Smith and passing all the losses on to Eric.
If we follow the law of the jungle, then Smith is the prey, Simmons and his gang are the predators, and as for Gao Guang, his role is also a predator.
To put it in an easy-to-understand way, Smith is the unlucky guy who was robbed, Congressman Simmons is the robber, and Gao Guang’s role now is also that of a robber, rather than simply being Smith’s protector.
Congressman Simons would not think that Gao Guang was helping Smith to keep what belonged to him. He would only think that he was being taken advantage of. Gao Guang would not think so in the past, but after meeting with Congressman Simmons, he realized that Simon
After seeing how greedy and shameless a person like Smith is, he was able to understand the truth in a flash, but Smith didn't think about it at all. This was the gap between Smith and him.
With this understanding, the idea of highlighting becomes more flexible.
Since we are all black and white, why not just be black? If you want one billion, you will be a bad person, but if you want two billion, you will still be a bad person, right?
Since Eric deserves it, since he has stepped forward to take care of this matter for Smith, since he has to stand on the front desk, and since he will definitely become a mortal enemy of Congressman Simmons and his group, then why should he keep a fig leaf?
We have fought for everything and robbed everything, so let’s just play it hard.
As long as Eric still belongs to Congressman Simmons' group, he is a sworn enemy. If he is a sworn enemy, there is no need to be polite. He will do whatever he can to the death.
Gao Guang didn't know if he had become a black man, but before he met Simmons, he was still thinking about not offending Eric too much, but now, in just half an hour, he just felt that
Rick deserves it.
