Chapter 1003: Facing yourself

When Cao Ziyi returned to Zhao Tiezhu's room, she had an extra drawing board on her hand. Zhao Tiezhu looked at Cao Ziyi in surprise and said, "Ziyi, don't you really want to draw for me, do you?"

"Of course." Cao Ziyi nodded with a smile and said, "We have nothing to do anyway."

"This... if you want to have something to do, you can do something to do." Zhao Tiezhu said shyly.

"for example?"

"For example, talk about life, talk about ideals, and study mechanics and piston movements. Anyway, there are still many things that can be done in the room!" Zhao Tiezhu said.

"Haha." Cao Ziyi smiled, and did not take Zhao Tiezhu's words, but instead set up the drawing board on his own, and then sat in front of the drawing board with several pencils.

"Do I want to put on makeup first?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

"No need, I'll sketch." Cao Ziyi said, and started moving on the drawing board.

Zhao Tiezhu looked a little at a loss for a moment.

"Brother Tiezhu, I'm going to go to class!" Li Ling'er pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Zhao Tiezhu sitting on the bed with a tangled look on his face, while Cao Ziyi was sitting in front of the drawing board, and said in surprise, "Brother Tiezhu, what are you doing?"

"Ziyi said she wanted to draw for me." Zhao Tiezhu said shyly.

"Oh, it's so romantic!" Li Ling'er looked at Zhao Tiezhu enviously, "Isn't this the plot in the Titanic? Jack has also painted Ross!"

"I'm painting a painting that takes off the bar. Can I compare with me?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

"But the essence is still the same!" Li Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Didn't anyone say these days that you should learn from Chen Guanxi in life and bring a camera when you enter the house. Brother Tiezhu, you are more retro, just use sketches, hehe."

"Ling'er, I find you are getting bolder!" Zhao Tiezhu looked at Li Ling'er with a squinted look and said, "Believe it or not, my buddy, have you done what Teacher Chen likes to do to you now?"

"Oh, then I'd better not to do it. Brother Tiezhu, be romantic with Sister Ziyi. I'm going to go to class!" Li Ling'er chuckled and left Zhao Tiezhu's room. Zhao Tiezhu sat helplessly on the bed, leaning his back against the wall.

"What agreement did you reach with the bandits yesterday?" Cao Ziyi asked suddenly.

"It's nothing. He just wanted to get goods from me and entered the sh. He originally planned to give me some things to exchange, but I didn't ask for his stuff and directly asked him to get goods from me for free." Zhao Tiezhu said.

Cao Ziyi smiled and said, "It's done well. A route of goods is exchanged for favors from the Southern Underworld Kings. This is a very cost-effective account."

"Of course." Zhao Tiezhu smiled proudly, "To be honest, I am no longer short of money. Every day, my industry is not an exaggeration to make money every day, so why do you need such a little thing? Seriousness is to confirm his favor. If there is anything at that time, maybe I can still pull out the banner of bandits to scare others. How great is that."

"But, bandits are not simple people," said Cao Ziyi. "When you are dating him, you must not underestimate him."

"Just, I despise no one to despise him!" Zhao Tiezhu said seriously, "Being able to kill and escape from the nose of the National Security Bureau is a great skill in itself. You can still make a fortune abroad and even build a large territory. This is simply something that only gods can do. I admire bandits very much."

"Well, the Northeast King Zhao Baobao is becoming more and more restless now. Mr. Zhao hopes that you can stabilize your position in the south and it is best to expand your snobbery outward. As long as you expand to strong enough, you can balance each other with Zhao Baobao in the north. In this way, the arrogance of those in the Zhao family who rely on Zhao Baobao's snobbery will not be as arrogant as they are now."

"Try hard." Zhao Tiezhu sighed, "I am still in one province now. The underworld is not in ancient times, and I can rule the south and the north at any time. Nowadays, playing underworld is more about resources and background, and the government will not sit idly by and watch me grow bigger. My current pressure comes from many aspects. In the south, bandits will definitely not let me grow to a level that threatens him. Although we cooperate well now, he still owe me favors. When I can really threaten him, he will definitely not be ruthless! And in the north, there is pressure from Zhao Baobao, and Zhao Baobao is not stupid x

, He would definitely know what Mr. Zhao thought, so I can be sure that Zhao Baobao now will definitely find a way to curb or even erase my Blood Soul Hall. Zhao Kunlun in the previous stage was just Zhao Baobao's first step to test me. There will definitely be a second move later, and Qian Sun, Li Zhou and others. These can put pressure on me. After all, I was driven out of China by them. If I become bigger and stronger, the first enemy will be them. No one can sit by and watch me develop without caring about it. I think it is really sad. It seems that I have offended all the powerful people in China who have offended me all!"

"But you also have an advantage," Cao Ziyi said, "Your advantage is that you can face yourself more than anyone else!"

"That's all the time, I always felt that I was just an ordinary person. At best, I was lucky and worked harder, and then I got everything I have now. But these things are all empty. People only sleep in a bed, and only a few square meters after death. If I treat myself too much as a thing, it's really not a thing."

"You have the greatest advantage!" Cao Ziyi said seriously, "There are many people who support you, Mr. Zhao, Emperor Zhang Yizhao, and uncles and aunts. The support of Mr. Zhao alone is enough to calm down most people. As long as you are alive, no one dares to tear you up with you head-on, and no one has the courage to challenge Mr. Zhao's bottom line. The consequences of Mr. Zhao's anger, in China, no one can fully bear it!"

"That's right." Zhao Tiezhu smiled proudly, "Our old Zhao family has always produced romantic figures."

"Do you also include?" Cao Ziyi asked with a smile.

"Of course, counting the romantic figures, it's still up to date!" Zhao Tiezhu stretched and said to Cao Ziyi, "What, have you painted it?"

"Okay." Cao Ziyi nodded, took the drawing paper off the drawing board and handed it to Zhao Tiezhu.

Zhao Tiezhu saw it and said in surprise, "This... what is this thing? Why does it look so much like a turtle?"

"This is Xuanwu." Cao Ziyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled, "I'm an abstract painting."
