Hearing Zhao Wuyan's voice, Zhao Yan immediately rushed forward in surprise.
Fang Rui also subconsciously prepared to get out of bed, but Zhao Wuyan stopped him.
"Xiao Fang, what are you doing?! The injury hasn't fully healed yet, so you just lay down on the bed!"
Zhao Wuyan frowned and expressed concern, as if he was blaming his elders for his offspring.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for your concern. I'm in good physical condition. I have some skin injuries, but they won't be a problem."
Fang Rui responded with some discomfort.
"how?!"
Zhao Wuyan noticed Fang Rui's abnormality and pretended to be angry with a straight face:
"You can call me Uncle Zhao, but I can't call you Xiao Fang? Do you want me to continue to respectfully call you Gang Leader Fang?"
"Don't dare, don't dare... As long as you call me Uncle Zhao smoothly, it will be the same no matter what you call me, it's just a code name."
"Then you..." Zhao Wuyan wanted to take the opportunity to train Fang Rui again, but was interrupted by Zhao Yan who couldn't stand it:
"Dad, what are you doing? You know he's injured, so why are you so cruel to him?"
"I...did I hurt him?"
"Then why are you keeping a straight face?"
"I..." Zhao Wuyan was speechless by Zhao Yan, and could only shake his head helplessly and sighed:
"They say girls can't get into college! Now they're still at home, and they've started to bend their elbows outward!"
"Dad, what did you say?!" Zhao Yan, who heard what Zhao Wuyan meant, instantly turned her face into a red apple.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"You...you...you..." Zhao Yan wanted to defend herself, but for some reason, after noticing that Fang Rui had also cast his gaze over, she suddenly stuttered and couldn't speak.
He had no choice but to turn around in embarrassment and run away:
"I'll go to the kitchen to make some food and bring it over."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this girl has completely fallen, right?" Zhao Wuyan looked at Zhao Yan's leaving figure and sighed a little lonely.
"I'm not sure what you are talking about, Uncle Zhao..."
"Don't pretend to be stupid for me, I know you are smart."
"No matter how smart I am, I'm only eighteen years old..."
"Hey, my Yan'er is only seventeen years old. Have you been wronged?!"
"I mean, I'm still young and don't really understand this."
"You fart, your words are okay to deceive a little girl, but they are of no use to me!" Zhao Wuyan rolled his eyes speechlessly, and sighed with a look of memory on his face:
"I think back then, when I was fifteen years old and still a slender and beautiful boy, the girl you fooled with your words could go around the entire twenty-fourth district three times. So, why don't you use such a lame excuse to frustrate me?
!”
"Um..." Looking at Zhao Wuyan who was letting himself go, Fang Rui raised his eyebrows speechlessly, and said with common sense:
"Uncle Zhao, you seem a little different today..."
"You want to ask me why I stopped pretending, right?" Zhao Wuyan directly said what Fang Rui didn't dare to ask.
"Is it so straightforward?" Fang Rui was stunned, a little confused as to what Zhao Wuyan was doing.
"Of course it has to be so straightforward, Xiao Fang, remember, if you want to accept an outsider as one of your own, then you have to learn to take the initiative to take off the disguise."
"You mean, you want to take me as one of your own? But you are the city leader of the twenty-fourth district, and I am the leader of the Hongye Gang. One of us is an official and the other is a gangster..." Fang Rui heard Zhao Wuyan's words.
The implication.
"Do you think Uncle Zhao is not qualified to be your partner?"
"No." Fang Rui shook his head and said frankly:
"To be honest, among the city lords in this nearby city, you should be the strongest in terms of ability and strength. If you are not qualified, then I am overestimating myself."
"Really? Do you have such confidence in me?" Zhao Wuyan's eyes twitched unconsciously, as if he did not expect Fang Rui to give him such a high evaluation.
"I just unconditionally trust the evaluation given by Uncle Lin." Fang Rui, who sensed a hint of crisis, decisively passed the blame to Uncle Lin.
"Damn it, that old guy is the real old fox. I'm exhausted from dealing with him." Upon hearing the name "Lin Bo", Zhao Wuyan's face was immediately filled with resentment.
Obviously he must have suffered a lot of losses under Lin Bo.
"It's not convenient for me to participate in this discussion. He is my elder and the biggest contributor to the development of Hongye Gang to its current scale."
"Understood, if possible, I don't want to talk about that old fox." Zhao Wuyan waved his hand in understanding, and then returned to the topic:
"Since you also recognize your uncle Zhao and my abilities, let's talk about our affairs seriously now. Don't treat me like a fool and keep talking vaguely. Let's talk about something real."
"Okay, tell me what you want to talk about..." Fang Rui nodded seriously.
"Then let me tell you bluntly, I have seen all the calculations you made against Xu Bufan in District 24 this time. Although I don't know why you bothered to play with him, it is undeniable that you kid
He is indeed a talent and I admire him very much.”
"Actually, it's not unnecessary..."
"No need to explain. I respect your secrets. You don't need to tell secrets that have nothing to do with my interests. I may not believe you if you tell me."
"Okay, then you continue."
"I admire you very much, and Yan'er also likes you very much. If possible, I hope to bring you two together, but judging from your behavior just now, you probably won't be happy with it, so I simply skipped the marriage.
Anyway, I am not very happy to let my daughter get married."
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for understanding." Fang Rui couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He had to admit that Zhao Wuyan was very good at social interaction.
He was originally very defensive in his heart, but after Zhao Wuyan's simple words, he felt inexplicably relaxed and became a little closer to Zhao Wuyan unconsciously.
"Anyway, if we don't marry, it won't affect the further sincere cooperation between our two forces. Right?"
"Well? Uncle Zhao, if you want to talk about cooperation with the Hongye Gang, shouldn't you talk to Uncle Lin? There are specialties in the art industry, so it's not appropriate for you to talk to me about cooperation."
Even though we are close, Fang Rui still has his sensitivity when it comes to sensitive topics.
"No, no, no, he can't be the master of this matter. You have to be the leader of the gang."
"It's impossible. In our Hongye Gang, Uncle Lin is more useful than me in talking."
"I know. I used to think that the Hongye Gang actually belongs to Uncle Lin. You are just a nominal gang leader. Any matters related to the Hongye Gang can be discussed with him. But I wanted to talk to him on the phone this morning.
When it came to this cooperation, I was clearly told that this cooperation must be negotiated with you!"
"So what does this cooperation mean?" Fang Rui's curiosity was aroused.
He was really curious about what kind of cooperation Lin Bo couldn't make the decision and had to do it.
"Incorporate the Hongye Gang into the 24th District and become our non-staff force in the 24th District."
