After leaving the commander's tent and rushing to Nanying, Hua Meishu couldn't help but ask.
"Chen Mo, why did you accept the jade pendant? Don't you know that from the next moment, it is equivalent to choosing a camp?"
"Of course I know." Chen Mo was well aware of Huameishu's worries. "There have long been rumors that the Central Government will send someone to replace the general. In this case, our best choice is to keep a certain distance from him for the time being. After all, who
I don’t know who will come here to take charge soon, and what is his relationship with the general?”
"That's right."
Huameishu answered, and his words became sharper.
"Before you came here, you said that you wanted to develop the business into a long-term business, so why did you make such a choice when you knew that the general was about to be transferred? To be disrespectful, if the person who comes here does not deal with the general,
, then aren’t we going to suffer a big loss? Don’t talk about business then, I’m afraid it’s unknown whether you and I can escape unscathed.”
"Meishu, I have thought about everything you said, but what can I do?"
Chen Mo shook his head to dispel the remaining alcohol.
"First of all, when Hou Yong deliberately made things difficult for us, the moment we walked into the commander's house, we were actually forced to make a choice. There was Xia Fangzheng on one side and the general on the other. If we wanted to demand everything, we had to offend one of them.
.”
"Secondly, haven't you seen the deep meaning behind this jade pendant?"
"Deep meaning?"
Huameishu was stunned for a moment, thinking about it a little but still puzzled.
"Chen Mo, it seems to me that the general gave you the jade pendant for two purposes. One is to make it easier for us to move around the fortress, and the other is to deal with some people who are looking for trouble. In addition, is there any other hidden intention?
?”
"I think so." Chen Mo said after careful consideration, "Meishu, through the meal and conversation just now, we can see that the general's position is not a true peace advocate, and everything is forced to endure.
.”
"On the contrary, judging from the fact that he wants us to undertake the production of weapons, he actually really wants to use troops against Hu Xiaguo, otherwise he would not have said the two-pronged approach. To sum up, the general's purpose of taking out this jade pendant can be easily revealed.
Already."
"What exactly is it?" Huameishu asked.
"Go through the whole camp and check for any gaps." Chen Mo said firmly.
"..."
After thinking about it for a while, Huameishu suddenly realized it.
"I understand, what the general means by saying that the authorities are blind to the beholder, is to let you inspect the whole camp with an outsider's perspective. Then I will use your knowledge of forging weapons to find out the areas that need improvement."
"Yes, this is the only way to explain the general's action of giving away the jade pendant." After saying this, Chen Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that the general thinks too highly of me. How can I shoulder such a heavy responsibility?"
live?"
"Then why are you still taking it?" Hua Meishu was speechless, pretending to be angry.
"It's the same as choosing a side. You can't do it if you don't accept it."
As a last resort, Chen Mo could only explain patiently.
First of all, people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves.
Especially after offending Xia Fangzheng, he could only maintain a good relationship with Xia Houzhen.
Fortunately, compared to the former, the latter is far superior in both character and talent.
Secondly, although Xia Houzhen didn't say it, Chen Mo had already roughly seen the situation of the fortress after experiencing the previous events.
On the surface, it seems that the general is in control of everything, but in fact, he is controlled by Xia Fangzheng at every turn.
Hou Yong and Han Lie are the best examples.
Now that Chen Mo has pulled out these two nails, Xia Houzhen will certainly not let go of such a rare opportunity and will definitely take the opportunity to further suppress him.
And this requires Chen Mo's help.
Just like the weapon Chen Mo brought out, Xia Houzhen saw the dawn of turning defeat into victory. He planned to use the other party's talents and knowledge to find more tricks and flaws in Xia Fangzheng, so as to completely cut off his wings and empty his power.
This is what we say before we fight against the outside world, we must first make peace with the inside.
Finally, it is selfishness.
Whether it is from the perspective of superiors employing people or from the perspective of "cooperation", Chen Mo has to show his abilities.
Those few weapons alone are not enough.
After all, Xia Houzhen didn't see with his own eyes whether the weapon was forged by Chen Mo himself.
To take a step back, even if he believed it, what about his subordinates?
You have to let Chen Mo prove his ability.
Only in this way can we convince the public.
"There are so many intentions hidden in a jade pendant."
After listening to Chen Mo's explanation, Huameishu weakly shook his head.
When it comes to doing business, she knows most of the ins and outs.
Even if you don't understand it, you can learn it quickly.
But when it comes to machinations, your brain is not enough.
Because there is one or more layers of calculation hidden in almost every step.
Fortunately... there is Chen Mo.
How come he knows everything?
Is it natural intelligence, or is it acquired through studying?
Thinking of this, Huameishu raised his eyes and looked at Chen Mo's face carefully.
The firelight reflected on the carriage, and there seemed to be something different in the swaying movement.
That's unique to men.
It is also what women are moved by.
At this moment, Huameishu completely understood his heart.
It was also at this moment that she made a decision in her heart.
She not only wants to do business with Chen Mo, but also wants to live together.
In this life, Chen Mo will never escape from her grasp.
