Chapter 332 The Rebirth of the Phoenix

Zhang Haotian's heart has always been very complicated. He likes Xiaowei's beauty and her convex figure, and he always feels the woman's infatuation with him, and even the passion for love with her is very good. However, his brain told him that his feelings for her are different from those of Shangguan Yumei, Xia Ling'er, and Qi Jingru, and are limited to love, not love.

While looking at each other, Zhang Haotian broke the silence and smiled slightly and said, "Xiaowei, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

Xiaowei seemed to have just come back to her senses at this moment, subconsciously brushed a strand of black silk floating in front of her forehead, and then stood up, smiled and said, "I'm very good. The environment here is beautiful. When I'm fine, I often go to blow the sea breeze alone and look at the sea, and I feel much wider in my heart."

Of course, Zhang Haotian understood how he felt when facing the sea. He nodded, looked at the book on the table, and picked it up. He saw the title "Three Hundred Questions in English" written on the cover, and said happily: "Xiaowei, it turns out that you are learning English by yourself."

Xiaowei said softly, then said, "Brother Tian, ​​I have to thank you for letting me work in the Foreign Trade Department for a while. When I got there, I realized the importance of knowledge. Especially when my colleagues negotiated with foreigners, I was like an idiot, thinking that I was a waste and it was impossible for me to help you, so I secretly asked the teacher to help me tutor in English, but my foundation was too poor and I had difficulty learning. Now I can only barely understand easy words, and my pronunciation was far worse."

Zhang Haotian asked Xiaowei, Wang Bin and others to go to the Foreign Trade Department, and even asked Yu Guangzhong to arrange for them to go abroad with the company's old salesmen, in order to enrich their horizons and arouse their curiosity. While they were young, they seized the opportunity to make up for the shortcomings in the past. After this period of time, Wang Bin and other guys had improved their etiquette a lot, but they could understand no more than thirty English sentences, and they didn't usually practice hard. Unexpectedly, Xiaowei was the one who improved the fastest.

At this moment, Xiaowei suddenly remembered something and smiled embarrassedly and said, "Look at me, why do you still stand and talk? Brother Tian, ​​go sit first and taste the coffee I made."

While she was talking, she went to make coffee, and Zhang Haotian found a corner place in the store to sit down.

After a while, Xiaowei came over with two cups of coffee and sat opposite Zhang Haotian.

Zhang Haotian remembered that Xiaowei liked drinking sweet coffee, so he scooped two pieces of candy and wanted to put it in for her, but when he saw Xiaowei shook her head and said, "No, Brother Tian, ​​you can put it yourself, I like to drink bitter coffee."

Zhang Haotian was stunned for a moment, put the candy cube into his cup, and then said, "Xiaowei, when you were in Jinzi Village in the past, you seemed to like drinking sweet coffee. Why don't you put sugar now?"

Xiaowei smiled slightly and looked at the black coffee in her hand and said, "In the past, I didn't understand that real coffee should actually have bitter taste, so I had to use sugar to suppress its original taste. But now I know I'm wrong. Sweet coffee will only have bitter taste after drinking it, but bitter coffee will actually have sweet taste in the end."

When Zhang Haotian heard Xiaowei say such philosophical words, he could be said to be quite surprised. He stared at her for a long time and said, "Xiaowei, you are mature, really mature, even more mature than I thought."

Xiaowei smiled again and said, "Xiaowei in the past was a woman who didn't think about anything, but after this year's quiet, she would think of many things, life, future, and emotions. I remember a famous foreign woman said that a woman who knows how to think is a complete woman, and her soul will not be empty. I hope to be such a woman. Brother Tian, ​​do you think I should do this?"

Zhang Haotian nodded slowly and said, "Of course, I really hope that you can become a thoughtful woman. Xiaowei, I have never known whether it is right or not, so I came to see how you live. Now I understand that you should not follow me anymore, but have your own life. Such a life belongs to you."

Xiaowei looked at him, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you were wrong."

Zhang Haotian said: "Oh, I was wrong, what was wrong?"

Xiaowei took a sip of coffee and said, "Although it feels good to drink coffee, I will get tired of it after drinking too much and drinking it for a long time. I want to change to a new flavor. I am the same. I have been calm for so long and I am a little annoyed. Brother Tian, ​​do you know that I have been waiting for you here and waiting for you to ask me to do things. Xiaowei now should be able to help you more than Xiaowei in the past."

Zhang Haotian suddenly looked at her with a sharp look and said, "Xiaowei, I know you... you are very nice to me, but I don't need your efforts like this, it's not worth it."

Xiaowei looked at him with a pair of soft eyes and said, "Brother Tian, ​​I love you, I love you very much. I believe you have known it for a long time, but do you know it? What I fear most is that this will become a psychological burden on you, which will make me feel very uncomfortable."

Zhang Haotian hurriedly said, "No, how could I have a psychological burden?"

Xiaowei smiled and said, "Women are very sensitive to emotional matters. Your eyes have already told me the answer. You like me, but you don't love me, right?"

Zhang Haotian was silent. Facing Xiaowei's gaze, he had no way to lie.

Without waiting for Zhang Haotian to answer, Xiaowei smiled faintly and said, "Actually, after knowing your heart, I was in great pain. I have cried several times behind my back. Over the past year, I have not contacted you. In fact, I also want to calm down and adjust my mentality. Now I finally understand, Brother Tian, ​​I can be your subordinate, your friend, and even... I am willing to accompany you when you need it, but I don't want to be your woman because I know that I will only be more painful. Now, it's great that everyone can get along easily."

Zhang Haotian could see from Xiaowei's expression that she had indeed had a new understanding. She became much more calm and nodded.

Xiaowei continued: "Brother Tian, ​​you said you don't want me to follow you to gangsters. In fact, there is no need to worry about me. I can't tell the difference between the gangsters and the white doctrine, but I only know that you are a good person, a good person in the gangsters. If there is no good person like you in the gangsters, it will be even more chaotic and will harm the people more. White doctrine will be more polluted. I was originally a very ordinary woman, a massage woman who can spend a few hundred yuan to play with. However, if I can follow you to do something that is beneficial to others, I will not live in vain in my life..."

Speaking of this, she paused and continued, "Brother Tian, ​​do you know why I want to learn? It's because I know that you need a capable female disciple, and the wisdom that women in the underworld need exceeds force. Didn't you say that I am a fire phoenix reborn from the fire? In addition to the environment of life, my thoughts should also be reborn and become a real phoenix."

Zhang Haotian was listening to Xiaowei's words silently, and his heart was filled with surprise. He suddenly realized that Xiaowei was truly reborn at this time. Her words were becoming more and more affirmative and more confident. On the contrary, he had been thinking about emotional matters, which seemed too narrow. From the future development, he really needed female disciples, and Xiaowei was also the most suitable candidate to manage female disciples. He really didn't have to be pretentious anymore.

As soon as he thought of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaowei, then you can continue to follow me. Although the headquarters of the Wanhong Gang has Jinfeng Hall and Yinfeng Hall, there are no branches in S City. I will let you be the deputy general of Yinfeng. From now on, select some suitable sisters and you will manage and train them in case of emergencies."

Xiaowei has been in Wanhong Gang for quite some time, so of course she knows that Jin Feng and Yin Feng are in the gang.

The members of Jinfeng Hall are married women, all composed of the relatives of the members of the gang. The person who presided over is called Jinfeng Sijie, who is in Xingsi, and is on the same level as Mr. Hongqi, while Yinfeng Hall is composed of unmarried women. The person who presided over is called Yinfeng Qijie, who is in Xingsi, and is still above Mr. Jiujiang. These two halls belong to the outer hall and are incomparable to the inner hall like Guantang Zhitang.

In the past, the two tasks were mainly to take care of the food and clothing of male members of the gang, and even to take care of them when they were injured. They only rarely participate in investigations and other activities. However, now, there is no need to do anything about diet and laundry. The gang members are injured and have special medical staff, so they are not very useful. In addition, since the Wanhong Gang is a traditional gang and adheres to the concept of male superiority and female inferiority, they usually do not have the qualifications to participate in the discussion, and in fact their status in the gang is not high. Therefore, although Zhang Haotian has been to the main hall four times, he has not seen two Jinfeng Fourth Sisters and Yinfeng Seven Sisters.

The so-called Yinfeng Deputy General is aimed at the female members of Yinfeng Hall in various places. Because they are relatively scattered, Yinfeng Qijie in the headquarters cannot be managed, so they set up the Yinfeng Deputy General Management Branch, which belongs to Xingbayi and is the same as Jiujiang Old Man. However, although there are female gang members in many places, they are not specially managed. Xiaowei did not join Yinfeng Hall in the past, but she was the bronze seal master of Xingjiu. At this time, she was promoted to the level. However, according to the rules, she should go to see Yinfeng Qijie in the headquarters and go back to the hall to recognize the master.

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Brother Tian, ​​do I need to go to the headquarters to meet Sister Qi?"

Zhang Haotian immediately said "Yes" and said, "Of course I should go. Although my relationship with Pang Tongxun is very complicated now, I am still a member of the Wanhong Gang. If you become the deputy commander of Yinfeng, you must go to pay homage to the master of the headquarters. I have never seen this seventh sister yet. Please greet her for me."

Xiaowei agreed and said, "Okay, Brother Tian, ​​please contact me. I can go anytime to see if I can find out their tone and have any objections to Pang Tongxun becoming the leader."

Zhang Haotian knew that Xiaowei knew her thoughts very well, and nodded, "Although Jinfeng and Yinfeng Halls do not participate in the discussion, they are of no use, especially Jinfeng Hall. After you go, you might as well contact it. It doesn't matter if you spend some money to buy some gifts. Walk around more and explore these women, it is very useful."

Xiaowei immediately understood and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you mean that many of the people in Jinfengtang are the wives of the old man in the Gangzhong. They know a lot of news and are more valuable than those in Yinfengtang, right?"

Zhang Haotian smiled slightly and said nothing. A smart woman would not need him to give me too much guidance.

Next, both of them tried their best to avoid emotional matters and began to discuss how to form the Yinfeng Branch of S City, and their hearts became much more relaxed.

After returning from Xiaowei, Zhang Haotian called Pang Tongxun and reported to him about the establishment of the Yinfeng Branch in S City. Pang Tongxun readily agreed, but he gave Zhang Haotian a task to attack the Sanlian Gang in S City as soon as possible and restrain their strength. Zhang Haotian asked for some time to train on the grounds that he had just entered the GM new area, had not yet established a stable foothold and his members were not very motivated. Pang Tongxun naturally knew that with Zhang Haotian's current strength, he could not attack the Sanlian Gang immediately. After encouraging him, he hung up the phone.

Only one day later, a woman called Zhang Haotian and said that it was Yinfeng Qi's sister who asked Xiaowei to go to City G tomorrow, and left a mobile phone number to ask him to Xiaowei and contact him after arriving in City G.

After putting down the phone, Zhang Haotian notified Xiaowei and told her the woman's mobile phone number. He believed that with Xiaowei's current wisdom and experience, everything would be handled well when she went to City G.

In the afternoon, Zhang Haotian checked the training and life situation of his 800 subordinates in "Tianhong Villa". With Zhao Jinfeng and Jiang Yang, there was of course no problem in training. In life, three five-story dormitory buildings were enough for 800 people to live in. However, some living equipment still needs to be gradually improved, rigorous training, and a comfortable environment. This is Zhang Haotian's basic requirement.

While walking with Zhao Jinfeng and Jiang Yang on the seemingly deserted mountain, talking about some training programs and plans for the future villa, his cell phone rang in his arms and picked it up and answered it. However, it was Yu Guangzhong who called and told him that he had prepared Luo Yi's detailed information and was waiting for him in the office of the "Tianhong Hotel".

Zhang Haotian attached great importance to the candidate of the Gun Hall. He quickly asked him to wait, and then told Zhao Jinfeng and Jiang Yang that he drove down the mountain and went back.

Half an hour later, Zhang Haotian arrived at the office of the "Tianhong Hotel". Yu Guangzhong was sitting outside in the reception room. When he saw him coming back, he followed him in, then placed a stack of information on his desk and said, "Uncle Zhang, this is Luo Yi's information, you can take a look."

Zhang Haotian nodded, signaled him to sit on the sofa, and then took the stack of information and started to look carefully.

At the front of the information are two photos. One is a soldier in his twenties or thirties, with a strong figure, a national-shaped face, wearing a military uniform and a pistol. He stood next to a border marker, with his body straight, his eyes firm and strong, and he looked very majestic. The other is a middle-aged man wearing a jacket. Although his figure is still upright, his eyes have lost their sharpness, and he is even a little numb and confused. Behind him is an old factory.

These two photos are of course Luo Yi's change from youth to middle age. Seeing such changes, Zhang Haotian couldn't help but sigh. A heroic soldier gradually became an old-style employee who was tempered by life and became increasingly mediocre. The pain experienced in his heart was definitely something outsiders could not imagine.

At this moment, Zhang Haotian looked at the text information behind again, and then he realized that Yu Guangzhong's understanding of Luo Yi was not comprehensive. His excellence even exceeded his expectations. Excellent soldiers, excellent squad leader, excellent platoon leader, and all the deputy company commander. In short, he has received commendation of soldiers and low-level officers by the troops, and even made third-class merits twice. Among these excellent ones, there are military technology and military training. They can be said to be a very versatile soldier and an excellent talent. Unfortunately, they were not only not promoted in the end, but after they were discharged from the army, they were not only promoted.

He did not enter the counterpart police department, but became the head of the security department of a medium-sized state-owned electrical appliance factory. The data shows that the electrical appliance factory was half dead a few years ago. Luo Yi only received a very small basic salary. His wife was a worker in the same factory as him, but later he ran away with a Hong Kong man and left a daughter who was studying in college. With Luo Yi's salary of one or two thousand yuan, it was very difficult to raise a college student. It is no wonder that Yu Guangzhong said that he showed a little inferiority in the class reunion. Sometimes it happened to people with strong self-esteem.

Zhang Haotian originally had a try for the candidate proposed by Guangzhong, and there was no need to force himself to plan. However, after reading Luo Yi's entire information, he suddenly had a strong idea. To cheer up the man and become more prosperous, he believed that once such a person was subdued, he would be very loyal. He needed loyal and capable subordinates too much. To obtain such talents, his potential value would definitely be greater than gaining a wealthy territory.

Although he made up his mind to take Luo Yi as his subordinate, Zhang Haotian also deeply understood that it was really a very difficult technical job to ask people like Luo Yi to join the underworld willingly. Even if they go to the door with money, they would be bombarded. They must have an effective plan.

At this time, Yu Guangzhong stood up, looked at Zhang Haotian staring at Luo Yi's mighty soldier photo, and walked to his desk, sighed and said, "Uncle Zhang, it is really difficult to persuade Luo Yi to join us. In fact, after knowing his situation, I gave him money, but he returned it to me intact. Instead, I spent money to treat me to a drink. Thanks to me, my friend, and said that he could survive. If I give him money, he would invite me to have another drink. His little money can invite a few meals, so I never had this idea again. It was just last time you said you needed an excellent soldier, so you mentioned him inadvertently."

Listening to Yu Guangzhong's words, Zhang Haotian suddenly felt a sense of respect for Luo Yi, and nodded slowly and said, "This Brother Luo is a little stubborn, but he is a man worthy of admiration. Brother Yu, you are his friend. I want to ask you, if Brother Luo joins us, do you think it is a pro or a disadvantage for him?"

Yu Guangzhong was silent for a while and said, "With Luo Yi's character, it is certainly more enjoyable to join us, but with the education he received, he will definitely feel guilty. The pros and cons should be similar."

Zhang Haotian smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "No, Brother Yu, you have forgotten the most important point, that is, I will let him change the current environment so that he can regain his own brilliance from mediocrity, so that he can be proud in front of his acquaintances. The feeling of glory is what an ambition man needs, and I believe this Brother Luo will be no exception."

Yu Guangzhong said "Hmm" and said, "You make sense, but how can you get Luo Yi to join us is a difficult problem. He is very stubborn and feels that it is a bit harder now, but he can still survive and there is almost no possibility of being convinced."

Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "I know this, Brother Yu, go and do your business, let me think about it carefully."

Yu Guangzhong agreed and walked out.

When Yu Guangzhong left, Zhang Haotian took out a cigarette and lit it, leaned on the sofa, sucking and thinking hard. His habit was that when things could not be solved, he would always think about some things that happened in history and borrow the wisdom and experience of the ancients to make up for his shortcomings. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a group of people, a group of people with great fame but similar nature to him, that is, the heroes of Liangshanbo.

When he was in junior high school, Zhang Haotian particularly liked the story of "Water Margin". The plot of eating meat and drinking big bowls in it often made him excited and even had a certain impact on his current personality. He had carefully read "Water Margin" at least three times and knew that there was a widely circulated saying called "Forcing to Liangshan". The word "Forcing" has two meanings. One is those heroes, like Lin Chong, who were forced by the court and the officers and soldiers, and went to Liangshan.

There is another type of person, which is represented by Lu Junyi. These people have all their abilities, but at first they looked down on the so-called "Liangshan bandits" and were unwilling to belong to the banner of "doing the way for heaven". However, they were designed by Liangshan people and deceived them, and even had the idea of ​​killing their relatives, and they were filial to their relatives, and they were unwilling to travel far. The righteousness of Liangshan has been passed down through the ages, but they had to gather brothers with different backgrounds, different identities, and different environments under the "Yi". It would be impossible not to know flexible methods.
