Chapter 950 Darkening
Coming out of Simmons' house, Gao Guang looked normal, and Smith also looked normal. But Gao Guang was really normal, while Smith's normality was fake.
After coming out of the house and getting in the car, Smith finally said, "What did you say to Simmons at the end? What did you mean?"
"It didn't mean anything. I just told a joke. Actually, it's not 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 ask: "Are you okay?"
"I was thinking, I was finished, everything was gone, just because I believed in Senator Simmons, I regarded him as someone I could trust, someone I could rely on, and then he only needed to use a small trick to easily kill me."
Smith sighed and continued: "Then, you appeared, I didn't put my hope on you, I didn't think you could help me, I thought you could do the best, at most you could lend me a few hundred million dollars, and this was my best imagination, but I didn't expect"
After another silence, Smith said: "Tell me My situation can still be saved. You can lend me $3 billion, and then you tell me that I only need to spend $2 billion. Later, you told me that I only need to prepare $500 million to get through this difficult time. Now, you met with Senator Simmons, and Simmons took the initiative to say that he could get back $3 billion worth of gold by giving him $1.2 billion. "
Spreading his hands, Smith said calmly: "I didn't do anything, and I don't know what you did, but the situation has improved little by little. I can't believe how good it is. But now, what confuses me most is that you can still tell jokes when dealing with people like Simmons?"
After such a big detour, Smith is most confused about this?
Gao Guang thought for a moment, and then he said seriously: "Why, haven't you told Simmons a joke?" Smith said seriously: "Simmons is the one who tells the jokes, and I'm responsible for laughing."
"When Simmons made a racist joke, I made a racist joke back." Gao Guang laughed: "The point is, he can't give me what I want, but I can take away what he wants."
Smith exhaled and said: "What drives me upward is not greed, but insecurity. I want to be a congressman, not because I want to go into politics, but because of my inner uneasiness. I am afraid that one day everything I have will be taken away by others. I have always thought that I have worked hard for decades and can easily deal with those politicians, because I don't think their work is difficult.
After a long silence, Smith smiled bitterly and said: "It was not until today that I realized where I was wrong. I realized that I didn't know anything at all. I couldn't even understand the conversation between you."
"Uh".
I wanted to comfort Smith, but for Smith's sake, Gao Guang finally said: "It is important for people to know themselves. Now you understand it. "
Smith said softly: "I know politicians are not trustworthy, and I know their promises are unreliable, but I think that as long as I deliver enough benefits, I can get into their circle and become one of them. Now I understand
Fuck! "
After a vicious curse, Smith was silent. Gao Guang didn't know what to say.
Forget about instructing Smith. Some things are too late to learn when you are older.
You need to have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes. Sometimes one thing will directly lead to your grave.
Now it is meaningless to teach Smith to figure out the meaning behind the words and how to deal with people like Senator Simmons.
Basically, as long as Smith survives this disaster, he can be a rich man and don't think too much about other things. It's useless to think about it.
The car drove to Smith's home in Houston, but Smith could go home and rest, but Gao Guang couldn't. There is one most important thing to solve tonight, that is, Eric has to make up the funding gap.
Now Gao Guang is very sure that Eric is not as innocent as he appears, so With this loss, of course Eric has to bear part of it.
Congressman Simmons and his gang are the biggest beneficiaries, and Smith is the fat sheep being slaughtered. So what is Eric's role? Is he the one who hunted Smith together with Congressman Simmons, or is he just watching Simmons do it and he just chose to remain silent?
If it is the former, then Eric deserves it. If it is the latter, then Eric still deserves it.
Acquiescence is connivance. Since Eric took the first step, don't blame Gao Guang for getting this place back for Smith, and by the way, he has to transfer all the losses to Eric.
If we follow the law of the jungle, then Smith is the prey, Simmons and his gang are the predators, and Gao Guang, his role is also the predator.
To put it in a more understandable way, Smith is the unlucky guy who was robbed, Congressman Simmons is the robber, and Gao Guang's role now is also the robber, not as simple as Smith's protector.
Congressman Simmons would not think that Gao Guang was helping Smith keep what belonged to him. He would only think that he was being robbed. Gao Guang would not think so before, but after meeting with Congressman Simmons, and realizing the greed and shamelessness of people like Simmons, Gao Guang could instantly figure out the truth, but Smith did not think about it at all. This is the difference between Smith and him.
With this understanding, Gao Guang's thinking is more active.
Since it is all robbing, why not just robbing to the end? If you want 1 billion, you are a bad guy. If you want 2 billion, you are still a bad guy, right?
Since Eric deserves it, since he has stepped forward to take the responsibility for Smith, since he has to stand in the front, since he is bound to become a mortal enemy with Congressman Simmons's faction, why bother to keep a fig leaf?
We have already fought and robbed, so why not just play hard.
As long as Eric still belongs to Congressman Simmons's faction, he is a mortal enemy. If he is a mortal enemy, there is no need to be polite. He will be killed and get as much as he can.
Gao Guang didn't know if he was a black person, 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 Eric deserved it.
This should be black, but it's a thick black black.
