877: Chapter 57: The Wind Rises at Nanhua 8_2 877: Chapter 57: The Wind Rises at Nanhua 8_2 Geweil found for the first time that there were things in this world even more shameless than himself.

They were already drowning, desperately calling for help, and Cheng Daqi not only didn’t lend a hand but was loudly cheering them on.

There’s a certain kind of beauty in ‘renting out an idle villa and driving for a rideshare service.’

“You are the actual controller of BEC, Chan, you just admit it, right!”

Geweil glared at Cheng Daqi, trying through his questioning to get an answer for himself.

If you can’t play the game, you’re getting clingy.

“I’m the actual controller?

Will, I must say, you really have a sense of humor.”

Cheng Daqi had long wanted to step into the spotlight, of course, that ‘spotlight’ is relative – at least to Niusen, he had already stepped into it, but to those unsuspecting onlookers, he was still a small-time player, not quite a big shot.

However, he would not admit to anything under Geweil’s interrogation.

“If you don’t give us an explanation…

Chan, you know who ‘us’ refers to, we have our people on Capitol Hill, understand?

If you don’t offer us an explanation or compensation, then New Era’s transition to a non-profit organization will never get through the California Senate hurdle!

In California, there’s nothing I, Geweil, want to do that can’t be done!”

To tell the truth, Cheng Daqi was a little disappointed—it was another half hour wasted.

He had understood that Niusen sending Geweil was never meant to result in an outcome, just a probe.

“Roll out, go back and tell your brother, it’s not me begging him to handle New Era’s affairs, if he still wants to be friends, then he better hurry up and fix it.”

Looking at Geweil’s face of disbelief, Cheng Daqi revealed a satisfied smile.

But in Geweil’s eyes, it was as if a wild beast was baring its fangs.

“Of course, if you guys from the California Clique are confident in yourselves, we can have a slow battle, with so many people in the California Senate, I don’t believe they are all your men!”

Geweil’s mind was spinning fast, completely blindsided by Cheng Daqi’s arrogant stance, he spoke with difficulty, lacking the earlier braggadocio of ‘there’s nothing I, Geweil, want to do that can’t be done.’

“Chan, what are you implying?”

Cheng Daqi leaned back, resting on the back of his chair, finding a comfortable position and replied with a smile.

“Will, you know what, I hate idiots wasting my time.”

“I mean, you can roll out, just remember to pass on the message.”

Geweil couldn’t accept Cheng Daqi’s attitude towards him and questioned subconsciously.

“You want to turn against our California Clique?

Chan, don’t play with fire!”

Cheng saw Riel standing behind Geweil, gestured to this heavyweight ‘buff’ little gold statue not to take action yet, and then started to explain to the fool.

“Shabi, your brother only sent you to test me because he still doesn’t know me well, that’s why he had you come to test me.

I’ve given you an answer, understand, that’s enough.”

Geweil didn’t bring any specific or deep conditions, Cheng Daqi was very clear, it wasn’t that Niusen had no sincerity, but rather the Governor was too clever—letting the younger brother test the waters first.

“An answer?”

Geweil murmured unclearly, and soon, as if he had realized something, he looked at Cheng Daqi in amazement.

“So, you are the actual controller of BEC, aren’t you?”

Seeing Cheng Daqi still didn’t answer, Geweil took it as an admission.

“Chan, we are friends, you don’t need to go this far, you don’t know what you’re about to face!”

By now, Geweil still didn’t understand the situation.

In his view, he had screwed up the investment, but it could still be salvaged, and as long as it was salvaged, the problem wouldn’t be too serious.

But if Cheng Daqi’s greed led to an intense struggle, his failure in investment would become particularly notable, and the stance he had shown in front of Niusen was also based on this consideration.

Therefore, Geweil’s reminder at this moment was both due to stupidity and self-serving reasons, the only unrelated factor being the ‘acquaintanceship’ between him and Cheng Daqi and the others.

Facing Geweil’s cluelessness, Cheng Daqi hesitated for a moment, considering whether to make things explicit.

“Will, the California Clique can do whatever it wants, your brother can do whatever he wants, I’m not too afraid of your threats, is that clear enough for you now?”

“You are asking for death!” responded Geweil subconsciously.

“Yeah, so how come I’m still alive and kicking?”

Cheng Daqi spread his hands, indicating that he was still alive.

Because he was so emotional, Geweil felt a tickle in his throat.

Cheng Daqi had made it too clear, and there was no room left for Geweil to feign ignorance.

Geweil was fully aware of Cheng Daqi’s attitude, which left him immensely dejected.

Anger was absent because he now understood that he was the one who had been set up.

Right now, anger was futile, and the problem had to be resolved one way or another.

“Can’t we just take a step back each?”

“Look, Will, you just have to pass on a message, don’t waste my time like a child anymore, okay?”

Each taking a step back and both winning seems good – Niusen wouldn’t go bankrupt, and Daqi’s New Era could smoothly transition to a non-profit entity.

But…

the situation Daqi faced was incredibly complex.

A person can’t exist in isolation within organizational relationships.

As a leader of a new power, Daqi has to look after multidimensional interests.

Pulling strength from his supporters and gaining benefits from the collective force, he needs to be responsible for certain demands of these supporters.
