Zou Bai replied indifferently, “Why not? He’s so free and energetic. Wouldn’t it be better for him to go to Sand Mountain to help the forestry workers do some work?”
Jiang An did not think much of it. “He’s just a five-year-old child. Those employees can’t really make him do anything, right?”
Zou Bai looked at Jiang An and asked, “Then who do you think is at fault for knowing how to bully others at such a young age?”
Jiang An replied, “His parents, of course. They didn’t discipline him well.”
Zou Bai nodded in agreement and mentioned Li Gang again. “What’s your impression of Li Gang?”
Jiang An recalled Li Gang’s behavior just now. After more than ten seconds, she replied, “He looks like a very refined scholar, and he’s gentle and polite. However, he spoils his children a little. I think their family is an old couple. Is this wife his first wife or his second wife?”
Zou Bai pulled Jiang An back to the recliner and chatted. “He’s indeed remarried. That woman was a mistress. Li Gang is timid and cautious. He likes power and money very much. He’s selfish and a sanctimonious hypocrite.”
When Jiang An heard this answer, she was a little surprised. “You know him very well? But it didn’t seem like you two are very familiar with each other.”
Zou Bai turned to look at Jiang An. “We’re not very close, but it doesn’t stop me from understanding him.”
“Did you hear him mention the eastern suburbs of Lin City just now? That’s a big project that the Lin City government is going to focus on developing. Although he stands with the Zou family, I’m still used to doing background checks on relevant people before making a decision.”
Jiang An nodded in understanding and teased with a smile, “I was wondering why you know so much about unfamiliar people when you’re so busy every day.”
Jiang An suddenly thought of her question just now. “He’s a very selfish person. So you mean that he’ll think of a way to make Little Yuan suffer less and play tricks with you?”
When Zou Bai heard Jiang An’s answer, he frowned slightly and looked at her helplessly. “There are so many keywords, but you only listened to one.”
“Not only will Li Gang not play tricks with me, but he will also accept his punishment. He still wants to make a comeback and won’t miss any opportunity to show his loyalty. To extremely selfish people, their own interests are always the most important.”
Jiang An interrupted, “Moreover, Li Gang will be dissatisfied with his son because this time, he was transferred to Jiangzhou because of Little Fatty’s actions.”
Zou Bai nodded comfortingly. “He does favor boys over girls, but no matter how much he values them, as long as he compares them to his career, he’ll still choose the latter. Moreover, after this incident, his remarried wife and son’s lives won’t be as easy as before.”
Every time Li Gang got up and saw that G.o.dforsaken place, he would compare it to the rich Lin City and the poor Jiangzhou. Every time he compared it, he would feel stifled. How could he still be nice to Yu Xin and her son? Their good days were really over.
Jiang An recalled her eldest brother and second brother’s previous evaluation of Zou Bai. His methods and schemes of killing without spilling blood were indeed not something she could fight against. However, she did not dislike Zou Bai’s method of handling this matter at all.
Jiang An glanced at Zou Bai. “I’ve finally seen what it means to kill someone. Instead of destroying and torturing a person’s body, it’s better to slowly defeat their mind and soul.”
She was not a saint, who would still pity others first after being bullied by them and escaping it.
Jiang An knew very well that if it weren’t for her family background and her relationship with Zou Bai, if she was just an ordinary person, she would have no choice but to compromise in the face of such a powerful suppression. Some rich and powerful people just liked to s.n.a.t.c.h. To them, the resistance of ordinary people was like watching a battle between trapped beasts. They might even clap and cheer from the side from time to time.
Zou Bai was good at manipulating people’s hearts and took pleasure in it. When he heard Jiang An’s words, he closed his eyes and lay leisurely on the recliner. “You’ll often be active in the social circles of upper-cla.s.s society in the future. Besides, you also want to enter the business circle. If you don’t want to be eaten up until there’s nothing left, you have to learn these methods.”
There was no limit to learning. This was something that would continue for the rest of one’s life. It was like rowing a boat in the reverse current. If one did not row forward, they would be carried back by the current..
