Chapter 162
Xu Qingyang sat there woodenly, not speaking or showing any expressions, staring blankly at Ye Tian for a long time before he finally said, "Apart from Zhang Xiayang, I won’t give my life to anyone else."
Ye Tian walked over, patted his shoulder, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it, "Have one?"
"Thank you. I don’t smoke."
When asked, Zhang Daniu also waved his hand at Ye Tian, "I can’t stand the smell, forget it."
Seeing that both men refused, Ye Tian also put the cigarette back in his mouth.
"There isn’t much worth talking about me. Even with Zhang Xiayang, we just had a superficial relationship. After exchanging a few handshakes, he gave me his phone and told me to contact you guys if there was anything in the future. Honestly, if there was room for negotiation or other ways, I definitely wouldn’t have come to you. Someone once told me to ’use men without doubting them, and not to use men you doubt,’ but I can’t do that. Because she is a boss-level person, making a wrong move or several, at worst she can start over, but I can’t. I’m just a small character who carefully plans with a specific goal in mind. I have many opponents, even a giant organization; I can’t afford any mistakes. Any risky matters require careful consideration, as I don’t have the capital to start over after a mistake. The method of using people without doubt is not for me, and I wouldn’t use it."
Xu Qingyang and Zhang Daniu looked at the man sitting on the ground, smoking deeply and quietly. Their concerns were somewhat alleviated, but replaced by other thoughts.
"I’m a simple person. I deal with present matters then lay groundwork for future pursuits. I am very purpose-driven, or in other words, quite scheming. Both of your lives are your own; neither of you can take them from each other, and I certainly have no right. This mess is what Zhang Xiayang handed to me, containing things left behind by his master. He did what he had to do; the rest requires someone to tidy up."
