Chapter 338: What does cooperation_1 mean?
No one could refuse an invitation from Boss Du.
Zhang Yizhi pursed his lips, "Brother Du, what about Shi Pingchuan?"
"Are you doubting the ability of the second rank?" Duge glanced at him and said, "Yizhi, do you know why Shi Pingchuan is second and yet your reputation is not prominent?"
"Why?" Zhang Yizhi asked subconsciously.
"Being a nation’s Prime Minister seems to carry high status, and cooperating with him, you can play a greater role. But don’t forget, Shi Pingchuan’s position is high, he has too many people he can use." Duge smiled, "Following him, it seems like cooperation, but in reality, it is obedience; he gives orders, and you carry them out. Even if he doesn’t use you, and switches to someone else, the result would be the same. Think about it, isn’t that the case?"
...
There was a rigid expression on Zhang Yizhi’s face.
"It’s different with me, I am in dire need of people. As long as you do something, it will be promoted and publicized for you, like Huangfu Yue, Gao Yanping, Huangfu Xing, Gou Heyi... Aren’t their reputations now known to everyone?"
Duge said, "This time, we’re going to fight Cao Lin. You’re in charge of luring Cao Lin to Yang River, and I’ll take care of him. This will be perfect teamwork. The promotional slogan I’ve thought of goes like this: Zhang Yizhi ingeniously lures the enemy, bravely He Xu captures Cao Lin. Your reputation will become known throughout the land in one fell swoop."
Zhang Yizhi’s heart was stirred by what Duge had said, and he licked his lips again, "Can I do it? Cao Lin won’t kill me, will he?"
"Yizhi, you understand me." Duge patted Zhang Yizhi on the shoulder, "Think about the outcomes of those who have been with me, and then think about the outcomes of those who have opposed me. Trust yourself, and trust me too."
Those words seemed to inject boundless confidence into Zhang Yizhi, and he suddenly straightened up, "Brother Du, I’ll follow your arrangements."
