Chapter 2145 Taking the blame

Chief Bai looked at Liu Fusheng, smiled and said, "I know you are a little nervous, but it doesn't matter now."

He repeated twice that it was not important. Liu Fusheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean by not important?"

Chief Bai said: "In the officialdom, you can't cut off your retreat. This is an iron rule. But this time, I support you very much, because you, the Bai family, and even our country, have no retreat."

"If we really decide to compromise with overseas capital, our country will fall into the same situation as South Korea and Japan, where we are controlled by others. On the surface, the economy may be prosperous, but in fact, we don't even have complete sovereignty. Just like Japan's Plaza Accord, a piece of paper actually turned a flourishing country into dust."

"We have already lost the soybean war. The national economy has suffered unimaginable losses, and even the entire industry has been devastated. We can no longer retreat. When two enemies meet on a narrow road, the brave will prevail. Only by fighting hard can we win."

After a pause, Chief Bai concluded word by word: "Even if you don't come forward, I will take the initiative to assume this responsibility at a higher-level meeting."

Liu Fusheng nodded slowly and said sincerely: "Thank you, uncle."

The white-haired chief smiled and said, "Thank me for what?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Thank you for not telling me this before I participated in the discussion. I know that this is a kind of protection for me."

He knew very well that Chief Bai did not tell him in advance because he was afraid that he would think too much. In other words, Chief Bai had no intention of letting Liu Fusheng take the initiative to take responsibility. He really wanted to carry everything on his own shoulders.

After hearing this, Chief Bai laughed and said, "If you want to help, help the smart people. I have never been wrong about you."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "I am also very pleased that I was not wrong about you, uncle."

This statement may seem a bit rude, but Chief Bai feels that it is a great affirmation of himself.

This does not mean that the younger generation questions the older generation in their hearts, but that two people with the same ideals develop a sense of mutual admiration.

Chief Bai said: "You have done a great job. You have completely deprived the Tang family of the opportunity to play double games, seek reputation, or even throw dirty water on us. The entire Bai family needs to thank you."

Liu Fusheng said, "If you hadn't held Chief Tang back, the situation would be very different now. You must have paid a heavy price for this, right?"

Chief Bai shook his head and said, "None of this is important. The country comes first, then the family. As long as our country is not heading in the wrong direction, all the price I paid will be worth it."

Liu Fusheng knew that Chief Bai's taking down of the deputy minister who was inclined towards the Tang family would definitely cause a violent backlash from Mr. Tang. What's more, he also prevented Mr. Tang from turning the tide and whitewashing his own behavior, which would definitely lead to even more violent retaliation from the Tang family.

……

At this moment, Mr. Tang had a blank expression on his face, but his heart was burning with rage.

He was very angry at the servile and timid Professor Zhao in front of him.

Like Chief Bai, Mr. Tang has already received the brief minutes of the meeting.

He was just about to make a phone call to scold Zhao Lin, but he didn't expect that Zhao Lin would come to the Tang family on his own initiative.

Zhao Lin looked at Mr. Tang tremblingly, grinned and said, "Commander, I really can't do anything about this matter."

"no way?"

Old Master Tang narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you helpless or are you too cowardly? I heard that you are using the same old trick again and putting pressure on Liu Fusheng with the responsibility. After he accepts the challenge, can't you give him the responsibility and take it back on yourself?"

"This one……"

Zhao Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Commander, you have wronged me. It's not that I don't dare, but the things you told me to do are completely contrary to this promise. Even if I have the courage to refute Liu Fusheng, I can't get back on my words."

"According to our agreement, I should argue with reason and be a staunch surrenderist. Then you can come forward and persuade me with reason and emotion, so that I will repent and follow your instructions to take up the banner of defending my country and go to war with the four major grain merchants."

In the past, Mr. Tang and Zhao Lin had indeed agreed to perform a double act, and the specific time for correcting the wrongs was decided by Mr. Tang.

What Zhao Lin had to do in the early stages was to gain control of the discourse, lead the discussion process, and wait for Mr. Tang to speak.

Now after hearing what Zhao Lin said, Mr. Tang's expression became even uglier, because what Zhao Lin said made a lot of sense, leaving him speechless.

Zhao Lin saw Chief Tang's expression and fearing that he would be angered, he could not help but add: "Chief, this matter really cannot be blamed on me. I was almost at your house yesterday, but you suddenly sent someone to inform me that the meeting was cancelled. If we had finished talking yesterday, the situation today would definitely be different."

Mr. Tang's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "You mean, it was because of me that things got delayed? Are you blaming me?"

The eerie voice frightened Zhao Lin so much that he shivered violently, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He waved his hands hastily and said, "I dare not, I dare not, you misunderstood, Chief, this is all my fault, it's all my fault, I have no brains, no ability, I..."

Mr. Tang snorted coldly: "You are indeed more stupid than I thought, but in the final analysis, I fell into someone else's trap."

"A trap?" Zhao Lin looked at Mr. Tang blankly.

Mr. Tang ignored him and just tapped the table lightly, lost in thought.

Zhao Lin waited for two or three minutes. Seeing that Mr. Tang remained silent, he could not help but ask tentatively, "Commander, now that things have come to this, do you think I should continue to insist on the view of compromise, or..."

Mr. Tang glanced at him and said, "What is your opinion? Does it matter now?"

"Uh."

Zhao Lin found that Commander Tang was in a very bad mood and was so scared that he didn't dare to speak.

Mr. Tang said, "Go back. You are already a complete loser."

Zhao Lin asked weakly, "What about what you told me about helping me get an academician?"

Mr. Tang said coldly: "You don't understand what I'm saying?"

At this time, he was already a little impatient with Zhao Lin, the idiot.

This idiot wants to be an academician? Dream on!

If Zhao Lin said a few more words, Mr. Tang would probably get angry and give him a hard time or even make him evaporate.

Zhao Lin was smart. He clearly saw a hint of murderous intent in Mr. Tang's eyes. He quickly shut up, stood up, and slowly left the study.

At this time, Zhao Lin was also a little unhappy. He felt that he had done nothing wrong, but he was taking the blame for Mr. Tang. The originally promised status as an academician was also gone. What the hell was going on?

After leaving the Tang family, Zhao Lin gritted his teeth and thought: "If you need people, you should move forward. If you don't need people, you should move backward. What the hell is this a big boss? You just wait for me. Don't forget that your son's food is still in my hands... Since you don't help me, forget about selling your son's food!"
