253: Chapter 242: The Hero’s Post 253: Chapter 242: The Hero’s Post Given that, they both couldn’t understand why Wang Dong had acted that way.
It had to be mentioned that when Song Yun had a chat with Wang Dong, he had made it clear that the official scene in Sunan City was intricate and complex.
If Wang Dong wanted to climb the ranks, he had to remain neutral.
Since he was not involved in any systemic turbulence, no one would foolishly come to bother him.
He could have used this advantage to create even greater benefits for himself.
In the end, Song Yun gave Wang Dong a single piece of advice, which was to wholeheartedly serve the common people.
As long as the public thought of him as a man willing to get things done without much fanfare, his position would be secure.
Whether he climbed higher would entirely depend on his performance.
Those high-ranking officials didn’t fall from power for embezzling a certain amount of money; it was because they failed to win the hearts of the people and lacked the ability to manage their subordinates well, leading to their downfall.
After hearing this, Wang Dong firmly believed it and felt no need to join a faction for protection.
He was already tied to the Li Family’s interests, and with Li Shishi, the Li Family’s young miss, involved with Song Yun, it meant he had the support of two giant figures.
He didn’t have to worry about others, just maintaining a good reputation was enough.
Song Yun, having just woken up, surely didn’t know so much.
He yawned his way to the Shura Alliance’s cafeteria, asking the cook to slice half a tael of marinated beef for him and grab a bottle of ice-cold beer, planning to treat his belly well.
Now, to prevent the gang from failing to recognize Song Yun, his photo had been distributed throughout the Shura Alliance, and the cook was no exception.
Once the cook saw that Brother Song wanted to eat, of course, he had to show off his best skills to Brother Song—slicing beef, tearing chicken, and even if that wasn’t enough, balancing the meat with vegetables, he finished up with a tomato beef soup.
Looking at the four dishes, one soup, and several bottles of ice-cold beer on the table, Song Yun shook his head helplessly, knowing he couldn’t finish it all by himself.
Just as this thought occurred, Li Tang staggered over, dropped into the seat across from Song Yun, and laughed, “Boss, did Sister-in-law drain you last night?
You looked yellow and waxy when you came in this morning.”
“I’ve been up all night,” Song Yun pointed to the dishes on the table, “Have you eaten?
If not, join me.”
“Sure.” Li Tang, this bastard, never cared who he dined with; as long as he was well-fed, that was all that mattered.
Among everyone, only his eating style was the most ferocious, like a wolf who hadn’t eaten for days, barely swallowing one mouthful before stuffing another chopstick full of meat into his mouth.
Watching Li Tang nearly choke himself to death, Song Yun quickly poured half a bottle of beer down his throat.
After a satisfying meal, Song Yun sat on the couch, sipping on hawthorn water to aid digestion, while that bastard Li Tang acted as if nothing had happened, even complaining he had only eaten till eighty percent full.
After a good meal, it was time to attend to serious matters.
Song Yun sat at his office desk, flipping through the recent financial flows within the gang.
After the last warning, no one dared to tamper with the funds again.
Currently, in the Shura Alliance, the ones who really had a say were Zhao Yan, Li Tang, Meng Ku, Black Flood Dragon, Wang Hu, and Wu Li.
As for the mid-level members, they mostly just led their subordinates out to cause some trouble when things were quiet.
If it came to serious matters, they had no say in meetings.
It kind of followed the principle of centralizing power with the higher-ups, who gave orders and controlled the gang’s lifeline.
The mid and low-level members had their roles to play only when needed.
As he calculated how to expand the funding, Zhao Yan pushed open the door.
Eyeing Li Tang who was sprawled on the sofa watching movies on his phone, she said, “Boss, didn’t you buy a Fengshui Plate that’s quite famous?
Can’t you use it to check how good the feng shui is over there?”
“These things are just for play.
If you completely rely on feng shui, people become lazy,” Li Tang laughed.
“But I’ve set up a Qi Absorption Array in our base.
Have you not noticed that our trainees are able to last longer during their sessions?
It’s because the array absorbs the surrounding energy, constantly improving their physical conditions day and night.”
“Alright, alright, you’re always right,” Zhao Yan pursed her lips and continued, “Boss, the Wild Wolf Gang has sent out a broad invitation tonight to all the renowned figures in Sunan City.
Should our Shura Alliance attend?”
Taking the invitation from Zhao Yan’s hand and glancing at the card bordered with gold, he smiled, “The Wild Wolf Gang sure is rich, even their paper has gold edges.”
“They are, after all, one of the three established organizations in Sunan City.
Some face can’t be saved,” Zhao Yan adjusted her glasses, “My suggestion is to go.
After all, we haven’t had a falling-out with any gang yet, and it’s good to witness their grievances.”
“Then let’s go.
They’ve sent out ‘hero’ invitations; would we look like cowards if we didn’t attend?” Song Yun smiled and placed the invitation on the desk, “I’ll go personally tonight and take the chance to see this Gang Leader of the Wild Wolf Gang.
If you think about it, I have a bit of a connection with him.”
“Connection?” Zhao Yan seemed puzzled.
“Yeah.
The latest intel I received from the National Security Bureau said that Wild Wolf Gang was once assigned to Sunan City by National Security.
But later, somehow they lost touch, and National Security kicked him out.
Tonight, it will be good to see his true face.
Anyone who dares to wrestle with National Security is a tough person no matter what,” Song Yun mused with narrowed eyes.
“Li Tang, our gang doesn’t have wifi, right?
Isn’t it buffering to watch movies through 4G here?” With business wrapped up, Song Yun casually asked.
“Who still uses 4G nowadays?
I’ve upgraded to 5G.
The speed is incredible.
The only thing is, my phone plan costs me one to two taels a month,” Li Tang said with a smile.
“Boss, why don’t you upgrade at the shop when you’re free?
I heard they’re running a promotion.”
“5G, huh?
There’s no need for such fast internet.
I don’t use my phone for gaming,” Song Yun replied.
“But you could download movies to watch when you’re out,” Li Tang wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, “Though it might not be as fast as your home wifi, a gigabyte movie can be downloaded in less than half an hour.”
“Damn, that’s fast,” Song Yun exclaimed, “Then I’ll go to the shop and get one too.”
Zhao Yan shook her head helplessly at the two showing off, thinking Song Yun was surrounded by beauties, and Li Tang was a player in the sea of flowers.
And herself?
Where was her better half?
