Chapter 49: Subduing Lord Song (Part 2)
Song Tian'er, with her daughterly sensitivity, noticed this, and a sudden warmth welled up inside her. For the first time in many years, she had seen a man treat her father with such respect and reverence. Her heart began to race involuntarily.
Many daughters choose boyfriends based on their fathers, especially women with proud fathers. Their standards for choosing a boyfriend will certainly not be lower than their father's; otherwise, in their eyes, the man would be a good-for-nothing.
Many women, if you can keep them in check, will be as obedient as a kitten. If you can't, hehe, then she's a shrew, and you'll have to be a eunuch serving her in a high-pitched voice.
At this moment, Li Yang's performance actually made Song Tian'er feel stunned. This fiery and proud underworld princess was about to fall for him.
"It's very simple! The camp remains, but the soldiers come and go! When one powerful backer falls, another one comes along! You are the local bigwig, an unshakeable force! Every politician who wants to make a name for themselves here has to cultivate a good relationship with you."
Of course, you have to win over some people and suppress others. Mayor Tsai is someone you once suppressed with all your might. You are enemies. Although politicians are as ruthless as prostitutes and only care about interests, your ugliness is too heavy to be resolved.
Therefore, what you need to do is to strongly support the newly appointed mayor, Ye Qing, and help him stabilize his position and make progress in Jiangdong City. It might be a bit challenging at first, after all, Mayor Cai has been operating in Jiangdong City for over a decade, and his influence is deeply entrenched.
"But I also know that Mayor Ye Qing is a man of great things. As long as you work together, you will definitely be able to move forward, and the road ahead will become brighter and brighter." Li Yang paused deliberately here, letting Master Song think about his words. He must have also done an in-depth analysis of the situation and was looking for a way out.
"How can you tell that things are getting brighter?" After a moment's thought, Master Song asked anxiously. Clearly, he had been persuaded by Li Yang and was beginning to take Li Yang's words seriously, treating him as an equal. He was no longer just a high school senior.
Daozi's expression was also very complicated. His secret crush on the young lady was the driving force behind his constant practice of swordsmanship. However, his hard work in swordsmanship eventually made him Master Song's personal bodyguard and top enforcer.
The princess grew into a stunningly beautiful woman, charming enough to captivate any man. However, he was heartbroken to discover that her alluring, seductive eyes were fixed on another boy.
That young man was someone that Song Ye had to face squarely.
He was extremely unwilling, but had to admit, that he was inferior to this young man. Because Master Song had always treated him as a servant, a subordinate, but never as an equal friend, much less a man to whom he could entrust his daughter.
"Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help! The so-called Way is the will of the people, it is power. Because Mayor Tsai has been suppressed for a long time, like all politicians, his mentality has been distorted. Therefore, the people and forces he has gathered are all filthy scum! Garbage! For example, the Meiya Group."
What they do is shady and can't withstand scrutiny. If you pry open even a crack in these things, they'll collapse like dominoes, triggering a chain reaction and becoming utterly irrecoverable!" Li Yang declared definitively.
Master Song took a deep breath, lit a cigar, and squinted in thought. After a long while, he suddenly slapped his thigh, his face flushed, and stared at Li Yang, saying, "Good lad! You've convinced me. You're indeed not simple. My daughter has good taste! Haha... Just now, you were able to face the knife without changing your expression, but I could see that you had already prepared to counterattack. The reaction your body made the moment the knife approached was not that of an ordinary person. Only someone with a certain level of confidence in their abilities could have such courage. You are a master."
"I didn't want to believe it just now, but now I do," Master Song said earnestly, looking at Li Yang.
Of course, Li Yang wouldn't confess and seek leniency. Although his body had only been slightly tempered by that immortal, it had already become incredibly strong, reaching the level of innate divine strength described by the ancients. In addition, he ate well and started doing push-ups like crazy every day, making his physical strength even stronger. At this moment, while he might not be able to kill a bull with one punch, he could certainly knock a person out of their life and render them unable to take care of themselves.
He sensed that the knife was being pulled back when it was thrown, and that it wasn't meant to kill him, which is why he took the risk.
Fortunately, the adventure was successful and the rewards were huge.
At least the unusual, burning light in Song Tian'er's sexy eyes just now hadn't appeared before today. Even when he flirted with her in the car, she mostly just gave him perfunctory responses.
"Hehe... Mr. Song, you think too highly of me. I have a plan that requires your help. If I complete this plan, I can not only cut off Cai Lan's source of income, but also help you establish a relationship with the newly appointed Mayor Ye and become his ally."
However, I'm merely providing an opportunity. How to develop and maintain this balance in the future is up to you, Mr. Song. Now that you've secured the deal and laid the groundwork, let's begin.
"Tell me about it," Master Song said with interest.
"They should be reacting by now. Let's turn on the computer and watch the show while we talk," Li Yang said casually.
"Oh? Okay then." Master Song got up and walked to the computer desk.
"I'll turn on the computer." Song Tian'er exclaimed and rushed over first. Her plump, round buttocks made her look even more alluring as she ran.
Li Yang's eyes couldn't help but follow her buttocks.
Song Qin caught a glimpse of Li Yang's gaze out of the corner of his eye, and a smug smile crept onto his lips. "Since you've taken a liking to my daughter, then you're mine from now on."
The computer was turned on. Li Yang's hacking skills, while not exceptionally high, were sufficient. With his recent actions, the Meiya Group had quickly become infamous throughout the internet—not for good reasons, but for bad ones.
"Ah... I haven't been online for a long time, how could something like this happen? Could it be that Mayor Ye's people made a move? No, no..." Master Song said incredulously after seeing the series of posts and the popularity of the topic online.
Song Tian'er was also shocked by the development of the situation. To be honest, she was also somewhat surprised by Li Yang's computer skills in the internet cafe, but there were many things she didn't understand at the time, so she wasn't that impressed.
If you want to truly impress someone, the best way is often to decisively defeat them in what they are most proud of.
Chapter 50: I'm a virgin!
Seeing that Li Yang's series of actions had produced such an effect, she was truly astonished. Coupled with the subtle change in her mind just now, her gaze towards Li Yang became even more unusual, carrying a sweet feeling.
"Of course it wasn't Mayor Ye's people who did it. As for who did it, that's somewhere far away but right in front of us!" Song Tian'er said, shaking her head, her cute expression like that of a little girl begging for candy.
"Why? Why did you do this?" Master Song was no longer very surprised. After all, given that the young man he considered talented had done what he had just done and said those words, it was only to be expected that he would do something so amazing again.
"No reason? Just happy!" Li Yang shrugged, unwilling to answer. At this moment, Master Song clearly believed that Li Yang liked his daughter, Song Tian'er. If he knew that Li Yang was doing this for another woman, who knows if he would fly into a rage!
"You're just trying to fool me." Master Song clearly didn't believe him.
"Because Mei Fu offended me. If I don't kill him, he'll kill me!" Li Yang had no choice but to give a direct answer, which was close to the truth.
Song Tian'er glared at him with a hint of jealousy, but didn't expose him. After all, Cao Xin was her best friend, and she had once jokingly said that the two of them, like the legendary goddesses Ehuang and Nüying, would share one husband!
"Oh, I see. That spendthrift Mei Fu, the Mei family has produced such an heir, their days are numbered." Song Qin nodded and said. He increasingly believed Li Yang's words that Cai Lan's people were all scum, going further and further astray, and would collapse sooner or later.
"What you're doing doesn't seem to be working very well. Do you have a backup plan?" Song Qin, a seasoned veteran, hit the nail on the head.
“Of course. It’s up to you and Mayor Ye now. But we’ll need you to use some resources to spread some rumors and get some third-rate newspapers to publish them,” Li Yang said.
"What rumor?" Song Qin asked.
"Let's say this action is Mayor Ye's first of three 'fires' since taking office, and that he's going to take action against the Mei family," Li Yang said.
"This...isn't this a bit inappropriate? Mayor Ye isn't someone who jokes around." Song Qin felt this was a serious matter; angering Ye Qing was no laughing matter, after all, he was the mayor.
"It all depends on your courage and wisdom, Master Song. I will also prepare a truthful report about the Mei family's misdeeds. With this report, we can launch a fatal blow against the Mei family, drawing blood without hesitation. The Mei family will have no way to resist!" Li Yang said confidently.
"What material? How did you get it?" Song Qin asked, his eyes lighting up. If he had something like this, and it really could bring down the Mei family, he might even be able to persuade the mayor to join him on the same side.
