1002: Chapter 97 Is This It?_3 1002: Chapter 97 Is This It?_3 Anyone who has made it to the position of the Great Commander, without exception, is either a top-tier genius or a strong figure.
At the very least, they possess exceptional acting skills.
But among these individuals, not all can get reelected!
Or rather, for most of them, reelection is extrely difficult.
“Hutter’s words are problematic.
Are you certain his reason is that his superior was ostracized and scapegoated by Black Satan’s n?”
Lisa was the first to speak, pinpointing the biggest flaw in the logic.
As soone who takes bribes, it’s hard to imagine soone like Hutter ignoring Black Satan’s olive branch for such a reason.
Slightly startled, Gru quickly responded.
“Absolutely sure!”
Both Lisa and Gru looked at Cheng Daqi.
Cheng Daqi swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his lips, and began his analysis.
“The shift in power within Forbes must be taken into account.
After all, Black Satan is no longer in the position of power, but his disciples surely occupy nurous roles within Forbes.
For Hutter, it’s better to bet on the potential chances we, the Republican Party, might bring him in the future rather than joining Black Satan’s faction.
When it cos to key influence under Black Satan, no matter how hard Hutter tries, he won’t match the old-tirs.
He’s probably aiming to hedge his bets.
Since that’s the case, we need to give him a response.”
Cheng Daqi paused, then looked at Gru and instructed.
“Gru, even though Hutter was promoted by Achilles, that doesn’t prevent us from bringing him into our fold.
Send him three hundred thousand dollars first; let’s test his appetite.”
Sheriff Gru responded awkwardly.
“Uh, Chan, there’s sothing I didn’t ntion.
I spent five hundred thousand on this news.”
This expense was sothing Gru had assigned to Eris, his scapegoat, to foot the bill, but it was clear he couldn’t hide it now.
You can’t be too selfish in life; soone like Cheng Daqi, as a leader, was already generous enough.
“Alright, your bonus this year will be increased by two million.
Moving forward, keep in frequent contact with Hutter.
This guy might have so ambition and investnt potential.”
Gru’s face imdiately broke into a wide grin.
As a high school graduate with strong math skills, Sheriff Gru could easily manage calculations under a hundred.
Two million as a bonus, plus the 50-50 split of Eris’s one million.
Hmm, exactly 2.5 million.
Poor Gru couldn’t possibly understand the nuanced implication of “two point five” in Chinese culture.
His tragedy lay in the fact that he had already forgotten how he was step-by-step transford into nothing more than a tool of capital.
How much is 2.5 million dollars really worth?
Back when Cheng Daqi worked with him, projects had budgets in tens of millions, and when it ca ti to split the profits, they’d divide it in tens of millions as well.
But now, he was exceedingly smug about personally pocketing a hidden 2.5 million without relying on gang connections.
Halfway through the al, Gru left, enabling Lisa and Cheng Daqi to finally talk about topics that were inconvenient to discuss in Gru’s presence.
“Chan, you don’t seem to be paying much attention to Black Satan’s surveillance of you?”
Cheng Daqi chuckled.
He understood Lisa’s concerns—Arica’s forr Great Commander was certainly no simple figure.
The wisdom of this blonde woman lay in knowing that showing even a hint of weakness wasn’t suitable in Gru’s presence.
Thus, when Gru was there, Cheng Daqi didn’t ntion the risks, and neither did Lisa.
This was the tacit understanding between her and Cheng Daqi.
“It’s not just ; it’s us.
And we are not just the two of us.”
In martial arts novels, if a master can’t single-handedly fight their way through an entire street, they don’t seem cool enough.
But in real-world stories, whoever fights alone is just a fool.
The term “forming factions” is often used to criticize enemies, but isn’t the essence of uniting one’s own side also “forming factions”?
It just so happens that Cheng Daqi is quite adept at rallying more friends to his side.
“So, what’s your plan?”
The blonde woman’s eyes shimred slightly.
The covert ga with the forr Great Commander—this was an exhilarating kind of play.
She was eager, eager to see what moves Cheng Daqi would make to counter this lurking Great Demon King.
“No hurry, let’s toy with him a bit first!”
