January 6, sunny, why the heck am I writing about the weather?
Never mind, since I’ve written it, let’s just say a sunny day can always lift one’s spirits.
My mood today is a 9—out of a hundred, haha, that joke isn’t funny at all.
January 7, it seems like a lot has happened, and it all happened after I left.
No, Zhao Hongjin, forget about everything in Arica, it’s only been half a year, just think of it as a dream.
January 9, soone died again, Cheng Daqi, is that why you rushed away?
No, he’s just a coward, too cowardly to take responsibility.
January 11, the Red Street kidnapping case has been brought to light.
What was that man thinking, bringing it up in the Senate.
Cheng Daqi was at the scene of the kidnapping, could this matter be related to him?
The previous struggle between LAPD and Forbes over the jurisdiction for the investigation of the ABC building beheading case caused a lot of commotion, LAPD’s Gru is Cheng Daqi’s…
Ugh, I can’t control my brain, I want to scream it out, to vent, I can’t hold it in.
January 13, the attacked Forbes isn’t dead, but why won’t Cheng Daqi reply to my ssages?
January 14, still no reply to my ssages, Lisa told he’s been busy lately.
January 15, Cheng Daqi, where have you gone?
What on earth happened?
January 16, decent people don’t write diaries, I’m going to fight my way back to Arica!
January 17, Cheng Daqi, why did it co to this?
Zhao Hongjin’s diary wasn’t written in a so-called diary book, she made a bunch of Friends Circle posts, and set them to be visible only to Cheng Daqi—but CEO Cheng didn’t have ti to see them.
The accusations against Zhao Hongjin were just because CEO Cheng, through Eris, found Komodo who was in the business of dealing with identities.
This small Arican bureaucrat had extensive connections in California, and with Komodo’s help, CEO Cheng had the Arican immigration service lock down Zhao Hongjin’s visa.
Little Zhao shouldn’t even think about returning to Arica anyti soon.
CEO Cheng sees this as an appropriate response.
Whether it’s good or bad, moral or immoral, he couldn’t care less.
The wealthy black-haired woman was willing to bet everything, but Temir wasn’t the only one betting on CEO Cheng.
Cheng Daqi had to keep moving forward, otherwise the lives of many people would be affected by him.
Gaining montum, sothing CEO Cheng had been diligently striving for, yet it forced him to keep going without pause.
If he stopped, what would Eris think?
If he stopped, would those unspeakable ventures of his encounter problems?
And that’s just looking at it from a material perspective.
Considering the choices he’s made along the way, all those things he’s given up, if he were to stop, how could he face himself?
A fervent soul cannot be cald—it must keep burning, either breaking through the wall, or dying beneath it.
However, CEO Cheng doesn’t find this strange.
There are too many excuses in this world for compromise, resignation, and laziness.
Countless people set out with ideals toward distant horizons, only to have those ideals crushed.
CEO Cheng’s ideals were crushed long ago, but he chose to build a new one himself.
First, set up so morals, go on, stuff morals in to make the foundation.
Then lay down so steadfast principles.
Principles aren’t absolute, they can be given up too.
Pack them in for the crossbeams.
Lastly, kick away the person you love.
Giving up personal emotions, CEO Cheng bears the pressure from Zhao Hongjin and from his own heart, using this blood-stained turnaround to build it all up.
Oh, of all the costs, ti and energy seem the least significant.
Cheng Daqi has lived long enough, he’s seen the wonders of the world, but he’s also seen its cruelty.
Sotis being busy is actually a good thing.
At least Cheng Daqi believes that his destination is worthwhile—the stars do not betray those who travel by night, and a goal-oriented struggle can even numb inner pain.
Temir was willing to give up everything.
CEO Cheng had already done so, and even more ruthlessly.
Unfortunately, this is nothing to be proud of.
Perhaps Zhao Hongjin is right to scold him—he’s sowhat cowardly, after all his heart isn’t really made of diamond; his heart is soft as well.
That’s why, at the final mont, he hesitated again, hoping by persuading Temir to give himself a reason to compromise.
No one is a perfect saint—Cheng Daqi least of all.
“Mi’er, your face is too tense, are you very nervous?”
Achilles had already arrived at Saint Rodu; his trip was to show a forceful presence, to keep the demons and monsters of California subdued.
Yes, California is Democratic Party territory, but there are many, many Republican people too.
Achilles, coordinating with the Great Commander, has grand plans.
The threat from the Forbes system is a knife poised at Gru’s neck, ready to drench Niu Sen in blood at any mont.
The uprisings on Capitol Hill leave the California Clique feeling like they are between life and death, unable to summon the strength to cope.
But the most unorthodox thing Achilles has done is to leave all his offensive moves hanging in the air.
Have they fallen out?
It’s as if they have.
Have they not had a falling out?
Like I said, it’s as if they have.
When is a nuclear weapon most threatening?
When it’s not used!
Once Achilles actually takes action, the struggle will imdiately beco complex, widespread, so he is very restrained in his micro-managing.
In the face of such restraint from Achilles, Mi’er is of course nervous, but she wouldn’t admit it.
“Let’s go inside.
I used to live here for a while, it’s one of our family’s properties.
But then I moved to the seaside and never ca back,” Achilles said.
Achilles has brought with him a whole team—fully equipped for life and work, he plans to stay in California for a while.
With so much business in Calamacrisca, as the de facto head of operations, Achilles needs his team close by to help him handle things.
