The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

He Hong, whom I haven't seen for a long time, seems to have changed little from when I first met him. He is still strong and strong.

The first impression of his face is that of fortitude. Time has carved marks on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, but this does not reduce his majesty, but adds a bit of composure.

His hair is slightly sparse, but still meticulously combed, and the white strands in his hair reflect his experience and accumulation over time.

He was impeccably dressed in a well-tailored dark suit. There was a golden pen in the pocket of the suit, shining with exquisite luster.

His eyes were still deep, as if he could see into the abyss of the human heart. A pair of eyes seemed to be examining me silently, making me tighten my body involuntarily.

"Mr. He."

He Hong smiled softly and pointed to the sofa beside him: "Sit down."

We sat down facing each other and he asked me, "What would you like to drink?"

"I can do it."

He asked the bartender to make two cocktails.

"I basically know the situation in the park." He said slowly.

I nodded slightly and waited for the next step.

"I've also watched the video you gave me before. Hu Laosan is getting bolder and bolder now. He dares to let people kill Lao Lu..."

He Hong's voice had no ripples, but there was a sense of calmness and authority.

"Originally, I planned to let you replace him. But you also know that I don't have the final say in the park alone."

He continued: "The main reason I came to you this time is to prepare you."

"Ready?" I looked at him with some confusion.

He Hong picked up the cocktail on the table and took a sip: "Some time ago, we held an online shareholders' meeting. Many shareholders questioned me, saying that I hindered Hu Laosan's work."

"How is that possible?" I asked, "Mr. He, you basically don't care much about the park's affairs. Hu Laosan has the final say in everything. Why..."

Before I could finish speaking, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's other people's mouths. It's their business to say what they like."

"It must be Hu Laosan who is behind this!" I couldn't help but say.

"Even if he is causing trouble, I can't touch him now. Many businesses in the park require cooperation from Malay, and I also have business in Malay that needs help. I don't pay attention to Hu Laosan at all."

He paused and said, "Sooner or later I will deal with him, but it's not the time yet."

Having said this, he stared at me: "If the park is divided into two, are you sure you can achieve results?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be slightly startled: "Split into two?"

"Yes, this idea was proposed by Chen Tianxiang. Divide the park market into two parts and give them to you and Hu Laosan respectively..."

Before he could continue, I said, "Let me compete with him?"

"Yes." He Hong nodded, "The term is one year. Whoever of you performs well will manage the park in the future."

Li Yan called me before and told me that Chen Tianxiang should take some action.

I just didn't expect that it would end up like this.

"Many shareholders now think that you are Chen Tianxiang's man." He Hong smiled and said, "So when this plan was proposed, no one objected."

"What do you mean, Mr. He?" I asked.

"Of course I hope you can take over the park." He pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry, I will secretly help you during your competition."

Hearing this, I was relieved.

To be honest, if I were asked to compare performance with Hu Laosan, I would be really confused.

If he and I were both directors of the marketing department and we competed for performance, I wouldn't be afraid.

But now that you are in this position, more than performance, it often depends not on how smart you are, but more.

The simplest one, such as the Yibi project, was not easy for me to implement at the beginning. How many people did I find during the period?

But if Hu Laosan comes to do this project, he only needs a few words and the entire project can be rolled out.

To put it bluntly, Hu Laosan has connections and foundation, but I have nothing. I am nothing outside the park.

Let me compare our performance with him. If there is no support behind me, I will not be his opponent at all.

So, when I first heard the news, I felt very uneasy.

I'm afraid that He Hong is also in a wait-and-see state, and then I really have no chance at all.

But now it seems that He Hong is not unaware of this situation, and he is supporting me behind the scenes. It is obvious that he wants to use me to gain control of the park.

"Yang Lei, are you sure?" He Hong asked me again.

"I'm sure of the president's support!" I said.

"That's best. You'd better not disappoint me. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

He slowly smoked a cigarette and leaned on the sofa, not knowing what he was thinking.

After about a minute or so, he threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "You will stay in Westport during this period and just relax."

"What about the park?"

"There will be people over there to handle it. After everything in the park is settled, you and I will go to Malay to meet with other shareholders. The competition between you and Hu Laosan will also be officially announced."

I nodded and said nothing more.

After returning to the hotel, I sat in the room and thought for a long time before picking up the phone and reporting the meeting with He Hong to Zhao Yuan.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yuan chuckled after listening to my narration. Her voice came through the phone with a hint of joking: "Sure enough, these old foxes are not easy to deal with."

I understand what she means. Let Hu Laosan and I compete. No matter what the outcome is, the real winners will always be the shareholders.

In this way, the order of the park will be stabilized, and the performance that Hu Laosan and I will strive to achieve in the next year will undoubtedly greatly increase the profits of the park.

This competition has another meaning.

If I win, I will cherish this position even more and become subservient to my shareholders.

If Hu Laosan wins, this year will undoubtedly be a major blow to him, forcing him to become more low-key and restrained.

So in this power game, the only winners are the people above.

I hung up the phone, filled with mixed emotions.

I have to admit a cruel reality. In this electronic fraud park, everyone is just a pawn in the chain of interests!

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to dispel the depression in my heart.

Then, I stood up, walked to the window, and stared out the window. Under the night sky, the high-rise buildings in Westport were as tall as a forest, and the neon lights flashed, reflecting the city's bustling appearance and the hard-to-peep abyss.

Some of these light spots are bright and dazzling, and some are dim and dull, just like every life in the park, some are blooming wantonly on the top, and some are unknown in the corners.

I felt as if I was standing on the top of this tall building, witnessing everything below, but I felt like a chess piece trapped in it, trying to find a way out in the intertwining of light and shadow.

The prosperity of Westport is in sharp contrast to my life in the park.

Here, people are chasing money and dreams, but in that campus surrounded by high walls, we are chasing only the possibility of survival.

Behind the glamor is the unknown darkness and filth, and I am at the center of it all, both a bystander and a participant!
