Rebirth: A big star falls in love with me
Chapter 72 Setting traps and digging pits
"Dude, take one."
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, then took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"Thank you."
Zhang Yu took out one and picked it up, and Mr. Zhao lit it for him.
Two men who had never known each other suddenly became much closer because of a cigarette.
"My brother seems to have something on his mind. Is it a middle-aged man's dilemma?"
Zhang Yu asked casually, and he didn't expect to get any valuable information from Mr. Zhao.
"Hey, that's right."
Mr. Zhao loosened his tie, took a long puff of cigarette, and sighed deeply.
"Brother, what would you do if you had a son who was going to jail and there was nothing you could do about it?"
Zhang Yu pondered for a while before answering.
"If there is no way to change this fact, then it depends on how big the time span is."
"The time span is very large, at least more than ten years."
Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking very decadent.
"If this is the case, I will choose to have a second, third, or fourth child, and have a few more children. Since the large size is already obsolete, it will still be obsolete even if it comes out. This is a fact that no one can change. Just give up and practice some better trumpets again!"
Zhang Yu looked out the window and flicked the ashes from his cigarette.
"I know it's hard to accept this, but the fact is that if you blindly care about sunk costs, it will only make you suffer greater losses in the future, because you will have no choice by then."
Mr. Zhao blinked and asked a question.
“Brother, what are sunk costs?”
"A large ship was loaded with gold and silver treasures that pirates had collected for many years. It was sailing on the vast sea and was about to reach its destination after going through all kinds of hardships. Suddenly, a storm caused the entire ship to sink in the sky. The huge waves and the vast depths of the ocean.”
Zhang Yu sighed quietly, his eyes a little shaken.
"If you don't care about these sunken gold and silver treasures, you can escape in a lifeboat. But if you are not willing to spend too much time and energy to save a boatload of gold and silver treasures, you will be dead in search of salvage. This is Sunk costs."
Mr. Zhao suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
"This is very well said. I understand what you mean. What my brother said makes perfect sense. Just like that story, what's the point of caring about it after the truth has been broken?"
But soon, the smile on his face disappeared.
"It's hard to get off a pirate ship, and it's hard to escape. I'm afraid we either have to go ashore together or be destroyed together... Brother, what would you do if it were you?"
After Zhang Yu took a few puffs of cigarette, he said slowly.
"I believe there are no unsolvable problems in this world. If you feel there is no solution now, it's just that the position and angle you are standing on are wrong. If you change the position and angle, maybe everything will be solved."
What Zhang Yu didn't expect was that Mr. Zhao would tell almost everything that happened between him and Mr. Tang.
This person never thought that Zhang Yu was the culprit that caused his son to be imprisoned!
What an irony.
"In other words, the other party has caught your lever, but you have not caught the other party's lever?"
Zhang Yu popped the last cigarette butt out of the window. It was a wise choice to stand here just now, and the harvest was very fruitful.
Mr. Zhao nodded helplessly and shook his head.
"Haven't you ever thought that the leverage she holds is actually in your hands? Do you think that the other party is not afraid of letting her boss know about this, but what if she might lose her job because of this? "
Zhang Yu did not continue. Whether he can understand it or not is Mr. Zhao's own business.
He nodded and said hello, then turned and went to the bathroom.
When I came back, there was no trace of Mr. Zhao. I didn’t know if he had gone back to the box or if he had already figured it out and started practicing!
Zhang Yu returned to his private room. The delicious food was already on the table, but no one moved their chopsticks. They were probably waiting for him to come back and start eating.
"Sorry, something has temporarily delayed me."
"It's okay, sit down and eat quickly."
The eldest aunt smiled and smoothed things over. After Zhang Yu sat down, everyone started to use their chopsticks.
Zhang Yu felt that Mrs. Lan had some prejudices against him. She was always lukewarm and was far less kind and enthusiastic than his eldest aunt Lan Jiaoyu.
Perhaps, what people like more is Master Mu Fei.
"Mr. Zhang, how big a project can your company undertake?"
Mu Fei suddenly asked.
"I am an affiliated company and can undertake general engineering projects, but if large projects require qualifications, we can only be a supplier below."
Zhang Yu didn't know how Mu Fei was going to trick him, but he was sure that this guy was digging a hole.
Just now he set a trap for Mr. Tang, and now Mu Fei is digging a hole for him. Is this the so-called tit-for-tat?
"I still have a big project here. You can ask the company to handle it. If it is completed, it will definitely be no problem to earn 800 million yuan."
Mu Fei looked very sincere, making people feel that he really wanted to help.
"We don't have enough qualifications, and our production capacity can't be increased. There is simply no way to accept such an order."
Zhang Yu peeled a crab for Lan Caiyou and put it on a small plate.
"Thank you Brother Mu for your help. When we have the ability to take over, we will come to you."
When Mu Fei saw that Zhang Yu didn't take the bait, a look of disappointment suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Zhang Yu's cell phone rang again. It was Bai Bing's call. He didn't know whether it was about something or just nonsense.
He hung up directly and sent a message asking: Baby, what’s wrong? It's not convenient for me to answer the phone here.
Bai Bing replied instantly: I miss you and want to hear your voice.
Zhang Yu couldn't even give her any treatment, but it was a pity that he didn't have time tonight, otherwise he would have gone over to comfort her.
"I'll call you back soon, sweetie."
"Well, okay, thank you dad."
When Zhang Yu saw the word "dad", he suddenly felt a little hot.
A meal is finally finished.
Everyone went their separate ways and dispersed.
"Zhang Yu, are you really Caiyou's boyfriend?"
Mrs. Lan watched the Mu family leave and suddenly turned around and asked.
"Mom, do you think Zhang Yu is not my boyfriend, but who is mine? Could he still be my husband?"
Lan Caiyou hugged Zhang Yu and gave him a passionate kiss.
That's it, the kind that's blended and silky.
Not to mention Mrs. Lan and Lan Jiaoyu, Zhang Yu, as the person involved, was shocked!
what's going on?
"Lan Caiyou, are you crazy?"
Mrs. Lan became so angry that she almost slapped him.
"Mom, I'm not crazy. Even if I am crazy, there are people who are willing to pick up the pieces and take good care of me."
Lan Caiyou hugged Zhang Yu's arm, with a look of happiness and dependence on his face, and stuffed him with a mouthful of dog food!
"you you!"
Mrs. Lan was so angry that she stamped her feet and walked away immediately.
"Caiyou, treat your mother well and understand how difficult it is for her." Lan Jiaoyu sighed softly and patted Lan Caiyou on the shoulder, but hesitated to speak.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, then took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"Thank you."
Zhang Yu took out one and picked it up, and Mr. Zhao lit it for him.
