Chapter 1003: Face Yourself

When Cao Ziyi returned to Zhao Tiezhu's room, she had an extra drawing board in her hand. Zhao Tiezhu looked at Cao Ziyi in surprise and said, "Ziyi, you don't really want to draw for me, do you?"

"Of course." Cao Ziyi nodded with a smile and said, "We have nothing to do anyway."

"Well... if you want something to do, you can do it." Zhao Tiezhu said shyly.

"for example?"

"For example, let's talk about life, talk about ideals, and then study mechanics and piston motion. Anyway, there are still many things that can be done in the room!" Zhao Tiezhu said.

"Haha." Cao Ziyi smiled and did not answer Zhao Tiezhu's words. Instead, she set up the drawing board and then sat in front of the drawing board with several pencils.

"Should I put on makeup first?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

"No need, I'll sketch." Cao Ziyi said and started moving on the drawing board.

Zhao Tiezhu seemed a little at a loss for a moment.

"Brother Tiezhu, I have to go to class!" Li Ling'er opened the door and walked in. He saw Zhao Tiezhu sitting on the bed with a tangled look on his face, while Cao Ziyi was sitting in front of the drawing board. He said a little surprised, "Brother Tiezhu, What are you doing?"

"Ziyi said she wanted to paint for me." Zhao Tiezhu said shyly.

"Oh, it's so romantic!" Li Ling'er looked at Zhao Tiezhu with envy, "Isn't this the plot of Titanic? Jack also drew pictures for Rose!"

"The painting they painted was about taking off their clothes. How can I compare with them?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

"But the essence is still the same!" Li Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Didn't someone say these days, you have to imitate Edison Chen and bring a camera into the house? Brother Tiezhu, you are more retro and just use sketches, hehe laugh."

"Ling'er, I find that you are getting more and more bold!" Zhao Tiezhu looked sideways at the frustrated Li Ling'er and said, "Believe it or not, my brother has done to you what Teacher Chen likes to do now?"

"Oh, it's better not to do that. Brother Tiezhu, you and Sister Ziyi can have a good romance. I'm going to class!" Li Ling'er chuckled and left Zhao Tiezhu's room. Zhao Tiezhu sat helplessly on the bed with his back against the wall. superior.

"What agreement did you reach with the bandits yesterday?" Cao Ziyi suddenly asked.

"It's nothing. He just wants to buy goods from me. He originally planned to give me something in exchange, but I didn't ask for his things. I just let him take goods from me for free." Zhao Tiezhu said.

Cao Ziyi smiled and said, "Well done. A route to sell goods in exchange for favors from the king of the southern underworld. This is a very good deal."

"Of course." Zhao Tiezhu said with a proud smile, "Now, to be honest, I am no longer short of money. The property I manage every day is worth a fortune, so why do I need such a small thing? Seriously, if we honor his favor, if something happens, we might be able to use the banner of banditry to scare people. That would be great."

"It's just that the bandit is not a simple person." Cao Ziyi said, "When you are dealing with him, you must not underestimate him."

"It's a joke. I despise no one and I can't despise him!" Zhao Tiezhu said sternly, "Being able to blow up and escape from the country under the nose of the National Security Bureau is a great skill in itself. You can still live happily abroad. When the water rises, you can even conquer a large territory. This is simply something that a god can do. I admire bandits very much. "

"Well, now the Northeast King Zhao Baobao is getting more and more restless. Mr. Zhao hopes that you can stabilize your position in the south. It is best to expand your snobbery outwards. As long as your expansion here is strong enough, then We can check and balance each other with Zhao Baobao in the north, so that the arrogance of those in the Zhao family who rely on Zhao Baobao will not be as arrogant as they are now. "

"Work hard." Zhao Tiezhu sighed, "I am still in one province now. After all, the underworld is not in ancient times. It can easily dominate the south and the north. Nowadays, there are more activities to play in the underworld. It’s the resources and the background, and the government won’t sit back and let me grow bigger. The pressure on me now comes from many aspects. Here in the south, the bandits will definitely not let me grow enough to threaten him. Even though we are very cooperative now. Well, he still owes me a favor. When I can really threaten him, he will definitely not be merciful! In the north, there is also pressure from Zhao Baobao. Zhao Baobao is not stupid. He is sure of Mr. Zhao’s ideas. I can know, so I can be sure that the current Zhao Baobao will definitely find a way to suppress or even kill me in the Blood Soul Hall. Zhao Kunlun in the previous stage was just Zhao Baobao's first step to test me, and there will definitely be follow-up moves later. Yes, as well as Qian Sun, Li Zhouji and everyone, these can bring pressure to me. After all, they were the ones who jointly drove me out of China back then. If I become bigger and stronger, my first enemy will be them, and no one can It's really sad to sit back and watch my development without caring about it. It seems that I have offended all the powerful people in China!"

"But you also have an advantage." Cao Ziyi said, "Your advantage is that you can face yourself more seriously than anyone else!"

"I have always thought that I am just an ordinary person. At best, I have better luck and work harder, and then I have everything I have now, but these things are all empty. People can only sleep on a bed. After death, It’s just a few square meters, if you treat yourself too much, then you really are not a plaything.”

"You have another biggest advantage!" Cao Ziyi said seriously, "There are many people who support you, including Mr. Zhao, Secretary Zhang Yihuang, and uncles and aunts. The support of Mr. Zhao alone is enough to intimidate most people. As long as you are alive, no one dares to confront you head-on, and no one has the courage to challenge Mr. Zhao's bottom line. No one in Shenzhou can fully bear the consequences of Mr. Zhao's anger!"

"That's right." Zhao Tiezhu smiled proudly, "The main branch of our old Zhao family has always produced outstanding figures."

"Does it include you?" Cao Ziyi asked with a smile.

"Of course, the outstanding figures are still to be seen today!" Zhao Tiezhu stretched and said to Cao Ziyi, "What, are you done with the painting?"

"It's done." Cao Ziyi nodded, took the drawing paper off the drawing board, and handed it to Zhao Tiezhu.

Zhao Tiezhu looked at it and said in surprise, "What...what is this? Why does it look so much like a turtle?"

"This is a black tortoise." Cao Ziyi couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed, "This is an abstract painting."

"Ziyi, you have become bad too!" Zhao Tiezhu looked at Cao Ziyi with resentment on his face.
