My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1792: Fulfilling Everything
His sincere and indifferent gaze also showed that he did not despise himself because of his arrogant ambition.
The Councilman’s heart suddenly softened and warmed.
The thoughts he held, if expressed to anyone else, would be attacked and angrily questioned, considered despicable, and difficult to find any understanding. Yet to his surprise, this young man could understand and appreciate his ideals.
The Councilman’s emotions were complex. The Aus Empire, which he had personally transformed from a mid-lower-ranked country of more than a hundred in terms of economic and political power globally, had, through over thirty years of reform and iron-fisted policies, surged into one of the world’s leading powers.
More than thirty years ago, when he served as the Finance Minister of the Aus, it didn’t even dare to call itself an empire. But after decades of change and the efforts of the entire nation, it finally freed itself from the quagmire of economic backwardness and revived.
Over the years, he had poured so much of his heart and blood into it. He indeed loved power, but he also invested all his youth and energy into the dream of building the empire. Despite the initial reform policies being cursed and even threatened by many, they eventually led to gradual improvement and strength, turning the nation into an unignorable international power.
So how could he willingly hand over everything he had worked so hard to establish?
"Ling Kong, I really didn’t expect you to say such things. It seems that we are of the same kind and might even become the strongest political allies!" The Councilman became serious.
He looked deeply at this composed and proud young man, feeling that this child was truly an outstanding political talent.
Kind people cannot play with politics, nor play it well.
Only those who see things clearly and have enough ambition and resilience are worth nurturing. Compared to the younger generation in the family, this person was not just a little superior.
"Father, I am willing to accept your invitation to form an alliance!" Ji Lingkong smiled with immense confidence.
The Councilman was somewhat dissatisfied, as this young man had seen through much about him, yet he seemed unable to see through Ji Lingkong. At least for now, he didn’t know what Ji’s goal was.
"So, what is your goal?"
Ji Lingkong was taken aback, and his gaze became somewhat bewildered.
"I don’t know."
The Councilman was shocked, never expecting such an answer from his mouth. Such a clever and highly capable person was clueless about his goals.
How could one not know? As long as there are desires and things one wants, there should be goals and passions to strive for.
Not knowing, does it mean he’s unclear about what he truly wants, so bewildered and even empty?
The Councilman couldn’t help but recall when Ling Kong was brought back, his presence so silent it was almost like air, and those empty eyes appeared as if the most important thing in the world had been lost, so nothing could move his heart.
And when he said he wanted to erase his memory, he was just as indifferent.
This child’s heart has a void!
"Then why do you want to help me?"
"Because you are my father for now, and my family is most important. I am willing to live for the important people in my heart, to help them achieve everything!" Ji Lingkong smiled slightly and gently closed his eyes.
Yes, in fact, he does not care about power and desire; those things do not seem important to him.
He only knows he needs to live for others to realize his own worth, as long as the people he values are happy, then he will be happy.
