"I know this puts you in a tough spot, so I won't insist," Song Yun said with a shrug. "I've laid it all out for you, what do you think? Can you give me a definite answer?"
"But if I move up a step," Wang Dong pondered for a moment and asked, "someone will replace my position down here, right? At that point, wouldn't you get nothing from me?"
"That's for the benefit of the Li Family. The person who takes over your position will be someone from the outer circle of the Li Family. Even if you move up, won't your people still listen to you? Ever heard of 'rank crushes the bold'?"
Seeing Wang Dong still looking conflicted, Song Yun could only spread his hands in frustration and say, "It's all up to you now, whether you board this ship or stay ashore. Just remember, there are many others who need this opportunity."
Wang Dong clenched his fists, thought for a long while, and then reached out his hand, saying, "Pleasure doing business."
