Chapter 4942 (Four Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Two) Good Enough

“I can understand it, but so what?” asked the man with gray hands.

“As long as I find out that the other party’s power has weakened, I… will most likely… stay away from that person… and then… stay away from that person. At the same time… I can get closer to other people with greater power.” said the man.

“What you mean is that no matter what your original relationship with a person is, when that person’s power decreases, you are very likely to stay away from that person?” said the man with gray hands.

“Yes.” The man said, “Actually…actually this…this can be considered a way to survive…Otherwise…what else can we do?”

The Gray Hand Man said, “I’m talking about a person who has a good relationship with you. Do you think this kind of relationship is considered a good relationship with you?”

That person said: “It can be considered that I have a good relationship with… that person.”

“When the other party’s power becomes weaker, your relationship with them becomes distant. Does that mean you have a good relationship with them?”

“Well, in the past… when the other party was more powerful… the relationship was good.” The man replied.

The Gray Hand Man said, “You said that the good or bad relationship between you and the other party is actually a reflection of the size of the other party’s power?”

The man had never thought about this carefully before, but after hearing what the Gray Hand said, he felt that this was the case, so he said, “You can say that.”

The Gray Hand said, “Actually, the relationship isn’t that good.”

That person said, “This is good enough. I am… I live in a place like Tiecangting… It’s not easy to survive in this environment… It’s not easy to be ‘good’ to others… Like what I said, even if… even if it’s good enough, it’s already… already good enough.”

“You are such a person, do you think others are the same?” the Gray Hand Man asked. “Yeah… most people should be like that… it’s all the same anyway.” The man said, “Who wants to make things difficult for themselves? No… standing on the side of the powerful can give you some relief, but… standing on the side of the weak will only make things difficult for you. Even if you don’t make things difficult for yourself, it’s not easy to survive in Tiecang Ting… if you make things difficult for yourself… then… it will be even more troublesome.”

The Gray Hand asked again: “You just emphasized to me that you have a good relationship with that person, not that that person has a good relationship with you. Why do you emphasize this?”

“This… this is… In fact, many things are my choices… The initiative is in my hands… I… don’t want the initiative to be in the hands of others.” said the man.

“But, whether the relationship between two people is good or bad, isn’t it a matter of both sides?” asked the man with gray hands.

“You are right.” The man thought for a moment and said.

“When you have a close relationship with someone because of his power, do you think the other party will think that they have a good relationship with you?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“I… I’m not sure, but… but I can try my best.” said the man.

“How hard?” asked the Gray Hand Man.

“That is… when the other party is powerful… understand their preferences… try your best… try your best to make the other party feel that I have a good relationship with them.” said the man.

Gray Hand said: “Can you always make the other party really feel this way?”

“Well…I can’t really explain it.” The man said, “Just take it as it is.”
