Zhang Qiang and Li Dong never dreamed that after working hard for most of their lives, they would ultimately lose to Xu Ke.
If they had maintained their original passion when they first joined the company, they wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
Old Xu had given them opportunities before, more than once, but these two didn't cherish them and instead kept pushing their luck.
Xu Ke had long learned from Old Xu about the shady things these two had done before.
In fact, Old Xu had already gathered evidence early on, but the reason he hadn't acted against Zhang Qiang and Li Dong was due to old ties.
After all, these two were the contributors who fought along with Old Xu to build the empire; Old Xu didn't want to play out scenarios like those in history where the donkey is killed when the grinding is done. He didn't want others to say he disregarded old relationships and only cared about profit.
