    At that moment, Steve cast a brief nce at Charlie Wade and remarked, “There’s an old saying in China: flies don’t bite seamless eggs. If you have numerous loopholes and weaknesses, it’s only natural for others to take advantage of you. Remember, the errors you’ve made are not just moral failures; they have legal implications as well.”<fn41d3> Checktest chapters at find{n}ovel</fn41d3>


    This statement deepened the somber atmosphere in the room. Steve’s words indicated that he was not going to support them.


    Turning his attention to Knight, Steve added, “Knight, as a leader, it’s notmendable to resort to such tactics to control your staff. I advise you to avoid this in the future.”


    Knight was taken aback by Steve’s polite tone and his ssification of the issue as a dual problem of morality and legality. Steve’s acknowledgment of Knight’s behavior as unglorious made him feel overwhelmingly excited. He quickly responded, “You’re absolutely right, Mr. Rothschild! I will be mindful moving forward and will never engage in such disgraceful actions again!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Indeed,” Steve replied with a gentle nod, looking at him with genuine sincerity. “Knight, I have great admiration for you. If you can broaden your perspective a bit and reduce the opportunities for criticism, your future in the American judicial system—and even in politics—could be boundless.”


    Knight’s eyes widened in surprise and delight. “Mr. Rothschild… Do you… really believe that?”


    Steve affirmed with a nod, “Honestly, many of the most sessful politicians in the United States arewyers. You have a significant innate advantage in that regard. Moreover, no one understands how to navigate or manipte thew better thanwyers. This is a powerful tool in your arsenal. Given your impressive achievements in the legal field, why not elevate your perspective and aim higher rather than focusing downward?”


    Knight inquired cautiously, “Mr. Rothschild, what do you mean by that?”


    Steve exined, “What I’m saying is that you have the potential to seek broader horizons and a brighter future. Yet, you mistakenly concentrate on your employees, trying to bind them to you as if they were ves. You remind me of a 19th-century farmer who exploited ck ves—holding a gun to ensure they don’t escape, while never considering that if he pointed that gun outward, he could seize opportunities to expand his territory and multiply his resources significantly.”


    Upon hearing this, Knight grasped Steve’s message and felt a wave of shame wash over him. “Mr. Rothschild, you’re right; I shouldn’t confine my vision to my employees…”


    Steve nodded and continued, “I have a solid solution for this situation, but it’s ultimately your choice whether to implement it.”


    Knight, feeling ttered, replied, “Please, go ahead, Mr. Rothschild!”


    Steve suggested, “These individuals have already distanced themselves from you. The likelihood of effectively utilizing them again is minimal. Instead, why not have them assist with other tasks? You could return to the United States with your board members and strategize on how to advance. Meanwhile, these individuals can remain in China to assist me; I am in need ofwyers here. In the future, both sides can maintain mutual respect across the ocean and avoid causing trouble for one another. What do you think?”


    Knight didn’t hesitate; his thoughts were consumed by Steve’s mention of pursuing the next level. The others felt a sense of relief as Steve began to advocate for them, indicating that he wanted mutual respect and no interference, which also implied that Knight couldn’t use the evidence against them.


    After Steve finished his proposal, he turned to Knight and asked, “Knight, what are your thoughts on my suggestion?”


    Knight responded, “Mr. Rothschild, since you’ve proposed it, I have no objections. Let them stay here to assist you. As long as they perform well for you, I won’t create any difficulties for them.”


    Steve nodded in agreement, saying, “Then it’s settled. I’ll have Jimmy select ten individuals from among them to stay in Jinling and assist me moving forward. If that poses any inconvenience for you, I can cover their sries.”


    Knight quickly interjected, “No, no, no, Mr. Rothschild! How can you take on their sries? I will handle that!”
