When Xia Jicheng was sent away in the second place, everyone in the second place was drunk. What about Zhao Zhiyong? I can only hide outside by myself, which can be described as "everyone is drunk and I wake up alone." Obviously, he can't go in, because he thinks that his tip-off led to Xia Jicheng being transferred. Unlike two people in a pub, who live aboveboard in the sun, Zhao Zhiyong can only hide in the dark.
In fact, from the dialogue between Xia Jicheng and Zhao Zhiyong in "Hidden and Great", Xia Ji realized that the tip-off letter was written by Zhao Zhiyong, but he wanted to give Zhao Zhiyong a chance, otherwise, he wouldn't go out to find Zhao Zhiyong.
At that time, Xia Jicheng said that Zhao Zhiyong and Gu Yaodong were very similar, but after all, they were two kinds of people. Because Zhao Zhiyong was better at sizing up the situation, Zhao Zhiyong was even more unprincipled and put interests first. It was precisely his personality that prevented him from being integrated into the second place, and there was no way to become a person like Gu Yaodong.
Xia Jicheng hoped that Zhao Zhiyong would get lost and become Gu Yaodong's arm, but Zhao Zhiyong, who was "everyone drunk and I woke up alone", could not really stay awake.
What kind of person is Zhao Zhiyong now? To put it bluntly, he is not a good person, but he is not a bad person. Zhao Zhiyong is extremely dissatisfied with his present life. He doesn't want to be a mediocre good man all his life, but he lacks the courage to be a bad man. This is a contradiction. I believe everyone can feel this feeling. After the trip to Moganshan, Zhao Zhiyong was in such a state.
In Hidden and Great, Xia Jicheng underestimated Zhao Zhiyong's desire. It can be said that I want to leave a helper for Gu Yaodong, but I ignore the dark side of Zhao Zhiyong's heart, which Zhao Zhiyong yearns for. He longs for love. The problem is that Miss Ding doesn't like him but likes Gu Yaodong, which makes Zhao Zhiyong hate Gu Yaodong.
He also has a desire for power. He hopes to be recognized by the police station, become a red man of the police station and be highly valued by others. In short, he wants something that doesn't belong to him. He never thinks that it is himself who is wrong and others who are wrong. This is the world, so he takes everything for granted. In his mind, Zhao Zhiyong thinks that what he wants to rob is his own, including Miss Ding, who has been extremely disgusted with him.
Now the new director Zhong is more difficult to deal with than director Wang. He is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Like Xia Jicheng, he pays special attention to Zhao Zhiyong. It turns out that Director Zhong is here to catch big fish. Gu Yaodong and Shen Qinghe are his main targets, and Zhao Zhiyong is the person he must use.
So, Director Zhong took the opportunity to approach Zhao Zhiyong, gained Zhao Zhiyong's trust, and he also got a tip-off as a threat. It can be said that carrot and stick will inevitably make Zhao Zhiyong gradually become his person.
Most importantly, Zhao Zhiyong is also eager for this kind of life, because Director Zhong will take advantage to seduce Zhao Zhiyong and do things against Gu Yaodong step by step. With Gu Yaodong's immature personality, it's too easy to be caught by Zhao Zhiyong.
Predictably, as director Zhong pressed Gu Yaodong and Shen Qinghe closer, the speed of Zhao Zhiyong blackening would be faster, which was determined by Zhao Zhiyong's human nature. He is a man, if there is no chance, Xia Jicheng will continue to be in the second place. He is willing to be an ordinary good man, to be bossed around by others, and to make friends with Gu Yaodong.
But if he sees an opportunity, even if he knows that the end of this opportunity is an abyss, he will not hesitate to seize this opportunity to escape from the present world, because what Zhao Zhiyong wants to do more is to assess the situation of the bad guys. By that time, what friendship between the two colleagues and what friendship with Gu Yaodong had been left behind by him. I guess, in the end, he will force Miss Ding to stay with himself, and the blackened Zhao Zhiyong just wants to please her.
So in the end, Zhao Zhiyong still didn't understand Xia Jicheng's words, or he did, but this "everyone was drunk and I woke up alone" Zhao Zhiyong was even more lost than a drunk person. He has chosen a direction for his life, which is beyond someone's control. Director Zhong only accelerated the blackening of Zhao Zhiyong, but did not change the direction of Zhao Zhiyong's life.
This is what Xia Jicheng said. Why is Zhao Zhiyong as kind and pure as Gu Yaodong different from Gu Yaodong? The deepest consciousness determines that Zhao Zhiyong can only go against Gu Yaodong, and no one can change it.
