Chen Rou couldn't tell the old man that her ghost came from the future.

She was quite interested in his large ashtray, and when they arrived at the Nie's company building, she asked, "Who gave you this?"

Before getting on the elevator, Liang Lisheng intended to throw the thing away.

But because Chen Rou asked, he continued to maintain his composure.

There was nothing to be embarrassed about. He said, "The person is at my house today. It's Secretary An's cousin, An Jing. But the gift wasn't sent by him. It was sent by Guo Xiaobai, the guy who's recently become famous in Hong Kong."

Suddenly remembering something, he added, "Third Aunt, my leg is so badly affected by gout that it's impossible for me to come out of the mountains again, let alone have any second thoughts about my brother who has risked his life for me. If you doubt this, I can only disembowel myself to prove it."

There is more than one wealthy family in Hong Kong, and they are intertwined and mutually restraining in business.

It's like this: there are many well-known large enterprises, and Han Yuzhu owns original shares in them. They are not competitors with the Nie family, but rather partners, mutually benefiting each other. Whatever business there is, they will assign it to your family to do, and he will do it. It's an industrial cluster, and the profits are distributed by the person in charge.

Generally speaking, as long as the person in charge doesn't favor anyone or want to get rid of someone and promote their own people, no one will cause trouble.

The Nie family was only fiercely competitive internally, but in terms of coordinating business distribution, it was relatively peaceful in both Chen Rou's life and this life, of course, because Nie Zhao eventually came to power.

The foundation was laid by his mother. Mei Lu infiltrated for twenty years. The difficulty wasn't killing people, but always seizing power.

Because people admire Nie Zhao's mother, Han Yuzhu, not her.

In their past lives, at this time, both Nie Rong and Liang Lisheng would have already gone to meet the King of Hell, and there would be no changes. But now it's different. Because of his leap, Nie Rong has been effectively imprisoned in his mother's grave by Nie Zhao. Now he's too embarrassed to even ask to go home.

Regardless of Liang Lisheng's own feelings after being retired, his wife, Ms. Qiao, was clearly unhappy.

Based on Chen Rou's limited business knowledge, Secretary An has a chubby cousin who is currently doing business with a young man surnamed Guo from mainland China who has made a name for himself in the stock market.

The middle-aged man she saw when she stormed into the Liang family was An Jing.

Although Liang Lisheng has been sidelined by Nie Zhao, his commercial value is immeasurable. So, the young man surnamed Guo, nicknamed Guo Xiaobai, who came to win him over was probably offering him a high salary to let him make use of his remaining influence.

Chen Rou could tell that while Mrs. Liang was receiving guests, Liang Lisheng was smoking in the backyard, clearly indicating that he didn't want to do anything for them.

But since Chen Rou came to his door and bumped into him, Liang Lisheng naturally had to distance himself from the situation.

He was ousted from the center of power, but after what happened with Nie Yao, he could no longer harbor any disloyalty towards Nie Zhao.

The two had already taken the elevator to the rooftop while they were talking.

On the way there, Liang Lisheng called Wade's office and asked him to send someone to bring up the keys and a map of the sea sand plant.

But when they got to the rooftop, not to mention the key and map, the rooftop door was locked.

Liang Lisheng gestured for Chen Rou to calm down and then made a phone call to Wade.

Before the other person could speak, he put one hand on his hip and shouted, "Third Aunt is with me, why don't you talk to her?"

After he hung up the phone, Wade arrived in person within a minute: "Third Mrs., I didn't expect it to be you."

Upon seeing that there was no driver, he immediately said, "My skills are average, but if it's not a long distance, I can give it a try."

Liang Lisheng reached for the keys and map: "Thanks, Wade, but today, Third Sister wants to drive herself, and..."

He turned around and smiled: "The plants in my office need watering, please!"

Wade smiled and said, "Okay, Vice Chairman Liang."

Limping yet full of vigor, Liang Lisheng climbed up to the rooftop, walked to the helicopter, and laboriously climbed up again. He unlocked the cockpit, placed the map on the instrument panel, gritted his teeth, took a breath, and jumped down: "Third Aunt, please!"

As soon as he saw Chen Rou get into the driver's seat and put on her helmet, Wade quickly took out his phone.

But Chen Rou raised her hand to her mouth and said one word: "Shh!"

Wade, understanding the unspoken message, raised his hands and said, "Take care on your journey, Third Sister."

Although Liang Lisheng was limping and thrashing around like an old dog, he went exactly where he wanted to go. After getting into the passenger seat, he turned around and said, "Thanks, Wade, bye!"

Just like the power struggle between Nie Rong and Nie Zhao, the same applies to the power struggle between Liang Lisheng and Wade.

In fact, Wade is much more shrewd than Leung Lee-sang, because Wade holds a high stake in all of Nie Zhao's current investments in various emerging electronic industries. So even though his annual salary is not high, in the future, he is likely to surpass other wealthy families in Hong Kong and become the person who makes a fortune quietly and the richest.

But he is low-key and humble, and incredibly meticulous in his work.

Liang Lisheng suffered a miserable life following Nie Rong, with all the benefits going to his relatives. He himself didn't get much. His sons also needed Nie Zhao's support. Once he retired, he was even forced to smoke in the backyard. It was truly a miserable life.

But he has a natural inclination to win in a physical sense. Just like now, he could have simply told Wade that his mother was here and to hurry up and deliver the keys, but he didn't. He wanted to make Wade anxious.

Now, relying on his connections, Gao is deliberately trying to put Wade in a superior position.

Chen Rouquan saw it all, but said nothing.

The old man has been feeling quite stifled, so let him have some fun.

Chen Rou and her team mostly fly fighter jets during training, rather than agricultural and commercial helicopters like these.

Opening the map, she first needed to determine the location of the sea sand plant and the air routes, and plan how to get there.

Moreover, most of the old things these days are operated manually, which can't compare to the idiot-proof systems of the future, so she still has to familiarize herself with the control panel again.

If Liang Lisheng hadn't spent a month smoking in the backyard, from his wife's constant bickering and arguing to his daughter-in-law's disdain, and then even his grandsons' lack of respect for him, he really wouldn't have dared to take the risk with Chen Rou.

But as soon as she started the engine and pressed the dashboard button, she said, "This should be the lights."

Suddenly, the helicopter's large windshield wipers started up.

She immediately added, "I'm sorry, but the English text on it has all been worn away, so I have to try it one by one."

After trying another one, he said, "This should be an airborne radar."

Then there was a loud bang outside; it turned out to be a horn.

Chen Rou finally found the radar and frowned: "It's a manual knob type, and it's separate from the microphone?"

So she can't even distinguish between the simplest things on the instrument panel, like radar and horn, yet she wants to fly a plane?

Liang Lisheng fastened his seatbelt and said with a wry smile, "I understand female drivers."

He figured he'd rather die than leave Third Wife alone; he felt he and his ashtray were unlikely to land safely today.
