The weather has been getting cooler lately, and Shen Jiayi has become less and less inclined to go out. She has stayed at home for several days in a row without going out. She was lying on the sofa, leisurely watching a movie, when suddenly Lu Huixin pushed the door open and came in from the outside.

"Jiayi, have you seen your brother these past two days?" Lu Huixin sat down next to her and asked anxiously.

Shen Jiayi, focused on the screen, replied indifferently, "Didn't you see him? Isn't he always out fooling around? Do you need to talk to him?"

Lu Huixin said anxiously, "It's not me looking for him. Your grandfather called and asked him to go to the old house. I can't get in touch with him."

Shen Jiayi looked up in surprise and asked, "Grandpa, what do you want with him?"

Lu Huixin, while making a phone call, said, "How would I know?"

Shen Jiayi seemed to be thinking about something, so she pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.

Meanwhile, in a hotel in Shenjia Town, City A, two people were lying naked on the bed in the most luxurious suite.

Ye Ling placed one hand on Shen Yu's chest and drew circles, saying in a sweet voice, "President Shen, you must keep your word."

Shen Yu smiled and patted her smooth, delicate back, saying confidently, "Don't worry, once the Ye family falls, the Shen family will definitely acquire it. I'll have Grandpa give the Ye family to me then, and he won't say anything."

The Shen family didn't take the Ye family seriously at all.

Ye Ling smiled sweetly: "Then I'll thank President Chen in advance."

Shen Yu looked down at her, then suddenly turned her face to look at it, and said with slight regret, "Why did you do something to your perfectly good face? You don't look as good as before."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling smiled somewhat reluctantly: "I was just a little insecure, that's why I used the knife."

Shen Yu didn't listen to what she was saying at all, and suddenly asked, "By the way, where's your sister?"

Ye Ling was stunned, then said, "She's long gone, who knows where she is? Does President Shen need to see her?"

Shen Yu smiled and said, "I think she's quite good-looking, it's a pity."

Ye Ling's smiling face instantly fell, but she didn't say anything more.

...

The Shen family's old residence was unusually lively today.

It was rare for Chen Du to return in the afternoon; he accompanied the old man to entertain guests in the living room.

The guests who came today all came from City C, the place where the Shen family made their fortune. Moreover, the elders of these guests had all helped the old man to varying degrees, so he attached great importance to these guests.

Grandpa Shen looked at the guests and smiled kindly: "How are Old Song and Old Guan feeling? Are they alright?"

The middle-aged man sitting next to him smiled and said, "Dad and Uncle Guan are in good health, but the journey is long and tiring, so they couldn't come."

The old man smiled and said, "As long as they're healthy, that's fine. When they were young..."

Older people tend to reminisce about the past, and Chen Du was already used to it, but the young people were not impatient at all, and listened quietly to the old man talking about the past.

One of the girls was pretty and delicate-looking, with bright eyes and white teeth. She would occasionally chime in with a few words, making the old man laugh heartily. They chatted for a while until he looked tired, at which point Chen Du had someone take him to rest.

"Grandpa's health has been deteriorating in recent years. Sitting for an afternoon is already his limit. I hope you can forgive him."

Song Shuyi's gaze fell on Shen Du, listening to his conversation with her father while discreetly observing him.

"Nephew, you're too kind. I've heard about what happened to Uncle Shen a few years ago. Right now, it's most important for him to take care of his health."

"Uncle Song is right."

Song Zhou looked Chen Du up and down, a faint smile on his face, and said, "A Du is truly young and promising, making us older folks feel ashamed of ourselves."

Chen Du said slowly, "I was just lucky. Uncle Song, you flatter me."

It was just some polite remark; everyone just listened to it.

The two chatted for a while before Songzhou gradually got down to business.

"Actually, we came here on important business."

Shen Du timely said, "Uncle Song, please speak. We will not refuse to help in any way that the Shen family can."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhou turned to look at Song Shuyi before speaking, "It's like this, as you know, our Song family has always been in the transportation industry. Recently, we've been looking to expand our business, and after considering various factors, we think City A is the most suitable."

Chen Du frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What does Uncle Song mean?"

Song Zhou smiled with a hint of embarrassment. Seeing this, Song Shuyi replied directly, "I wonder if it would be convenient for President Shen to clear a path for us?"

After saying that, he added, "We don't want to trouble Mr. Shen with anything else. It's just that we're new to City A and don't know much about things here. If Mr. Shen is willing to use our company, our situation might be better."

In fact, the Song family's project has been going on for a long time, but because they are outsiders, even though they have surpassed many companies in terms of transportation, they are still rejected and have been unable to enter the market for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Chen Du frowned and replied, "That's not difficult, but I'm not sure if you're sure you want to arrange the project here?"

Song Zhou nodded and said, "To be honest, we've been working on this project for quite a while now, but... maybe it's because we're from out of town, so we don't have much business."

Chen Du understands that if a company expands outwards, it must build good relationships with the locals; otherwise, the company will find it difficult to move forward.

The Shen family's status in City A is self-evident; if they are willing to use the Song family, then others will too.

This matter is not difficult for Shen Du, and the Song and Guan families took good care of the old man when they were in City C, so it is only right to do something for them.

Seeing that Shen Du did not refuse, the smiles on the father and daughter's faces deepened.

"My daughter is currently in charge of this project. We will need to trouble you, my dear nephew, to help her more in the future. Our Song family will be extremely grateful."

Chen Du glanced at Song Shuyi and quickly said, "Uncle Song, you're too kind. It's all my pleasure."

After finishing the business, the Guan family members changed the subject. They were just there to accompany the Song family, invited by them, and their original intention was to help the Song family reach an agreement on this matter.

The Song family was in a much better mood after they finished discussing things, and the atmosphere naturally warmed up. Chen Du listened patiently to them, occasionally interjecting a word or two.

Not long after, they took their leave, and despite Chen Du and Steward Liu's repeated attempts to persuade them to stay, they did not stay.

...

After Jiang Che left, Jiang Ze became much more unruly than before, which gave Ye Zhao a real headache.

Early this morning, he was going to take Yuanbao out for a dog walk again. Ye Zhao was worried, so she asked Xiao Lin to go with them. However, after only half an hour, the three of them came back covered in mud.

"Uncle Aze said the scumbag could jump over, but Uncle Lin wouldn't let him. But the scumbag still jumped, and then we all fell into the ditch."

Ye Zhao was giving Yuanbao a bath while listening to his chattering.

The phone that was lying to the side suddenly rang. Ye Zhao saw that it was an unknown number and didn't answer it, but it rang again, so she had no choice but to answer the phone.

"Hello, are you Ye Feng's daughter, Ye Zhao?"

Ye Zhao paused for a moment, then didn't answer.

The voice on the other end sounded extremely anxious: "Your father suffered a brain hemorrhage and is in the hospital, undergoing emergency treatment..."
