On Our Wedding Night, You're Rolling in Bed with Your White Moonlight; Why Are You Crying Now That I'm Leaving?

A decade of deep affection was misplaced. Lu Zheng gave up invitations from top tech companies to dedicate himself to supporting Jiang Li'er's family business. However, on the eve of the Ne...

Chapter 173 The Egg Caught in the Middle

Lu Zheng knew that Manager Chen would definitely seek help from Zhou Heng after they left.

He has to make this call.

When he did this to Lu Zheng, he intended to crush him in one fell swoop. Manager Chen felt that without this money, Lu Zheng would be cut off from his future. If he couldn't come up with the money for the things that required his investment, he would definitely be finished.

He didn't actually know how much money Lu Zheng had in his account, nor did he know that Lu Zheng dared to gamble with his own money, betting half of it on the company. The boss certainly wouldn't dare to take the risk at this time.

Although it might save the company, the distribution of profits will become unclear. If they can't handle things with the bank, it would be like throwing that billion yuan into everyone's hands.

It was precisely because of these reasons that he dared to pull such a stunt on Lu Zheng.

He felt that his move was so ruthless that even a god couldn't withstand it.

But to my surprise, they weren't flustered.

But he wouldn't dare to offend Zhou Heng directly.

He knew very well what kind of person Zhou Heng was; he could easily take his life.

Lu Zheng was now waiting to see if Zhou Heng would give the manager a chance.

Lu Zheng knew very well that an old fox like Zhou Heng would definitely consider things very thoroughly and meticulously, so it was highly unlikely that he would directly use the bank to attack them like he did today.

Doing this is a complete waste of time.

However, if it's used as a way to test one's abilities, then it's the best approach.

Seeing Lu Zheng fidgeting with his chin in thought, Mingxiang blinked her bright, watery eyes at him.

A moment later, Mingxiang asked Lu Zheng, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "I'm thinking about how Zhou Heng will deal with the manager."

Mingxiang laughed and said, "He will definitely not agree, but he will put the manager in a dilemma. The manager will have no choice but to find another way to make a living, using the loans of our company's other partners as a starting point."

"good."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, you've got the same idea as me."

Although Lu Zheng's collaborators were all very loyal to him, this was a matter of life and death.

Even if Mingxiang and Luzheng put all their money into making changes, it will still be a bit of a struggle.

Those business owners didn't dare to gamble either.

Since Manager Chen was in a lose-lose situation anyway, this desperate measure might be a way to save himself.

Mingxiang smiled and said, "It seems I'll have to trouble Grandpa."

Lu Zheng asked, "Are we going to see Grandpa?"

Ming Xiang rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng: "You still want to turn the tide by yourself?"

If Lu Zheng does have the ability, it would definitely waste some time and be quite troublesome if he handled it himself.

However, with the old man's help and his connections, it became very easy to handle.

Mingxiang knew Lu Zheng's concerns and smiled, "Grandpa has always thought highly of you. When you go to see Grandpa this time, he won't think that you're in big trouble and ask others for help. On the contrary, he'll think that you're not fussy about details."

Although it was Zhou Heng's test, if Zhou Heng pushed the bank manager to the brink, the manager might very well bite back at Lu Zheng and his group.

Now, going to the old man is a good way to have a good argument with them.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Not long after, Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang met the old man.

Lu Zheng smiled and reached out to help the old man plant vegetables, water them, and fertilize them.

The old man looked at Lu Zheng in surprise: "You can do this too?"

He had always had a special appreciation for Lu Zheng.

Now that Lu Zheng has done this, the old man is even more curious.

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Grandpa, when I was little, I lived with my sister. We were born in the mountains, and we had to do many things ourselves. I know how to feed pigs, raise ducks, and grow vegetables."

"Well done!" The old man laughed heartily. "Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, Grandpa truly admires you. Tell Grandpa, is there anything you can't do?"

Lu Zheng has it all: mechanics, programming, business acumen, and vision.

The old man already knows about how he helped Xia Linyu deal with Xia Ruo.

He was full of praise after hearing it.

They said things like Lu Zheng was an extraordinary person.

After all, Lu Zheng was able to remain fearless in the face of Xia Ruo's threats and intimidation, and even turn the tide against him, giving that arrogant foreigner a resounding slap in the face. It was quite satisfying.

The old man admired people who could settle scores quickly and decisively.

He had high hopes for Lu Zheng.

Excellent, excellent!

When I retire, I can do what he did, grow a small vegetable garden, and live a rural life. How wonderful that would be!

People all over the world are scrambling to move to the city, living in those cramped, towering buildings, looking glamorous every day, but actually experiencing no happiness whatsoever.

Conversely, in the countryside, having a piece of land to grow food and drink not only improves physical health but also brings mental well-being.

He likes it this way.

Putting down his work, the old man said, "Alright, kid, that's enough work for today. Come on, come inside with me. Let's have a chat. You and Mingxiang didn't come here just to eat meat, drink wine, grow vegetables, and chat about random things."

The old man was incredibly kind to Lu Zheng, and immediately put his arm around his shoulder.

They really do look like a grandfather and grandson.

There was absolutely no sign of awkwardness between them despite being from different generations.

After the two sat down inside, the old man asked Mingxiang to cut up some pig's head meat and pour two ounces of wine, just like last time, and said, "Come on, you two, tell me what's going on."

Lu Zheng nodded. Now that he was completely relaxed, he told the old man what they had anticipated.

Grandpa Ming nodded and said, "Zhou Heng came to see me before, but I gave him vague answers and got rid of him."

He paused for a moment and then said, "But I guessed back then that he wouldn't give up easily, and just as I thought, this guy really is going to continue."

Lu Zheng said, "He wants Mingxiang to marry into their family."

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, Mingxiang's vision is not only admired by them, but I myself think my granddaughter has a very shrewd eye. If she goes to the Zhou family, it will be a great thing for Zhou Heng."

The Zhou family needs this if they want to grow.

Another point is that the old man's identity is not simple. If he really loses his temper, even the Xia family will have to give him some leeway.

The old man was simply indifferent to worldly affairs and just wanted to live a peaceful life.

Those worldly things meant nothing to him.

But for the Zhou family, if Mingxiang were to marry into their family, it would be like a meteoric rise to power.
