“Weiwei, I can agree to anything else, but not this. It’s too dangerous. I don’t want you to be in danger.”

“But you’ll be in danger too.” Lin Wei wasn’t unreasonable. “I know I might get in the way, but Shen Jize, promise me you’ll take good care of yourself and call me every day so I know you’re safe.”

Seeing that Lin Wei did not insist, Shen Jize breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, Weiwei, I promise you."

After handing over his work to Lin Wei, Shen Jize took a plane and left early the next morning.

Two days later, in the port city.

As soon as I got off the plane, a group of men in black came to greet me.

"Second Master, the Master is waiting for you at home."

Shen Jize ignored the other party and got into the car arranged by his own people, but the car was heading in the direction of the old house where the last family dinner had been held.

As soon as the door opened, before Shen Jize even entered the room, a white coffee cup was thrown at his feet.

'Bang'

Shen Jize glanced at him once, then at the old man, before turning and leaving.

Old Master Shen originally wanted to give the other party a hard time, but he didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn. Now he was the one who got angry. "You wretched child, you wretched child, what kind of talk is it to just leave like that?"

"You almost threw that cup at Second Master."

"He did something monstrous, and I'm not even allowed to get angry?" Old Master Shen pointed to the door, his hands trembling with rage. "I thought he was a sensible person, but he caused such a huge commotion. Look what happened to Qingji; he almost lost his life."

His subordinates advised, "But it was Master Ji who provoked Master Er. To be honest, you don't really like Master Ji. Master Ji is no match for Master Er. Why do you keep helping Master Ji? If this goes on for a few more times, Master Er will really lose your support."

Old Master Shen sighed, "Do you think I don't know? It's just that Ji Ze is still inexperienced and does things too ruthlessly. If we don't train him, he'll suffer the consequences later."

"But Second Master doesn't understand your good intentions. All he sees is you helping Master Ji against him."

Shen Jize snorted and said to Zhuang Zhihao, "Those are all high-sounding words, said to outsiders to create his image as a benevolent father. To put it bluntly, he supported Shen Qingji in order to deal with me. He doesn't want me to develop and overshadow him, but his children are all useless, and he can't bear to see the Shen family fall. So he trains me while looking for a successor he is satisfied with."

“Shen Qingji is currently in a weak position, and he is helping Shen Qingji and valuing me, but what if I were in a weak position? Moreover, this help and valuing are not very genuine. I am not the woman by his side, nor am I one of those young girls who think I will forgive him just because he plays the emotional card?”

That's wishful thinking.

“But Shen Qingji handled this matter well. I was just worried about not finding an excuse to go back to Hong Kong. If possible, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to resolve this together.”

Zhuang Zhihao took a sip of wine, frowned and said, "Is it for the Yuanyu project? But the Yuanyu area has been quite turbulent lately, and with Old Master Shen involved, I don't recommend that you rashly participate in the Yuanyu Phase III project."

"Who said I was going to participate in the Yuanyu Phase III project?"

He had already inquired with Lin Wei about the project in its initial stages and learned that reclamation projects to build islands near Gangcheng were simply not feasible.

The failure to succeed is secondary; the real issue was that everyone lost a lot of money because the scale of the operation was too large, so this wasn't what he wanted to do at all.

Zhuang Zhihao glanced at Shen Jize and instantly understood.

“If you don’t touch drugs, then you’re eyeing his military gang. That batch of goods is huge, and if you get your hands on it, you can make a lot of money. With his family’s background… are you planning to cooperate? If so, count me in.”

Zhuang Zhihao had been planning this for a long time, but they were simply ignored.

After all, the younger generation was already in charge of the Shen and Zhuang families, but the older generation was still in charge of the Jiang family's branch.

The older generation is very particular about relationships and honors, and they don't give face to people across generations, so it's really difficult to break through that barrier.

"You've found a breakthrough?"

“The Jiang family wants to give their younger generation some experience, so they entrusted this matter to their third son. His third son loves to speculate in stocks and real estate, and coincidentally, all of these are projects I've worked on. Almost all of their wealth is in these projects. If they don't agree... even if they sell all of these assets, it won't be enough for him to cover the losses.”

Zhuang Zhihao laughed out loud, "You really are... no matter which step you take, you don't lose anything."

“If it weren’t for the fact that there are too many people under the Jiang family’s branch, and they’re constantly on the move, I wouldn’t have had to resort to such a roundabout method.” Shen Jize took a breath and continued, “Shen Qingji has always wanted to climb the social ladder by getting involved with the Jiang family’s branch. He thought that if he married into the Li family, he could get in. Anyway, this time, I’m sure I can completely crush Shen Qingji.”

Zhuang Zhihao reminded Shen Jize: "I'll go with you, and bring more people. Nothing is more important than our safety."

Two days later.

It was a sunny day.

The two first met at a private dock by their respective cars.

Then we boarded Zhuang Zhihao's yacht and sailed over there.

After boarding the cruise ship, the two calmly ate breakfast. As soon as breakfast was finished, Zhuang Zhihao began wiping the wooden gun in his hand.

For people like them, safety is absolutely their top priority.

Furthermore, the wooden gun was also custom-made.

Zhuang Zhihao's has the letter H printed on it, while Shen Jize's has a rose-like flower pattern.

"Show-off, I've never seen anyone put a rose on a gun before. Are you a girl?"

Shen Jize chuckled but didn't refute, "By the way, speaking of which, I think Weiwei would definitely like it."

Zhuang Zhihao was taken aback. "Weiwei? She probably doesn't know what you do, otherwise she would be terrified. I only found out after I went there last time. Although the people there are poor, they are really living a peaceful life."

"The way of life is different. There are indeed very few fights there, and no ordinary people taking guns. These are all illegal. However, if you want to get things done, you still need connections and money. But with these two things, there is basically nothing that cannot be accomplished."

"So you're doing well over there? We agreed that you'd bring me to the communications department, but what about me?" Zhuang Zhihao questioned, though he wasn't really angry.

Shen Jize also offered a rare explanation, "Communications were difficult to carry out, so I worked directly with the higher-ups, but I didn't forget about you in the subsequent machine improvement work."

This refers to improvements to pagers and mobile phones.

He had already been involved, and originally thought that it would take some time to make improvements.

To my surprise, after learning more about it, I found out that someone was already doing it, and it was almost at the point where it couldn't continue.

The reason for this is precisely the problem of funding.

Then he and Shen Jize made a strong investment, and it won't be long before the new technology company goes public.

Communication coupled with new technology —

Zhuang Zhihao laughed and said, "When it comes to doing business, you're the best. But I'm still worried that the price is too high. What if no one buys it?"

"So the mechs are divided into high-end and ordinary types, and they have different functions, but we'll talk about that later."
