Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Jiang Hongguo was shocked. How could someone...

Is there such a good thing that can happen unexpectedly? The one that Jiang Hongguo had originally set his sights on was the last piece. But how could those coal bosses suddenly change their minds?

Chu Chengwu was mysterious and whispered more and more quietly: "I heard that the warehouses of several of their mines were blown up. When the family members came to warn them, the coal bosses all guessed that it was your family's revenge. But the warehouses of your two mines were also blown up. Boss Jiang, I still know you. No matter how powerful you are, you can't think of the trick of blowing up your own warehouse to silence your opponent. It shouldn't be your family."

Jiang Hongguo laughed twice. She couldn’t do it, but Gu Changzong dared to. Could it be that he came back?

Jiang Hongguo wanted to go out and take a look, but the bidding had begun. Chu Chengwu was ready to take the lead, determined to win: "Boss Jiang, while they are distracted, let's take a picture of this mine."

"Okay!" Jiang Hongguo calmed himself down and finished the bidding first.

…

The fat boss heard a lot of angry news from the family members who came over, and then turned around and told Wen Yongshan a shocking news: "The warehouses of several of our mines were blown up. It means literally blown up. Do you know how serious this is?"

Wen Yongshan was completely implicated, but the warehouse at Gu Changzong's mine was also blown up. What is there to complain about?

Wen Yongshan said calmly: "You see, this is revenge. If you dare to raise the bid again, it won't be the warehouse that will be blown up."

How could the fat boss not know the warning? But since Gu Changzong even blew up the warehouses of his own two mines, there was no way to say that he was the one who did it, so he could only be angry.

The fat boss gnashed his teeth and said, "I really didn't expect that Gu Changzong could be so cruel."

Wen Yongshan disdained such useless complaints: "If you don't raise the price, none of our mines will be in trouble. Who is forcing you? Or bribed you?"

The fat boss didn't hide it anymore: "Your twin sister Wen Qing, things have come to this point, she asked me to invite Gu Changzong and Jiang Hongguo to go out for dinner after the show."

Wen Yongshan: "Are you born in the Year of the Dog? Do you obey her every command?"

The fat boss was not convinced: "Do you know what she said? She said your mother is the twin sister of Jiang Hongguo's mother. She told me not to be afraid of offending Jiang Hongguo and that she could cover anything for me. Is your sister lying?"

Wen Yongshan was shocked, but he regained his composure almost instantly: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

…

The bidding for the contract rights of this last mine was successfully won according to the previously agreed-upon bid-rigging plan, except that this time it was Jiang Hongguo who won the bid. No one raised the price, and she won the contract rights at almost the lowest price.

Jiang Hong was so happy. She didn't expect that things would turn out so well and she got what she wanted most.

The bidding was over, and after shaking hands and signing with the leaders, there were some remaining procedures. Jiang Hongguo asked Chu Chengwu to handle it. She was in a hurry to go out to find Gu Changzong, but she was stopped by the fat boss Qiao.

Boss Qiao was a bad guy for nothing. He was eager to explain and squeezed over to congratulate him: "Boss Jiang, congratulations on getting the same photo. You are really talented."

Jiang Hongguo didn't give her a good look. They had just agreed on it at noon but then he changed his mind. Now he acted like nothing had happened. Why should she just let it go?

Hong Guo said, "Boss Qiao, you are breaking your promise, don't you want to give me an explanation?"

Boss Qiao glanced in Boss Wen's direction and quietly explained, "Boss Wen has a twin sister. She came to me at noon and asked me to compete with you in bidding. Of course I refused. She said if I didn't agree, she would tell my wife where my second child lived and make my family ruined. If I agreed, she would take my second child to Hong Kong and give birth there. My wife can't have children, so I have to have an heir. There's really nothing I can do."

Jiang Hongguo glared at him and said, "If you confess and divorce your wife and give her half of the property, I will respect you as a human being. Otherwise, I don't want to talk to you."

Look, this is why Boss Qiao doesn't like dealing with female bosses. The romantic affairs between men that can be laughed off are made a big deal by her, and it's impossible to have a proper discussion about the matter.

Boss Qiao stopped him from leaving: "Boss Jiang, listen to me. Don't you want to know why we have to fight with you for Boss Wen's twin sister?"

Jiang Hongguo: "She's crazy. She thinks her family is more powerful than Xiao Dajie's family and Zhang Yaoqin's family, and can control me."

Boss Qiao said hurriedly, "You are really mistaken. Boss Wen's twin sister didn't want to come, but her mother forced her to come. You can't see the scar on Boss Wen's neck because it's covered by her collar. We saw it when we were taking a bath. It was because Boss Wen didn't follow her orders and was hit by the broken porcelain. Their mother has a kind of extreme bias that we can't understand."

Jiang Hongguo was not afraid: "That's because their mother is crazy, do you think I'm afraid?"

"No, no."

The fat boss waved his hands repeatedly, pulled Jiang Hongguo aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Wen Yongshan's twin sister said that their mother is your mother's twin and is your aunt. They have never acknowledged each other before. I asked why they met in this way if they are relatives. Wouldn't that be making enemies? Boss Wen's sister said that no one could guess what her mother was thinking."

Jiang Hongguo was shocked. How could someone say that she was a relative? It was too outrageous. She didn't believe it.

"If there was such a relative, my father would have told me about it when he was dying. I don't believe it, and you shouldn't believe their lies either. If they are really twins, you see, Boss Wen, his sister and I are all cousins. How can we not look alike at all?"

It certainly doesn't seem like it, but that doesn't prove anything.

The fat boss said, "Boss Jiang, I'm just telling you what I know. Let's have dinner together tonight."

"Eat your head." Jiang Hongguo scolded him angrily, "You have no brains at all. You believe everything others say. I don't want to eat with you."

Jiang Hongguo ran out quickly, feeling very confused. How could a relative who came up to her make things difficult for her?

Jiang Hongguo believed her father. If there really was such a close aunt, her father would not have kept silent about it until his death. It must be some monster who knew something about her family and made up stories based on the fact that she had no close relatives.

By the way, she was really anxious. It was not a big deal. The truth of a fifteen-year-old case could be found. When she found a chance, she would touch the jewelry of Wen Yongshan’s mother and she would know.

…

As soon as she ran out of the bidding venue, she saw Gu Changzong. He was at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for her with a smile on his face.

Before Jiang Hongguo had completely walked down the stairs, she jumped down and was caught by Gu Changzong tacitly.

Even though they were apart, she still missed him very much. When she saw him, Hong Guo put aside all the unhappy things and hugged him tightly. Then she let go and asked with a smile, "There are two things, one happy and one sad. Which one should I talk about first?"

Gu Changzong hadn't seen Hongguo for a few days, so he liked to listen to whatever she said: "Let's make it clear first."

Hong Guo was very happy when good things happened. She was secretly happy and said quietly, "I got the mine I wanted the most. Those fools thought I was at a disadvantage, but in fact I got the advantage and made them feel ashamed of me."

Gu Changzong was happy for her: "Tell me the bad things, I will help you digest them, you just need to remember the good things."

Hongguo looked back and saw the fat boss acting as if nothing had happened. He was chatting and laughing with several other coal bosses who had won the auction. He was really good at pretending.

She turned around and complained: "Boss Qiao was afraid that I would be angry, so he said that he was asked to raise the price on purpose. It was my mother's twin sister. I have never seen my mother, so I didn't believe it. I thought I would find an opportunity to touch the jewelry and know whether it was real or fake."

There is no need to worry about such a small matter. Gu Changzong has no family affection towards anyone except Hongguo and Diandian. He feels that even if there is such a relative, there is no need to acknowledge him, not to mention that there is a high possibility that he is here to commit fraud.

"It must be a liar. If they are real relatives, why would they recognize each other in this way?"

Yes, it’s a problem that anyone can understand, but the fat boss actually believed it. Perhaps he weighed the interests and convinced himself to believe it.

Gu Changzong wanted to take Hongguo home, so he turned back to the car and asked the two people in the car to get out: "I want to talk to Hongguo, you can take the car to my house by yourselves."

Hong Guo then discovered that there were two other people in the official car he drove. They were Director Wei's right-hand men, Dong Liang and Yao Wangping. No wonder Chang Zong could accomplish so many things at once. The two of them, plus Old Zheng Yushan and Chang Zong, a total of five people, could accomplish anything.

They were hugging and cuddling for a while, and were seen by others. Hongguo blushed and greeted them: "Why are you here?"

The two men were innocent. They were arranged to supervise Gu Changzong to prevent him from doing anything out of line, but they were coerced by him to blow up the warehouse.

Gu Changzong only asked the two of them to blow up the warehouse in his mine. What could they say?

Yao Wangping smiled and said, "We are also on vacation. We just happened to meet on the road and came to Yancheng for a stroll. You guys do your own things. We are going to find something delicious and then stay in a hotel."

Jiang Hongguo didn't believe it. After the two of them walked away, Gu Changzong snorted and reported Director Wei.

"Guoguo, please judge for yourself. I used my own method to find out that Zhang Yaoqin's cheap uncle wanted to kill her, so I asked Zhang's cheap nephew, who was not a bad person, to be a witness. Old Wei said I was reckless. He knew that someone was going to die, so why didn't I stop it? I said he was pedantic. This was going to happen anyway, why should I prevent the evil person from dying? It would be better if he died. He said I had no discipline, and I said he was pedantic. After the quarrel, I had two more annoying spies for the rest of the holiday."

Gu Changzong said to himself: "Why not let them take sick leave for a while?"

These two people are just keeping an eye on Gu Changzong to prevent him from doing anything rash.

Hong Guo understood Director Wei's feelings. She said, "You were too impatient and didn't understand Director Wei's deep meaning. You are in a special position. You have to be extra careful to avoid being jealous. He restrains you to protect you. Old Wei is actually a good person."

Gu Changzong would listen to whatever Jiang Hongguo said.

Hong Guo looked at the dazed Gu Changzong, smiled and pinched his handsome face: "It's okay, if you don't want to listen to him, just do what you want. I think you are right, but everything in this world has consequences. If you can accept the consequences, then it's fine, Changzong, I support you."

Gu Changzong thought about it carefully, and things were indeed the same as Hongguo's analysis. This time, Lao Wei could still help him, but there would always be a time when he could not cover it anymore. At that time, he could take Hongguo, Diandian and these friends with him and run away together.

But now, even he doesn't want to run away anymore.

Gu Changzong figured it out: "I understand, I'll call him in the evening."

Hongguo was very happy. Look, Gu Changzong had a good idea. The two were about to leave when the fat boss suddenly caught up with them and said straight to the point: "I'm just passing on a message. Boss Wen said that it's rare for Boss Gu to come back, and we'd like to get together for a meal. It's up to you whether you want to go or not."

Gu Changzong was about to meet them: "Okay."

…

Those who are having dinner tonight are all those who were at the bidding venue today, even Chen Qingzhi is here.

Hongguo was a little worried, afraid that Chen Qingzhi would see it if she turned around, but Changzong didn't even look at her and didn't say anything, so he should be fine.

When everyone sat down at the dinner table, Gu Changzong didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. He was only busy picking fish bones and peeling shrimp shells for Jiang Hongguo. The two of them were so affectionate as if no one was around, making everyone at the table feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Hongguo spoke first: "The bidding is over. Did you set up this just to watch me and Gu Changzong have dinner? You don't have that much free time, do you?"

The fat boss knew that he had completely offended Jiang Hongguo, so he called □□Ping for advice. Among Sister Xiao's sisters, Jiang Hongguo had never retaliated against □□Ping, and they could even talk to each other when they met. So he asked □□Ping how to make Jiang Hongguo calm down.

□□ Ping said: "It's easy. Don't say one thing and do another. Be honest and tell her your purpose. If you are threatened, tell Jiang Hongguo, she won't be angry. You can see that she still asks Chu Chengwu to do something, which shows her character."

The fat boss decided to give it a try and said with an apologetic smile: "Boss Jiang, we actually want to discuss some serious matters with your man. The new coal mine needs to be mined and the mining association needs to be reorganized. We need to discuss it, right?"

Jiang Hongguo told Gu Changzong to stop peeling shrimps: "Wipe your hands, I want to talk to you about serious business."

Gu Changzong glared at the fat boss with resentment, peeled the shrimp in his hand, put it in the vinegar dish in front of Jiang Hongguo, wiped his hands with a towel, and then spoke coldly and rudely.

"I have other important things to do. I only have three days off. I will be leaving soon. You can discuss the mine matters with Hongguo. Whatever she says is the truth."

The fat boss choked. What could be more important than mining? What on earth was Gu Changzong busy with?

He laughed dryly: "She insists on her own opinion and refuses to compromise, so there is no point in talking."

Gu Changzong said: "Not necessarily. When the day comes when you beg her, you will compromise."

The fat boss was unhappy: "Is there really something that so many of us can't solve, but she can solve it?"

Gu Changzong laughed coldly a few times and answered the question irrelevantly: "Is there someone named Wen Qing coming to Yancheng? Tell her to walk carefully."

Everyone's face changed: "Gu Changzong, it's not good to threaten a girl like this, right?"

Gu Changzong looked at the men with disdain and held Jiang Hongguo's hand: "Isn't Hongguo a girl? How dare you, a bunch of grown men, bully her and blame me?"

The fat boss was so embarrassed that he apologized: "It's all my fault today."

Hong Guo didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she looked at Wen Yongshan and said, "Boss Wen, go back and tell your sister to be careful recently. I'm afraid that what we said tonight will get out, and your family's enemies will harm your sister and put the blame on Changzong. However, this kind of blaming will eventually solve the case."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After the conversation between the couple, why did they not seem to speak like normal people? Who were they?

After the meal, Jiang Hongguo finally saved some face and didn't leave money at the service desk like last time, which could be considered as treating them to a meal.

As soon as the people dispersed, several coal bosses immediately began to speculate: "What do you think Gu Changzong is busy with? I can't think of anything that can make more money than running a coal mine."

No one knew what Gu Changzong was busy with, so they just said a few words and then ignored it.

…

Chen Qingzhi had learned his lesson tonight and did not interrupt the whole time. When the show was over, he rushed to pay for the meal, but his eyes were looking outside the door. Jiang Hongguo and Gu Changzong were eating roasted lamb at the stall opposite. The two of them huddled together, laughing, whispering to each other, and looking very affectionate.

What a shame, these two of them, they offended everyone at the dinner table, and yet they can still laugh?

Especially Gu Changzong, she finally met him. When he was in high school, Gu Changzong had a cold and aloof personality. Even if the environment changed after going to the countryside, he wouldn't suddenly become a completely different person, right?

On the way home, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but tell her husband about her doubts.

"You know that Gu Changzong and I are classmates. It's fine that he just pretended not to know me, but he didn't even look at me the whole time. This is too abnormal."

Wen Yongshan: "I don't think so. There are so many people at the dinner table, but you've only been staring at Gu Changzong?"

Chen Qingzhi waved her hands hurriedly: "You misunderstood, I felt that Gu Changzong seemed like a different person, and I was curious so I paid more attention to him. He is now a competitor of yours, so it is reasonable for me to care about him. Do you think there is a problem here?"

"What could be the problem?"

Wen Yongshan said calmly, "When a couple gets along for a long time, they will influence each other. Coupled with the things they have experienced, it is normal for their personalities to change. You always compare the person in your memory with the person now, and they are not the same person anymore."

Chen Qingzhi was afraid that her husband would get angry, so she didn't dare to continue.

When she got home, Wen Qing was already waiting for her. Chen Qingzhi disliked Wen Qing very much. From the time she and Wen Yongshan met until they got married, Wen Qing was the one who targeted her the most.

Wen Qing was angry at Chen Qingzhi because she didn't handle the matter well: "See? My brother is still separated from you, what's the point of you still clinging to him?"

She actually entered the room in the house at will?

Chen Qingzhi replied in shame and anger: "Your brother and I agreed to spend some time together first, but you, without your brother's consent, went to Boss Qiao to raise the price. You invited Jiang Hongguo and his wife to dinner tonight to apologize. You have suffered so much anger, and you have not yet made up for the trouble you caused."

Wen Qing had a deep prejudice against Chen Qingzhi and refused to listen: "Even if I did something wrong, it's the Wen family's business. Who do you think you are?"

Chen Qingzhi angrily said, "I will be buried in the Wen family's ancestral tomb in the future. Can you do that?"

Wen Qing raised her hand and slapped Chen Qingzhi: "The Wen family will not let you be buried in the ancestral tomb, you don't deserve it!"

Wen Yongshan, who had been silent the whole time, slapped Wen Qingzhi with his backhand after Chen Qingzhi was beaten, and said coldly: "You are not allowed to hit people in my house."

Wen Qing was shocked and asked, "Brother, you beat me for her?"

Wen Yongshan said: "You hit her, she can't fight back, this slap is for her."

Chen Qingzhi felt warm in her heart and felt that Wen Yongshan was so nice to her.

Wen Qing suddenly laughed, "Brother, did you hit me because of her, or because I asked Boss Qiao to raise the price? To tell you the truth, my family arranged for me to come here this time. The price increase is not to really rob the mine, but to show off to Jiang Hongguo. Mom gave me a task, asking Gu Changzong to select the children of the Wen family into an important plan, and said that they must start training now."

Wen Yongshan frowned: "What plan did you choose?"

Wen Qing shrugged: "I don't know either, but it must be very important."

Wen Yongshan regained his composure: "Since you need help from someone, if you don't build a good relationship with them and you want to intimidate them, you won't be able to do it."

Wen Qing curled her lips and said, "I told you before, don't you know my mother's temper? She can even beat you up, so I can only do what she says. Don't blame me if you can't do it in the end."
