He really didn't know, so he didn't call? Liu Xiangnian said: "Today a Tang building collapsed."

Feng Xueming had some impression of this news, but he didn't know what it had to do with his grandfather? He said with some regret: "Many tenement buildings are of poor quality. It is not surprising that they collapsed. Logically, it is best to conduct a full inspection, but what is the use of inspection? There are so many tenement buildings. Can they all be demolished and rebuilt? Even if they are rebuilt, the people inside cannot afford to buy them. The government cannot have so much money to build so many public housing units, right?"

"Now this tenement building has been linked to the Salt Water Building, and it was all over the TV news tonight," said Liu Xiangnian.

Feng Xueming now understood that the housing estate projects built by his grandfather were not among the 26 salt water buildings that were demolished and rebuilt, but there were several buildings on the list of 85 buildings that needed to be reinforced, and two of them were actually within the scope of demolition.

Many real estate developers who took over the public housing projects back then have gone through ups and downs. Many have gone bankrupt, while some have been merged. Only two or three are still in business today, and Tianhe is one of them. In 1982, the residential market was very depressed and this scandal broke out. If Tianhe's house was among those demolished and rebuilt, it would inevitably have a huge impact on Tianhe. In order to reduce the impact, Tianhe voluntarily assumed the cost of house repairs and saved the two buildings from demolition. This is an illegal operation.

When Feng Xueming was working at Tianhe, he and his grandfather always had conflicts over management concepts. He always believed that with a company of Tianhe's scale, compliance must be done well, but his grandfather still used the old ways very smoothly and even said that he was naive.

He asked, "So? Haven't you already taken care of it? The buildings involved have also been reinforced."

"There have always been different opinions within the government on this matter, and it is very likely that they will conduct a thorough investigation now." Liu Xiangnian looked at Feng Xueming, "If... I mean if there is really no other way, a fine is not a big deal. Even if I am sentenced to two or three years in prison, I can still be released on bail for medical treatment. My problem now is that I can't stand endless investigations and interrogations."

"So what do you want to do?" Feng Xueming asked him.

"You go back to Tianhe, and I'll go to Switzerland to recuperate." Liu Xiangnian said, "Even if you don't want to inherit Tianhe, at least I've raised you for so many years."

Feng Xueming understood. As long as he replaced his grandfather as the actual controller of the company and his grandfather went to Switzerland for recuperation, he would not have to participate in most of the investigation matters. He would only participate in the detailed questioning, which would reduce the pressure on his grandfather.

"Xue Ming, help me. Even if you don't want to inherit Tianhe, don't let Tianhe fall in front of me. This is my life's work." Liu Xiangnian held Feng Xueming's hand, tears streaming down his face.

Feng Xueming looked at his grandfather who was in his twilight years. This was his grandfather, and even if he was motivated by selfish motives, he had raised his grandfather after all. He was already suffering from cancer. The Salt Water Building incident did have a huge impact on the real estate industry. If it was investigated, he would not only face imprisonment, but the few real estate developers that could compete with Tianhe now mostly started in the mid-to-late 1970s, and there are not many old real estate companies left. Therefore, since only Tianhe would be affected by the Salt Water Building incident, the other companies would probably try their best to add insult to injury. Due to the negative impact of this incident, Tianhe’s operations will definitely be in trouble, and with my grandfather’s health condition, it will be difficult to sustain it.

Feng Xueming stood up: "Grandpa, let me think about it."

"Xue Ming, my body is already like this, you..."

"I see." Feng Xueming said, "This is not a trivial matter. Please let me think about it carefully. I won't drive. I will sleep here for a while. When it gets light, I will ask the driver to take me back."

"Xue Ming, I really may not be able to hold on any longer." Liu Xiangnian said to Feng Xue Ming.

Feng Xueming looked at his grandfather who had a hunched back, did not answer, turned around, went up the stairs, lay down on the bed, tossing and turning.

He forced his grandfather to give his grandmother a legitimate status, and he supported his mother in leaving his father. In fact, he always hoped that his family would be well, and he also hoped that his grandfather would be well.
