Chu Fangzheng was digging in the soil with a hoe, and said slowly, "Your sister is doing this for your own good."
"Brother-in-law, if you hadn't met my sister, would you have gotten married?"
"Won't."
"Then what the hell are you talking about!"
Chu Fang looked helpless.
Zhong Rou picked a hanging cucumber, rubbed it a few times, took a bite, making a crisp sound, and said while chewing, "Brother-in-law, I'm targeting Hua Ruitong, you don't mind, do you?"
Will you listen to my opinions?
"Hmm... yes, but I don't want to hear it."
Chu Fang rolled his eyes at his sister-in-law.
What's the difference between this and taking off your pants to fart?
They're just rambling on about nothing.
Zhong Rou chuckled: "I didn't mean that Shao Bowen is your friend. Besides, our Xiao Jin and Shao Xiang have been friends since they were little."
"I'm not friends with that old man, we're not close. As for Xiao Jin and Shao Xiang, I don't know them either."
"Brother-in-law, you're becoming more and more lazy these days. You don't care about any of these things."
"None of your business!" Chu Fang was too lazy to pay attention to his sister-in-law.
As the sun set, the family began to eat. At the dinner table, Zhong Tingyue kept criticizing Zhong Rou, expressing her disappointment and frustration.
After finishing her dinner, Zhong Rou quickly ran away.
The next day, Zhong Rou got up early, went for a run, and then drove to the company.
As soon as I arrived at the company, Wenqing came over and said, "Rou Rou, someone is looking for you."
Who is it?
"Shao Xiang, the youngest son of the Shao family."
Zhong Rou nodded: "Bring him to my office."
A short while later, Shao Xiang entered the office and saw Zhong Rou eating bread while making a video call with her employees.
While eating, Zhong Rou choked. Shao Xiang poured her a glass of water and handed it to her. After drinking some water, she felt much better and gestured for him to sit down so she could continue her video call.
The video call lasted half an hour, during which Shao Xiang personally heard and saw how Zhong Rou worked and how she held meetings with her employees.
Upon seeing that Zhong Rou had finished her work, Shao Xiang stood up and said, "Aunt Zhong Rou."
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"No, I'm just bored anyway."
“Indeed!” Zhong Rou nodded. “Hua Ruitong Company is entirely controlled by your older brothers and sisters. The company’s operations are airtight, and you can’t do anything.”
He paused for a moment, then cut to the chase: "You're here because of my targeting of your company, right? Are you representing Huaruitong Company, or in your personal capacity?"
"Personally," Shao Xiang replied, "Aunt Zhong Rou, I hope you will give up targeting our company; it would be beneficial for both of us."
“Hua Ruitong is currently doing well and is moving towards a higher level, which is unstoppable. Doing this will only waste your money.”
“Wrong, wrong, wrong.” Zhong Rou shook her head. “But I’m making money now.”
"Your company's major shareholder has been manipulating and suppressing the stock price for years, causing the market to severely undervalue the stock. I bought a lot of stocks at a low price. As I did this, you all drove up the stock price, increasing my purchase cost, while my position was actually profitable."
Shao Xiang was silent for less than a second before saying, "You won't achieve your goals so easily."
"Nothing in this world is easy; it requires effort and dedication."
"I'm sorry to have bothered you today." Knowing Zhong Rou's determination, Shao Xiang didn't say anything more.
He then left, turning back before saying, "Aunt Zhong Rou, I hope you won't tell Xiao Jin about this."
"Why?" Zhong Rou tilted her head. "In other people's eyes, the fault lies with me. I deliberately caused trouble. If Xiao Jin knew, she would only blame me."
Shao Xiang replied, "I don't want Xiao Jin to get involved in these things."
"Why would I tell you if you don't?"
Thank you.
As she watched Shao Xiang leave, Zhong Rou stroked her chin.
... ...
When Shao Xiang returned to the company, there was a commotion coming from the department he managed.
"What's going on?" He frowned slightly.
An employee covered his face, looking aggrieved: "Mr. Shao, Manager Liu came to withdraw funds, and I only asked about the purpose, and he hit me."
Manager Liu, standing next to him, smiled and said nonchalantly, "Mr. Shao, I'm withdrawing funds to entertain clients and contribute to the company. It's one thing for you not to cooperate, but to also audit our expenditures is a bit unreasonable."
This Manager Liu is the deputy manager of the department, a veteran of the company, and a confidant of the eldest son of the Shao family. He has always acted recklessly in the company and doesn't even respect Shao Xiang.
He said, "The review was something I requested."
"Oh, so it was Mr. Shao who requested it. I'm very sorry about that." Manager Liu still smiled. "Mr. Shao, you have no idea how difficult things are for our department. We not only have to deal with clients, but also with the company. We're just too busy."
"Please have mercy and approve the money for us, please do us a favor." As he spoke, he clasped his hands together, looking like he was begging for help.
Shao Xiang said, "Xiao Dai, give the money to Manager Liu."
"good."
Manager Liu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Shao."
Shao Xiang knew that he had only been with the company for a short time and knew nothing about it, so no one took him seriously.
Just then, he saw his older brothers and sisters rushing out of the office, and he asked, "What's wrong, eldest brother?"
"Dad is gone."
The Shao family then hurriedly left the company.
... ...
Zhong Rou was exercising in her office when Wen Qing walked in and said, "Rou Rou, Shao Bowen has passed away."
"Hmm? So fast?" Zhong Rou raised an eyebrow and muttered to herself, "That old bastard is a womanizer and has ruined his body, so it's understandable that it happened so quickly."
"What should we do next?" Wenqing asked.
"Hold your positions and do nothing."
"ah?"
"Death is the greatest tragedy."
