Mr. Zhou put down his teacup and said, "Shen Qi, I'm here to discuss something with you. I've found a professional craftsman who can repair your pocket watch, but his schedule is too tight, so I'm afraid he won't have time to come to Jincheng. So I want to take the pocket watch to Xiangcheng to find him. If you're worried, we can go together."
"Xiangcheng?"
Shen Qi repeated, "Is there anything important over there?"
Mr. Zhou explained, "There's going to be a grand watch exhibition in Xiangcheng the day after tomorrow. There will be precious pocket watches, wristwatches, clocks, and more from all over the world on display. The craftsman I contacted this time is called Bonnie. He's from Europe and a world-class watchmaker. He happens to be passing through Xiangcheng and can spare some time to attend the exhibition. After the exhibition, he'll have to return to Europe immediately, so he won't be able to make it in time. I'll have to take your pocket watch to Xiangcheng to meet him."
Shen Qi nodded, "Okay then, I'll go with you the day after tomorrow."
In fact, Shen Qi's purpose was not only to follow Mr. Zhou and prevent him from running away with the pocket watch. The more important reason was that Shen Qi remembered that before he went into seclusion, there were several old guys who loved collecting watches. If those old guys were still alive, they would not miss the watch exhibition in Xiangcheng.
Perhaps, it’s time to go and meet these old guys. After all, they fought side by side more than ninety years ago.
Mr. Zhou showed a happy expression. "Okay, I'll have someone book the plane tickets right away. We'll leave the day after tomorrow morning and arrive in Xiangcheng in the afternoon. We'll attend the watch exhibition in the evening. After the exhibition, we can meet with Bonnie."
"Okay, you can arrange it."
Shen Qi said he had no objection.
After sending Mr. Zhou away, Shen Qi continued to sit in the yard and bask in the sun.
Perhaps it was because this time of relaxation was so relaxing that Shen Qi became lazy and didn't want to do anything.
If this had happened more than ninety years ago, he would not have wanted to bask in the sun here.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Qiu came back with a gloomy look on his face.
Seeing Shen Qiu's expression, Shen Qi smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Are things not going well at the financial company?"
Chen Qiu sat in front of Shen Qi, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Second Grandfather, I didn't know this until I checked. I was shocked! I used to think Yang Hui had been working for the company, and that our financial company's president, Wang Qiong, had betrayed the company, causing such a huge loss. But that's not the case at all!"
"Didn't I say yesterday that Wei Yingrong had already uncovered many issues? Among them were the details of Wang Qiong's departure from the company. Wang Qiong left after receiving a phone call. Ten minutes after he left, the company was hacked and a series of mysterious operations occurred, causing huge losses to the company. However, the surveillance footage from the ten minutes after Wang Qiong left was missing. No one knows if anyone entered Wang Qiong's office after he left."
"We investigated Wang Qiong's family and discovered they didn't leave voluntarily. They were likely kidnapped and forced to leave Jincheng. Furthermore, they didn't have time to pack up any valuables in Wang Qiong's home, not even the cash in his bedside drawer!"
"In addition, Yang Hui's wife's account received a transfer of 100,000 yuan every month. Two days before the company's crisis, she suddenly received another transfer of 5 million yuan. Yang Hui himself could not explain the source of this money."
"So many signs indicate..."
Shen Qi raised his hand to interrupt Shen Qiu, "You don't need to tell me so much, just tell me what you plan to do."
Chen Qiu's expression was serious. "We have filed an appeal against Yang Hui and launched an investigation into him and his wife. I suspect that the money they received was given by the Cheng family, and Wang Qiong was framed by them."
Shen Qi asked, "Does your father know?"
"Not yet. My father is busy discussing something with the Li family in Tongcheng. He hasn't come back yet, and I haven't told him yet."
Chen Qiu paused and continued, "We absolutely cannot let this matter go. If Yang Hui can prove that Cheng Xishan instructed him to cause significant losses to our Shen family's financial company, then we will have a reasonable excuse to bring down the Cheng family! Second Grandfather, do you think I can do this?"
"It's okay, just go for it."
Shen Qi encouraged her and added, "But you have to hurry up and resolve this matter as soon as possible tomorrow. I'm going to Xiangcheng the day after tomorrow."
"Xiangcheng?"
Chen Qiu was curious, "What are you going to do in Xiangcheng? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, I can go by myself."
Shen Qi rejected Chen Qiu's kindness. He went to Xiangcheng with other purposes, and it was not convenient to take Chen Qiu with him.
Seeing that Shen Qi was unwilling to say more, Chen Qiu did not ask any more questions and returned to his room to continue studying the financial company's affairs.
Another hour later, when it began to get dark, Shen Hong came back.
As soon as Shen Hong entered the door, he saw Shen Qi sitting in the yard drinking tea, and hurriedly sat over with an excitement on his face that was difficult to conceal.
"Uncle, today I had a very smooth discussion with the Tongcheng Li family. The initial plan is for our two families to jointly build a factory in Jincheng. They will provide the technology and 30% of the funds, and we will provide 70% of the funds. In the end, the Shen family will own 51% of the shares, and the Li family will own 49%."
"As long as we can obtain enough technology from the Tongcheng Li family, we can successfully enter the clothing industry! This is a real industry, different from real estate and finance. Moreover, the clothing market is huge. Even if we can only occupy a small part of the market, it will be very beneficial to the development of our Shen family."
Shen Qi nodded. "Yes, I haven't been in touch with society for a long time, and I don't know much about its development. Therefore, the development of the Shen family still depends on you to steer the direction. If there are any problems that cannot be solved, I will take action."
"I'm here, just do it, don't worry."
"yes!"
Shen Hong's expression became more and more excited, "Second... Ancestor, with your words, I feel relieved! Just wait and see, I will definitely develop our Shen family into the top wealthy family in Xia Country!"
Although Shen Qi has clearly stated that he will not fight for the power of the Shen family, Shen Hong, Shen Qiu and Shen Yu have unknowingly regarded Shen Qi as the soul of the Shen family. Whenever they encounter any problems, their first thought is to discuss it with Shen Qi.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Qi is the real helmsman of the Shen family.
When all the work in the Shen family was gradually getting on track, Cheng Xishan also welcomed a guest.
The man was tall, with strong limbs and obvious Western features. When he walked, his right hand never left his waist, and his eyes were always paying attention to the movements around him. He had an inexplicably powerful aura, and it was obvious at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
Cheng Xishan did not meet this person at Cheng's house, but instead set the meeting place in a private room of a cafe.
After the two met, they began to talk in low voices. After communicating for more than ten minutes, they left one after another.
