Chapter 101 Being Targeted
If possible, Zheng Yunhui would certainly like to support her daughter.
Putting aside the Lin family's immense wealth, and the fact that Wang Yuehua was her college classmate, Lin Su alone is an outstanding individual. She would naturally be very happy if such a young man could become her son-in-law.
Wang Yuehua came from an ordinary family. She interned at the Lin Group and later, for reasons unknown, married into the Lin family and became a wealthy wife.
This shows that the Lin family did not have a strong sense of social class. If it weren't for the conflict between their daughter and Yuehua's younger daughter, they might have actually succeeded.
Just because the Lin family has no hope doesn't mean other wealthy and powerful families have no hope either. She said, "Master Qian is a national-level physician and imperial doctor. His patients are either government officials or people from powerful and wealthy families."
"His apprentices are all well-known figures in the industry. His eldest apprentice is the principal of your university, and his second apprentice is the director of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. If you could become his apprentice, you would be their junior sister, and you could choose any kind of talented young man you wanted."
Yuan Xin looked at her.
Zheng Yunhui added, “I’ve always told you that we are just an ordinary family. If you want to move up in society, you can only keep improving yourself. As long as you are good enough, you won’t have to chase after others; you will attract their attention naturally.”
Yuan Xin's eyes lit up: "You're right. I was wrong before. I'm going to study hard from now on. Can you help me find out when Master Qian will start taking on apprentices? I must become his apprentice."
Zheng Yunhui said with satisfaction, "That's right. We need to find the right direction to work hard in. If the direction is wrong, all our efforts will be in vain. Once you become Master Qian's apprentice, even Lin Su is not out of the question."
Yuan Xin: "I understand."
Zhou Mingshi learned from his aunt that Master Qian was currently seeing an important patient and had postponed the time for accepting apprentices.
With nothing else to do, Lin Yi'an went back to Changping.
Zhou Mingshi had to go to work and couldn't accompany her. He wanted to ask Assistant Chen to take her, since Ye Lingzhi was there, but Lin Yi'an didn't allow it.
The construction team Zhou Mingshi found was very reliable; the foundation for the house had already been laid, and the medicinal herb base was still being cultivated.
Lin Shuhe drives his tricycle around the fields every day, while Zhou Kanghui, who came to help manage the medicinal herb base, has nothing to do and spends his days playing mahjong with people in the village.
He seemed a little guilty when he saw Lin Yi'an coming over. Seeing his expression, Liu Zhengying smiled and said to her daughter, "We're still clearing land right now, there's not much to do, let him play."
Lin Yi'an didn't say anything. Zhou Mingshi had asked him to come over just to give him something to do, and didn't expect him to be of any help.
After lunch, someone came looking for Zhou Kanghui.
Lin Yi'an glanced at her, not recognizing her, and whispered to her grandmother, "Where is this person from?"
Grandma Lin said, "From the town."
Lin Yi'an: "People from town came to ask Dad to play mahjong? When did they meet?"
Grandma Lin: "People at the card table can sit together and play cards whether they know each other or not. If they're playing big, and your father-in-law is rich, then they'll definitely target him."
He is Mingshi's father, so she couldn't say anything directly, and could only offer subtle hints.
Lin Yi'an looked up and said to Zhou Kanghui, "Dad, I have something to do this afternoon, so don't go playing cards today."
Zhou Kanghui: "Okay."
After saying that, he told the man who came to play cards with him, "I can't go this afternoon, let's talk about it next time."
The man glanced at Lin Yi'an with a smile: "Brother Zhou, are you being controlled by your daughter-in-law? Don't you rich families usually have strict rules? How come there's a daughter-in-law who dares to control her father-in-law?"
Zhou Kanghui said nonchalantly, "Because my son and daughter-in-law are in charge of the household, and I rely on them for a living, of course I have to let them take care of me."
Before the divorce, although Sun Yurong would say many flattering things to him every day, she would also tell him about her grievances, not only her own but also his.
He had to worry about Sun Yurong, as well as Mingyuan and Jiajia; he had many worries every day.
Since the divorce, he can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. His parents and An'an give him pocket money every month. He doesn't have to worry about anything and is incredibly happy.
He wished that Mingshi and An'an would always take care of him and arrange his life so that he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
The man didn't expect him to say that and urged, "Brother Zhou, you can't do this. Elders should maintain their authority. You're still young. How can you let your son and daughter-in-law control you? You need to be more serious and let them know how powerful you are."
Zhou Kanghui thought to himself, if he dared to let Ming Shi know how powerful he was, then Ming Shi would dare to let his father know how powerful his son was.
Thinking about this, he was a little annoyed, feeling that this person was meddling too much. They had only played cards together a few times, yet he dared to interfere in his family affairs, taking himself too seriously.
He said impatiently, "My son is capable, and I'm happy to let him manage him. If your son were capable, you would let him manage him too."
The man hadn't expected him to be angry, so he quickly changed his attitude and said with a forced smile, "Okay, I misspoke, I misspoke, Brother Zhou, shall we fight again tomorrow?"
Zhou Kanghui waved his hand: "We'll talk about it later."
"Okay, I'll call you then." The man didn't want to upset him. He had finally caught a big fish, but hadn't gotten any taste of success yet, so he naturally had to coax him properly.
He stepped outside, got into the car, and his face darkened. The fish had already swum right in front of him; how could he let it go so easily?
Lin Yi'an called Zuo Mingyang, and Zuo Mingyang arrived quickly.
"Lin Yi'an, what do you want?"
Lin Yi'an: "Could you please tell my dad about those people in town who play mahjong and how they went bankrupt because of gambling?"
Zuo Mingyang smiled and looked at Zhou Kanghui: "Uncle Zhou, why were you playing cards with those people in town?"
Zhou Kanghui blushed slightly: "I just play a little mahjong to pass the time."
Zuo Mingyang said, "You can play with the uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas in the village. The wins and losses are only a few dozen yuan. Some mahjong parlors outside have connections and can control the wins and losses. You're from out of town, so you don't know the situation..."
Zhou Kanghui jumped to his feet: "Are you serious?"
Zuo Mingyang nodded: "Not to mention, you're dressed in designer brands, you look like a rich person, people will know your identity with just a little inquiry."
Zhou Kanghui sneered: "Fine, I understand."
After Zuo Mingyang left, Zhou Kanghui laughed angrily: "Trying to scheme against me? I'll make him pay dearly, or I'm not Zhou."
Lin Yi'an's eyelids twitched: "Dad, why don't you go back to the capital first..."
Zhou Kanghui said, "Don't worry, An'an. I've been in the capital for decades. What haven't I seen? This little thing will be resolved quickly."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
As soon as the call connected, he said, "Hello, Secretary Liang, do you remember me?"
Secretary Liang: "Are you Mr. Zhou from the capital?"
Zhou Kanghui took his phone and went inside.
