After Shan Song had spent the busiest period at the branch office, it was almost time for Tong Zhao's filming to end.
During his business trip, Shan Song's assistant, who was assigned to Zhou Muyuan, kept him updated on the progress of the land development. Not long ago, because he was focused on land development and also had to keep an eye on the Qin family's cooperation to prevent them from causing trouble, Zhou Muyuan hesitated and handed over the medical business to Zhou Xinlin.
Zhou Xinlin got what he had long coveted. Overjoyed, he was encouraged by several business partners to invest a lot more. The initial profits were sure to be considerable, and Zhou Muyuan was very satisfied when he found out.
With Zhou Xinlin's investment performance remaining high and his temper becoming more restrained due to the sense of crisis caused by the birth of his illegitimate child, Zhou Muyuan felt increasingly proud and directly handed over the project to Zhou Xinlin for full responsibility. He felt that Shan Song had deliberately tripped him up before, and he no longer took Shan Song seriously, even ignoring Shan Song's several reports when he returned to report on his work.
Dan Song sneered, unsure whether this person was simply confused or had had an incredibly smooth life. In any case, he didn't care. It would be even better if Zhou Muyuan didn't keep a close eye on the medical line, as he could add a little more leverage to Zhou Xinlin's investment issues.
After Ruan Qiuju and her son discovered that Zhou Xinlin was not the only option for the Zhou family heir, their trust in Zhou Muyuan was clearly fractured. They kept many things from him and tried every means to gain more benefits. With their ambition growing, increased investment in the future is inevitable.
According to the report from the people left behind by Shan Song, Zhou Xinlin's investment had already started to run into problems. However, having learned from his previous experience, Zhou Xinlin was much "smarter" this time. He had learned from his experience in embezzling public funds, and as long as he returned the money within the stipulated time, everything would be as if nothing had happened.
His foolishness and extremely weak legal awareness suited Shan Song perfectly. Every time he embezzled money, Shan Song would have someone cover up the accounts for him, and then secretly slip some money into his own pocket in various ways. For example, he would first pay himself a few years' worth of eight-figure salary and bonuses. After all, he was still the general manager of Zhou's Group at this time, and there would be no dispute about this part even if it was discovered later. Shan Song simply turned to pleasing his wife.
The main purpose is still to transfer assets under the guise of investment, but it's just that it can't be cashed out yet. There's no rush; it will be easier once the Zhou family goes bankrupt. Actually, I really have to thank this good younger brother for the surprise; otherwise, Shan Song wouldn't have been able to empty the company so quickly and without anyone noticing.
The current situation is enough for Shan Song to go back and break ties with Zhou Muyuan. If he wants to play it safe, he can wait a few more days. Shan Song has been planning for so long, so a few more days won't make a difference. He decides to remain calm.
When Shan Song got home that evening, he was about to contact his wife when a call from Qi Changzhou suddenly popped up on his phone.
Dan Song raised an eyebrow and answered the call.
On the other end, Qi Changzhou seemed to be at sea, surrounded by bright lights and revelry. He was no longer dressed formally as before, sporting a flamboyant floral shirt with the collar wide open. His hair was probably disheveled from the wind, but his expression was extremely excited. He started by uttering a phrase from the classic Chinese opera, then introduced the mystery: "Do you know what your brother did?"
Without giving him a chance to ask questions, she launched into a tirade: "You'd never guess, I was completely stunned!"
"Why are you being so cautious when dealing with them? You even asked me to tempt him into gambling. That's pointless, brother. I think he can ruin himself!"
"The Zhou family's genes are truly amazing!"
Dan Song watched him rattle off a long string of words without even taking a breath, not getting to the point and not even giving him a chance to speak. He looked at him speechlessly. It seemed that he had been having a lot of fun these past few days and had really brought back his youthful and reckless state.
Seeing his expression, Qi Changzhou chuckled: "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"...Get to the point."
"Okay, okay." Qi Changzhou made a gesture, turned his back and leaned leisurely against the railing: "I've been keeping an eye on him all this time. I accidentally discovered that Zhou Xinlin and some friends have opened a racetrack together. Do you want to guess what happened?"
After so many years of tacit understanding, Shan Song could guess what was going on and asked calmly, "Someone died?"
Qi Changzhou snapped his fingers: "It's a facility problem. A rich kid died, and now the whole family is in disarray."
"It could have been settled with money, but these kids are still very young and panicked when they saw this. To be honest, the partners were just cronies who invested with Zhou Xinlin to make money. Now that something has happened, they've run away with the money. Your good brother is in a terrible state, offering neither compensation nor any explanation. This has made the family very agitated, and they almost called the police, but I managed to calm them down."
Qi Changzhou clicked his tongue twice, finding it unbelievable even to himself. Not only had his Qi family never seen such a good-for-nothing, but no one in the circle had ever carefully cultivated a son who could be this useless, and no one in power had ever been so blind. He had truly seen something new...
"I had someone give that family some pointers. They'll split the compensation 50/50. Anyway, they won't dare to confront Zhou Muyuan. This time, we can help you get all the money from that mother and son."
It was pretty much as Shan Song had predicted, but it was still quite surprising that it turned out this way; it seemed like he was afraid of not being able to hand the Zhou family over to him.
Shan Song smiled: "Let Tai Yue prepare to acquire the shares. He's so proactive, I have to seize the opportunity."
"You don't need to tell me." Qi Changzhou said with disdain, and began to instruct him directly: "I have kept evidence of this matter. When the time is right, I will ask the police to approve the arrest. He is the only precious son in my heart. In the end, he not only failed to help, but was also betrayed. I guarantee that Zhou Muyuan will be so angry that he will vomit blood."
Shan Song, unusually, didn't argue: "Thanks."
Qi Changzhou rolled his eyes: "Alright, I'm making my exit now. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid my father will slap the whistleblower letter in my face."
Shan Song raised an eyebrow, not feeling guilty at all: "I haven't started working yet, otherwise how could I dare to interfere with Young Master Qi's service to the people?"
"Ha! It's as if the person who contacted me in the army before was a ghost."
"Good brother, you're my only...four younger brothers, don't take it too seriously."
Qi Changzhou, as expected of Shan Song's longtime friend, possessed an equally exceptional ability to grasp key words: "Where did you get a fourth younger brother from?"
There are only three brothers in his family. Would Shan Song include Zhou Xinlin in the calculation? Absolutely not.
Staring at Qi Changzhou's questioning eyes, Shan Song smiled calmly: "Of course she's my wife."
"..." Qi Changzhou's lips twitched visibly as he gritted his teeth and said, "Is this how you treat your good brother who would go through fire and water for you? You think you're so great just because you have a wife? You beast!"
"Qi Yan has a wife, and Tai Yue has a girlfriend. You should work harder," Shan Song joked.
Enraged, Qi Changzhou hung up the phone.
Shan Song sat there for a while, chuckled softly, and then turned to call his dear wife.
