Yanjing (Beijing).
Inside a small restaurant.
At this moment, the small table was already covered with empty wine bottles, and the three men in suits looked out of place in the dirty and messy environment of the restaurant.
However, the three of them paid no attention to any of this. They picked up a bottle, tapped it in the air, and then started chugging it.
belch--
Jiang Fei let out a burp, put down the empty bottle, and grinned, "It's been a long time since the three of us brothers have seen each other. Let's drink until we drop! Ah Hu, are you raising fish? Can't you see I've finished this bottle? Why are you so slow?"
Ah Hu scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother Fei, it's just that I haven't had a drink in a while."
"What, you've actually managed to quit drinking?"
Ah Long and Jiang Fei both widened their eyes, as if these words hadn't come from Ah Hu's mouth.
"Well, Fei-ge, A-Long, you know my situation. It's not that my family is pressuring me to have a child. I've also consulted relevant experts, and they said that it's best to quit smoking and drinking while trying to conceive, as it's better for the baby's development."
"As you all know, I'm not very smart. I don't want my future children to be like their father. I hope they're smart, and it would be even better if they were as smart as Dong Ge. To be honest, I'm so glad that you guys didn't look down on me. I've made it this far, and I think my life has been worthwhile."
As he spoke, Ah Hu raised the bottle again, but Ah Long stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, you wanted a child but didn't say so. If I had known you were planning to have a child, I shouldn't have let you drink earlier."
"I'm just happy to see my two brothers, aren't I?" Ah Hu chuckled foolishly, never treating the two as outsiders.
He was genuinely happy to see the two people he hadn't seen in so long.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei showed little interest; it was Chen Dong again.
Every time he heard Chen Dong's name, he felt like he was living in Chen Dong's shadow, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not get rid of Chen Dong, this nightmare.
Logically speaking, he rose to prominence thanks to Chen Dong. Without Chen Dong, Jiang Fei might have died a violent death in the street one day.
However, human desires can never be satisfied.
These past few years of comfortable life have made Jiang Fei forget what brotherhood and sharing hardships are.
He wondered countless times if he could have developed as well as he has now if he had left Chen Dong.
The answer is yes. If Jiang Fei was somewhat uneasy before, fearing that his career would stagnate without Chen Dong's guidance, then...
Now, Jiang Fei is a completely different person, especially after making friends with many children of officials and revolutionaries. His once inflated ego has long since become restless.
Coincidentally, upon hearing the news of Chen Dong's company's troubles, he decided to confront his two brothers and use this opportunity to completely break free from Chen Dong's control.
No matter what, owning a small share of someone else's property is nowhere near as easy and comfortable as being your own boss.
Jiang Fei and A Long exchanged a glance. A Long quickly turned his head away and continued drinking in silence. Meanwhile, A Hu was still basking in the joy of meeting his two older brothers, completely unaware that their purpose in coming to see him was not so simple.
"Ah Hu!" Jiang Fei called out to Ah Hu, getting straight to the point: "Have you heard about the news about Chen Dong's company's troubles?"
"Something happened? Fei-ge, you said Dong-ge's company is in trouble? What exactly happened?"
Ah Hu looked nervous, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
So, Ah Hu hasn't received any definite news yet.
Jiang Fei took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, handed one to each of them, then lit one for himself. After exhaling a beautiful smoke ring, he sighed and said...
"Something happened at Longteng Electronics. I asked Lin Zhiyuan about it before, but he kept stammering and wouldn't tell me the truth. I finally got the definite news after making inquiries from various sources."
"To be precise, Chen Dong must have offended someone outside, and this time they're clearly trying to ruin his company. Not only in the European market, but also in the US market, they've issued hefty fines and banned his company's products from entering the Western market."
"This is...this serious..."
Ah Hu hadn't realized that Jiang Fei was talking about Chen Dong, not Brother Dong; he was completely bewildered by the news Jiang Fei had brought.
Ah Long pondered for a moment, then added, "I also received a similar message, so it seems to be true."
"Ah Long, Fei Ge, what exactly do you mean by all this?"
Ah Hu isn't stupid. Even if he's slow to react, he's honed his skills over the years. Besides, he's working with a business tycoon like Chen Dong.
The business knowledge and psychology learned are simply not applicable to the modern world.
“Ah Hu, we consider you a brother, and we shouldn’t be saying these things to you now, but this is a rare opportunity. Think about it carefully, how much have we benefited from following Chen Dong for so many years? How much has he earned, and how much have we earned? I think you know this better than I do.”
“But…” Ah Hu hesitated.
"No buts, Fei-ge is right. Let's not talk about that now, let's just talk about the beginning. We also invested money in it. How much did Chen Dong take, and how much did we take? Also, his brother-in-law Lin Zhiyuan did nothing, just led the way, and then took 30% of the money we worked so hard to earn. I ask you, are you willing to accept that?"
Ah Hu finally understood. These two weren't there to reminisce, but rather to rebel against Chen Dong's interest group.
