Chapter 2379 Meng Yunzheng's Advice
Of course, according to Shu Yu's opinion, she agreed more with Cheng Daren's decision.
She glanced at Meng Yunzheng, who then said to Lord Cheng, "I'll have a private talk with Cheng Xian and try to persuade him."
Master Cheng nodded hurriedly; he had talked himself hoarse but still couldn't convince him.
Cheng Xian frowned, "Young Master Meng, there's no need to persuade me. My mind is made up. Wait..."
Before she could finish speaking, Meng Yunzheng put his arm around her shoulder and led her toward the door. "Don't rush, let me say a few words first."
Cheng Xian's injuries had mostly healed under Zhao Xi's care, but they were not fully recovered. How could he withstand Meng Yunzheng's strength? Before long, he was led to the door.
Meng Yunzheng leaned against a pillar under the veranda. "I have a suggestion for you. Do you want to hear it?"
"Young Master Meng, it's no use trying to persuade him."
Ignoring him, Meng Yunzheng continued, "We all know perfectly well that the Cheng family is doomed this time. Especially since a relative of the Cheng family holds a significant position in the black market. After Cheng Wenbao and his sister were arrested, they implicated other members of the Cheng family. So if Lord Cheng gets into trouble in the future, who will help him or his children? If you really want to continue to be loyal to him, you might as well distance yourself from him first. With your abilities, you will surely achieve great things in the future. Then, when the Cheng family encounters difficulties, wouldn't it be better to help them?"
Chengxian was stunned. Yes, he was only thinking about sticking with the adults, how could he not have thought about preparing a way out for them first?
Meng Yunzheng's words were like a wake-up call, making Cheng Xian suddenly realize the problem.
He took a deep breath, cupped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, Young Master Meng. I understand what to do now."
He returned to the front hall, where Lord Cheng was talking to Shu Yu. When he saw him return, Lord Cheng looked enlightened and slightly surprised.
The next moment, Chengxian knelt down. "My lord, I understand your good intentions. I will do as you say."
This time, Lord Cheng was truly astonished. Meng Yunzheng and Cheng Xian had only been gone for a short while, yet they had convinced him in just three sentences?
He couldn't help but look at Meng Yunzheng, who entered afterward, and asked, "What did you say to him?"
Well, whatever was said, as long as it persuaded Chengxian, that's good enough.
Of the guards, only Cheng Xian remains now, and Lord Cheng hopes he will be alright.
After discussing Cheng Xian's matter, Shu Yu asked about the selection of the shop manager.
Cheng Daren doesn't know much about these things, but Cheng Xian has been on business trips and has met all sorts of people, so he has actually come up with a few candidates.
He described the candidate's name, background, and personality, and also wrote a letter of introduction for him.
If it weren't for his injuries not being fully healed, Chengxian would have personally led them to find the person.
At this moment, Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng came to our door with four shortlisted candidates in their hands.
Upon seeing Cheng Xian's letter of introduction, the first person's expression subtly changed. Before Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng could even introduce themselves, they said they already had a place to go and declined.
Shu and Yu were both shrewd people. They knew that this person had guessed that the Cheng family was going to have trouble, and they didn't care much about Cheng Xian, fearing that they would be implicated.
However, this person is indeed as Cheng Xian described: he is good at assessing situations, has his own little schemes, and has a strong sense of awareness about many things.
After the first one was eliminated, Shu and Yu quickly found a second one.
