"Who says I have to take sides?" Zhou Siyu raised an eyebrow, looked at Qin Ge and sighed softly, "You people don't give those caught in the middle a chance to breathe."
What do you want me to do?
"Be a witness." Zhou Siyu sent Qin Ge two copies of the contract. "You can take a look."
"You agreed to Yu Wei's conditions." Qin Ge finished reading the contract and then turned his gaze to Zhou Siyu's face: "Why didn't you tell him yourself?"
“No, that won’t do.” Zhou Siyu folded her hands behind her head and looked at the chandelier slowly, saying, “You can’t tell him about this either, but you can tell Grandpa Yu and Uncle Yu. They know about it.”
"You probably didn't realize that Yu Wei wants to break free from the Yu family's control," Qin Ge sighed. "Are you trying to persuade him to change his mind by helping him behind his back?"
"Forgive my poor eyesight, I really can't see it." Zhou Siyu shook his head. "Besides, they are still a community of shared interests and won't go their separate ways for the time being."
"Although I shouldn't get involved in this matter, I still want to tell you." Qin Ge opened another contract and said while reading it, "Do you know why Grandpa Yu suddenly gave up forcing you to take over the Yu family?"
"Coercion? That's going a bit too far."
Zhou Siyu was slightly taken aback. Could there be some other inside story here?
"That's because you didn't notice. Grandpa Yu has been secretly suppressing the Zhou family. If it weren't for him, the Zhou family would have surpassed the Yu family long ago." Qin Ge kindly explained, "In the Yu family, the head of the family has always been in charge of the military, while the head of the family's partner is in charge of the company and finances. However, Grandma Yu passed away early, and Uncle Yu took over the military. Instead of harming his two uncles, he kept them in the military, breaking with tradition."
According to convention, after Yu Zhen took over the army, he should have tried his best to suppress his two older brothers, and even killed them.
But Yu Zhen did not. He kept the two of them, violating the family rules and challenging Grandpa Yu's authority. As a result, all three of them were punished. Yu Mao and Yu Jue had no descendants, and Yu Zhen had only one son.
"What happened back then..."
“It’s all in the past. I only heard about it.” Qin Ge waved his hand and lowered his voice. “But I know that ever since you got together with Yu Wei, Grandpa Yu has been helping you on the surface, but in reality he’s been trying to curb your development.”
For example, while it seemed that Zhou Siyu was involved in many large projects, in reality, his funds were tied up, which curbed the Zhou family's momentum in developing the real economy.
For example, a failing car company was given to Zhou Siyu, who invested a lot of manpower and resources, only to end up with nothing.
For example, they might secretly buy Zhou's shares, manipulate Zhou's cash flow, and wait for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Zhou Siyu.
"He did all this just to make me take over the Yu family? Has he gone mad?"
"Are you stupid?" Qin Ge looked at Zhou Siyu with exasperation. "Once you take over the Yu family, it's the same as merging the Zhou family into the Yu family. You'll become a free laborer, a thankless housekeeper!"
"Holy crap, it really is!"
At that time, his company will belong to the Yu family, the money he earns will belong to the Yu family, he won't have a penny, and he will have to spend a lot of time and effort managing the Yu family.
Lin Ling had previously hinted to him, both openly and subtly, not to get too close to Grandpa Yu and not to accept his kindness, but he was too eager to beat Chu Sheng and too eager to succeed, so he didn't take it seriously at all.
"But you're lucky, Yu Wei is taking the blame for you."
"Where did he help me carry it?"
Zhou Siyu really couldn't see why that busy person would care about him.
"Otherwise, why do you think Yu Zhen would go out of his way to work for you for free? Do you think Yu Zhen is an ordinary person? He's the deputy captain of the advance team, a big shot in the financial world. He can charge tens of millions for a minute of consultation, and billions are just toys in his hands."
After Yu Zhen joined the Zhou family, he secretly began to separate the Zhou family's business from the Yu family's business, and at the same time rejected several cooperation projects from the government, thus slowing down the process of the Zhou family being swallowed up.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't completely sever the connection between the Yu family and Zhou. So Yu Wei began to secretly put pressure on Grandpa Yu, sending all the old-fashioned generals left by Grandpa Yu and Yu Zhen to guard places that were easy to attack but difficult to defend, to undermine the arrogance and prestige of the old-fashioned generals. He himself stayed in the rear, holding command of the entire army in one hand and controlling the army's food supply in the other, forcing Grandpa Yu to hand over control of the Yu family.
He doesn't look like it.
Zhou Siyu stroked his chin. He had witnessed Yu Zhen's skills in the secret realm, but he never imagined that he was a person who played the financial game.
After all, his baby face was so deceptive, and he seemed even more childish in front of me. I really couldn't imagine that he would be a powerful and influential figure who could turn the tide of events at will.
"Can't you tell that those two brothers are just pretending to be naive and innocent in front of you?"
Qin Ge had always assumed that Zhou Siyu knew about this and was cooperating with their performance, but he didn't expect that she really hadn't noticed.
"We're not glued together all the time, so it's normal that you can't tell."
Everyone has a hidden side. Yu Zhen can pretend to be stupid in front of him, either because she trusts him or because she wants to take advantage of him. But now it seems that the former is more likely.
Where did all your intelligence go?
Qin Ge strongly suspected that Zhou Siyu had reset her brain at the factory, otherwise how could she be so stupid?
"It's too tiring to have to be wary of your own people."
Zhou Siyu shook his head. He could use the most malicious thoughts to speculate about others, but he couldn't do that to his friends and family. He would rather deceive himself.
"Never mind, I didn't say this to sow discord between you two or anything." Qin Ge finished his tea in one gulp. "Yu Wei told me not to say it, but I couldn't help myself."
Aren't you afraid he'll beat you up?
