Cheng Junlin not only didn't care, but also laughed and said, "You brat! Aren't you ashamed in front of Zheng Yang?"
"I'm all grown up now, my skin's thickened by several layers, okay? Grandma, everyone says good things shouldn't go to outsiders, so why don't you introduce Zheng Yang to me?"
Cheng Junlin smiled broadly: "You think I don't know? You have someone pursuing you."
"Grandma! This isn't fun at all. Even though I have suitors, none of them are as good as Zheng Yang!"
I know Tian Xin is just trying to make Cheng Junlin happy, but even knowing that, I'm not used to playing along.
After a while of commotion, Cheng Junlin had his servants pour us tea and started chatting with us.
However, she was quite old, and after only half an hour of chatting, she started yawning constantly.
I took my leave as well, and promised to visit her when I had time.
After I came out, Tian Xin followed me out.
"Zheng Yang! Have you had another falling out with some domestic car companies?"
How did you know?
This has only just happened, so I don't think those car companies would just tell anyone, right?
"Because the person who is pursuing me is the son of one of them."
Holy crap!
"What did he say?"
"They decided to use their influence to force you to release certain people."
They also said that if you tell anyone there what blood you have on you, you'll be in trouble.
"There? Where is 'there'?"
"He didn't say that, he only said that the people there would definitely take you away."
What is all this about? The more you explain, the more confused I get.
"What's the name of the guy who's pursuing you? Can you give me his phone number?"
"Okay! His name is Xing Chen!"
Tian Xin then gave me her phone number.
Having a phone number is enough; I'll be able to find out the truth sooner or later.
Tian Xin's car was parked outside: "Come on! I'll take you wherever you want to go."
"No need, I'll stay over there."
I pointed to the opposite side, to the place guarded by sentries.
Where do you live?
Tian Xin looked surprised; of course she knew who lived inside.
"Yes! It's a newly allocated apartment."
Tian Xin seemed to not recognize me at first glance, and looked me up and down again:
"Wow, nephew, you've gotten to this high level now? I realize I underestimated you."
"It's just a house, nothing special."
"Keep pretending! Don't you know who lives there? Tell me honestly, what's your rank now?"
Did she think I became an official?
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. I was rewarded by my superiors for my meritorious service."
"That's quite something! You made me worry for nothing. I didn't know you were so confident now."
Um... I can't really explain it.
Just then, my phone rang. It was Mr. Sun:
"Zheng Yang! Where are you now?"
"I'm almost at the compound."
"Okay! Come to courtyard number four, I have something to tell you."
Old Sun called me, so I couldn't continue my conversation with Tian Xin.
After saying goodbye to him, I went to courtyard number four of the compound.
Old Sun seemed very anxious, pacing back and forth in the courtyard.
Upon seeing me, they immediately asked, "You didn't reach an agreement with the domestic car companies?"
It seems those car companies really are targeting me.
"What happened, Mr. Sun?"
"Several car companies jointly wrote a petition, asking the authorities to ease our relationship with Yangbenguo, otherwise their cars will not have any parts to use, which will have a significant impact on their businesses."
Is the higher-ups going to compromise again?
"Old Sun! So what you mean is..."
"Does Yang Benguo think we'll release them if we do this? We're the market, why should we give in to them?"
I was hoping you wouldn't go back to Langyu City so soon, and that you could stay in Kyoto and properly curb Yangben's arrogance.
"And let those blind fools in China see for themselves whether they should stand on the side of Japan."
I want to give Old Sun a thumbs up. He's absolutely right. Now it's their turn to make money off us.
And judging from what Old Sun said, it seems like he wants me to deliberately pick a fight with them?
"Old Sun! Am I being ordered to cause trouble?"
"That's one way to understand it, as long as no one gets killed."
Hehe! I like this.
"Old Sun! Where are they now?"
...
Jinshi Nightclub!
This place can be considered a den of extravagance for wealthy people in Kyoto.
Celebrities are frequent visitors here.
Mr. Sun told me that the foreign envoy of Yang country invited several car company executives to spend the night here.
Moreover, there was a CEO who wanted to introduce his daughter to the son of the foreign envoy, Yang Ben.
The person on my computer right now is that CEO's daughter.
She is indeed quite pretty, but the key point is that even if she's not pretty, I'll still use her as an excuse to cause trouble.
However, it just feels too far-fetched, since I don't even know her.
Stepping into Jinshi Nightclub, you won't find it as noisy as other nightclubs; instead, piano music will be playing in the lobby.
There are performances every night, so most people choose to sit on the open stage in the lobby.
I was still looking for them! Suddenly my arm tightened, and when I turned around, I saw it was Tian Xin, who had taken my arm.
"Aunt Xin?"
"You brat! You came to play without even inviting me."
"No, I'm here on official business."
Tian Xin pulled me directly to the table she had booked.
"What important business could there be here? Let me tell you what I have to say first."
"ah?"
It turns out that a friend of Tian Xin wanted to open an entertainment venue in Kyoto, but the permits hadn't been issued yet, and she wanted my help.
Just as I was about to say that I wasn't familiar with those leaders either, a voice rang out behind us:
