Night falls.
Summer City is brightly lit and offers a rich and diverse entertainment experience.
Inside the private club, Hsu Cheng-hsi leaned against the main seat in the private room.
He held a cigar between his fingers, his long legs stretched out, taking up a large area of space.
He is not addicted to smoking or drinking.
He disliked anything that could cause physical dependence or cloud the mind.
He accepted the cigar Liang Shaojie offered him only because the news he had just heard annoyed him.
Liang Shaojie sat on the left side of the private room, while a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat on the right.
The man looked older than the two of them.
His suit was adorned with jeweled cufflinks and a gilded tie clip, exuding sophistication in every detail.
Her hair, like Xu Zhengxi's, was meticulously combed.
Xu Zhengxi called out to that person:
"Uncle."
"Is Xu Jinheng the actual controller behind the newly completed new energy vehicle project in Xia City Science and Technology Park?"
He had heard of this newly completed project.
Yesterday, Secretary Chen reported that Mayor Xia also asked him if he could attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
A new car company with no brand recognition has just obtained a vehicle manufacturing license and has immediately started producing new energy vehicles across its entire product line.
How could Hsu Cheng-hsi, representing such a company, possibly attend a ribbon-cutting ceremony? The risk of a scandal is too great.
Bae Hoon exhaled a smoke ring:
"Um."
"However, Xu Jinheng has only been managing the Xu family business for a few years, so Xu Shixin is probably behind it."
Xu Zhengxi flicked the ash from his cigar, his face covered in cold air.
Liang Shaojie snorted coldly:
"Uncle, based on your understanding of the Xu family father and son, do you think they'd be willing to take real money from Xu's Capital to wholeheartedly build cars for the country?"
"Two vulgar people who wouldn't get up early for nothing."
"If you really have that kind of guts, why bother with being a behind-the-scenes boss? Just go ahead and launch a big operation under the Xu family's name."
Pei Xun nodded:
"That's the problem."
"Let's see what kind of mischief these two are up to."
Pei Xun looked at his nephew:
"Zhengxi, we must remain vigilant."
"No matter what your relationship with the Xu family is, if the Xu family has problems, in the end it will be blamed on you."
“Your eldest uncle is in Beidu, and there are quite a few people watching him.”
"You've reached this position at such a young age, and there are envious people lurking in the shadows, just hoping something bad will happen to you."
Xu Zhengxi lowered his eyes and stubbed out his cigar in the crystal ashtray:
"Uncle, I need to keep someone by my side."
Two years ago, when he took up his post in Beidu, his uncle said that bringing people there would be too conspicuous, so he told him to leave all his people in Lingnan.
Now, we have to rely on our own people for many things.
Pei Xun raised his eyebrows, looking relaxed.
"Your dear grandpa has arranged everything for you~"
"You have people in every important department who are available to you at any time."
"And his old subordinate's grandson, do you remember Si Kangzhu?"
Xu Zhengxi nodded.
Of course I remember. I often saw him at my maternal grandfather's house when I was a child.
That kid was a man of few words, skilled in martial arts, and exuded a heroic air from head to toe.
"Your maternal grandfather kept him by his side for many years to train him, all for your sake."
“I brought him here.”
After Pei Xun finished speaking, he got up, opened the door, and called for someone.
The aura between people is subtle yet precise.
When Xu Zhengxi met Si Kangzhu, she could sense the chemistry and trust between them in just a few words.
From today onwards, Si Kangzhu will be with him, serving as his personal assistant and special affairs liaison.
Unlike Secretary Chen, who was appointed by the organization, it was inappropriate to entrust him with many tasks.
Si Kangzhu was a close friend and confidant of his family.
He would step in to contact people that Xu Zhengxi couldn't easily reach, and he would handle things that were inconvenient for him to do.
"I envy him; he has such a wonderful grandfather and uncle."
Liang Shaojie swirled the red liquid in his glass and sighed sincerely.
Xu Zhengxi's maternal grandfather was a founding hero who held a pivotal position in H country both before and after his abdication.
The two uncles were a politician and a businessman. The politician was based in the capital city of Beidu, while the businessman's capital was spread throughout the country.
He raised the glass to his lips, then, not wanting to drink, placed it back on the round table.
"I only have one silly younger sister, and she's the kind who's always causing trouble for her brother..."
Not long after Liang Shaojie finished speaking, his sister, who was known for her troublesome behavior, called him.
"Um."
"At the South Mansion."
"come over?"
Liang Shaojie turned to look at Xu Zhengxi with an inquiring gaze.
Xu Zhengxi understood that Liang Shile must have brought Xu Zhe with him when he came here.
He nodded.
I haven't seen her for a day, and I really miss her.
"Um."
"OK."
"I'll send a car to pick you up."
Liang Shaojie hung up the phone and sent a message to the driver.
“My sister insisted on coming, and she brought Xu Zhe with her.”
He gave Pei Xun a brief instruction.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Xu Zhe."
As Pei Xun spoke, he glanced at his nephew.
When my nephew went to take up his post in Beidu, he actually brought the child we had adopted with him.
He found it strange at the time; this guy was usually so aloof, so why was he willing to take care of a child?
"That child has good grades, right?"
Pei Xun asked casually.
"Pfft~" Liang Shaojie chuckled.
He couldn't help but laugh when he heard his uncle call Xu Zhe "child".
Pei Xun looked at Liang Shaojie, completely bewildered.
Xu Zhengxi's expression remained unchanged: "Yes, I got into Nancheng University."
"Oh? Nancheng University is good."
Pei Xun nodded. "Coincidentally, you've also been transferred back to Lingnan."
"Based on Xu Zhe's scores, he is qualified to attend Beidu University."
Liang Shaojie was always eager to see some excitement.
"Then why don't you go?"
Pei Xun didn't understand; Beidu University was one of the top universities in the country.
