Chen Sihai went to pick someone up early in the morning and changed Chen Chunhuai's clothes, but Chen Chunhuai's big flat head was still very conspicuous. Anyway, he felt it was quite awkward.
Everyone in the Chen family came forward to greet them.
After entering the villa, everyone praised Chen Sihai.
After chatting for a while, Chen Chunhuai seemed a little tired and prepared to go upstairs. He winked at Chen Sihai, and the latter followed him.
After entering the study upstairs, Chen Chunhuai signaled Chen Sinan to close the door.
The two sat down.
Chen Chunhuai couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on? Why can't Si Nan be released? What's the point of getting me out?"
"This matter is very complicated. Even if I release you early, it took me a lot of effort." Chen Sinan said aggrievedly.
"Tell me, I haven't been out for a long time and I don't know what the situation is outside." Chen Chunhuai knew there must be something hidden, so he asked.
It took Chen Sinan a full twenty minutes to explain the current situation outside.
After listening to his story, Chen Chunhuai's expression became relieved. He said, "You did a good job. You are much better than Si Nan. In this case, you will be the head of the Chen family from now on."
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Chen Sihai pretended to be surprised. "It doesn't make sense, and the people below may not obey me."
"Do you want to do the same with me?" Chen Chunhuai frowned.
Chen Sihai lowered his head.
"I've heard of Xiao Jian before, but I didn't know much about him. I never thought he was so powerful." Chen Chunhuai sighed. "Since it's his credit that I was able to get out early this time, then you must have agreed to some conditions from him, right?"
Chen Sihai raised his head and said carefully, "I will participate in the Gansu energy project with him, and there will be more cooperation in the future."
Chen Chunhuai frowned and said, "Have you thought it through?"
"Actually, we have no other choice." Chen Sihai said: "I have been abroad for so many years and I know him too well. He has never given up on a project he has set his eyes on, and he has never failed. He is too powerful. Instead of making enemies, it is better to be friends. Besides, Shenlong Group is in its heyday now, and only he can put an end to Tang Xiaobao's deification. Not only me, according to him, super families such as the Xu family, Gu family in Yanjing, and the Wang family in Tianhai have reached cooperation with him. From now on, we will be an offensive and defensive alliance." "It is precisely because he is so powerful that I am afraid that you will be swallowed by him." Chen Chunhuai sighed.
Chen Sihai said seriously, "Don't worry. I once did some research on him when I was abroad. He is extremely conceited and never attacks his allies. He has some professional ethics. Moreover, his opponent's opponent is his friend. His biggest opponent is Tang Xiaobao. If we don't form an alliance with him, Tang Xiaobao will definitely find a way to retaliate against us. Tang Xiaobao will not let us go."
Chen Chunhuai was silent for a moment, then said, "Since I've agreed to let you make the decision, then you can handle these matters on your own. I've only been in there for so long, and I've really seen a lot. Next, I'll go traveling abroad. The future of the world still belongs to you young people, so work hard."
"I will definitely work hard and will never let the Chen family fall into the situation you are worried about." Chen Sihai stated solemnly.
Chen Chunhuai closed his eyes.
The atmosphere in the study became a little depressing.
After a while, Chen Chunhuai suddenly said, "What do you think? Will the four major families in Jiangnan be reshuffled in this war? How long will this situation last?"
"That's hard to say," Chen Sihai analyzed. "It seems that the Cao family has a slight advantage in overall strength, but our Chen family hasn't suffered any serious damage, and our pillar industries haven't been destroyed, so we still have great potential. As for the Luo family, although they have Tang Xiaobao as their supporter, they haven't had any outstanding figures in this generation, which may not be a blessing. On the other hand, the Zheng family has been keeping a low profile for many years and has been extremely steady in their work. But now that troubled times have begun, it's impossible for the Zheng family to continue making a fortune in silence. They will inevitably be dragged into the melee. Things are beyond our control. And there's another important news."
After a pause, Chen Sihai said, "According to reliable sources, the cooperation between the Cao family and Tang Xiaobao is definitely coming to an end. I heard that Xiao Jian and Cao Jianguo have begun to contact each other. This is not a good thing for Tang Xiaobao. As a result, the prospects of the four major families have become even more confusing. No one knows the outcome until the end."
Chen Chunhuai opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in them, but it quickly disappeared. He smiled and said, "Troubled times are coming, and the children of our Chen family should also be self-reliant. Okay, go and do your thing. I want some quiet time."
…
"Aren't you going to the company?"
Cao Jianjun looked at Cao Ying, took a sip of wine, and asked slowly.
The room was just the father and daughter, with no outsiders present, and the atmosphere was relaxed. "Why go back?" Cao Ying said with a smile, "Isn't it pretty leisurely for me now? I travel a lot when I have nothing to do. It was too tiring before. I was so devoted to my family, but what did I get in return?"
Cao Jianjun said calmly: "Is this still you?"
Cao Ying didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say.
"You are my daughter." Cao Jianguo continued, "Others may not understand you, but don't I understand you?"
Cao Ying continued to remain silent, but the smile on her face disappeared.
"Are you sure they have made contact with this Mr. Xiao who suddenly appeared?"
"Yes, someone from the company called and told me." Cao Ying said, "Dad, we've all been beneficiaries of Tang Xiaobao's kindness, including Grandpa. Why is it like this now? I won't be able to face her anymore. I can say with certainty that the family's decision is truly rotten. They're greedy and never willing to give up. Even if they can't continue to get the national general agency, they could have gotten a few better regional agencies this year, but now they've all gone. And the situation is bound to develop into a situation where they can't tolerate each other."
Cao Jianjun sighed: "You like Tang Xiaobao, right?"
Cao Ying was stunned and hesitated for a moment before she said seriously, "I have a good impression of him, but I know it's not love yet."
"You're already an adult. I used to be very optimistic about you two, but now, with this happening, regardless of whether you have anything to do with it or not, your relationship has broken down." Cao Jianjun said, "The most crucial thing now is your attitude."
Cao Ying said: "Even if we can't be lovers, I'd like to be friends with him."
"It just so happens that next week is your Uncle Wei's birthday. You can go to Bazhong on my behalf. It's a good opportunity for you to get in touch with him again. You must make your attitude clear." Cao Jianjun said.
Cao Ying frowned: "Why? Do I have the nerve to see him?"
"This matter is a family decision and has nothing to do with you. Why don't you meet him?" Cao Jianjun said seriously, "Besides, maintaining a good relationship with him can also be considered as leaving a way out for the family."
Cao Ying's expression changed slightly: "Dad, I understand what you mean, but do you also think the family is doing the right thing?"
"I never care about the family's decision, but my last name is Cao, and yours is also Cao."
"I don't accept it."
Cao Jianjun suddenly laughed.
"Okay, then try to change the family's decision."
