Just when everyone was on the verge of grief, Xiang Pengfei suddenly said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go buy you some food so you won't go hungry!"
Huang Gang stopped him, saying, "Young man, don't bother. I have to go back to a meeting. It's the time for the meeting anyway, and I specifically asked for leave to come here."
"Oh, then I'll buy some for my uncle."
"Alright, go ahead! It seems you're quite filial. Tu Nan can't come because of his leg problem, so you should do your best to show him filial piety!"
“I have been blessed with kindness from my uncle and aunt since I was a child. If I don’t repay their kindness, I’m not human!”
"Alright! Go ahead, but be careful on the road!"
As soon as Xiang Pengfei left the ward, Huang Gang said to Zhuang Chaoying, "Your nephew is quite good, but he didn't follow the right person. Our People's Congress has already started investigating Yan Zhijun, and I'm afraid many people will be implicated!"
"Will our Pengfei be implicated as well?"
"If he hasn't done anything illegal, he should be fine. It all depends on his luck!"
Zhuang Chaoying's face immediately showed a troubled expression. He said, "Pengfei has come a long way, brother. If you can help him, please do so!"
Huang Gang, however, said with a resolute expression, "What? You want to pull some strings for Xiang Pengfei!"
Zhuang Chaoying quickly denied it, saying, "No, no, it's just that it wasn't easy for him to get to this point. He just started a family, so how could I not feel sorry for him if something happened to him?"
Huang Gang sighed and said, "I know he's had a tough time, so I specifically reminded him that it's best to stay away from Yan Zhijun, otherwise he might get implicated!"
"I understand, brother. I'll try to persuade him again when he gets here!"
"Okay, that's all for now. I'll head back now and see how their research is going!"
"Alright! Then I won't keep you any longer, bro!"
As soon as Huang Gang stood up, Huang Zijuan went to help her father, and the two of them walked towards the door.
Zhuang Chaoying saw the two to the door before turning back to the bedside. Looking at Huang Ling, he couldn't help but shed tears, murmuring, "Huang Ling, wake up! If you wake up, we can live a better life! Look, Tu Nan has a girlfriend now! He'll be waiting for you to hold his grandson in the future!"
Meanwhile, Xiang Pengfei, who had gone to buy food for Zhuang Chaoying, left the hospital and wanted to buy some takeout for her at a nearby restaurant. However, he hadn't gone far from the hospital when he felt someone following him. For his safety, he suddenly turned around and was startled to see a thin man.
Upon seeing this person, Xiang Pengfei couldn't help but exclaim, "Wei San, what are you doing here?"
Wei San cried out, "Brother Xiang, please save me, please save me!"
Xiang Pengfei said, puzzled, "Save you? I'm not a policeman, what business is it of mys?"
"Brother Xiang, you don't know, Zhou Chengzhi, he wants to beat me to death, I have nowhere to hide!"
"Zhou Chengzhi? Why? Did you offend him? Wait a minute, weren't you fired from our company for getting freelance work for him?"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, Brother Xiang, please forgive me just this once, you must save me, otherwise Zhou Chengzhi will beat me to death!"
Xiang Pengfei asked in disbelief, "Why? Why would he kill you?"
"Yesterday I was feeling really down, so I went to Zhou Chengzhi's cinema and had a little argument with Wu Shanshan. I didn't expect their cinema to be raided in the afternoon. Wu Shanshan then falsely accused me, saying that I had reported them and that Zhou Chengzhi had taught me a lesson!"
Xiang Pengfei actually laughed and said, "Weren't you two getting along really well? How did you end up being hunted down?"
"I was also blinded by money at first, and I never thought he was this kind of person. I forgot that I once risked my life for him!"
"Heh, you risked your life for that too? It was just adding a little something extra for him on the transport line, wasn't it?"
"They risked their lives together; he's an ungrateful bastard!"
How do you want me to help you?
"Please put in a good word for me. After all, he's your brother-in-law, and family members can always speak up for him, right?"
"Yes, I'm his brother-in-law, and he's my brother-in-law. You know exactly who's in charge, but we've had a falling out, you know that?"
Wei San was taken aback and said, "What did he do to you? Boss, should I have someone smash up his movie theater?"
"Ha, you're barely able to save yourself, and you're still thinking of helping me?"
"That's different, Brother Xiang. If he's chasing me, I can run away, but if he's going to mess with you, I'll fight him to the death. It's not the same!"
"I'll help you because of what you said, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out."
"I know, I know, I'll just leave it to fate!"
"Okay, I have other things to do, that's all!"
After saying goodbye to Wei San, Xiang Pengfei went into a small restaurant, ordered two meals, and brought them back to the ward. He said to Zhuang Chaoying, "Uncle, are you starving? I bought you wontons and millet porridge for my aunt. Have this for now, and I'll treat you to two more meals after she's discharged!"
"Alright, right now Tu Nan's legs aren't very strong, and Xiao Ting is heavily pregnant, so they can't be relied on. You're much stronger than both of them now!"
"This is nothing. I've been taken care of by my aunt and you since I was little. If I don't do my part, I'd be a terrible person!"
"Sigh, no need for words of gratitude. There's nothing else here, so you should go back now!"
"Okay, I'll come see you again when I have time!"
Let's go!
Meanwhile, Zhou Chengzhi, who was waiting for Vice Mayor Yan in his office, waited for more than half an hour before finally meeting this important figure.
As soon as Yan Zhijun saw Zhou Chengzhi, he said, "You've been waiting for me so patiently, is there something you need?"
Zhou Chengzhi laughed and said, "It's nothing! I just wanted to know about the demolition and relocation!"
"The municipal party committee has already made up its mind to carry out the shantytown renovation project to improve the lives of cotton mill workers, so this is a done deal!"
"So when will it start?"
"It should be about six months from now!"
"Another six months? That's a long time. Is it too early for me to start now?"
"If you can hold onto this secret and seize the opportunity, making a fortune is not impossible!"
"With the bookmaker involved, it's impossible to keep a secret. After all, Tu Nan's uncle is the director of the National People's Congress!"
Yan Zhijun smiled strangely and said, "I have some good news for you. Huang Gang is getting old, and I'm afraid he'll retire in less than six months!"
Zhou Chengzhi smiled and looked at Yan Zhijun, saying, "Is this true, Uncle?"
"How could an uncle lie to his own nephew? You're almost an uncle yourself! You wouldn't lie to your own nephew!"
"How could that be? Since ancient times, maternal uncles have been the closest relatives. How could there be any deception in this blood-is-thicker-than-water kinship!"
So what? Just go ahead and do it!
"Thank you, Uncle. If it works out, what percentage would you like to take?"
"Forget it! I don't want to fall into your trap!"
"Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
"You still don't know your place! During the New Year, you cut corners and almost ruined everything. Luckily, that guy surnamed Li had a problem with the blueprints, which gave you a chance to fix it. Otherwise, not only you, but I would have been implicated too!"
Zhou Chengzhi's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly said to Yan Zhijun, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I will definitely change in the future. As long as it's your business, I will do my best and I will never play tricks again!"
"Alright! Go and do your own thing! Your parents died young, and the fact that you two have happy families is a comfort to them!"
"uncle,,!"
Just as Zhou Chengzhi was about to say something, Yan Zhijun stopped him, saying, "Go about your own business! I have work to do, that's all!"
