No one spoke up, and the leader was dissatisfied, so they quietly continued their research. Actually, they felt quite embarrassed. They had physical examples to reference, yet still no results.
Zhang Shouyi didn't have time to pay attention to them and was the first to leave, with Secretary Wu following closely behind. He wondered, "What's wrong with this guy? He seems rather eerie."
Zhang Shouyi returned to his office, found the Second Prince's information, glanced at his photo, and felt utterly contemptuous. This man was clearly uncivilized. A barbarian!
Xiao Li came in. "Boss, Old Gu is here."
"Hehe, old man, you've come at the right time. You stay outside and keep watch; no one is allowed to come near here. When Jia comes over in a bit, just let him come in directly."
"Yes." Xiao Li was surprised. Why would the leader call Jia over?
Upon exiting the door and seeing Gu Chuanming approaching, he quickly opened the door.
Chengzi glanced at Xiao Li. The two now understood each other.
Xiao Li looked at the secretaries in the office and said, "You all go outside."
No one asked why; they all put down their work and left quietly.
"Grandpa, what brings you here?"
"It's nothing, I just chatted with someone here for a while."
"Grandpa, Jia is coming over in a bit!"
"oh?"
"You'll understand once you hear it."
After listening, Gu Chuanming simply tossed the recording pen to Zhang Shouyi.
"Anything is fine, even if A has to handle this."
"Hehe, are you waiting to listen together, or are you going home?"
Gu Chuanming glared at him but didn't say anything. Instead, he picked up the information about the Second Prince from the table and started reading it.
The door opened, and a very ordinary person walked in—the kind you wouldn't even notice if you threw him into a crowd.
"Leader, sir, this is A reporting."
"Okay, here you go." Gu Chuanming tossed the documents in his hand to Jia.
After reading it, he placed the materials on the table and said, "I'll await your instructions."
Gu Chuanming picked up his teacup, took a sip of water, and put it down with a look of disdain. "Your assistant knows you too well."
A: I want him to be incapable in the future. A man's incapacity.
"Yes, sir! Leader?"
"Just follow the old man's wishes. But we can be even more ruthless if necessary."
"Yes, I understand." A said, then turned and left.
"Grandpa, are you getting ready to go home?"
"Zhou Shixiong invited me to dinner."
The two exchanged a glance but remained silent. However, they both knew that Zhou Shixiong wanted to know the reason for Gu Chuanming's good health. He was anxious. Zhou Jianwei and the woman he had chosen for Zhou Yuanqing were now together, but months had passed and there was still no progress. Zhou Shixiong was afraid he couldn't wait any longer!
"Alright, I'm going to go play chess with him."
Zhang Shouyi stood up and personally saw Gu Chuanming off.
Zhang Hongmei got up in the morning, finished her Tai Chi practice, and saw the three of them running back. Wang Xinyi and Zhao Tiancheng were the only ones who returned.
After dinner, Zhang Hongmei worked on project planning in her study. This company encompassed every industry Zhang Hongmei knew.
It took three hours and ten whole pages. After finishing, I decided to go to McCann's. I knew that Beth McCann was going to such lengths to solve my problems, even if it might affect McCann's business.
This time, I didn't call Zeng Zhongkang; I can drive there myself.
The aroma of red bean paste wafted from the kitchen. "Aunt Chen, what's for dinner today?"
"Steamed buns with red bean filling and steamed buns with sugar filling. They'll be ready to come out of the steamer soon."
"Aunt Chen, I'm taking this with me. Can you make lunch at home later?"
"Sure, we also have salt-baked chicken, do you want to take some?"
"Okay, bring them all."
Zhang Hongmei waited another half hour, then left with some food.
Upon arriving at the McCann family's house, the maid saw the young lady in the car and immediately opened the door. Zhang Hongmei drove inside.
Annie was playing the piano on the second floor when she inadvertently saw Zhang Hongmei's car drive into the yard. She immediately stopped practicing and ran downstairs, where she met Zhang Hongmei at the door.
"Mom, are you coming over to play with me today?"
“Okay, I’ll play with my angel, but I need to talk to my grandparents first.”
Hearing the commotion, Huang Meihua also came out of the greenhouse. She smiled when she saw Zhang Hongmei.
"Godmother, is my godfather not here?"
"He's in his study. Look, he's come out now."
"I came here for dinner today, and I even brought salt-baked chicken, steamed buns with bean paste, and steamed buns with sugar."
"That's great! Just have the kitchen make another bowl of beef soup and we can eat."
It's just past ten o'clock, not even dinnertime yet. Zhang Hongmei squatted down and looked at Annie. "Sweetie, Mommy needs to talk to Grandpa and Grandma privately. This is a rather serious topic, not suitable for children to hear. So, could you go play by yourself for a while?"
"Sure, I haven't finished practicing my piano yet, and I still have an hour of game time."
The three of them sat in the study. "Red Plum, I heard about it from Carlos when I got back. I respect your opinion."
"Hehe. That's good. We can't hold McCann's back either."
I know you're doing all this for me. But if there's another way to resolve this, I still don't want the family to be implicated.
“I sent people over to investigate today. If it’s really as Wyatt said, then we don’t need to take any risks.”
“Godfather, I won’t thank you. But I will remember this.”
My adoptive mother knew that throughout history, those involved in the succession process had never fared well. I didn't want to plunge the family into peril because of my own actions.
"Let's wait until we have the results before making a decision."
Huang Meihua sat down next to Zhang Hongmei and patted her hand.
Zhang Hongmei took out the plan she had made that morning and handed it to Beth. "Godfather, take a look. This is the plan I made for the service company."
"Heh, so fast? I think all the people I've hired are useless."
Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't say anything. There was no response.
Beth McKen watched it carefully once, and then watched it a second time from beginning to end.
"Tsk tsk tsk! That's really impressive. Although these may not look very high-end, they are truly excellent projects. You three young people should keep up the good work."
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"I think it's perfect. How can I give you my feedback? Are you planning to hold it in China?"
Zhang Hongmei nodded. "Godfather, the main reason I do this is to learn some secret information that is not known to others. But I will not spy on national secrets. I just want to learn more about things."
Wyatt's words yesterday made me realize that I must have my own intelligence network. That way, I won't be in a passive position.
If something does happen, then a decision can be made right then and there. I'm not afraid to tell you this: I've also considered helping the eldest prince.
But knowing their true character in private, I think it's best not to get involved. Even if we succeed, it won't bring us any benefits.
