Xiang Jingyi extinguished his cigarette, clearly not intending to continue the conversation. Su Lan didn't dare to continue either, and could only stop there, asking, "Has the murderer who hurt Zhizhi been found?"
"You only come to the temple when you have a reason."
“I’ve come to terms with the past. There will be no more ties between us. But Jingyi, I want to follow this news, for the sake of the Xiang family and for Zhizhi…”
Keep your thoughts to yourself, I don't owe you anything.
She didn't need to use the promise of never bothering him again as a bargaining chip in exchange for this incident.
——
Back at the company headquarters, Shen Shixun was also there.
When Xiang Jingyi pushed open the door, she first saw the man sitting upright, while Xiang Zhengyi was blocked by the emerald green screen.
As you walk in a little further, you'll see Zhengyi holding a teacup.
"Dad, you wanted to see me."
The aroma of tea filled the air. Xiang Zhengyi nodded and said, "Jingyi, please sit down."
How's the mine?
"It's alright, there's nothing wrong."
“Let Sehun learn about the mining business. The company is developing other projects recently, so you can do something else.”
Xiang Jingyi glanced at Shen Shixun and asked, "You want to build a mine?"
Shen Shixun was stunned for a moment, then sat down and drank two cups of tea. He chatted with Xiang Zhengyi about everyday things. Xiang Zhengyi told him a lot about Xiang Nanzhi's childhood, saying that she was very well-behaved and obedient when she was young. She started climbing on the roof and removing tiles when she was a few years old, and she could dance when she was a few years old. She even got a perfect score on a test when she was a child.
He asked him some more about the grasslands, and as they chatted, Xiang Jingyi arrived.
He was baffled by the whole thing and glanced at Xiang Zhengyi.
“Shixun, you are the son-in-law of the Xiang family. From now on, you are a member of the Xiang family. The men of the Xiang family cannot be bad.”
"If you don't have any skills, how will you protect Zhizhi in the future?"
Mining projects are different from real estate; they involve far too many things. Shen Shixun had also heard Zhang Yandong say that the Xiang family had reached their current position, becoming the richest family in the ancient city and an unparalleled force in the area.
Besides being capable of upholding justice and catching the wave of opportunity, he also has a good image as a compassionate entrepreneur in the ancient city, which is deeply loved by the people.
The remaining mines are those owned by the Xiang family.
The Xiang family owns the most mines, not only in the ancient city, but also in the whole country.
Xiang Zhengyi had a penchant for acquiring mines in his early years, and he had his eye on them long before anyone else had even begun to develop a business sense.
Mines and steel were the foundation of the Xiang family's fortune. Allowing him to get involved in mining was tantamount to having one foot in the Xiang family's coffers.
There is no doubt that Xiang Jingyi also knew this, which is why he was so vigilant.
Xiang Zhengyi had never told him this before; it happened so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.
"Dad, I don't understand these things, I still..."
"Jingyi, I'm leaving this to you. Take Shixun to see both the mines in the ancient city and those in the special zone."
Even when Xiang Ciyuan asked the old man for the mine, Xiang Zhengyi refused to budge.
"Okay, Dad."
Xiang Jingyi wanted to ask him what to do about the two construction sites he was in charge of, but he didn't ask the question.
Once he takes over the mine, those two small real estate projects are nothing to worry about.
Xiang Jingyi went out first, and Shen Shixun quickly stood up. "President Xiang, I can't manage the mine well."
"Master Zhou is a gangster after all; don't associate with those people."
Shen Shixun looked up, stunned.
"It's good that you want to make something of yourself. No man doesn't want to make something of himself. Zhizhi is a girl, and she can do whatever she wants as long as she's happy, but we men can't."
Xiang Zhengyi didn't take him seriously at first, only regarding him as a tool to restrain Song Ze from continuing to reap benefits from the Xiang family. He thought that Song Ze was a good person and that keeping him around wouldn't cause any major trouble.
"If you want to get ahead, instead of hanging out with those people, you should use your skills at home."
Shen Shixun narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that Xiang Zhengyi in front of him was increasingly unfathomable.
He felt that Xiang Zhenggang was kind in his treatment of his brotherly relationship with him countless times, and kindness was a stereotype he left on everyone.
But how could a truly kind person spend so much time mastering every detail of their surroundings?
He knew everything, but instead of immediately seeking revenge, he remained inactive, like a frog being slowly boiled in water.
He had been working for Master Zhou for a long time, and had learned a lot from him, making a lot of money. He had been turning a deaf ear to Zhengyi, but now he was suddenly being told this.
"He probably suggested you go overseas, telling you that you could earn more there."
Shen Shixun didn't speak, but poured Zhengyi more tea for him. "Your choice is right. People should know when to stop and not be greedy. He was also testing where your bottom line is."
"About the mine..."
"You have to take on the mining business whether you want to or not; you're family."
Xiang Zhengyi's gaze turned ruthless. "Zhou Erye approached me about that mine, but I refused. He's eager to sell it right now, and as far as I know, it will soon be back in Zheng Gang's hands. This is your chance."
"A chance for revenge?"
Xiang Zhengyi smiled but didn't say anything. Since he already knew, there was no need for him to repeat himself.
If he were to take over the Xiang family's mines, it would inevitably create a conflict with Xiang Zhenggang's mines. With both old and new grudges combined, if he didn't act, Xiang Zhenggang would make his move first.
The mines are both located in the ancient city, and two tigers cannot share the same mountain. Xiang Zhenggang is a strong-willed man, and he will not behave in a very unseemly way.
However, it would be unfair for Xiang Zhengyi or Xiang Jingyi to stand up against Xiang Zhenggang.
Shameful things shouldn't be made public. It's best for everyone to keep family conflicts to themselves. This bad guy shouldn't be someone from the Xiang family.
