“We’re all family, there must be some misunderstanding,” Gong Changfan said.
“I don’t know if there’s a misunderstanding, but I do know that the port is under martial law. If your ‘nephew’s’ company is alright at this time, it’s fine. But if something happens, the fines will be very heavy. More importantly, it will damage your reputation.”
Gong Changming was so angry that his liver hurt after being outmaneuvered by Gong Chengjue. "What could possibly be wrong? A minor quality issue is considered a big deal?"
Gong Chengjue looked at him and then chuckled, "A few minor quality issues are of course no problem, but if it involves counterfeiting our Gong family's mark, then it's not just a matter of whether it's a problem or not."
"You're adulterating our Gong family's mark?" Gong Changfan's expression darkened slightly.
It's perfectly acceptable for members of the Gong family to own companies privately, but if they use the family's name to do business, then they have to go through the family's rules. Also, they can't fabricate anything.
This is a very serious matter for the family!
Family members are adulterating their own family company's products!
hehe.
"I won't go into the matter of tax evasion, but you're using the Gong family's name in private while engaging in fraudulent activities. Second Uncle, is this at your behest? You were right just now, your business..." Gong Chengjue sneered.
Gong Changfan looked at Gong Changming, "Second brother, what exactly is going on?"
Gong Changming, however, was enraged and looked at Gong Chengjue, "Didn't you just say you didn't know?!"
Gong Chengjue showed no intention of avoiding the issue. "Isn't this to save face for you, Second Uncle? To let you handle it privately? But Second Uncle obviously doesn't want to save face."
"You were all in cahoots!!" Gong Changming also hated Gong Changfan. "Is this how you act as the head of the family?"
"Second Brother questions the Patriarch's stance so easily?" Gong Changhong said coldly.
"Even you've changed." Gong Changming chuckled. "Changhong, you're no longer in business; in the entire Gong family, you were the most neutral person!" Once upon a time!
Gong Changfan, however, said with a cold face, "How I act as the head of the family is none of your business. As for the adulteration, you should think about how to explain it to the family."
What kind of mistakes can be made? At best, one can pay money and make a self-criticism within the core family; at worst, one can deregister the company.
Neither losing money nor making a written apology would Gong Changming do it.
He's desperately short of money right now, so why would he give it away?
Write a self-criticism? He already disliked Gong Changfan, and besides, he wasn't the one who directly made the mistake!
He was convinced of the family's unfairness, believing that it was unjust for the family to decide on an heir after the old master Gong divided the family property!
Gong Changming remained silent.
Gong Chengjue wants to cut ties with another of his companies!
Gong Chengjue looked at him expressionlessly.
"I don't know about this matter. I will let Hongyi come out and explain himself." After thinking it over, Gong Changming gave this answer.
This is about distancing oneself, cutting off an arm to survive.
Gong Chengjue remained silent, as did Gong Changhong. However, Gong Changfan, as the head of the family, could not remain silent. He nodded and said, "Second brother, there is nothing wrong with helping relatives, but we must also be mindful of the limits."
Gong Changming arrived in a fit of rage, but left with even greater anger, which he could only suppress.
Gong Changhong looked at Gong Chengjue and asked, "Have you told your uncle about this?"
"I haven't had time to deal with this yet," Gong Chengjue said frankly. He was thinking about how to make Gong Changming bleed a lot, so that Gong Changming would act more aggressively and recklessly.
"You..."
“However, after what just happened, I think the likelihood of him personally negotiating the illegal deal has increased,” Gong Chengjue said. “So, you guys agree?”
Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong didn't budge. "We'll talk about it when you get back." They wanted to think about it some more!

Su Ziqing had a series of nightmares. One night she dreamt that she was getting married to Lu Linghong, and Gong Chengjue was bombarding their wedding. Another night the groom turned into Feng Xixuan, and the kitten she had only seen in photos appeared, looking at Feng Xixuan with extreme disappointment...
She woke up and fell asleep repeatedly throughout the night. Around seven o'clock in the morning, she woke up again and finally gave up the idea of going back to sleep, even though she was still a little sleepy.
She was planning to return to City A today, but due to air traffic control restrictions, her flight was canceled, and she won't be able to get back until after 6 PM tonight at the earliest.
As it happened, Luo Ziqi was also in the capital, so the two agreed to go out for a stroll.
God knows Su Ziqing has hardly gone shopping in the past two months, okay? It's all about work.
Without applying any makeup, Su Ziqing planned to have some morning tea first, and then meet Luo Ziqi at the agreed place around ten o'clock.
Breakfast is very important for pregnant women.
However, she never expected that she would run into an acquaintance while having morning tea in the capital.
After Gong Chengjue left last night, Gong Changfan and Gong Changhong discussed meeting with Su Ziqing.
I heard she's in Beijing, so it shouldn't be too difficult to bump into her.
Su Ziqing went to a famous teahouse in the capital and asked for a private room with her secretary. They had just finished drinking tea and hadn't even had breakfast yet when someone 'politely barged' into the private room.
"Miss Su, there are no private rooms available at the teahouse. Would you mind sharing a table?" Although Gong Changfan has become the head of the Gong family, he still has a very youthful mindset.
Su Ziqing and Gong Changfan had basically never really met; they had only met at the hospital and at the Gong family home.
This fifth master of the Gong family is the youngest in line and has no children, yet he became the head of the family. Even she, an outsider, finds it quite surprising.
No private rooms? You're kidding me.
It's one thing to not have a private room for anyone else, but would it be the same for the Gong family?
Su Ziqing glanced at Gong Changfan. Although he asked politely, he had already sat down.
Clearly, whether she agrees or not, sharing a table is a certainty.
The secretary didn't recognize Gong Changfan and was about to speak when Su Ziqing stopped her, saying, "I don't mind."
"This is an authentic Hong Kong-style breakfast place. Miss Su really likes Hong Kong style?" Gong Changfan smiled as he looked at Su Ziqing.
"It's just a habit." Miss Su ordered a few dishes she liked, then politely looked at Gong Changfan, "Mr. Gong, what would you like to order?"
"I'll just have tea," Gong Changfan shook his head.
It seems like he has something to say?
The private room has a screen, and the room is quite large. With the screen separating the room, other people who are far away can't hear anything clearly.
Su Ziqing's expression remained calm.
Gong Changfan looked at her and said to be honest, Zhou Ruoling was really suitable for the Gong family, but sometimes being suitable and liking are contradictory.
Su Ziqing didn't ask. She and Gong Chengjue had already broken up, so she no longer needed to please the Gong family.
They weren't familiar with each other, and she didn't chat like a junior and senior. In an equal situation, it was only natural that Gong Changfan, who came to find her, had to speak first.
"I heard Miss Su is planning to get married?" Gong Changfan didn't mince words and went straight to the point.
