"What kind of cooperation is it?" Chi Zhen asked seriously.
"Dad, Kate Group asked me to keep this cooperation project confidential!" Chi Ming said mysteriously.
Chi Jinchen chuckled, "Oh! If you want to keep it a secret first, why are you saying it here?"
Chi Ming's face froze, then he smiled happily and said, "Although it has to be kept secret, this is a collaboration with Nanjizhou after all. It's also the first collaboration I've discussed since taking over the Chi family. I also want to tell Dad about this news and let him know that he didn't make a mistake!"
Chi Ming looked extremely proud.
Chi Zhen smiled with relief. "Although this is a collaboration with Kate Group, you still have to be careful!"
"I know, Dad. Uncle Heng and I contacted Kate Group together!" The latter sentence was Chi Ming's confidence.
After hearing Chi Ming mention Uncle Heng, Chi Zhen's expression relaxed a lot. Uncle Heng's real name was Chi Shuheng. He was originally Chi Zhen's right-hand man, but later Chi Zhen sent Chi Shuheng to assist Chi Ming.
He became Chi Ming's right-hand man. Chi Shuheng was from the side branch of the Chi family, but he had a smart mind and meticulous thinking. He was valued by Chi Zhen and promoted from the bottom of the group. He has been in the group for more than 20 years.
"Dad, I know that I have just taken over the affairs of the Chi family, and there must be some shortcomings in some things, but I will communicate more with Uncle Heng!" Chi Ming said confidently.
After saying this, he gave Chi Jinchen a look that showed a winner.
So what if he's the eldest young master? Now that the real power of the Chi family is in his hands, you are destined to be a loser.
Chi Zhen's complexion improved a little, and he said, "I'm glad you think this way. You should learn more from your Uncle Heng!"
"I understand!" Chi Ming nodded in response.
"Yeah!" Chi Zhen nodded, then turned to Chi Jinchen and said, "Jinchen, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
"Don't you welcome me back?" Chi Jinchen raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently.
"Jinchen, you think too much. I would be very happy if you could come back!" Chi Zhen said.
"Are you really happy?" Chi Jinchen asked him without looking away.
"Dad" Chi Ming interrupted Chi Zhen again and said what he wanted to say.
"What's wrong?" Chi Zhen looked at him unhappily.
"It's like this. I've been entrusted with an important task, and I might not be able to go back to see Mom for a long time. I just want to ask if I can bring Mom home so that I can take care of her while I handle things properly. You know Mom hasn't been in good health for so many years! If I can bring her home, it will be more convenient to take care of her!"
Chi Ming tried every possible means to bring his mother over. As long as she lived in the Chi family manor, her identity would be recognized, and she would no longer have to bear an undeserved title and accept the contempt of some aristocratic families.
Chi Zhen put down his chopsticks and thought seriously, "I'll think about this matter again!"
"Okay!" Chi Ming smiled. As long as Chi Zhen was willing to give in, the next plan would not be far away.
Chi Jinchen put down the chopsticks in his hand heavily, and the chopsticks made a muffled sound on the table.
"What's wrong?" Chi Zhen asked.
"What do you think?" Chi Jinchen's deep eyes were already frosty.
"Brother, it's okay that you seldom come back, but when you do come back you should be nicer to dad. Do you know that dad has been thinking about you all these years?" Chi Mingyi said sternly.
Chi Jinchen said softly without showing any emotion, "Really?"
Chi Zhen looked a little embarrassed, so he said unhappily, "I'll think about this matter again!"
After saying that, Chi Zhen looked at Chi Jinchen seriously again and said, "Now that you're back, shouldn't you go take a look inside the group when you have time?"
Chi Jinchen picked up the red wine in front of him and took a sip, then said lightly, "I'll go when I have time!"
"Okay, then when you have time, go visit the group more often!"
After saying this, Chi Zhen pushed his chair back, then stood up and left the restaurant without any reluctance.
Even though Chi Ming looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, he was unable to stop Chi Zhen from leaving.
Looking at the departing figure, Chi Ming cursed Chi Zhen several times in his heart.
Damn old man, no matter how hard he tried over the years, he couldn't compare to this son of the original wife, right? Just wait and see, one day I will make all of you look at me with new eyes!
"You want to cooperate with Nanjizhou, but the situation in Nanjizhou is complicated. One wrong step can cause the Chi family to suffer an unprecedented blow. Are you sure you want to cooperate with Nanjizhou?" Chi Jinchen asked.
"Don't worry about this, big brother. I will be very careful!" After saying that, he stood up and left without looking back.
Chi Jinchen chuckled. With such a temper, can he be in charge of the Chi family?
Chi Jinchen continued to eat his lunch and called out to the door, "Hefeng!"
But in just a few seconds, He Feng walked in from the restaurant door and stood respectfully beside Chi Jinchen, "Sir!"
"Check Kate Group!" Chi Jinchen said calmly.
Hefeng replied "Okay" and turned and left.
Only Chi Jinchen and Uncle Xiang were left in the restaurant. Chi Jinchen was eating lunch as if nothing had happened, and Uncle Xiang didn't react at all. He just leaned calmly beside Chi Jinchen and waited for him to finish his meal.
On the other side, Chi Ming walked out of the restaurant with an angry look on his face, and just happened to see someone rushing over.
Chi Ming immediately became furious and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Second Young Master, I just got some news!" the man said breathlessly.
"Just tell me what's going on!" Chi Ming said unhappily.
The man swallowed his saliva, calmed down, and then said, "Second Young Master, it's like this. Our people just reported that the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family has been found!"
"Who are you talking about?" Chi Ming asked again uncertainly.
"The banker's eldest daughter!" the man replied. "Hasn't the banker's eldest daughter been missing for over twenty years? Suddenly, news came out that the banker's eldest daughter has been found!"
"Why didn't you receive the news before?" Chi Ming asked with a frown.
"We just found out about this, and the dealer is already planning a grand banquet for the young lady they just found. I guess the invitations will be arriving soon!"
"Really?" Chi Ming pondered.
"Yes!" The man stammered again, "You said that the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family has been found. Does that mean that Miss Yining will no longer be valued by the Zhuang family?"
Chi Ming looked embarrassed. For so many years, in order to stabilize his position, he had been constantly moving among the noble families in the capital. However, after those families learned of his identity, they avoided him.
