At last year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, this kid drunkenly said, "I'm going to acquire Taizheng Pharmaceutical in the future!"
The door of the ancestral hall suddenly opened, and the old man walked in with a dragon-headed cane.
The old man's age-freckled palm slammed against the bluestone slab, startling the swallows perched on the beams. "Chengrun! What happened to your mother back then was all because of your grandfather..."
"Dad, there are some things that our family should not even think about. The Xiao family is not easy to mess with." She interrupted the old man and dug her nails into the old scar on her palm.
When they divorced two years ago, Xiao Zhen came in person to deliver the documents for the manor and it was on this bluestone slab that he broke the ancestral jade ring.
The old man's face changed and he was about to lose his temper when a commotion was heard outside the ancestral hall.
It turned out that Zhenbei and Weiyi suddenly appeared with a group of quantum security personnel.
Zhenbei, dressed in a neat suit and with a stern look in his eyes, strode in. He glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice, "Everyone, be quiet. Don't try to get my fifth brother, Aunt Xie, back."
The cousin's son was still trying to be stubborn, but Zhenbei stepped forward and said coldly: "I know all the little tricks you did during your internship at Huasheng Mining.
If you dare covet Taizheng Pharmaceutical again, I will make sure you can’t stay in this industry.” The young man immediately became depressed.
These guys are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and they know who to provoke and who not to provoke.
The old man was also intimidated by Zhenbei's momentum and stopped talking.
Xie Chengrun looked at Zhenbei, feeling relieved. Zhenbei walked to Xie Chengrun and said softly, "Aunt Xie, although you and Dad are divorced, you are still Zhenxihe's only mother. With us here, no one can bully you."
Xie Chengrun's eyes were slightly red, and he patted Zhenbei's hand, "Good boy, thank you."
Weiyi also stepped forward and took Xie Chengrun's arm, "Mom, don't bother with these people anymore. Come back to the mainland with us."
Xie Chengrun shook his head. "I'm fine in Hangzhou. Taizheng Pharmaceutical still has a lot of things waiting for me to do."
Zhenbei nodded, "Okay, Aunt Xie, if you encounter any trouble, please tell us at any time."
At this time, the second aunt of the Xie family began to grumble again, and Zhenbei frowned, "Old lady, if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude."
The second aunt of the Xie family immediately shut up. Zhenbei and Weiyi gave Xie Chengrun a few more instructions and then left with their men.
Xie Chengrun looked at their departing backs and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
She knew that even after divorcing Xiao Zhen, her children would still treat her as family.
She took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall, ready to return to Hangzhou to continue working for the development of Taizheng Pharmaceutical and no longer be troubled by these troubles.
Xie Chengrun only hugged his mother, his eyes red, and nodded.
Afterwards, Zhenbei left with most of the quantum security.
The relatives in the ancestral hall looked at each other, no longer daring to have any improper thoughts.
Xie Chengrun knew that his future and that of Taizheng Pharmaceutical might gradually become stable under the protection of his daughter Wei Yi and their brothers.
After returning to Hangzhou, Xie Chengrun devoted himself to Taizheng Pharmaceutical's research and development projects.
Just when she thought the days would pass peacefully, an anonymous email broke the peace.
The email contained data vulnerabilities in an important R&D project of Taizheng Pharmaceutical. Once exposed, the company's reputation and interests will be damaged.
Xie Chengrun suspected that Siam's unwilling relatives were responsible. She quickly organized a team to investigate the problem and asked Weiyi to help investigate the source of the email.
During the tense repair process, Zhennan also brought top experts from Huakang Biological Research Institute to Hangzhou for technical support and to help Xie Chengrun with advice.
After several days and nights of hard work, the vulnerability was successfully fixed.
And Weiyi also found out that the email was sent by someone hired by his cousin's son, who wanted to use it to bring down Taizheng Pharmaceutical.
When Zhennan and Zhenbei learned about this, they were furious and directly contacted their friends in Siam and taught their cousin's son a severe lesson.
Xie Chengrun was deeply moved when he saw the children's dedication to him.
She became more determined to make Taizheng Pharmaceutical bigger and stronger, and she also realized that with her children by her side, she could face any difficulties in the future bravely.
One day in June, the starry sky over Fiery Shu Reef was exceptionally clear. Xie Chengrun sat wrapped in a military blanket in a concrete bunker, listening to the rhythmic thump of the tide against the breakwater.
The sound of footsteps returning from the shift in Zhenxi woke up the sleeping soldiers. The young commander took off his drill cap, revealing his black hair ruffled by the sea breeze. "Mom, why did you come here in person..."
"Your third uncle's building materials company is smuggling sand and gravel near our island." She took out a document with a red seal from her shoulder bag.
"Yesterday, the 'Coast Guard 21' seized radioactive materials on their cargo ship." Zhenxi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his combat boots left a half-circle scorch mark on the ground.
When her son took her to visit the barracks, Xie Chengrun noticed that every soldier had a family photo at the head of his bed.
When she saw the yellowed photo on Zhenxi's bedside table - when she was three years old, she was holding him and waiting for Xiao Zhen outside the delivery room, and in the background, the nurse was knocking over the iodine bottle outside the window - she suddenly understood why her husband insisted on sending the child to join the army.
"Mom, this is from Dad." Zhenxi took out a sandalwood box from the iron cabinet. On the yellowed letter paper, Xiao Zhen's handwriting was so strong that it could be seen through the paper: "Chengrun, if Zhenxi is not useful, just treat him as dead..."
The last line is blurred by the sea water, and you can vaguely make out "But you must remember, the Xiao family must always hold the abacus tightly."
Xie Chengrun's hands trembled slightly. She had never thought that Xiao Zhen would say such a thing.
She was silent for a long time, feeling a mixture of emotions. At this moment, her comrades from Zhenxi came running over and reported that they had spotted an unidentified vessel approaching Yongshu Reef with suspicious behavior.
