Chapter 168: Director Qi Reveals Important Information

I was holding my phone, wondering what Director Qi meant— not buying a villa and settling in the UK, why does he want to come back.

I said, "Director Qi, one region's water and soil nurtures its people; we were born here, we certainly wouldn't adapt abroad."

It would be great if you could come back.

We could gather together again."

"Jianqiang, you're right— one region's water and soil nurtures its people, that's absolutely true. People my age really shouldn't go out; it's hard to adapt abroad. But Yang Tao and Ya Ya quickly adapted to life here."

"Being young is still better." Director Qi sighed over the phone.

"Ya Ya, do you plan to let her study high school in the UK? I heard their high schools are good; if she studies seriously, she can get into a prestigious UK university." I asked.

"Because of this, I argued with Yang Tao. I don't advise letting Ya Ya study in the UK; I'm very disappointed with the environment here— public safety is terrible, there are too many thieves, and young people gathering together either do drugs or solicit prostitutes; if Ya Ya stays here, she'll ruin the child."

"Domestic education is better— teachers manage strictly. Here it's all that damn 'happy education,' never asking about the child's affairs."

"Parents also need to respect children's privacy— damn, what nonsense."

"I'm getting more and more confused,"

"Yang Tao says the educational conditions here are the best in the world; Ya Ya must study here."

"Tuition is expensive; the key is that it only lets children learn all kinds of bad habits."

"When you have time, persuade Yang Tao to give up the plan for Ya Ya to study high school in the UK; anyway, I don't approve."

Listening to Director Qi's nagging, it's like an old man.

I laughed and said, "Director Qi, fine, I'll find time to persuade Yang Tao— who let Ya Ya call him 'dad' in the past."

Director Qi continued, "Jianqiang, this is all small stuff; there are a few big things I must tell you."

I said, "Director Qi, go ahead, I'm listening."

Director Qi said, "Regarding the future of Da Heng Group, have you thought about it?"

I said, "Director Qi, frankly, I don't even have time to think; now, to repay debts, I'm already worried sick."

"If we can't repay the debt, Da Heng Group basically has no future."

"Yeah, the future of Da Heng Group is really worrying. If we can't repay the debt, your Da Heng Group will also be devoured by the Southern Group. Do you know about the Southern Group?" Director Qi said.

I shook my head and said, "Director Qi, I don't know; the Southern Group was recommended by our Kong Shi. At the time we were in our toughest situation, only they extended a helping hand."

Director Qi said, "This Kong Shi, hum, has now become a force. Through internal information I learned that the Southern Group's behind-the-scenes boss is Liu Shiru. Liu Shiru, you should know, right."

Hearing the name Liu Shiru from the phone, those three characters, I'm still shocked.

"Isn't the Southern Group Zhang Zong? Previously the Zhang Zong of Lanling County— how did Liu Shiru suddenly appear?"

I hurriedly said, "Director Qi, I really don't know much about the Southern Group; I only know their Zhang Zong was the boss of Lanling County's Jian'an Company before, got into trouble and fled, then went south to found Da Heng Group. How Liu Shiru became the behind-the-scenes boss of the Southern Group, I truly don't know."

"I only recently found out— that Zhang Zong is a puppet; how could he possibly establish such an enterprise in the south? Liu Shiru is the real big boss; after Liu Hong ran into trouble, Liu Shiru fled."

"You should know Liu Hong had deep roots and a strong foundation; although he fell, his people behind him are fine."

"Liu Shiru relied on those people behind him to found the Southern Group in the south."

"Zhang Zong previously had dealings with the Liu family,"

"coincidentally hiding out in the south."

"they then joined forces together,"

"Liu Shiru let that Zhang Zong be the boss, while he himself directed from behind the scenes."

"Jianqiang, why am I telling you all this? Just to tell you,"

"who your enemy is— they are very powerful, and they've been watching you for a long time."

"This time they are determined to swallow Da Heng Group,"

"not only to devour Da Heng Group, but also to ruin your reputation and leave you disgraced."

"You need to know this in your heart and be prepared."

"I am very worried about you." Director Qi said.

After hearing Director Qi's words,

I then realized that actually, the matter behind this is Liu Shiru manipulating from behind.

"Damn, back then we didn't kill this brat,"

"he's come back for revenge."

"It seems I oversimplified this issue; I felt it was just Kong Shi and Zhang Zong teaming up to mess with our Da Heng Group,"

"but behind them is still Liu Shiru."

"What can we do? The information Director Qi revealed is too important."

I hurriedly said, "Director Qi, thank you for revealing such important information. I only now discovered how deep the water is."

"The enmity between Liu Shiru and us is definitely a matter of life and death."

"Director Qi, what should I do about this?"

Director Qi let out a long sigh,

"If I were in the country, Liu Shiru wouldn't dare be so reckless. Now your backer Zhu Sheng has already been taken down by them; without Zhu Sheng's support, you're alone fighting a lone battle."

"You should know how difficult it is for you to want to defeat them."

"My advice is for you to obediently hand over Da Heng Group; you have nothing, so who would still covet it?"

After hearing Director Qi's words, I immediately said, "Director Qi, Da Heng Group was founded by me alone; I will not easily hand it over to them."

"I will make them suffer mutual destruction."

After hearing my words, Director Qi laughed hahaha over the phone,

"Jianqiang, you're this old and still can't see the timing? 'Fish die, net breaks'— only the fish die, the net stays intact. These days they haven't moved against you; they just want you to rebuild the project better and faster, so they can take over and sell houses."

"Jianqiang, for some matters you should find help; no matter how tough you are alone, how many nails can you hold?"

Director Qi wanted me to find help.

Now I'm looking for who to be my assistant; this kind of assistant is not a person of little ability.

Who would be willing to follow me into the fire pit now?

I said to Director Qi: "Director Qi, who should I look for as an assistant? In my current state, Da Heng Group is about to collapse; who is willing to help me?"

Everyone is waiting to see me laugh.

"Jianqiang, ah, you still haven't understood; this assistant is far away in the heavens, close before your eyes,"

"Don't you understand yet?" Director Qi said.

I suddenly understood: Director Qi originally wanted to help me, but he is now abroad and already retired; how can he help me?

But I cannot say that.

I can only say: "Director Qi, I didn't think of that; yes, you can help me, and now only you can help me."

"Director Qi, you speak; I'll do whatever you say; I'll listen to you."

Director Qi laughed on the phone.

Then he said: "Jianqiang, you will surely doubt me in your heart; how can I help you, having gone abroad and retired, an old man—what use is there? Actually, an old man has his uses."

And I've talked nonsense with you so much,

The reason I called you today is to help you; I must help you.

You are my person; they can do whatever they want, but that's impossible.

Jianqiang, in a few days I'll return; don't rush now, don't act recklessly; wait until I return to talk again; their goal will definitely not be achieved.
