I took a drag on my cigarette, looked at Wen Han, and said,

We need to keep punctuation? Probably fine.

Mr. Wen, what should we do about the Da Heng Group? I'd like to hear your opinion. The Da Heng Group had already been taken by the Zhou family, but with your help it's back.

Translation: "Mr. Wen, what should we do with Da Heng Group? I'd like to hear your opinion. Da Heng Group had already been snatched away by the Zhou Family, but with your help, it has come back."

Now that it's back, its future and how it will develop are up to you, Mr. Wen.

Translation: "After it came back, its future, how it should develop—Mr. Wen, it's up to you."

Better: "After it returned, its future—how it should develop—Mr. Wen, it's up to you."

Wen Han burst out laughing.

Translation: Wen Han laughed heartily.

Brother Jianqiang, I've already had people look into the Da Heng Group.

Translation: "Brother Jianqiang, regarding Da Heng Group, I've already sent people to scout its situation."

checked the bottom, i. e., investigated.

Its assets are solid; it has advantageous real estate projects in Zaozhuang and good land resources.

Translation: "Its assets are decent; it has advantageous real-estate projects in Zaocheng, plus good land resources."

Moreover, its construction work has always had a good reputation.

Translation: "Moreover, its reputation in construction work has always been good."

Wang Ge laid it out plainly for me.

Translation: "Wang Ge laid it out clearly to me,"

He's asking for four hundred million.

Translation: "He wants four hundred million,"

We have to give it to him.

Translation: "This must be given to him."

Going forward, you'll still be running the Da Heng Group, Brother Jianqiang—I still have confidence in your management skills.

Translation: "Da Heng Group will still be under your management, Brother Jianqiang; I still trust your management ability."

Going forward, we won't need to split the Da Heng Group between us.

Translation: "From now on, we won't need to split Da Heng Group between us."

These are all ours together.

Translation: "These are all ours jointly."

If I'm eating, you'll be drinking.

Translation: "What I, Wen Han, can eat, you, Brother Jianqiang, can drink."

Hearing Wen Han say that, I thought to myself, he's tougher than Wang Ge— that Wang guy outright demanded four hundred million; this will be easy to handle.

Hearing Wen Han say that, I thought to myself, he's tougher than Wang Ge— that Wang guy outright demanded four hundred million; this will be easy to handle.

Wen Han doesn't ask for a specific amount, and doesn't differentiate between us.

Translation: "Wen Han doesn't specify how much he wants, nor does he divide things between us."

That means he wants it all.

Translation: "That amounts to wanting everything."

I'd end up being nothing more than a front man.

Translation: "I would end up completely reduced to a mere white glove."

The Da Heng Group is merely a tool for them to make money.

Translation: "Da Heng Group is merely a tool for them to make money."

I'm not saying I can't make money, but this approach is utterly pointless.

Translation: "I'm not saying I can't make money; it's just that this approach is fundamentally meaningless."

I've realized this all along.

Translation: "I've understood this for a long time."

Today I'll do Wen Han a favor that goes with the flow.

Translation: "Today I will do Wen Han a favor by going with the flow."

Just hand over the whole Da Heng Group to him.

Translation: "Just give the entirety of Da Heng Group to him."

And don't forget, there's still Director Qi's four hundred million tied up in this.

Translation: "You should know that in there also lies Director Qi's four hundred million."

The Zhou family is done; I believe Director Qi will be back in the country shortly.

Translation: "The Zhou Family is finished; I believe Director Qi will return to the country soon."

By then, things in there will be impossible to untangle.

Translation: "By then, the affairs in there will become impossible to untangle,"

Anyway, it's just talk.

Translation: "Anyway, it's all just talk."

Let's just pass the buck.

Translation: "Let's just wrangle with each other."

I laughed and said, "Mr. Wen is right— from now on we won't need to split the Da Heng Group between us."

Translation: "I laughed and said, 'Mr. Wen is right; from now on, Da Heng Group need not be divided between us.'"

The benefits of the Da Heng Group won't end up in anyone else's hands.

Translation: "The benefits of Da Heng Group will also not fall into others' hands."

Mr. Wen, I have an idea.

Translation: "Mr. Wen, I have an idea,"

I want to bring it up to you in person—I'm not sure if I should speak up.

Translation: "I want to raise it to you face-to-face. I don't know whether it's appropriate to say it or not."

Between us, there's no need for politeness— if you have something to say, just say it straight." Wen Han said.

Translation: "\"Between us, there's no need for politeness; if you have something to say, just speak directly. \" Wen Han said."

At that time I made a wish: whoever helps me get out of this predicament.

Translation: "\"At that time I made a wish: whoever helps me get out of this predicament,"

If you overthrow the Zhou family, I'm willing to hand over the Da Heng Group.

Translation: "\"overthrow the Zhou Family, I am willing to hand over Da Heng Group. \""

Now the person in charge of the Da Heng Group is my younger brother, Zhao Xiaohua.

Translation: "\"Now the person in charge of Da Heng Group is my younger brother Zhao Xiaohua,"

This is a pawn I've placed in the Da Heng Group.

Translation: "\"this is a pawn I have left in Da Heng Group. \""

He'll do whatever I say.

Translation: "\"Whatever I say, he will listen to me. \""

Mr. Wen, I'll spell it out directly.

Translation: "\"Mr. Wen, I will state it directly, \""

I'll hand over the entire Da Heng Group to you.

Translation: "\"I will hand over the entirety of Da Heng Group to you. \""

Honestly, after all this, I'm completely exhausted.

Translation: "\"Indeed, after going through all this, I am utterly exhausted. \""

I want to rest a bit— you just take over the Da Heng Group.

Translation: "\"I want to rest a bit. You take over Da Heng Group. \""

Of course, let Zhao Xiaohua remain as a nominal chairman.

Translation: "\"Of course, Zhao Xiaohua should still remain as a nominal chairman. \""

If anything comes up, have him report to you.

Translation: "\"If there are any matters, let him report to you. \""

Mr. Wen, regarding Wang Ge's four hundred million.

Translation: "\"Mr. Wen, regarding Wang Ge's four hundred million, \""

You know that too, so just have Zhao Xiaohua make good on it.

Translation: "\"you know about it, so just arrange for Zhao Xiaohua to fulfill it. \""

I'll put Zhao Xiaohua front and center.

Translation: "I will push Zhao Xiaohua to the forefront."

Wen Han gave a faint smile.

Translation: "Wen Han smiled faintly,"

Brother Jianqiang, I've heard you and your brother Zhao Xiaohua have always been at odds— how could he possibly obey you completely?

Translation: "\"Brother Jianqiang, I've heard you and your brother Zhao Xiaohua have always been at odds; how could he possibly obey you completely? \""

Mr. Wen, to take down a tiger you need close brothers. Some things I can only explain now— me and Zhao Xiaohua will put on a double act.

Translation: "\"Mr. Wen, to beat a tiger you need brothers. Some things I can only explain now. Zhao Xiaohua and I will put on a double act. \""

There's no way; for the Da Heng Group's sake, I have to deliberately fall out with Zhao Xiaohua.

Translation: "\"There's no way; for Da Heng Group's sake, I can only deliberately fall out with Zhao Xiaohua. \""

I'll put on an act just for Kong Shi and the others to see.

Translation: "\"I'll deliberately put on an act for Kong Shi and them to watch. \""

Make them believe Zhao Xiaohua listens to him.

Translation: "\"To make them believe Zhao Xiaohua listens to him. \""

Actually, Zhao Xiaohua and I have been plotting together.

Translation: "\"Actually, Zhao Xiaohua and I have secret plans between us. \""

Only this way can I maintain control over the Da Heng Group.

Translation: "\"Only this way can I preserve Da Heng Group. \""

No matter who takes charge,

Translation: "\"No matter who comes to power, \""

the Da Heng Group will still be under the Zhao name.

Translation: "\"Da Heng Group will still bear the Zhao surname. \""

Mr. Wen, do you understand what I mean?

Translation: "\"Mr. Wen, do you understand what I mean? \""

Ha ha, that's interesting—I didn't expect Brother Jianqiang to have planted an important pawn in the Da Heng Group.

Translation: "\"Haha, that's interesting—I didn't expect Brother Jianqiang to have buried an important pawn in Da Heng Group. \""

Since Zhao Xiaohua listens to you.

Then it's easy; you two brothers, it doesn't matter who's at the front desk.

Da Heng Group can guarantee the Zhao surname.

Brother Jianqiang, this fighting‑fun hall, after all it's about cricket fighting, it can't be made public.

I think real‑estate projects will be good ventures in the future.

When people have money in hand, the first thing is to improve their quality of life,

and that is to improve their own homes,

Who doesn't want to live in a good environment.

I've already had people investigate; I feel there's a huge wave of market for real‑estate projects.

Brother Jianqiang,

I've already said, what's mine is yours,

There's no distinction between us.

You can't retire.

Some matters still have to rely on you.

"Mr. Wen, I'm of use, it's a matter of a single sentence. But I'm really tired.

I need rest; Zhao Xiaohua is my blood brother, you command him as you would command me.

I'll find time to bring him to see you. Mr. Wen, my body is about to collapse, and on top of that my wife has already become a vegetative patient.

I just want to give my wife proper medical attention, so she can wake up a bit sooner.

I have no other wishes either," I said sincerely, looking at Wen Han.

"I can understand your heart. I've heard Xiao Fang and Shen Honghong talk about you.

You're a family‑caring good man; such good men are too few.

Alright, since you want to rest a bit, then rest properly,

If there's a place that needs you, I will definitely contact you.

Regarding your wife, I'll arrange the best doctor to go to Zaocheng specifically to treat her. Let her recover sooner, and fulfill your wish."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wen.

After I bid farewell to you today, Mr. Wen, I'll return to the Provincial Capital, first meet Xiao Fang, and convey your opinion to her.

Then if she agrees to come to Sijiucheng,

I fully support it.

She disagrees. Then I have no way.

"Brother Jianqiang, please try to persuade Miss Xiao Fang. Coming to Sijiucheng still has development prospects.

Moreover, Miss Xiao Fang has excellent host potential; Shen Honghong specifically told me about her, so I can nurture her properly.

If she stays crouched in a small place like Zaocheng,

it's also a waste of talent.

You must convey my words.

By the way, also Zhu Sheng.

I've already spoken with my father,

His past matters can all be cleared.

But he's old after all, the chance of promotion is gone.

He can only retire in an idle post.

You understand what I mean, right."

I nodded,

"Mr. Wen, then I thank you on Zhu Sheng's behalf. It's already quite good that he can retire in an idle post. As he says, having worked a lifetime,

and in old age still be wronged,

his heart will grow cold.

I will definitely convey your intention to Zhu Sheng.

Mr. Wen, I see you're also very tired; you should take good care of your health.

I'll leave right now."

"Leaving in such a hurry? Brother Jianqiang, when you get back to Zaocheng, first settle the Da Heng Group, and when you have time, bring Zhao Xiaohua so I can get to know him. Also, you know the matter between us."

Wen Han's words were very clear: he doesn't want me to spread their affairs more outside.

"Mr. Wen, rest assured. I'm very tight‑lipped.

I know exactly which words should be said and which should not.

Mr. Wen, then I take my leave," I said, standing up.

"Brother Jianqiang, take care, I want to give you a few things; after you arrive in Zaocheng, you still have to live.

How about this: you'll drive away in a moment.

All the money is placed inside the car.

In Zaocheng you can be assured of food and clothing without worry," Wen Han said, standing up.

"Thank you, Mr. Wen, for being so thoughtful. I'll take the car and the money with me, no worries. It was given by you, Mr. Wen, and that's my blessing. I take my leave," I shook hands with Wen Han.

Then I strode out of the house like a meteor.

Xiao Liu came over, leading me to the underground garage,

and then gave me a car key,

pointing at a luxury car.

Mr. Zhao, everything is in the car.
