Chapter 877: Zhengzheng Wants to Come Back

"Yeah. He's my son." I said with a smile.

"This kid came to see me; I heard it from the secretary."

"Jianqiang, you had Xiao Shitou come; are you after money?" Manager Ji asked.

"Manager Ji, wanting money is only part of it; I mainly want to train the kid, to let him know that nothing is easy."

"Now, our Xue County project has already started construction."

"But the money we have on hand has already been used up,"

"We need sponsorship from big brothers like you, so I have no choice; I can only have Xiao Shitou ask you for help, Manager Ji—right now only you can help me." I said politely.

"Alright, Jianqiang, don't be polite with me."

"Tian Shi has already arranged it for me."

"This matter is trivial for us,"

"Like this, I'll first invest fifty million for you,"

"counting as our first-phase investment,"

"Later we'll increase the investment depending on the situation." Manager Ji said over the phone.

"Thank you so much, Manager Ji. Now is when we're most short of money; with your support, I believe our work will go very smoothly." I said.

"Jianqiang, this money isn't mine; it's Zaocheng Group's money, and we must follow procedure."

"Later, have Xiao Shitou bring over the contract and project description; we still need to review them." Manager Ji said.

"Okay, Manager Ji, I'll arrange that. Also, there's one more thing: I need your cooperation." I said.

"How should I cooperate?" Manager Ji asked.

"Make things a bit difficult for Xiao Shitou, so he learns that fundraising isn't easy."

"If it's too easy, that's not good for his growth."

"I just want to find an opportunity to temper his character,"

"Starting a business is hard,"

"make him understand that wanting success is absolutely not an easy road."

"Only then, when I entrust the company to him to manage, will I feel at ease." I said seriously.

"Jianqiang, you're preparing for the next generation—you're thinking far ahead."

"As for Xiao Shitou's fundraising, I'll give him a bit of hardship—of course, just some minor hardships,"

"if it were major hardship, I'd worry the kid couldn't take it and would get discouraged."

"Their era of growing up is different from ours,"

"in our time we all ate big hardship, so we're not afraid of any difficulty."

"Kids these days really can't take any bitterness."

"My daughter's college entrance exam is coming up soon; I had her get up an hour earlier, but she refuses."

"Jianqiang, let's leave it at that."

"Wait for Tian Shi to come back from Xianggang, then we'll drink together." Manager Ji said politely.

"Okay, Manager Ji, thanks for the trouble."

"Then I'll arrange for someone to send the contract and project description over for your review." I said politely.

"Manager Ji hung up the phone."

"I held my phone, thinking, hoping Xiao Shitou will someday understand my earnest intentions."

"I believe that a person encountering some hardship while growing up is beneficial; it can temper the will,"

"after all, the company's affairs will eventually be handed over to them."

"Among these kids, I currently have high hopes for Xiao Shitou."

"Sun Dajun is sometimes too rash, and he also likes not to use his brain."

"This kid Zhengzheng has no feelings for anyone; having been abroad so long, he doesn't keep in touch with anyone."

"Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that Ya Ling said she was contacting Zhengzheng to come back home; I don't know how that contact went."

"Shi Yong wanted Zhengzheng, after his death, to finally shout the way for him; I also don't know whether Zhengzheng would agree."

"If he doesn't agree, I'll just have Xiao Shitou do it."

"Sun Dajun won't work, because he has Qiao Jie; Qiao Jie knows she definitely couldn't agree."

"Thinking of this, I hurriedly contacted Ya Ling, asking if she had contacted Zhengzheng."

"The phone was quickly connected,"

"\"Ya Ling, how is Shi Yong now? \" I asked."

"\"Brother, Shi Yong, sigh, he's getting worse day by day. But with that little nurse accompanying him, his mood is still not bad. \" Ya Ling replied."

"\"That's good; having Xiao Qi accompany me also puts me at ease. I've already talked with Xiao Qi, and she's willing to accompany Shi Yong for this final stretch of time."

"\"Of course, regarding the expenses, I've already arranged Dean Yang,"

"\"I'll cover them myself. \" I said."

"\"Brother, we have money on hand; you really don't need to pay. \" Ya Ling said."

"\"Ya Ling, this money is something I must spend; I can do something more for Shi Yong,"

"\"I, Zhao Jianqiang, am very happy. \""

"\"I dare not go to the hospital now; seeing Shi Yong makes me want to cry. \""

"\"My emotions also affect Shi Yong; sigh, fortunately Xiao Qi the nurse is with him,"

"\"so that Shi Yong can spend this time happily. \" I explained to Ya Ling."

"\"Yeah, brother, when I get to the hospital and see Shi Yong, we just end up arguing. \""

We've already gotten used to it; I won't say any gentle words.

Having Xiao Qi, I also worry less," Ya Ling said on the phone.

"Ya Ling, by the way, you contacted Zhengzheng—how did it go, what did he say? If he doesn't want to come back from Japan,

then don't say much more.

Tell Xiao Shitou to handle it," I said on the phone.

"Brother, I've already gotten in touch with Zhengzheng.

He agreed to come back to see Shi Yong.

He should be on a flight within the next two days.

I'm just about to go to the Provincial Capital to pick him up," Ya Ling said.

"That's good. By the way, you mentioned Shi Yong's illness to Zhengzheng, right? And the matter of him calling out directions," I asked.

"I didn't go into details; I gave a rough outline, and Zhengzheng guessed most of it," Ya Ling replied.

"Alright, we haven't raised this kid in vain. If this boy doesn't come back, I'll completely disown him," I said happily.

"Don't worry, brother; Zhengzheng isn't a traitor," Ya Ling said.

"When you bring Zhengzheng back, we'll have a meal together," I said.

"Okay, brother; when Zhengzheng returns, I'll contact you," Ya Ling said.

After hanging up Ya Ling's call, I felt relieved; it's great that Zhengzheng can come back.

Actually, among these three kids, Shi Yong and Ya Ling are the kindest to Zhengzheng.

Because they have no children,

they transfer all the love they have onto Zhengzheng.

Shi Yong keeps Zhengzheng by his side all day, often introducing him to others; Zhengzheng is his godson.

Ya Ling still pays Zhengzheng's overseas tuition.

Being able to come during the final days to accompany Shi Yong, this godson hasn't been recognized in vain.

Zhengzheng is still a good kid.

I felt joy in my heart.

After Zhengzheng returns, I'll take Xiao Shitou, Sun Dajun, and the others to have a meal together,

These three brothers are my sons; we can reunite again.

Thinking of this, I really want to tell Zhou Wei.

But Zhou Wei hasn't woken up yet.

But Fang Rui said everything is getting better; I only hope Zhou Wei can wake up quickly.

Look at the kids; they've all grown up.

I muttered to myself.

By the way, Tian Shi and the others have been in Xianggang for several days, yet there's not a single echo.

I want to call and ask what's going on over in Xianggang,

whether they've gotten the money from Zhou Jie.

and whether Yang Tao's company can be used,

why there's been no reply.

I couldn't hold back; I found Xiao Long's phone number and dialed it.

Xiao Long answered quickly,

"Sir."

"Xiao Long, what's the situation now? You've been away for several days; have you seen Ding Li?" I asked.

"Sir, we have seen Ding Li,

currently, regarding the funds, Tian Shi and Zhu Sheng are still coordinating.

There are some things I haven't figured out either.

Tian Shi hasn't told me either,

just that he came back angry.

I can't probe this matter too deeply," Xiao Long said.

Tian Shi is very angry; could there be some change of circumstance?

"What did your Aunt Yang Tao and your father do?" I asked Xiao Long again.

"My dad spends all day accompanying Aunt Yang Tao shopping, buying crazily.

Sir, my dad, I'm almost speechless," Xiao Long said angrily.
