Chapter 512: Again, Zheng Weimin?

Dad, if we ask Chen Yang for ten half-price quotas for Dongjiang New City, would that be inappropriate?

After Chen Yang left, Chen Bing questioned Old Master Chen's behavior.

Old Master Chen smiled and said: "You don't understand this, do you? Since I'm giving this quota away, Chen Yang's path in Xingcheng will be much smoother. If those demons and monsters want to scheme against him again, they'll have to weigh themselves first. See if they have the guts to offend the entire political and legal system of Dongjiangsheng."

Chen Bing looked at Old Master Chen, somewhat surprised. "Dad, are you trying to be his backer?"

Old Master Chen nodded slightly and said: "Chen Yang is capable of great undertakings and sincere to people. The huge changes in Xingcheng's business world over the past two years are all driven by him. If such a fine entrepreneur were forced out by those demons and monsters, it would be a loss for Dongjiangsheng."

Chen Bing sighed: "This kid Chen Yang really does have some ability. When I first met him, he was just a poor student. According to Lin Wei, all his spare time during college was spent working part-time. I never expected that in just two years he'd become a well-known entrepreneur famous nationwide."

Old Master Chen, hearing this, fiercely glared at Chen Bing and said with anguish: "All are descendants of the Chen clan—look at them: no background, no help, yet at a young age they've achieved such high accomplishments. Meanwhile, under my protection, you're already thirty and still just a lowly police station chief."

"That Chen Yang kid has sent you plenty of merits these past two years, hasn't he? All of it you've sent away as favors."

Chen Bing said with a solemn face: "Dad, I had a friend help me with something, but then I went and snatched their achievements— isn't that inappropriate?"

Old Master Chen kicked Chen Bing hard and scolded in frustration: "I never told you to snatch achievements! You just set up a joint case, gave yourself a participant's title, so when the higher-ups evaluate you, you'll at least have some confidence."

Chen Bing took the kick but didn't care. He laughed and said: "Dad, I'm still young; I'll have plenty of opportunities later."

Old Master Chen saw this, shook his head helplessly. "This son is probably beyond saving; the future of the Chen family can only rest on his precious grandson."

The more he thought, the angrier he got; he kicked Chen Bing hard again. "Useless thing, I can't even hope for you. Get lost to Zhong Lin's place and try to give me another grandson."

Chen Bing quickly slipped out of the study. After a moment, he poked his head back in and reminded Old Master Chen: "Dad, national policy only allows us to have one child. You wouldn't break the law, would you?"

Old Master Chen casually grabbed a book from the desk and threw it over.

At Xingcheng Women's Prison, Chen Yang saw Yexin again under Ma Haiyan's arrangement.

"No tiger in the mountain, the monkey reigns as king. I never expected Zhu Junhao, that petty clown, to dare scheme against me." After understanding Chen Yang's intent, Yexin couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Yang comforted her a bit, then asked: "Sister Xin, do you have any criminal evidence against Zhu Junhao? I can help get him locked up too."

Yexin shook her head: "Zhu Junhao is just greedy for money and lustful. Since he's already filled the financial loophole, you really can't do anything about him. You can't exactly go to a nightclub to catch him soliciting prostitutes, can you?"

Chen Yang certainly wouldn't let Chen Bing go to a nightclub to catch Zhu Junhao—aside from being pointless, it would also make Sun Changqing resent him.

He asked Yexin: "Sister Xin, who do you think is most likely stirring trouble behind Zhu Junhao's back?"

Yexin replied without hesitation: "If it's someone from Wuyou Residence, the most likely is Zheng Weimin. That guy's impotence is tied to you, so he'll definitely try every means to retaliate against you."

Chen Yang then recalled: Since Wang Haifeng beat Zheng Weimin into the ICU, he hasn't shown his face in public. Even Deputy Mayor Zheng, I heard, has suddenly become low-key.

"Sister Xin, do you have any criminal evidence against Zheng Weimin?"

"No!" Yexin said helplessly: "That guy's slippery; he only does his own business and never mixes in others' projects."

Chen Yang didn't expect to get any useful information from Yexin here; he felt a bit disappointed.

Yexin looked at him, smiling: "I guess that guy isn't after my shares; his real aim is just to disgust you. So deal with him however you like—don't hold back."

Chen Yang nodded. The last time Zheng Weimin was swindled out of over a hundred million in the stock market, his real estate company's cash flow must be tight. In this situation, Chen Yang has plenty of ways to disgust him.

Then Yexin said: "Chen Yang, if the company later needs to go public, my shares can be sold in advance."

Chen Yang understood Yexin's meaning: she doesn't want to affect the company's brand image.

However, he currently has no intention of pushing Xinghui Financial Investment Company to go public—unless Yao Xia, Huang BaiMing, Zhao Feiyang, and Lan Qiyun can all grow quickly.

After saying goodbye to Yexin, Chen Yang again brought Maotai liquor and Zhonghua cigarettes to visit Sun Changqing.

"Chen Yang, how come you're here? Isn't Zhu Junhao causing you trouble again?" Sun Changqing knows full well the character of his own brother-in-law. If he doesn't get what he wants here, he'll surely go cause trouble for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang smiled at Mayor Sun and said: "Mayor Sun, Chairman Zhu wants me to hand over the building materials business to him. I used you as a shield to turn him down. You won't be angry, will you?"

Sun Changqing, hearing this, said approvingly: "You did well. Zhu Junhao is totally not business material, yet he's always running around causing trouble in my name. For his sake, I was even criticized by Secretary Cheng a while back." After saying that, he sighed helplessly.

At that moment, Sun Changqing's wife also came out upon hearing him talk about his brother. She said unhappily: "Changqing, my younger brother already knows his mistake; don't keep criticizing him in front of Chen Yang."

Sun Changqing retorted angrily: "What the hell does he know about admitting fault! If I don't indulge him, he'll run to Chen Yang to cause trouble. The Dongjiang New City project is so big that provincial and municipal leaders all value it highly. If we let him keep messing around, how will Secretary Cheng and Governor Liu view me?"

Sun Changqing's wife, hearing this, softly scolded: "That Zhu Junhao—I'll definitely give him a good beating later."

Sun Changqing pretended not to hear, and he didn't believe his wife's words at all. After having Chen Yang sit in the living room, he directly said: "Chen Yang, from now on, whatever Zhu Junhao asks you to do, just ignore him."

This time Chen Yang sought Sun Changqing not for Zhu Junhao's sake. To avoid delaying his rest, he got straight to the point: "Mayor Sun, I suspect that Chairman Zhu's recent actions are all being instigated behind the scenes by Deputy Mayor Zheng's son. That guy keeps pulling these little tricks behind the scenes over and over—it's really annoying!"
