~7 min read 1,328 words

"Grandpa, Grandma!" Zhou Andong greeted them and sat down holding Su Su: "Mom, when are you going back?"

Gu Minglan said: "Tomorrow, I'll take Su Su back to stay for a few days."

"Take her away quickly."

Zhou Andong smiled, looked at the old man, and told him about the Falun matter.

"I think this matter is very serious, we must strike at it as soon as possible. Once their power grows, it will be difficult to control."

The old man had heard of this Falun, and his brow furrowed: "Is it that serious?"

Zhou Andong said seriously: "In ancient times, that would be an out-and-out cult, and there might be hostile forces supporting it behind the scenes."

The old man nodded: "I see, I will arrange for people to investigate."

Zhou Andong didn't have anything else to do, he just came over to have a meal with his mother-in-law.

After eating and chatting for a while, seeing that the time was about right, Zhou Andong asked Jian Qiu.

"Are you going or not?"

Jian Qiu was lazily reclining on the sofa, holding the remote control and changing channels.

"I'm staying with Mom tonight."

"Okay!"

Zhou Andong glanced at Su Su, who was fast asleep in Gu Minglan's arms.

"Sleeping at this hour, I wonder if she'll sleep at night."

"You go your way." Gu Minglan waved her hand: "Go quickly, don't wake the child up."

Zhou Andong rubbed his nose and turned to walk out.

It was only past four when he arrived at the first bar, but Tang Lin had already arrived.

What surprised him was that Nie Wen was also there; it seemed that good news was near.

If Tang Lin were still struggling, Nie Wen wouldn't have appeared here.

"Brother Dong!" Nie Wen raised her hand and greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Andong blinked: "Miss Nie, you've always called me by my name, but calling me Brother Dong today makes me very terrified."

The smile on Nie Wen's face was very bright, and there was an unmelting glow of happiness in her eyes.

"I'm just following my husband's lead; whatever Dalin calls you, I naturally have to follow."

"Oh?"

Zhou Andong gave an "oh" and said with a smile: "It seems Miss Nie has finally achieved her wish."

Nie Wen said very seriously: "I have to thank you for this; if you hadn't persuaded this bastard, maybe we would really have had no fate in this life."

Zhou Andong sat down, beckoned for a waiter, and ordered a glass of cold boiled water.

"Actually, I didn't say anything. The reason he could figure it out is because he has you in his heart and truly likes you; otherwise, it would be useless no matter what outsiders said."

"Why talk about this." Tang Lin raised his beer bottle: "Brother Dong, let's have one."

Zhou Andong picked up the cold boiled water and took a symbolic sip.

"When do you plan to get married?"

"It's not set yet." Tang Lin shook his head: "Let my mom discuss it with her mom; whatever day we get married, we'll just listen."

Nie Wen said: "My mom's meaning is June or July."

"Ah?" Tang Lin opened his mouth: "Is it that fast?"

Nie Wen's expression changed immediately; she was too sensitive now.

"You don't want to?"

"No, no, no!" Tang Lin shook his head hurriedly, grabbed Nie Wen's hand, and said very affectionately.

"I just want to give you an unforgettable wedding, but it's already mid-April, there are only two months left, it's too rushed."

"Hmph!" Nie Wen gave a hmph, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what: "What unforgettable or not, as long as we can be together, I don't care."

Zhou Andong was caught off guard by this dog food.

"I'm telling you two, if you want to show off your affection, go home and show it off at night. Doing it in public like this has a very bad influence."

Nie Wen rolled her eyes at Zhou Andong: "When you and Qiuqiu show off your affection, why don't you say that?"

"Do we?" Zhou Andong shook his head: "We're already an old married couple, that's impossible."

Nie Wen opened her mouth to say something, but before she could, she heard Zhou Andong say "Oops."

"Dalin, let's talk business, do you know a person named Zhang Jingkuan?"

"Zhang Jingkuan?" Tang Lin said somewhat confusedly: "There are many people named Zhang Jingkuan, which one are you talking about?"

Zhou Andong said: "Vice President of the Construction Bank."

"I've heard of him." Tang Lin nodded: "But I haven't met him, what's wrong?"

"I heard that this person is very greedy." Zhou Andong leaned forward, lowering his voice: "You find a private enterprise person in charge you trust, and go to Zhang Jingkuan for a loan..."

Tang Lin leaned his ear over and listened carefully. After Zhou Andong finished speaking, he raised his head with a look of doubt.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

"With him, it doesn't count as a grudge." Zhou Andong smiled: "But he has a very close relationship with the Kong brothers, and my moving against him is just wanting to sacrifice the flag first."

"No need to be so troublesome." Tang Lin said: "As long as he has really eaten shit, I can find evidence. Give me two days."

"Okay!"

Zhou Andong nodded. Originally, he thought about setting a trap to get evidence of Zhang Jingkuan's bribery.

Since Tang Lin said there was no need to be troublesome and he could get the evidence, he naturally wouldn't insist.

At the same time, at a newly opened seafood restaurant.

Zhang Jingkuan and Kong Xingzhong were drinking and toasting, their faces flushed red.

Kong Xinghua sat on the side, the wine in front of him untouched, just sitting there with a dark face.

Zhang Jingkuan put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up a shrimp and put it in his mouth, then looked up at Kong Xinghua.

"Xinghua, this matter cannot blame your brother. Offending Zhou Andong before was offending him, it's no big deal. But now that Zhou Andong has been selected as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Youth, things have become a bit complicated.

And your brother represents Zhongbao; everything he does must ensure the interests of Zhongbao. Offending Zhou Andong, not only does Zhongbao not get any benefit, but it also creates an enemy for no reason, so naturally, some people are dissatisfied.

Your brother's pressure is also very high, but since it has already been done, it's impossible to stop, otherwise, it would be a huge blow to your brother's prestige. Therefore, Future Culture can only be controlled by Zhongbao.

In this way, it can make those who are dissatisfied with your brother shut up. As for you, you can also get Future Culture; although you can't control it, it will still be handed over to you to manage, so you won't suffer a loss."

Kong Xinghua understood this logic, but he was used to eating alone. Seeing Future Culture being forced into a desperate situation and this piece of fat meat about to be eaten, yet his brother said Zhongbao wanted the controlling rights, how could he not be angry.

"It's not fear, but to give face to the Top Ten Organizing Committee."

Kong Xingzhong shook his head helplessly and explained patiently.

"The higher-ups just awarded Zhou Andong, and immediately someone targets his enterprise; what will the higher-ups think? More importantly, Zhongbao offended people but didn't get any benefit, the Group's Board of Directors definitely wouldn't agree.

However, if the Group takes the controlling rights of Future Culture, it would naturally be different. Because the Group already has plans to enter the cultural sector, acquiring Future Culture can accelerate the Group's industrial layout, so even if there is pressure from above, the Group's Board of Directors will stand up to it."
