Chapter 2404: Turning Cooperation into Alliance

Qin Changzhi left, and Old Master Quan slowly walked down the stairs, supported by a tall, pretty, and outstanding-tempered woman. This woman was about thirty years old, and her beauty was reflected not only in her appearance but also in her every move.

This woman was Quan Xin's sister, Quan Wei, a very strong and opinionated woman. At the beginning, she disregarded her family's strong opposition, almost breaking with the family, and resolutely married the seemingly ordinary and plain Shen Mingsheng. However, the facts now proved that everyone in the Quan family, from top to bottom, did not have as good an eye for people as Quan Wei.

Now, the economic lifeline of the Quan family was in Quan Wei's hands. It is no exaggeration to say that most of the Quan family relied on Quan Wei for their meals. Therefore, there was no such thing as "married water" when it came to Quan Wei.

Now, Quan Wei's status in the Quan family could be described as pivotal, possessing considerable say. The words she said and the opinions she put forward would be listened to carefully and considered cautiously even by the Old Master.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

Quan Gengsi and Li Fang stood up when they saw the Old Master coming down.

Quan Wei supported the Old Master over, then carefully helped him sit down.

After the Old Master sat steadily, Quan Wei poured him a cup of tea, then turned back, but with undisguised mockery on her face: "This person Qin Changzhi is really quite interesting."

Quan Wei placed the teacup in front of the Old Master, then sat down, saying with a half-smile: "A leader of the younger generation, heh, being flattered too much, I'm afraid he took it seriously himself."

"You can't say it like that!"

Quan Gengsi subconsciously reached out to take the cigarette on the coffee table, but just as he picked up the cigarette box, he felt his daughter's warning gaze. Quan Gengsi's expression didn't change at all, and he very naturally put the cigarette back, cleared his throat, and said.

"Qin Changzhi's ability is still very strong; otherwise, how could he, at such a young age, become the Executive Vice Mayor of a provincial capital city?"

"How did he get this position of Executive Vice Mayor? Others might not know, but don't you know?" Quan Wei looked disdainful, and the mockery in her tone was even stronger: "I guess he must be very stifled sitting in this position."

Quan Gengsi opened his mouth, wanting to refute his daughter, but found himself speechless, because what Quan Wei said was not wrong. At the beginning, Qin Changzhi was transferred to Jiangzhou to serve as the full-time Deputy Secretary, and almost everyone could see that he was there to pick peaches.

Coupled with the support of the Tong family behind Qin Changzhi, this made people feel that there would definitely be a fierce game between the Tong family and the Cheng family in Jiangzhou. After all, Cheng Zhanjun was not a person to be trifled with. He acted boldly, had a tough style, and had ruthless means, and in the end, who would win and who would lose was full of suspense.

Therefore, everyone thought there would be a wonderful drama to watch. So, everyone moved small stools, brewed tea, held melon seeds, and started sitting and waiting for the good show to be staged.

Sure enough, that Qin Changzhi, who was regarded as the leader of the younger generation, did not hesitate to raise his knife against Jiangzhou Winery and Zhou Andong after arriving in Jiangzhou, and many people were so stimulated that their adrenaline soared.

However, Qin Changzhi's knife was indeed sharp, and the force of the cut was not small, really fierce and ruthless, but the development of the matter exceeded everyone's expectations. The knife was cut down, but not only did it not kill the opponent, the knife itself chipped.

This leader of the younger generation, Qin Changzhi, was always in a suppressed state in this game, completely unable to fight back, calculated to death by his opponent, and even forced to send his own allies to prison with his own hands, going to Fengjing to serve as Executive Vice Mayor.

On the surface, he was indeed promoted, but in reality, he was defeated in Jiangzhou, not only failing to pick the peaches but also losing both face and substance, including the Tong family suffering heavy losses.

Many people thought this was Cheng Zhanjun's means, and those who wanted to watch the Cheng family's excitement had another layer of fear for Cheng Zhanjun in their hearts. However, in the eyes of certain limited people, they vaguely saw the shadow of another person behind Cheng Zhanjun—that was Zhou Andong.

And the Quan family, ever since the conflict between Zhongbao and Zhou Andong, and the moment Shen Mingsheng decided to go to Jiangzhou to cooperate with Zhou Andong, began to pay special attention to Zhou Andong and launched a detailed investigation and understanding of him.

For a family like the Quan family, they always only believe in their own eyes, not their ears. After all, "hearing is false, seeing is believing." No matter how the outside world evaluates Zhou Andong, even if it is rumored that he is the son-in-law of the Jian family, the Quan family would never easily believe it blindly.

Therefore, the Quan family's understanding of Zhou Andong was far more profound than most people. Although some things are only clear to the parties involved and are difficult for others to investigate, one can see the whole picture from a glimpse.

Through some details, one can also analyze a thing or two. Just like the confrontation between Qin Changzhi and Cheng Zhanjun, although it looked like a fight between the two of them on the surface, the shadow of Zhou Andong could be vaguely seen behind it.

And just at this time, the Quan family discovered that Tong Huaiyu, who was known as the "Little Zhuge" of the Tong family, was also rubbed on the ground by Zhou Andong, and even sent in. In the end, in order to fish Tong Huaiyu out, the Tong family had to give up huge interests and lost the position of the squad leader of a certain province.

It can be said that after the Quan family truly understood Zhou Andong, they gave full support to the cooperation between Shen Mingsheng and Zhou Andong without hesitation. After all, cooperating with someone like Zhou Andong who has ability, wisdom, and means will definitely not suffer.

As for whether they would be pitted by someone as cunning and insidious as Zhou Andong, in the view of the Quan family, an entrepreneur with such a strong sense of patriotism like Zhou Andong does not have such a small pattern.

Not to mention, it can also be seen from the information they investigated that Zhou Andong is very generous to friends and partners. Only to enemies would he be ruthless and stop at nothing.

What's more, the family fortune of their Quan family is not even a fraction of what Zhou Andong donated. And Zhou Andong would not be stupid enough to ruin his reputation for the sake of pitting their money, which would not be worth the loss.

The Old Master took a shallow sip of the teacup, then looked up and said: "Qin Changzhi has ability, but lacks political wisdom. In the struggle with Cheng Zhanjun, he only has petty cleverness, not great wisdom."

Quan Wei smiled and said: "Grandpa's evaluation of Qin Changzhi can be said to be hitting the nail on the head, and that Tong Huaiyu, who was flattered very powerfully, what Little Zhuge. After meeting Zhou Andong, he has become a joke."

Old Master Quan nodded slightly, patted his granddaughter's hand very gratified: "It's still Weiwei who has vision, finding such a powerful collaborator for our Quan family. In the future, we must manage our relationship with Zhou Andong well and turn cooperation into an alliance." ===== CHAPTER 2405 =====
