Chapter 2831

Zhang Yifei truly felt the heaviness in his father's tone, and seeing the stern expression on his face, this kid finally knew fear. As the saying goes, a father knows his son best, but a son also knows his father best.

Zhang Yifei understands his father fairly well; as long as Zhang Yuntong speaks in such a heavy tone, the matter is absolutely undeniable, so this guy also panicked.

"Dad!" Zhang Yifei said nervously: "Is it really that serious?"

"More serious than you imagine." Zhang Yuntong raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder: "Son, you don't need to worry too much. For us, this matter is a crisis, but also an opportunity."

"Opportunity?" Zhang Yifei's eyes lit up: "Dad, what opportunity?"

Zhang Yuntong smiled: "Tell me, who in our country does business the best?"

"Of course it's Zhou Andong." Zhang Yifei blurted out without thinking: "Although I don't like that guy, I won't lie with my eyes open. In making money, that guy is truly awesome, having donated over tens of billions, even Sony Entertainment was acquired by him, no arguing."

"So that's it!" Zhang Yuntong said earnestly: "You want to do business, Dad won't stop you, but following Wu Hui and his ilk in graft and plunder—what future can that have?"

Zhang Yifei's heart stirred: "Dad, what do you mean?"

Zhang Yuntong picked up the cigarette on his desk and lit one: "Following Zhou Andong not only lets you make big money, but this money is also clean, isn't it better than following Wu Hui and his ilk?"

Following Zhou Andong to make money, even if Zhang Yifei were truly an idiot, he wouldn't refuse: "Dad, what does Zhou Andong have to bring me to make money?"

Zhang Yuntong laughed: "You have what Zhou Andong needs in your hand; take it out and give it to him. No matter what he asks you to do, as long as you handle things solidly, he definitely won't shortchange you."

"I have what Zhou Andong needs in my hand?" Zhang Yifei asked doubtfully: "What thing?"

"Zhou Andong's true purpose isn't Bai健 Pharmaceutical, but he must get Bai健 Pharmaceutical, so..." Zhang Yuntong trailed off, his eyes fixed on Zhang Yunfei: "Do you understand my meaning?"

"Dad!" Zhang Yifei said hesitantly: "You mean, sell my three percent shares to Zhou Andong?"

"Idiot!" Zhang Yuntong cursed: "If you sell your shares to Zhou Andong, that's a transaction. You deliver, Zhou Andong pays, and then there will be no further dealings."

Zhang Yifei blinked: "Give it to him for free?"

"Pa!" Zhang Yuntong slapped his son's head again, but this time not hard: "Your three percent shares are an admission ticket; otherwise, why would Zhou Andong bring you along to play?"

"Makes sense!" Zhang Yifei realized: "Dad, shall we go see Zhou Andong now?"

"Not now, in case someone sees us and Wu Hui finds out, not only will we be in big trouble, but we'll also bring trouble to Zhou Andong's side." Zhang Yuntong pondered, then said: "Zhou Andong lives at the Garden Hotel; I'll have someone go to the hotel to see him, and we'll arrange a meeting tonight."

"Who are you sending?" Zhang Yifei asked: "Secretary Xu and the driver know many people; if we send others, what if the news leaks?"

Zhang Yuntong thought it made sense, so he walked to behind his desk, sat down, picked up the phone, dialed a string of numbers, and soon the other end picked up, transmitting a man's impatient voice: "Who are you, looking for whom?"

Zhang Yuntong straightened his back, lowered his voice, and said: "Hello, I'm looking for Director Ye!"

"Director Ye?" The other party was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Wait!"

"Aunt, your phone."

"Who?"

"Don't know!"

"Let him wait a bit."

Zhang Yuntong clearly heard the other side's shouting, waited three or four minutes, then heard Ye Zhen's voice through the receiver: "Who is it?"

"Director Ye!" Zhang Yunfei hurriedly said: "I am Zhang Yuntong from Yangcheng."

"Oh, Secretary Zhang!" Director Ye was quite curious how Zhang Yuntong would call her, given they had just spoken on the phone two hours ago: "What's the matter?"

"I want to see Zhou Andong." In Director Ye's presence, Zhang Yuntong dared not beat around the bush: "Just going to see him like this with my status would easily draw attention."

"Alright!" Director Ye agreed without pressing further, Zhang Yuntong being a smart man, requesting to see Zhou Andong at this time must mean something important: "Time and place, I'll inform Zhou Andong."

Zhang Yuntong pondered and said: "Eight o'clock tonight, in Room Five, Yuecha Lou."

"Then it's settled!" Director Ye hung up the phone.

"Phew!" Zhang Yunfei slowly put down the phone, then exhaled a long breath, and said to Zhang Yifei: "You go now to Yuecha Lou to book Room Five, then go home and prepare the share contract."

"I'm going back now." Zhang Yifei turned and walked away, his steps quickening, finally jogging down the stairs.

At the same time, a three-story shophouse on Yixiu Nanlu in Yuexiu District had a clothing store on the first floor, with considerable foot traffic, people coming and going nonstop. While the second and third floors were originally residential, they had been converted into a small club.

The second floor is the entertainment area, with a small screening room, a billiard table placed by the window, and also a mahjong table. The third floor is a bar; upon entering, one can see a Western-style bar counter, inside is a wall of wine cabinets, displaying various kinds of alcohol.

Moreover, a piano is placed in the center of the room, and at this moment a woman is elegantly playing it. Beside her stand five men, each holding a glass of red wine, their expressions intoxicated as they watch the woman play.

When the last note faded, the woman raised her hand, at which point a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite refined, slowly began to clap for the red wine in his hand. Immediately afterward, the other four also put down their glasses and started clapping.

"Enough!" The woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six, with shoulder-length hair, wearing a floor-length dress, whether her face or figure is absolutely top-notch, and her demeanor is very good: "Stop clapping, I know my own level, just muddling through with you amateurs."

The bespectacled guy is exactly Wu Hui, who, upon hearing the woman's words, gave a faint smile: "We are amateurs, so we think what you say sounds very pleasant."

"Exactly!" A little fatty picked up his wine cup, took a light sip: "I just think Rongjie's talk is very pleasant."

This little fatty is Shen Qi, son of Shen Huihuang, director of the Provincial Health Department; while the other three are Zhang Hai, son of Zhang Dingzhou, political commissar of the Municipal Public Security Bureau; Gao Jiang, son of Gao Zhengming, vice president of the Provincial High Court; and Bai Shanyu, son of Bai Wenming, director of the Municipal Health Bureau.

As for this woman, her name is Liu Anrong, daughter of the director of Leyiche Automobile Factory; Wu Hui has been pursuing her for over half a year. However, Liu Anrong has consistently refused.

"Forget it!" Liu Anrong showed a faint smile on her face: "I heard that the case of Shen Wenli encountered resistance; has anyone been found who is causing trouble for you?"

Zhang Hai's face looked somewhat gloomy as he said: "Under investigation!"

"Huh?" Liu Anrong looked surprised: "Such a small matter, and after so many days still no investigation results?"

Wu Hui gave a faint smile: "This person's position is not low, so investigation is somewhat difficult. However, we want Bai健 Pharmaceutical; since someone wants to protect Shen Wenli, we won't move him, but we also can't let him go. In time, the person behind him will naturally come to us."

Liu Anrong asked: "If this person shows up, what do you plan to do?"

Wu Hui said in a calm tone: "Simple, as long as Shen Wenli hands over his shares, I can give him face. But if Shen Wenli wants money and not life, then don't blame me for giving no one face."
