Chapter 1511: The Little Fox Outsmarts the Old Fox 1

People whose emotions fluctuate too quickly are rarely rational, and rationality is an important factor in being able to accomplish great things.

Sheng Hanyu even used Huo Zhenteng as an example.

He said that the reason he could remain sanctimonious for so many years, constantly doing evil things without ever crashing, was inseparable from his style of conduct.

When ordinary people see items of immense value in a house, they cannot control themselves; as long as they take one or two pieces, it is enough for the police to open a case and make it a key investigation!

But Huo Zhentang did not.

His target was the recipe, so he did not touch a single one of the more valuable items.

His goal was clear, and his actions were fast, accurate, and steady!

It would be wrong to say he was not after money; one can only say this person is meticulous. He knows what he can touch and what he must not touch at all. With great courage and a careful mind, he is a very difficult opponent to deal with.

Sheng Hanyu did not tell his son the specific method, but only analyzed Huo Zhenteng's personality traits for him, then asked: "Do you know what to do now?"

"I have a rough idea."

"Oh? What are your thoughts? Tell me."

Zichen said: "I plan to break through from Ergouzi, using his own strength against him, rather than directly clashing with Huo Zhenteng head-on."

Sheng Hanyu was very satisfied. He nodded: "That works. You handle it; if you need anything, come to me."

"Okay, Dad."

Anyway, it is summer vacation now, and since his son is idle, he might as well use this as training.

Sheng Hanyu praised his son to his wife: "Zichen is not bad. I misjudged him before. If we cultivate him well, he will be the Heir of Dingsheng in the future."

His wife reminded him: "Don't mess around. Don't forget that Zichen doesn't like doing business."

He said with great confidence: "That was because he was young before. Just because he didn't like it then doesn't mean he won't like it in the future."

"Being a chef and doing business don't conflict; he can do both."

Time can change many things and many ideas, for instance, Sheng Hanyu.

He used to think that a boy liking culinary arts was not a proper profession and had no future, but now his thinking has changed.

He can refrain from interfering with Zichen's love for culinary arts, but he must also consider having him inherit the family business!

His wife still could not understand her husband's thinking. She asked: "Didn't you want to hand Dingsheng over to Zirui? Will suddenly changing the Heir have an impact on Zirui?"

"Are you acting like a feudal patriarch, preparing to be a dictator?"

Sheng Hanyu sighed: "I'm afraid Zirui doesn't want to go into business either."

Shi Youxuan:...

"What's going on?"

The place Zirui has liked going most since he was small is the Study. He grew up in the Study, which is equivalent to growing up by Sheng Hanyu's side.

When Sheng Hanyu is at home, the place he stays the longest is also the Study; no one understands Zirui better than he does.

He did indeed have that idea at first, wanting Zirui to inherit Dingsheng Group and become the future Chairman of Dingsheng.

But later he discovered that Zirui seemed more interested in politics; he likes reading books about history and power struggles.

When he was little, he was interested in the group's affairs, but as he gradually grew up, his interest waned. If he is to walk the path of politics in the future, he cannot inherit Dingsheng!

After hearing her husband's explanation, Shi Youxuan became anxious: "No, I have to talk to Zirui. I can't let him touch politics; that stuff is not something to play with."

She was a woman of her word and immediately prepared to go.

Her husband grabbed her: "Don't be anxious. It's so late, the child is already asleep. Let's talk about it later."

"I am anxious! I have to tell him not to touch that stuff." Shi Youxuan was extremely anxious.

With Qi Heng as a cautionary tale, she had no fondness for politics at all.

"This is Jiangzhou, not L Country."

Sheng Hanyu used only one sentence to make his wife calm down.

Detention Center.

Visitation day.

The prisoners in the same cell all had family visiting, except for Ergouzi, who sat on his bunk alone, his expression somewhat desolate.

He knew no one would come to see him. His parents were gone, and his siblings would rather sever ties with him than anything else.

When he had money, he had plenty of fair-weather friends around him, eating and drinking merrily.

But after entering Prison, he didn't have a single friend left.

Although Ergouzi had earned a sum of money and would still be living the high life after getting out, he was indeed quite pitiful during this period, with no one paying him any mind or caring for him, as if he had been forgotten by this world.

He was wallowing in self-pity when suddenly the prison guard shouted for him from outside: "1103, come out, someone is here to see you."

"Coming, coming!"

Ergouzi was surprised and unexpected.

What surprised him was that someone had finally come to see him. The food in the detention center was terrible; he was used to a life of luxury on the outside, and he had had enough of this bland, watery life after a few months.

What was unexpected was that no one had come to see him for months, so who could this person be?

He thought it was Huo Zhenteng, but the person who came was Sheng Zichen.

"Are you... Gu Zhihao's little apprentice?" He remembered.

Zichen was usually very low-key, but this time he was not.

He admitted: "Yes, I am Gu Zhihao's apprentice, but I am also the eldest son of Dingsheng Group."

Ergouzi's eyes widened: "You're bluffing, right?" Who doesn't know Dingsheng Group?

The eldest son of Dingsheng Group, and he could be an apprentice to that fool Gu Zhihao?

Was his head squeezed by a door?

"You don't believe me?"

"I don't believe you. I believe you want to fish for information from me, but please don't insult my intelligence."

"Oh, then take a look at this, and you'll know I'm not lying." Zichen had come prepared; he held up his phone and showed him a photo of himself and his family.

Ergouzi recognized Sheng Hanyu in the photo; he had seen him many times in magazines and on television.

"My god, you really are!" Ergouzi hadn't noticed before when there was no comparison, but now that he compared them, he immediately realized that Gu Zhihao's little apprentice looked so much like Chairman Sheng.

Ergouzi asked, "So, does that mean Sheng Hanyu is a relative of your father?"

The villagers all knew, but since Ergouzi wasn't usually in the village, he didn't know.

During that time when the Village Chief was being elected, Sheng Hanyu had also been very low-key, just blending in with the villagers as a bystander; he hadn't known that the famous Chairman of Dingsheng Group was in the crowd.

Ergouzi's guts were turning green with regret now; no wonder his plan had been so meticulous, yet he had been sent in here in a muddle—it turned out his opponent was Sheng Hanyu, so that wasn't strange at all.

"Yes, they are brothers-in-law, and Shi Yuke is my aunt."

Upon learning their clear relationship, Ergouzi regretted it even more, regretting that he hadn't asked clearly sooner.

Seeing that the first step had gone very smoothly and that he had intimidated Ergouzi, Zichen steered the conversation back: "I deposited five thousand yuan into your card. I heard the food in the detention center is very bland; if you want to eat meat, you can go buy some."

"Why are you doing this?"

Ergouzi was vigilant on the surface, but he was actually deeply moved inside.

Although there wasn't anything delicious in the Prison, nothing more than canned goods, braised eggs, and ham sausages—things he wouldn't even glance at normally—they were rare delicacies now.
