not a decent stand-in

Chapter 49

Xiang Yindong took the drunken Ying Zhen back to his apartment for a night.

The next day, when the man was still sleeping, he was called back to the mansion by the old man.

Qian Yueming was officially prosecuted by the prosecutor, and Jiang Yuanqing also resigned from the company's directorship.

During this time, although the old man didn't show up, he was very angry about this matter and made several calls to inquire about the progress.

Now that the incident has come to an end, he should give the old man an explanation.

In the study of the Xiang family's mansion, the old man sat on the sofa, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Where is that kid now?"

Xiang Yindong poured him a cup of tea and comforted him: "I heard that I went to the United States to avoid the limelight, but I don't know exactly where."

"How's the situation in the company?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. After all, Zhenghai is the victim of this matter. I will personally follow up with bureau A and try to get the project down..."

Xiang Zhenghai nodded, and asked again: "Chu Dongming, what's going on?"

Xiang Yindong laughed and said: "I guess I have to wrong Uncle Dong for the time being. This time, it is clear that someone took advantage of Uncle Dong to deliberately drive a wedge between him and the Xiang family!"

"Who do you suspect?"

"I'm not sure, that's why I thought of a way to get that person out..."

"Well... you have to handle this matter carefully, don't be self-defeating..."

The grandpa and grandson discussed in the study for a while, and Uncle Kun came to ask them to have lunch.

Xiang Yindong helped the old man out of the study, and suddenly heard him ask, "I heard that you asked Chenchen to withdraw from the lithium battery project, who will be responsible for that?"

"The board of directors elected Uncle Lin..." Before Xiang Yindong finished speaking, the old man frowned.

"Is there no other choice?"

"Recently, because of the matter of Chairman Jiang and Uncle Dong, the executives are very low-key and dare not take this job lightly..."

Xiang Zhenghai sighed almost inaudibly, and said: "Lin Jincheng is capable, but his surname is not Xiang after all, you should always keep one eye..."

Xiang Yindong's eyes flashed, then he nodded: "I see..."

The two went downstairs together, and Xiang Yindong met his aunt Xiang Huailin unexpectedly.

After asking, I found out that Xiang Huailin was not in a good mood some time ago, and Lin Jincheng has been busy all the time.

In order to let her relax, Lin Shanshan made a special trip to send her to the mansion to be with the old man.

Xiang Yindong walked up to her and said with concern: "Auntie, the weather is getting colder, remember to wear more clothes!"

Xiang Huailin nodded and patted his hand: "Xiaodong has a heart, I have nothing to do..."

Seeing her frowning, Xiang Yindong seemed to be hesitating to speak, so he knelt down and held her hand, and said with a light smile, "Uncle will be busy recently, and I don't have time to accompany you, you won't blame me, will you?"

"How come..." Xiang Huailin coughed slightly, and said softly, "It's better for him to be busy... Xiaodong, although your uncle doesn't talk much, he is still very good to me..."

Xiang Yindong nodded: "I know, your relationship has always been very good, I was very envious when I was young..."

Xiang Huailin's eyes flashed, as if she was caught in some kind of memory.

"What do you say to me?"

At this time, a deep voice came from behind the two of them, Xiang Yindong looked back and saw that it was Lin Jincheng walking towards them.

"Uncle Lin, are you here?"

Xiang Yindong stood up and said with a smile, "I just said that you can work too hard, and you don't have time to spend with aunt!"

Lin Jincheng smiled gently, looked at Xiang Huailin and said, "You've been out for a long time, I'll take you home..."

Xiang Huailin didn't speak, but held Xiang Yindong's hand slightly tighter.

Xiang Yindong curiously said: "Uncle Lin, you have just accepted a new project, how can you have time to accompany aunt, why not let her be a companion with the old man at home!"

Lin Jincheng still had a smile on his face, but his tone was very blunt: "No need, there is someone at home to take care of her, I'm afraid she won't be used to people here!"

"actually……"

Just as Xiang Yindong was about to speak again, Xiang Huailin tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Alright Xiaodong, let's go eat first, don't stand here and talk!"

Lin Jincheng walked over to push her wheelchair, put his hands on her shoulders naturally, and asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Xiang Huailin nodded and said softly: "I have eaten this morning..."

"Didn't you have to eat three meals? Your body is not as good as before..."

Lin Jincheng's tone was concerned, but also blamed, Xiang Huailin lowered her head upon hearing this.

Xiang Yindong vaguely felt an awkward atmosphere, so he volunteered: "Why don't I help Auntie get the medicine, you go to the dining room first!"

He hurried to the guest room where his aunt lived, and saw that the medicine bottles were indeed placed by the bedside, so he picked them up and took a look.

At this time, Lin Jincheng had followed him into the room.

"Let me do it, your aunt has too much medicine, I can figure it out better!"

Xiang Yindong handed him all the medicine bottles in his hand, and asked casually: "What kind of medicine are these, so much?"

"It's mainly heart drugs..."

Lin Jincheng also answered casually and didn't say much.

Xiang Huailin took several kinds of medicine after the meal, Xiang Yindong couldn't bear to look at it.

After they left in the afternoon, he returned to Xiang Huailin's room again.

Bending down, he took out a small medicine bottle from under the bed and put it in his pocket.

When he came out of the mansion, he called Zuo Tong, and when he learned that he was still in the mansion, he drove over to pick him up.

Zuo Tong was playing chess with his grandfather. Unexpectedly, Zuo Zhiguo came back from the outside in a hurry and called him into the study suddenly.

"What's the matter, uncle?"

Seeing Zuo Zhiguo's serious face, Zuo Tong knew that he had something to tell him.

Since his father's death, he has been living with Zuo Zhiguo, and he has treated Zuo Zhiguo as his father in his heart.

Zuo Zhiguo took out a stack of newspapers and a few pages of materials from his briefcase, put them on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Look at it first..."

Zuo Tong picked up the pages of information and looked at them. It was the information about Su Yuliang, the chairman of Shenghua International, dealing with various ministries and commissions of the imperial capital.

Newspapers widely reported the news of Shenghua International's entry into the mainland market.

Headquartered in Hong Kong, Shenghua International, as a well-known overseas real estate developer, seems to have begun to enter the mainland market.

"Su Yuliang wants to make a comeback?"

Zuo Tong put down the materials, his brows were already wrinkled.

It was not easy to say the word "Su Yuliang" from his mouth, because it was followed by hatred.

This partner, his father's most trusted partner, withdrew all the funds when the company was in the most difficult time.

As a result, his father had to go abroad to mediate with clients in person before he was robbed and died.

Therefore, the feeling of "family ruin and death" that Zuo Tong experienced was all thanks to this person!

It is undeniable that he has been working hard all this time, not only to rebuild the Zuo family's property, but also to hope that one day he can defeat Su Yuliang, which makes him often feel that sense of despair.

But now, everything seems to be coming sooner.

He is not strong enough. For multinational companies like Shenghua International, he is not yet capable of shaking their foundations.

"I know what you're thinking..." Zuo Zhiguo sighed and patted him on the shoulder, "The reason why I let you know this is to remind you that if you meet this person in the business circle of the imperial capital in the future , don't act rashly, with your strength, you can't do anything to him now!"

"I... I'm afraid I can't do it!" Zuo Tong fell down on the sofa, wiped his face vigorously, and tried to calm himself down.

At the beginning, when he insisted on going to Hong Kong to establish a branch, he actually intended to get in touch with powerful people there, in preparation for attacking Su Yuliang in the future.

Now that the enemy has appeared by his side, how can he bear this tone?

"I went to inquire about it. This time, there was a group of projects attracting investment from above. Su Yuliang took the opportunity to go north. He knew that I had connections in various departments, so he kept avoiding me carefully... If it weren't for this news report, I probably wouldn't have We know that he intends to return to the imperial capital to invest."

"We can't just do nothing, can we?"

"The only thing we can do now is to let him relax his vigilance first, thinking that we don't know about his return, and then we can think about it in the long run."

"Uncle, Su Yuliang knows that the development of Huidi Capital will be against us, why did he come back? Does he think that we are no match for him now?"

"I don't know about this either. All I know is that his only daughter, Su Yong, is unwilling to take over his business and wants to return to the imperial capital from the United States to develop... I don't know if he intends to escort his daughter when he goes north this time..."

"Su Yue?" Zuo Tong fell into memory, vaguely remembering that his father and Su Yuliang were brothers, and even jokingly said that he was going to be the son-in-law of the Su family.

"Xiao Tong, don't worry about things for a while. Since they have come to the imperial capital, we can always teach them some lessons. Always be careful and don't worry your mother and grandpa!"

"I know!"

When the two came out of the study, Zuo Tong immediately saw a familiar figure.

Xiang Yindong is sitting in the living room right now, playing chess with Mr. Zuo.

However, the atmosphere is not so good...

Xiang Yindong held a chess piece in his hand, and said with a smile: "This piece was obviously not here just now, old man, did you steal away?"

"Nonsense!" Grandpa Zuo blew his beard and stared, "It's obviously here, whose child is trying to play tricks because he can't beat me?"

"I'm cheating?" Xiang Yindong wanted to cry, but he clearly saw the old man stealing several moves, even the nanny who was standing beside him couldn't help laughing.

"No! It's you playing tricks!"

Zuo Tong walked over, glared at Xiang Yindong, and took the chess piece from his hand.

After returning to the position the old man wanted, he smiled and said: "It's because grandpa is so good at chess, this kid is the one who cheated. Don't argue with him! He just wants to win so much!"

"..."

Xiang Yindong was powerless to refute, seeing the old man immediately beaming with joy, he couldn't help flattering him, "Grandpa, I'm just joking with you! Look at your grandson, how much he loves you!"

"Of course! My little Tong is much better than you!"

Xiang Yindong agrees with this sentence, and nodded quickly: "Well... my Xiaotong is the best!"
