With a sinister smile on his face, Wang Bingwang poured the coffee in the cup on the table directly into the ashtray next to him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. If we don't settle this matter even half a step, we won't have the face to ask for your help. We will definitely give you an answer within a week." Seeing this, Wang Bingwang poured the coffee that had just been poured directly.
Suddenly, Zhou Cheng and the two men understood that the prince from the capital in front of them was ready to take serious action regarding the issue of the Qin family.
"I don't care how long it takes, what's important is that you really did it! As long as you let me know that the Qin family fell down years ago, it will be done."
"As long as you complete this matter, in Jiangsu, I guarantee that the Zhou family and the Li family can go sideways. Haven't you always wanted to make up for the fall of the Ximen family? This is your chance to show off."
"Young Master Wang, do you really mean what you said?"
Wang Bingwang's words caused Zhou Cheng's expression to change once again, but this time it was more of surprise.
Since the Ximen family, which had dominated Jiangsu for decades, suddenly collapsed in the past few months, there has been a vacuum of power in the entire Jiangsu region. In the past few months, although many families wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, they were often defeated by several other families.
Two families joined forces to suppress him. In this situation, although the Zhou family wanted to rise to power, they never had a good chance.
Originally, this time he approached Wang Bingwang just to get the other party to agree to expand his family's business in Yanjing and carry out some cooperation. Zhou Cheng never expected that such a large piece of cake would suddenly fall from the sky.
Let’s not talk about whether the Zhou family can replace the Ximen family and become the leader-level family in Jiangsu, but the words of the man in front of them are enough to make the Zhou family ecstatic.
Zhou Cheng understood very well that if what Wang Bingwang told him today was done well, it would mean that his Zhou family, which had been entrenched in Nanjing for decades and had no chance to develop its ambitions, would have a chance to move up the ladder. With the help of the man in front of him, Zhou Cheng
Even if you can't enter the inner circle of the capital, you can still squeeze into the iron-walled circle of the capital.
And this has been the dream of the entire Zhou family for decades!
Furthermore, even if he fails to squeeze into the capital circle this time, he will definitely make a profit this time. Even if he does not need the northern part of Jiangsu, the entire southern Jiangsu area is enough for Zhou Jiale.
You must know that the Zhou family in Nanjing was not a well-established family before this.
"Do you think I'm telling lies again? Do I need this?" Wang Bingwang raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, but when he glanced in the direction of the arch bridge in the distance, his face instantly darkened.
Not far from Starbucks, on an arch bridge over the Qinhuai River, Ye Huang was walking with Qin Guangye and his wife, holding Qin Yue's hand, from the other side, preparing to drink tea at a teahouse called Pinmingxuan.
Seeing the change in Wang Bingwang's expression, Zhou Cheng and other young people from the Li family followed his gaze at the same time.
"Qin Guangye?"
"Oh? That's Qin Guangye?"
Although he had already guessed Qin Guangye's identity from the identities of Ye Huang and Qin Yue next to him, Wang Bingwang still pretended to be curious.
"Yes! This old boy retired naked from office three years ago and has been living in a small villa assigned to him by the government. He didn't even ask for the life secretary assigned to him by the government, so he stayed completely naked!"
"Haha, that's quite a character. There are not many people in today's society who are indifferent to fame and wealth."
With a hint of gloom in his eyes, Wang Bingwang looked at Ye Huang and Qin Yue who were joking and said lightly.
If it weren't for Emperor Ye, he wouldn't have thought about touching that man. After all, Qin Guangye did a lot of things when he was the Minister of Education. He had many friends and disciples across the country, which would have caused some confusion.
Some trouble.
"I don't know if he's indifferent or not, but I know that this old boy has been having a hard time lately!" Zhou Cheng said with a gloomy look on Qin Guangye's face.
"how?"
"This old boy has never had a good relationship with the Qin family. His wife married into the Qin family more than 20 years ago before she was married. She has been criticized by other people in the Qin family over the years. Three years ago, this old boy
The Qin family did not get much benefit from the honorable and upright Jiliu. They have been squeezed out by the side clans in the past three years, especially recently. I don’t know where the news about Qin Yue’s mistress came out, and it spread throughout Nanjing.
It’s open.”
"Young Master Wang, even if I take action, the Qin family will probably have to struggle for a while. Fighting in a nest is very exciting."
"Oh? So it turns out that there is still such a thing. Then I can wait a little longer to explain the matter to you. It won't be too late to start after they finish fighting in the nest."
Since Wang Bingwang said this, Zhou Cheng would naturally not object. He nodded and looked at Qin Guangye with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Although adding insult to injury doesn't sound good, none of the families in Nanjing have ever done this kind of thing. As for the Qin family, they are almost done fighting in the nest. If this stone is thrown, Zhou Cheng himself will spend a lot less time and effort.
energy.
…
But it was said that after Qin Guangye won a few games of chess by the Qinhuai River, he was in a good mood and walked into the Pinming Pavilion to drink tea.
Ye Huang and Qin Yue had nothing to do. Seeing that Qin Guangye was happy, they followed him and sat down in the teahouse, licking melon seeds and looking through the window at the boat-like boats on the Qinhuai River.
"When I was very young, my father often took me to play around the Qinhuai River and the Confucius Temple. It can be said that my father watched the Qinhuai River and the Confucius Temple develop to this level. I used to often hear my father say what he hoped the Qinhuai River and the Confucius Temple would be like.
Well, it's a pity that officials change one after another, and the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River in Dad's mind are gradually moving away from him. If you hadn't come today, I guess he would never come to this area to see it, because Dad
The Shili Qinhuai in my heart has disappeared along with the memory."
Taking a sip of the Yuhua tea in front of her, Qin Yue explained to Ye Huang the change in her father's mood today in a light tone.
"Your father has a poetic side, but the Qinhuai and Confucius Temple in front of him are too realistic. It is normal to have a mental gap. However, it does surprise me that your father can not come here for so many years."
"Everyone has his own beautiful memories in his mind. The Qinhuai River and Confucius Temple in my father's mind are a few old photos of the Republic of China left by the older generation of our Qin family. Perhaps it is this preconceived notion that makes my father think about all future events.
You don’t even care about any kind of transformation.”
Glancing at her father, who was drinking tea and his expression returned to a bit gloomy again, Qin Yue sighed again in her heart.
"My father was not suitable for being an official, but he still did it. My mother said that my father was too kind-hearted and too idealistic. It was okay to do it for one term, but it was too difficult for him to do it for two terms. As expected, my father started working in the second term.
I lost my job in the first year.”
"Didn't you resign?" Hearing Qin Yue's words, Ye Huang was a little surprised. In his memory, it seemed that Qin Guangye resigned by himself, right?
"Hmph! Chinese officials are not used to this kind of tactics, are they?" Qin Yue said softly, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.
"That means your father was squeezed out?"
"More or less, I don't know the specifics. I just mentioned this matter when my mother called me when I was in the United States. A certain force in Yanjing wanted to support its own people to rise to power. My father, a somewhat dull man,
He became a victim. But my father was not very depressed. He was not very willing to stay in that position."
Speaking of this, Qin Yue showed a wry smile again. It was one thing that his father did not want to stay in that position, but resigning and being forced to step down were two different things.
Qin Yue knew her father very well. She had not had so many ambitions back then, and her father stepped down from his position. In fact, he didn't feel very good about it, but he was just too good at hiding it.
"Do you want me to look into this?"
After taking a sip of tea, Ye Huang already knew what was going on.
"Forget it. I know the ability of the Ye family will not be difficult to help my father to his position again. However, these few years have passed and my father has already become accustomed to his current life. He may not be able to become an official again."
I am willing, but besides, my father is too idealistic and may still encounter obstacles when entering. There are some things that do not belong to him and cannot be forced."
Shaking her head, Qin Yue glanced at her father and rejected Ye Huang's proposal.
Everyone has something to do at a certain stage in their life. Three years ago, my father had to be busy with the education plan of the entire country. Now he only needs to accompany his wife.
"Okay!" Ye Huang nodded, not forcing himself.
The old man is living a very comfortable life now, but it is really not a good thing that his key is unnecessary.
However, Emperor Ye had to ask about the forced retreat three years ago. In the past, Qin Guangye was not his father-in-law, so he didn't have to worry about it. But now that they have a relationship, he has to ask about this matter no matter what.
.
"When are you going to meet those white-eyed wolf relatives of yours? I heard that the whole city of Nanjing has been rumored about you being a mistress recently. Your relatives really don't give your father face."
"Hmph! They are all a bunch of cannibals. My dad indirectly helped them a lot in the past few years. But they have forgotten about it now. They wish they could make my dad angry to death and occupy the house together.
"Qin Yue's face turned gloomy when she thought of her relatives who looked the other way.
I still remember her second aunt's vicious tone at the family gathering three years ago. If she hadn't stood up and yelled a few words, she would have made her mother cry. And it was precisely because of that incident that she and I
My father didn't say a word for three whole years.
My father was stubborn and I was stubborn too, so the stalemate continued.
If the man in front of him hadn't appeared, maybe he and his father would have continued to have a cold war.
"Don't worry, I have a trick to deal with the white-eyed wolf. Chen Yan and his collateral relatives were also very powerful back then." With a slight smile, Ye Huang touched the beauty in front of him and comforted him.
