Chapter 671 Second round of assessment, business ability
After Zhu Chengji and Mu Ziping left, Bao Yanhe snorted heavily, "I was in a good mood today, but now it's all ruined. What a bad luck!"
Then, she restored her amiable smile and said to Chen Qi, "Xiao Qi, the scandal at home made you laugh."
Chen Qi nodded, "The old lady said something serious. I can understand this kind of thing."
Bao Yanhe sighed, "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. Where did we just talk? Come on, let's continue talking."
Chen Qi glanced at Zhu Chengji and Mu Ziping who were walking away, and responded with a smile, "Okay."
Outside the Zhu Family Courtyard, Zhu Chengji and Mu Ziping got into a Mercedes-Benz and drove away.
On the way back, Zhu Chengji became angrier as he thought about it, and finally started scolding him.
"That damn old woman, even though I am her son, she actually wants to hand over the Zhu family's property to an outsider. It's really unreasonable!"
While trimming her manicure, Mu Ziping said, "That daughter of yours came back at a really bad time. It's obvious that after all the hard work we've been doing these days, that old woman has a tendency to relent."
"Zhu Chengji, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you don't get the Zhu family's property, my father will have a hard time explaining it to you."
Zhu Chengji looked stern, "Ziping, don't be impatient, I will definitely find a way to get it!"
Mu Ziping looked at Zhu Chengji and said, "What can you do, but tell me?"
Zhu Chengji was speechless for a moment.
Mu Ziping shook her head, "Zhu Chengji, I chose to follow you on the spot because of your dedication to me. Otherwise, with my background as the eldest daughter of the Mu family, what kind of good man would I not be able to find?"
"However, since I followed you, I have always been looked down upon by others, saying that I am a slut for seducing a married man."
"And you have done nothing in our Mu family for so many years. If you still can't get up this time, I will have no choice but to leave you."
Zhu Chengji was shocked, "Ziping, I am sincere to you. I gave up everything for you. If you leave me, I will really be homeless!"
"So, you are only allowed to succeed this time, and you are not allowed to fail!"
Mu Ziping rolled her eyes and said, "I have a solution here that can help you solve the problem at hand."
Zhu Chengji's eyes lit up, "What can I do? Tell me quickly!"
"My third sister has a son, you should have seen him.
He had been frail and sick since he was a child, but my third aunt believed very much in ghosts, ghosts, and snake spirits. She asked a Taoist priest for a divination, saying that her son was suffering from evil spirits and needed to marry a wife to make him happy.
Recently, they are looking for suitable candidates everywhere, and they are required to be well-matched, and the key is to be beautiful!"
Zhu Chengji was confused, "What does this have to do with taking the Zhu family's property?"
Mu Ziping smiled brightly, "I just observed your daughter Zhuque, and I have to say that her beauty makes even me jealous.
And she is from your Zhu family. The Zhu family used to be considered a second-rate family, so doesn’t it just meet the third sister’s requirements?”
Zhu Chengji narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean..."
Mu Ziping nodded slightly, "Yes, if you can betroth your daughter to my third sister's son, we will become more intimate in the future. It's not like you don't know the power of third sister in our Mu family."
"When the time comes, she will put in a nice word for you at my father's house, and it will be hard for you to even think about it."
"What's more, doesn't the old woman want to hand over the Zhu family's property to Zhuque?
As long as you marry Suzaku to the Mu family, you will also bring the Zhu family's property with you."
"In this case, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Zhu Chengji immediately slapped his thigh and praised him one after another, "Ziping, you are indeed smarter than me. You can think of such clever tricks."
Mu Ziping chuckled for a moment, "The current situation is that your daughter Zhuque doesn't seem to listen to you."
"She dares!"
Zhu Chengji's eyes widened angrily, "No matter what, she is my daughter, Zhu Chengji!"
"My parents' orders, my matchmaker's words! If she dares to disobey me, I will beat her to make her obedient!"
"What if the old woman doesn't allow it?"
Mu Ziping asked again.
Zhu Chengji snorted coldly, "I am Zhuque's biological father. I can marry whoever I want her to marry. No one has the right to interfere, not even her grandmother!"
…
On Chen Qi's side, he and Zhuque accompanied his grandmother Bao Yanhe, chatted for a while, and then left.
Bao Yanhe originally wanted to keep the two of them for a few more days, but Suzaku claimed that they were going to stay in Shangjing for a while and could come over for a visit.
Bao Yanhe then reluctantly let the two of them leave.
After what happened in the past two days, the relationship between Chen Qi and Zhuque gradually became more subtle.
At first, the relationship between the two was that of a boss and a subordinate, but because they wanted to satisfy their grandmother Bao Yanhe’s wishes, they pretended to be a ‘couple’.
In addition, there was such a shameful misunderstanding last night, and sometimes Suzaku felt that he couldn't look Chen Qi in the eye.
On the way back, in order to ease the awkwardness of the atmosphere, Suzaku took the initiative to speak.
"By the way, Lord Dragon, didn't you say a few days ago that you have college classmates in [Shangjing]?
I checked for you and found that many of your former classmates lived in [Shangjing]."
"Is it?"
Chen Qi replied in surprise.
Speaking of Chen Qi's college classmates, we have to think of the roommates with whom Chen Qi has the strongest relationship.
Back then, they skipped classes together, went to Internet cafes together, watched pornographic movies together, went to karaoke bars together, and watched beautiful women together.
Although these beautiful memories will gradually fade as their respective ages grow.
But as soon as it is mentioned, the corners of people's mouths will turn up inadvertently.
Isn’t that what a song goes like?
The heavy rain I missed in those years
The love I missed in those years
I really want to tell you
Tell you I haven't forgotten
That night the sky was full of stars
Agreement in parallel time and space
meet again
I will hold you tightly
…
This song is not only about love, but also about every bit of campus life.
Nearly eight years have passed since Chen Qi left campus.
I haven't seen him in eight years, and I don't know how his close buddies are doing?
When Chen Qi and Zhuque returned home, they saw the Thirteenth Taifu Chen Shipeng waiting in the living room early.
Seeing Chen Qi coming back, he immediately stood up to greet him, "Chen Qi, you are back. Where did you go yesterday? I didn't find you anywhere?"
"I went out to do some personal things. Is there anything you want?"
Chen Shipeng nodded, "The higher authorities have issued a new round of assessment content."
Chen Qi raised his eyebrows, "Oh?
Tell me."
Chen Shipeng explained that the assessment content of the new round of throne selection is to examine the business capabilities of each candidate for the throne.
The so-called business is naturally about making money and profit.
Since you want to be the head of the [Chen Royal Family], you need to have a good business mind.
After all, the rise and sustainability of a family are inseparable from money.
If you only achieve success in martial arts and are a fool in business, your family fortune will be ruined sooner or later.
The assessment rules are also very simple. Thirteen candidates for the throne are given each a company and allowed to develop on their own.
Everyone can use their own connections, but members of the Chen family are prohibited from interfering. After one month, the profit results will be checked.
