Chapter 337 Zhao Family's Internal and External Troubles
The funeral of Lafayette was held in an extremely low-key manner. These were the words left by Lafayette during her lifetime. She said that she had lived a glorious life, and since she was gone, she would return to dust and return to dust without a trace of fireworks. She came clean and left cleanly.
Lafayette spent her whole life killing people in the merchant sea. She began to read Buddhist scriptures when she was approaching her old age, so her thoughts were more open-minded than many people.
"Grandma passed away peacefully..." Zhao Qingya said softly after seeing Fang Zhicheng. She was wearing a small black suit with "filial piety" on her arm. Her delicate face was slightly pale, and her eyes did not hide the haggard look.
.
"Everyone will reach this point. Lafayette's life is a legend, with setbacks, achievements, sadness, and happiness. If a person can gather these many experiences in just a few decades, he will be complete.
That's why she is so peaceful." Fang Zhicheng comforted softly.
Zhao Qingya nodded, walked in front, and led Fang Zhicheng to the mourning hall. Fang Zhicheng observed the changes in the Zhao family. It was deserted than expected. He did not see a steady stream of people coming to express condolences, and a few scattered people interacted with each other.
They communicated and deliberately lowered their voices. Everyone tacitly wanted to give the old man an environment to leave peacefully.
Fang Zhicheng put on the black mourning under the arrangement. He knelt on the futon and looked at the old man in the photo. He suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness. Although he had only met Lafayette twice, he found that this was a wise man.
The old man is full of love and care for his family and the younger generation.
Everyone expresses love in different ways. Lafayette has experienced too much, so her way is very hidden, making it difficult for people to guess.
Fang Zhicheng has lived in a single-parent family since he was a child. He is particularly sensitive to emotions, so he can clearly feel the good intentions of Lafayette. Whether it is for Hongda Group or the Zhao family, Lafayette has good intentions, and every time she leaves
Every step is filled with good intentions, but they are too profound to be seen clearly.
For example, Lafayette's serious illness more than a year ago was not a ploy to transfer power, so that Hongda Group could be transferred smoothly to Zhao Qingya's hands.
Zhao Guoyi is constantly busy. He is the executive deputy governor of Huainan Province, but in this family, he is the eldest grandson and needs to do many things by himself.
Fang Zhicheng discovered a detail. There were no officials at the funeral, but mostly old relatives. Apparently, this was what Lafayette had requested before his death.
The Zhao family has strong financial resources and power. It is the largest family in Huainan, and Lafayette is the actual helmsman of the family. She has a very long-term view. The funeral should not be too high-profile, because it is likely to have a negative impact.
For a family that has reached this level, their behavior becomes more and more steady.
In the center of the mourning hall was a photo of Lafayette, and a coffin was placed in the center, with her body lying inside. Unknowingly, Fang Zhicheng's eyes were moist, and a tissue was handed to him. He turned around and took a look, but it was Zhao Qingya who presented it.
Come. Fang Zhicheng wiped the corners of his eyes and sighed: "Sorry, I was infected by the environment and lost my temper!"
Zhao Qingya's nose was sore and her eyes were red. She said softly: "Grandma is an amazing woman. She supports the whole family and bears a lot of pressure. Even our descendants don't understand her. Now I regret that I still talked to her."
It’s awkward.”
After Lafayette passed away, many secrets were revealed. Many of the stories turned out to be different from what everyone imagined. Lafayette left a reputation for being mean and vicious, but she also did a lot of good deeds. For example, she made donations in a private name.
She has donated a large amount of money to a large number of Hope Primary Schools, and during several national disasters, she also donated a large amount of money in a low-key manner.
Lafayette, good is greater than evil, and the reputation of cruelty is only forced by the situation. If a widow wants to gain a foothold among the heroes, how can she not act decisively and ruthlessly?
"He is really a hypocritical guy who can perform well." Zhao Min, the filial daughter sitting next to her, said with a hint of disdain in her eyes. Zhao Min didn't know why, but she became very angry when she saw Fang Zhicheng. Maybe
It was because her mother had such high regard for this young man that she even held Zhao Qingya's hand tightly before she died, hoping that she could have a good relationship with Fang Zhicheng.
Her son Huang Haoran heard what Zhao Min said and reminded him in a low voice: "Mom, today is grandma's funeral. Let's not make trouble, otherwise we will be looked down upon by our relatives. Moreover, my eldest cousin is also here, and he will definitely stand on the other side."
there."
Zhao Min swallowed his anger and said: "Am I still afraid of Zhao Guoyi? Although he is the governor, I am his aunt. Now that your grandmother has passed away, I am the oldest among the direct descendants of the Zhao family. Zhao Guoyi decided to join the army more than ten years ago
Officialdom, from that time on, the assets of the Zhao family have nothing to do with him. I have worked hard for the Zhao family for so many years, but in the end, all the family property was handed over to Zhao Qingya. I can’t swallow this breath."
When Huang Haoran heard this, he was moved and said softly: "Mom, I have an idea. Many people in Hongda Group are dissatisfied with my cousin. What do you think if we gather these people and remove my cousin?"
Zhao Min took a deep look and suddenly realized that his son was not as innocent as he thought, and said softly: "Haoran, did someone tell you to tell me this?"
Huang Haoran was slightly confused and quickly covered it up: "Mom, I was just talking casually, who wants to tell me this?"
Zhao Min said seriously to Huang Haoran: "The matter between me and your cousin is a conflict within the direct line of our Zhao family. You must not listen to other people's slander and be used by those with evil intentions. Hongda Group must have something
Part of the property belongs to you, and I will fight for you, so don't worry too much."
Huang Haoran nodded quickly and said softly: "Mom, I understand." At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket vibrated, and he left Zhao Min to answer the call.
Zhao Min stared at Huang Haoran's back, and suddenly had an illusion and realized that he did not understand his son.
Huang Haoran received the call, with an impatient look on his face, and complained: "Mr. Qin, didn't I tell you? My grandma just passed away these days, and my family is very busy. Please don't contact me for the time being."
Qin Chen smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Huang, although you told me, I am still a little worried. When will the funds you transferred out be returned? The group is auditing the company's accounts. If you don't get it back, I'm afraid it will
The secret has to be revealed.”
"Don't threaten me!" Huang Haoran shouted angrily in a cold voice, "I said I would definitely return it. Do you not trust me?"
Qin Chen secretly thought that Huang Haoran had a really bad temper, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Huang, I know that you are Mr. Zhao's cousin and a direct descendant of the Zhao family, but our Hongda Group is a listed company and our assets are open to the public.
.When you misappropriated funds, I reminded you that you said you were only borrowing it for a week. Now two months have passed and there is still no news, so I remind you again. The consequences of this matter are not small, if it is exposed.
, even if you are Mr. Zhao’s cousin, I’m afraid you will have to spend a few years in jail.”
Huang Haoran was silent for a moment, his tone softened, and he whispered: "Brother Qin, please tolerate me for a few more days, and I will definitely solve this matter."
Qin Chen sighed and said: "That's alright. Then I'll try again. However, my ability is limited, and I may not be able to resist one day."
Huang Haoran thought for a while and said seductively: "Brother Qin, I will definitely remember your help this time. Now that my grandma is gone, except for my cousin, my mother holds the most shares. Who knows where this Hongda Group is?"
You will change your surname from Zhao to Huang in one day, and I will definitely compensate you accordingly."
Qin Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for your good news."
After hanging up Huang Haoran's call, Qin Chen reported to a middle-aged woman sitting on the sofa: "Mr. Liu, things are developing according to your plan. Huang Haoran has been trapped and kept in the dark.
As long as we wait for the right time to expose this matter, the direct descendants of the Zhao family will be in a passive position."
Liu Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Qin Chen, I arranged you to join the subsidiary of Hongda Group just for today. Once there is a scandal in the direct line of the Zhao family, the Zhao family's side branches will inevitably make a comeback. Without Lafayette in charge, Hongda
The group is bound to be in chaos. At that time, we can fish in troubled waters."
Qin Chen looked worried and pondered: "There's just one thing that I'm not worried about. If there is a big shock in Hongda Group and the stock price drops, a large amount of funds will be needed to acquire Hongda..."
Liu Yan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about this. If you want to deal with the Hongda Group, I won't be able to do it alone. I have already contacted the Dong family and the Zhu family. These two families also attacked the Zhao family.
They suffered a huge loss, and now is a good time for revenge. I think they will definitely have revenge and complaints."
Qin Chen sighed softly and smiled: "Since Mr. Liu said this, I feel relieved. However, after this incident, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in Huainan."
Liu Yan waved his hand and promised: "I have promised you, please rest assured. When you complete the task, I will arrange for you and your family to go abroad. As for the funds that Huang Haoran embezzled, they have been transferred to your overseas account."
, enough to ensure you have peace of mind when investing in your business.”
Qin Chen smiled happily and said, "I believe in Mr. Liu's character."
The death of Lafayette provided a once-in-a-lifetime vulnerability for the Zhao family's opponents. The conspiracy against Hongda Group had been planned several years ago. Only after Lafayette passed away, the opponents quickly started to operate the matter. Lafayette was as cunning as
The thousand-year-old fox has kept those opponents silent, but the new helmsman Zhao Qingya is obviously not enough to make them afraid.
Qin Chen is a chess piece planted in Hongda Group. In addition, there are many chess pieces lurking in the dark. Commercial spies are everywhere. They are in Hongda, but they are actually serving other forces. Usually, they are serving other forces.
Convey some confidential information about Hongda Group, and when the critical moment comes, he will not hesitate to switch sides.
Huang Haoran returned to the mourning hall with a heavy heart. When he saw Zhao Qingya turning her eyes towards him, he suddenly felt a little guilty and quickly buried his head.
