"Does this matter have anything to do with Chu Huan?"
What Zhang Yuliang is most worried about is that Chu Huan is involved in this matter. After all, Chu Huan used this matter to threaten him in the first place.
"Our people have not found any connection between Chu Huan and Cui Xiuying for the time being. Even during this period of time, Chu Huan has not met Luo Decheng."
Peng Guoliang preached.
Luo Decheng is Cui Xiuying's son-in-law and the bridge between Chu Huan and Cui Xiuying.
Zhang Yuliang was relieved to hear that Chu Huan was not involved.
After all, Chu Huan put too much pressure on him.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
Peng Guoliang didn't speak when he saw Zhang Yuliang, he could only ask aloud.
Zhang Yuliang thought for a moment and said, "Let's continue following you until I get home tonight to find out more about the situation!"
Peng Guoliang nodded and said, "Yes!"
That evening, Zhang Yuliang took a car back to the Zhang family's ancestral home at No. 8 McDonald's Road.
No matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, Zhang Yuliang came to the Buddhist hall on the second floor immediately after returning to Zhang's house.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Guo Geng, who was closing his eyes slightly and waving the beads in his hand, opened his eyes. After seeing Zhang Yuliang, a smile appeared on his face.
"A Liang is back, how is the company today?"
Zhang Yuliang knelt down next to Guo Geng and said with a smile, "Everything is fine. If the current market situation is better, the company may be able to turn losses into profits in a few years!"
After saying this, Zhang Yuliang stared at Guo Geng closely, trying to see something in his eyes.
Guo Geng smiled as always, "If this is the case, then we really have to thank Bodhisattva. If it weren't for Bodhisattva's help, the company's business would not be getting better day by day!"
Zhang Yuliang didn't know for a while whether Guo Geng knew about this matter, but the other party's behavior was the same as before, which showed that the possibility of knowing was unlikely.
But we can't just make a judgment like this. It's better to be more careful about this kind of thing.
Therefore, Zhang Yuliang continued as always, with his forehead slightly tilted and he said, "We should thank the Bodhisattva properly."
After the two briefly chatted for a few words, Guo Geng walked out of the Buddhist hall with the support of Zhang Yuliang. At this time, everyone in the Zhang family was already waiting for them in the restaurant on the first floor.
The two mother and son went downstairs, and everyone at the dining table got up one after another.
"Mother!"
"Fourth uncle (father) (fourth brother)."
The two of them sat down with their foreheads slightly bowed.
Zhang Yuliang raised his head and glanced at Cui Xiuying, and found that Cui Xiuying did not behave differently from before.
After thinking about it for a while, he asked with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, how are you doing at the company recently? I've been a little busy during this time and forgot to ask you about it!"
Cui Xiuying said with a smile on her face, "It's pretty good, no different from before!"
Zhang Yuliang thought for a while and said to Guo Geng, "Mother, today the company sent a document saying that there are some problems with the company's business in Malaysia. As you know, the people in charge of the business there are not members of our Zhang family. I
I suspected that the other party might be lining their own pockets, so I thought about letting someone from our family take charge of the business there. After all, compared to outsiders, our own talents are more trustworthy!"
Guo Geng had not yet expressed his opinion on this. Zhang Yuliang's third brother Zhang Yulin immediately said, "I'm not going. Xiangjiang is very good here. What am I going to do?"
Love reading books
Zhang Yuliang frowned slightly. Zhang Yulin had told him before that he didn't like the current life of the Zhang family. If it weren't for the family rules, he would have wanted to move out.
Now he wants to let the Zhang family go to Malaysia. Although the business there is not big, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If they go there, they will not be controlled by the old lady. This should be Zhang Yulin's thought.
Want a life?
At the same time, I haven't told Zhang Yulin to go. My real target is my second sister-in-law Cui Xiuying, but now Zhang Yulin jumps out first?
This is actually caused by preconceived notions.
Zhang Yulin, the second eldest son of the Zhang family, is not a person who likes doing business. He usually prefers to have a few friendly words with his fellow actors.
Although going to Malaysia can avoid the control of old ladies, there are no theater friends of mine and there are no Cantonese operas that I like, so why go there?
Going fishing?
This was the reason why Zhang Yulin refused in the first place, but at this time, Zhang Yuliang had some demonic obstacles, so naturally he would not think about it.
"No one expects you to do anything!"
Guo Geng knew the virtues of his second son, so after hearing Zhang Yulin's remarks, he directly reprimanded him.
If anyone just regards Guo Geng as an old lady who only knows how to eat fast and chant Buddha's name, then he will definitely be punished by Mrs. Guo.
How could an old lady who only knew how to eat fast and chant Buddha’s words suppress Zhang Yuliang!
When Guo Geng saw that Zhang Yulin had stopped talking, he said to Zhang Yuliang, "A-Liang, who are you going to let go? There are only two people of your generation in the family, you and your third brother. Your third brother is obviously an inappropriate person."
The person who caused the incident, do you want Wei Lin to go there?"
Zhang Weilin is the eldest son and grandson of the third generation of the Zhang family. He was originally responsible for the Zhang family's overseas business.
Humph, you don’t want him to go, right?
At this time, Zhang Yuliang already thought that everyone was betraying him. The third child, Zhang Yulin, had no ability at all, and he couldn't help much with the company's business. In the end, he got the same amount as himself.
Outsiders say that Guo Geng likes the fourth child of the Zhang family the most, but in fact Zhang Yuliang himself knows that Mrs. Guo likes Zhang Yulin more.
The reason is simply that Zhang Yulin is her biological child.
This involves the secrets of the Zhang family. Although Zhang Zhushan only has Guo Geng as his wife in name, she has four sons.
But in fact, Zhang Yuliang is not Guo Geng’s biological son, but was raised by Guo Geng. As for Zhang Yuliang’s biological mother, no one knows who she is, but Zhang Yuliang will always have a strong hatred in his heart!
As for Zhang Yuliang's identity, in the entire Zhang family, only Mrs. Guo and Zhang Yulin knew it, and no one else knew about it.
"Wei Lin is in Europe now, and the situation in Europe will be inseparable from him for a while!" Zhang Yuliang said softly.
Guo Geng showed a troubled expression, "Your third brother is in trouble, Wei Lin is in Europe, and the rest of the family are still young. Who are you going to let go?"
Zhang Yuliang looked at Cui Xiuying on the side and said, "I think the second sister-in-law is quite suitable. After all, the second sister-in-law has been in the company for so many years and knows the company's affairs very well. If the second sister-in-law goes, I believe she can get the job quickly."
Take care of the business over there!"
"no!"
"no!"
As soon as Zhang Yuliang finished speaking, two voices of opposition rang out, and it was Guo Geng and Cui Xiuying who spoke out.
Alarm bells rang directly in Zhang Yuliang's mind. This was naturally his test of Cui Xiuying.
In the entire Zhang family, Cui Xiuying is the one who has the least presence and is the least liked by the old lady.
She is not like Zhang Yujie's wife, who is the eldest wife, and there is Zhang Weilin, the eldest son and grandson of the Zhang family, and she is not like the third child. After all, Zhang Yulin is still alive.
Zhang Yuliang recommends himself to others. If he were in Cui Xiuying's perspective, he would definitely hope to leave the Zhang family as soon as possible.
But now Cui Xiuying rejected her suggestion without hesitation.
More importantly, Guo Geng actually rejected his own suggestion, which was a bit unreasonable. Zhang Yuliang had served Guo Geng for so many years, so he naturally understood who Guo Geng was.
Such people always take the company's situation too seriously. Even though the other party chose to reject his suggestion at the first opportunity, which seemed to be beneficial to the company.
Moreover, he adopted a refusal attitude that did not tolerate any discussion, which made Zhang Yuliang even more determined in his thoughts.
They really knew something.
What he is doing now is to keep Cui Xiuying here and continue his investigation.
"Okay, you'd better find someone else!" Guo Geng quickly put down his bowl and said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm full, let's go back to the Buddhist hall first!"
After saying that, Guo Geng stood up and prepared to go to the Buddhist hall. Zhang Yuliang saw this and wanted to help him, but Guo Geng threw away his sleeves, leaving Zhang Yuliang who was a little gloomy.
Zhang Yulin saw this and quickly stood up, "Mom, let me help you!"
Guo Geng did not refuse this time, but nodded slightly, and the mother and son went upstairs together.
Zhang Yuliang's expression became even more gloomy when he saw this, and without saying a word, he went upstairs and returned to his room.
Second floor, Buddhist hall!
"Mom, please don't be angry. A-Liang is also young. I didn't expect your worries, so I suggested that my siblings go to Malaysia!"
Zhang Yulin was persuading Guo Geng at this time.
Guo Geng snorted coldly and said, "You are so old and you are so young. You can't even understand this. I don't know why your father and your eldest brother valued him so much back then!"
Zhang Yulin was the one person in the Zhang family who would not tremble when facing Guo Geng. He smiled and said, "Didn't the eldest brother have no choice at that time?"
Guo Geng looked at Zhang Yulin angrily and said, "It's not that you are not living up to your expectations. If you were more up to date, wouldn't I be able to smile at him for so many years?"
Zhang Yulin didn't care about Guo Geng's reprimand and said with a smile, "Isn't it good now? Let him go and do the company's work. I don't understand the situation in the company anyway, but no matter what, as long as
As long as you are here, there will be no trouble!"
Hearing Zhang Yulin's angry words, Guo Geng could only look helpless.
"Forget it, we can't count on you for the company's affairs. Let's train Wei Lin well. But until Wei Lin grows up, the family's business still depends on that person. Go tell him what I mean.
Don't let him think too much."
Guo Geng waved his hands helplessly.
Zhang Yulin did not leave immediately. He just smiled and said, "Mom, I didn't eat enough just now!"
Guo Geng helplessly took out a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper from the drawer and handed it to Zhang Yulin, saying, "How old are you, but you are still so greedy!"
Zhang Yulin took the roast chicken from Guo Geng's hand, leaned on Guo Geng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'm all your son!"
Guo Geng did not answer Zhang Yulin's words, he just moved the Buddhist beads in his hand, faced the Guanyin statue on the stage, and silently recited sin, sin!
The Zhang family, with a net worth of several billion, now eats roast chicken secretly. This is something that other families would not dare to imagine, but in the Zhang family, it is a real thing.
After Zhang Yulin only ate one chicken drumstick and one chicken wing, he rewrapped the roasted chicken, took it out of the Buddhist hall, and first went to his room and handed the roasted chicken to his wife, Tan Ailian.
Let’s talk about gossip. The Tan Ailian family is also a first-rate wealthy family in Hong Kong, but the family is very low-key. As early as 1968, Tan Ailian had already become an unofficial and peaceful lady in Hong Kong. In addition, Tan Ailian was also Zhang Guoyi’s girlfriend.
mom!
It is precisely because of Tan Ailian's status that after Guo Geng and Zhang Yulin passed away one after another, Tan Ailian still received generous family separation fees secretly given by Zhang Yuliang.
Of course, Tan Ailian is now married to the Zhang family. When she is inside the Zhang family, she must abide by the Zhang family's rules, but when she is outside, Tan Ailian's life is different.
Her family background and Zhang Yuliang's generous compensation were enough for Tan Ailian to live a comfortable life in the future and live a more unrestrained life than she does now.
"I'll go check on the fourth child first. You eat slowly!"
Zhang Yulin preached to Tan Ailian.
Tan Ailian nodded and said, "That means Malaysia is not as good as Xiangjiang. Otherwise, I really want you to go to Malaysia. When you get there, we don't have to worry about the old lady's rules. But fortunately, the old lady
body of"
"Stop talking!" Zhang Yulin said coldly.
Tan Ailian glanced at Zhang Yulin indifferently and tore off a chicken leg.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Zhang Yulin was about to leave, Tan Ailian said, "The night after tomorrow is a banquet for the Tan clan association. Don't forget to tell the old lady."
"Got it!" Zhang Yulin said, walked out of his room, and knocked on Zhang Yuliang's study.
This study room once belonged to his father and his eldest brother. To a certain extent, this study room actually represented the identity of the Zhang family, but Zhang Yulin had never been interested in this.
"Third brother!"
After seeing Zhang Yulin, Zhang Yuliang stood up.
Zhang Yulin smiled and sat across from Zhang Yuliang and said, "Are you still angry about what your mother just did?"
"I'm not angry!" Zhang Yuliang shook his head and said, "I just don't understand why my mother's attitude is so determined. I have no selfish motives in this matter!"
When he said the last words, Zhang Yuliang was still subconsciously defending himself.
Zhang Yulin didn't pay attention to this and said with a smile, "Mother naturally knows this!"
"Third brother, I think you should come to the company. I will give you the position of chairman. You know that I don't want to do business. If possible, I would rather study painting in Europe!"
After Zhang Yuliang finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yulin seriously.
"Why are you still the same as when you were a kid, always giving up your job? I'm in charge of the company. Do you think I'm the one?" Zhang Yulin said with a careless smile.
Zhang Yuliang didn't speak. He was expressing his dissatisfaction with actions. Of course, he also meant to continue testing Zhang Yulin.
"Actually, there is a reason why my mother did not let my second sister-in-law go to Malaysia!" Zhang Yulin did not forget his purpose of coming to Zhang Yuliang this time, and explained his mother's thoughts to Zhang Yuliang.
"Although my second brother has been dead for so long, my second sister-in-law has always been working in the company. Everyone outside knows that my second sister-in-law is from our Zhang family. If my second sister-in-law goes to Malaysia and cannot bear the loneliness,"
Zhang Yulin never said the next words, but he believed that Zhang Yuliang already understood what he meant.
In fact, Zhang Yuliang did understand what his third brother meant.
But is this reason valid?
"When the time comes, I will naturally send someone to keep an eye on the second sister-in-law in Malaysia!"
Zhang Yuliang has already fallen into his own fixed thinking at this time. As for the reason Zhang Yulin said, he thinks it can be used as a reason, but it is definitely not a reason not to go!
Zhang Yulin smiled and said, "If you can nip this kind of thing in the cradle, why bother?"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yulin thought that his goal had been achieved. He patted his butt and stood up. He looked around the slightly dark study room and complained, "I don't know what you are thinking. It's just this room."
, and they are still willing to stay.”
After saying that, Zhang Yulin hummed a tune and left the study.
When Zhang Yuliang was the only one left in the study, he sat there and muttered to himself, "I also want to burn this place down!"
The next day, Zhang Yuliang returned to the company.
Peng Guoliang was waiting for Zhang Yuliang in the company early.
"boss!"
Peng Guoliang looked at Zhang Yuliang with doubts in his eyes, obviously waiting for Zhang Yuliang's next order.
Zhang Yuliang was also very confused at this time. Although there was a test last night, it is still a bit arbitrary to say that they are investigating him. More importantly, if this matter is really confirmed,
So what I have to do next is no small matter.
So no matter what, Zhang Yuliang will always be cautious and cautious.
"Continue to observe first. If there are any new developments, please inform me as soon as possible!"
Zhang Yuliang finally preached like this.
Peng Guoliang glanced at Zhang Yuliang, said nothing, and turned to make arrangements.
Zhang Yuliang was sitting there with a complicated look on his face.
No. 12, Mount Galley Road, Chu Family Manor!
"So, Zhang Yuliang still hasn't made up his mind!"
Chu Huan had just finished listening to Wu Xiaohui's report, sitting on the sofa and preaching with a calm expression.
"It should be like this. Our people saw Zhang Yuliang's people taking the photos with their own eyes, but Zhang Yuliang didn't make any movement today. Those people under him were still observing Cui Xiuying and others as usual, and they didn't look at them for the time being.
Come out and find out what their intentions are!"
Wu Xiaohui told Chu Huan all the information he got!
Chu Huan leaned on the sofa and said calmly, "We can't delay this matter any longer. Who knows if Wheelock will really have a sale at Wheelock!"
Thinking of this, Chu Huan called Qi Dezun's phone number and told Qi Dezun that he should test Zhang Yuliang's tone again.
"Let's wait!" After putting down the phone, Chu Huan said to Wu Xiaohui, "If Zhang Yuliang agrees to sell the shares of Wheelock in his hand, then there is no need to do the next thing. If Zhang Yuliang still doesn't want to, then what will happen next?"
You can continue with your plan!"
Wu Xiaohui nodded seriously and said, "I understand, during this period I will let the people below conscientiously implement our current plan!"
Chu Huan nodded slightly and asked Wu Xiaohui to leave.
After Wu Xiaohui left, Chu Huan asked Wu Shuhan to come to his study.
"I heard that tomorrow night is a banquet for the Tan clan. Have they sent us an invitation?"
In Xiangjiang, in the early years, in addition to various chambers of commerce, there were also clan associations with various surnames, the purpose of which was also to organize groups and keep warm in Xiangjiang.
The same is true for the Tan Clan Association.
Every year, the clan association of each surname holds various banquets and invites celebrities from Hong Kong, hoping to increase their influence.
This is the same as the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce currently holds a reception at the end of every year.
Wu Shuhan just thought about it briefly and said, "The other party has already sent you an invitation letter, but Manager Xu said that you have always been unwilling to attend such cocktail parties, so she plans to wait until tomorrow morning.
I called to decline this invitation."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan said, "No need to refuse, let Xu Yi inform the Tan clan association tomorrow morning that I will attend their banquet!"
Wu Shuhan was a little confused. The Tan Clan Association did have some influence in Xiangjiang, especially the president of the Tan Clan Association, who was a well-established wealthy man in Xiangjiang and had done business with He Dong and others.
But in the final analysis, the influence of the Tan Clan Association in Xiangjiang is not very great. Chu Huan even refused the invitation of the He Clan Association before, but now he went to attend the banquet of the Tan Clan Association?
However, although Wu Shuhan had doubts in his heart, he did not ask Chu Huan, but turned around and called Xu Yi.
The next day, in the evening.
In front of Fulinmen Restaurant, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the lion and dragon dances were very lively.
At the same time, an old man in Tang suit stood in front of Fulinmen Restaurant. Every time a guest arrived, the old man would greet each guest with fists.
In addition, beside the old man, there were two middle-aged couples, one of which was Zhang Yulin and Tan Ailian.
"Dad, you can just go back to the restaurant. My eldest brother and I are here to help you greet the guests. Why do you have to be here by yourself?"
Tan Ailian held the old man's arm and preached with a smile.
The old man is none other than Tan Ailian’s father, Tan Qishi, the president of the Tan Clan Association!
In his early days, Tan Quanfu was engaged in business in the North-South line. Later, he handed over the business to his only son Tan Zhuofeng. Now he is engaged in soy sauce business in Hong Kong. Although his reputation has faded, the soy sauce produced by the Tan family is only second only to
Just Lee Kum Kee.
In addition, in the early years, Tan Qishi also bought a lot of properties and can now collect rent.
Therefore, although the Tan family is not well-known in Xiangjiang, they are still considered invisible wealthy people. The most important thing is that the Tan family is extremely low-key. Even decades later, with the development of information, there is very little news about their family.
Maybe this is the reason why Tan Qishi let his daughter marry Zhang Yulin!
Tan Qishi chuckled softly and said, "Not today. A distinguished guest is coming soon. I have to greet him personally at the door!"
Tan Ailian asked curiously, "Who is the distinguished guest you are talking about?"
Tan Zhuofeng on the side smiled and said, "It's Chu Huan from Jiaku. His secretary Xu Yi called specifically this morning and said that Chu Huan would come to congratulate him in person!"
Tan Ailian suddenly realized, "It turns out to be him. No wonder Dad, you are so solemn today!"
Tan Qishi smiled and said, "It's not just for you. I can't live for a few more years with my old bones. If I can help you accumulate more connections while I'm still alive, no one will dare to do it even if I'm gone in the future."
Bullying you!"
"No way, Dad, you will live a long life!" Tan Ailian said dissatisfiedly.
Tan Qishi laughed.
At this time, Chu Huan's car arrived at Fulinmen. Because there was a dragon and lion dance in front of it, Chu Huan got out of the car in advance and walked slowly towards Fulinmen Restaurant.
"Tan Weng, congratulations, congratulations!"
Chu Huan cupped his fists and smiled.
Tan Qishi also laughed and greeted him personally, saying with a smile, "When Mr. Chu is here, our Tan clan will be in full glory!"
The two parties exchanged greetings and prepared to enter Fulinmen. At this time, the dragon and lion dance ended, and Tan Zhuofeng passed by with a red envelope.
Seeing this situation, Chu Huan suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong with Director Chu?" Tan Qishi asked curiously when he saw Chu Huan's behavior.
Chu Huan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Nothing, I just want to see these masters. They are great people who have inherited our Chinese art!"
After hearing what Chu Huan said, the lion dance masters who were thanking Tan Zhuofeng hurried over and said to Chu Huan seriously, "Thank you, Director Chu, for your appreciation!"
Yes, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong body.
If anyone in the future tells me that the lion dance master is stupid, I will slap them in the mouth with the sole of my shoe.
"You're welcome, I speak from the bottom of my heart. I thank you all for your hard work!"
Although they just said "Thank you for your hard work", these lion dance masters were still very excited.
Then Chu Huan, Tan Qishi and others walked into the restaurant. There were already many people from Xiangjiang named Tan sitting in the restaurant.
When they saw Chu Huan coming, they all stood up to say hello, and Chu Huan responded one by one with a smile on his face.
At the dinner, Chu Huan did not overwhelm the guests, but just sat at the main table and chatted enthusiastically with Tan Qishi and others named Tan, including Zhang Yulin of course.
More than an hour later, Chu Huan stood up and left to say goodbye.
Tan Qishi's family personally sent Chu Huan outside the restaurant.
The next day, the news about Chu Huan's participation in the Tan family banquet was published in the newspapers. Although it did not make the front page due to the Wheelock acquisition war, anyone who cared about it would surely have seen it.
And this caring person is actually Zhang Yuliang!
Sitting in his office, Zhang Yuliang gritted his teeth as he looked at the photo in the newspaper of Chu Huan and Tan Qishi chatting and laughing, with Zhang Yulin standing next to them.
"Third brother, Chu Huan attended the Tan clan meeting yesterday. What did he talk to you about?"
Zhang Yuliang dialed Zhang Yulin's phone number.
"What are you talking about? Well, I'm going to the theater club right away, so I won't talk to you now."
