The investigation into Ruizhen Electronics and Qin Xingfeng caused an uproar in the industry. This matter involved a small part of the Chen Group and the processing results were even more vigorous. It was heard that there was a flaw in the cooperation with Ruizhen Electronics and many problems were found internally. However, it was just a small company project. Why did the Chen family make such a big deal out of it?

The actions of the Chen family had always been the focus of other competitors. This wave seemed vigorous but the many people secretly observing the Chen Group found that there was an imperceptible wave of mid-level management shuffling.

Shen Yuhuai came home on the weekend and found the father and daughter of the Shen family chatting while drinking tea. They happened to be discussing this matter.

“The matter of Ruizhen Electronics is a good opportunity this time. Old Chen always wanted to pave the way for his son. Shiming might have actual achievements but it still wasn’t enough to move the stubborn old group of shareholders. This time, Ruizhen Electronics’ matter involved commercial spies and became a knife for Chen Shiming.” Father Shen smiled and said, “This opportunity came too coincidentally. The people of the Chen family are also smart. It is hard to say what relationships of interest are here and there might be actions in the future.”

Shen Xuelan added, “If this matter isn’t a coincidence, I wonder if someone designed it. The opportunity is too good.”

Father Shen noticed Shen Yuhuai. “Did you come back? Stay at home this week.”

“I’m not busy this week and I can stay for two days.” Shen Yuhuai sat down next to them. “What are you talking about?”

Shen Xuelan replied, “We are talking about the Chen family. There has been a lot of gossip lately.”

She saw that Shen Yuhuai was rarely interested in this type of thing and talked a lot. “It is a fight between crooks. The illegitimate son of the Qin family and others used Ruizhen Electronics and originally wanted to trick Chen Shiming’s unsatisfactory younger brother. The result was that it gave Chen Shiming a chance to attack.”

Father Shen continued, “There is no loss for the Chen family. It is just a pity for the younger son of the Chen family. This is the first time he engaged in investment but he was deceived. His project was ruined.”

Shen Yuhuai heard this and couldn’t help his eyes falling on Father Shen. “Is it a loss?”

“I don’t know if he lost money or not, but I heard the terms of the contract are good and he received a lot of money for damages.” Shen Xuelan looked at Father Shen. “You don’t need to feel pity for him. I heard that the day after the accident, he took his friends to the bar for a meal. It is like you don’t know the little tyrant of the Chen family.”

Chen Qizhao’s reputation was too bad and he was really the polar opposite of Chen Shiming.

Every time Father Shen thought of that child, he always felt pity for his friend.

Shen Yuhuai wondered, “Little tyrant?”

“You don’t even know about this?” Shu Xuelan explained with a few more words. “He is just like the group of rich second generation in the circle who only eat, drink and have nothing to do. I heard that his temper is quite explosive.”

Shen Yuhuai took a sip from the tea cup in front of him. “Is that so? I think he is pretty well-behaved and polite.”

He had just finished speaking when he noticed the father and daughter of the Shen family giving him a strange look.

Shen Xuelan was drinking tea and she almost choked when she heard Shen Yuhuai’s words. “If you say these words, even his brother Chen Shiming won’t believe it.”

She added, “It is good to read books but you need to train your vision in seeing people.”

Father Shen changed the subject. “Didn’t you know Chen Shiming well when you were in high school? Why haven’t I seen the two of you contact each other now?”

Shen Xuelan cleared up their relationship. “If we want to meet then we have to see if there is time. Why do I need a man? It is enough to have a cool career. Don’t try to urge me about marriage. I can’t get along with Chen Shiming. You might as well count on my little brother rather than me.”

“I’m not urging you. Didn’t you always run to the Chen house after school when you were a child? Can’t I ask a few questions?” Father Shen looked at Shen Yuhuai. “Yuhuai, if you have free time then don’t mess around with those things all day. Your uncle said last time that he hadn’t seen you for several years. Don’t die reading and relax. Take time to go out with me next week to meet people.”

Shen Yuhuai glanced at the financial newspaper on the table and responded simply.

—

There were many people outside watching the fun and many people  who didn’t think it was too much to come and ask the victim.

Many people came to Chen Qizhao to inquire about internal information and were confused by Chen Qizhao’s words.

What did they ask about? It was just to find out some commercial spies in advance, who was going to be sued and who would be dismissed. What could Chen Qizhao know as someone who went to college and someone who took advantage of a crisis for personal gain. He was just ‘lucky’ to receive high penalty fees.

There weren’t many people involved in Ruizhen Electronics. The fact that so many people could be found showed that Chen sensed something wrong early on. He started with Ruizhen Electronics while planning to deal with other people. This way, he could do it all at the critical moment rather than alerting the enemies.

Chen Qizhao looked at the list that came out from within the Chen Group. People he had seen in his previous life and also hadn’t seen were all found. The scope of involvement was wide but in the end, they were all people who did things for others. The highest position was one or two managers and some people deep in hiding hadn’t emerged at all.

Chen Qizhao wasn’t surprised by this. If it was so easy to find out, the skills of the two workaholics in the family meant it wouldn’t have dragged out the situation for so long. Ruizhen Electronics was just an opportunity. It wasn’t easy to completely remove the tumor entrenched in the Chen family. First, cut off some of his hands and feet to raise the vigilance of Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming. Then try and move onto the next step.

“Hey, how could this good thing go wrong?” Zhang Yazhi patted Chen Qizhao’s hand in a distressed manner. “I blame that child of the Qin family. His own accounts weren’t clean and he still came to drag you into the water. Fortunately, you didn’t suffer a big loss this time. Wait for me to ask my friends if there are any good projects. I will find them for you.”

Chen Qizhao told her, “Let’s talk about it later.”

Zhang Yazhi looked at the things in Chen Qizhao’s hands and asked in a confused manner, “Why did you buy this?”

Chen Qizhao pulled her hand flat. “Don’t talk.”

The value on the electronic blood pressure monitor was beating. Once the number reached the end, it calmed down and reported a normal value.

Zhang Yazhi untied the straps. “This time is useless.”

“Leave it at home. I will have Uncle Zhang check it for you every time.” Chen Qizhao put away his things and suddenly remembered something. “When you take the test, have Father take it as well. His one must be high.”

Zhang Yazhi laughed loudly. “Are you saying that about your father?”

“Am I wrong? Didn’t he not take care of himself when smoking and drinking when he was young?”

Zhang Yazhi thought about it. “That is true. I asked him to lose weight with me a few days ago but he didn’t listen.”

Chen Qizhao took the measuring instrument to the side and sat next to Zhang Yazhi.

Zhang Yazhi talked about her husband in front of her youngest son. Then she glanced at the boy sitting next to her. Even though her family members mentioned that Chen Qizhao wasn’t up to expectations and nothing could be done about their personality, Zhang Yazhi was still keenly aware of a slight difference. In the past, Chen Qizhao was arrogant and troubled and couldn’t say any good words to his family. Now Chen Qizhao’s personality didn’t seem to have changed much, but looking closely, there was also the feeling that the child in front of her had grown up a bit.

She suddenly said, “Xiao Zhao, you seem a bit different recently.”

Chen Qizhao looked at her in a strange manner. “What is the difference?”

Zhang Yazhi said, “Last time I talked to you, you left without even listening to two sentences.”

Chen Qizhao’s eyes were half closed and he looked down at his phone. “It isn’t a bad thing to listen to a few more sentences.”

There were times when he couldn’t hear it.

Zhang Yazhi smiled. “You seem to be a bit more sensible and obedient than before.”

Chen Qizhao thought with an expressionless face, ‘Obedient?’

…Zhang Yazhi liked it, Chen Shiming liked it and even Shen Yuhuai liked it.

“You only come back when you are on vacation and it is hard for me to talk to you.” Zhang Yazhi had repeated this several times. “If there is no class then you can go home. This place isn’t far away. If you are too lazy to call a car then I will have Old Lin pick you up.”

Old Lin was the driver at home. He had been with the Chen family since Chen Jianhong was young and was similar in age to Chen Jianhong. He was usually responsible for transporting the two workaholics to the company in the morning.

Chen Qizhao had also been picked up by Old Lin when he went to school as a child. He always had a good feeling toward this kind driver. However, this person didn’t end up well in the end. On the day of Chen Shiming’s car accident, he was the one who listened to Chen Shiming’s instructions to accelerate and he finally died on the spot.

Chen Qizhao accepted this heart. “There are many classes at school and I will go back when I have time.”

Zhang Yazhi was accustomed to his answer. Chen Qizhao had replied like this the last time she said it. She told him, “Oh yes, you must come back next week. I will take you to a place to play.”

“What place?” Chen Qizhao asked doubtfully.

“A charity party.” Zhang Yazhi was worried that Chen Qizhao wouldn’t go and mentioned a few more friends who were familiar with Chen Qizhao. “I heard your father say that Kaiqi has recently returned to China to develop and the Yan family seems to have plans to shift their focus back to China. There are friends like that so you should all go. Xiao Yan should also be going. There will be many people at this party. Once the time comes, I will introduce you to people. It will be good to have more ways to do business in the future.”

She had already made a plan. Since the child wanted to do business, his parents should pave the way for the child.

It was especially so in a circle like S City. It was better for Chen Qizhao to know a few more people and not always get to know those who were dubious. What if he encountered another Qin Xingfeng?

“I’ll talk about it next week.”

Chen Qizhao listened carelessly while hise eyes stopped on the Moments that was always lively.

In addition to his friends and new acquaintances, the Moments were fresh and lively. After so many years of seeing this type of ‘peers’ life, he didn’t have too many fluctuations in his heart. He even felt that some ideas he had when he was young were naive and boring.

He scrolled and scrolled until he reached Shen Yuhuai’s Moments.

Shen Yuhuai: [Picture] The weather is very good.

The picture showed a small white flower surrounded by green grass and a few pebbles. It shone in the sunlight and was very beautiful.

Chen Qizhao clicked on the photo and the phone screen was suddenly filled with photos.

Chen Qizhao had seen Shen Yuhuai’s Moments many times. The update frequency was very low and the last time he sent something to his Moments was two months ago. This photo was a rare life photo compared to the boring and tedious competition content.

Zhang Yazhi saw it and said, “This flower is shot well. it is very beautiful.”

Chen Qizhao showed her the screen and explained, “My friend took it.”

“A friend who plays with photography?”

Chen Qizhao paused slightly. “A friend who does research.”

As the two people were talking, there was a noise from outside the door.

Chen Qizhao immediately retracted his gaze. He looked up and saw Chen Jianhong walking in. There seemed to be a young man in a suit behind him. He didn’t pay much attention until he saw the face of the man who followed Chen Jianhong in.

Zhang Yazhi was talking to Chen Qizhao when she saw him suddenly staring straight at the door. “What’s wrong?”

Chen Qizhao instinctively let go of his hand. The slightly bulging blue veins on the back of his hand suddenly disappeared under his skin and his momentary emotional exposure was concealed.

Following by Chen Jianhong’s side was… a rat who was hidden extremely deeply.

It has been a long time, Jiang Yuze.
