Chapter 262 Emergency

We didn't stay in Macau for very long.

The blessing of having multiple wives had not yet been realized.

Jingcheng then made a phone call.

An emergency has occurred at the Wen family's residence, and they need to return immediately.

get off a plane.

A minivan is waiting.

I could see it from afar.

Wen Yining was standing by the car, her face was a little pale, her long hair was tied in a low bun, and the loose strands were messy from the wind. She was wearing a black cashmere coat with the collar turned up, a white sweater, and gray fleece pants.

Her fingers unconsciously traced the edge of her coat pocket, where a folded piece of paper was tucked. Her face was expressionless, except for the occasional glance at her wrist, which betrayed a hint of unease.

The three of us quickly walked over.

"You're here? Get in the car."

The van sped along, and no one inside spoke.

Destination: A private courtyard.

"We can't go to the Wen family for now, so let's talk here. Zhongqing will wait inside."

Upon entering, I saw Zhong Qing with a serious expression, making a phone call.

The tea on the table had long since lost its heat.

Hang up the phone.

"Everyone's here, please sit down."

Zhong Qingzhu stood up and sat down next to Wen Yining.

"You guys chat."

I offered to make tea, but most of the time I didn't participate in their conversation.

"The worst has happened. Zheng Xinshi has betrayed us, and the Wen family is now in a very passive position. It is estimated that they will lose at least half of their positions."

"Has it affected the old man?"

Wen Yining nodded, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke: "The best-case scenario is a transfer to the CPPCC, the worst-case scenario..."

This was an earthquake, initially thought to be merely a power struggle among provincial leaders, an anti-corruption campaign stemming from internal strife. Who would have thought the real intention was something else entirely? Someone had actually turned Zheng Xinshi against the Wen family, with the ultimate goal of targeting them.

"Have you found out which company it is?"

Wen Yining looked haggard: "It's pointless. I came here not hoping for your help. The building is about to collapse, and one pillar cannot save it. After learning that this matter originated from a conspiracy against the Wen family, we have already begun to make arrangements for our future. I will graduate next year and move from the forefront to behind the scenes. All of the Wen family's businesses will be scaled back and sold off, and all the Wen family's officials will go into hiding. From then on, the Wen family will withdraw from the stage."

In any struggle, it's always a case of one side finishing their act and the other taking the stage.

The joy of 00 graduating early

The impact of the Wen family incident gradually faded.

"Now that things are settled, don't dwell on it. Your main concern is what you'll do after graduation. Do you have any plans?"

Shake his head.

"Lingling, before we might have had to wait until you grew up, but now, the Wen family is no longer of any use to us, I'm sorry. However, I can tell you clearly now that as long as you graduate, you can use the Wen family's power at will."

"These are all unimportant. Ningning, if you don't mind, you can actually help my husband. His business is growing bigger and bigger, and he's in dire need of people around him. In the future, we sisters can still stay connected."

This can be considered a small olive branch extended by Ling Ling.

The fact that they were able to meet Wen Yining at this time indicates that they have a very close relationship.

"Let's talk about it after I graduate."

Then, Wen Yining looked at me and said, "Brother Tian, ​​thank you for your help. If it weren't for your plan, the Wen family might have been wiped out. Fortunately, your plan threw them into disarray, which allowed us to react in time."

"You've always taken such good care of Lingling, and we're friends, so I'd be happy to do something for you. You should carefully consider what Lingling said. I'm not only short of manpower right now, but also lack partners in this area. After all, I come from a small city, and I'm not quite up to the task of accessing some high-level resources. I hope you can help me."

Wen Yining was somewhat moved.

When trouble strikes within the family, everyone avoids it like the plague.

Many women are afraid to answer the phone, so being able to meet her is a testament to the sisterly bond we've built over the years.

"I'll wait until after graduation to see how things are at home. If things calm down and it doesn't affect you, then I'll come to you, Brother Tian."

"You're welcome anytime."

Wen Yining left quickly.

The three of them were left in the room, plus me, the third wheel.

"Tell me, what were you three doing in Macau behind my back?"

"Enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives."

"You damned woman, how dare you speak so boldly."

Zhong Qing tapped Zhao Xing's head.

"Qingqing, your information is quite accurate. What's Ningning's family situation?"

"It's much more serious than she described; there's less than one in ten chance of survival. You heard her say that the best-case scenario is going to the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference), and now everyone is waiting for the results from higher authorities."

"well--"

Even a casual sigh can convey the pressure that everyone can feel!

Zhong Qing looked at me and said, "Brother Tian, ​​I have a business opportunity for you. Do you want to take it?"

I asked curiously, "What kind of business?"

"Machining".

I was quite eager to try, but I still wanted to clarify: "Are there any qualification requirements?"

"You can acquire an existing machine shop."

Lingling looked at Zhong Qing with surprise: "Doesn't your family never do this?"

"Yes, but we're short of money right now. The situation is dire, and there are fewer and fewer ways to make money. We have to start a side business."

I asked, puzzled, "Why not do it yourself?"

"It can't be done."

Lingling nodded in agreement: "Indeed, even your family is starting a side business. The domestic economy has indeed reached a critical point."

Zhong Qing smiled wryly from the side: "This is a matter between us sisters. I'm just trying to help Brother Tian make money, so don't tell your mentor. It'll have a bad influence."

"Don't worry, I understand you're doing this for Tian's own good, but I still want to know the specific reasons."

What does it mean to do it for my own good?

Of course, in the next instant I realized, this is love making a pledge!

What's the reason?

"Of course it's not just about money. The Wen family's troubles actually confirm your earlier assertion that you have high hopes for your abilities. Everyone is vying for opportunities, positions, and survival in the face of historical trends, and our family is no exception. Your assertion and its confirmation have already proven your abilities. If I don't help you now, and wait until you've fully grown up before adding to your success, I, as your daughter, can't do that."

Zhao Xing nodded in agreement.

The younger generation has its own ideas.

The older generation has its own plans.

Express your opinions.

"My brother wants to see you."

"Let's go after the New Year, then we can all go together."

"Okay, I'll pass this message on to him. He's not moving for a while, waiting for you."

Zhongqing also left.

Zhao Xing, standing to the side, asked curiously, "His brother isn't that...?"

"right."

"It seems Qingqing thinks highly of you too."

"Is that so? But the price for this optimism is far too high. Like a pack of wolves devouring a tiger, it was unexpected that the Wen family would ultimately lose power."

This year's New Year was really hectic.

Zhao Xing ultimately did not return to Macau.

The university dormitories are always open.

We spent New Year's Eve together with my aunt and me, the four of us.

Chinese New Year

There was no atmosphere.

There's no festive atmosphere.
