Chapter 155 - Strategic Cooperation (2)
At this time, the guests in the small hall were almost gone, and several staff members were cleaning up.
He Wandong and Ling Zikai found a place that had been cleaned and sat down.
"Uncle He, if you have anything, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help!"
"Thank you!"
He Wandong said with a grateful face: "I have no one to help except you." ”
Because he didn't know what the other party wanted to help him and didn't dare to guarantee the ticket, Ling Zikai smiled and didn't answer, but waited quietly for the other party to tell the matter.
He Wandong straightened out his thoughts, and said with some embarrassment: "It is said that the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, but Brother Ling is also his own family, and I have nothing to hide."
This has to start from the time when my wife Ah Fang and I met. We started falling in love when we were in college, and we fell in love with each other.
Unexpectedly, after my relationship with Ah Fang was known to the old man, he was resolutely opposed.
The reason is simple, and it also feels a little ridiculous.
The reason is because I am a member of the Ho family on Hong Kong Island and the future successor of Wanlong Group.
To paraphrase what the old man said at the time, that is: Lao Tzu participated in the revolution to overthrow capitalism, but now he wants me to marry my daughter to the son of a capitalist as a daughter-in-law, and I want to be beautiful!
At that time, the country's reform and opening up policy had just been implemented, and people's ideological concepts had not yet been truly emancipated.
Seeing that a tragic scene of beating mandarin ducks was about to be staged, we secretly ran to Hong Kong Island and eloped with the passion of "life is precious, love is more valuable".
The old man was furious, saying that we were more hateful than the traitors who had defected on the battlefield, and threatened to lead troops to Hong Kong Island, and shot us after being caught.
Of course, such a thing could not happen, but the old man announced to the public that he had dissolved the father-daughter relationship with Ah Fang, and she was not allowed to set foot in the Zhang family compound from now on.
At the same time, he also said that we Wanlong Group are not allowed to have any business activities in the Northern Province. Although this was only an unwritten ban, with the old man's prestige in the Northern Province, no one really dared to disobey him. Therefore, over the years, our Wanlong Group has operated industries in other parts of the country, but has never set foot in the northern province for half a step. ”
Listening to He Wandong narrating the past, Ling Zikai asked curiously: "Since the old man doesn't allow you to step into the Zhang family's compound for half a step, what can you think of to make him change his mind and allow you to come in?"
He Wandong smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think that we can appear in the Zhang family's compound now, is it because the old man has taken back his life?
Three years ago, Ah Ling secretly ran to Xing'an City without us and recognized her biological grandfather. There is a saying that is called intergenerational parenting, right?
Although the old man was angry with me and Ah Ling, he recognized Ah Ling, his niece. In addition, this little girl has a straightforward personality and a sweet mouth, and after staying in the compound for a few days, she is deeply favored by the old man.
During the Spring Festival last year, after 20 years of separation, our husband and wife once again climbed the threshold of the Zhang family compound.
We knelt down the steps of the hall for more than two hours, and the old man was always closed.
Ah Ling said all the good things for us in front of the old man, and the two uncles of Siping and Jiefang kept persuading, the old man finally didn't kick us out of the compound, but he didn't say anything, and agreed to let us stay.
Since then, although we have also come to the Zhang family compound many times, the old man has always been lukewarm to us, like a passerby. When we met, we were as awkward as we were!"
Ling Zikai looked at He Wandong's gloomy expression, and sighed in his heart, and said: "I can't imagine that the old man has such a strong temperament, he is already ninety years old, what else can't he let go! However, since he can acquiesce to you entering and leaving the compound, as long as it takes a long time, the knot in your heart will be slowly unraveled." Maybe he also wants to recognize your daughter and son-in-law in his heart now, but he can't let go of his face for a while!"
"This is exactly what I want to ask Brother Ling for your help!"
Ling Zikai said in some surprise: "You mean, you want me to do the old man's ideological work and let him recognize his daughter again?"
After seeing He Wandong nodded, Ling Zikai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle He, it's not that I don't want to go, but it won't be useless to go, old man, he can listen to my persuasion as a hairy boy!"
"No, I'm sure that as long as you intercede for our husband and wife in front of the old man, the old man will definitely give you this face!"
Ling Zikai smiled bitterly: "Uncle He, you are too exalted to me!"
Seeing that Ling Zikai refused to agree, He Wandong couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and blurted out: "Brother Ling, you may not know, the old man once said that no matter what you ask, no matter who the Zhang family is, they must obey unconditionally. Because you are the patron saint of the Zhang family!"
Ling Zikai was stunned and asked, "Guardian Spirit?
He Wandong probably felt that he was a little speechless, and hurriedly said: "I don't know what the old man meant, in a word, you are the person that the old man values the most, as long as you come forward, the old man will definitely be able to agree." Brother Ling, this matter is begged by our husband and wife. Anyway, our husband and wife have already discussed, if you don't agree, then we will follow your ass every day, and we will follow you wherever you go, until you promise to help!"
Ling Zikai saw that He Wandong actually played a rogue act in the end, and couldn't help but be funny and angry, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'm afraid of you, I promise you!"
He Wandong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Brother Ling, whether this thing is successful or not, I owe you a great favor." In the future, if you can use my He Wandong's strength, you just have to give orders, and I will go all out!"
Ling Zikai and their side had just been decided, Zhang Fang, He Ling, and Du Juan Zhang Hao came over with a smile.
When he arrived, Zhang Fang said to He Wandong: "Wandong, I have just decided to cooperate with Zikai and them to develop a project to produce beauty cream on behalf of Tianlong Group for you, you won't object!"
