Chapter 433: The Crumbling Su Family (Ask for Subscription)
(All support!) οΌ
It's just an engagement, the Su family actually wants to invite the wealthy families of the whole capital to attend the banquet, and wants to make the marriage known to everyone, and it is clear that they want to take advantage of the situation to announce something, if it is not the moment of life and death, there is no need to do this.
Su Bonan glanced at his father, saw that he nodded slightly, and said to his future son-in-law: "You are very smart, it seems that you have already felt it!" That's right, our Su family has indeed encountered some troubles, and we need to use this marriage - to be precise, we want to use the power of you and the Xie family to block the storm. β
Chen Chen had already guessed this, so he said lightly: "We are a family, I should take action if you have difficulties, but I don't guarantee that the Xie family can also help, although I have a close relationship with the Xie family, but the family is the family, if the core interests are involved, I can't and am not willing to pull them into the water." β
"Of course we understand this, the wealthy family is powerful and unlimited in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not easy to stand for a long time, although the Xie family is prosperous now, it will not be willing to make enemies for outsiders in vain, if my Su family is in that position, it is the same." Su Bonan nodded, and then sighed: "We don't expect the Xie family and my Su family alliance, we just want you to talk to Xie Lao and Brother Xie Shi, and ask them to take care of my Su family at this juncture." β
Chen Chen was very surprised by Su Bonan's low profile, no matter how the Su family is, it is also one of the six great families in China, although the mountains and rivers are no longer beautiful, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, how to say that it is also a well-known wealthy family, and there is a former Standing Committee boss like Su Panshi in the family, it stands to reason that even if the progress is insufficient, self-protection is still no problem, how can it be mixed to the point that it needs to be taken care of by others?
Seeing that his future son-in-law was a little confused, Su Bonan sighed and said: "You went abroad some time ago, so I don't know, since the death of Old Man Wu, the power of the Wu family has been greatly inferior to before, although there is the support of the Wu Committee/Chief, but he is not in good health, and he was seriously ill some time ago, and now the Wu family is powerless to resist the forces of all parties, Wu Lao took the opportunity to make a decision, and chose to make concessions in the recent series of provincial and ministerial-level personnel appointments, which can be regarded as withdrawing from the top-level game and preserving himself, but in this way, But it disturbed the situation in the capital, and those powerful and wealthy families who were willing to seek greater benefits at the time of the change began to snatch the power vacuum left by the Wu family's withdrawal, and they fought endlessly for a while. β
Chen Chen immediately frowned, looked at his future father-in-law with burning eyes, and said, "Don't tell me that the Su family has also waded into this muddy water!" β
Su Bonan smiled bitterly, nodded and said: "The power is moving, which side of the wealthy family who wants to make a difference in the next ten years will stand by and watch others rise in this feast and climb to the top?" My Su family is naturally no exception! β
Chen Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily: "Which fool was the first to come up with the idea?" Is he mentally retarded? How does the Su family compare to the Wu family now? It's not as good as that! Everyone knows that Mingzhe protects himself, takes a step back and opens the sky, and simply withdraws to protect the family without the strength to fight for power, and you are still stupid to rush into the gladiatorial arena to find death, it is really unwise! β
Su Bonan was very embarrassed, the power vacuum after the withdrawal of the Wu family was first proposed by his eldest brother, he felt inappropriate and objected, but the old father supported the eldest brother's proposal out of the idea of wanting the Su family to take advantage of the situation to rise again, and as a result, it was defeated by the forces of all parties, and now the family is crumbling.
Su Panshi has been in the political arena for many years, and has been tempered by many ups and downs, and has long been accustomed to being quiet when encountering any difficulties, but now his old face is slightly red, and it is difficult to sit still, even a child can see that the water depth of the capital is not suitable for danger, why did I faint at the beginning? β¦,
But now it is useless to regret it, there is no regret in the fall, the big mistake has been made, the key is to get through the current difficulties and keep the foundation of the family, but now the difficulty is that the Su family is already in the game and can't get out, those powerful predators are not satisfied after sharing the power vacuum of the Wu family's withdrawal, and they want to swallow the Su family who broke into the urn, so he is anxious to take advantage of Chen Chen's marriage with his granddaughter, hoping to use the deterrent power of the tenth game and the Xie family to force back those predators who are looking around.
Chen Chen rubbed his eyebrows and asked with a headache, "How bad is the situation now?" Won't you tell me plainly? β
Su Panshi sighed heavily, and said: "It can be regarded as the edge of the cliff, and those predators of the family who are chasing after each other have seized on the matter of her uncle back then, and attacked our Su family for embezzling national assets." β
Chen Chen frowned and said, "Isn't this matter already over?" You've taken a back seat because of this, why are they bringing it up again after so long? β
Su Panshi's eyes flickered, and he didn't say a reason for a long time.
Chen Chen was angry in his heart, got up and said: "You don't want to say that I am not reluctant, how are you willing to take advantage of the marriage between me and Yiyi, even if you go to toss yourself, I promise to play a play for you obediently, as for the result, I will leave it to fate, goodbye to you!" β
Su Bonan saw that his future son-in-law was angry, so he hurriedly got up and pulled him to sit down, and after comforting him, he frowned and said to the old father: "Dad, let's not hide it from our own family, the eldest brother did a really disgraceful job back then, no wonder there are still people holding on to it today." β
Su Panshi sighed and said, "I know! That's it, you tell Xiao Chen, the family is unfortunate, the old man and I have no way to teach my son, and the moths in the family are out of the country, so I really don't have the face to mention that ugly thing! β
Su Bonan also sighed lightly, and said to his future son-in-law: "That's the case, my eldest brother was the general manager of the National Mining Group, although this position is not heavy, but he is in charge of the national metal energy business, the steel, iron ore, copper ore, rare metals, etc. required for the infrastructure construction of various provinces, cities and regions across the country are purchased from the national mines under the Ministry of Energy or imported from foreign energy countries through this group, and the purchase price is much cheaper than the foreign sale!" If you think about it, at that time, the country was in a period of high-speed construction, and the ore required every day was massive, and it was far from enough to simply purchase the ore produced by state-owned enterprises, and the vast majority of them had to be imported from foreign energy giants. β
"According to the laws and regulations of the country, in order to avoid huge losses caused by large changes in international ore prices, the imported ore required for China's infrastructure construction must be purchased once a day according to the international market, but at that time, the world was in a period of rapid development, and the international ore price changed three times a day, rising very rapidly, so my eldest brother moved his mind, thinking that since the price of ore has been rising, why not purchase enough to hoard it at a time when the price is low, and wait for the price to skyrocket before selling, so as to return the principal of the mining group. The rest of the profits can be kept to themselves, who knows-"
Hearing this, Chen Chen didn't understand what was going on, he was a fool, so he followed the words of his future father-in-law and continued: "How do you know that after Su Bodong violated the regulations and privately used a huge amount of money to purchase a large amount of ore, he happened to encounter the Asian financial crisis, and the international ore price plummeted, and he not only failed to make a profit on this batch of ore, but also caused huge losses, right?" β
Su Bonan nodded embarrassedly, and said very embarrassedly: "After this matter was exposed, my Su family was disgraced, my father retreated to the second line in order to save my eldest brother's life, the official statement at that time was that my eldest brother was corrupt and took bribes, but he concealed a huge loss, but people at a considerable level in the senior level knew the truth, at that time, my Su family retreated to the Wu family today in order to protect themselves, so those predators did not hold on to this matter, and the matter has stopped after four or five years. But because my Su family's recent participation in the struggle for power annoyed those predators, they mentioned this matter again, framing my eldest brother for causing huge losses back then was in collusion with foreign energy giants, intending to embezzle national assets, this big hat was pressed down, my Su family was suddenly very passive, and what is even worse is that this rumor made the top bigwigs suspicious, so in the recent series of senior personnel appointments and dismissals, the people supported by my Su family have fallen one after another intentionally or unintentionally, and the building is about to fall, and it is already in danger! ββ¦,
Chen Chen sneered: "So you want to borrow the marriage between me and Yiyi, so that those predators can sell the tenth game and the Xie family's face and let you go?" β
Su Panshi's father and son looked ashamed, but they still nodded.
Su Yiyi knew that the reason why her grandfather and father were in a hurry to let her get engaged to her sweetheart was not for her happiness, but for the sake of family interests, and her little face suddenly lost its luster, and her beautiful eyes were full of tears.
Chen Chen was very distressed, hugged the little girl in his arms, and whispered a few words of comfort to her, but the beautiful girl was still depressed, lying in his arms and sobbing softly, Chen Chen could understand the baby's mood at the moment, a few months ago, the Su family disregarded her lifelong happiness intentions and married the Wu family for the sake of family interests, and after being finally stopped, now she wants to use her marriage to force the man she loves to help, and the Su family completely broke the little girl's heart three times and twice regardless of her feelings.
The men who are bullied and don't say a word are all planted, and Chen Chen is obviously quite kind, even in front of the future father-in-law's family, he dares to shoot the case, the young man glared at everyone angrily, and said coldly: "I love Yiyi, I like her, so I will definitely marry her, but we don't want our love to be mixed with calculations and interests, so I'm sorry, don't mention the engagement for the time being, wait until you learn to respect the feelings between us!" β
Su Panshi's old face is ugly, no junior has ever dared to be so unkind to him, if he had been angry before, but now he has no capital to argue with this young man, the Su family is already crumbling at sunset, but Chen Chen is as sharp as the sunrise in the east, the status between the two sides has long been reversed, in the face of his accusation, Su Panshi's old face turned red but he couldn't refute it.
"Wood-" Su Yiyi was soft-hearted, seeing that her grandfather and father looked desperate, her brows were tightly locked, and although her heart was very sad, she couldn't help but pull her sweetheart's hand.
Chen Chen looked at the pitiful appearance of the little girl who wanted to speak and stopped, sighed slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, groaned for a while, and said lightly: "For Yiyi's sake, I can show you a way to liveββ"
