Chapter 078: A Real Chess Player
It's late at night.
The Shen family's ancestral house is rarely brightly lit.
Two cars with special license plates came to the door of the Shen family's ancestral house and stopped one after the other.
Shen Wande and Shen Feng's uncle and nephew got out of the car.
"Wande, Xiaofeng, you are here."
A middle-aged man waited at the door of the Shen family's old mansion, and when he saw Shen Wande and Shen Feng, he took the initiative to say hello.
He is Zhu Wen, the chief housekeeper of the Shen family, and used to be the secretary of Shen Qingyuan, the old man of the Shen family.
Shen Qingyuan, the old man of the Shen family, once entered Yanjing as a think tank, served in an important institution for more than ten years, and was finally only one step away from the center, and had a very strong network.
This is also the main reason why the Shen family was able to replace the Qiao family and become the number one wealthy family in Jiangnan after the Qiao family declined.
It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
Without the big tree of Shen Qingyuan, no matter how hard the children of the Shen family worked, they would not be as productive as they are now.
After all, in today's increasingly volatile world, the more classes are consolidated, the upward channel is narrower, and hard work has become the standard for successful people.
"Uncle Zhu."
"Zhu Wen, the old man is in the study?"
Shen Feng and Shen Wande spoke one after another.
Zhu Wen nodded and said:
"Well, he's waiting for you in the study, and I'll take you there."
"Okay."
Shen Wande nodded, and then followed Shen Feng and Zhu Wen to the study.
Through the lights in the courtyard, it can be seen that the faces of Shen Wande and Shen Feng's uncle and nephew are not good-looking.
Originally, they wanted to deal with Chen Ye's affairs without alarming Shen Qingyuan, but it went against people's wishes - they didn't deal with it in the end, but were called here by Shen Qingyuan to talk.
In the study, Shen Qingyuan was wearing pajamas and sitting at the desk.
He is old, his hair is gray, he wears a pair of reading glasses, but his face is ruddy, and his spirit is far better than that of his peers.
On his desk are all kinds of red-headed documents, some local, some Yanjing, as well as several major state-media newspapers.
The bookcase behind him was filled with all kinds of books, from ancient history to modern politics, culture, and economics, each of which looked a little shabby, and he had read it more than once.
"Elder Shen, they're here."
Zhu Wen walked into the study and reported to Shen Qingyuan.
Shen Qingyuan didn't raise his head and said, "Let them wait at the door of the study for half an hour." β
"Okay, Shen Lao."
Zhu Wen was ordered to retreat.
At the door of the study, Shen Wande and Shen Feng's uncle and nephew heard what Zhu Wen conveyed, and they all sighed in their hearts, understanding that Shen Qingyuan was asking them to stand at the door of the study and reflect.
It turned out to be exactly what they had predicted.
Half an hour later, when they walked into the study, Shen Qingyuan put down a document in his hand and asked, "Have you reflected?" β
"Dad, it's me who didn't discipline Xiaolang strictly and didn't think well about how to deal with the rest of the matter."
Shen Wande lowered his head and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Shen Feng also bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, grandpa, I'm too young and vigorous." β
"Is this the result of your introspection? What a disappointment for me! β
Shen Qingyuan frowned, took off his reading glasses, and reprimanded: "You guys haven't figured out what's wrong at all!" β
This time, Shen Wande and Shen Feng's uncle and nephew were silent, and they didn't dare to speak.
"The issue of family style and disciplining offspring is a common issue, so I won't talk about it. I still say the same thing, Shen Wande, you are doing discipline work. You know better than anyone in the Shen family that if you don't manage your wife and son well, there will be a big disaster in the future! β
Shen Qingyuan frowned, and first scolded Shen Wande.
"I'm sorry, Dad, I will definitely strengthen their management in the future."
Shen Wande admitted his mistake again.
Shen Qingyuan no longer struggled with the problem of family style, but set his sights on Shen Feng:
"Xiaofeng, let me ask you, why do you think that young man named Chen Ye dares to provoke our Shen family?"
"Grandpa, I thought he didn't know the sky at first, but then he felt that something was wrong, and he should have something to rely on."
Shen Feng looked up at Shen Qingyuan and said his opinion.
"Have you done a detailed investigation beforehand? Do you know his background? Shen Qingyuan asked.
Shen Feng shook his head: "I just did a preliminary investigation, and I didn't have an in-depth understanding." β
"That's the biggest mistake you've ever made in this matter!
I have taught you that without in-depth investigation and understanding, there is no clear understanding of anything, and it is impossible to make correct judgments and decisions. Not only does work require research, but so do things in life! β
Shen Qingyuan pointed to the right path.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Shen Feng lowered his head again.
Shen Qingyuan sighed softly and continued:
"Taking a step back, even if you don't have an in-depth investigation and understanding, you don't know the details of that Chen Ye, and subjectively think that he is just a reckless man who doesn't know the height of the sky, but what you did is wrong."
Shen Feng raised his head again, and Shen Wande also looked at Shen Qingyuan.
"Since you think he's a crockpot, why do you want to fight him personally?
Porcelain does not fight with clay pots, this sentence, you have not understood thoroughly. β
Shen Qingyuan hit the nail on the head.
When Shen Wande and Shen Feng heard this, their faces changed, as if they had been empowered.
Shen Qingyuan continued to ask: "Xiaofeng, tell me, what are you going to do next?" β
"That Chen Ye must pay the price! Of course, I'll do it after I've thoroughly investigated the details of him. Next time, I won't be there in person. β
Shen Feng looked hateful.
Since he was a child, he has always stepped on people, how can he be trampled on the ground and rubbed like today?
Shen Qingyuan seemed to be dissatisfied with this answer, his brows furrowed even tighter, but he didn't get angry, but asked quietly:
"How?"
"Use all the intelligence resources available to the Shen family......"
Shen Feng was halfway through speaking, and saw a look of disappointment between his grandfather Shen Qingyuan's eyebrows, and understood that this was not the answer that his grandfather wanted, so he didn't continue.
Shen Wande thought about it, but hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Because, he could see that Shen Qingyuan called him and Shen Feng here today, mainly to teach Shen Feng.
He's just in passing.
After all, he is not the helmsman of the Shen family's generation, and Shen Feng is the future successor of the Shen family.
"Huang Yongqing is Qiao Gu's former protΓ©gΓ©, and he is also Qiao Gu's new flag bearer. The Qiao family has done a lot of things for that person named Chen Ye recently, ostensibly to repay the favor, but no one knows what the actual purpose is.
But to be sure, if tonight's events are not about individuals, but about a group, then the problem is serious. β
Shen Qingyuan spoke again.
Shen Wande and Shen Feng heard the sound outside the strings, and their expressions became extremely solemn.
"The greatest fear of humanity is the fear of the unknown. Unknown enemies are the most terrifying! β
Shen Qingyuan said word by word:
"Therefore, whether that Chen Ye is a clay pot or a jade artifact carefully crafted by someone else, we must not act rashly until we find out his true situation."
"But we can't do it ourselves, because that will surprise us and we won't be able to investigate the truth - the opponent will only give us the truth we want!"
When Shen Qingyuan said this, he paused for a moment before he said slowly:
"Because, a real chess player, never stands in front of the stage, only hides behind the scenes. This sentence applies to our opponents as well as to ourselves. β
"Grandpa, do you mean to let that Chen Ye expose his own details?"
Shen Feng was slightly stunned.
Shen Qingyuan sighed and said:
"If there is no external oppression, how can he take the initiative to expose?"
External force?
Shen Wande and Shen Feng's hearts moved.
"Break the balance of Jiangnan, drive the wolf and gobble the tiger, and let that Chen Ye and our opponent expose themselves!"
Shen Qingyuan said a word.
Chen Ye didn't know that he had been thrown by the Shen family to the mercy of the chessboard.
After he left Qinglong Villa, he was dragged by Zhu Ping'an to masturbate, and he didn't return to the villa of Wulin Yuan until now.
In the hall of the villa, her mother Fang Lan sat on the sofa, not watching TV or playing with her mobile phone, as if she was deliberately waiting for Chen Ye.
Chen Ye returned home and asked with some curiosity:
"Mom, why haven't you slept today?"
"Ono, I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?"
When Chen Ye heard this, he was stunned at first, and then realized that his mother had something to say to him, so he asked, "Mom, do you have something to tell me?" β
"Ono, you've been getting too close to that Zhu Yeqing these days, are you going to join the Qinglong Group and follow her to do things?" Fang Lan asked.
Chen Ye shook his head and said, "Mom, I don't have that idea. Something happened to Zhu Yeqing's side in the past two days, and I went over to help. β
"Ono, it's okay for you to help, but Mom hopes that you won't be too deeply involved with Zhu Yeqing, especially not to join her Qinglong Group." Fang Lan said again.
Chen Ye was stunned again: "Mom, why do you say that?" β
"Ono, Mom also heard about the situation of Zhu Yeqing and the Qinglong Group. Mom said this, not because she was worried that Miao Yan would have other ideas, but because she was worried about your personal safety. β
When Fang Lan said this, she paused, sighed and said:
"Ono, I never told you about your dad.
Today, I can say a few things to you.
When I was with your dad, we were already engaged. However, the marriage contract was not made by my own will, but by my grandfather, that is, your maternal grandfather. β
"You eloped with my dad for love?"
Chen Ye looked surprised.
"It's not."
Fang Lan shook her head lightly and said, "At the beginning, I was very resistant to the marriage contract that your grandfather set for me, so I went to the frontier for free treatment, and I met your father by chance. We had a short wonderful time together. β
Speaking of this, Fang Lan's eyes flashed with a light that Chen Ye had never seen before, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Chen Ye understood that that time was the best time in his mother's life, and it was also the best memory in her heart.
"After your father left, I found out that I was pregnant with you, so I ended the free clinic, returned to the East China Sea, and then broke with the Fang family and took you to Jiangzhou to find your Aunt Zhong."
Fang Lan returned to reality from the good memories and said again.
"Where's my dad?"
Chen Ye asked subconsciously.
"I don't know."
Fang Lan shook his head slightly, his expression darkened, and then said:
"I'm telling you this today, not mainly about your father, but about the man who has a marriage contract with me."
Speaking of this, Fang Lan's brows furrowed, and a deep uneasiness surged between her eyebrows:
"His name is Luo Hongdong, and he is the son of the president of the Dragon Society!"
Well?
When Chen Ye heard this, his pupils dilated instantly, and he was slightly startled in his heart.
Because, in the Heavenly Prison, he knew that the Dragon Society, a well-known society in the world, has a long history, and it is deeply rooted in both the Xia Kingdom and overseas!
The comparison between the Blue Dragon Club and the Dragon Club is like the difference between a chick and an eagle!
"Ono, the Dragon Society and the Blue Dragon Society are of the same nature. I'm worried that if you enter the Qinglong Group to do things, or get too close to Zhu Yeqing, you will be known by Luo Hongdong. β
Fang Lan voiced her concerns.
Chen Ye's heart moved, and he squinted slightly:
"Mom, what do you mean, if that Luo Hongdong knew about my existence, he would do something to me?"
"Back then, I ran away from marriage and became pregnant with you. I returned to the East China Sea and broke off my engagement with him, which made him lose face. In a fit of rage, he frantically retaliated against the Fang family, almost destroying the Fang family! β
Fang Lan gave the answer indirectly.
Luo Hongdong.
The prince of the Dragon Society?
If the other party wants to find death, then slap it to death!
Chen Ye thought in his heart.
He didn't take Luo Hongdong to heart at all, but was very curious about everything about his father!
