11. Ruan's family banquet
Restaurant, Nguyen Van Ho's home. Watch the babysitter put the delicacies on the table. Today, these are all made by Nguyen Wenhao specially asked the nanny to make for Ruan Xing's mother. Just as they were about to move their chopsticks, the doorbell outside the gate suddenly rang.
No one expected Shuhong's arrival. He is the youngest son of Nguyen Van Hung, but unlike his eldest brother Nguyen Shuyu, he was sent abroad to study at a young age like Ruan Xing. Perhaps because he is far away from the family, he rarely sees domineering arrogance in him. On the contrary, in dealing with friends and subordinates, Ruan Shuhong is very humble. At work, he can always give people a sense of steadfastness and diligence.
As the old saying goes, people are oriented. You can sometimes tell the good and bad of a person from the perspective of a person. Ruan Xing's mother once jokingly said that Shuhong's face was gentle and elegant. With him, it always makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Seeing Shuhong walk in, Ruan Xing's mother hurriedly asked him to sit down and eat together.
"Uncle, aunt, I came here this time to apologize to you for what my father said a few days ago." Shuhong said, "My father has a bad temper, and it is also for the sake of the family business that he does not choose to say anything for a while. β
There is a saying that hitting people does not slap people in the face, and exposing people does not expose shortcomings. In Nguyen Van Ho's office that day, Nguyen Van Hung's sentence that there was no descendant was indeed too hurtful. Shuhong, who was in the next room, felt uncomfortable after hearing it, not to mention Ruan Wenhao and his wife. Although as a child, he should not disobey his father, but he still has to distinguish between right and wrong.
Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen Van Ho said that the past should not be mentioned again. After all, after all, it is all a family, Ruan Xing's mother then said: "The eldest brother's temper is a little short-tempered, and we have all been used to it for so many years. β
Looking at his wife and hearing her words, Ruan Wenhao suddenly felt that he owed too much to the woman in front of him.
"Shuhong, how is the engagement between you and Miss Hu Jia?" Ruan Wenhao didn't want to dwell too much on the previous matter, so he diverted the topic and asked.
"The engagement has always been in charge of my eldest brother and dad. But it's almost ready, and the rest is just a few small details. β
Shuhong and Miss Hu, the couple knows something. They were classmates, and they had a good impression of each other. The combination of the two of them can be regarded as a match made in heaven.
"It's a big deal in life. In fact, things at work can be put aside and not in a hurry. There can be no mistakes in life's major events, and you must pay more attention. Ruan Wenhao's seemingly casual words were actually all kind reminders.
Ruan Wenhao has mentioned to Ruan Xing's mother more than once that he can always see the shadow of his young eldest brother in Ruan Shuyu. He was really worried that what had happened to them in the future would happen to the two brothers.
The reason why Ruan Wenhao reminded Shuhong so much is because to this day, he still remembers the tricks that his eldest brother played back then. At the beginning, Ruan Wenxiong was afraid that after Ruan Wenhao and Ruan Xing's mother were combined, his family's status would not be guaranteed, so he used no less means. If the misunderstanding hadn't been clarified in the end, it is likely that Nguyen Van Ho would have lost Ruan Xing's mother long ago.
Looking at Ruan Shuhong in front of him, Ruan Wenhao fell into deep thought for a while. How similar these brothers are to them back then.
From Ruan Wenhao's words just now, Ruan Xing's mother knew that he remembered the past again. In order not to make the atmosphere awkward, Ruan Xing's mother urged Shuhong to eat more quickly.
Eating is really one of the effective ways to get closer to each other.
During the meal, Shuhong said another purpose for his visit this time. The predicament that Redwood Industry is facing now, Shuhong knows. He had also seen the plan that his father had brought him about the two companies planning to work together. Shuhong knew it was impossible to say that there was no risk, but he thought that it was not dangerous enough for Nguyen Van Ho to oppose it so firmly.
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Nguyen Van Hao knew that this nephew of mine was very smart. It's just that he still has too little experience and lacks experience.
Doing business is not about reading, and many things can't just be written on paper.
"Nong's Group is actually digging a hole for us. Once we agree to this plan, it may not be enough for this big hole to fill in our entire Nguyen Group in the end. β
Hearing what his uncle said so seriously, looking at his solemn expression, Shuhong knew that he wasn't joking.
Ruan Wenhao looked at Shuhong's puzzled expression, and patiently explained to him. That plan, Nguyen Van Ho also seems to be more than three times. With such a huge capital investment, there is a little turmoil and changes, once the Nong's finds a loophole and an excuse to withdraw the investment, then Redwood Industry will only have two ways to go. The first was to sell the Redwood Industries, and the Nong family would pay for the annexation of it. The second way, relying on the advantages of almost monopolizing the domestic rice and agricultural product markets, is to hoard goods and raise prices and increase the economic efficiency of enterprises.
However, this seems to be the most feasible second way, once it is gone, it will make Redwood Industry completely fall into a situation from which it will never recover.
"You can't do anything that fishes with all your might. Most of Redwood's business is related to people's livelihood. The market is leveraged. When we put the price too high by one point, the price fed back to the market is likely to be five points, six points. Once we raise prices on a large scale, people's livelihood issues will inevitably cause turmoil. If the problems of people's livelihood are messed up, the consequences will be unimaginable. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be just an economic issue. It is likely to be a social problem, a political problem, and even worse, the beginning of another upheaval. β
I have to admit that what Ruan Wenhao said today was never considered by Shuhong.
Looking at Shuhong's expression, Ruan Wenhao also knew that he had listened. Immediately afterwards, he told Shuhong whether he had ever thought that only a few people in the company knew about the crisis of Redwood Industry. Why did Nong's Group send a cooperation plan at this time?
"Uncle, do you suspect that someone in our company is colluding with the Nong's Group?" Shuhong said.
"This plan is so well written, it definitely didn't take a day or two to write. They must have done a lot of homework to write in such detail. So I'm worried that the crisis we encountered this time was planned by the Nong's Group behind the scenes. To his nephew, Nguyen Van Hao expressed his long-standing worries.
The Nong's group is at odds with them, and this Shuhong knows it. For as long as he can remember, the Nong's Group has often targeted them. As for the origin of the grievances, he rarely heard the elders mention it. Especially his father, whenever he asks, he uncharacteristically avoids talking about it.
Just as Ruan Wenhao was considering whether to tell Shuhong the truth, Ruan Xing's phone called. She was also very happy to learn that Shuhong was also eating at home. From childhood to adulthood, this little brother still takes great care of himself.
After eating, he sent Shuhong away. In the bedroom, Ruan Xing's mother saw that Ruan Wenhao was a little abnormal today. She asked tentatively: "If it wasn't for Ah Xing's call just now, are you going to tell Shuhong the truth of the matter?" β
Ruan Wenhao nodded and said, "Now Ah Xing needs a helper." If it weren't for Nguyen Van Hung who was an obstacle, the young master of the peasant family, Nong Jinsong, would not have died. If Nong Jinsong doesn't die, the old man of the peasant family will not always think that we caused his son's death. That way, they won't have a grudge with the farmer. β
"But Nong Jinsong was betrayed, our suspicions about the eldest brother are just speculation after all." Ruan Xing's mother persuaded Ruan Wenhao, "Although Shuhong is a good child. But how can we make him believe without real evidence. β
At this time, Ruan Wenhao also regretted a little, regretting that he was too kind to this eldest brother at the beginning. Lately, he's often wondered if he had done something wrong in the first place.
On the other side of Shanghai, Huang Yan was sitting alone in the hotel answering Qin Le's phone. Everything he could think of, Huang Yan did. Now the only thing he can do is wait.
Qin Le told the situation in Beijing on the phone. Beijing is much better now than it was when they first arrived. According to Qin Le's words, the energy that came to inquire and stalk has passed. However, in the corridor of the hospital, he still noticed some suspicious people.
"Don't deal with them yet, and don't be careless." Huang Yan said.
"How's your investigation going?" Qin Le asked.
Huang Yan told Qin Le that he was already a little eyebrows. The next thing is to wait for Chen Asi to give him news. As soon as Huang Yan's words fell, there was a knock on the door. opened the door, and it turned out that Chen Ah Si asked people to bring the news they had found.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Yan took the address and the photo of the car thief and drove over directly.
The most dangerous places are often the safest places. When Huang Yan came to the place where the car thief lived according to the address, he had to admire the other party's mental quality. Because across the street from him is a police station.
I'm afraid that the average person really can't imagine that a car thief would dare to live opposite the police.
Huang Yan found a place to park the car first, and then went upstairs directly. It's just that Huang Yan came very unfortunate at this time. If he had come a few minutes earlier, he might have met the car thief. When he arrived, the car thief had just come downstairs to eat.
Back in the car, Huang asked Ice to hack into the surrounding surveillance system and use facial recognition technology to try to lock the other party's location. Five minutes later, according to the data, the man was only one street away from Huang Yan. At this time, he was sitting in the corner of the restaurant eating.
It's too late to think about it, and it's too late to change. Under Ice's guidance, Huang Yan chased after the other party's hotel.
A halal restaurant, the hotel is not big, but it has two floors. Walking into the hotel, Huang Yan saw at a glance that the man by the window on the second floor was the person he was looking for.
Huang Yan was not in a hurry, and went straight up the stairs to the man and sat down.
Seeing Huang Yan, the man was immediately taken aback. From his frightened eyes, Huang Yan felt as if he knew himself.
He got up to leave, but Huang Yan grabbed his right hand and dragged him back to his seat. The man tried twice, but when he couldn't break free, he gave up the struggle.
"You know me?" Huang Yan looked at the man and asked.
"You are a true nobleman and forgetful. I think that when a few of our brothers touched porcelain in front of your bar, they were beaten by you. I still have several brothers lying in bed. β
When he said this, Huang Yan recognized that he was one of the gangs that specialized in driving and touching porcelain in Beijing. At that time, they were secretly photographed by Lu Lingling, and they almost made the news.
"I didn't expect to leave Beijing, you changed your skills after coming to Shanghai!" Huang Yan said.
He looked at Huang Yan and could hear that he had something to say.
"What do you call it?" Huang Yan then asked.
"Gunnerβ" There was no more panic in his eyes at this point.
Huang Yan took out his mobile phone and put it in front of him. The photo shown on his phone is the same white Jinbei car that someone asked him to steal two days ago.
