Chapter 19 The changing situation
The day after Gu Jiusi left, the headlines of major media and magazines were occupied by an explosive news.
Several senior executives of Lisheng Group were taken away by relevant departments for questioning.
A few days later, Lisheng Group was seized.
Every company looks glamorous and glorious, but it can't help but check it carefully. The larger the company, the more it is. Once it is investigated, it will be a problem. What's more, there is news that Li Sheng offended the superiors, and the superiors specifically asked for strict requirements.
Chen Muyun and Chen Muzhao each lost several generals. Chen Mubai kicked an irrelevant person out to go out for a formality. Chen Mingmo looked calm and calm, but he felt a little uncomfortable. All this seemed to be different from what he expected at the time.
I heard that Chen Muyun was scolded by Dong Minghui and was so angry that Chen Muzhao became ill, while Chen Mubai lost his temper all day long.
The three of them are originally acting and are good at bluffing. Now they can't tell who is true or who is fake.
After a few days, the weather gradually became clearer. In the afternoon, Chen Mingmo sat behind the desk, basking in the sun, closed his eyes to rest. Meng Yinian added him a glass of water, and he slowly opened his eyes.
At the beginning, he realized that someone was manipulating Lisheng, but he didn't know which side this force came from, Chen Mubai, Chen Muzhao, or the Dong family?
No matter which side, he had already left his control, which was something he could not tolerate, so he had to destroy Lisheng and quickly.
But it seemed that someone was moving faster than him. Tan Sen's sudden resignation and going abroad, and the open and secret struggles of the three forces made him hesitate. He thought Tan Sen would be a breakthrough that would allow him to know who was manipulating behind the scenes. His purpose was not only to destroy Lisheng, but also to know who the hand behind him. The breakthrough suddenly disappeared, and all the suspects were involved, making him increasingly unable to see clearly. He planned to observe and observe again, but he did not expect that this observation seemed to have made some people take advantage of the loopholes.
His actions seemed to have been frustrated by all three parties, but he always felt that someone had taken advantage of it. Who is this party? And Gu Jiusi, what did she say to him when she went to see Chen Muzhao?
Compared to Chen Muzhao and Gu Jiusi, he would rather ask the latter. Not to mention whether Chen Muzhao would tell him, even if Chen Muzhao was willing to say it, how authentic is it? On the other hand, it might be used by Chen Muzhao.
He is getting older, and he feels more and more tired of such thankless things.
Chen Mingmo couldn't hide his tired face and took a sip of tea and spoke weakly, "Yinian, do you think, am I old?"
Meng Yinian stood aside with his eyebrows down and said, "How could it be? You are too tired recently, just take a rest."
Chen Mingmo smiled. He was tired and could not get better by rest. Meng Yinian also knew this truth, but he could only advise him to relax.
"How many years have you been with me?"
Meng Yinian replied without thinking, "It's been almost thirty years."
Chen Mingmo turned his head and looked out the window and sighed, "It's been thirty years in a flash. How many thirty years can you have in your life? You can't help but not accept old age."
Meng Yinian was also a little sad, "If my sister's child is still here, she will be thirty years old after the New Year."
Chen Mingmo was so excited that he didn't say anything for a long time.
Meng Yinian was a little regretful after saying this and hurriedly said, "It was me who was a traitor. I will not say such words again in the future."
Chen Mingmo waved his hand and closed his eyes, "You are right, I'm sorry for your sister and...our children."
Meng Yinian didn't seem to want to mention it more, "By the way, Gu Jiusi is not here recently, the reporter may not be able to find a suitable person. I sent the photos here. Do you want to take a look?"
Chen Mingmo took it and looked at a few pictures and threw it aside, "This child is getting more and more messy!"
Meng Yinian looked at Chen Mubai and Meng Lai in the photo, "Miss Meng is indeed like her."
Chen Mingmo knew who "she" was in Meng Yinian's mouth, and spoke in displeasure, "It's just that she looks a little like, and the others... are not as good as her at all."
Meng Yinian paused, "Then why do you have to fight against her and Qiao Jiang's family? Even though she knew that she was framed by the Qiao family's youngest daughter and the Jiang family's prospective daughter-in-law, these two families should not be underestimated. What's more, it's not good to have the third young master and her... it's always a bad thing to say."
"I kept her just to see that face. When I was old, I would always remember what happened before, and it would be okay to see it. As for Mu Bai, Chen Mingmo narrowed his eyes, "He looked down on this woman, just to take revenge on me."
Meng Yinian nodded and stopped talking.
Chen Mingmo rubbed his temples, "You can do this. The lesson is, don't let outsiders see it. I am becoming more and more powerless now, and maybe it's time to give way to these young people."
Meng Yinian was a little surprised, "Have you thought about it?"
Chen Mingmo suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of majesty, and he could no longer see his exhausted appearance just now. After a while, he shook his head and waved his hand. Meng Yinian quickly withdrew from the study.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines in along the floor-to-ceiling windows and then disappears little by little.
Chen Mubai sat quietly on the sofa and watched the news reports about Lisheng. He used Lisheng to protect himself and pulled several opponents to dismount. He won beautifully in this battle no matter how he looked at it. However, the leader who has been standing in the industry for many years was defeated. He supported him and pushed it to his current fate. Chen Mubai couldn't tell what he was feeling.
I saw him building a tall building, he was watching him entertaining guests, and he was watching his building collapse.
Chen Mubai turned off the TV and walked to the balcony to watch it. He watched the sunset disappear little by little and darkness surged up little by little. After a long time, he curled his lips and smiled.
Chen Jingkang quietly pushed the door and came in, "Young master, you have everything done. He wants to see you, will you see you?"
Chen Mubai turned around, the lights were not turned on in the room, and the smile on his face had long disappeared, replaced by dimness and unclearity, and even his tone was a little elusive, "See, why not see?"
Chen Jingkang asked after a while, "Young Master, why did you expose it at this time? If you expose this one, he will send new ones over. We will also spend time and effort to guard against new ones."
Chen Mubai glared at him, "So much nonsense! Didn't you eat supper?"
Chen Jingkang shrank his head and whispered to close the door, "I've eaten it... Sister Gu is not here, I've eaten all her portion... I'm really overwhelmed me..."
Chen Jingkang's words were not unreasonable. He had always known who the person Chen Muzhao arranged around him, and had never acted. He knew that besides this one, there would be another one, but judging from the current situation... he could only sacrifice.
Soon someone knocked on the door and stood in front of Chen Mubai.
Chen Mubai sat lazily behind the desk and looked at him and said lightly, "Luan Ning, you are twenty-five years old this year. Your father Luo Wenlin and Chen Muzhao's father grew up together. When something happened to Chen Muzhao's father, your father was gone. Since then, you have been with Chen Muzhao. No one knows about this. Until three years ago, Chen Muzhao sent you to me as an insider. You would go out to meet Chen Muzhao once every Tuesday from 7 to 9 pm. I'm right? What's wrong? Remind me that I don't have a good memory recently."
Luo Ning felt that he had always been cautious and didn't know when he was showing his strength. When facing Chen Mubai, he could only admit defeat. "No more, I was convinced by the fall of Mr. Mu, but I still have a few words to say."
Chen Mubai was very patient, "Say."
Luo Ning seemed to have made a great decision, "It was my fault before, but Young Master Zhao's health is getting worse day by day, and his methods and strategies are much worse than you. I want to follow you in the future."
Chen Jingkang, who had been standing next to him, looked extremely disdainful. He never had any good feelings for anyone who threatened his status. It was Gu Jiusi before, but now it is Luo Ning.
Chen Mubai nodded thoughtfully, "Let me see your sincerity."
Luo Ning took out a check, "This was found in Gu Jiusi's room. Mr. Mu can see whose handwriting is on it. Maybe Mr. Mu believed in the wrong person."
Chen Mubai glanced at it and found that the signature on the check was from Chen Muzhao, and there would be no fakes, and the amount on the check was surprisingly large.
Chen Mubai then smiled unidentifiedly on his lips, pointed at his chin with one hand and spoke casually, "Do you want to tell me that Gu Jiusi is working with Chen Muzhao?"
Luo Ning stopped talking, "Mu Shao is a smart man, so he naturally understands the pros and cons."
For a moment, Chen Mubai's eyes were bright and changed, and his mind was unpredictable.
After a long time, Chen Mubai looked at Luo Ning with a calm expression, "It's not impossible to continue to follow me, but... you should know the sings beside Chen Muzhao, right?"
Luo Ning paused and could not say a word.
"But..." Chen Mubai suddenly stopped halfway, as if he had encountered a very difficult problem. He frowned and said again, "It's easy to do anything else. At most, it's just like Qian Chang. But I remember you are literate, but it's a pity that you can't save your hands."
Luo Ning suddenly looked up at Chen Mubai with disbelief.
Chen Mubai looked at him calmly, with a gentle tone, "Don't speak anymore? It seems that you are not as cruel as your master. Didn't he tell you to come and ask you to do whatever you want? Isn't it just a matter of ears, tongues and hands? You can't do it anymore? Do you think the inner responsibilities are so easy to do?"
Luo Ning also saw that Chen Mubai was not going to accept him, so he looked elsewhere with a grudge, a little unwilling, "It's said that Mr. Mu is cruel and ruthless, and he is really worthy of his reputation."
Chen Mubai never cared about what others said to him, "I gave you the opportunity. If you are willing to ruin your ears, tongue and hands, you can follow me in the future. I will pretend that what happened before has never happened, it depends on whether you are willing to do so."
