#199 - Emperor Ruyan is here to cause trouble?

Chapter 199: Emperor Ruyan is Looking for Trouble?

That night.

Zhao Zheng was preparing to go to the cafeteria for dinner when he suddenly received a call from Chairman Song.

"Uncle Song?"

"It's me. You brat, haven't eaten yet? Come over and have a drink with me."

Zhao Zheng knew that Chairman Song definitely had something to say to him, so he readily agreed.

Arriving at the agreed-upon restaurant.

Inside the private room.

There was only Chairman Song.

Clearly, Chairman Song did have something on his mind.

He personally poured Zhao Zheng a glass of wine and said, "Haitang has told me everything about why she got good grades this time… This glass is my way of thanking you for taking care of Haitang in the Spirit Realm."

"You're too kind, Uncle Song. Taking care of Haitang is what I should do… I'll finish this, please feel free."

Zhao Zheng drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Chairman Song also finished his drink in one gulp, then put food on Zhao Zheng's plate:

"Eat more!"

After a few rounds of drinks.

Chairman Song asked, "What are your plans for the holidays?"

Zhao Zheng didn't know why Chairman Song suddenly asked this, so he truthfully said, "I plan to go home and take a look first."

Chairman Song nodded, then suddenly said, "It just so happens that I received news that your father's company seems to have run into some problems. It's good for you to go back and take a look."

Zhao Zheng was immediately shocked: "Uncle Song, what happened to my father's company?"

He remembered that during the last phone call, his father said happily that the company was thriving and that he would become a real local tyrant rich second generation in the future.

It hasn't been long, how could something have happened?

"I'm not very clear about the specifics."

Chairman Song said, "After I was transferred, I specifically greeted my former subordinates and asked them to pay attention to your father's company. I only just found out about the problems with your father's company… It is said that someone has set their sights on it."

Zhao Zheng's face darkened upon hearing this!

"Go back and take a look first, and ask what's going on." Chairman Song reminded, "After you figure it out, don't be reckless, you can ask me first. If it's an official matter, I might be able to help solve it!"

This wasn't Chairman Song bragging.

The power of a provincial association chairman is no joke.

"I understand, Uncle Song."

…

The next day.

Around ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Zheng successfully arrived at Luan City Station, then got into a taxi and went straight to his home.

Originally, the journey home should have been a happy one.

After all, he was about to return to a familiar environment and see his closest relatives…

But Zhao Zheng always frowned, with a heavy heart.

Soon.

The taxi arrived at the entrance of the residential area and stopped. Zhao Zheng paid the money and got out of the car.

He didn't tell his parents when he came back.

Mainly because, if he said he was coming back, his parents might not agree, because there was still a reward order for him on the external network…

So, Zhao Zheng didn't say anything and came back directly.

After entering the residential area, he came to his house familiarly, entered the yard door password, and easily entered the yard.

The entrance door was open.

Indicating that someone was at home.

Zhao Zheng was preparing to enter the house.

However, when he walked to the door, he stopped.

Because the sound coming from the living room inside the house attracted his attention:

"…Third brother, I said long ago, don't start a company before you find a backer, you didn't believe me, now… Alas!"

This voice… seemed to be his uncle's voice.

"Don't be an armchair strategist here!" The old man's voice rang out, reprimanding his eldest son, then said to Zhao Chenghua, "Chenghua, how many shares do they want?"

Zhao Chenghua: "51%!"

Uncle: "Good, good, good, they want a controlling stake as soon as they come up, the next step is to kick our Zhao family out, right? Why not just give the company to them."

"Shut up!" The old man scolded, then asked, "How much are they willing to invest?"

Zhao Chenghua: "…100,000!"

Hearing this number, the living room suddenly fell silent.

Then, the angry voice of the fourth uncle rang out: "100,000? What's the difference between this and robbery? Damn it, they're just robbers!!"

Zhao Zheng, who was outside the house, immediately darkened his face when he heard this.

He had almost figured out what was going on.

Indeed, as Chairman Song said, someone had set their sights on his father's company and wanted to take it by force!

He remembered that when he called home last time, he asked about his father's company. It was said that the company's first technology product had been launched and caused quite a stir in the technology circle. His father's company was also favored by many people.

Although it is still operating at a loss, it has great potential and is about to start angel round financing, and is being watched by many investment banks. The current external valuation is 2 billion!

Even if there is some exaggeration in the valuation of 2 billion, it is not something that can be acquired with 51% of the shares for a mere 100,000 yuan.

"Chenghua, agree to them!"

The old man's voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Chenghua: "Dad?"

His tone was full of astonishment and incomprehension.

Uncle said anxiously: "How can we agree to this kind of robbery?"

The old man snorted coldly: "An arm can't twist a thigh, what can we do if we don't agree? It may be difficult for them to support the same company, but if they want to destroy Chenghua's company, there are several ways!"

As soon as these words came out, the brothers were speechless.

The old man said to Zhao Chenghua again: "Agree to them, but you must collect all the evidence and information, and try to keep the core technology in your own hands, and then wait!"

Uncle couldn't help but ask: "Wait for what?"

Old man: "Wait for Zhao Zheng to grow up! Don't they like to bully others? I believe that the humiliation we suffer today, Zhao Zheng will get it back for us in the future!!"

As soon as these words came out.

The living room fell silent again.

Zhao Zheng felt that he couldn't eavesdrop any longer.

Thus.

He took a few steps back, pretending that he had just arrived, and then shouted loudly: "Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

While shouting, he walked towards the living room.

When he arrived at the living room and saw Grandpa, Uncle and others, Zhao Zheng deliberately showed a surprised expression.

"Huh? Grandpa, Uncle, Fourth Uncle, you are all at my house!"

Zhao Chenghua hurriedly asked: "Why did you suddenly come back, brat? Didn't you call home?"

Zhao Zheng said with a smile: "Didn't I want to give you a surprise!"

"Zhengzi is back?" Uncle said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, you've grown so tall, I almost didn't recognize you."

Fourth Uncle: "This kid has indeed changed a lot!"

The old man had a smile on his face, and waved to Zhao Zheng: "Good grandson, come here quickly."

Hearing this, Zhao Zheng immediately put down his luggage and quickly came to the old man's side.

"Grandpa, I'm back to see you. How is your health?"

"I'm very well!"

The old man looked Zhao Zheng up and down, and found that Zhao Zheng was becoming more and more heroic, and his aura was overwhelming, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, getting more and more energetic."

Zhao Chenghua said from the side, "Since Zhengzi is back... Dad, Big Brother, Fourth Brother, why don't we have a drink at my place for lunch! I'll have Wenli cook a few more dishes."

"That's right."

Zhao Zheng asked, "Where's Mom?"

"She went to buy groceries."

......

After lunch.

Zhao Zheng took the initiative to volunteer to take the old man back.

The old man now loves Zhao Zheng more and more, so he naturally happily agreed.

He also wanted to chat with Zhao Zheng and ask his good grandson about his current strength progress.

A moment later.

Arriving at the old man's house, the old man specifically asked the nanny to get off work early and go home.

After the nanny left, only the grandfather and grandson were left in the house.

The old man asked with a smile, "You came back suddenly, did you get some news?"

It is said that the older one gets, the wiser one becomes, this saying is indeed true.

Zhao Zheng nodded, "I originally planned to come back in the afternoon, but I did hear some things, so I temporarily changed my ticket and came back early."

Without waiting for the old man to inquire, Zhao Zheng took the initiative and said, "Did Chairman Song tell me that my dad's company is being targeted?"

"Oh?"

The old man asked curiously, "How would that kid named Song tell you this? Doesn't he dislike you?"

To the old man, Zhao Zheng naturally didn't need to hide anything.

"Last time in the National Spiritual Realm, I won the championship. Chairman Song was also in the team and chose to save his memory.

So, he already fully knows my secret and also knows that his daughter's success today is all thanks to me, so he has changed his attitude towards me."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately grasped the main point of these words, and a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Are you saying that you won the championship in the last National Spiritual Realm, not the Gu family girl?"

"Yes!"

Zhao Zheng nodded and said frankly, "Grandpa, in fact, my current strength is already top-notch, even among seventh-order powerhouses."

The old man stood up abruptly.

He stared at Zhao Zheng for a few moments, then suddenly laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, good! Good! You truly are the Qilin child of my Zhao family! You really didn't let me down!"

"Grandpa, take it easy, don't get too excited!"

Zhao Zheng quickly helped the old man sit down and said, "You have to take care of your health, I still want you to see with your own eyes the day I become invincible!"

The old man loved to hear these words, and immediately said with a smile, "Good, good, good... I'll wait for that day to come."

After the old man's emotions calmed down a bit, Zhao Zheng then asked, "Grandpa, who exactly is targeting my dad's company?"

"Hmph!"

Mentioning those people, the old man became angry and said in a cold voice, "Just a bunch of dog things bullying others with their power..."

Afterward.

The old man told Zhao Zheng the whole story.

If Zhao Zheng was just an ordinary person, the old man definitely wouldn't have told him these things, because it would be useless to say them.

But the current Zhao Zheng is different...

After listening to the old man's narration, Zhao Zheng finally understood what was going on.

The matter was very simple. Zhao Zheng's father and his partner developed a new type of material that could be used in multiple fields and had great future prospects, which aroused the covetousness of greedy people who wanted to bully others and seize it by trickery!

Zhao Zheng's father, Zhao Chenghua, is actually just an ordinary academic genius.

With his talent, independent research and development would definitely not lead to any new materials!

The main credit for developing the new material still goes to the old man.

It was the old man who, when he was young, obtained a very special extraordinary item in a technology-based spiritual realm!

It was a one-time use USB drive!

At that time, the old man knew that he wouldn't go far in the spiritual realm, so he planned to make good use of the USB drive and copy some scientific research data back in the spiritual realm world.

This was the wealth the old man left for his descendants.

After bringing the USB drive back, the old man gave the USB drive to Zhao Chenghua...

It's not that the old man was biased.

But among his four sons, Zhao Chenghua had the best academic performance!

Zhao Chenghua originally studied materials science. With the help of the old man's scientific research materials, and after years of analysis and research, he finally made a name for himself and was preparing to show off his skills and create a material company with a market value of hundreds of billions!

Unexpectedly, just as he started his business, he was hit with a head-on blow!

After listening, Zhao Zheng asked with a calm face, "Grandpa, the other party dares to do this, their background must be not small, right? What's their background?"

The old man didn't answer, but said, "Good grandson, listen to Grandpa, don't worry about this matter for now, focus on improving your strength. When you are strong enough, they will definitely have to spit out what they have swallowed, and they will have to spit it out twice!"

Zhao Zheng shook his head, refuting the old man for the first time.

"Grandpa, I can afford to wait, but my dad can't! You should know that his temper is a bit stubborn. He's not the kind of person who can bend and stretch! I'm just afraid that this blow will be too great for him, and he will become discouraged from now on, which would be troublesome."

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned.

Of course, he knew the temperaments of his sons, and he was actually worried about this point!

"Also, Grandpa, I think you should change some of your past ideas."

Zhao Zheng said with a smile, "Your grandson, me, is very strong now! Very strong! When we encounter this kind of thing, we don't need to swallow our anger and watch people's faces at all!"

"As long as no one can get the Kryptonian bloodline card from the Holy Land when it opens next month, then I don't need to continue hiding my strength!

At that time, the higher-ups will definitely pay high attention to me, and Song Haitang is the best example of this."

"So, you can say it with confidence."

After listening to these words.

The old man laughed heartily!

"Good!"

The old man said, "The person who came forward is a girl named 'Liu Ruyan'. Her influence in the officialdom seems to be not small.

The various troubles your dad's company has been encountering recently are all from officialdom harassment and review... I guess this girl may have some connection with the Liu family of the Tai Shang Association, but I'm not very clear about the others."

Hearing the name "Liu Ruyan", Zhao Zheng was shocked, thinking he had encountered the Great Emperor Ruyan!

The Great Emperor Ruyan is an existence that shakes the heavens, so terrifying!

However, she shouldn't exist here...

He nodded and said, "I know."

Then, Zhao Zheng directly dialed Chairman Song's phone in front of the old man.

"Uncle Song, am I disturbing your lunch break?"

"No!"

On the other end of the phone, Chairman Song asked with a smile, "How is it? Do you have any clues about the family's affairs?"

"Yes, I still need to trouble Uncle Song to help me investigate a woman named 'Liu Ruyan'!"

"Liu Ruyan?"

Chairman Song on the other end of the phone immediately said, "I've heard this name... Don't worry, I'll ask about it for you."

"Thank you, Uncle Song."
