I don’t know much about Wang Shang, that fat pig, but as for Lin Shenzi, I think it’s worth a try. A hundred million is no small amount, and I still have some on hand.
As for Wang Ju'en, I can guess her thoughts. One reason is to use Lin Shenzi to toy with you, but more importantly, she might want to help her father break into the Lake City market, which has been impossible for years!
Break into the Lake City market? What does that mean?
Old Zhao took a deep breath.
Back in the day, Ouyang Xiong, Guo Hao, and I shared Lake City. I controlled the western part, Ouyang Xiong took the east, and Guo Hao was in the city center. We had a good relationship at that time.
One day, Guo Hao suddenly vanished without a trace. Because of his disappearance, his people became chaotic, and the city center turned into a lawless land. Without Guo Hao acting as a mediator, my conflicts with Ouyang Xiong escalated until we were at each other’s throats!
While I was fighting for my life against Ouyang Xiong, Wang Shang had been eyeing the city center for a long time. When we received news about Guo Hao's disappearance, Ouyang Xiong and I reached a consensus to unite against Wang Shang and push him out of Lake City, not allowing him to establish any business here.
As society progressed and the country developed, we couldn’t act recklessly like before. He has now set his sights on this unclaimed territory; it seems that old bastard has wanted to do this for a long time. I didn’t expect him to endure for so many years without giving up.
Hearing this made me feel as if I had fallen into a deep abyss. I didn’t realize Old Zhao had such a past; compared to him, I felt like an infant just learning to speak—so insignificant.
I have a question: even if Wang Shang establishes his business in Lake City, what’s the big deal? Isn’t he just another physical merchant?
Unexpectedly, my words drew a cold laugh from Old Zhao.
What do you know? If he were just an ordinary merchant, it wouldn’t matter. But he transformed from washing dishes into the king of physical stores in Guangdong Province within a year! He monopolized the entire physical retail business in Guangdong Province.
Those small vendors either had to join him or change their line of work. Achieving this level is not as simple as you think. If he really enters Lake City, then there probably won’t be any place left for me and Ouyang Xiong!
It’s simple—too simple. I realized how heavy the burden on Old Zhao’s shoulders was, which strengthened my resolve even more.
Alright then, it’s settled. Tomorrow I’ll send someone to investigate Lin Shenzi’s family business situation and give you an answer the day after. Any other questions?
Yes! Of course there are! I want to apply to Lakeside University, and once I get into college, I want to move out and live alone.
What? No way! That decision is out of the question! How can you live alone?
Ke Hong stood up abruptly upon hearing my desire to move out and quickly rejected it.
You’re like a piece of meat that fell off from me; I’ve watched you grow up without leaving my side for even a day! How can Ke Hong accept that you want to live alone now?
Mom...
I knew Ke Hong would never agree to my request, but I’m already an adult; I need to venture out on my own! If Old Zhao can do it, why can’t I?
No way! Absolutely not! Ke Hong immediately shot down my idea without giving me any room for negotiation.
Just when I thought there was no hope left, Old Zhao spoke up:
Alright, I’ll agree to it. You can go ahead; I have a flat available—a spacious one—not as big as our home but decent enough and not too far from here—about ten minutes away.
You should be fine living alone. The property deed is in your name, and the furniture and appliances are all set. Tomorrow, I'll go with your mother to take a look, and then I'll give you the keys.
Old Zhao rarely makes decisions. Once he speaks up, you can be sure that the matter is practically settled.
In an instant, I jumped up from the sofa. Old Zhao is so cool!
I was ecstatic, but Ke Hong turned red with anger and shouted, "Zhao Changsheng! What do you think you're doing?"
Ke Hong rarely calls Old Zhao by his full name, but when she does, it means she's about to explode! That sharp reprimand made me quickly shrink back into the sofa.
Now that our son is grown, he needs to go out and explore on his own. Staying at home all the time isn’t right.
After saying this, Old Zhao quickly pulled Ke Hong aside and whispered, "Don't worry, I have people in that building. He won't be in any danger."
"Don't think I don't know what you're planning! If anything happens to our son, we won't be together anymore!"
"Don't worry, my dear. Nothing will happen."
They murmured to each other for a while before returning. "Is it done? If it's done, then we should get back to what we were doing."
"Hey, hey, hey! There's still more! I want to gradually take over your responsibilities."
