266: Borrowing Money

The next day, Wang Cheng went to find Wang Ning'an. Chu Yifeng wanted to go with him, but Charlie happened to be looking for him for business matters, so he had to stay at the villa to video chat with Charlie.

After Wang Cheng drove to Wang Ning’an’s apartment, he ran into his first aunt and his eldest cousin who happened to be coming downstairs. Ever since his eldest cousin was discharged from the hospital, his aunt would take him around the neighborhood every morning. He Ping was different now, and was able to absorb most new knowledge.

"First auntie, big cousin, where are you going today?" Wang Cheng took the initiative to go to them.

"It's Chengcheng, have you come to see your eldest brother?" Guan Meifang looped her arm through her son’s arm, smiling bigger and brighter than before.

He Ping, who stood quietly at the side, had a faint smile on his face. Although he acted the same before, he no longer gave a foolish, naive feeling to others. His smile was now clear and refreshing. He originally looked pretty good; though he didn’t have Wang Cheng or Wang Ning’an's handsome features, he had a clear and delicate aura, and his facial features were relatively soft.

Wang Cheng couldn't help but glance at him. The silent He Ping had quite a special temperament. “Oh right, first auntie, is my brother out of bed yet?”

"He’s up. You can go up to meet him, Pingping and I are going to the mall." Guan Meifang wanted to buy some new clothes for her son. Wang Ning’an had tried to give her money before, but she couldn’t accept it. She hadn’t paid a single penny for the cost of the surgery, so how could she still use his money at ease now?

Wang Cheng watched them leave before heading up.

When Wang Ning’an opened the door for him, he was still holding his phone in one hand. Because he had suddenly asked for leave and did not arrive at work, Chairman Yu told his assistant to call him and ask about the situation. Naturally, Wang Ning’an would not tell them the truth. He just said he was a bit tired from working overtime, and wanted to take a two-day vacation.

His tone was so flat that the assistant grew a little stunned. When he wanted to inquire more, Wang Ningan hung up on the call. The assistant quickly told the chairman that Wang Ningan said he was tired from working overtime these days. However, he had only been working overtime for three days. Previously, he hadn’t mentioned being tired after working overtime for a month. Maybe something had suddenly happened to him this time.

Chairman Yu also knew this was strange, and asked his assistant to find Wang Ning’an’s assistant, Peng Yang. He had to inquire for a bit before he learned what was going on. The bad habits of that bald man had long been well-known in their industry. The bald man was indeed a little wealthy, which was why he dared to act on his business partners. However, on one hand was his subordinate and on the other was his son. In the end, he chose to favor his son. If Wang Ning’an wanted to take a leave, he would let him take a leave. He would be back sooner or later, anyway.

Wang Ning'an let Wang Cheng go to the living room before going to the kitchen to get a pot of water. The brothers solemnly brewed the pot of tea. Wang Cheng pretended to taste the tea, but in reality, didn’t drink anything. He grabbed a melon seed and cracked it open with his teeth.

"Brother, what I’m telling you can’t be told to others for the time being. It's about our father. I didn't just randomly visit Shanhai City a few days ago. In fact, our father had suddenly called me back because something happened with our eldest uncle’s family..." Wang Cheng tried to keep the long story short.

Wang Ning'an asked, "Haven’t you finished dealing with this matter? Or are they still pestering our parents?"

"That's not the case," Wang Cheng waved his hand. "The truth is, aiyah... I suspect that our father is not Granny Wang's biological son. I later bluffed by saying this, and her reaction was very strange, as if I had told the truth. I’ve sent someone to investigate this, but I’ve received no news yet."

Wang Ning'an was startled, then frowned after a moment. "Are you really sure?"

Wang Cheng nodded, "Although I have no evidence for it, I am pretty sure that our father is really not Granny Wang's biological son, and the deceased Old Village Chief Wang is very likely to have known the truth. I think reaching his family will provide a breakthrough. Don’t worry, though I’ve sent someone to investigate, I haven’t told our parents about this. I want to wait until evidence is found."

"This incident will be a big blow to our father. It's the correct decision to hide it from him for the time being. However, we should find an opportunity to tell our mother and give her a precaution. That way, even if this matter is exposed in the future, we can be rest assured since our mother is at our father’s side."

"Big brother, you are quite thoughtful. That's fine then, I'll find a time to talk to our mother." Wang Cheng nodded and spat out the melon seed’s shell.

Wang Ning'an knew that he was capable of handling this, so he was rest assured in leaving it to him. "By the way, Chengcheng, do you still have extra money on hand?"

"Big brother, did you want to borrow money? Sure, how much did you want to borrow?" Of course Wang Cheng had spare money at hand. The Dongwang Group was completely his property now that there was no Sun family to obstruct him. Although the money he earned was not as much as he made in the Zhou Group, who else owned a ready-made company like he did?

Wang Ning’an made a gesture.

Wang Cheng agreed without another word. Although he still had to pay back Chu Yifeng's money from some time ago, Chu Yifeng was not in a hurry to ask for the repayment, so he was able to take his time.

He agreed so quickly that Wang Ning'an became a little helpless. "Shouldn’t you ask me why I want to borrow the money?"

"Why should I ask. I believe in you, no matter what you want to do with it, I will support you." Wang Cheng put the melon seeds back on the plate and reached out to pat his shoulder.

Wang Ning'an immediately moved back, "Don't touch me, your hands are too dirty."

Wang Cheng helplessly clapped his hands. "You are too ruthless, it’s just a little dirty. Is your obsession with cleanliness getting more and more serious?" He had almost forgotten that his elder brother had OCD.

Suppressing a company did not necessarily require an additional person to step in.

Wang Cheng slowly came to comprehend something. The key in business was having someone on top, then everyone else was easier to handle. He believed that if Shenghui Group was able to develop to such a large scale, they definitely left someone to handle things. So, he decided to go knock down such a person first.

The bald man was called Chen Zhong, he was the boss of Wansheng Enterprise. When he was young, he had been fortunate and was appointed as chairman of Wansheng Enterprise; he was a man that many men wanted to be. He had been handsome, so the only daughter of the previous chairman fancied him, and the two later married.

On the surface, Chen Zhong and his wife were very affectionate. In reality, he only fancied his wife’s property. Since he wasn’t quite brave enough, he didn’t dare take advantage of her while his father-in-law was still alive. However, over ten years ago, his father-in-law and his wife both died in a plane crash when they travelled abroad. The lucky Chen Zhong inherited Wansheng Enterprise as a whole.

He was so lucky that the gods seemed to be helping him. Chen Zhong was probably the luckiest man in the world.

Since he wasn’t restrained by anyone, Chen Zhong began to indulge in pleasure. He embraced lovers left and right every day. Men and women were both welcome. In just over ten years, he turned from a once handsome man into a fat bald man. Although Chen Zhong was lustful, he did have some business skills. Wansheng was growing better and better under his management.

Wang Cheng looked through his information, and found that although this man had some business acumen, he was still quite wicked and committed too many crimes.

He also invested in movies and TV shows in the entertainment industry, and in almost all of them, he was involved with an actress or actor. Not only that, Wang Cheng also discovered that several Yazhi artists had relationships with this person during the time that Cen Xi ruled. With the company's lack of resources, some artists couldn't find a way out in the company and went to find opportunities for themselves. Wansheng's boss’s love for beauties was no secret in the industry, so many artists came to him.

Chen Zhong was also generous. After an artist accompanied him on the bed, he gave the other party an opportunity. Some artists relied on him to smoothly remove themselves from Yazhi.

Speaking of Cen Xi, it seems that ever since the company suppressed him, they hadn’t heard or seen him.

After putting away the data, Wang Cheng called his brother.

Zheng Jingen was not surprised when he received his call, after all, he had also been present last night.

“Brother……"

"Do you want me to help?"

Wang Cheng said with joy: "As expected of my brother, you’re always aware of what’s going on. Could you help me get Chen Zhong, the boss of Wansheng Enterprise? He was the man who tried to bully my elder brother last night."

"No need to flatter me. I've heard of this man, he has connections with some officials, but it's not difficult to get him." Zheng Jingen said. He was such a bad person, it really was not difficult to deal with him. No one had knocked him down before only because it would be unnecessary and unprofitable.

"Thank you brother, I’ll be waiting for your good news."

"Okay, just leave this matter to me, and I will give you a satisfactory answer. If you have time, go to the Zhou Group and take a look. Something went wrong in the company, so Grandpa must be very angry now. It seems that you’ve taken over Yazhi well, I have seen the magazines issued by Fashion Pioneer. The artist you had selected was very good and has the appearance of a superstar. Put in a little more effort and you might make our grandpa happy."

The response was great after the release of Fashion Pioneer; however, He Zihuan became popular overseas before becoming popular in China.

Wang Cheng was not surprised that he would know about the Zhou Group and Yazhi. When he heard his words, he agreed. Pan Zhihai was watching Yazhi, so he didn’t need to go there every day, and he only needed to wait for news.

"Come back for a meal when you have the time. Grandpa has talked about you several times, and he’s always praising the health boxing set you taught him last time. He’s making us do it too." Only a few juniors resisted him at this point.

"Then you guys should practice it, too. Health boxing is great for your body. In practicing, perseverance is victory." After Wang Cheng finished teaching Old Man Chu, he was afraid of his own grandfather misunderstanding this technique. He went back to the Zheng house one day, and facts proved that his intuition was correct. At that time, his grandpa said that this boxing technique was similar to the one that his own grandpa had practiced. Wang Cheng was shocked.

Zheng Jingen smiled and said, "Mother knew that you taught this to Grandpa, so she pulled our father and I to get up early in the morning to practice it as well. If Jingxue didn't live at school, she would also like Jingxue to practice it together with us."

After finishing the call with him, Wang Cheng took out the business card that he had kept for a while from his pocket, which he had brought from that foolish private detective. Now this business card finally came in handy. After dialing the phone number on it, a female voice sounded.
