Quick Travel: From Beginner to Master

Chapter 217 The Zhang Family’s Counterattack 25

On the day of returning to the provincial capital, Chunya was the driver.

Luo Zhaodi had a lot of private conversations with her parents last night. Now she was a little emotional and was sitting in the back seat thinking about something.

Everything was going well in her parents' family, and the relationship between her younger brother and sister-in-law was harmonious. They also had their own jobs in the city. At the dinner table, they brought up old matters again and said that they would take the two elders to live there in a few days.

He is now six or seventy years old, and his children are no longer around. He continues to live in the village. If something goes wrong, it is no joke.

But the parents refused to do so, fearing that they would cause trouble to their children. In the end, it was the grandchildren who came together to coax and persuade them, and finally convinced them.

Wu Zhaodi looked on, her chest feeling a little tight for some reason.

Growing up, her parents gave her too many things. In traditional concepts, people generally believe that in a family with both sons and daughters, the son should take the initiative to take on the important task of providing for the elderly.

Wu Zhaodi had no idea if other people did this, but she herself was willing to share this responsibility with her brother.

As a daughter, she also wanted to show her filial piety to her parents.

Luo Zhaodi was not a person who could hide things. When she thought about something uncomfortable, a gloomy expression appeared on her face.

Ling Liang didn't know why and asked her what was wrong with some confusion.

Luo Zhaodi knew that her father-in-law had a gentle temperament, so she thought about it and slowly told the story.

After hearing this, Ling Liang pondered for a while and said, "It's certainly good that you have such a heart. But there is definitely no hope in the near future. After all, my parents-in-law have agreed to go to your brother's place."

"Let's do this. When you get back, you can call your two elders and discuss it with them. If they agree, you can come and live with us if you have time."

Luo Zhaodi originally planned to visit her parents at her younger brother's house more often throughout the year and do whatever she could for them, but unexpectedly she got an unexpected surprise.

She was very happy, but then her mind suddenly moved and she thought of other questions, "My parents are also coming to live here...will it disturb you?"

"No," Ling Liang shook his head, "The three children are often away from home, and the house is too empty. I'm still looking forward to having someone to talk to me."

Luo Zhaodi felt relieved after receiving her father-in-law's approval.

Seeing her relieved look, Ling Liang smiled kindly and turned to look out the car window.

He himself doesn't care whether the house is empty or not, nor is he afraid of loneliness.

However, the original owner had spent most of his life in Nanping Village and was used to the local atmosphere full of human touch. As soon as Luo Zhaodi expressed his wish to honor his parents, he couldn't wait to tell 999 to tell his in-laws to come and live here.

Since the original owner made such a request, Ling Liang would naturally respect him.

Besides, the Luo family is not picky, so living together should be relaxing and enjoyable.

After settling her worries, Luo Zhaodi finally had a smile on her face and hummed a song in a good mood.

As the car drove into town, they happened to catch up with the end of an arrest operation.

Many people gathered around the street, pointing and talking at the suspects being escorted by the police, with happy expressions on their faces.

Luo Zhaodi lowered the car window in confusion and asked the uncle next to her what happened.

The old man stared at the arrest scene and didn't even bother to look back at them, but he did not forget to explain.

It turns out that the town leaders recently received a notice from the city, asking them to implement a crackdown in time to clean up all the gangsters and the like, impose harsh sentences, serve as a warning to others, and restore peace to the people.

No, it was the Chinese New Year, and everyone stayed at home. As soon as the police were dispatched, the gangsters had no time to escape. I heard that some people were still eating at the time, so they were arrested.

After the uncle told them what happened, he waved to them and happily walked to a location more suitable for watching the fun.

It is so.

Thinking of how Jin Bao ended up in jail for stabbing someone in his previous life, Ling Liang looked at him subconsciously.

Jinbao just glanced outside briefly and quickly looked away.

In this life, he and those gangsters don't know each other and have no interactions. All kinds of deception, abduction, and extortion have nothing to do with him.

The prison is far away from Jinbao, and what is now in front of him is a glorious and prosperous road.

……

On February [-]nd, the dragon raises its head. This day is also the birthday of the original owner.

Since early in the morning, many people have come to congratulate him.

Assistant Ran sent gifts on behalf of President Yan Shiyu, and his brother Yan Shungu, the vice president of Huanyu, personally visited the Zhang family's door.

He has always been a good person, and he smiled and chatted with Ling Liang for a long time before leaving.

As for Chi Rongyi, who started the business with the two brothers, he brought his whole family over to celebrate his birthday.

The child was obediently sitting in the living room watching TV without making any noise. Chi Rongyi's wife Chao Lingling had already gone into the kitchen to help Luo Zhaodi, and their cheerful conversation could be heard through the door.

999 transformed into four limbs, folded his arms, snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "It was the same last year, this couple is so funny, they are so attentive to nothing, so..."

"Okay, don't say it so harshly."

Ling Liang stopped what he was saying and frowned slightly, "It's not like you don't know Chi Rongyi's current situation. They would do this as a last resort."

Who would be willing to be humble in front of others if there was another way?

999 thought about it seriously and remained silent.

It actually understands what's going on in its heart, but it understands that as the leader of the host, it just can't see anyone trying to gain benefits from the host.

Still reaping the benefits in such a blatant way that doesn’t know how to hide it!

Chi Rongyi didn't know that there was a system secretly angry with him. His face turned red, and he stumbled and tried to hold back the topic, trying to continue the conversation with Ling Liang smoothly.

After all these years, his socially fearful character has not changed.

Ling Liang chatted with him all the time, his eyes swept over Chao Lingling not far away who seemed to be wandering around but was actually eavesdropping, and sighed softly.

Chi Rongyi is really hard to evaluate.

At work, he devotes himself wholeheartedly and completes tasks impeccably. He is definitely the type of employee that the boss admires most. But when it comes to family, Ling Liang can only say that anyone who marries him will definitely regret it to death.

Now it seems that Chao Lingling has regretted it.

It's okay to be introverted. Chi Rongyi is in charge of technology and doesn't need to deal with customers often. He can just concentrate on research and development work. No one can make irresponsible remarks to him on this.

But his introversion cannot be linked to weakness.

The three of them had made an appointment at first. Since the two brothers Yan Shiyu and Yan Shungu had provided the start-up capital for the business, they had been recruiting customers to negotiate contracts, so they got the lion's share of the profit sharing, with a total of [-]% of the profit.

Chi Rongyi was responsible for breaking through the technical barriers. It was very hard and his contribution was not small. He was given [-]% of the profits, and the remaining [-]% went to the major investors.

During the first few years of opening up the market, this verbal contract was strictly enforced. A top technical talent is so important to the world. He is welcome wherever he goes and must be treated well.

But later, as the domestic network blank areas were filled and a large number of talents emerged, Chi Rongyi's status was no longer special.

Yan Shiyu quickly noticed this, and used this as an excuse to frequently make things difficult, trying to reduce the original [-]% profit to half.

Chi Rongyi... agreed reluctantly.

There is no such thing as arguing with reason, and someone who even struggles to speak, how can you expect him to argue with others?

Yan Shiyu saw that he was a weakling and was very easy to bully, so he immediately intensified his efforts and increased the workload. At the same time, he also quietly added several "turtles" who had returned from studying abroad into his R&D team.

The meaning is self-evident.

Once the "turtles" have learned enough of his skills, Yan Shiyu will no longer need to stay in the company.

You can pack up your things and go back to chewing on yourself.

Chi Rongyi is now isolated and helpless in the company, and the other directors are only interested in profit. He has no choice but to follow his wife's advice and come over to win Ling Liang's support and help.
