and he pulled her into his embrace, letting her press close to him. He stood behind her, one hand encircling her smooth, slender waist, the other resting on top of her head where her black hair swirle..."It's okay, there are no bullets in this gun!"
The old man waved his hand slightly, and no one dared to speak.
Old Master Yu was anxious, but his worry wasn't about that. It was Rong Ling's son who couldn't even handle a gun loaded with bullets! He was worried because this particular gun was special. This gun was personally awarded by the Marshal himself to this old superior of his, and it held immense significance. It wasn't something just anyone was qualified to touch. Even he had never touched the gun, but now his old superior had pulled it out and given it to the little guy to play with! This favoritism was excessive!
The old man obviously didn't think so. He looked at Xiao Youyou, a slight smile on his face. It was clear that he liked the child.
I've met Browning Little You before and even taken it apart, but even though he is young, he knows that carrying a gun on someone like this old man must have a certain meaning. He fiddles with the gun, because he values the meaning behind it. On the other hand, he also hopes that his performance will be appreciated by this gray-haired old man.
Mommy has been working hard, he will fight his own way and help Mommy!
Holding the gun, he examined it carefully.
Xiaohuo was very interested in firearms. Seeing his brother like this, he leaned forward and watched together.
"That's a good gun!" said Xiao Youyou.
Little Hao said softly, "It's not much different from what we played before. I guess the internal structure won't be too different either, brother. You said it was good because of its historical accumulation, right"
What is meant by "silence speaks volumes, a single cry resounds"
These two little guys are really interesting to the elderly.
Have you guys played it before
With that said, the two little ones naturally nodded their heads.
Have you ever disassembled it
The young ones still nodded.
The old man chuckled. “I’m not quite convinced. How about this, one of you dismantles it, and the other assembles it. If you can get the gun back to its original state, I’ll grant you two a condition, any condition within my power!”
Other people's hearts skipped a beat. This statement was enough to drive too many people mad!
The descendants of the Yu family couldn't sit still. Looking at the two little ones, their eyes lit up with fervor. These two children actually had such great fortune.
Lin Meng's heart moved, but her expression remained unchanged as she looked at the two children. She stayed silent, choosing to withhold her opinion. No matter what the two children decided, she would support them. To be honest, what Yu Laoye and Jiang Laoye had done was like icing on the cake, but it wasn't essential. The two children should just play according to their own personalities.
This unwavering calmness throughout the whole ordeal, fell into the eyes of several Yu family members who immediately turned to look at Lin Meng's reaction. They couldn't help but secretly admire her composure. The elder also raised his eyes to glance at Lin Meng and, seeing that she remained composed, he retracted his gaze.
Xiaoyouyou at this time readily responded with a "good", but she gave the gun to Xiaohāhā.
"Ha ha, you go first!"
Although they had played with it before, Xiao Yuyu was careful and worried that Xiao Haohuo might forget about it for a moment. When assembling it later, he wouldn't be happy. So he gave him the task of dismantling it. He also worried that if Xiao Haohuo didn't feel the gun in his hand beforehand, it would affect the assembly. It's better to let him dismantle it. Although it was a Browning and familiar to them, Xiao Yuyu didn't dare to take it lightly. What if this gun had something different or special He wouldn't want any trouble. Since he took on this job, he had to make sure the mission was completed successfully!
Xiaohuo held the gun in both hands, examined it carefully, and nodded at Xiaoyouyou. Then he sat down on the ground in front of the old man and calmly disassembled it: removing the magazine... checking the chamber... taking off the muzzle cover...
The gun in his hand was like a simple toy. His disassembling movements were imbued with absolute proficiency and unwavering confidence, lacking any significant hesitation!
Soon, parts of the various guns were laid out before Xiao Haohuo. Xiao Haohuo lifted his head and silently looked at the old man. The old man smiled and looked at Xiao Youyou.
"You're coming!"
This is definite!
Xiaoyou also sat down on her bottom, drooping her eyes, and assembled it quickly, her movements concise and calm, with a certain air of composure!
A gun, reshaped in his hands, was held aloft by Xiao Hao. He stood up, holding the gun before the old man with both hands.
"Please check!"
The old man received the gun, but he didn't look at it. He simply put it back in his holster.
"Alright, what are your terms"
He smiled, warmly and kindly like a neighborhood grandfather.
His decisiveness also showed that he was very satisfied with the two little ones. The two children's performance was no worse than those soldiers who often played with guns. Older people are known as "old kids" and always feel sympathetic towards soft and small children. Youyou and Haohuo's performance just hit the old man's taste, how could he not love them even more!
Little Youyou shook her head, her voice clear and crisp as she replied.
"Grandpa let us play with the guns, it was an early reward, we had no conditions."
“Are you sure” the old man said, his voice heavy.
Xiao Youyou shook her head firmly.
The old man said, “Do you know that grandfathers can do many things If you don't make a request, it will be a great loss!”
Xiao Youyou smiled faintly and nodded slightly at the elderly person.
"Thank you, grandpa, but we really don't want it!"
After finishing, he took Xiaohuao's hand and walked towards Lin Meng.
Though he was small, young, and prone to being cute and greedy for new things, he refused so resolutely!
The elder didn't think this was just an ordinary child. He believed that the child's inner world went beyond that of other children. His performance at the military camp and his behavior just now both indicated something extraordinary about him. But why, with such determination, did he refuse The departing figure resembled a vibrant emerald green bamboo shoot, growing vigorously and gracefully, drawing one's attention involuntarily.
Two children walked up to Lin Meng, one on each side, and as they approached her, the elder spoke, looking at Lin Meng.
"The babies are too young, they probably don't understand what they want. So, since you're the mother of these two little ones, why don't you make a suggestion for them"
This is completion!
Everyone present knew what this dinner was for tonight! Old Master Yu was here to speak up for Lin Meng in front of his former boss. Now that the old man had said this, it was definitely the best opportunity for Lin Meng.
To everyone's astonishment, Lin Meng politely and softly declined with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, but the two children said they don't need it, so there really isn't a need!"
Doesn't she know what she has missed out on!
As long as she wanted to, the old man could erase any mention of Asia-Pacific with a word. It was difficult and troublesome for him, yes, but it was within his capabilities. For the old man, what he promised would always be fulfilled!
Others were getting anxious, looking at Lin Meng with their eyes, subtly urging him on. But the oldest member of the Yu family remained silent, leaving no room for these younger generations to speak.
The old man said nothing more, withdrew his gaze, and lowered his eyes. It seemed as if that were the end of it.
It's such a pity!
How many people sigh in frustration.
It wasn't until then that Old Master Yu finally spoke, inquiring about Lin Mengya's eastern trip. Lin Mengya answered what she could.
"Elder Yu sighed. 'You're all too impatient! You withdrew from the market five companies at once, that's too much burden!'
"
"It can't be helped, it's just necessary for the company restructuring!" Lin Meng replied very calmly. You couldn't hear a single hint of complaint in her tone.
Although she understood that Old Master Yu was bringing this up to elicit sympathy from her.
But, you really don't need to!
She can handle this situation, so there's no need to appear weak or complain!
She has her pride, and that pride, never bows!
"How much money are we talking about here Don't you worry about losing all of it at once!"
"It wasn't all bought back at once, but in batches. As for the money, we'll figure it out gradually. No matter what, we have to find a way to make things right for those who stood by us!"
Let's keep it to two then, don't pressure yourselves too much at once! Take it slow, I believe you'll handle it better this way.
“No, the applications have already been submitted. This decision was made after careful consideration by our group. In this era, everything develops so rapidly and changes constantly. If we don't restructure quickly, I fear we'll be left behind by this time!”
Old Mr. Yu sighed.
“What guts these young people have! They really have the courage to try new things, unlike us old folks who just want to stick to what we know!”
"Ha ha, with things like this, even bravery is just something forced upon you. All this to-and-fro is really just for a mouthful of rice!"
Old Yu sighed again.
"Yeah, going back and forth is just about making a living!"
Lin Meng just smiled.
There was a moment of silence.
The elderly person spoke out of the blue.
It is said that when your company, Asia East, sold its assets, you required the buyer to also take on all of the company's employees
"Yes." Lin Meng replied briefly.
The elderly person exclaimed with approval, "This is excellent, very good! It's magnanimous and righteous. This is the kind of style a company should have. Our country needs more companies like yours!"
Lin Meng's heart was gently touched.
"You're exaggerating!" she smiled, her heart clear as a mirror.
The old man didn't answer her, but instead stood up all at once and rushed to Yu Lao Ye.
"It's getting late, my body can't take it anymore, I have to go back!"
Old Mr. Yu stood up right behind him, chuckling softly.
"Well, I didn't realize it was so late. Come on, let me walk you out!"
Lin Meng immediately stood up as well, leading the two children and following Old Master Yu to see this big figure off. At the door, when the guards opened the car door for the old man, he did not get in right away but looked at Lin Meng instead.
"You're leaving too, right Let these two young ones accompany this old man for a while. We happen to be traveling the same way. Traveling alone in a car can get quite lonely!"
The old man’s tone of voice suddenly had a touch of childishness.
This move was naturally meaningful, but Lin Meng didn't respond directly. As mentioned before, this was just icing on the cake, something she could handle.
She looked at the two little ones.
"Grandpa said he's a little lonely, would you guys like to keep him company"
The two little ones nodded, and Lin Meng then pushed the two little ones out.
"Go, but be good. Don't make grandpa angry."
The two little ones nodded and got into the old man's car.
Lin Meng was picked up by a car sent by Dayang. Miao Qing had been waiting here the whole time. Since this was the Yu family, Miao Qing couldn't go inside because it would be too disrespectful. Also, because Miao Qing trusted the Yu family.
As soon as the old man and Lin Meng left the Yu residence, the person who had been keeping a close eye on them couldn't hold back any longer and began to inquire about everything. Grandfather Yu instructed his family to stay close and listen attentively, precisely for this reason. With more people around, it was easier for information to slip out. What happened in the house wouldn't be easy to keep secret.
Lin Meng's experiences today were quickly summarized and spread.
It is said that she was personally received by the leader of Jiang... Under the hot sun, she was led to visit a military camp... Some people say that she is the daughter-in-law of the leader of Jiang, and the leader of Jiang did not deny it... At the table, high-ranking officers of the military region all expressed their closeness to Lin Meng and showed their intention to make friends... The leader of Jiang directly stated in front of everyone, "Wait until you stabilize the situation in Yidong after some time, I guarantee that everyone will look up to you at that time"... The leader of Jiang also said that he valued Rong Ling this person... The troops led by Rong Ling were taken away back then, and now they may be scattered in various military regions. The four who can be confirmed are already a major, a captain, and two lieutenants. Their future is limitless... After the meal, the leader took Lin Meng for a walk again, accompanied by those four people... Lin Meng stayed in the leader's office for more than 2 hours, I don't know what they talked about, but in the end, the leader personally sent Lin Meng to the car, and then, the leader's guard directly sent Lin Meng to the Yu family...
The Yu family had invited the elder statesman in advance... The elder statesman's precious gun was touched, and even allowed Lin Meng's two sons to disassemble and assemble it... The elder statesman gave an opportunity, allowing the two youngsters to ask for any condition, but the two youngsters didn't ask. The elder statesman then directly asked Lin Meng... Lin Meng didn't ask, and the elder statesman didn't express anything... Yu the Elder Statesman showed concern about Ya Dong's affairs, and then suggested that Lin Meng not withdraw from the market too hastily, leaving two companies, saying "Take it slow, I believe you will be able to cope more easily," and also sighed that he was old, so "I just want to keep what I have"... The elder statesman suddenly asked a question, then praised Ya Dong's actions vigorously, saying "This is very good, excellent! Great benevolence and righteousness, the style of an enterprise should have. Our country needs more companies like yours!" ... Before leaving, the elder statesman personally invited the two youngsters to go in the car with him, but it was unknown what the elder statesman said to the two youngsters in the car...
All of this is enough to illustrate the attitudes these three bigwigs had towards Asia-East and the Rong family. No, these three people stepping forward are not just their own attitudes, but the attitudes of many people. The Jiang leader's family, the high-ranking officials of the military district at the time, showed closeness and friendliness; the Yu leader's family, his faction, plus that revered elder leader...
Those who had intentions to make trouble for the Rong family were shaken and their hearts turned slightly cold by this grand display!
Their actions today speak volumes about their attitude!
Yatung, stay!
Ai-dong, it will be alright!
Don't push Ya Dong too hard!
Don't overdo it, those old folks are still alive!
The Liu family received instructions almost immediately to cease all operations against the Ya Dong. This was a bitter pill for them to swallow, as they had put so much effort into their confrontation with the Rong family, only to realize that they hadn't achieved the massive gains they had anticipated. At this point, the Rong family was clearly in decline, and withdrawing from the market and repurchasing shares wasn't going to be easy. Such a large funding gap, if not handled carefully, could easily drag the Rong family into ruin. Yet, all they could do was watch helplessly as this seemingly easy target slipped through their grasp.
Oh dream!
What kind of magic does this woman have that can turn the tide at this critical moment!
Full of anger and resentment, the Liu family could only pass this instruction onto the He family. The He family was dumbfounded!
What!
Stop the actions against Asia-East!
Then all their hard work they've put in these past few days wouldn't have been for nothing, would it!
Hearing this, every member of the He family felt like they were about to spit blood!
The Liu family still felt wronged, they did something but didn't get much reward. However, the He family suffered the most in this incident. The He family's main industry was acquired by the Liu family using underhanded means in the early stages. Later, because they needed help from the Liu family and wanted to turn things around for their elders, some of their industries were given to the Liu family at half the price. This time, when Ya Dong suddenly made the move to sell assets and delist, the He family suffered a considerable loss due to suppressing Rong's family, blindly selling stocks, and then buying up the company. The He family may still look prosperous, but in fact, their huge business has been reduced by seven or eight out of ten! They wanted to force Ya Dong to death to start anew, but now the Liu family suddenly said they wouldn't do it, why! How can this be possible!
The He family called the Liu family, but the Liu family was extremely heartless and refused to answer any calls. They acted as if they had completely severed ties with the He family. The He family, seeing this, were so terrified after spitting blood up that they started panicking.
What's going on What in the world is happening!
The Liu family was the He family's greatest protection, but suddenly, this protection was completely withdrawn. What should the He family do! What about those elders who are still under investigation They were hoping that once the Rong family matter ended, the Liu family would release them. Now what does this mean Are they just going to leave the elders like this!
He Zhan rushed about in a flurry, sending people to investigate what was going on. Being away from his elders at home, the latest news wouldn't reach him quickly. When he finally learned some details, he couldn't stand it anymore and fainted right there!
The He family is finished!
Without the He family's protection, they are bound to be finished. Once the Rong family catches its breath, they will definitely seek revenge. At that time, the He family will surely not be able to withstand it!
I originally thought that being approached by the Liu family was an opportunity, a chance to rise from the ashes. But I never expected that our He family would end up just being pitiful pawns, used and discarded by this person and that person. This political world is so corrupt and ridiculous. They blindly trusted the Liu family. That family was never loyal in the first place, so where could they expect them to keep their promises Once things happened, the Liu family ruthlessly severed ties with us without any mercy. It's hateful, absolutely hateful! If we hadn't followed the Liu family back then, at least we would have had some foundation. Even if our elders were sentenced, our family could still maintain a comfortable life. But now, everything has been destroyed, truly down to nothing!
This person on top is just playing with people like this!
Politics, it's such a freaking disgust. It's disgusting, through and through!
He Zhanxu cursed, tears streaming down his face.
*
That night, there was a slight tremor throughout Kyoto. Of course, these tremors were never related to the ignorant commoners. Those who could play politics were only the rich and powerful. Politics has never been something that ordinary people are qualified to touch!
The wealthy families finally woke up, breaking out in a cold sweat. They would never again resort to gloating, piling on, or trying to take advantage of the situation. It turned out that the Rong family had taken the lead, taking the hit for them!
How absurd! They allow those corporations to rake in astonishing profits by selling off national resources while simultaneously crying poverty and begging the government for massive subsidies year after year. Yet, they can't stand to see private enterprises grow and prosper, as if these businesses were devouring their flesh, drinking their blood, and stealing their money!
This country, is it theirs! They can allow their people to run amok there, indulge in gluttony and extravagance, emptying mountains of gold and silver, yet they cannot tolerate those who diligently work hard, starting businesses year after year, and paying the hefty taxes that contribute to this nation!
If Rong Jia really falls in this incident, then can the next person in charge escape And the one after that, and the one after that!
...such a shocking association!
Two well-established domestic companies with decades of history were suddenly acquired by foreign companies one after another, which sparked a lot of criticism. People criticized them for not persevering and selling their national brands to foreigners, which they saw as humiliating the nation. How could such a good company willingly sell itself to someone else It's not that foreign companies have advantages and protection in the domestic market! Is it not because foreign companies make those who are only domineering internally afraid to offend them
They thought back then that the two old businesses were like uprooted water plants, so in order to seek stability, they directly sold the businesses. However, they were different from the bosses of those companies. They had connections, they were insiders, but now look at the Rong family...
In the end,
one cannot escape!
This time, the Rong family has helped them! As a person, one must have some bottom line and not be ungrateful. The Rong family, they absolutely cannot take this opportunity to suppress them. Looking at the situation, even though Rong Ling is gone and Rong Sanbo is detained, with Lin Meng present, the Rong family is still valued by important figures. As long as the Rong family can remain strong, then they should also be able to do well. The Rong family has gradually become their guardian, so the Rong family must not fall, otherwise, they are in danger.
This evening, many people have called it a night!
Many people have come to look up to Rong's family again, and then to the woman. After all, it was this woman who maneuvered between those big figures and created such a situation!
That woman, can never underestimate again!
Her every arrangement for the Rong family, looking back now, was truly benevolent and wise!
She was a remarkable woman!
Meanwhile, on Rong Jia's side, there were also many people who received the news. Their feelings of shock and delight need not be stated. Naturally, more people had come to recognize and acknowledge Lin Meng.
But here, Du Caiyi is definitely not included. As the former mistress of the house, she should put the overall situation first and think that Lin Meng's actions are a great good, and she should temporarily put aside her prejudice against Lin Meng. But she did none of this, instead becoming even more eager to confront Lin Meng!
Seeing Lin Meng garnering more and more recognition from the Rong family, Du Caixin felt she couldn't wait any longer. She could see clearly what was happening, but unfortunately, her intelligence only extended to this much.
She wanted her son back, before Lin Meng was truly recognized by the whole clan. She urged him to return as soon as possible. Otherwise, Rong Ling would be lost, and her son would never be able to come back for the rest of his life!
She wants to divide the inheritance!
Rong Ling is dead, this inheritance can be divided, she can use this opportunity to work properly and get her son back. When he comes back, she won't have to go back to that crappy Africa anymore!er trembling, how could it possibly escape Rong Ling's notice. Rong Ling frowned, pinched her face, turned it over, and looked carefully at it from top to bottom. Lin Meng blinked, because her face wa...
