Chapter 836 Frowning
The key question is how he found Aunt Zhang and her family? They had never been in contact with Aunt Zhang's family since they returned.

When Qin Tongtong returned home, she saw Wang Yang looking worried.

"What's wrong? I bought you a new dress while shopping today, try it on and see if it fits."

Wang Yang took the clothes; they were the style he usually preferred.

"Thank you so much."

"You haven't bought any new clothes lately, why don't you try these on?"

Wang Yang nodded in agreement. After returning to the bedroom, Qin Tongtong asked softly:
"You seem very preoccupied today. Is there any progress in Aunt Zhang's matter? Is it related to her son?"

Wang Yang nodded slightly. Although the matter was not yet fully resolved, at least some progress had been made.

"Musk found out that Aunt Zhang's son was recently promoted, just a week ago. I think the timing is a bit of a coincidence."

"Really? Our company has business dealings with them, but I was completely unaware of it."

It is estimated that this transfer came suddenly, and even the person involved may have been caught off guard.

“But his original position was already quite high, and such a transfer usually requires a long period of deliberation; it's impossible to decide on it within a week.”

“You’re right, unless there was prior inside information. I doubt even his son knew. I have a feeling this has nothing to do with him, so I want to talk to him.”

Qin Yuqing hesitated. Even if it had nothing to do with him, Aunt Zhang was still his mother, and he was unlikely to side with Wang Yang.

"But is he willing to tell the truth?"

“I suspect he might not know, but we could ask him to help find out. He should know very well which side he should be on.”

Qin Yuqing understood Wang Yang's unspoken meaning. Their company had an important collaborative project with her own enterprise, and his son was the key person in charge of this project.

If problems arise in the collaboration, the project will be lost, and his position will also be in jeopardy.

"Then go see him. Do you have his contact information?"

"Yes, I asked Musk to help me make the contact. I plan to meet him at the restaurant later."

Qin Yuqing nodded, knowing that Wang Yang was aware of the situation, but she still couldn't help but worry.

“Be careful when you meet him. He and his mother have a very deep bond, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he chooses to side with his mother.”

“I understand. I’ve heard that they are a mother and son who depend on each other for survival. They had a very hard life in their early years, and things only got better after he graduated from university and got a stable job. Now their lives are getting better and better.”

That's why he cherishes his current life so much. He's not unreasonable; once he understands the pros and cons, he should be able to make the right choice.

Shortly after, Musk called to inform Wang Yang that Aunt Zhang's son, Xiao Liu, was waiting at the agreed-upon restaurant. Wang Yang then drove there alone.

"I'll go with you. After all, I know him, so it'll be easier to talk things over."

Qin Yuqing wanted to travel with Wang Yang and hoped to share more of the burden.

"No need, I don't want to involve you. And it would be best if we could resolve this without using company resources."

Qin Yuqing understood Wang Yang's concerns; he was worried that Shen Qiang might discover any clues.

"Alright then, be careful."

Wang Yang smiled slightly. This was just a brief conversation with Xiao Liu; there would be no danger.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the restaurant. Xiao Liu had been waiting for him for a long time. When he received Musk's call, he guessed it was Wang Yang who wanted to meet him. He had always admired this young entrepreneur.

He was quite surprised when he first heard that Wang Yang had acquired Qin Yuqing's family business. It was truly remarkable that someone so young could lead such a large company. "Xiao Liu, sorry to have kept you waiting, there was some traffic on the way."

"It's alright, I've only been here a short time. I've worked with your company a few times before, but I haven't had the chance to meet you yet."

Wang Yang nodded with a smile: "Now we finally have a chance."

He guessed that Xiao Liu might have thought they were going to discuss a collaborative project.

"Did you call me here today for company business?"

"No, it's actually a personal matter. Your promotion was quite sudden; I heard that no one in the company knew about it beforehand."

When asked about this, Xiao Liu, who was pouring tea, smiled.

"That's true. I was quite surprised when I first received the news. To be honest, it was a real surprise; I hadn't heard anything about it before. Besides, there's actually someone in our company who's more suitable for this position than me."

Hearing what Xiao Liu said, Wang Yang could tell that he was an upright person who, although pursuing fame and fortune, insisted on obtaining them in a fair and open environment.

"But I don't know why the company suddenly promoted me. I didn't dare to ask why, so I could only try my best not to let them down."

Wang Yang nodded in understanding. It was clear that Xiao Liu was genuinely unaware of the promotion and was very grateful for the opportunity the company had given him.

"Don't you have any doubts about this promotion?"

Xiao Liu frowned: "What do you mean by that? I assure you, I have never used any improper means. I really don't know why the company promoted me."

Xiao Liu spoke very seriously, as if afraid Wang Yang wouldn't believe him. However, he was also puzzled: why was Wang Yang suddenly so interested in his promotion?

"Could it be that another minister in our department has some connection with you?"

"No, you're overthinking it. I just wanted to ask, don't you think this promotion is a bit suspicious?"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Liu realized it truly felt like a windfall. However, he also believed it wasn't entirely impossible, given his own competitive edge.

"You may not know me well, but your wife, Qin Yuqing, should. The company has entrusted me with many large projects, which shows that they trust me. So this promotion, though sudden, is not without reason."

Wang Yang agreed. The key issue is that the timing was too coincidental and too sudden.

"You were suddenly promoted a week ago. Were there any rumors circulating in the company before that?"

After recalling the incident, Xiao Liu shook his head: "Absolutely not. So everyone in the company was very surprised. But everyone knows my character and knows I wouldn't do anything underhanded."

"I've already investigated and never suspected you of pulling strings behind the scenes. I just want to remind you that something's not right about this promotion."

Only then did Xiao Liu truly realize the purpose of Wang Yang's meeting today.

"I'm a straightforward person. Please just say what you want to say. I also feel that something is amiss, but I can't delve into it."

Wang Yang understood his thinking. After all, this wasn't without reason, and he couldn't refuse the opportunity offered by the company.

“I understand your situation. I've investigated your character beforehand and have a general idea of ​​what you're like. If someone were to promote you, they would undoubtedly want something in return. But no one has contacted you during this time, right?”

Xiao Liu nodded: "You're right, no one has contacted me, and I won't give anything in return."

"Of course I believe you didn't. What about the people around you?"

Now Xiao Liu was even more confused. He was not yet married and had no close relatives.
