"Then what should we do?" Chen Huarong looked at him for help, no longer maintaining his previous arrogant attitude.

"You don't have to do anything," Li You raised his hand calmly, "Daojun's only official connection now is your husband. He won't watch your husband fall to the bottom."

Li You looked at his watch, "It's getting late, Ms. Chen."

"I guess Chen Daojun is already talking to President Chen now."

"Please come back."

Chen Huarong was silent for a while, "Didn't you and Chen Daojun just work together?"

"Is that what he said?"

"My husband said so earlier."

Li You smiled and said, "Before was before, and now is now. This is how cooperation between adults works. After completing a common goal, allies are no longer allies. Isn't this very common in your chaebol families?"

Chen Huarong looked at Li You for a while, "Thank you for reminding my husband and me this time. You can come to us for help next time. It's just a small matter."

"Deputy Chen, take care."

Just as Li You said, the scandal of Emperor Cui Changdi taking bribes only lasted for two days before it died down. Even the mayor's position became more secure, and Wu Shixuan was released.

For this purpose, Chen Daojun transferred the development rights of 100,000 pyeong of land in Seoul's new town to Shunyang Group.

Meanwhile, the operation against Garibong Cave has begun, with people being deported to their countries and jailed every day.

It seemed that some news had been received. Except for some stubborn guys, most of the sensible people had split up into small groups and hid throughout Seoul.

However, many hooligans from nightclubs were still arrested. There were not enough temporary cells in the Garibongdong Police Station, so people had to be sent to surrounding police stations.

Among the diners, Zhang Yishuai was complaining to Ding Qing, "You don't know how perverted that policeman is."

Thinking about the scene he secretly saw, he took a breath and said, "Luckily I wasn't caught by him this time. If he had caught me and slapped me, I wouldn't have woken up."

Ding Qing laughed out loud. He didn't believe that such a superman really existed.

"You are such a boaster," he sipped his glass of wine, "you make him look like a cartoon character."

“Ah, Ding Qing!” Zhang Yishuai stared with his eyes wide open. Seeing that Ding Qing was still so careless, he waved his hands helplessly, “You’ll know when he beats someone in front of you.”

"When this raid is over," he hummed, "just wait and see. More Koreans like Ding Qing and I will pour into Seoul, and then it will be even harder to control Garibongdong."

Li You narrowed his eyes. It would be interesting if a man named Zhang Qian came to Jialifeng Cave.

Li Zicheng sat next to Li You. He raised his glass to toast Li You. "What do you think of Shunyang's recent situation, President Li?"

"What else can we see?" Li You raised his head and finished the wine in his hand. "It's about the competition between Sunyang and Miracle for the development rights of the new town in Seoul. Now everyone in Seoul who is well-informed knows that Choi Changdi was able to become the mayor without Sunyang's support."

"It was Miracle Company that pushed him up there."

Li You was quite satisfied with the result. "With Chairman Chen Yangzhe's ability, it is impossible for him to give up just because his opponents are his grandson and son-in-law."

"Is the previously announced major shareholder of Miracle Company really Chen Yangzhe's grandson?"

Li Zicheng raised his hand and filled the wine to hide his surprise.

Li You took the wine from his hand and said, "It's not surprising that you don't know. After all, Chen Daojun's father is Chen Yangzhe's illegitimate son."

"Chen Daojun," Li Zicheng's eyes were wandering. He didn't know whether he should ask Section Chief Jiang to tell him something.

Li You patted him and clinked glasses with him again, "Chen Daojun must have got something that is unfavorable to Shunyang, otherwise how could he play better than his own grandfather?"

"Thank you, President Li," Li Zicheng finished a full glass of white wine, "otherwise I would have no way of knowing this."

"You're welcome."

Ding Qing on the side seemed to be chatting with Zhang Yishuai, but in fact he had been listening for a long time. As soon as Li You and Li Zicheng stopped talking, he poked his head over here with a smile.

"Two elites, are you done talking?"

Li Zicheng glanced at him silently without saying anything. Ding Qing suddenly felt bored. "It's always like this."

"You dislike him?" Li You joked, "Why not give Zicheng to me?"

"Go away!" Although Beidamen gave Li You 10% of the profits every month, the relationship between Ding Qing and Li You became better and better, and they could be considered friends with whom they could make jokes.

Ding Qing's face was wrinkled with laughter. He hugged Li Zicheng and said, "Just be envious!"

"By the way, where is your secretary?"

"We have to give people a day off," Li You shook his head as he recalled how Yoon Hyunwoo asked for leave.

I forgot that he is still a young man under the age of nineteen.

"He is indeed good," Li Zicheng nodded, which was rare for him, "He is a very motivated person."

He lowered his head. He joined Beidaemun because he had no choice. But this young man
Li Zicheng knew very well how difficult life was in there. Even though they were sitting together now and chatting about this and that like big shots, in fact no one could be sure what the future would be like.

He turned his head and looked at Li You. Fortunately, Yin Xuanyou was Li You's secretary.
"President Li," Ding Qing interrupted his thoughts, "Have you heard about what happened in the Tiger Clan recently?"

Li You put down his glass and said, "I know something, but I don't think I know as much as you do. After all, you are closer."

"I heard that some of Shi Dongchu's businesses were recently investigated, but because they were so clean, nothing could be found." Ding Qing nodded in admiration, "He is indeed a powerful guy."

The latest news from the Tiger Faction is quite intriguing. Shi Dongchu has transferred all the underworld forces under his command to the second-in-command Li Zhongjiu, and now all his businesses are visible.

If Jiangnan Industry continues to develop, Li You will also separate the light and dark operations, just like he is doing now in the Tiger Faction.

After drinking, Li You watched them leave and were picked up by the employees at the North Gate, while he strode towards the small building.

"Li You," Li Youmo waved at the door of the small building. As the college entrance examination is approaching this month, she has rarely come.

The weather had begun to get colder, and the girl was wrapped up like a dumpling.

"Why are you here?" He stopped at the door. "Isn't the college entrance examination coming up soon?" "Yes," the girl nodded. "But you have to combine work and rest. I stopped by to say hello to you."

She gently pointed upstairs and said, "I just met a very young man upstairs. I think I have seen him before."

"Very young?" Li You raised his eyebrows. He remembered that he gave Yoon Hyunwoo three days off.

"Yes, he said it was your secretary." Li Youmo nodded.

She clapped her hands, "I remember now, he's the senior who ranked first in grades at Shichuan Middle School!"

"I met him once when I transferred to another school last year, and the teacher at that time told me that he was number one."

This world is so wonderful that two people who originally had nothing to do with each other can still interact with each other.

Yoon Hyunwoo was cleaning Li You's office upstairs. When he saw Li You coming up, he lowered his head shyly and said, "Representative."

"Didn't I grant you three days of vacation?" Li You sat down on the chair. "Why did you come back so early in the afternoon?"

Yin Xuanyou opened his mouth, and Li You saw what he was thinking, a little helpless, "Don't worry, you know what you need to do as my secretary, I won't embarrass you because of this matter."

"I didn't think it through before," Li You sighed, "I didn't pay attention to your character. How is the situation at home now?"

"Thank you, President," Yin Xuanyou said with some reluctance, "Everything is fine at home."

"Go and have some rest." Li You patted his shoulder. "There's nothing to do this late at night."

Li You came to Soonyang Department Store the next day. Soonyang Department Store is quite large in Seoul, and its layout is indeed at the forefront of fashion.

Chen Huarong was just talking about a small favor, and he would need it today.

The office occupies half of the floor and is filled with flashy things, which is very consistent with Chen Huarong's style.

Compared to this office, Li You's office does look shabby.

Chen Daojun was standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, looking into the distance with a calm expression. He turned around when he heard the door open.

Apart from greeting each other, there was no other communication between the two, one still standing outside the window and the other sitting on the sofa.

After a while, Chen Huarong came in with a middle-aged man with glasses and a much younger girl.

The man had a face that looked cowardly and honest, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

The young woman has very fair skin and her eyebrows are not dark in color, but her overall makeup is very distinctive and somewhat aggressive.

"Why is my place so lively today?" Chen Huarong was a little surprised. "You three all know each other, so let me introduce him."

Chen Huarong pointed at Li You and said, "This is the representative of Jiangnan Industry, Li You."

"Li You?" The middle-aged man frowned. Although the name seemed familiar, he couldn't find it in his mind.

"Is it the president of Jiangnan Industrial?" The young woman thought of the name. "Grandpa seemed to have mentioned him at the dinner table recently."

Even Chen Daojun shifted his attention to women. Ever since his showdown with Chen Yangzhe, he rarely returned to Zhengxinzhai, the Chen family's mansion.

Not to mention going back and pretending to be a happy family having dinner together, he didn't even know that Chen Yangzhe mentioned Li You at the dinner table.

"Yes, it's the kid from another family that the father mentioned. He recently used his experience to educate Xingjun." The middle-aged man thought about it, "But why is he here?"

Just then the door was pushed open, and Li You casually glanced at the door. Mou Xianmin, who also looked over, was also a little surprised.

"Ms. Mou."

Mou Xianmin smiled and nodded, "Representative Li."

She looked at the others and greeted them one by one.

The middle-aged man is Chen Dongji, the second son of the Chen family, and the young woman is his daughter Chen Yijun.

"I really didn't expect that I would have so many guests today." Chen Huarong clapped his hands with a smile, showing a sense of being a leader.

"You all don't need my help, do you?" Her eyes flickered, "Except for Daojun, her mother is now serving as a fitting model for me downstairs."

This is a blatant humiliation, a wife of a second-generation chaebol has to be a model for fitting clothes.

Of course, there was a reason why Chen Huarong mentioned this, because although Chen Runji was an illegitimate child, Chen Yangzhe treated all his children equally and did not mistreat him unfairly.

But Chen Runji fell in love with a popular star, who is now Chen Daojun's mother.

The story of the second generation of chaebols abandoning their family for entertainers is an interesting anecdote in the chaebol circle.

Chen Daojun's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes had already begun to change. If it weren't for the fact that he still wanted to use Cui Changdi
"Don't air your dirty laundry in public, Huarong." Chen Dongji coughed twice, "But I still want to know, when did you become involved with a security company?"

For some reason, Chen Dongji always felt that he disliked this kid. Maybe it was because he was also the one who was taught a lesson by Chen Yangzhe that day, or it could be for other reasons.

How could Chen Dongji, after all these years, be inferior to a low-level kid? He was a little dissatisfied.

Chen Yijun pulled him and said, "Dad, let's talk about business first."

"How can we negotiate?" Chen Dongji pointed inside, "Relying on a third generation who has fallen out with the family and a security company?"

"The newspaper girl who refused to marry Shunyang?"

"We are all outsiders, how can we start talking?"

He sat on the sofa, "You guys chat, I'll talk after you leave."

"I came to the office only because my aunt invited me," Chen Daojun looked at Chen Huarong, "but didn't my aunt go too far?"

He knew why his mother was willing to be a fitting model and even provide reference for those noble ladies.

It was simply because he needed Emperor Cui Chang, so Chen Huarong used this to threaten his family. He thought he was asked to come to the office for something, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to get him away from his mother.

This is not something Emperor Cui Chang could do.
