Chapter 28

The second sister said solemnly: "You must remember this place, our mother drowned here. Since then, this beach has been a restricted area for the Cheng family. Some people set foot here again. This place has become an ominous place for the Cheng family and even Jinchan Island."

Cheng Yuan said sadly: "I know."

The second sister looked at the sea in the night and said: "About my mother's death, my father once issued a strict prohibition, and he told everyone in the family who knew the reason to swear a poisonous oath."

Cheng Yuan asked in surprise: "Poisonous oath? Why?"

The second sister said silently, "Because my father didn't want to disclose the cause of my mother's death."

Cheng Yuan was stunned, "You mean..."

The second sister nodded and said: "Yes, the cause of mother's death was already found out at that time. I violated the oath of the year and told you the truth today because I thought that you, as Mr. Cheng, should understand the historical grievances of the family. Your analytical and judgment skills may be useful!"

Cheng Yuan grabbed the second sister and asked eagerly, "Tell me, who killed my mother?"

The second sister faced the sea and said in a low voice, "It's the eldest brother-in-law! At that time, the eldest brother-in-law swallowed a gun and committed suicide under the pressure of his father. At that time, the eldest sister went crazy. At that time, Pippi was still young and ignorant, so my father gave up that. For the sake of Pippi, he didn't want the descendants of the Cheng family to grow up with grievances."

Cheng Yuan felt some of these things when he returned to Jinchan Island, but he was still a little shocked when he heard the second sister say it with his own ears today.

The second sister grabbed Cheng Yuan and said excitedly, "A Yuan! I don't think elder sister can be allowed to see Pippi again at this time."

"Are you afraid that the elder sister will wake up and tell Pippi the truth?"

The second sister nodded.

Cheng Yuan said: "Have you ever thought about it, maybe Pippi already knows the truth, and now he is deliberately taking revenge on the Cheng family."

The second sister said suspiciously: "You mean...then how did he know?"

"Second sister, maybe you're not the only one who broke the oath, so besides you, who else knows the truth?"

The second sister thought for a while and said: "Eldest sister, me, and..." She seemed to understand something, and said in surprise: "Seventh uncle!"

Cheng Yuan watched the second sister not speak, turned his head and looked away coldly.

33．ocean shipping

The board of directors was discussing the cooperation with Fei's Ocean, Uncle Seven was talking eloquently, and Cheng Yuan stared at his face intently.

Uncle Qi said carefully: "...After this project goes up, not only our Cheng's products can be transported in full containers, but also the empty containers can be accepted for LCL. As long as the supply of LCL can be guaranteed, the shipping company Profit is out of the question!"

A director said: "The loans from the Bank of Tokyo and other three banks are about to expire soon. If our ocean-going fleet can go to sea at this time, it will be very beneficial to the renewal of the loan!"

Other directors also echoed: "Ocean shipping is already a relatively mature industry, and our peer competitiveness is certainly not strong enough, but this is an opportunity!"

Cheng Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I think I need time to think about this plan in detail."

Both Uncle Qi and Lida looked at Cheng Yuan, Uncle Qi was anxious, Lida was disappointed, this plan was planned by her, but Cheng Yuan didn't seem to take it to heart.

Cheng Yuan announced lightly: "Okay, let's stop here today, the meeting is over!"

Lida followed Cheng Yuan into the office and questioned: "I think you are hesitating, why? Do you not trust my plan or the way of cooperation with Fei?"

"No, it has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with Fei Shi!"

"What's the reason for that?"

Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said, "Because of Uncle Qi."

Lida became confused, "Uncle Seven, what happened to Uncle Seven? He has always supported this plan."

Cheng Yuan said worriedly: "It's because he was too enthusiastic about this plan, which aroused my doubts. Uncle Qi's mentality has always been watching me as a joke. If a plan is really beneficial to the group, and can affect the future of the group prospects, he shouldn't have shown such a positive attitude."

Lida was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "Cheng Yuan, are you too suspicious?"

Cheng Yuan looked at Lida and said after a long time, "Maybe!"

Lawyer Qin knocked on the door and entered, and said to Cheng Yuan: "Mr. Cheng, Li Kejin's amnesty needs to go through some procedures, and you need to contact more than two justices of the peace for security. Look..."

Cheng Yuan said excitedly: "Great, let's pick up Miss Wu and go to the consulate right away! Lida, we'll talk later."

Lida watched Cheng Yuan leave sadly, feeling very uncomfortable.Mr. Fei called and asked her to go out to sea with her, Lida drove home resentfully.

Lida was not in the mood to play at all, and sat on the yacht, looking melancholy at the calm sea.

Mr. Fei came out of the sea wearing diving goggles, and was dragged ashore by the bodyguards dripping water. He held up a lobster and shouted happily to Lida: "Daddy caught you a big lobster, look!"

Lida glanced lightly: "I see!"

Mr. Fei found that something was wrong with Lida, sat down and said out of breath, "Baby girl, what's the matter, why are you so unhappy when you come out to play with dad, who's mad at you?"

Lida said worriedly: "Father, I'm thinking that if the problem of Uncle Qi and Cheng Yuan is not resolved, our shipping plan may run aground."

Mr. Fei frowned and said, "Is it that serious?"

Lida said solemnly: "Yes. Cheng Yuan has always been jealous of Qi Shu, and Qi Shu's enthusiasm for the shipping plan made him hesitate."

Mr. Fei thought about it and said, "It's like this... Seventh Uncle and Cheng Yuan are the old and new forces of the Cheng family. With Cheng Yuan's intelligence and skills, Seventh Uncle will inevitably go downhill, and Cheng Yuan will be like the sun sooner or later. However, in their I don't want to take this muddy water before the winner is decided."

Lida looked at Mr. Fei and said seriously, "What if it's for me?"

Seeing his daughter's stubborn look, Mr. Fei didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lida insisted, "I said before, I don't want to leave Golden Toad Island."

Mr. Fei also insisted: "I did not agree!"

Lida said sadly: "After my mother passed away, you sent me to this island. You lived all over the world without any worries, and only visited me a few times a year. My happiness and happiness have never been yours. The most concerned thing. You don’t want to take me away from here just because I testified in Pippi’s case once! Dad, what do you think?”

Mr. Fei shook his head sadly and said, "Lida, you don't understand Dad. Let me tell you, business is business, cooperation is cooperation. But as I said, the water inside Cheng's house is too muddy now, I don't want to wade in, and I don't want My daughter wades in! Because you represent me in Cheng's and Fei's."

Lida suddenly became excited: "But I'm already in this piece of water, and I can no longer stand on the sidelines!"

Mr. Fei looked at her suspiciously: "Lida, what's wrong with you?"

Lida said heavily: "I love Cheng Yuan!"

Although Mr. Fei knew what Lida was thinking, he was still shocked when such words came from his daughter.Mr. Fei got up slowly, walked to the side of the boat, thought for a long time before saying: "Well, Lao Qi should also know the current affairs, wait for me to persuade him!"

Lida stood up happily: "Really?"

Mr. Fei turned around and said, "Tomorrow, in order to welcome me, Mrs. Cheng will go to Dong Ya Wan to hold a board meeting. At that time, Dad will show his cards to Lao Qi."

Lida stepped forward and took Mr. Fei's hand, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Dad!"

Mr. Fei stroked Lida's head, and looked at the distant sea with serious thoughts.

Dong Ya Wan, in front of the board.

The weather is exceptionally good, the sky is clear and the sea is calm, the coconut trees are shady, and it is a tropical and cozy scene.On the reef, Lao Fei and Seventh Uncle each had a fishing rod, as if they had settled down.

Uncle Qi's fishing rod suddenly started to move. Uncle Qi happily lifted the fishing rod and caught a turtle.

Lao Fei looked at it and joked: "Although the turtle is old, you are old!"

Uncle Qi smiled and threw his pole into the sea, and said unconvinced: "Who said that? It should be said that the martyr is in his twilight years, and his ambition is endless!"

Old Fei laughed loudly: "Actually, the world will belong to young people sooner or later. We old people should think about retreating early. What's the use of fighting? In the end, it's not a piece of land!"

Uncle Qi sighed: "Sometimes, you can't retire if you want to."

Lao Fei explained: "You know the rules in the business field, and what you say is right. In Cheng, only Mr. Cheng can keep his word, and only he can mobilize Cheng's group, and then unite allies. After Mr. Cheng left , Ah Yuan is back. I can see all your ghostly ideas clearly. You didn’t scare him away or overthrow him by making so many things. Jie. If your Cheng family continues to fight like this, will you still be able to do business? Can we partners trust you? The current Cheng family is no longer the gold-lettered brand in the industry. If you don’t want to If you find a way to revitalize it, you will lose all your pension money, right?"

Uncle Qi said disdainfully, "Then tell me, what do you do?"

Mr. Fei said categorically: "It's very simple. If we, Fei's, continue to support you, Cheng, you can only have one Mr. Cheng now! And it will be announced at this board meeting, and then we will mention ocean shipping and build a pharmaceutical factory." , and then ask for a bank loan.”

"Cheng's problem is not who becomes Mr. Cheng, but what to do if he becomes Mr. Cheng! Because, it is not Mr. Cheng who is in charge of Cheng's now!"

Lao Fei asked calmly, "Who is it?"

Seventh Uncle looked around and whispered a name in Lao Fei's ear.

Lao Fei was silent, then sneered: "Does he know?"

"Sooner or later we will know!"

"He knew what was going to happen?"

Uncle Qi snorted and said arrogantly: "What do you think? Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish. The lesson from the past is already there!"

Mr. Fei raised his eyebrows a few times, his eyes revealed a little fear, and then the two resumed their fishing posture and stopped talking.

The directors were all dressed in beach clothes and sat casually at the long table. Cheng Yuan raised his glass and said, "Uncle Fei, this board of directors was chosen in Dongya Bay just to welcome you. Cheng's and Fei's cooperation will continue as always. Let's help each other!"

Mr. Fei stood up and nodded his greetings, and all the directors stood up to toast.

After sitting down, Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Old Fei and I just caught a sea turtle, and he praised me for being strong and healthy. I also feel that I have come to Dongma Island, and my spirit has improved a lot." He looked back at Cheng Yuan and said: "Go play golf in the afternoon, Ah Yuan, Uncle Qi wants to win against you!"

Lida smelled the smell of gunpowder and looked at her father in surprise. Is this what her father advised?Mr. Fei closed his eyes not to look at Lida, and pretended to bask in the sun.

Cheng Yuan said calmly: "Okay! Since Uncle Qi is interested, I will fight!"

Cheng Yuan seldom plays golf, Uncle Qi is different, he likes to play a few shots when he has nothing to do, the two on the board of directors just chat and compete with each other, Cheng Yuan doesn't take it too seriously.Uncle Qi was very happy when he won against Cheng Yuan, he patted Cheng Yuan happily, as if he was showing off something.

On the way back to the car, Uncle Qi said earnestly to Cheng Yuan: "Cheng's business has never been solely Cheng's own business. Just like the shot of a golf ball just now, the wind direction, surface temperature, humidity... can influence you. There are many factors. Moreover, it is impossible for you to hit the hole with one shot. When you continue to play one shot at a time, you have to deal with the situation that may happen at any time! Are you ready?"

Cheng Yuan was very tired of Seventh Uncle's preaching, maybe what Seventh Uncle said was right, but for some reason, Cheng Yuan just didn't want to see Qishu's face.After returning to Jinchan Island, so many things happened, including Pippi's imprisonment later, Cheng Yuan has always concluded that he has a great relationship with Uncle Qi, but this old fox is too cunning, and whenever the truth is about to come out, he is caught by him. eliminated.Cheng Yuan didn't even look at Uncle Qi, and said coldly: "I like clear goals and straightforwardness. Those factors that affect my destination are generally difficult to influence me."

"Both power and an iron fist must have a foundation. When a typhoon comes, the first thing to break is often a tree in its prime."

Cheng Yuan retorted: "Lightning and thunder will also destroy the dead!"

Uncle Qi seemed sad and said: "Ah Yuan, it seems that you have too much prejudice against me. Uncle Qi will not say anything! Let's make a gentlemen's agreement, as long as you agree to the ocean shipping plan, Uncle Qi can withdraw from the Cheng Corporation, Take care of your life!"

Cheng Yuan looked at Uncle Qi in surprise. Uncle Qi's change was really unexpected for him.He thought again, is there something strange about Uncle Qi attaching so much importance to this ocean shipping plan?This plan is indeed very beneficial to the Cheng family, but the more it is like this, the less Uncle Qi should be so active, even at the expense of retirement in exchange.However, it's good if Uncle Qi retires, so that he can flex his muscles in Cheng's.Cheng Yuan decided that he would approve the ocean shipping plan when he voted later. As for what is wrong with it, he will check it out later.

The ocean shipping plan was approved by the board of directors.

As soon as she got home, Lida asked Mr. Fei angrily: "Father, how did you talk to Uncle Seven? Why did you catch fish with you, but he is going to grow old and strong? How did you persuade him?"

"Ayuan has the advantages of Ayuan, and Uncle Seven has the strengths of Uncle Seven. At least, in terms of business, Cheng Yuan is still a little tender. Dad still has to test him, including his feelings for you!"

"But that's not what you said yesterday!" Lida became angrier as she spoke.

Mr. Fei said softly: "Being my Fei family's son-in-law means he has half of the Fei family's business. Give him half of my country, shouldn't I think carefully before making a decision?"

"Dad, are you sorry?"

"It's not about repentance, it's just that the opportunity hasn't come yet!"

Lida said angrily: "Don't think I don't know, you brought Wu Yue to the house just to stop Cheng Yuan from investigating Pippi's case; now you are obviously helping Uncle Qi deal with Cheng Yuan. If you do this, Just for yourself, you don't take my happiness seriously!"

Mr. Fei gave Lida a restraining look. Lida turned her head, and Wu Yue was coming down the stairs.

Wu Yue seemed to have heard something, and forced a smile: "Uncle Fei, Lida, let me go for a walk!"

After Wu Yue walked out, Mr. Fei said with emotion: "I really shouldn't have cultivated you into what you are today. As long as a person has a business name, he will have a sense of utilitarianism. If you are like Wu Yue, you may be happier !"

Lida said coldly: "It's too late to say this now!"

Wu Yue walked out of Lida's villa in fear, looking back in a panic from time to time, the scene of the elder sister smashing Uncle Qi's flowers reappeared in her mind, as well as what Lida said just now.Living here made her feel very depressed, and she was always in a state of panic.Wu Yue crossed her arms with some chills, looked around, and walked towards Cheng Yuan's villa.

Cheng Yuan was changing clothes in his room. He put on a pair of whitish jeans and a series of travel clothes, looking as if he was about to go on a long trip.

Cheng Yuan asked the video on the computer screen: "How is it?"

The other party said: "I have booked a first-class ticket to the United States tonight, and the Malay Capital Airport will also have information about your entry."

Cheng Yuan gestured, "OK!" He hurried out of the villa with his luggage bag in his hand. After thinking for a while, he went in and took out a travel tent and threw it into the car.After doing all this, Cheng Yuan clapped his hands and got into the car with satisfaction.

34．Penang Distress

The sports car was speeding on the highway. After driving all night, Cheng Yuan unscrewed the coffee can, drank the coffee to refresh himself, and then turned on the music. The rock music was playing. He followed the rhythm and slapped his hands on the steering wheel.

The sky gradually brightened, Cheng Yuan parked the car on the side of the road, jumped out of the car to move his body, looked around, and started to urinate on the side of the road.Suddenly felt something was wrong, turned around and saw Wu Yue sat up in a daze from the back seat of the car, even sneezed a few times, and complained: "Why is it so cold all of a sudden? I can't sleep well."

Cheng Yuan tidied up his clothes quickly, looked at Wu Yue in astonishment, "You...why are you in the car?"
