Chapter 1115 Uncertain
"Brother, I know you are upset about what happened last time. This is normal. It will be the same for everyone. This time when Shi Lei's company got into trouble, it was the kid from the Lu family who was behind it. You have something to do with this matter."
Song Yuanchao smiled but didn't say anything. He understood what Hu Yaoqing meant. At first, the other party targeted Si Te and started with Zhu Weizhou. If Song Yuanchao hadn't discovered it, he would have almost succeeded. Afterwards, Song Yuanchao caught the other party off guard at lightning speed and almost uncovered the Lu family's background.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Weizhou suddenly got into trouble. Although various evidences showed that Zhu Weizhou fell by himself, the things hidden behind it were terrifying when one thought about it carefully. Moreover, after Zhu Weizhou's accident, there was no direct evidence and some situations were difficult to verify. In addition, because of Song Yuanchao's efforts, the Lu family also made concessions, which led to the case being left unresolved.
The matter seemed to be over, but Song Yuanchao always remembered it in his heart. When Song Yuanchao and Lin Daoyuan were chatting before, he also expressed his attitude that this matter had only come to an end but not completely ended.
But then again, it was one thing for Song Yuanchao to think so, but it was another thing for Hu Yaoqing to use this to take advantage of him. Song Chaoyuan didn't believe that Hu Yaoqing would be so loyal and kind.
If that was the case, there was no need for Hu Yaoqing to hide behind and instruct Liu to ask Shi Lei to come to him. Wouldn't it be better for him to explain it directly? Besides, he had known Hu Yaoqing for so many years, and he knew what kind of person Hu Yaoqing was. Although Hu Yaoqing looked carefree and talked about brotherhood all the time, when something really happened, Hu Yaoqing would definitely only care about himself and not others.
"Brother Hu, this matter has passed long ago. Besides, I was indeed angry at that time, but didn't the other party apologize later? I am a businessman, and business is all about harmony and wealth. Don't you think this is the truth?" Song Yuanchao smiled faintly and answered calmly, with sincerity in his expression.
"You, you, we have known each other for so many years, is there any need to pretend in front of me?" Hu Yaoqing raised his hand and pointed at Song Yuanchao with a little dissatisfaction.
"I'm really not pretending. Do you think I need to pretend?" Song Chaoyuan shrugged. "You know the situation of our old man. He has stopped caring about things a long time ago. Even if he was in charge, everyone knows his temper. Public is public and private is private. He has been doing this job for a lifetime and this character cannot be changed."
"Besides, if we really talk about Si Te's matter, we at Shenghua also have the problem of poor management. There is an old saying that goes, flies never bite seamless eggs. If there is a loophole inside because I didn't do my job well, I can't blame others, right? Besides, Mr. Shi and I are just nodding acquaintances. He is not related to me, and we don't have much friendship. For a pure outsider, why should I offend the Lu family?"
"Brother Hu, I know you care about me, so I'm here to say thank you with tea instead of wine. But after thinking about it, I think it's better not to interfere in this matter. What good will it do me if there is another misunderstanding? It's nothing more than venting my anger, but at my age, I'm a grandfather, not a young man in his early twenties, so why should I be angry?"
"Oh, right, I saw a good saying in society some time ago. It's too long and I can't remember the details, but it means don't get angry, don't get angry, don't get angry, if you get angry, you'll ruin your health and no one can replace you... Hahaha, we are all middle-aged and elderly people. I'm a grandfather now, and you will be a grandfather in a few years. The ancients said it well, take a step back and the world will be broad. Why get angry, right?"
Song Chaoyuan's words left Hu Yaoqing speechless. He never expected that Song Yuanchao would be so magnanimous and not take this matter to heart at all.
How much of it was true and how much of it was false, anyway, looking at Song Yuanchao's nonchalant expression, Hu Yaoqing couldn't guess for a moment. Hu Yaoqing originally thought that if he talked about this matter, Song Yuanchao would change his attitude unexpectedly, but he didn't expect Song Yuanchao to react like this.
"This old fox is getting more and more cunning. Does he really not care?" Hu Yaoqing rolled his eyes to figure out Song Yuanchao's thoughts. After thinking about it, it shouldn't be the case. Song Yuanchao understands him, and he also understands Song Yuanchao. If Song Yuanchao can really let go of this matter completely, it shouldn't be likely!
If Song Yuanchao really didn't take this matter seriously and was prepared to stand aside and watch, then Hu Yaoqing's previous plan would be completely in vain. Hu Yaoqing thought about it and felt that he couldn't give up so easily. He had to continue trying and get Song Yuanchao on board no matter what.
"Brother, you are this, I am ashamed of myself!" Hu Yaoqing gave Song Yuanchao a thumbs up with a look of admiration.
"I'm so ashamed. It's mainly because I'm old and my mind is not as clear as before. I don't want to bother with it anymore." Song Chaoyuan smiled embarrassedly.
"Hahaha, that's true. But brother, besides the Lu family behind the scenes, there is another person who is also making trouble. I'm afraid you don't understand it?" Hu Yaoqing said suddenly.
Song Yuanchao was slightly stunned and looked towards Hu Yaoqing.
Hu Yaoqing dipped his hand in the tea, wrote something on the table, then wiped it away with one hand and said with a smile: "You are familiar with this old friend, right? You fought many times in the past. I didn't expect that he was also involved in this matter."
Song Chaoyuan didn't expect this answer, and was slightly surprised. He hadn't heard of this name for some time. Ever since Luo Yang talked to him before, Song Chaoyuan gradually forgot about this person. So much time had passed in a flash, and in Song Chaoyuan's mind, it seemed that there was no possibility of any intersection with this .
But unexpectedly, Hu Yaoqing suddenly mentioned this person today, and from Hu Yaoqing's narration, this person actually joined forces with the Lu family to attack Shi Lei's company. This really surprised Song Yuanchao.
"Brother Hu, I remember that he has no relationship with the Lu family, right? And I haven't heard that he has any relationship with the kid from the Lu family. Are you mistaken?"
"Mistaken? Haha, that's absolutely impossible." Hu Yaoqing laughed: "You don't think that I'm that secretive, do you? To put it bluntly, there are some things I want to know, and there really aren't many that can be hidden from me. I think you can understand this, brother?"
Hu Yaoqing was not bragging, he really had the capital. And since that person's previous incident, his future was not good at all. He was gradually marginalized in recent years, and the gap between him and Hu Yaoqing was getting bigger and bigger, so it was not surprising that Hu Yaoqing knew something about him.
"There's another piece of gossip, do you want to hear it, brother?"
Song Yuanchao didn't say anything, just looked back at Hu Yaoqing.
Hu Yaoqing said lightly: "I don't know what agreement they have reached, but I heard that he will take another step forward recently. Maybe he will make a comeback."
"You mean... the Lu family...?"
"That should be the case, otherwise they wouldn't be hooking up with each other, and besides the one from the Lu family, who else has this ability?" Hu Yaoqing said bluntly.
Song Chaoyuan's expression became solemn. He sat there without saying anything, but his left fingers on his knee were tapping his knee lightly. Many thoughts flashed through his mind at once.
Looking at Song Yuanchao's expression, Hu Yaoqing felt relieved. It seemed that his judgment was correct.
He did not urge Song Yuanchao, but just drank his tea quietly. After a while, Song Yuanchao came back to his senses and looked at Hu Yaoqing again.
"Brother Hu, now that we've come to this point, can you please give me the bottom line?"
Hu Yaoqing laughed and nodded: "Brother, brother, are you still worried about your brother? Well, since you said so, I won't hide it from you. You know the situation of my family. My father's health is not as good as before. Although my brother has developed well in recent years, there is still a gap compared to the Lu family."
"As for this matter, I admit that I have selfish motives, and you also know that I have never gotten along well with that person, and I don't want him to get back on his feet by relying on the Lu family. If this is the result, it will not be good for you or me."
"Shi Lei's matter is just a small matter, but it would not be a good thing if they succeeded in doing it. And it is not convenient for me to take action on this matter, and it is the same for Da Liu to take action. Everyone knows that Da Liu and I are in the same group. So I am happy to find a suitable person to help Shi Lei and cause them some trouble. Besides, if this matter is accomplished, the profit will not be small. And you are the best candidate. If you can come forward, it will be logical both in business and in private. After all, the other party did it on the first day, and it is reasonable for you to do it on the fifteenth day."
Song Yuanchao smiled and shook his head: "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, you have a good plan. You just stretched out your hand and circled everyone in, but you are standing outside the circle watching the fun?"
"I admit that this is a bit dishonest, but even if it's dishonest, so what? Brother, can you say that they are honest when they attacked Shi Lei? Isn't that how business works? It's just a lie. Besides, did the Lu family warn you in advance when they attacked your company? I'm just following the flow."
Hu Yaoqing said this frankly, as if he was not talking about himself but about others. Perhaps only Hu Yaoqing could speak to this extent.
Song Yuanchao didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the tea in it, then stood up.
"I have something else to do in the evening, so I won't invite you, Brother Hu, to dinner." Song Chaoyuan said this lightly, then turned and walked towards the door.
Hu Yaoqing behind him didn't say anything, but just looked at Song Yuanchao's departing back, until Song Yuanchao opened the door, paused, and turned around.
"Brother Hu, are you planning to go back to Yanjing today or leave tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I just flew here today so I'll take a day off. Anyway, this isn't urgent and I'm not in such a rush."
"Okay then. Maybe I'll go to Yanjing to see the old man in a few days. Then we can get in touch again."
Hu Yaoqing immediately smiled and nodded at Song Yuanchao. Then Song Yuanchao said nothing more and strode out of the tea room.
