Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 993 Synthesis of Idols 52

Han Zhiyi did have a certain affection for Xia Zhixing, but this affection could not outweigh his disgust for the Zhong family. Especially after Zhong Tianqi found happiness and Zhong Tianjun could do whatever he wanted, the evil in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Zhonghua was acutely aware of Han Zhiyi's low mood, and saw the darkness that occasionally leaked out of his eyes. However, apart from being secretly frightened, she could not find any effective solution for the time being. She could only focus most of her time and energy on Han Zhiyi, trying to use this method to remind him that he was not alone.

Han Zhiyi was of course grateful for the kindness of his aunt Zhong Hua to him, but he could never let go of Zhong Wei and the brothers Zhong Tianjun and Zhong Tianqi, especially Zhong Wei. After finding out that Zhong Wei was not only unfaithful to Madam Zhong, but even cheated on her with someone else while she was pregnant, Madam Zhong suffered from depression during her pregnancy, and her postpartum disorder aggravated her condition, so she eventually died of depression.

As for the brothers Zhong Tianjun and Zhong Tianqi, they should have been as innocent as him, but the happy atmosphere between the brothers was what he had longed for from the beginning, so he couldn't help but vent his anger on them.

As for Xia Zhixing, who started working at E-shine and was being trained vigorously, Han Zhiyi actually thought about using Xia Zhixing to completely destroy E-shine, but he was always hesitating whether to do so.

While Han Zhiyi was still hesitating, the second largest director of E-shine Group had already taken action. His surname was Zheng, and he had always been dissatisfied with Zhong Wei's dominance. He had long wanted to kick the Zhong family out and become the boss himself.

However, E-shine had survived several crises with great difficulty. Director Zheng's children had grown up, and he also wanted his children to join the group to take charge of some important affairs. However, the ability of this little Zheng was far from comparable to that of Zhong Tianjun, and Zhong Tianqi's wife Ou Yaruo had made real money with everyone.

So Director Zheng decided to go all out and bribed the people at the warehouse to replace a batch of genuine gems with imitation and radioactive toxic jewels. He also framed Zhong Tianjun in the hope of cutting off the Zhong family's connections and future in the group. Once he called the police, the group's stock price would fall, and he could increase his holdings at a low price. If he handled the situation well, he could even become a major shareholder in one fell swoop and completely replace the Zhong family's position in the group.

Director Zheng was also very cunning. He was able to use the clues from Zhong Hua to find Han Zhiyi, Zhong Wei's illegitimate son. Han Zhiyi listened to the other party's secretly proud yet tempting words. He had to say that he was really moved by what the other party said about Zhong Wei's miserable death.

Zhonghua still doesn't know that her nephew Han Zhiyi has been secretly in contact with people with ulterior motives in the company, and has even been involved in illegal activities, but recently she can feel more and more clearly that Han Zhiyi's repression is about to explode.

There was no other way, Zhong Hua could only arrange various jobs for Han Zhiyi. Anyway, Han Zhiyi was a model, so he arranged for him to take more advertising shoots in all over the country, including Europe, North America, East Asia, and even New Zealand.

At the same time, Susan and Katrina were also busy. A big boss was about to go bankrupt. After Katrina's father Cosmo got the news, he advised Susan to exchange the cash in her hands for other assets as much as possible. He also recommended some valuable farms, wineries, castles, etc. Susan even found several energy companies and steel companies in the list.

Susan had no interest in the companies, but thought that someone might be interested in them, so she contacted people she knew who might be interested in these companies. She picked out a few wineries and castles, but ignored the farms because the castles themselves came with a lot of land.

There happened to be ranches in New Zealand and Canada, so Susan took them over as well.

But it would take some time to deal with these assets, so Susan and Katrina packed up and went there in person. Thanks to Cosmo's proper arrangements, Susan was able to get almost all the assets she liked, and even several assets that she had originally thought she might not be able to get. This was really an extra surprise.

Zhonghua paid even more attention to Susan than Ou Yaruo, her nephew's wife who was about to bring her nephew and grandchildren. However, this trip was kept secret by Cosmo himself. So even if Zhonghua had the means to completely inherit her husband's estate, she did not receive the news immediately because she had offended her husband's family. So after Susan made a public appearance, she used Ou Yaruo as an excuse to send out an invitation.

Susan admired her senior Zhong Hua, who was also in the jewelry business. Of course, the most important thing was that Zhong Hua was open-minded enough, which was different from that old man Zhong Wei, so Susan agreed to the appointment.

Zhonghua is a very experienced person. From his conversations with Ou Yaruo, he judged that Susan did not like any formalities, so he arranged Chinese food for the dinner that day. "The seafood in this season is very good. There are also several traditional Chinese cooking methods and some local specialties. I hope you like it."

After some pleasantries about the dishes, Zhonghua introduced Han Zhiyi. It was the first time for Han Zhiyi to meet Susan up close. Everything about Susan seemed out of reach and unreal. Even though Susan was right next to him, chatting happily with his aunt Zhonghua, he still felt confused.

When Susan saw Han Zhiyi for the first time, she was sure that this young man was related to Zhong Hua and Zhong Wei. However, considering the relationship between Zhong Hua and his wife that was praised by the outside world, and comparing it with the rumors told by Ms. Su Lixiang that Zhong Wei had cheated on his wife when she was pregnant with Zhong Tianqi, Susan felt that it was more likely that Han Zhiyi was Zhong Wei's illegitimate son.

Of course, the relationship between Zhonghua and her husband was not the main reason why Susan did not doubt her. The real reason was that Zhonghua still controlled all the property from her husband. If she had an illegitimate child, her husband's family would never let her take away such a huge asset.

Susan sighed inwardly and decided to tell Zhong Tianqi the news when she returned, so that Zhong Wei would not get carried away and do something detrimental to the brothers Zhong Tianjun and Zhong Tianqi.

Of course, Susan’s consideration was not the assets in Zhong Wei’s hands. She was worried that Zhong Wei’s illegitimate son would make trouble at Zhong Wei’s funeral, and Ou Yaruo would be one of the people who would be embarrassed.

When they had almost finished eating, Zhong Hua directly stated his intention to use Susan as a breakthrough point and to get a share of the pie in the next family crisis. Susan would certainly not refuse directly, but she said that she was able to get the information because of her friendship with Katrina's family.
