Chapter 242: I'll be back

A courtyard in the capital. Inside the courtyard, the hustle and bustle of the outside world seemed to be instantly isolated, leaving only tranquility.

Zhou Tong was elegantly brewing tea, her hair up in a bun, making her look much more mature.

Han Songlin sat in a rattan chair, his gaze falling on Zhou Tong, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation in his heart.

Last night, on the wedding night, in the bridal chamber, did nothing happen?

I thought that I didn't care, but did I really not care?

Zhou Tong handed Han Songlin a cup of tea and said leisurely, 'The day after tomorrow, I will leave the capital. I have also arranged for the sales of Fule wine in the capital. The person should be here soon, you should meet him!'

Han Songlin didn't know what to say, feeling that Zhou Tong had changed a lot in an instant.

He opened his mouth, and Han Songlin finally said, 'If you go, will you never come back?'

Zhou Tong did not speak immediately. She did not know if she would come back either; last night, Zhou Tong and Wang Tinghe had a long talk.

The Wang family did not only have Wang Tinghe as a son; above him, there were three older brothers.

What did this family inheritance emphasise?

Stability!

Yes, stability.

The succession of the Ming throne should have maintained a certain degree of stability. Except for Zhu Di, an outlier.

The eldest son inherits the throne is the best way for a family.

Don't even consider the best successor, it's unrealistic and there are too many problems.

The ancestors of the Huaguo people have considered this issue for thousands of years and finally discovered that the eldest son inherits the throne is the best.

Wang Tinghe has a role in the Wang family to just eat and wait for death.

Was he happy with that? Of course not.

But there was nothing he could do about it, because that was the reality.

'Maybe one day, I'll come back in a role that will surprise you!'

Han Songlin frowned slightly. What did Zhou Tong mean by that?

He was about to ask her in detail when he heard a knock at the door.

Zhou Tong: 'Come in!'

'Zhou, you wanted to see me?'

'Songlin, this is Zhang Yue, a graduate of Jingcheng University of Posts and Telecommunications. She's in charge of white spirit sales here in Jingcheng.'

Zhang Yue looked quite young, which made Han Songlin a little curious about where Zhou Tong had found this person.

Did Zhou Tong tell Han Songlin that this was a young woman she had rescued in a bar?

Zhang Yue bowed slightly and held out her hand, saying, 'Hello, Chairman Han!'

'Hello! In the future, you will have to take care of the sales here in Beijing.'

'This is what I should do.'

Zhou Tong lifted her handbag and lingered for a long time on Han Songlin's face, and then looked back at the house: 'This house, you can stay here if you come to Beijing in the future. The key is with Zhang Yue, you can ask her for it.'

After saying that, she walked out, looking very carefree.

'I still have things to do, so I'll go first!'

Han Songlin wanted to say something when he saw Zhou Tong leave the door, but in the end he couldn't find the words.

'Zhang Yue, right? Please sit!'

Zhang Yue smiled at Han Songlin and sat down opposite him.

Seeing that Han Songlin's cup was empty, he quickly poured him some tea.

The two sat facing each other, but didn't know what to say.

Later, Luo Xiaozhong arrived.

Knowing that Zhou Tong had left, he didn't say anything.

He just sat down and drank tea together.

Zhang Yue and Luo Xiaozhong obviously knew each other quite well, and Luo Xiaozhong even told Han Songlin a bit about Zhang Yue's situation.

He's a real academic!

Well, nowadays, if you can get into university, you're a real academic.

Zhang Yue soon took his leave.

The whole courtyard was left with just the two men.

'Do you want a drink?'

Han Songlin was silent, shaking his head: 'No!'

'You're the owner of a winery, and you don't want to drink?'

'Just because I'm the owner of a winery, I'm not interested in drinking!'

Luo Xiaozhong looked as if he understood: 'I understand. It's like, after seeing too many beautiful women, you like men instead.'

Han Songlin felt a chill run down his spine. The truth was indeed this truth, but when Luo Xiaozhong said it, it always felt a bit incongruous.

'You don't also like men, do you?'

'What are you talking about? I'm a straight man, a real man!'

Did Han Songlin believe him?

Forget it, just believe it.

'How much do you know about the Wang family?'

Luo Xiaozhong looked at Han Songlin strangely. He didn't think that Han Songlin would bear a grudge against the Wang family just because Zhou Tong married into it, did he?

'What do you want to do? I'm telling you, the Wang family is very powerful. You're just a little guy, so don't do anything rash.'

Han Songlin looked at Luo Xiaozhong in shock. What was he talking about!

'No, what are you thinking? I'm just asking.' Han Songlin naturally wouldn't say that he felt like Zhou Tong's decision to marry into the Wang family seemed a bit like her plan.

What exactly does Zhou Tong want to do?

This makes Han Songlin a little worried.

They are not lovers, but they are friends!

'Zhou Tong is marrying abroad, and I'm a little worried. Southeast Asia is not stable at all. The so-called tycoons are all the white gloves of the powerful.'

In Southeast Asia, businessmen and the powerful are united.

And the system is full of instability.

Today, they are well-off and give orders, but tomorrow they could be prisoners.

Luo Xiaozhong also frowned, as he really knew something about the situation over there.

'This marriage alliance was initiated by the Wang family.'

'The Zhou family just agreed when the Wang family came knocking?'

Luo Xiaozhong shrugged: 'The patriarch of the Zhou family is notoriously stubborn, so you understand.'

'From what I understand, the Wang family is quite wealthy and is involved in many industries, including rubber, sugar, real estate, shipping, ports, etc. Its main strength is concentrated in Siam, and its industries span Southeast Asian countries. In recent years, it has also continued to invest in the country. It seems that last year, it invested 50 million US dollars in the country.'

Han Songlin didn't say anything. This really felt like some kind of behemoth.

Afraid?

Han Songlin really didn't have that kind of emotion.

'Another thing is that I heard there is some instability within the royal family!'

'Internal instability?'

'The three brothers in the front of the royal family are mainly fighting over property.'

Luo Xiaozhong suddenly stopped talking. Before, he hadn't considered so many things. Now that he had talked about it, he suddenly thought of something.

'The marriage alliance between the Zhou and Wang families doesn't seem to be that simple.'

Han Songlin: 'What you mean is that this marriage alliance also involves internal struggles within the royal family?'

'I'm not sure about that either. After all, it's hard for outsiders to understand the internal affairs of the family.'

Han Songlin felt that this was indeed the case.

Thinking about Zhou Tong's words, Han Songlin felt that Zhou Tong had gone black!

Okay, let's not worry about that for now.

Just listen to what the Wang family has to say.

Han Songlin then went to the capital to purchase the supermarket's cash register equipment and asked the manufacturer to send someone to Jiangzhong to help train the staff.

Han Songlin then did not stay in the capital for long, but returned directly to Shuchuan.

Liu Yuyan was a little surprised to see Han Songlin back, and could not understand why he had returned so early.

'The capital is no better than home! Wife, I miss you so much.'

Liu Yuyan was embarrassed when Han Songlin picked her up, and patted his shoulder while saying, 'What are you doing? The children are watching!'

'It's fine, they can watch, they don't understand!'

Han Songlin said, and kissed Liu Yuyan.

Cough!

This sudden cough startled Han Songlin.

'Why are you home?'

Tang Yan was also helpless: 'I'm not feeling well today, so I took the day off!'

Liu Yuyan whispered, 'Tang Yan's period has come!'

'That one?'

'That one!'

Oh, so it comes a few days every month!
