Chapter 215: Internal Struggle within the Su Family!
n you not call me Miss Zhang anymore I’ve never liked others calling me that since childhood. Just call me Miaomiao," said Zhang Miaomiao truthfully. She had always disliked being called 'Miss' in suc...Chapter 215: Internal Strife within the Su Family!
Seeing Shangguan Shishi standing in front of him for protection, Wang Zheng was slightly moved.
However, Shangguan Shishi quickly realized her mistake and her face flushed to her neck instantly.
The State Security's Eleventh Bureau is responsible for international affairs (this will be explained in detail later), with authority that is astonishing. Those who have worked there hold their noses high, looking down on everything else. He Yan had once been a member of this department and was promoted due to his outstanding performance.
But what Wang Zheng found puzzling was how the State Security's Eleventh Bureau got involved with him
Although He Yan held a high position within State Security, given his age and experience, he didn't have complete control over all of State Security. The Eleventh Bureau had never been infiltrated by He Yan. Currently, the head of the Eleventh Bureau was Tao Tangtian, in his forties, an excellent agent出身，與賀岩的關係也不是很好。
For this arrest operation to proceed without Tao Tangtian's consent would be inconceivable for the agents from the Eleventh Bureau. Could it be that Tao Tangtian is affiliated with the Su family
Right now, Wang Zheng was curious about how the Su family would frame him as a spy.
"What are your codenames" asked Wang Zheng with a smile.
"Swift Swallow, Night Eye," replied one of the female agents. Clearly, her codename is "Swift Swallow."
“You have seen the warrant and we’ve told you our codenames. Can you come with us now” Swift Swallow had been instructed to be polite towards Wang Zheng as she knew he wasn't easy to deal with, unlike Night Eye who was arrogant.
"Sure, I will go with you," replied Wang Zheng with a playful smile. With the other side having made their move, he felt confident about handling it and was eager to see what tricks Su Tianran would pull out.
“Wang Zheng, you can’t go!” Shangguan Shishi tried to stop him; although she didn't know what the State Security's Eleventh Bureau did, in Huaxia, "State Security" had a reputation akin to that of FBI and CIA in America. She knew very well that those caught by them were major threats to international security, and once inside, they wouldn’t be easily released, let alone these two who seemed hostile.
“It’s fine; just wait at home for my good news,” Wang Zheng winked at Shangguan Shishi. “As you said, I’m your man now, how can I not take responsibility”
Shangguan Shishi blushed and spat out in frustration before looking into Wang Zheng’s eyes seriously and saying: "You must come back; then I’ll let you touch Sister Sheng Fei's chest."
"Really" Wang Zheng was delighted, but immediately asked with astonishment: “How did you know I touched it”
"She told me," Shi Shi Shangguan's eyes were filled with a mischievous meaning.
Wang Zheng couldn't help but break out in a sweat. Was it possible that when he groped Sheng Fei’s chest that day, she wasn’t actually asleep Oh my God, Wang Zheng had pinched her several times in succession!
"Are you done talking" Seeing the two of them getting cozy and completely ignoring him and his fellow security officer, the male operative named Night Eye couldn't help but become impatient. He wore a disdainful expression on his face: "Done Then let's go."
"Alright," Wang Zheng patted Shi Shi Shangguan and whispered in her ear, "You can rest assured that I’ll make their lives hell inside. Just wait and see the show."
Shi Shi Shangguan was still a bit worried; she wanted to say something but closed her mouth the next moment.
Because Shi Shi Shangguan clearly saw Night Eye take out handcuffs from his waist, shining brightly and very eye-catching.
Wang Zheng’s eyes instantly turned extremely cold.
The top floor of the Imperial Dynasty Hotel in Beijing was where Su Tianran usually did business. Generally speaking, if this young master of the Su family wasn't at the Lixin Estate, he would be here.
"How about it Looks like you took a bit of a beating" Su Tianran looked at Xiao Chenyu sitting on the sofa looking dejected and smiled: "Wang Zheng can definitely be considered your equal."
Xiao Chenyu was indeed feeling somewhat depressed. He had accepted Su Tianran's invitation to come to Beijing, only to lose his first battle to a nobody who made him look like an idiot with bandages on his right arm and some sharp pain in his chest and lungs. Yes, this defeat was truly embarrassing.
"It wasn't too bad, I let my guard down," Xiao Chenyu said in a low voice.
"He used to be one of China's top special forces soldiers who disappeared for four years before returning to cause chaos throughout Beijing." Su Tianran didn’t hide his thoughts: "I want him dead."
"So you thought of me" Xiao Chenyu looked deeply at Su Tianran.
"Yes, that's why I found you. Given our relationship, I believe you’ll help me out with this small favor."
"This isn’t a small favor; I almost got killed. Plus, my right arm is injured." Xiao Chenyu looked at his wounded right arm and added: "There’s no rush.
"How could I not be worried" Su Tianran sighed slightly: "Due to Su Lihuo's coma, the equity documents fell into his hands, and Zhongding has already changed ownership. The Su family was caught off guard without any preparation. Do you know how much money the Su family would lose annually without Zhongding"
"How much" Xiao Chenyu asked with great interest as he looked up.
"This amount." Su Tianran extended one finger and said: "It's fifty times this amount."
"That's a lot." Xiao Chenyu shrugged his shoulders: "But I'm not interested."
Moreover, the diamond industry has been greatly affected. Just in the last quarter, there was a reduction of five hundred million yuan in revenue," Su Tianran narrowed his eyes slightly as well: "To be honest, before, no one dared to challenge the Su family's status in China despite many coveting it. However, ever since Wang Zheng set this precedent, the Li family from Northwest and many other dormant noble families have shown signs of stirring."
"You're telling me all this because you want me to take over Wang Zheng" Xiao Chenyu said nonchalantly.
"I know what interests you," Su Tianran stared at him, saying: "You are interested in experts and battles. Don't worry; there will be things here that you desire."
And I can't wait for too long."
"My injuries need rest and recovery, at least a month." A trace of helplessness flashed across Xiao Chenyu's brows.
"I know," after pausing, Su Tianran continued: "But truly, I cannot wait that long."
“The greatest enemy the Su family faces isn’t external but internal conflict. The Su family is far from as strong and straightforward as it appears on the surface; many people are eyeing my position.” A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Su Tianran's eyes: “Losing Zhongding has led to a sharp decline in year-end dividends, causing much dissatisfaction among members of the family. Some have even openly approached the elder patriarch, demanding that we try someone else."
“It seems your situation is quite precarious; I never imagined that the eldest grandson of such an illustrious family would face these sorts of problems. Why are you explaining all this to me”
"Because I need your help," Su Tianran said.
"Why should I help you" Xiao Chenyu asked in return.
“Because we became friends from then on. Even though it was based on mutual benefit, our friendship is still very deep.”
“That time… It has been quite a while,” Xiao Chenyu leaned back into the sofa with a distant gaze.
At this moment, Su Tianran's office door was suddenly opened. A middle-aged woman wearing glasses and two men in their early twenties walked in with somewhat unfriendly expressions.
"Tianran, I have something to discuss with you," the woman said bluntly without seeking permission.
"Oh What do Fourth Sister and my younger brothers want from me" Su Tianran's tone was cool, seemingly displeased by their unannounced entry into his office.
The middle-aged woman who entered was Su Tianran’s fourth sister, Su Qingli, the granddaughter of his second grandfather. The other two were Su Tianran’s second uncle Su Nan Guo's sons—Su Tianya and Su Tianqi.
"What else could it be"
Su Qingli's tone was icy as she placed two documents on Su Tianran's desk, "Why have you cut everyone's year-end dividends by eighty percent How big of a figure is that Why are you doing this"
“Moreover,” Su Tianya added with clear disdain in his voice, “the annual two million RMB startup fund for all young family members under 30 has been canceled. Do we lack such petty amounts”
The elderly Mr. Su had established a start-up fund to encourage the younger generation of the large clan to strive and grow. Each person received two million yuan annually with hopes that they would achieve something with this financial support. In reality, investing solely with two million was insufficient if one truly wanted to invest in projects. The elder's intention was to promote entrepreneurship among family members and encourage them to be self-reliant rather than relying on the benefits of their ancestors.
However, Su Tianran recently announced a reduction of eighty percent in dividends for all family members as well as取消這些年輕子弟的兩百萬創業基金，這無疑給從小錦衣玉食的蘇家子弟帶來了巨大的打擊。
"Due to the financial strain on our family businesses and the need for cash flow management," Su Tianran's expression was equally cold, "Moreover, I have already stated in the documents that this is a temporary measure."
Su Tianran held no affection towards those within the family who were good-for-nothing yet insisted on hindering progress.
"Temporary How long will this 'temporary' last" Su Tianqi mocked, "Tianran, why does our family's cash flow lack and why is there a financial strain in our business sector As the main person responsible, you need to explain!"
Su Tianya added, "Brother Tianran, as the one managing the family businesses all along, why has this situation occurred"
Su Tianran looked at them coldly and said, “I am responsible for all strategic decisions and bear all consequences. Therefore, I believe there is no need for me to explain.”
"No need to explain" Su Qingli crossed her arms and sneered, "It's because you can't explain it. Do you think we don’t know Zhongding has probably already slipped out of our hands!"
Su Tianran was silent.apanese cabinet puzzled and at a loss for how to proceed.Logically speaking, since Li YePing had retired long ago, he shouldn't have been representing China's top leadership in making such visits anym...
