The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 123 Asking for help
"I have to go on a business trip for a few days again. Yes, it's a last-minute decision. You stay at home and don't run around. Let's see if I can catch up by then. OK, that's it."

Zhong Yun called his niece Wen Xiaoyue again. He did not tell her about the things at home so as not to worry her and affect her studies.

School is about to start in a few days, and the stressful senior year of high school will truly begin.

"Your current expression reminds me of my aunt." Meng Jiaen couldn't bear it and said, "Xiaoyue is already so old, I believe she can adjust well, there is no need to hide this kind of thing from her. When she finds out in the future, she will definitely blame you."

"you're right."

Zhong Yun didn't even raise his head while replying to the message. When he was on the phone, he saw that Huang Wenchao had sent him a message asking if something had happened at home.

He knew that it was Wang Shanshan who asked the question, and then Huang Wenchao asked him, so he simply replied.

Meng Jiaen laughed angrily, "And you're determined not to change? Can you act more seriously and not let me see that you're just being perfunctory?"

"Think about it, if someone says something against his will, but can say it so sincerely that you think he is speaking from the heart, wouldn't you find it scary?"

"So you can just treat me perfunctorily with a clear conscience, right?"

"That's okay if you want to understand."

……

When Zhong Yun rushed to the county hospital, it was already past ten o'clock. He originally wanted to tell Meng Jiaen not to get in, but she had already pushed open the car door and got out.

He knew it was useless to say anything, so he simply stopped talking and took her directly to the ward.

After going upstairs and pushing the door, I found that this was a separate ward. My father was lying on the bed, receiving an IV. My mother, sister, and brother-in-law were all there, chatting. It was obvious that the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

As soon as Meng Jiaen entered the door, she greeted them politely, "Uncle, aunt, sister, this must be my brother-in-law."

Zhang Yuzhen stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"

"I heard that my uncle was in trouble. I was very worried, so I asked him to bring me to see him. Uncle, are you okay?"

Zhong Lei smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm in good health. I just came here for a checkup."

Meng Jiaen put a fruit basket on the table nearby and said, "I came here in a hurry, so I bought some fruit on the way."

"Have a heart."

Zhang Yuzhen asked them, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll make it for you when I get home."

Zhong Yun held her back and said, "No, I ate on the way."

Then he asked, "Why is there a separate ward?"

Zhang Yuzhen asked curiously, "Didn't you ask your friend to arrange this?"

"what?"

When Zhong Yun asked, he found out that Huang Zhiyuan came specially to arrange a separate ward for his father.

He felt warm in his heart, knowing that Huang Wenchao must have told Huang Zhiyuan about this.

Zhang Yuzhen said, "You have to thank your friend very much. I heard that you can't get into this high-end ward without connections."

"understood."

……

"Brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work today." Zhong Yun was chatting with his brother-in-law Wen Xiankun in the corridor.

"Whatever you say, we are all family."

"How are things going now?"

"The police came to question us, and there is video evidence that the other party broke into the house and pushed my father down. He cannot escape responsibility. However, since there are no obvious external injuries, it is estimated that it will not be enough for criminal detention, and the most he can get is administrative detention. So far, no one from their family has come to discuss compensation. I am afraid that we will have to resort to litigation in the end."

Wen Xiankun explained the matter in detail.

Zhong Yun also knew that it was difficult to send the other party to prison. With Shi Weicai's greed for money, he would probably rather stay in the detention center for a few days than pay compensation.

Besides, the Shi family has a relative who is a director and has some power. Maybe he is counting on that relative to get him out.

He said, "Brother-in-law, you guys go back first, I'll be here."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Wen Xiankun took his wife back first.

When we got in the car, he said, "That's the girl you mentioned last time. She's so pretty. Her temperament is so different from those of us in small towns."

Zhong Xia sighed and said, "I didn't expect that she would follow me again this time."

"Isn't this good? It proves that she has deep feelings for Xiaoyun."

"That's what worries me more. The deeper Xiaoyun falls in love now, the more painful it will be in the future. There's too big a gap between them. Now they're in the honeymoon period and everything seems new to them. If they stay together for too long, the girl won't be able to handle it. They're not from the same world and will break up sooner or later. When that happens, Xiaoyun will be even more hurt."

Zhong Xia still didn't think highly of the two of them. The gap between them was too big. His brother's personality wasn't the kind of person who could be humble.

"Who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe Xiaoyun will become rich soon?"

"Do you think making money is that easy? Why haven't you become rich in all these years?"

Wen Xiankun really shut up and concentrated on driving. It would be unwise to say anything more at this time.

...After Zhong Yun returned to the ward, he asked his mother and Meng Jiaen to go back, and he would be alone here.

After they left, we ordered some takeout and had barbecue together.

Zhong Lei was eating grilled tofu skin and suddenly said, "Your girlfriend is pretty good, much better than the last one. This one looks like a young lady, but she has a very good personality. Your ex-girlfriend came from an ordinary family, but she developed a young lady's personality and couldn't stand any hardship."

Zhong Yun was eating roasted lamb and said, "She's really not my girlfriend."

Zhong Lei said, "Have you ever thought about why she treats me and your mother so well? It's because of you. Otherwise, why would she give us gifts and call us uncle and aunt if we are just two old men and women?"

"She must like you very much. Nowadays, there are not many good girls like you. You must cherish her and don't let her down."

Zhong Yun decisively changed the subject, "How's your blood sugar lately? Is the insulin you changed last time working well?"

Zhong Lei said, "Don't lose hope in marriage just because of a failed relationship. I'm old and in poor health now, so I've let go of everything. My only wish is to have a grandson in my arms while I'm still alive."

Zhong Yun said, "Don't worry about this. Even if I don't get married in the future, I will definitely have a child. When the time comes, I will let you name him."

Zhong Lei finally felt relieved after getting his assurance. He quietly reached out to take the skewers, but Zhong Yun grabbed his hand and said, "It's agreed, only one skewer. No more."

After saying that, he ruthlessly took away all the skewers and went outside on the balcony to eat them.

Zhong Lei shook his head and lay back on the bed. After a while, he began to snore softly.

A lot of things happened today. People came and went in the ward, and I didn’t get much rest. I was really sleepy.

……

seven in the morning.

Xia Siyin woke up on time. After opening her eyes, she stared at the ceiling for a few seconds, slowly sat up, and got up to wash.

At 7:20, assistant Wang Shanshan came with breakfast.

After breakfast, she sat on the sofa, drank coffee, took out her mobile phone, opened the forum, saw a new private message, and clicked it.

She was the first to send the private message to the other party, asking a question: what should be done to show courtesy when visiting the man’s hospitalized father for the first time?

The other party's ID was "阅尽千帆" and judging by the wording, she should be a woman. In that rescue post, she was given several useful suggestions.

That's why she sent a private message to the other party.

Mainly for things like this, she had no one else to ask, so she could only seek help online.

"This is your chance to show off. The first time you visit a patient, buy him flowers and a fruit basket. Then deliver meals three times a day and show your attentiveness. That man will definitely be very touched..."

The reply was very long. Xia Siyin read it very carefully. Before she knew it, she had finished a cup of coffee. She put down the cup and replied, "Thank you for your advice, enthusiastic netizen."

……

When going out, Wang Shanshan looked at President Xia beside her and was a little worried. Without Zhong Yun, could she take the elevator?

Ding.

The elevator has arrived.

Xia Siyin walked in, with no sign of abnormality on her face.

Wang Shanshan finally felt relieved. The elevator went all the way to the garage and Mr. Xia looked normal.

She asked, "Mr. Xia, are you okay?"

"Ah."

Wang Shanshan suddenly realized that she was already well, but she still asked Zhong Yun to pick her up upstairs every day...

Thinking of this, she felt a little unhappy.

She was driving a Maybach today, which was also the company car.

"Boss Xia, according to what you said, this time I am going there on a business trip."

Wang Shanshan reported while driving, "Before, the group had a project to cooperate with a local company to develop a tourist area. Later, due to some changes, the project was shelved."

At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, "This project was approved by the former CEO Jiang An, who invested more than 100 million yuan, and it is now suspended. It just so happened that some time ago, the local company wanted to restart the project, but CEO Jiang was unwilling to invest in it anymore."

Xia Siyin nodded. When she decided to look for Zhong Yun yesterday, she thought of this project. So it would be reasonable for her to go there.

Wang Shanshan continued, "I contacted the person in charge of that company last night, and they will receive us then."

“How strong is that company?”

"Not good. The company founder got into trouble and was arrested, and several real estate projects have been left unfinished. He probably had a premonition that something would go wrong, so he divested several of the better projects early on. The company under his daughter's name includes projects that were in cooperation with the group."

"It's just that the strength of this company is far from what it used to be. It can't even meet the requirements for cooperation with the group."

"Why did Jiang An cooperate in developing this project at that time?"

Wang Shanshan said, "I don't know. Jiang An was the one who pushed for this project, and other people didn't really agree with it. Later, the project failed, and Jiang Qizhe took the opportunity to make trouble, but he was suppressed by the board of directors in the end."

When Xia Siyin heard this, there was a thoughtful look in her eyes.
