Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 208 Dad, Be Alert
The government officials only had a cursory understanding of the situation and confirmed that the drunkards who were thrown into the river by the factory were fine, so they closed the case and did not pursue the matter.

They also don't want to have any conflicts with the internal factory.

"Shopkeeper! Pay!"

Chen Zhengye spoke loudly. This was his last act of stubbornness. He still had to pay the money. Even though he was beaten, he still had to maintain his momentum.

Chen Ce was in the spotlight just now, and this time he must also be in the spotlight no matter what.

The owner of Cuiwei Tower just rushed back at this time. Seeing Chen Zhengye beaten like this, he kept apologizing.

"Sir, please don't pay for this meal."

Chen Zhengye snorted and said, "Am I someone who can't afford to pay? Just pay it as much as it should be!"

Ning Zhijun is watching over there, how can I not give him the money?

But who would have thought that Liang Dongjia of Cuiwei Tower in Linhu Lake would say, "Sir, I really can't take this money. Please tell Chen Dongjia that it was all my fault today."

"If I had known that Mr. Chen was coming here for dinner, I would have accompanied him personally. But something like this happened, and I feel really bad for disturbing Mr. Chen."

Chen Zhengye snorted and said, "It's good for you to know!"

He thought that when Manager Liang called him "Master Chen", he was referring to himself, and he didn't associate it with Chen Ce at all.

Ning Zhijun asked the shopkeeper of Cuiwei Tower curiously, "Are you talking about Mr. Chen?"

Shopkeeper Liang said, "Master Chen Ce, isn't he your friend?"

Damn it?

After all this time, you are talking about Chen Ce?

Chen Zhengye was dumbfounded.

"What kind of boss is he? He hasn't taken over the business in Hangzhou." Chen Zhengye said.

Shopkeeper Liang: “?”

What Hangzhou Prefecture?

He smiled and said to Ning Zhijun, "Miss, don't you know? The owner of Shuntian Newspaper is Master Chen Ce."

Ning Zhijun was stunned for a moment. He was actually the boss behind Shuntian Press?
Ning Zhijun also learned about Shuntian Press in detail. The more she learned, the more she was willing to cooperate with the owner who controlled Shuntian Press behind the scenes. However, she never expected that it would be Chen Ce!

Chen Zhengye widened his eyes and asked in disbelief: "Who do you say Chen Ce is?"

"Haha, you must be mistaken, how could he be..."

How could he be the owner of Shuntian Newspaper? How is that possible? This is not right!

At first they also planned to follow suit in Hangzhou, but with an order from the imperial court, merchants were no longer allowed to open newspapers. It was a pity. At first, the Chen family’s first choice for business transformation was Shuntian Newspapers, but they had to choose Shuntian Express later.

He never imagined that Chen Ce would become the owner of Shuntian Press.
Shopkeeper Liang said hurriedly, "To be honest, I went to see Mr. Chen today. If it weren't for him, this Cuiwei Tower might not be able to continue operating. I originally planned to sell it to Mr. Chen at a low price, but Mr. Chen was kind and helped me solve some problems."

"Since you are all friends of Mr. Chen, please come to Cuiwei Tower and find me. I will reserve a private room for you at any time."

It turns out that Chen Ce is serious about this. He really plans to acquire Cuiwei Building?
Chen Zhengye was stunned. Thinking about the boasting he had just made at the banquet, about reserving a private room for Chen Ce in the future, he now wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into!

Eh? Why did Miss Ning leave?

Could it be that she thinks Chen Ce is better than her?
He is a tuberculosis patient. You must not be confused! I am healthy! At least my health is better than his. You see, I was beaten so badly but nothing happened to me.

……

Daxiangguo Temple Street.

Ning Mansion.

"Dad, so Shuntian Press is Chen Ce's business?"

Ning Cheng nodded.

Ning Zhijun frowned and asked, "Who is he?"

Ning Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, Dad only knows a little about him now. If he is healthy, Dad would like you to marry him as soon as possible." "Maybe it's still too late for our Ning family to marry into a rich family."

Ning Zhijun said in confusion: "Dad, don't underestimate yourself. You are at least a doctor in the Ministry of Rites."

Ning Cheng sighed, "What if Dad told you that I was promoted to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Rites because of Chen Ce's reputation?"

Ning Zhijun couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and asked in astonishment, "Really?"

Ning Cheng said: "So, Dad only has a vague understanding of him and has no idea what earth-shattering things he has done in private."

"Hey."

Ning Cheng sighed and said, "It's a pity that his illness can't be cured. Otherwise, Dad wouldn't be blind. How could he miss such an excellent talent?"

"But Dad can't entrust you to him for life."

"He won't live long."

"The eldest son of the Chen family is not bad either. He passed the examination this year and has a bright future."

"His father mentioned it to me. What do you think?"

Ning Zhijun looked at Ning Cheng suspiciously and asked, "What?"

Ning Cheng said: "As for marriage, you are not young anymore."

Ning Zhijun shook his head and said, "Dad, I don't like Chen Zhengye very much."

"Why?" Ning Cheng was puzzled. "Isn't he very good? He is also talented. The poem he wrote for the Wanggong Temple is amazing enough. Don't you admire him very much?"

Ning Zhijun said: "I am beginning to doubt that the two couplets in Wanggong Temple might not have been written by him."

Ok?
"Why?"

Ning Zhijun shook his head and said, "I don't know. It just doesn't feel like him."

……

"Dad, dad!"

Chen Zhengye found Chen Boxin.

Chen Boqin looked at his son in astonishment, "How did you become like this?"

Chen Zhengye said indifferently: "I was beaten, it doesn't matter."

This is not important. If they had hit you harder, you would have been beaten to death.

Chen Zhengye said: "That Chen Ce, he he he, he is the owner of Shuntian Newspaper!"

Chen Boqin said calmly, "Zhengye, you were beaten silly, why are you talking nonsense?"

Chen Boxin really had no way to connect the owner of Shuntian Press and Chen Ce together.

"real!"

"The owner of Linhu Cuiwei Tower said this himself. And judging from his tone, Chen Ce seems to have some face among the Shuntian officials."

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. Chen Boxin said, "Okay, let's find a doctor to treat him right away."

Chen Zhengye shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm serious!"

"Isn't that Shuntian Express also his business? We have to be careful. No matter how I look at that guy, he seems to be something more than a nobody!"

"He obviously has such great abilities, yet he can still pretend to be so calm in front of us. I don't believe he doesn't have any big plans!"

Chen Boqin laughed and said, "You are getting more and more ridiculous. You are frightened today. Listen to your father and go find a doctor to treat you. Don't talk nonsense anymore."

Chen Zhengye: "Dad, I'm not guessing blindly. Be alert!"

There's no need to be vigilant. The contract has been signed and it's in black and white in our hands. What kind of problem can there be?
