Chapter 512: A Grand Feast
Chen Yangzhe's bold operations of Shunyang Group completely turned the trade with the Soviet Union into a huge feast. Almost all the chaebols in South Korea were jealous and joined the game. There were reckless operators like Chen Dongji, and there were also cautious and secretive ones like Chairman Zhu of Daying. Anyway, they were all like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own magical powers.

Then Suning, the central figure of this trade incident, spent his Spring Festival honestly. Now he no longer has the anger he had at the beginning, as if all this has nothing to do with him.

This surprised Chen Yangzhe, who had been secretly observing Suning. Suning's unusual behavior actually made Chen Yangzhe very confused. This was the first time he encountered a target that he could not see through, and the other party was a thirteen-year-old child.

"I believe everyone knows about our Shunyang's recent movements. Shunyang has also reached a new level because of this. So as a fair and just transaction, I decided to give 3% of Shunyang Group's shares to Chen Hengjun." Chen Yangzhe announced publicly at the New Year's Eve banquet.

"What? Dad, no!" Chen Yongji and Chen Huarong became excited.

"Grandpa, thank you for your kindness, but I really am not prepared to accept it. After all, these two companies don't belong to me." Suning was fed up with Chen Yangzhe's tactics and was afraid that he would disgust him again one day.

"What? Are you still upset that I, your grandfather, stole your toy?" Chen Yangzhe looked at Su Ning meaningfully.

"Grandpa, Hyungjun wouldn't dare."

"Hmph! Since you don't dare, then stop refusing." Chen Yangzhe said with finality.

When Director Li Hengcai handed the 3% share document to Su Ning, Su Ning noticed that the eyes of almost everyone present were following the document in Director Li's hand, and they all showed extremely greedy expressions.

"Master Hengjun, this is 3% of Shunyang Group's shares. Please confirm it yourself." Director Li handed the share document to Su Ning and explained with a smile.

"Director Li, I believe you won't make a mistake." Su Ning took the document and handed it to his mother Li Hairen beside him.

"Ah?" All the eyes that were staring at the document showed disappointment, and they really wanted to see the magical document with their own eyes.

"Hengjun! You'd better open it and confirm it!" Chen Huarong looked at Suning with a forced smile.

"Aunt, Director Li has been with Grandpa for so many years. I believe he won't make any mistakes."

"So, Hengjun, do you trust me as your grandfather, or do you trust Director Li Hengcai more?" At this time, Chen Yangzhe suddenly looked at Su Ning with great interest.

"Grandpa, Director Li is your assistant. Everything he does comes from you. I believe he trusts you."

"Well, not bad! It seems you are quite smart." Chen Yangzhe nodded without comment.

"Hengjun! I heard that Zheng Zeqiang, the former general manager of Tycoon Shipping, is very capable. Why don't we let him come to work for your aunt temporarily?" After hearing the conversation between Su Ning and Chen Yangzhe, many people present felt uncomfortable. Chen Huarong looked at Su Ning with a forced smile.

"Yes! Hengjun, since you no longer have any property under your name, let David Jones come to work for your uncle." Chen Yongji on the side also looked at Suning with a smile, but his expression seemed as if he couldn't wait to divide Suning up.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm not actually in charge of the company. It's always been handled by Uncle Gaoqiao Yanyi." Seeing Chen Yongji and Chen Huarong being so shameless, as if they were going to take advantage of him completely, Su Ning explained with a childlike innocence, "However, I heard Uncle Gaoqiao say that he found David Jones and Zheng Zeqiang from a consulting firm called Korn Ferry International. You can contact Korn Ferry International on your own."

"Enough! Our Shunyang Group must not use people recommended by headhunting companies. It is most suitable for us to train our own people." Chen Yangzhe stopped several people from talking.

"Yes! Father."

"Yes! Grandpa."

Because of Chen Yangzhe's forced obstruction, the few of them ended the topic, and at the same time ended Chen Yongji and Chen Huarong's entanglement with Suning, and finally made Suning no longer feel so disgusted.

Looking at the faces of the Chen family members in front of him, Suning felt indescribable disgust. Everyone was fighting for their own interests. In fact, this was nothing wrong, but what all of them were doing now was too much, and it could be said to be shameless.

Seeing Suning easily get 3% of the group's shares, everyone felt a heart bleeding. You know, Chen Xingjun, the eldest grandson of the eldest house, didn't have any shares yet. They couldn't help but have wild thoughts, but thinking of the huge profits that the trading company brought to them, they could only hide their unwillingness temporarily.

Chen Runji and Li Hairen took their two sons to bid farewell to Zhengxinzhai, and then ended this not-so-joyful New Year's Eve dinner. The suffocating feeling of the family of four was relieved a lot.

"Runji! Your family is really going too far. Isn't it obvious that they are bullying us?" Li Hairen looked at her husband angrily.

"Hain, those two companies originally belonged to Sunyang. It's understandable that father takes them back now. Isn't this also compensating Hyungjun for his 3% of the group's shares?" Chen Runji comforted his wife with a wry smile.

"Humph!"

Although Chen Runji himself felt uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything now. Not only because of his embarrassing identity as an illegitimate child, but also because he had decided to sever ties with Shunyang Group more than ten years ago.

At first, Chen Runji didn't take the two companies seriously, but seeing the attitudes of Chen Yongji and Chen Huarong today, they suddenly realized that Chen Yongji and Chen Huarong must have taken a great advantage, otherwise it would not have been so easy for Suning to get the 3% stake.

Looking at his two sensible and well-behaved sons, the usually calm Chen Runji also changed. He suddenly felt that what he wanted was not what his sons wanted, and what he had been giving up might be what his sons were fighting for desperately.

Now that Suning holds these 3% shares, not only have Chen Yongji and Chen Huarong's mentality changed, but Chen Daojun also looks at his silly brother with a complicated expression.

Seeing his silly brother's different performance from the original time and space, Chen Daojun felt a little flustered. In his impression, Chen Hengjun should be a mediocre man who was engaged in the film and television industry which had nothing to do with Shunyang Group.

But now Chen Hengjun has suddenly become so outstanding. If his time travel causes a butterfly effect, then his biggest advantage as a time traveler will be gone. So Chen Daojun is full of anxiety at this time.

Of course, it is also possible that Chen Hengjun was originally so outstanding, but he lost in the subsequent struggle for family property and was hidden by the later winner Shunyang. Chen Daojun hopes that Chen Hengjun was originally so outstanding and might even become his helper in revenge.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Chen Runji's family had gone to bed early. Su Ning, who was half asleep, suddenly felt something crawling onto his bed. He shuddered and woke up immediately to look, and then his eyes met Chen Daojun's.

"Ah" Before Su Ning could scream, his mouth was blocked by Chen Daojun's small hand.

"Brother, it's me! Chen Daojun!"

"Daojun, what are you doing? Are you trying to scare people by pretending to be a ghost?" Su Ning angrily looked at his younger brother. "Brother, I can't sleep tonight. Can I sleep with you?" Chen Daojun looked at Su Ning with a cute and adorable look. If you didn't know better, you would really be fooled by this guy.

"Okay! But you'd better be honest." Su Ning guessed that Chen Daojun must have his purpose.

The two Chen brothers lay down again and covered themselves with the quilt, but did not wait for Chen Daojun to ask any questions. Su Ning knew that this guy was pretending to be innocent, so he stopped paying attention to him and started to compete with Chen Daojun secretly.

Seeing that his silly brother was about to fall asleep again, Chen Daojun gave in helplessly. He kept shaking his silly brother and asked him in a cute tone, "Brother, who is Takahashi Iwaichi?"

"Huh? Do you really want to know?" Su Ning looked at Chen Daojun with amusement.

"Yes! I asked my father and mother, but they always refused to tell me."

"Iwaichi Takahashi is a Japanese, a top student majoring in finance at Tokyo Imperial University. He has worked on Wall Street in the United States for many years and is known as the Wolf of Wall Street." After hearing Chen Daojun's question, Su Ning gave a detailed introduction.

"Ah? So amazing! What else?" Chen Daojun's eyes lit up.

"Also, he fell in love with our mother at first sight and was willing to give up his job on Wall Street to become her broker. Later, because of our parents' love and marriage, my father severed ties with the Shunyang Group. Takahashi Iwaichi was also implicated in this incident and was banned by the Shunyang Group."

"Ah? Is it so ridiculous? What else?"

"You already know what happened later. Grandpa gave three branches to Dad, and then Dad gave me two. Uncle Takahashi Iwaichi did his best to help me run them. Just when the company was starting to get off the ground, Grandpa and his family took it back."

"Brother, judging by their performance today, these two companies are definitely very powerful."

"I don't know! Anyway, I don't manage the company. Uncle Takahashi Iwaichi is usually in charge."

"."

Hearing his silly brother's understatement, Chen Daojun couldn't help but feel disappointed. It seemed that Chen Hengjun was still the idiot in his impression, but he was lucky to have Gao Qiao Yanyi to help him. Chen Daojun began to feel sorry for Gao Qiao Yanyi at this time.

"Brother, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Oh? What is it? Tell me."

"Brother, can you let Uncle Takahashi Iwaichi be my teacher?"

"Haha, why don't you just discuss it with Mom and Dad? I don't care anyway."

"Really? Thank you so much, brother."

"Daojun, don't be too happy yet. Grandpa has always hated Uncle Takahashi Yanyi. Are you really ready to go against Grandpa's determination?"

"Ah?" Chen Daojun, who was surprised just now, looked dumbfounded.

"Daojun, if you have made up your mind, just go find your father and mother. I will definitely not stop you."

"Brother, I."

"Okay! Go to sleep! Sleeping is the most comfortable." Su Ning stopped Chen Daojun from saying the next words, and then lay down in a comfortable sleeping position.

Looking at Su Ning sleeping comfortably, Chen Daojun felt particularly depressed. He suddenly felt the pain of having to choose between having one's cake and eating it too. If he wanted to get Takahashi Iwaichi's support and help, he would have to face his grandfather Chen Yangzhe's disgust. This was really a dilemma.

During the Spring Festival of 1988, Chen Dongji also returned to Seoul from Hong Kong. However, his arrogant look showed that he was full of pride in his heart. However, judging from the scale of the business he now controlled, it was indeed worth his publicity.

He also bought a luxury house in Hong Kong, which is much more luxurious than Chen Runji's house in Hong Kong. Because he also knows that he is a dragon from across the river, he tries his best to build good relationships with the bigwigs in Hong Kong.

In this way, he delivered business cards and generous gifts to the homes of almost all the bigwigs in Hong Kong, but after going around, he found that only the leaders of the local gangs were willing to make friends with him. The real bigwigs still disliked Chen Dongji's arrogance.

For these Hong Kong tycoons, whether it was the former Chen Runji or the current Chen Dongji, they are just colleagues in the business circle. At most, they can become partners in the future. In fact, they have little impact on them now.

But people are afraid of being compared with each other. After seeing such an arrogant and domineering Chen Dongji, these big guys found that they still liked Chen Runji. At least Chen Runji was low-key, pragmatic and not arrogant.

It is not difficult to guess what happened in the Chen family in Seoul. This kind of drama of family struggles among the rich is played out every day all over the world. However, Chen Yangzhe's robbery of his grandson's property still makes these older generations despise him.

In addition, they really don't like Chen Dongji, so they are not very willing to interact with Chen Dongji. At most, they maintain superficial greetings. However, the community in Hong Kong likes Chen Dongji very much.

In the eyes of Chen Dongji, the son of a tycoon, these societies are the local tyrants in Hong Kong. Hong Kong societies want to ride on the giant ship of Shunyang Trade and make a fortune in the trade with the Soviet Union. Chen Dongji also wants to operate stably in Hong Kong, and then the two sides hit it off and work together.

Looking at the complacent second-in-command Chen Dongji, Suning felt like he was looking at a clown. Although Chen Dongji always smiled when he saw him, he knew that his smile concealed Chen Dongji's viciousness and treachery.

"Hyungjun! I really want to thank you!"

"Second Uncle, I'm so miserable now, do you still need to mock me?"

"Hey, Hengjun! Uncle is very good to you. This is your grandfather's order, so I can't just not do it!"

Looking at the guy in front of him who was taking advantage of him, Suning really wanted to punch him hard in the face, but thinking of Chen Dongji's status as an elder, Suning could only hide his anger and wait quietly for Chen Dongji to fall from the high point.
