Chapter 545: Ancestors' Glory
These days, Chen Runji went to Hong Kong to handle work matters, but he accidentally saw his eldest son's girlfriend, Jin Minzhu, shopping with a child in her arms. Chen Runji was stunned at the time.

"Uncle, hello! I am Jin Minzhu." Jin Minzhu thought that Chen Runji didn't know her, so she hurried forward and introduced herself.

"Ah! I know you. Who is the child in your arms?" Looking at the child in Jin Minzhu's arms, Chen Runji suddenly had a bad guess in his mind.

"Uncle, his name is Chen Xiangzong."

"Ah? Could it be him?" Chen Runji looked at the child in disbelief.

"Yes! Uncle, Xiang Zong is the son of me and Hengjun." Jin Minzhu answered with certainty.

Chen Runji was undoubtedly furious at this moment, because he himself was born an illegitimate child, and he never expected that his son would also have an illegitimate child. However, he could only suppress his anger temporarily, "Xiang Zong, come and let grandpa hug you."

Although the child was only one year old and it was his first time seeing his grandfather, he did not seem afraid at all. Instead, he stayed obediently in his grandfather's arms. This made Chen Runji very excited. He did not expect that he would become a grandfather at such a young age.

"Minzhu, you have been wronged. I will definitely let Hengjun give an explanation to you and your mother." Chen Runji hugged his grandson and assured Jin Minzhu in front of him.

"Uncle, I have already made an agreement with Hengjun. I don't need any status. As long as he treats us mother and me well, that's enough." Jin Minzhu explained with a smile.

"Minzhu, what job do you do now?" Chen Runji was a little surprised at this time.

"Uncle, Hengjun asked me to be in charge of the Hengtu Hotel. I have a lot of work to do, so Xiangzong is left to his grandparents to take care of him."

"Ah? That's a good arrangement. If you and your mother need anything, just tell your uncle. Don't be shy."

"Thank you uncle."

During this trip to Hong Kong, Chen Runji unexpectedly saw his daughter-in-law and grandson, which was something he had never expected. He then stayed for two more days and met with his in-laws a few times before leaving Hong Kong and returning to Seoul.

"Chen Hengjun, come to my study for a moment. I have something to ask you." As soon as Chen Runji returned home in Seoul, he said to his eldest son with a sour face.

"Mom, what happened to my dad?" Su Ning asked Li Hairen in surprise in a low voice.

"I don't know! It became like this as soon as your father came back."

Su Ning followed Chen Runji to the study with a puzzled look on his face, then looked at Chen Runji with a smile and asked, "Dad, is there anything wrong?"

"Hyungjun, this time I went to Hong Kong and met Kim Minjoo. If I remember correctly, she seems to be your girlfriend, right?" Chen Runji asked straight to the point.

"Yes! Dad, you should have seen Xiang Zong too, right?"

"Chen Hengjun, you know that I am an illegitimate child, but why do you do this?" Looking at his eldest son who didn't care, Chen Runji was extremely angry at this time.

"Dad, I know what you care about most, but Grandpa and I are completely different." Su Ning also understood Chen Runji's mentality, and then said his true thoughts, "In my eyes, there is no difference between illegitimate children and legitimate children. They are all my sons."

"Chen Hengjun, do you really think there is no difference?" Chen Runji absolutely did not believe it at this time, because he himself was a victim of illegitimate child.

"There's no difference!" Su Ning assured him firmly again, then suddenly smiled and asked Chen Runji, "Dad, aren't you curious why the child is named Xiang Zong?"

"why?"

"Dad, I named my child "Ancestors' Glory." Suning explained with a smile.

"The glory of our ancestors?"

"Yes! Actually, you have an older grandson in Ukraine. He's the child of my former Russian teacher Natasha. His name is Chen Xiangzu, and he's three years old this year."

"What? How could you do this?" Chen Runji was really speechless about his son.

"Dad, meeting each other is fate. I can't suppress my feelings, right? Then what's the fun in making so much money?" Suning naturally has his own set of theories.

"But...but you have to have your own bottom line, right?"

"Yes! I will take good care of my woman, make arrangements for my son, and distribute my property in advance after a hundred years."

Chen Runji didn't understand his son's thinking. He used to think that his eldest son and those women were just playing around, and his eldest son would never take it seriously. He just didn't expect that they could actually give birth to a child.

When the family rested that night, Li Hairen looked at Chen Runji in confusion, "Runji, what's wrong with you today?"

"Hain, our Hyung-jun gave birth to two grandchildren for you outside." Chen Runji explained to his wife unhappily.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Li Hairen was so surprised that an egg could fit in his mouth.

"Humph! This time when I went to Hong Kong, I met Jin Minzhu, and Jin Minzhu and Hengjun's son. He is now over one year old and his name is Chen Xiangzong."

"Ah? Jin Minzhu? The little girl from Hong Kong?"

"Hey! Just now, Hengjun told me that he and his former Russian teacher Natasha also have a son named Chen Xiangzu. He is three years old this year and currently lives in Ukraine with Natasha."

"Oh my God! Is today April Fool's Day?" Li Hairen suddenly felt that this world was too crazy.

"Yeah! I really hope this is just an April Fool's joke." Chen Runji said with a wry smile.

Chen Daojun has always wanted to have a chat with his eldest brother, but seeing that his eldest brother is very busy every day, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Today, he finally saw that his eldest brother was free, so he immediately came to him.

"Brother, can I talk to you?" Chen Daojun said politely with a smile.

"Ah? Okay! Daojun, is there something wrong?" Su Ning looked up at his brother in surprise.

"Brother, why did Grandpa give Shunyang Department Store, Shunyang Hotel, Shunyang Hospital, and Shunyang Shipyard to you and sister-in-law?"

"Daojun! That's just an excuse to fool outsiders. I bought these properties with real money." Suning explained with a wry smile, leaning back in his chair.

"Ah? What's going on?" Chen Daojun widened his eyes in surprise.

"Daojun, our grandfather is very concerned about his reputation. He certainly doesn't want others to know that he needs his grandson. That's why he sold the property to my investment company when he was in trouble and short of funds. Of course, he had to find some sweet excuses."

"Ah? So that's it!"

"Daojun, there is no free lunch in the world, and Grandpa is not a good man, so we can't trust anyone."

"Haha, big brother, this is grandpa's catchphrase."

"Yes! Grandpa's generation suffered too much, so he has a deep understanding of this. I hope you can really learn from it."

"Brother, don't worry! I will definitely be relieved."

"Well, Daojun, let's work hard for our respective ideals!" Suning suddenly stretched out his hand and looked at his younger brother.

"Work hard!" Chen Daojun smiled and gave his brother a give-me-five.

After Suning and Bae Joo-hyun got married, they arranged for Bae Joo-hyun to take over Hengtu Bank and Hengtu Life Insurance, and also held a press conference to announce the establishment of interest-free student loans and medical insurance. This not only boosted the performance of Hengtu Bank and Hengtu Life Insurance, but also made Bae Joo-hyun immediately loved by the Korean people.

"Xuanyou, you're about to graduate from university. I'd like you to start your internship at Hengtu Bank early. I'm just wondering what you think?" Suning found time to find Shin Xuanyou, who was about to graduate. "Master Hengjun, thank you so much. I will definitely work hard." Shin Xuanyou looked at Su Ning in surprise.

"Well, after joining Hengtu Bank, you must be patient and learn well. The bank is full of banking professionals I hired from all over the world."

"Yes! Master Hengjun, I will not let you down."

Regarding Chen Xingjun's return to Seoul this time, there must be a position arrangement in Shunyang Group, but Chen Yangzhe arranged this eldest grandson to a construction company. Just when everyone was puzzled, Chen Yangzhe announced a plan to compete for the construction plan of Seoul New City, and then handed the project to the eldest grandson Chen Xingjun.

What followed was another fierce battle between Chen Daojun and Chen Yangzhe. In order to seize the development of the new city in Seoul, Chen Daojun first arranged for his uncle Cui Changyu to run for mayor of Seoul, and then selected a construction company called Diya to invest in. He was just waiting for his uncle Cui Changyu to win the election, so that he could hand over the new city development rights to Miracle Investment Company and Diya Construction Company.

The reason why Chen Daojun did this was because Cui Changyu was easier to control, and Cui Changyu was also the most eager to obtain financial support at this time, so Chen Daojun and Paul always believed that supporting Cui Changyu was most appropriate.

Although Chen Daojun has always been hiding behind the scenes, Chen Yangzhe is very clear about what Miracle Investment Company is planning. So when he saw that his son-in-law Cui Changyu had recently become famous and that Diya Construction Company had fallen into the hands of Miracle Investment Company, he immediately realized that Miracle Investment Company and Cui Changyu were both heading for Seoul New City.

Chen Yangzhe immediately called President Kim, the leader of the ruling Democratic Party, and said some ambiguous words, asking President Kim not to allow his son-in-law Choi Chang-ok to be nominated during the Democratic Party nomination.

When President Jin received the call from Chen Yangzhe, he immediately felt confused. He then thought about taking Cui Changyu's place directly, but he couldn't do it so obviously. Then he thought about whether he could do something.

"Jin Younan, I just received a call from Chairman Chen of Shunyang. From what I heard, he doesn't want Cui Changyu to pass the nomination." President Jin summoned his confidant Jin Younan alone.

"Ah? Why is that? Isn't Cui Changyu Chairman Chen's son-in-law?" Jin Younan also found it difficult to understand Chen Yangzhe.

"I don't know! I'm also confused now." President Jin shook his head with a wry smile.

"President, why don't we find a way to prevent Choi Chang-ok from passing the party nomination?" Jin Younan suggested to the president.

"No! Cui Changyu's reputation has been very high recently due to the anti-corruption incident at Diya Construction Company. It won't be easy to prevent him from passing the nomination." President Jin shook his head helplessly.

"President, then find him a more reputable opponent and make sure Cui Changyu is defeated clearly."

"Jin Younan, what do you think?" The president looked at Jin Younan with great interest.

"Chen Hengjun."

"What? You want to nominate Chen Hengjun?" President Jin widened his eyes in surprise.

"Yes! Chen Hengjun doesn't need any publicity or canvassing at all. As long as he stands in front of the campaign stage, he will definitely win." Jin Younan is very confident in Suning.

"Alright! Then let Chen Hengjun run in the Seoul mayoral election."

The reason why Chen Yangzhe wanted Cui Changyu to lose the election was that he didn't want Cui Changyu to become the mayor, but he didn't expect that President Jin and Jin Younan would drag Chen Hengjun out. This was something Chen Yangzhe could never have imagined in his dreams.

After receiving Jin Younan's notification, Su Ning immediately suppressed his inner surprise and followed Jin Younan to President Jin's home again. "Director Jin, why did the President suddenly think of me?"

"Hey! It's hard to explain. Once we get to the president's residence, we can discuss it in detail."

Seeing Su Ning and Jin Younan walk in, President Jin stood up to greet them for the first time, then said with a hearty smile, "Minister Chen, I'm a little embarrassed to call you over so late!"

"President, you are too polite. Please let me know if you have anything to say." Suning said politely.

"Well, I guess you heard Director Jin say on the way that this matter is really urgent, so I want to hear your thoughts." President Jin was very satisfied with Su Ning's attitude, and he did not have the arrogance of a young man who had achieved success.

"President, although I don't quite understand why you want to push me to the position, I will definitely not discredit our Democratic Party, and I will listen more to your teachings in the future." Suning's perversions are very straightforward.

"Well, Hyungjun! I remember you are only 24 years old this year. You still have a long way to go!" President Jin nodded without comment.

"President, don't worry! I, Chen Hengjun, am a person who knows how to repay kindness. I will never let you and Director Jin down." Suning could only make the promise again.

"Haha, good! Director Jin and I were not wrong about him." Seeing that Suning was so understanding, and hearing Suning's assurance, President Jin and Jin Younan were both very happy.

Suning knew that no matter how nice his words were, they were useless; real money was the real deal. As soon as he got home that night, he said to Bae Joo-hyun, "Joo-hyun, it seems the wife of Democratic Party leader Kim is a professor at Pohang University of Science and Technology. Go see her tomorrow to see if she has any research projects that need funding."

"Ah? Brother Hengjun, why are you suddenly going to sponsor a university professor?" Bae Joo-hyun seemed a little confused.

"Grandpa didn't want my uncle Choi Chang-ok to run for mayor of Seoul, so he told President Kim, the leader of the Democratic Party, to remove Choi Chang-ok. President Kim and Kim You-nam, the director of the Seoul Provincial Prosecutors' Office, wanted me to run for mayor of Seoul, so we have to express our opinion." Su Ning explained concisely.

"Ah? Brother Hengjun, this is a great thing!" Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but be surprised.

"Haha, Zhuxuan, I think you are about to become a fan of officials." Suning looked at his wife jokingly.

"Humph! This is all because of your influence." Pei Zhuxuan was a little unhappy with Su Ning's teasing, and then assured Su Ning, "Leave this matter to me, and don't worry. I will arrange these things, and I will also take care of Jin Younan's wife."

"Haha, our Joo Hyun is so smart."

"Huh! Hyungjun, you just realized it now!"

"Zhuxuan, we have been married for a year and have not taken any protective measures for a long time, but why is there no movement in your belly?" Looking at his bright and charming wife, Suning walked up to her and hugged her.

"What? You already have Xiang Zu and Xiang Zong, and you're still not satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied! Su's Eternal Capital is such a big industry, how can it be inherited without children?" Su Ning held his wife tightly in his arms.

"Humph! Let Gao Xiaoying and Hou Chengxue give birth to your child."

"Haha, they belong to them, so we should work hard too!" Suning picked up Bae Joo-hyun and went to the bedroom.

"what"

As soon as Suning announced his participation in the Seoul mayoral election, he quickly passed the Democratic Party's nomination, and then with the strong support of the public opinion of the Seoul Daily, he quickly became one of the most popular candidates.

At this time, Cui Changyu and Chen Huarong, who failed to pass the nomination, were dumbfounded. They also heard that it was because of Chen Yangzhe's phone call. Then the two ran to Zhengxinzhai and started yelling hysterically.

Seeing that it was his eldest brother who personally ran for the election, Chen Daojun knew that his uncle Cui Changyu had no hope, and then he gave up his support for Cui Changyu. Therefore, he did not stop them or give them advice as in the original drama, but let Chen Huarong and Cui Changyu make a big fuss in Zhengxinzhai, while he just hid in the dark to observe and think about the next countermeasures.

At this time, Chen Yangzhe also saw the news on TV. He learned that Suning had won the Democratic Party's nomination and successfully won the election spot for mayor of Seoul. Now, hearing his daughter and son-in-law quarreling, Chen Yangzhe suddenly felt a splitting headache and was so dizzy that he couldn't stand up.

"President, are you okay?" Director Li quickly supported Chen Yangzhe.

"Director Li, I'm fine! I just suddenly felt a little dizzy." Chen Yangzhe shook his head indifferently.

"President, let's go to the hospital for a check-up!" Director Li Hengcai looked at Chen Yangzhe nervously.

"No need! It should be fine in a while." Chen Yangzhe shook his hand without taking it seriously.

"President, if we go to the hospital, we can just avoid Miss Huarong."

"Well, okay!" Chen Yangzhe suddenly paused and thought for a while, then nodded helplessly.

It was not consistent with his behavior to avoid his daughter and son-in-law, but he also knew that his daughter and son-in-law were the most angry at this moment, and it would be useless for him to explain anything.
