Chapter 550 Seeking Re-election
Looking at his grandfather Chen Yangzhe's departing figure, Suning always felt a little lonely. He didn't know if it was too cruel that he saved his life but then made him witness Shunyang, which he had founded, being taken away.

"Grandpa." Suning couldn't help but shout at the lonely figure.

"Ah? Hengjun, what's wrong again?" The lonely figure turned around and looked at his grandson in confusion, revealing his old and confused expression.

"Grandpa, actually Daojun has always wanted to inherit Shunyang because he loves Shunyang, so his obsession and feelings for Shunyang are no less than yours." Su Ning explained to Chen Yangzhe with a smile.

"Haha, I hope so!" Chen Yangzhe did not believe what Suning said. In fact, these were no longer important to him.

In his previous life, Chen Daojun entered Shunyang Group by accident. In order to gain recognition from others and realize his own value, he worked diligently for Shunyang Group for more than 20 years. He really has deep feelings for Shunyang, at least none of Chen Yangzhe's children can compare to him.

After sending Grandpa Chen Yangzhe to his car and watching the Sunyang car gradually drive away, Pei Zhuxuan looked at Su Ning in confusion and asked, "Brother Hengjun, is Grandpa here because of Daojun's matter?"

"Yes! He is willing to hand over Shunyang Group to Daojun, and he only hopes that Daojun can let grandma and uncle go." Looking at his somewhat confused wife, Su Ning explained with a wry smile on his face.

"Ah? Grandpa is quite willing to do that." After learning about her grandfather Chen Yangzhe's past, Pei Zhuxuan was also surprised at her grandfather's courage.

"Zhuxuan, my second uncle has passed away long ago, and Chen Xingjun is in prison. If my uncle and grandmother are also in jail, who will inherit Shunyang Group?" Suning thought that Chen Yangzhe had no way out now.

"Ah? Hyungjun, are you saying that Grandpa is helpless?"

"Yes! I don't like Shunyang now, so Daojun is the most suitable one." Suning nodded with certainty.

"Brother Hyungjun, will Dojun agree to reconcile?" Bae Joo-hyun soon became worried again.

"Well, I think he would! After all, he also believes that family disgrace should not be made public."

Things did not go beyond Su Ning's expectations. After his not-so-difficult persuasion, and considering that Chen Daojun originally wanted to obtain the inheritance rights of Shunyang and take revenge on the heirs of Shunyang Group, he quickly agreed to Chen Yangzhe's request and chose to forgive Li Biyu and Chen Yongji's hiring of a killer.

At the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office, the director of the Special Investigation Department came up to the busy Xu Minying and asked, "Prosecutor Xu, are you still busy with the Sunyang Group car accident case?"

"Yes! Minister, the people of Shunyang Group are too unscrupulous. They even openly hired killers to kill people." Xu Jingying looked at the minister with a smile and nodded.

"Prosecutor Xu, I have some bad news for you. Li Biyu and Chen Yongji have already fled to Europe by plane." The director of the Special Investigation Department looked at the "Desperate Woman" Xu Jingying with a wry smile on his face.

"What? Aren't they and their son restricted from traveling? How could they take a plane? Why weren't they stopped at the airport?" Shocked Xu Jingying asked a series of questions like a machine gun.

"Hey! Prosecutor Xu, let's just put this case aside. You don't need to be too serious about it." The director of the Special Investigation Department was actually quite helpless. After all, this case was a case of ripe fruit falling.

"Minister, our entire team has been busy for so long, and all the evidence is very clear, but we fail at this moment! I want to know why?" Xu Jingying couldn't understand it at this time, and questioned the minister loudly.

"Prosecutor Xu, it was the mayor of Seoul who personally sent Li Biyu and Chen Yongji to the airport in his car. Do you think anyone can stop them?" The director of the Special Investigation Department knew that Xu Jingying had a strong background, so he didn't pay much attention to her tone, but explained helplessly.

"What? Mayor Chen Hengjun?" Xu Jingying widened her eyes in surprise.

"Yes! Mayor Chen Hengjun is our predecessor in the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office. Even if the prosecutors in our Prosecutor's Office saw Li Biyu and Chen Yongji, they would choose to turn a blind eye."

"Minister, how could this happen? Mayor Chen Hengjun is the idol of our Seoul National University and the Seoul District Prosecutors Office! This is so disappointing." Xu Jingying muttered to herself in disbelief.

"Prosecutor Xu, matters involving chaebol families are just so complicated. They always believe in keeping dirty laundry private. Since they've chosen not to pursue the matter, we prosecutors don't need to take it too seriously."

Xu Jingying didn't listen to what the minister said at all, because at this time Xu Jingying felt that her worldview was collapsing. Suning has always been their common idol in the judicial community. Xu Jingying has always admired Suning and Seo Taiji on the same level. She never dreamed that he would interfere with judicial justice.

Xu Jingying watched in pain as the staff sealed the case files, feeling that all her efforts over the past few days had been wasted. Then, after saying hello casually to her colleagues, she left the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office in a daze.

Walking aimlessly on the street, she unknowingly arrived at the Seoul city hall. Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, she inadvertently discovered that the mayor of Seoul was about to get in the car and leave. Xu Jingying hurriedly ran towards the mayor of Seoul. This scared the mayor of Seoul's security personnel, and they all had nervous expressions and were wary of Xu Jingying.

"Senior, can I talk to you alone?" Xu Jingying realized her reckless behavior and shouted to Suning through the security personnel.

"Senior?" Hearing this strange title, and feeling that the other person looked familiar, the mayor of Seoul quickly recognized the other person's identity. "You are Prosecutor Xu Jingying of the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office, right?"

"Ah? Senior, do you know me?" Xu Jingying couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Of course! Let's get in the car and talk it over." Suning said and got into the car.

After hearing Suning's invitation and seeing Suning's subsequent actions, which did not give her any chance to refuse, Xu Jingying had no choice but to get in the car and sit with Suning.

"Mayor, where are we going next?" the driver asked Suning respectfully.

"Shunyang Group Headquarters."

"Yes! Mayor." The driver responded respectfully and started the mayor's special car.

"Xu Jingying, you must have a lot of doubts in your mind right now, right?" At this time, Su Ning turned around and looked at Xu Jingying with a smile, who had a face full of question marks.

"Yes! Senior, please help Jingying solve her doubts."

"This problem is very complicated, so I will take you to someone who can help you solve it." Su Ning would not be so nosy as to solve the problem for Chen Daojun.

"what?"

The mayor's car soon arrived at the headquarters of Shunyang Group. Suning, who got out of the car first, buttoned up his suit, and then took the elevator directly to Chen Daojun's office with Xu Jingying, who looked confused, amid the greetings of Shunyang Group employees.

"Ah? Brother, how come you have time to come here?" Looking at Su Ning who suddenly came over, Chen Daojun seemed very confused.

"Haha, Xu Jingying wants to know something from you. You two are old classmates, so just chat slowly." Su Ning explained, pointing at Xu Jingying behind him.

"Ah?" Looking at Xu Jingying behind Su Ning, Chen Daojun now understood everything. He then said with a hint of shame, "Brother, I've caused you trouble again."

"Alright! You guys chat slowly, I'm going home to eat first." Suning waved his hand nonchalantly. "Goodbye, big brother!"

"Senior, goodbye!"

Time quickly came to the year 2002, and the Shunyang succession battle ended with the victory of Suning and Chen Daojun. Li Biyu and Chen Yongji, mother and son, fled to Europe. Chen Dongji had died as early as 1988. Chen Huarong was completely finished because of Cui Changyu's imprisonment and the loss of Shunyang Department Store and Shunyang Chemical. The poor bachelor Chen Xingjun was also sent to prison by Suning to sing "Tears Behind Bars". Now there is only an old man Chen Yangzhe left in Zhengxinzhai, who looks particularly lonely and pitiful. Suning can't help but wonder if his methods are too cruel.

"Grandpa, are you watching ants climbing trees again?" Suning said jokingly to his grandfather who was enjoying the cool under the big tree.

"Huh! What are you doing here again?" Chen Yangzhe felt unhappy when he saw his grandson in front of him. He said unhappily, "You two brothers have taken away everything I have. There's really nothing left."

"Grandpa, what you said at my house last time was quite right. I also feel that the house is too small, so I want to move in and live with you." Not minding Grandpa Chen Yangzhe's tone, Su Ning explained with a smile.

"Oh! You bastard grandson, you've set your eyes on my Zhengxinzhai again?" Chen Yangzhe, who was leaning on a walking stick, looked at his grandson in front of him angrily, wishing he could swing the stick in his hand and hit him hard.

"Grandpa, I'm not as bad as you say. I just want to live in a big house."

"Hmph! You are the mayor of Seoul. It's not easy to live in a big house." Chen Yangzhe said sarcastically.

"Grandpa, my four-year term as mayor is almost up. I can't keep taking advantage of our country."

"Humph! That sounds nice, but you still want your grandfather's property."

"Hey, Grandpa, I'll take this as your agreement?" Looking at the old child in front of him, Su Ning couldn't help but laugh, "Our whole family will be moving in tomorrow, right?"

"Humph! Chen Hengjun, can I still control you now?"

"Haha, thank you very much, Grandpa." Looking at his grandfather who was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted, Su Ning said one more thing, "Grandpa, you should still remember Director Li Hengcai, right?"

"Ah? What happened to him?"

Chen Yangzhe's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he was worried about hearing some bad news soon. After all, he and Li Hengcai had been together day and night for so many years, sometimes spending more time together than his son and himself. Of course, Chen Yangzhe still had some feelings for him.

"Grandpa, he is not used to life in Hong Kong and wants to return to Seoul to retire. I mean to continue to hire him as the head of your secretariat. Do you think this is okay?" Su Ning explained to Chen Yangzhe with a smile.

"Hmph! Shunyang Group has been handed over to Chen Daojun, why do I need a secretariat?" Chen Yangzhe was so happy at this moment.

"Grandpa, I plan to have Director Li continue to collect information about the Shunyang Group's operations, and then you, the veteran, will continue to help steer the ship."

"Hmph! Chen Hengjun, you don't even spare my old bones!" Chen Yangzhe restrained his surprise and said to Su Ning in pretended anger.

"Haha, an old man in the family is like a treasure. You are the treasure of Daojun and me!"

Li Hengcai did a great job in Hong Kong over the past year, but unfortunately he was too old. Some time ago, he suddenly suffered a stroke due to overwork. Although he was rescued thanks to Hong Kong's advanced medical conditions and the subsequent recovery treatment was very effective, Li Hengcai suddenly wanted to return to his hometown to retire.

Su Ning easily noticed Li Hengcai's thoughts. Thinking that Chen Yangzhe was also alone now, and realizing that Li Hengcai had been with Chen Yangzhe for more than 20 years, it would be good for the two to continue to be together, so he prepared to take Li Hengcai to Zhengxinzhai.

Since I came to this magical world in 1987, I have always felt that Zhengxinzhai is cold. Now that Chen Daojun has taken over Shunyang Group and his career is booming, Suning has the idea of giving Zhengxinzhai warmth.

As Suning moved into Zhengxinzhai with his wife and children, and Li Hengcai returned to Chen Yangzhe's side, Zhengxinzhai gradually became warmer. Suning secretly used his connections to have Cui Changyu and Chen Xingjun released early, and instructed Chen Daojun to arrange new jobs for Chen Huarong and Chen Xingjun. Chen Yangzhe smiled more and more.

With Suning's efforts and support, the family is becoming more and more happy, and his career has also encountered a major turning point. No matter how Suning chooses to move forward, it will be a major event with a far-reaching impact on Suning's future.

"Hyunjun! Your term as mayor of Seoul is about to expire. Do you have any plans for the next arrangements?" President Jin sat down with Suning and talked about things while drinking coffee.

"President, I want to try to be re-elected as the mayor of Seoul." Suning expressed his thoughts.

"Oh? I thought you would challenge the presidency?" President Jin said with some surprise.

"Haha, President, I know my own weight clearly and will not do such a stupid thing as a fly pushing a wall." Suning is not the overconfident Cui Changyu in the original drama, who actually ran for president under the instigation of Chen Daojun.

"Haha, a fly pushing a wall is overestimating its own capabilities?" President Jin was also amused by Suning's statement.

"Yes! I'm very lucky to be re-elected as the mayor of Seoul at this stage."

"Hyunjun! There's no need to underestimate yourself. I think you can have a chance to become the new Minister of Legal Affairs." President Jin is very optimistic about Suning.

"President, the Minister of Justice is a high-ranking official. We don't even know who the new president will be, so I won't speculate."

"Well, the presidential election results are almost out. I'll help you with this matter." President Jin took the initiative to ask Suning.

"Ah? Thank you so much, President." Suning could only say thank you to the enthusiastic President Jin.

"Haha, Hengjun, considering the relationship between your father-in-law and me, this is nothing."

Thinking that his father-in-law could actually bring him so many connections, Suning actually felt very sad. He felt that all this was too mysterious, and he also felt very fortunate to have married Bae Joo-hyun.

As for the legal minister promised by President Jin, Suning did not have high expectations. After all, the competition for the position of legal minister would be more intense, so Suning had to make preparations in advance.

His political achievements over the past four years have been very gratifying. Not only has he successfully fulfilled the three original promises, but he has also comprehensively promoted the medical insurance business. It is no longer limited to Hengtu Hospital under Su's Eternal Capital, but has implemented medical insurance business in hospitals of all sizes across the country. At the same time, he has also negotiated a series of vegetable basket projects with neighboring China, further alleviating the problem of food shortage in Seoul and even the entire South Korea.

Suning's re-election strategy was very aggressive. He directly instructed the companies under Su's Eternal Capital and Shunyang Group to set up a promotional exhibition titled "Our Four Years in Seoul" in the halls of their various companies, using real data and results to prove his ability. The results were very gratifying, which once again raised Suning's reputation to a new level.

The candidates for the new presidential election were impressed by Suning's swift and clever publicity campaign and were suddenly glad that Suning did not participate in this presidential election, otherwise Suning's reputation would be a threat to them.
