Zhang Wen's name

Chapter 190 The Zhong Family's Gossip

Xie Tengfei was very annoyed when he heard that his son was unwilling to inherit the Xie family business. Unconsciously, he arrived at the governor's office.

Zhang Wen looked at Xie Tengfei with a strange expression, and then, seeing his face, he instantly understood. He had heard about Xie Zhijun before; that kid had some guts.

"My dear in-law, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Tengfei's lips twitched.

"Governor Zhang, during working hours, you refer to plants."

"Okay, Secretary Xie, what brings you here?"

Seeing Zhang Wen's serious expression, Xie Tengfei's mood immediately improved.

"Zhang Wen, I really envy you, having such a wonderful son."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen instantly understood that this person had come seeking comfort.

"Tengfei, isn't Zhijun also quite outstanding? My Zeyu speaks highly of him."

Xie Tengfei was still very happy to hear Zhang Wen praise his son.

"Zhang Wen, you have no idea that this scoundrel actually doesn't want to inherit the Xie family's legacy. How can we allow that?"

Zhang Wen dismissed the idea.

"Tengfei, I have to criticize you for this. How can you force such a thing? Besides, isn't he very talented in scientific research?"

Xie Tengfei still couldn't take it anymore.

"Zhang Wen, what are your son Zeyu planning to do in the future? I see he's made several hundred million recently."

Zhang Wen was a little surprised when he heard this. What had this brat done?

"I really don't know what you're talking about. As long as Zeyu doesn't break the law, I respect his decision. Besides, becoming a scientist is a great career choice."

Xie Tengfei felt somewhat relieved after hearing this.

"That's true, they're better than those who cause trouble all the time."

"Tengfei, I think you're overthinking it. I don't care what Zeyu does in the future. Besides, being an official isn't all that great; there are so many worries every day. I'm perfectly satisfied with Zeyu as he is now. Look at my teacher's daughter, she didn't become an official either."

"That's true. My son isn't suited for officialdom either, just like that son-in-law of the Zhong family. He's always causing trouble for them. I've heard that a lot of people are getting annoyed with his family lately."

Upon hearing about the gossip, Zhang Wen immediately perked up.

"Tengfei, tell me in detail. I really haven't paid attention to these things before."

Xie Tengfei looked at Zhang Wen with some surprise.

"Zhang Wen, aren't you paying attention to what's going on up front? Aren't you in a very passive position?"

Zhang Wen shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"What's the big deal? What's the concern of those above? I'm not ready for a promotion yet. I haven't even been a provincial governor for a year."

Xie Tengfei felt a little envious when he saw this.

"Zhang Wen, I'm so envious. So many people have come to you along the way."

Zhang Wen said seriously after hearing this.

"Tengfei, you guys are just too complicated. You're too concerned about gains and losses. If you asked me to align myself with you, I would hesitate. Unlike me, who makes the pie bigger, so everyone gets credit, and naturally everyone gravitates towards me."

Xie Tengfei was also shocked when he first heard this.

"Thank you, Zhang Wen. I think you're absolutely right. Being too fussy about things only makes you seem petty."

"Alright, Tengfei, stop talking about that. Tell me about the Zhong family. That crazy Zhong Xiaoai actually tried to deduct my pay last time. She really went too far."

Xie Tengfei was speechless; he really was a vengeful guy.

"Last time, the Zhong family's son-in-law investigated the energy and banking sectors, right? Then recently, Zhong Zhengguo of the Zhong family wanted to advance further, but those people brought him down, and now he's relegated to a second-tier position."

Zhang Wen was very happy to hear this; he deserved it.

"Tengfei, he also has people supporting him, how come he can't even keep his original position?"

Xie Tengfei gave Zhang Wen a strange look.

Zhang Wen was completely baffled by the stares.

"What kind of look is that? What does this have to do with me?"

Zhang Wen, this matter really does have something to do with you.

"Xie Tengfei, are you out of your mind? Hurry up and say it, just like Tian Guofu."

Xie Tengfei couldn't stand it anymore when he heard this.

"Zhang Wen, who do you think resembles Tian Guofu? Tian Guofu is nowhere near as capable as me."

Zhang Wen laughed after hearing this, saying, "Look at the person you're comparing yourself to."

"Alright, hurry up and tell me. You're much better than Tian Guofu."

Xie Tengfei was still very happy to hear this, after all, it was Zhang Wen who praised him.

"Even if Zhong Zhengguo hadn't gotten in, he could have kept his position. Your supervisor, Director Pei, voted against it at the meeting to help you get revenge, and you know what happened. I heard Zhong Zhengguo was hospitalized afterwards."

Zhang Wen was also very excited after hearing this.

"It seems that Zhong Zhengguo is not very popular."

"Who can argue with that? People used to give him face because of his father, but who cares about him now? Besides, he's just too greedy."

Zhang Wen agreed with what he heard.

"Tengfei, why don't you go and meet your in-laws? I've heard they're not exactly simple people either."

Xie Tengfei was helpless after hearing this; how could he not know that Lin Wei was difficult to get along with?

"Zhang Wen, you know Lin Wei, right? You used to be a cadre in Hanjiang, didn't you?"

Zhang Wen was lost in his memories, and it took him a long time to speak.

"Tengfei, Lin Wei is a very selective person. He's a bit like Yi Xuexi from Handong, but even more capable. I actually admire people like him, but I'm more tactful than him. He's now the mayor of Ning City in Hanjiang, and Ning City is developing very well. You could say his future is bright."

Xie Tengfei was surprised to hear this, as Zhang Wen rarely praised someone like this.

"Zhang Wen, I'd like to discuss what he likes first."

"Tengfei, as long as you don't bully others, you'll be fine. He's a man of principle, and he dotes on his daughter the most. I find that Lin Qiuli quite interesting; I spoke to her on the phone last time, and she was quite intriguing."

"Okay, I'll go to the Han River in a few days. Governor Zhang, I'll be going now."

"Tengfei, from now on, just call me by my name in private. We'll be family soon."

"Yes, Chief Zhang Wen."

"Xiao Xie, keep up the good work, I believe in you."

"Yes, sir, I will certainly keep your teachings in mind."

After saying that, Xie Tengfei quickly walked out of the office, clearly in a very good mood.

Seeing Xie Tengfei walk out of the office, Zhang Wen dialed Zhang Zeyu's number.

"Son, what did you do to earn so much money?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zeyu was still very proud.

"Dad, I have 1000 million fans now. Earning hundreds of millions is a piece of cake. I've made a lot of money just from selling autographed photos."

Zhang Wen was quite surprised to hear that he had 1000 million followers, as that was quite an achievement.

"Zeyu, does your mom know you have so many fans?"

"I told my mom, and she was very happy."

Zhang Wen was very unhappy after hearing this.

"Son, why don't you tell me if you're asking for trouble?"

Zhang Zeyu quickly explained after hearing this.

"Dad, I'm not going to call you later. Besides, I've only achieved so much so far, there's no need to brag."

"Son, you did a great job. Next time we have an event in Handong, you need to cooperate well. You won't be shortchanged."

Hearing his father's approval made Zhang Zeyu very happy.

"Okay, boss, I will definitely cooperate."

"Yanran, you must treat him well. I will take you to propose marriage during the New Year."

"Okay, Dad, you know me. Once I've decided on someone, I'll treat her well."

"Alright, I'll hang up now. You should visit the Xie family sometime. You better behave yourself lately."

"Okay, Dad."
