Name: The Holy Son of the Energy Department Enters Handong

Chapter 143 The Person Who Stepped In to Help the Zhong Family in Their Time of Crisis

"Alright, alright, family members shouldn't stay too long. The old man needs to rest!"

Don't let the old man talk too much; there might still be a chance for him to be saved!

The doctor walked in and chased the people away.

Zhong Zhengguo came to the door and window, and his eyes involuntarily reddened.

It wasn't for any other reason than that Grandpa Zhong didn't use his last trump card for himself.

He had originally failed in his bid for the position of full-time deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

He didn't think it was a big deal, after all, Grandpa Zhong was in good health and could easily last for 5 or 10 years.

Losing a competition simply means that the organization department cannot nominate or appoint the cadre again within one year.

Grandpa Zhong is in good health and can handle it.

So what if it's a year slower? In fact, this year he can solidify his foundation and make a final push.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhong now only has one month left to live.

If this is the ideal situation, the actual situation may be even worse.

The Zhong family's last reserves could not be used by him; instead, they were to be exhausted by an outsider.

How could Chung Cheng-kuo possibly feel good about it?

"Zhengguo, don't worry. I won't abandon you after Grandpa Zhong passes away. You can come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future." Xu Ming walked over and looked at Zhong Zhengguo sincerely.

Before leaving, Grandpa Zhong helped him up, which was a great favor, and Grandpa Zhong had taken care of him for quite some time.

I have a deep affection for Grandpa Zhong.

Moreover, if he takes another step forward, the Organization Department will be able to gain a firm foothold.

Although not the eldest, the second eldest is not bad either; usually, the eldest doesn't get involved.

"The old man has already decided to give you the resources, what are you still pretending for?"

"Does this mean you'll actually take care of the Zhong family after the old man passes away?!" Zhong Zhengguo glanced coldly at Xu Ming.

This guy stole his father's love and his resources, and now he's standing in front of him, speaking with such righteous indignation.

How hateful! Absolutely hateful!

"Zhengguo, don't look at me like that, I'm serious!" Xu Ming was a smart man and naturally understood what Zhong Zhengguo was thinking. He comforted him again.

The main problem is that Grandpa Zhong hasn't fully explained things yet.

He hasn't made any progress yet, how could he immediately break off relations?

Moreover, for the sake of his reputation, he couldn't immediately sever ties with the Chung family.

"I'm sorry, I'm so heartbroken, please don't misunderstand!" Zhong Zhengguo took a few deep breaths and said politely.

With Old Master Zhong gone, the Zhong family will have to rely on him to shoulder the burden.

As for his eldest brother, he now works in the elderly care department, devoting his heart and soul to his grandson.

They probably won't get involved in the Zhong family's affairs anymore.

Even if they wanted to, they couldn't manage it anymore, because his words no longer carried any weight in the family. His son-in-law was a ruthless man with a strong background, great abilities, and considerable talent.

He couldn't persuade him, so at home, Chung Ming-jen could only bow his head and play the role of a kind grandfather.

A man who was domineering his whole life turned out to be a kind grandfather in his later years.

"Don't say that, Zhengguo. I know you're feeling bad too, and it's normal to have such impulsive thoughts." Xu Ming patted Zhong Zhengguo on the shoulder.

"Zhengguo! Haotian wishes to see you!"

Just then, the middle-aged man walked over.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ming and Zhong Zhengguo froze simultaneously, their pupils widening in surprise.

Chung Jung-guk's pupils were filled with ecstasy.

Xu Ming gave a forced smile.

She withdrew her hand from Zhong Zhengguo's shoulder.

Haotian, whose real name is Chen Haotian.

The son-in-law of a smart man, most importantly, is a member of the Chen family, and his father is one of the people at the round table meeting.

"Okay, where is Haotian? I'm coming over!" Zhong Zhengguo asked with a look of ecstatic joy.

"Follow me!"

Zhong Mingren spoke, then turned and left.

Chung Cheng-kuo quickly followed.

Xu Ming took two steps, then stopped.

His face was as black as ink.

He wanted a piece of the Chung family's inheritance.

Moreover, Old Master Zhong made it clear that his final favor would help him get promoted, but how could he be willing to accept that?

Old Master Zhong has lived for so long and led so many teams; he has accumulated a lot of connections and ties with his family and friends, and he wants to accept them all.

But Zhong Mingren's son-in-law is the one from the Chen family.

He seems to be very close to the Zhong family; if he acts recklessly...

The ending was destined to be tragic.

There's no way around it; the bigwigs at the roundtable meeting aren't people you can easily offend.

They have the ability to overturn the chessboard at any time.

If you have even the slightest bad idea, and it's just mentioned a few times in a meeting, it will be taken very seriously.

This is why Xu Ming's face was so dark.

It seems that the extent of the benefits he can scheming against the Zhong family has come to an end.

On the other side, Zhong Zhengguo was led to a high-class ward, the kind with guards standing at the door.

"Haotian, who are these two at the door?" Zhong Zhengguo was startled. He had just entered the room when he saw the young man sitting there and started to make conversation.

"They're just people from my father's side; he sent them to follow me!"

"Uncle Zhong, it's been a long time!"

"None of us wanted Grandpa Zhong to end up like this," Chen Haotian said sadly.

"How could this happen so suddenly! What are the medical staff eating?"

Zhong Zhengguo shook his head slightly; this was also something he didn't understand.

But there was nothing that could be done; the facts were staring us in the face. The old man was now bedridden, and his voice was weak and feeble; he would fall asleep after saying just a few words.

My father's physical functions have reached their limit.

No matter how much you don't want to accept it, you have to accept it.

"The old man's health suddenly collapsed. I just received the news. It was very sudden, and I haven't had time to investigate yet!" Zhong Zhengguo said in a low voice.

"Haotian, with Father gone, our Zhong family doesn't know where to go. Can you... can you help the Zhong family, at least help us get through this crisis and stabilize things?"

Zhong Zhengguo couldn't help himself; he rarely saw Chen Haotian to begin with.

He couldn't wait to voice his request.

Chen Haotian's expression froze slightly upon hearing Zhong Zhengguo's words.

He hadn't expected Zhong Zhengguo to be so direct.

They asked for my help, and at such a crucial time for Grandpa Zhong.

It would be incredibly heartless not to help.

If word gets out, it won't sound good on your reputation.

But if he helps, it won't really benefit him.

I shouldn't have agreed to let my wife come to see Grandpa Zhong. Now I've put myself in a difficult position.

"This Uncle Zhong..." Chen Haotian raised his teacup and took a small sip.

Zhong Zhengguo couldn't help but swallow hard. He had to be anxious; Old Master Zhong had just collapsed.

Former subordinates may still feel a sense of gratitude, and this moment, with their desire to make amends at its peak, is the perfect time to win people's hearts.

Similarly, others who were at odds with the Zhong family were also waiting for an opportunity to act.

Some people can hold back and give the Zhong family some time to prepare.

Some of them couldn't hold back and pounced like hungry wolves, tearing and biting fiercely.

If the Chung family cannot withstand this attack, they may have to disappear from the scene completely.
