King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"What's going on?" My heart skipped a beat!

"Brother-in-law! Someone fell into the pre-cooling tank in the company's broiler production workshop today, and Hua Yang and I almost fell in too!"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Meitong nervously recounted what had happened that day!

Dingcheng Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Group has two production lines: a pig slaughtering line and a chicken slaughtering line. Because the chicken line's infrastructure construction started earlier, it has already begun trial production.

After the evisceration equipment imported from Denmark removes the internal organs of the broiler chickens, they are put into a rolling precooling tank for cooling and sterilization before being put into the processing workshop for decomposition and product grading!

The precooling tank is a large, spiral-shaped stainless steel tank, resembling a meat grinder. Inside, blades slowly rotate, thoroughly mixing the ice water and sodium hypochlorite solution with the broiler carcass...

If someone falls in there... there's no way they can climb out!

Therefore, personnel managing the precooling pool must have a high level of safety awareness!

Although Song Huayang has announced that he will no longer serve as the chairman of Dingcheng Agriculture and Animal Husbandry...

But since they were already in the workshop today, she decided to accompany Xu Meitong as they walked around and looked around the various workshops.

Since taking over as CEO of Dingcheng Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, Xu Meitong has demonstrated a high sense of responsibility... She inspects each workshop every day!

As for the pre-cooling pool, which is of utmost importance in the 'chicken line', she definitely needs to see it!

Just as the two were about to check on the pre-cooling pool, they received news that Xu Meijuan was injured, and Song Huayang lost all interest in continuing their investigation...

She took Xu Meitong away from the workshop and sent someone to pick up my sister Song Xiaojuan and bring her to Dingcheng Agriculture and Animal Husbandry!

It wasn't a big deal at first... but just before the end of the workday, the employees discovered that there was a dead body soaking in the pre-cooling tank. It was a maintenance worker from the workshop.

Preliminary assessment suggests that the guardrail next to the pre-cooling pool suddenly came loose at some point, and the area was slippery with chicken fat all over the ground... and the employee accidentally fell in!

The workshop manager immediately called the police, who are currently investigating the scene.

Deaths and major safety accidents are one aspect...

The chicken produced today is definitely not worth it!

Which customer would want to buy chicken products that have been soaked in the same pool as dead people?

Even worse... if this news spreads like wildfire, Dingcheng's reputation will be ruined!

The people would say... that their food factory produced food that had been soaked in water with dead people!

Who will buy their products in the future?

Xu Meitong... she's called the CEO, but she's just a woman in her early thirties. She's never been involved in the food industry before, and she's only just taken the helm. She has no ability or experience in handling major events!

Therefore, it was once again the eldest sister, Song Huayang, who had to step in to solve this problem!

Now, she and Xiaojuan have been arranged by Song Huayang to return to the Song family villa... Feeling uncertain, she called me again to report the situation!

"Brother-in-law, I'm so scared!"

Xu Meitong's voice trembled slightly with tears as she spoke on the phone, "Is someone trying to kill me...? That railing, it was clearly welded shut, how could it suddenly come loose? Are they trying to make me end up like my older sister, waaaaah!"

"Well......"

My mind is in a state of confusion!

Logically speaking, this doesn't make much sense!

There are two reasons!

Although I had never been inside Dingcheng's workshop before, during my graduate studies, I often accompanied my advisor, Professor Zhao Huiping, to visit broiler slaughterhouses in Northeast China and Shandong. I am familiar with the equipment and layout there...

Even if the railing is loose, the edge of the pre-cooling pool is quite high, so unless someone is deliberately trying to squeeze in, it won't be easy for them to get in!

That's one point!

Secondly... that's spiral precooling!

The chicken carcass slowly emerged from the pre-cooling tank as the blades continued to push it out. If a person of that size fell in... they would be pulled out in 40 minutes, and it was impossible for them to soak in the tank for an afternoon!

So, there's something sinister about this!

"Meitong! Don't be nervous... Now that you're back, just settle in comfortably!"

I frowned and tried to reassure her, "Didn't my older sister already step in? Let her handle it..."

"Brother-in-law!"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Meitong's voice trembled with fear: "I heard someone wants to kill the three of us sisters. Who is it? Brother-in-law, I'm so scared!"

"Um... Meitong, you should ask your second sister about some details. I have something to do now, I need to go out with Chairman Hua Zhao for a bit..."

"Okay, brother-in-law! Be careful!" Xu Meitong's voice was still trembling with sobs.

......

After hanging up the phone, I was annoyed, but I also sensed something unusual in the tone of Xu Meitong's voice!

Actually... no matter how my identity is defined, I am still self-aware!

I'm just a recent graduate with absolutely no social experience!

Xu Meitong, on the other hand, is 30 years old this year, four years older than me... and can be considered a seasoned businesswoman!

But her repeated use of "brother-in-law" on the phone, her timid and tearful voice... gradually demystified her, completely overturning my previous impression of her!

So it turns out... this "older sister" who is four years older than me is also a little woman who gets flustered and vulnerable!

Of course, her second sister, Xu Meiyun, is also a crybaby!

However, that's because I'm Hsu Mei-yun's 'husband'!

Now her sister is the same way, she really doesn't treat me like an "outsider"?

How could she possibly call a man four years her junior "brother-in-law"?

"Did something happen to Dingcheng?"

Song Huazhao, who was sitting next to me, frowned slightly and asked.

"Um!"

I nodded. "Someone drowned in the pre-cooling pool... and that route was exactly where Eldest Sister and Xu Meitong were planning to go... Second Sister! Do you think this could be a murder plot against Meitong?"

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao smiled faintly, a cold, cruel glint in his eyes: "Xiao Cheng! Remember! Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself! You... you're good in every way, except you're too kind-hearted! Sometimes, you really should learn from Xu Shaokun!"

"Well......"

Her words left me speechless, so I immediately changed the subject: "Second Sister... today, in your office, you said that Third Sister Hua Yao has been acting strangely lately... what did you mean? Mei Yun isn't here right now, can you tell me?"

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao's eyes were filled with a cold, cunning glint as he pondered, "Your third sister... she wants you dead!"

"What?"

My heart pounded, and a chill ran down my spine: "Third Sister...she wants me dead? That doesn't make sense! I haven't provoked her at all! In fact, I even helped her! Without me...could she have escaped your mother's control and been with the person she loves?"

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My silly brother! When analyzing love, hate, and grudges, don't always stay on a superficial level. Otherwise, you won't even be able to distinguish between friend and foe! Just like the princes of ancient times... Fusu clearly had no ill intentions towards Huhai, so why did Huhai still want him dead? If you can't even see this point... even if you're lying at home, you'll still offend everyone on the street!"

"Holy crap!"

I gasped, "Second Sister, you mean... I'm in Song Huayao's way? I'm not in her way at all!"

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "How come you didn't get in her way? Originally... she was my mother's strategist, my mother's most beloved and relied-upon daughter... Now, my mother's heart is full of you, her 'half-son.' Do you think you got in her way or not?"

"Damn! This is considered blocking?" I stared at Song Huazhao in shock.

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Huazhao laughed, "That's only one layer... If Hua Yao found out you're her own brother, she'd be even more determined to kill you!"

Song Huazhao's words sent a chill down my spine...

"No, it can't be that bad..." I said, my lips trembling.

"Silly little brother!"

Song Huazhao looked at me with a face full of affection mixed with slyness: "You think... every older sister is like Second Sister, who would still protect you even after you betrayed her? Dragons have nine sons, and each one is different! Daughters are the same!"

She paused, then continued, "Besides... she now has a fiancé and is pregnant with his child; she's bound to want to benefit her husband's family!"

"What...what does this even mean?" I was completely speechless!

"snort!"

Song Huazhao sneered, "What she most wants to see... is nothing more than her eldest sister dying alone, and then she eating her eldest sister's blood! And you... you suddenly appear out of nowhere, so won't her cake and cake be affected? Besides, you're only half a son! If she finds out that you are the only male heir of the Song family, the only future successor! Then she'll be even more determined to kill you! And... she'll immediately team up with my mother to deal with you!"

"What a fucking ingrate!"

I said indignantly, "I never imagined that she... such a beautiful woman could be so vicious! Logically... it shouldn't be like this!"

I frowned, shook my head, and sighed, "She... didn't want to marry those rich young men, but instead fell for an ordinary university teacher. This shows she's not the kind of person blinded by greed or with an intense desire for profit. This doesn't fit her behavior at all!"

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao sneered, "A rich young master? Ridiculous! In front of the Song family... marrying any young master is like subtraction, isn't it? It's better to find a puppet who has no ability to resist and can be manipulated at will! Just like how my mother took a liking to you and arranged for you to marry my eldest sister!"

"Hiss~!"

I gasped, trying my best to empathize with the logic Song Huazhao was using!

Just as my brother and I were chatting, Xiao Ran called...

"Feed?" I answered the phone.

"husband......"

Xiao Ran's voice on the phone carried a hint of fear: "I've gotten almost all of those videos, and there are some things in them... I don't know if I should tell you..."
