Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Old Dong thought about many things. The key question now was what exactly happened in Jinshi, what role his grandson played in the upheaval in Jinshi, and how to explain it to that person.

The Tian family used to have a stable business, and he had told his daughter more than once that having his eldest son-in-law come to the capital to develop his career would definitely provide him with a better future.
Now that idea has changed. As the other side makes moves one after another, Jinshi’s position has become particularly important. Without the eldest son-in-law, the Dong family will lose all influence in Jinshi!
Old Dong remained silent, anxious but helpless. Without his grandson's return, he couldn't understand the situation in Jinshi, and could only worry helplessly.

"Send people to keep an eye on him. Send people to all the places Yong'er likes to go. If they see him, send him home immediately. Send people out now!"

"Yes, sir!"

At this time, Dong Yong finally returned to the capital. As for Chen Yousai, he gathered goods and sold them outside the pass, with the eldest son of the Tian family following him.

"Young Master, the Master wants you to return home immediately!"

As soon as Dong Yong entered the city gate, he was stopped, as if there was something extremely urgent!
"understood!"

Half an hour later
"Grandpa, I'm back!"

Dong Yong looked at his grandfather respectfully. Tian Yonghong was told to go and rest. Now was not the time for his cousin to see his grandfather. Tian Yonghong was not suitable to participate in such an occasion!

Why go to Jinshi?

"Grandpa, this is what happened...; therefore, I have no choice but to go to Jinshi, otherwise, the subsequent plans..."

Dong Yong's expression changed. Sure enough, his grandfather knew he had gone to Jinshi!
"Foolish! We've won, and the family will prosper forever. When that happens, we won't be able to get the money we want. How can someone so short-sighted inherit the family business?"

Old Dong was furious. His core business was in Beijing. It was foolish to abandon the fundamentals for a mere little bit of money!
"Grandpa, your grandson knows he was wrong!"

Dong Yong's greatest strength was his willingness to admit his mistakes. It seemed that whenever his grandfather got angry, he would immediately bow his head and admit his fault.

Not only did she take the initiative to admit her mistake, but she also lowered her head and remained silent until her grandfather's anger subsided before speaking. It was precisely because of this that she was deeply loved by the old man!
"From now on, everything else can be put aside, and we should focus all our efforts on dealing with the He's Restaurant. If the branch goes smoothly, the consequences will be something our Dong family cannot afford, understand?"

Old Man Dong wasn't really blaming his grandson. The Dong family could afford a small loss, but if the He family's restaurant succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, under no circumstances could the He family restaurant experiment succeed; otherwise, the Dong family would surely be plunged into an abyss of no return, the best outcome being withdrawal from the capital, but it almost did…

"Yes, Grandpa, that's what I'm thinking. Since it's a restaurant..."

Dong Yong knew that his grandfather was already dissatisfied with him, and if he didn't achieve good results in the future, he would likely be completely marginalized.
The Dong family never talks about feelings; they only look at ability. Even if someone has feelings but isn't capable, given Grandpa's personality, he would not hesitate to change the heir, and then I would be in big trouble.
"Well, Mother can say that, but He Yuzhu's cooking skills are unfathomable. It is said that even his own teacher admits that he is not as good as him."

Conversely, even if we crack down on He's Restaurant, we can't stop people from spending money; that's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. We need to do it thoroughly!

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" "Grandson, you should have been the only one who knew you bought these electronic devices from Li Huaide, but why did the news leak out?"

Old ginger is spicier, and Old Dong knew there was something wrong as soon as he heard it. First, Li Huaide was once the owner of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
Second, He Yuzhu is the deputy director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill; third, Xu Damao, who participated, is the deputy director of the Standing Committee of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
All those involved had one thing in common: they had all worked at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Given this, is there any connection between this underhanded operation and He Yuzhu? This is a question worth investigating!
"What does Grandpa mean?"

Dong Yong was filled with doubt and suspicion. Could it be that his grandfather discovered the problem after hearing the whole story? But what did He Yuzhu have to do with this?
"Idiot, what do Li Huaide, Xu Damao (whom you mentioned), and He Yuzhu have in common? Use your brain!"

Old Dong was speechless, looking at his eldest grandson with disappointment. Wasn't he usually so clever? Why was he so slow to react now?

"Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill? Grandpa, you're overthinking it. It's just a small Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, how could it have such a large capacity?"
I sent people to investigate, and it turns out that Li Huaide collected this batch of goods in the south, and the quantity is the same as my goods.

In other words, Li Huaide neither could nor was capable of accumulating the same amount of goods at the same time!

In Dong Yong's eyes, only Li Huaide was worthy of his attention, and that was only because of Li Huaide's father-in-law. Others were not good enough!
"Foolish! Have you forgotten a very important person? Someone who was once incredibly influential and powerful?"

The reason why Old Man Dong guided him step by step was because Dong Yong lacked a broad perspective; otherwise, a simple analysis would have revealed major problems!

"What does Grandpa mean?"

Dong Yongzhen couldn't recall any other person at the steel rolling mill that even his grandfather valued. Over the years, besides Yang Weimin and Li Huaide, who else was worth his attention?

"Lou Zhenhua, also known as Lou the Half-City, is currently in Hong Kong Island. Therefore, I have no doubt that He Yuzhu is the one targeting you!"

Old Dong smiled meaningfully. He Yuzhu and Lou Zhenhua had an extraordinary relationship. If the situation hadn't changed drastically, He Yuzhu would have dared to cause trouble and would have been taken down first. Did he really think he was Sun Wukong?
"He Yuzhu? Impossible. Even if the channels were open, there wouldn't be that much financial resources. Besides, transporting such a large batch of electronic equipment to Beijing would be a huge problem, Grandpa!"

Dong Yong looked incredulous. If He Yuzhu was the culprit, he would be finished in the capital's social circles. The two were clearly not in the same league. It was like porcelain hitting earthenware pot; the earthenware pot became porcelain, but the porcelain broke.
“If you don’t have money, you can owe it. Not long ago, a batch of machinery and equipment from the steel rolling mill was brought over directly from Jinshi.”

Grandson, nothing is absolute. Things are different now than before. Now it's all about connections. Compared to Lou Zhenhua, we're far behind!

Old Dong sighed helplessly. As time went by, the business model of the pigeon market was no longer what it used to be; now, competition was the mainstream.

At the meeting, more and more people supported a market-oriented economy. Therefore, the Dong family also needs to appropriately change its way of thinking and adapt!
"Grandpa, I will find out the truth. If He Yuzhu is really in this line of work, hehe, the He Family Restaurant will collapse on its own!"

Dong Yong stopped worrying about whether He Yuzhu was targeting him again, and he didn't refute his grandfather's guess. At least, his grandfather had provided a line of thought.

He Yuzhu is courting death, hehe, there's no need for He's Restaurant to continue;

Once Dong Yong's mind started working, a series of wicked schemes began to brew. The lost money could be recovered, but some things could never be undone! (End of Chapter)
