em at Crushed Plate Cafe; we come here often!" Wu Shirui was very indignant, especially since the look in the woman's eyes made her feel uncomfortable.The white-collar lady had already had an argument...Chapter 67: Acquiring "Little Secret"

This matter has recently become the focus of heated discussions in the circles of offspring from officials in Rongcheng. Although people only vaguely knew that Su Cen was the one whom the son of the city's Secretary of the Municipal Committee supported despite the fact that he had to distance himself from Kong Qi, who he had called "brother" since childhood.

However, they were unsure of his background or any relation he might have with their Wang family. This relationship was so significant that even Wang Weiwei did not hesitate to confront the famous Kong Family hotel chain which originated from Beijing.

Perhaps for the Kong Family, making things difficult with a key figure in southwestern China might only temporarily hinder their southwestern strategy without reaching a fatal stage. It's possible that the young heir, driven by passion, could leverage some connections and challenge Wang Weiwei in this small region of Rongcheng.

But from the perspective of local business clients and partners whom Kong Qi was trying to court and retain in Rongcheng, it seemed that his biggest weakness was his youthful arrogance. He couldn't handle relationships well, leading to conflicts with the son of the city's Secretary of the Municipal Committee in public. This has caused many people to quickly distance themselves from Wang Dynasty Hotel during this period.

Among them were the sons of power players such as the president of an electricity company and a wealthy young man who owned his own bar – all previously close to Kong Qi. After seeing Wang Weiwei’s performance on that day and hearing what he said, they stopped contacting Kong Qi for quite some time afterward, scattering in all directions like bees after being hit hard.

When occasionally gathering together, they would sigh over how poorly Kong Qi handled the situation. They couldn't understand why their family's Wang Dynasty Hotel could afford to ignore Rongcheng’s southwestern interests by throwing tantrums, but they themselves could not risk it. Although each of them had a solid footing within their respective families, becoming an unintended casualty under high-level pressure would be a loss too significant to bear.

No matter how much they might jump around, they were still beneath Wang Weiwei's large hand. This Wang Weiwei had the power to topple Liu Cheng, although fundamentally it was the result of collective efforts from various influential figures. However, many people tended to focus on Zhao Lijun and Wang Weiwei as examples.

Wang Weiwei was currently at his peak in terms of reputation and status, yet Kong Qi kept showing off repeatedly towards him. Initially, they thought this wasn't right, as he is such an adult, but still treating him like a child Really thinking that the son of a Secretary of the Municipal Committee could serve them tea and water for life

The world keeps developing dynamically; in the past, people might admire you because when young they didn’t understand things well and liked to follow older figures. But as they grow up, they start assessing their own status and yours too. The most important thing is recognizing your place and being self-aware. It's clear that characters like Kong Qi, who are arrogant in the business world due to success, have tasted bitter fruit.

For a moment, Kong Qi’s situation became a cautionary tale for young individuals with distinguished family backgrounds.

Many also witnessed the impressive resolve of the son of a Secretary of the Municipal Committee for the first time. It turned out he didn’t always greet people with smiling faces and cordial attitudes.

This is another kind of江湖 (underworld/circle). Those who know Wang Weiwei naturally feel very proud, while others want to get in through people, wanting to enter this circle and meet Wang Weiwei, or rather, the man who left a deep impression on him later.

In the villa area of Rongcheng Garden, Wang Weiwei appears somewhat nervous, sitting at his own desk. Lin Luoran and Lin Zhouwu are eavesdropping on Wang Bo's phone call downstairs in the living room.

Wang Bo laughs heartily from time to time, "Oh no oh no, Uncle Kong hasn't aged! Still as vigorous as ever! Is Kong Qi now managing the operations of the Southwest region That’s great news, sorry Uncle Kong, you’re being too formal. Kids sometimes act impulsively and cause minor disturbances, right If you say this to me, aren’t you making things difficult for me Absolutely, absolutely, I’ll definitely visit your esteemed self during the New Year, take care of your health. Looking at how capable that kid Kong Qi is, you can rest assured."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Bo shakes his head; he fears this time Kong Qi must have received a thorough scolding. He just doesn't know if Kong Qi will be more subdued after being lectured.

As expected, Wang Weiwei in the study heard Wang Bo’s voice calling, "Weiwei, come down for a moment."

This made Wang Weiwei’s head ache; it was surely that call from the Kong family trying to mend relations with his father. Now that Wang Bo is calling him out, there must be no good news.

He knew all too well that if the argument he had with Kong Qi were to come out, it would cause huge problems. His father likely detested what he said most about making others aware of one’s identity, implying that they should know he was the number one official's son in this city. Such words wouldn't normally be a problem, but if his father heard them, it could become a big issue.

With a stiff expression, Wang Weiwei sat before Wang Bo who stared at him intently. Seeing how conflicted and almost defiant he looked, Wang Bo didn’t know whether to laugh or scold him. "In two days, I’m going on an inspection tour of several counties for a few days. You guys stay home calmly. Tell Aunt Zhao what you want to eat. School’s about to start, stop roaming around everywhere. Get ready to focus. Here's this card with one thousand yuan inside; use it sparingly. Every month, I’ll regularly deposit pocket money in there. Don’t keep mooching off Luoran.”

Wang Weiwei felt a kind of relief after calamity upon receiving the card from Wang Bo and tentatively asked, "Dad, did Uncle Kong call just now Aren't you angry with me"

After thinking about it, Wang Bo patted his shoulder. "Was it for Su Can You’ve grown up; as long as you know what you’re doing and where you want to go, that’s good."

This left Wang Weiwei speechless for a while. He seemed to feel that he wasn't the only one who had changed; his father also showed some changes since returning from Xiahai.

Amidst the heat of this summer's controversy, Su Can sat under the large banyan tree in the neighborhood garden, with a copperplate printed magazine under his butt and another hand flipping through a copy of "Mass Software."

There is a walkthrough for "Samurai Spirit VII" and photos from Tokyo Game Show. At this time, it was not yet the era of exclusively photographing game girls' long legs and busts, but one could tell that there were numerous beautiful women at such events.

The issue at hand still contains articles on how to achieve Internet connection sharing with Windows 98, as well as guides for DIY Portal Sites. Looking at these contents in the magazine, Su Cen felt excited and thrilled because it signified that many things had yet to happen.

As time passed and his initial focus industries grew, accumulating capital, there would be numerous ways he could invest to expand his holdings in the future.

To put it strictly, a person reborn shouldn't aim to create something entirely new; his creativity was inherently limited. Even if one knew much about the future, it wasn't possible for everything to originate from him alone.

Su Cen positioned himself as an excellent investor. A transnational investment company would rely on think tanks to analyze which companies' products were worth investing in. Strategic industry technological micromanagement required vast data support and analysis guidance provided by the behind-the-scenes智庫, enabling them to engage in territorial disputes and capital warfare with their competitors.

However, Su Cen was naturally endowed with investment prowess. Through his memories of the future, which were more precise than all computers combined, he possessed a resource stored deep within his brain, surpassing modern society's comprehension, even leaving many financial tycoons in awe.

It was time to start acquiring funding for future capital wars.

In a moment of daze, Su Cen suddenly recalled something from his past life. It was vague but seemed to be leading somewhere.

Tang Wu emerged from the courtyard wearing a floral skirt, half-shaded by the trees on her path. This should have been Tang Wu's day to play the piano, but after much persuasion from Su Cen, she had skipped it to go shopping for some "little secrets" between them.

After crossing the zebra crossing and reaching Su Cen, he blinked at Tang Wu's impressive appearance today.

"Is there a problem" asked Tang Wu, frowning.

"You look more beautiful," said Su Cen, never shy about praising her and grabbing her hand in his.

Tang Wu was a bit hesitant, after all this was right at her own courtyard gate. Although it was on the opposite side of the newspaper stand, if she were to run into someone familiar by chance, it would be quite risky. If Uncle and Auntie from inside the compound, who usually regarded her as an exemplary role model for educating their children, saw her being dragged hand-in-hand by Su Can, they might find it as absurd as a hurricane sweeping across the grassland.

On the surface, Tang Wu gave Su Can a glance that said "you're so annoying," but in her heart there was a hint of shyness, happiness, and a bit of thrill brought on by surprise.

Fortunately, the bus arrived.

The two got off at the Ito Yokado mall in the city center.

Tang Wu bought some small accessories for girls, such as hair clips. Her hair wasn’t tied up in a ponytail as usual but fell down naturally. A pearl clip adorned her forehead, making Tang Wu, who was already charming, stand out even more under the elegant lighting of the mall.

When passing by an intimate apparel store, Tang Wu avoided looking directly at it. A semi-transparent blue lingerie caught her eye. If Su Can wasn't around or she had a female friend with her, she would have definitely stopped to take a closer look. However, as this was her first time shopping in a commercial building with a boy, she felt somewhat uncomfortable and quickened her pace when passing by the store.

At that moment, Su Can walked up beside her and whispered into her ear, "That piece is actually quite nice and suits you."

This caused Tang Wu to be momentarily furious, her face turning red as she refused to speak in protest.

In this instant, Su Can wished he could drag out his evil uncle's soul, trample it a hundred times, and then put it back into his head.

Seeing Tang Wu turn cold and refuse to say anything, he felt as if he had stepped on an old French landmine, leaving him stunned. Yet, Tang Wu was no ordinary girl.

In this uneasy moment when he didn’t know how to react, his hand was gently grasped by something soft. Looking over, her side of the face was still flushed.

Evidently, she was angry and embarrassed but didn't want to distance herself from Su Can because of it.is importance to this group stemmed partly from Wang Weiwei's influence behind the scenes and partly because they were already frustrated with Zhao Chengyan. They just needed a reason to confront him,...
