572 There is no such thing as a sure win

"Old Secretary, Uncle Zhang is okay. At least he hasn't caused you any trouble over the years, right?"

Under the voice of Mr. Zhang, look at what you have accomplished.

Ye Chen shook his head and smiled lightly.

He obviously could understand Zhang Xingguo's excitement and loss of composure.

"Hasn't he caused me any trouble yet? If you hadn't asked him to investigate Kong Liqun last time, and if you hadn't reminded him to find out that Kong Liqun had secretly built shoddy projects in order to get kickbacks, once those shoddy projects were exposed, the entire Zhang family would be doomed because of him. Not only would my reputation be ruined, I would also be angry to death!" Zhang Weimin said angrily.

"But the problem hasn't been exposed yet, and the shoddy construction can't be blamed entirely on Uncle Zhang…" Ye Chen tried to smooth things over with a little embarrassment.

After all, if it weren't for his rebirth, if it weren't for fate that made him meet Zhang Jingshan in the antique market.

If the Zhang family repeats the mistakes of their previous life, they will truly fall into the abyss of hell from which there is no escape.

"Don't you blame him? If he hadn't hired the wrong people, those things wouldn't have happened. They were just safely resolved in advance. Otherwise, once the bombshell explodes, he will have to bear all the responsibility. At that time, all the official and social criticism will be directed at him, or even at me, and no one will care what role he, Zhang Xingguo, played in the whole incident!" Zhang Weimin became more and more angry as he spoke.

"Old Secretary, this is all in the past, and it has been properly resolved. Why are you still fussing about it?" Ye Chen said with a wry smile.

"It's not that I want to compete, it's just that this old guy hasn't done anything that makes me satisfied in all these years except taking over your Yiren Ruxue production park!" The more Zhang Weimin spoke, the more upset he became.

This also reflects that he is truly sincere to Ye Chen.

Otherwise, with his kind of character, how could he possibly criticize his son's shortcomings in front of an outsider?

"Old Secretary..."

Just when Ye Chen was still thinking about saying a few good words for Zhang Xingguo.

The latter interrupted bitterly, "Xiao Ye, you don't have to make up for me. I've been used to being scolded by the old man over the years. He is right. I haven't done much to satisfy him over the years. I also know my own worth. Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that if I, Zhang Xingguo, was not Zhang Weimin's son, I would have been living a mediocre life, running around for food and clothing!"

"Alright, alright, just go do your thing and don't stand here. I want to have a good chat with Xiaoye!"

After hearing Zhang Xingguo say this, Zhang Weimin couldn't bear to scold him anymore.

Although Zhang Xingguo was not very capable in his eyes, it could not be denied that he was impeccable in terms of his integrity, loyalty and filial piety.

Zhang Xingguo, who originally wanted to improve his relationship with Ye Chen, was shocked by the old man's words.

He could only stand up with a look of embarrassment, "Okay, then you can have a good chat with Xiao Ye, I'll go to the construction site first to take a look! Just as Zhang Xingguo turned and left.

Zhang Weimin suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!

"Master, what's wrong?

"You must pay great attention to the process quality of the Yiren Ruxue Production Park. In addition, although Xiaoye said that he would let your construction company start the construction of the Mid-Mountain Villa District after the construction of the Yiren Ruxue Production Park is completed, you must remember that you must not be perfunctory in pursuit of construction progress!" Zhang Weimin tapped.

Little did he know that Zhang Xingguo smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, I have been your son for more than 50 years. Don't you know what kind of person I am better than anyone else? Can I do such a thing?"

"Get lost!"

Zhang Weimin nodded and waved his hands, and sent Zhang Xingguo away.

"Old Secretary, is it really okay for you to scold Uncle Zhang like this? If it was Jingshan, it would be fine, but Uncle Zhang is already this old, aren't you a little...?"

After Zhang Xingguo left, Ye Chen couldn't help but say.

However, Zhang Weimin shook his head and said, "Xiao Ye, you don't understand. This old guy can't stand not being scolded for a day. He is too easy to get arrogant and forget himself. If I hadn't scolded him from time to time over the years, I'm afraid he would have gotten carried away! Of course, what you said is not unreasonable, but he won't blame me for these things. If he really wanted to complain, he would have done it in the past years!"

At this point, Zhang Weimin smiled and waved his hands, "Okay, let's not talk about Xingguo anymore, let's have a good chat. When was the last time I saw you? It's been a while. If I don't call you, are you going to stop coming to my place?"

"No, no, no, old secretary, I'm just afraid that you will think too much. The plagiarism dispute with Tencent some time ago has not been resolved. I'm afraid that if I come to you, it will bring invisible pressure to you and make you think that I want to ask you for help in this matter. So after thinking about it, I'd better wait until those troubles are resolved before coming to you!" Ye Chen said repeatedly.

"Why would I feel any pressure? Even if you want to ask me for help, isn't that right? But let's talk about it. Regarding your previous lawsuit with Tencent, Xiaoye, if you ask me for help, I will definitely risk my reputation to help you as much as I can!

After a pause, Zhang Weimin continued, "Of course, even if I risk my reputation, I don't think it will have much effect. After all, Tencent is different from ordinary companies. With my limited energy, I can't help you much!

After that, Zhang Weimin changed the subject and continued, "But regarding the lawsuit between you and Tencent, to be honest, I didn't think you would lose from the beginning, because based on my understanding of you, your vision and foresight, it is impossible for you not to foresee that you would face the situation of being copied by Tencent, but you still forge ahead, so I think you probably have already won from the beginning!"

"I can't say I'm sure of winning! But it's the same as you said, old secretary. Admittedly, I foresaw from the very beginning that Tencent's games would be 100% plagiarized. At the same time, I also thought of many coping strategies after being plagiarized. However, based on Tencent's giant status, to be honest, I was also unsure deep down in my heart. But no matter whether I am sure or not, I have made up my mind. If Tencent dares to plagiarize, I, Ye Chen, will fight the lawsuit even if I lose everything I have!" Ye Chen said in a low-key manner.

"You are unsure deep down? Not necessarily! Haha..."

Zhang Weimin's seemingly turbid old eyes showed some wisdom, "Are you the only one who would fight a battle that you are not sure of? I'm afraid you have already connected with the superiors from the beginning, so that you can win. Xiaoye... Although there are some things that I am not suitable to ask, and I am even more inappropriate to gossip and be curious, but I really want to know, when did you connect with the superiors? Also, in this lawsuit, which sacred person did you find to put pressure on the Nanshan Court? Can you tell me about it? Of course, if you feel it is inconvenient to say, then just pretend that I didn't ask. After all, to be honest, it is really inappropriate for me to ask these questions!"
