Chapter 1855: Offering Help
Editor. EndlessFantasy Translation
Auntie, you
n.o.body move!
Just as Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che were about to step forward, Lin Yi stopped them.
Fan Shuxian grabbed Lin Yis clothes and sobbed.
You were his team leader. Why didnt you protect him well? We only have one
son. If he leaves, how am 1 going to live?!
Lin Yi stood rooted to the ground like a tall pine tree.
If he could use this to let her vent her emotions, Lin Yi felt that it was worth it.
Fan Shuxian punched Lin Yis chest.
As a mother, she had lost her mind. It was impossible for someone who had never experienced the grief and indignation of losing her son to empathize with her.
Alright, stop fooling around!
Zhou Xicheng shouted coldly, Help your aunt into the house. Ill talk to these
people.
Got it, Uncle.
Fan Shuxian was helped upstairs, and the first floor of the villa fell silent.
Im really sorry, Team Leader Lin. My wife lost her composure.
Its okay. Im responsible for this. Auntie has experienced the pain of losing her son. 1 can understand how she feels.
Team Leader Lin, if you say that, it will make in seem like our Zhou family doesnt know the big picture. Zhou Xicheng said.
When my son joined the Central Guards Brigade, we knew what kind of place it was. When something happened during the mission, we could only say that we were unlucky and couldnt blame anyone else. The situation on the battlefield changed. Youre not a G.o.d, so its impossible for you to take care of so many people. I understand all of this.
Just as the two of them were talking, Fan Jiayi came downstairs.
How is your eldest aunt? Zhou Xicheng asked him.
She took a piece of Dailixin and is already asleep.
Sigh
Zhou Xicheng shook his head with a sigh. She couldnt keep relying on medication every day to maintain her emotional stability.
Jiayi, we have guests. Go make a pot of tea.
Got it.
Zhou Xicheng welcomed Lin Yi and the others to the sofa and said politely,
Team Leader Lin, is there anything specific you need today? If so, just let me know. Ill do my best to cooperate.
Youre overthinking it. Were not here for anything specific. We mainly came to pay our respects to Zhou Liang and to see if theres anything we can help with.
Thank you for your concern, Team Leader Lin. The familys business is now managed by my nephew, Zhou Xicheng said.
Besides that, my niece is also involved. With the two of them, things are under control for now.
What are your plans for the companys future? Lin Yi asked.
I dont have any thoughts for the time being, Zhou Xicheng said without hiding anything.
Im afraid I wont be able to return to the company for the next year or so.
And what about the future?
Future
Zhou Xichang sighed. We dont know anything of the future yet. Im not young anymore. If I still have the energy after a year or so, I might go back. But if 1 dont have the energy, 111 take a back seat.
Lin Yi nodded. If Zhou Liang didnt die, he wouldnt have aged to this state. He could last at least another eight to ten years.
At that time, Zhou Liang could also make contributions and return to Chuansheng with all the honor and resources he had acc.u.mulated.
But now, the Zhou familys plan had been completely disrupted.
After suffering such a huge blow, he probably did not have the energy to
persevere.
Uncle, actually, I have some business matters to discuss with you, Fan Jiayi said.
What would that be?
Zhou Yuan has finalized a few projects in the past few days. I feel that there are some unreasonable points and want to ask your thoughts.
Leave it for now. Well talk about it tomorrow.
Got it.
From Zhou Liangs information, Lin Yi had some understanding of the Zhou familys situation.
This person called Zhou Yuan was Zhou Liangs cousin. He was two years older than him and had been studying in Meiguo. He had only returned last year.
The woman in front of him should be his cousin, Fan Jiayi.
Information on these family members was stated very clearly in Zhou Liangs folder.
Uncle Zhou, we came this time because we were afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation. Lin Yi said.
-If you need anything when it comes to do, you must tell me. I dont dare to say anything else, but 1 can still help the Zhou family reach another level.
Another level!
Fan Jiayi was surprised to hear this.
How capable was his cousins superior to be able to do this?
Thank you, Mr. Lin. Youre still thinking about our Zhou family at a time like this.
Its my job.
With that, Lin Yi stood up. Since theres nothing else happening for now, well leave.
Ill see you off.
Uncle Zhou, please dont. We can walk on our own.
After rejecting Zhou Xichengs good intentions, Lin Yi and Ning Che walked out, and Qiu Yuluo slowed down.
She chatted with Zhou Xicheng for a while.
It was mainly about Lin Yis ident.i.ty. He didnt want them to be exposed now.
After giving instructions, Qiu Yuluo followed him into the car.
The Zhou familys matter has been settled. Whats the next step?
The woman sitting next to Zhou Xicheng was his niece, Fan Jiayi, right? Lin
Yi said.
Judging from their relations.h.i.+p, it should be the case.
She just said that the Zhou familys company has a few projects that seem to be problematic. Can you contact her? Now that were here, if theres really a problem, help her deal with it. Lin Yi said.
Zhou Liang is gone. We cant just ignore his matters.
Consider it done.
Ning Che looked at his watch. I dont think well be able to leave today. Lets find a hotel and settle our accommodation first. Well invite her out for dinner tonight and find out.
Sure.
At four oclock in the afternoon, the four of them checked into the Ritz-Carlton in Chengdu and invited Fan Jiayi to a Western restaurant. They wanted to talk to her about the Zhou family.
Fan Jiayi had a bold and confident personality, usually presenting herself with a strong, authoritative demeanor.
But when she saw Lin Yi and the other two, that confident demeanor vanished. Despite their amicable att.i.tudes, their presence was overwhelming.
She felt like a monkey trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, completely uncomfortable.
-Dont be nervous. Were all comrades of your brother. Were here to see what we can do for the Zhou family. Although we cant bring him back to life, we cant let the Zhou family fall into decline, Qiu Yuluo said.
-My brother died in the line of duty. The government has already given us many benefits, and we cant ask for more, Fan Jiayi replied.
This isnt about the government, its from our personal perspective, Qiu Yuluo explained.
Im the general manager of Zhonglian Group, shes the general manager of Baolong Group, and this one is the chairman of Lingyun Group. We should be able to provide some support to your familys business..
