Chapter 899: Chapter 567: That Legendary Cousin (Part 3)
Shen Minglang and Cheng Zhu brought up this issue, and it was at that ti he knew Yue Dongyi had introduced a reliable middleman to Cheng Zhu.
This is actually a form of resource.
Because those who work as middlen don’t necessarily take on everyone’s business.
With Yue Dongyi vouching for it, it’s a different story.
Shen Minglang knows very well that Cheng Zhu prefers to spend money to get things done.
At this mont, he looks at Young Master Shen and says, “It’s not that we’ve encountered any problems ourselves this ti, but soone has set their sights on , soone wants to ss with .”
“How is that different?”
“Of course it is!”
Cheng Zhu looks at him and says, “If the other person presents with a problem and I just solve that problem, he will keep presenting problems, you see?”
“It may seem that this problem isn’t too difficult, but if they keep coming one after another, it becos very wearing.”
“Usually, if soone is targeting you, it won’t just happen once.”
“So, the first move should be a deterrent!”
Shen Minglang pondered upon hearing this.
“No wonder, no wonder when I opened a bar back then and faced so troubles, a relative of mine said I should first find soone higher up, and then find soone who can handle the issues.” He realized.
“That’s roughly the principle.” Cheng Zhu said.
Once so things are said outright, they don’t seem so unusual. But in fact, even when he was starting a business in his past life, at first he only knew that when he encountered a problem, he’d just solve the problem.
It was later he understood the importance of “doing it once and for all.”
After a mont of contemplation, Shen Minglang said, “Cousin, I might be able to help out on this ‘deterrent’ thing.”
“Really?” Cheng Zhu didn’t quite believe it.
Just that group of your fair-weather friends?
If they can call out so more folks to have a good ti, maybe they could gather a lineup.
As for other matters, forget it.
If you an getting Shen Guoqiang to step in, that would definitely work.
But cousin, don’t ss it up.
“Really! I can definitely help.” Shen Minglang said confidently.
He looked towards Cheng Zhu and asked, “Hasn’t Jiang Wanzhou told you that we have an older cousin who works in Beijing?”
“Older cousin?” Cheng Zhu was puzzled, “He never ntioned such a person.”
“Oh, that’s normal, we all find him quite annoying.” Shen Minglang shrugged.
Cheng Zhu: “…”
But, the five words “working in Beijing” seem quite significant.
Because he didn’t say: working a job in Beijing, opening a store in Beijing, starting a company in Beijing…
“Mainly responsible for what?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“Just responsible for the internet sector, specifically, I can’t really say.” Shen Minglang’s answer was sowhat vague.
“Much older than you?” Cheng Zhu asked again.
“No, just two years older than .” Shen Minglang replied.
After speaking, he smiled and said, “Cousin, I understand what you an, you think that even if he’s in Beijing, being so young, he can’t have much sway, right?”
“Nonsense, I didn’t an that, I was just curious.” The slick guy said.
“Our eldest cousin is very good at studying, went to Peking University.”
“Then, during school, he fell in love with soone, and she’s a Beijing local with only one child.”
“Eventually, reluctantly settled in Beijing and didn’t co back to Hang City to inherit the family business, ended up as a sort of live-in son-in-law.” Shen Minglang said with a smile.
Cheng Zhu could understand the hidden information in this.
Clearly, Shen Minglang was in high spirits today and continued, “Our eldest cousin is indeed very talkative, full of chatter.”
“However, because of his profession and his wife’s family, he had to learn how to… maybe speak properly? Well, that’s how he puts it.”
“Plus, being a live-in son-in-law carries a bit of that pent-up feeling, with all these family rules.”
“So when we pay him so attention in the family chat group, he just can’t stop talking.”
“We mostly all just ignore him.”
Cheng Zhu was speechless: “Geez, you all have such tough hearts!”
Being a live-in son-in-law is tough.
Surprisingly, the family doesn’t show him more care.
Never mind that over the years being a son-in-law is suddenly trendy, many people shout that they don’t want to strive; however, Cheng Zhu knows so son-in-law friends around him who really don’t have it easy despite appearances, and even those impressive appearances are not necessarily valued by others.
“Ah, it’s all trivial matters.” Shen Minglang waved his hand repeatedly and said, “And when he vents, he really vents, but whenever he ‘flips through old photographs’—you know, talking about past grievances—he’ll bring it up again.”
“He’ll talk about things from two or three years ago, it’s so annoying.”
The slick guy deliberately said, “Ah, but after all, I’m an outsider; would it be inappropriate for you to go to him for help on my behalf?”
“What are you talking about, you’re my cousin, Jiang Wanzhou’s childhood friend, Ningning’s… uh, Ningning’s best friend’s boyfriend and boss too!”
Shen Minglang gave his shoulder a firm pat, repeating that famous line: “Cousin, don’t underestimate yourself.”
Cheng Zhu internally: Alright, Mister ‘Underestimate Yourself.’
Talking up to this point, Shen Minglang laughed and added, “Besides, our eldest cousin is eager for us to seek him for help; otherwise, he always feels like being a live-in son-in-law wasn’t worth it, you see?”
“If only you knew how loudly he boasts normally, although when he and my sister-in-law co to Hang City, even the city’s… eh, let’s leave that unsaid.”
Cheng Zhu chuckled, just thinking how interesting this family seems to be.
These cousins all have their unique traits.
Young Master Shen patted Cheng Zhu’s shoulder again and said, “Also, I plan to inform Ningning and the Little President Jiang later, so the three of us can @ him in the family group, giving him the highest recognition!”
“This is the greatest recognition? What’s so great about it?” Cheng Zhu was speechless.
“Oh, you just don’t get it. The three of us acknowledging him together is his greatest honor in life!”
Cheng Zhu: “…”
In the end, Shen Minglang went straight ahead and phoned Ningning and Jiang Wanzhou to explain the situation and ask them to join in the coordination.
Soon, in their group of four, a scene appeared:
Shen Minglang: @Cousin, save !
Jiang Wanzhou: @Cousin, save !
Shen Qingning, being her prideful self, really couldn’t spit out such nonsense, so she just quietly…
Shen Qingning: @Cousin.
