Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Seeing the serious expression on his father Hou Chengguang's face, Hou Jiacheng nodded honestly to confirm.

"Huang Wu saw it with his own eyes. There was no one else in the car. This is definitely not related to the Zhang family."

Upon hearing this, Hou Chengguang frowned and nodded silently.

Seeing that he was in deep thought, Hou Jiacheng did not dare to say anything to disturb his thoughts. He closed his mouth, sat on the sofa and waited quietly.

Hou Chengguang has been in the business world for many years, and his keen insight is far beyond what Hou Jiacheng can achieve.

He smelled something unusual in the information, although he didn't know who it involved.

But the person that He Yuzhu came all the way from the old city to visit must not be an insignificant person.

After all, for ordinary people, Zhang Zhenkun already has good connections.

However, He Yuzhu did not even use his connections with the Zhang family and went straight to the base in the suburbs. He was definitely one of the most powerful people in charge.

After thinking through all these points, Hou Chengguang turned his stern gaze to Hou Jiacheng, his tone revealing majesty: "Ah Cheng, you haven't resorted to any tricks yet, have you?"

Hou Jiacheng heard his question and noticed that his expression was not right. He quickly replied, "Dad, how could I be so stupid? I came to you now that I know the answer."

Hearing that Hou Jiacheng knew the seriousness of the matter and had not resorted to any despicable means, Hou Chengguang relaxed a little, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Hou Jiacheng secretly felt lucky that he had made the right decision to come to see his father today. It seemed that he really couldn't be reckless this time.

He felt a little uneasy, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Dad, what should we do about this matter?"

Hearing this, Hou Chengguang waved his hand, signaling him to be patient, and said slowly: "Don't worry, let me think about it. By the way, did you go to Chen's house yesterday? Did you find anything?"

Hou Jiacheng carefully recalled the details of yesterday and said, "When I went to Chen's house yesterday, Uncle Chen didn't seem to know that Mr. He had come to Suzhou. I told him about this."

Hou Chengguang asked, "Oh? What's his reaction?"

"His face looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say much." Hou Jiacheng answered truthfully, thinking of the news he told Chen Boting yesterday, and continued,

"However, I also told him the news about foreign trade. I thought I could curry favor with him."

Hou Chengguang didn't care. After all, with the Chen family's connections and status, they would know the news sooner or later.

At this moment, he suddenly had an idea, thinking that Chen Boting must know more than them. Why not take this opportunity to test him?

"Ah Cheng, I'll call Chen's house first to get a feel for what he has to say and see what his attitude is. That way we can know what's going on."

Hou Jiacheng agreed greatly and gave a thumbs up: "Dad, it has to be you! Why didn't I think of it."

Hou Chengguang waved his hand, reached out for the phone, and started dialing the Chen family's number.

He put the microphone to his ear and waved his hand to signal Hou Jiacheng to keep quiet and wait for the call to be connected.

The sunlight poured into the study, and except for the occasional faint sound coming from the phone, everything in the study was immersed in silence.

After a moment, a human voice came from the receiver and Hou Chengguang's facial expression moved slightly.

After listening, he said, "Hello, this is Hou Chengguang, please let Mr. Chen Boting answer the phone."

After receiving the other party's reply, Hou Chengguang's expression obviously relaxed and he cast a look at Hou Jiacheng.

Hou Jiacheng understood what he meant and knew that Chen Boting was at home at the moment, so he just had to wait here.

Not long after, Chen Boting's familiar voice came from the receiver, and Hou Chengguang smiled.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he laughed loudly: "Haha, Brother Bo Ting, long time no see! How have you been recently?"

Listening to Chen Boting's answer, Hou Chengguang tapped his fingers on the desk, making a tiny sound.

"Then I'm relieved." He said gently, "Recently, we've been busy with work, and our two families have had less contact."

Hou Chengguang glanced at Hou Jiacheng casually and responded politely: "No, no, it's his duty for Ah Cheng to visit you, his elder."

"Ah Cheng told me that he had already told you the news about foreign trade. I didn't expect that he was one step ahead of me."

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just about to tell you. This child treats you better than he treats me." Hou Chengguang said in a relaxed tone, praising Hou Jiacheng a little.

After hearing Chen Boting's praise on the phone, Hou Chengguang smiled and cleverly turned the topic to Chen Xueru.

"Haha, your Xueru is getting better and better. I heard that her business is booming recently."

Noticing the subtle change in Chen Boting's tone, Hou Chengguang's expression also became serious.

He asked directly: "With the relationship between our two families, there is no need to say such polite words. I wonder what this girl Xueru thinks?"

When Hou Chengguang heard Chen Boting's ambiguous answer, he already knew Chen Boting's attitude.

He said politely, "Oh, is that so? It's okay, let the next generation solve their own problems. Let's not worry about it so much."

Hou Chengguang deliberately pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's make an appointment to have a good reunion."

After saying that, he gently put down the receiver, hung up the phone, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

Seeing this, Hou Jiacheng stood up to help him refill the tea, and asked nervously: "Dad, how do you feel?"

"Acheng, it seems that your plan to marry the girl from the Chen family will not work out." Hou Chengguang frowned and expressed his judgment bluntly.

Hou Jiacheng was a little dazed for a moment. Suddenly, the beautiful lady was chased away by someone, which caused him some psychological shock.

Seeing the dejection on his face, Hou Chengguang knocked on the table and said in a serious tone: "Humph, don't be so dejected. She's just a woman. Are we afraid that our Hou family won't be able to find a more suitable one?"

Hou Jiacheng gradually came to his senses and knew his father's intention from the beginning, but he found it difficult to accept this reality for a while.

After all, in his heart, Chen Xueru is the best choice in terms of both appearance and talent.

"Dad, I get it," he whispered, trying to calm himself.

Hou Chengguang saw his son gradually calm down and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, this incident can make the Chen family change their minds. It seems that we are right. You should put away your little thoughts and don't act rashly."

Hou Jiacheng agreed to his father's request with a wry smile, knowing that at this moment he should not cause trouble for his family.

"Okay, go to Shencheng in a few days and help me to use my connections to get the trade done as soon as possible." Hou Chengguang ordered.

"Okay, Dad." Hou Jiacheng replied.
