Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Yan's face couldn't help but diminish a lot.

He looked at He Ruifeng and asked, "Uncle He, I don't quite understand what you mean."

He Ruifeng glanced at Chen Yan.

The old fox seemed to have read through Chen Yan's thoughts.

He pointed at Chen Yan and said, "You, sometimes you just think too much."

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to tell you. The fight between Zhao Xuan and Zhao Qingtian is an internal struggle within the Zhao family."

"It has nothing to do with you, an outsider..."

"If you get involved like this, it's very likely that you won't be able to do anything thankless. You may even make yourself embarrassed in return."

He paused and then added, "Although I don't like Zhao Qingtian very much. But to be honest, I am more optimistic about his choice for the future of the Zhao family. Zhao Xuan's choice."

He shook his head and said nothing.

Chen Yan is not someone who trusts people so easily.

Therefore, although He Ruifeng explained it, Chen Yan quietly turned on the [inner headphone] and eavesdropped on He Ruifeng's inner thoughts.

The sounds from the outside world gradually faded away, leaving only He Ruifeng's old heartbeat beating slowly.

Along with the beating of his heart, He Ruifeng's inner voice also sounded in Chen Yan's ears.

"Hey, the Zhao family has been fighting so fiercely during this period. I always feel like something is going to happen."

"Chen Yan is so mixed up, it doesn't feel like a good thing."

"Xiaoxue has recently become obsessed with this little brat. It's reasonable to do so, so I want to give him a hand."

"Besides, around him, only that girl from the Zhao family can compete with Xiaoxue."

"Killing two birds with one stone is a good thing, right?"

After listening to He Ruifeng's inner words, Chen Yan finally understood what He Ruifeng was thinking.

Although there are some of He Ruifeng's own little Jiujiu, but no matter what, he is really doing it for his own good.

With this in mind, Chen Yan sincerely thanked him.

Seeing that Chen Yan had listened, He Ruifeng nodded with satisfaction.

Although he didn't understand why Chen Yan was wary of him one minute and suddenly understood him the next minute. But he just thought that Chen Yan was innately smart and figured out the connection between these things.

After talking about the Zhao family, He Ruifeng took Chen Yan to the restaurant.

At this time, dinner had already been set up in the restaurant.

The dinner was not a sumptuous one, just four dishes and one soup. For families like Chen Yan and He Ruifeng, it was a bit simple.

After the two of them sat down, He Ruifeng said, "I don't treat you as an outsider, so I didn't prepare anything too rich. After all, eating at night is not good for your health."

He glanced at Chen Yan and said, "When I was young, I felt that my body seemed to have endless energy, and then I started squandering it wantonly. When I got older, I realized that it was just a gift of time."

Having said this, he took a bite of green vegetables and said earnestly, "If you have nothing to do, exercise more and eat more vegetables. Be more responsible for your body."

Listening to He Ruifeng's words, Chen Yan was actually a little touched in his heart.

After all, the human heart is made of flesh. It is very comfortable for a person to care about himself.

But when he thought of He Mengxue smoking and drinking, Chen Yan suddenly realized that this old guy didn't seem to even take care of his own daughter. What was the use of taking care of himself?

While complaining in his mind, Chen Yan ate this simple meal.

While eating, He Ruifeng's topic couldn't help but turn to He Mengxue.

He asked more tactfully.

"When do you and Xiaoxue plan to get married?"

Chen Yan:??

At that time, Chen Yan almost spit out a mouthful of rice.

What the hell?

What is the problem?

He couldn't help but cough twice, swallowed his food, and then explained, "Uncle He, Xiaoxue and I are not in the relationship you imagined."

There was no change on He Ruifeng's face. He said "Oh" and then said, "The establishment of a family cannot be achieved simply by relying on money."

"We need resources, we need connections. We need relationships with local places, and we need a large enough industrial chain."

"When I was young, I was very competitive, and I also cared about the continuation of my family."

"But when I get older, I start to look away."

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It is enough to retain some shares so that future children can be protected."

"As for who will manage the He family and accept the He family's property after I retire. Actually, I don't care."

"You can choose a professional manager like Zhao Qingtian. Or you can choose a son-in-law who treats my daughter well."

Having said this, he lowered his head to eat and stopped talking.

Chen Yan carefully studied the meaning of his words and suddenly understood why He Ruifeng mentioned Zhao Qingtian today.

In addition to reminding myself, it is also to foreshadow his words!

His meaning was very clear: if Chen Yan could treat He Mengxue well, then he would be willing to retire, and then leave the entire He family under Chen Yan's control, make Chen Yan a wedding dress, and let Chen Yan fill in his background.

And he didn't even have any other additional requirements. He only asked Chen Yan to reserve a certain amount of shares for the He family so that the children of the He family would have a guaranteed future and be able to distribute dividends and money every year.

This is a temptation, and a huge temptation.

And when Chen Yan was thinking this, maybe he was afraid that Chen Yan wouldn't understand how big the temptation was, He Ruifeng said again, "You may think that as long as you have money, you can quickly develop to the level that the He family is now."

He shook his head and said, "What you think is still too simple."

Seeing that there was something wrong in He Ruifeng's words, Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle He, please give me some advice."

While eating, He Ruifeng explained slowly, "What do you think is the difference between our family and ordinary companies?"

Chen Yan began to think about He Ruifeng's problem.

He said, in fact, the difference is not big, because these families are actually relatively large companies. It is just because most of them use their own people and have been in charge of the company from generation to generation, they have formed a family.

Seeing that Chen Yan had been thinking for half a minute but still had no results, He Ruifeng took the initiative to speak again.

"You should think that we are no different from other companies. Or that we just made the company bigger and passed it down for several generations, right?"

Chen Yan nodded slightly.

He Ruifeng smiled and said, "That's why I say your thinking is too simple."

He put down his chopsticks and explained, "Let me tell you, the formation of our family is not actually due to size or age."

"It's about the jobs we provide for various places, the radiating industries we bring, the fiscal revenue we turn over, and our brand influence across the country."

"This makes us work deeply in the local area, and even kidnaps the lifeblood of the local area. The tail is too big to lose."

After hearing He Ruifeng's words, Chen Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He Ruifeng said with some emotion, "The Internet has been around for so many years. Why did so many families across the country not care about it in the early to middle period?"

"Because, as everyone knows, money is not the most important thing in our country."

He paused and said, "Let me talk about a reform in a certain industry last year."

"At that time, for the sake of the people's livelihood across the country, the country hoped that the industry would be coordinated and planned by the state, industry rules would be determined, and then factories would be built in various provinces, produced, and then sold within the province."

"In this way, the people can get benefits, the country can be managed more conveniently, and the provinces can also get income."

"However, it has been opposed by various places."

"Because, if we follow the national plan, then all relevant industries in various places will have to be overthrown and restarted, which will affect a wide range of people."

"And some provinces are leaders in that industry, and one-tenth of their own fiscal revenue depends on the contribution of this industry."

"If it is unified by the national plan, not only will the province's industrial competitiveness be lost, but a large part of the income will be lost, and many employees will be laid off."

"So, the symposium was held again and again, but in the end, it ended without any resolution."

Chen Yan frowned deeply.

He Ruifeng lowered his head and took a sip of tea while continuing, "These are actually microcosms."

"Because when various places are planning and developing new industries, they will actually ask us to discuss it together."

"Because we already have a great influence in the local area. During our development, many people who cooperated, benefited, and were helped have already been promoted."

"Every move we make actually has a huge impact locally."

"In addition, because of these huge influences, the main figures in our family are actually in the province and serve as certain representatives in the city. If something goes wrong, the relevant departments cannot deal with us directly. They have to report it first

, ask for instructions.”

"There are also other resources and relationships in various aspects. These are the huge wealth left by our development for decades."

Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Yan deeply, "Don't you find it a bit unimaginable?"
