Chapter 726: Chapter 757: Outspoken
Also, I didn’t expect ng Ping, that kid, to be so ruthless this ti! He always seed like a carefree playboy, but he turned out to be quite a tough character. He got his hands on those photos, yet he didn’t reveal who was in them, he’s playing psychological warfare!
One Weekly was able to publish it, and it obviously wasn’t shut down, clearly there’s Su Hai’s help behind the scenes, otherwise, ng Ping definitely wouldn’t have had the capacity to do that. As for ng Xingzhi, he didn’t have to do anything, just maintain silence. Then a large group of people wanted Bai Tian’e and that man dead.
Now people suddenly realize that the Su Family is truly cunning! On the surface, Su Hai gave up a brilliant future with the General Union to start over from scratch at the Trade Union Mansion, and countless people felt sorry for him. But in fact, he laid out a grand strategy, and his political prospects are no less than those in the General Union.
The future will depend on how far Su Hai can go. The higher he climbs, the more it’s like adding wings to a tiger for the Su Family.
Thinking of this, many families turned their attention to Su Huai’an. As the sole heir of the Su Family, he was exceptional in his own right, and he still wasn’t married—how had they not thought of this before!
On the afternoon of the second day of the Chinese New Year, while every household was busy setting off firecrackers and cooking lunch, it was also the first day to go out and pay New Year visits. Sheng Ning and her husband Xu Qigang had just arrived at the Su Family’s not long ago when people started to arrive one after another to offer New Year’s greetings. Most of them were old subordinates of Grandpa Su, and many were friends of Su Jiang or his people. They didn’t bring any valuable gifts to pay New Year’s visits, just so local specialties like free-range eggs. They’d drop off their gifts, greet the old leader, and leave.
Anyone who could co to the General Union Courtyard to pay New Year’s respects to the old leader was either making great progress or indeed had a deep relationship.
Sheng Ning took the initiative to take charge of the kitchen; with so many local products sent by visitors, she finally had the chance to show off her cooking skills.
Xu Qigang was in the living room keeping the old leaders company. The visitors were thrilled to see him. When so inquired about his mission in Country S, he gave brief, vague responses that nonetheless left the listeners feeling exhilarated.
“Grandpa, I’m here to wish you a Happy New Year,” ng Ping’s voice ca from afar outside.
Su Hai and Su Huai’an exchanged glances when they heard it, silently cursing their luck. This freeloading nephew rarely ca to pay New Year calls, so why today?
ng Ping entered with big and small bags, and when he saw Su Huai’an, he tossed him a cigarette, “Here, a Marlboro from Country M.” He then threw a pack to Xu Qigang as well.
“Huai’an, you intellectual, don’t smoke? Forget it.”
ng Ping acted naturally, with no hint of awkwardness.
Su Hai relaxed a little, took the cigarette with discontent, and said, “How co it’s only one pack? Good things should co in pairs!”
“You can’t buy these easily in the country, you think one pack is easy to co by?”
Xu Qigang received it and thanked him with a normal expression.
“No problem!”
ng Ping put down his things and ca forward to greet Grandpa Su.
Grandpa Su glanced at him and said, “Don’t call grandpa anymore, just call Grandpa Su.” The atmosphere in the living room suddenly beca a bit awkward; Grandpa Su had firmly decided not to acknowledge Su Yun.
“Sure! Grandpa Su,” ng Ping readily agreed.
“Why didn’t your father co?”
“He finds it embarrassing; he probably won’t go out at all this year.”
After that remark, the living room fell into another awkward silence. What a loose cannon this kid was, so completely out of control—why would he expose his own family scandal like that?
Grandpa Su was getting on in years and would get tired if he sat for too long, so Su Huai’an helped him back to his room to rest, planning to call him for dinner later. In the living room, Xu Qigang, Su Hai, and ng Ping found themselves with topics to talk about.
