Chapter 1821: Chapter 1441: The Dong Family Shows Gratitude
In the Dong Family’s villa in Tianhu, the living room was empty. Dong Tianlu dismissed everyone else, sitting alone on the sofa. Her exquisite brows furrowed, adding a touch of gravity to her charming face.
She had just received a phone call from Luo Zitian.
Over the phone, Luo Zitian confidently informed her that Zhengdong Province had enlisted the help of someone from the Lin Family.
He said that it would pose a threat to their plans to control Shengsheng International tomorrow.
“The Lin Family!” Dong Tianlu pondered over these two words.
Within Huaxia, there was more than one Lin Family, and not just one family with the surname Lin. But if Luo Zitian was truly referring to that “Lin Family,” then it might be troublesome!
That Lin Family, situated in the special administrative region, stands firm against storms, unfaltering for a century, with strength comparable to Tengyun and Yuema.
If they truly intervene, the problem would be complicated!
“That Lin Family’s region is unique, isolated from the mainland. Neither my Dong Family, nor the Ma Family, or even Haoyu have reliable connections to swiftly uncover the truth. This is an enormous problem! Moreover, if they are truly interested in intervening, could inquiries through intermediaries reveal the truth?!” Dong Tianlu muttered to herself, “Yet not investigating is not an option, even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance, it would be enough to let us fall into significant passive problems and trouble!”
Dong Tianlu’s eyes flickered with uncertainty.
“Luo Zitian definitely didn’t tell me about this issue first; he must have reported it initially to Ma Zongting of Yuema Group!”
Dong Tianlu muttered, “Ma Zongting, that old fellow, I wonder what he’s thinking now. Has he already gone to touch base with the Lin Family?”
Ma Zongting is the head of Yuema Group and also the father of Ma Tianqing. He initiated this Tengyun Yuema battle. Over the years, both Tengyun and Yuema have developed rapidly and aggressively, causing fierce conflicts and competition in various markets and fields, refusing to compromise. Two titans clashing must reach an equilibrium, or else commercial wars are inevitable! This is what they call industry reshuffling!
Yet, starting a battle as frantically as Ma Zongting did is certainly beyond what normal people can conceive.
“Regardless, right now, my Dong Family has been pulled into this chariot of war, exerting efforts to join in. Whether to eat meat or just drink soup would be fine! But chewing on tough bones, risking breaking teeth, that’s not acceptable. I need to contemplate more ways to respond if unfavorable situations arise…” Dong Tianlu mumbled, stroking her fair chin.
Dong Tianlu has a habit of self-talk when she’s pondering, not allowing others to interrupt.
Thus, no servant of the Dong Family dares to enter unbidden.
Yet at this moment, footsteps sounded.
Dong Tianlu’s thoughts were disrupted. She frowned in displeasure but soon her expression eased, guessing who dared interrupt her.
Dong Tianxiu hurriedly entered, arms full of things. Seeing Dong Tianlu sitting there alone, he realized the servant seemed to have some words to say, but he walked in directly without listening, and immediately smacked his forehead.
Dong Tianxiu cautiously asked Dong Tianlu, “Did I interrupt you?”
Dong Tianlu smiled and shook her head.
To her dear younger brother, no matter how troublesome her concerns were, she’d always greet him with a smile.
“How do you feel today?” Dong Tianlu picked up her coffee, motioning towards the file folder tucked under Dong Tianxiu’s arm, asking with a smile.
Dong Tianxiu mentioned he wanted to take over some family business, and Dong Tianlu as his sister, handed him management of a company worth several hundred million directly.
Dong Tianlu stated, if Dong Tianxiu didn’t manage well, losing money or even closing the company down, she’d hand him another new company, and if it closed again, she’d give another, repeating this until Dong Tianxiu became competent in management.
Dong Tianlu said a successful entrepreneur needs to handle their enterprises through repeated cycles of life and death to develop their abilities.
She’s willing to invest this much, and the Dong Family can afford such ventures.
Dong Tianlu even told her brother, “If you shut down companies as fast as I open new ones, that’s something commendable!”
To outsiders, Dong Tianlu would never let go of undue losses, yet she’s willing to spare nothing for Dong Tianxiu.
However, Dong Tianxiu definitely isn’t a wastrel; when he wanted to get involved in business, he dedicated himself entirely, now busy almost every day, learning every aspect.
Dong Tianlu sees this, feeling both gratified and a bit distressed.
Of course, no matter how distressed, she wouldn’t hold back, interrupting her brother’s enthusiasm.
“Today, it’s alright! I’ve learned quite a lot, it’s just the time never seems sufficient!” Dong Tianxiu replied with a smile, yawning widely as he spoke.
By now, his eyes were heavily shadowed, seldom sleeping before midnight.
Dong Tianlu nodded and smiled, “Tianxiu, tonight, don’t stay up late; sleep early. Tomorrow I’ll take you to an important business event, allowing you to feel the atmosphere, observe the entrepreneurs’ manners, thinking styles — it’ll be beneficial for you. Many things can’t be taught, need to experience them by observing, listening, and understanding.”
While sipping coffee, Dong Tianlu added, “Tomorrow, we’ll attend discreetly, without revealing our identities.”
Dong Tianlu’s approach was quite scrupulous, ensuring Dong Tianxiu’s growth while allowing him rest, perfectly catering to Tianxiu’s inquisitive nature. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
“Ah…” Dong Tianxiu nodded, “Alright! I’ll go to bed early tonight then!”
Seeing her younger brother’s interest and obedience, Dong Tianlu’s mood lifted considerably.
“Oh right, Chen Feiyu mentioned that on your way home, someone helped you out twice? I also only caught a word during the rush that day, haven’t had the chance to hear it properly with all the busyness. If there’s time, I’d love to hear you share the details.” said Dong Tianlu.
Concerning her brother’s matters, she could certainly carve out time to inquire thoroughly.
Yet she wants to hear Dong Tianxiu narrate, counting as a form of exchange with her brother.
Dong Tianxiu nodded, correcting his sister’s comment, “It wasn’t just helping me, it was saving me twice! Life-saving kind! And we became friends afterward. It’s because of him that I decided to take over the family business. Sis, when there’s time I must tell you in detail! And I’ll have to invite him to our home as a guest!”
Hearing Dong Tianxiu articulate this, Dong Tianlu was somewhat surprised, realizing she had underestimated the situation.
No wonder Dong Tianxiu came back wanting to take over the family business; she herself was puzzled over his sudden enlightenment, only to find it was someone else’s guidance.
“Hmm, hearing this, that person indeed is a benefactor to our Dong Family!” Dong Tianlu nodded, smiling affirmatively, “My brother’s benefactor must be acknowledged! So, when this busy period ends, you invite him to our home as a guest. I also want to meet him and repay him well! We cannot let people think the Dong Family doesn’t know how to be grateful!”
