Chapter 236 - A Good Match
The most important figure of the Dong family was called Dong Yaozu. He was the person who led the Dong family’s strong rise and was also Dong Yuan’s father. Dong Yaozu was 58 years old this year. He was not considered young, but compared to Dong Yaozu’s current position, he was still not considered old. Dong Yaozu’s current rank was higher than even Zhou Anguo’s. Moreover, he walked the orthodox path of political promotion. With Dong Yaozu’s current rising momentum, it was completely possible for him to take another step forward in the future. Although he did not have the strength to destroy the Shao family immediately even if he entered the highest position, this was based on the fact that the old master of the Shao family was not dead yet! However, the old master of the Shao family was already over eighty years old. How many more years could he live? Once the old master of the Shao family died, many of the Shao family’s connections would be lost. At that time…
Therefore, the matter of Shao Ying killing Dong Yuan was really a ticking time bomb. It was a very powerful one! Once it exploded, unless the Shao family gave up on Shao Ying, the entire Shao family would be in danger. However, even if the Shao family did not protect Shao Ying, the tie between the Shao family and the Zhou family was Shao Ying! Once Shao Ying was given up, the alliance between the Zhou family and the Shao family would… the more Zhou Anguo thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very important. If what Jiang Tong said was true, then would the Zhou family really want to get involved in the muddy waters of the marriage between the Zhou family and the Shao family?
This was the fatal weakness that Jiang Tong had on Shao Ying. It was not the only one. The problem with that woman, Shao Ying, was too big. Jiang Tong just did not want to drag it out for too long and spend too much time on this matter. Therefore, she chose the most direct and fatal one.
“Uncle, you can choose to remind the Shao family. It doesn’t matter.” Jiang Tong saw the change in Zhou Anguo’s expression. She smiled and said, “However, I don’t think that this is a good choice. The Wang family is the Zhou family’s biggest ally. The Shao family… you’ve only started working together in the last few years. Because Zhou Jingyun has always disagreed, the two families are also very cautious in working together. You can change your partners, right?”
Zhou Anguo looked at Jiang Tong with a dark expression and didn’t speak. He had already guessed who sent Jiang Tong to deliberately break up the marriage alliance between the Zhou family and the Shao family!
“I think the Dong family is a good choice,” Jiang Tong smiled again. “Dong Yuan has a younger sister called Dong Qiu. She’s the youngest daughter of Dong Yaozu’s younger brother, Dong Yaozong. She just graduated from university a year ago. I think she and Zhou Mingfei are quite a good match.”
Zhou Anguo felt that Jiang Tong’s words were a little funny. It was as if she had arranged everything clearly for the Zhou family. However, how could a marriage alliance between large families be so simple? Putting it simply, the Zhou family and the Dong family were not familiar with each other. They did not even have the least bit of trust in each other. How could a marriage be arranged?
“I heard that Dong Yaozu has an opponent surnamed Qu. They have a competitive relationship and are each other’s stumbling blocks to promotion.” Jiang Tong smiled and said, “Do you need me to give you some evidence against Qu so that you can help Dong Yaozu defeat his opponent? I think that Dong Yaozu will thank the Zhou family when the time comes. Am I right, Uncle?”
Zhou Anguo’s expression changed drastically. Of course, he knew who Jiang Tong meant by the person with the surname Qu. Since Jiang Tong mentioned this person, it meant that she had a deep understanding of the competition between the big families! More importantly, Jiang Tong actually said that she had something on Qu! From the start until now, Zhou Anguo felt that what Jiang Tong said was not true. But he was afraid that it might be true. However, as Jiang Tong mentioned more and more people, Zhou Anguo felt that Jiang Tong’s words were more and more credible. This was because the bigger the lie, the greater the implications, and the easier it would be to expose it. Who would say a lie that would be easily exposed? That would be meaningless. The conversation between the two of them today would also become meaningless.
Zhou Anguo stared at Jiang Tong and re-examined the extremely beautiful woman. Jiang Tong was always calm and composed. This kind of calmness should not be something that a young woman in her twenties could have! Zhou Anguo felt that the person sitting in front of him was not a young woman, but an old fox who spoke slowly and thoughtfully.
The room was silent. Zhou Anguo slowly sat down. He calmed down and deliberately hid his emotions. “Tell me,” Zhou Anguo said expressionlessly, “What do you have on Qu Beimin? What do you know about him?”
“Eleven years ago, Qu Beimin was the second-in-command in the Northeast Province. In order to give the Northeast Real Estate Group the green light to bid for the construction of the new district, he sold the land at a low price,” Jiang Tong said directly. “Ten years ago, the Northeast Real Estate Group went bankrupt because of a capital chain rupture. Several buildings under construction in the new district, including the office buildings in the core district, were all unfinished. The owner of Northeast Real Estate Group ultimately jumped to his death!”
