    After lunch, Rong Jiashang and Zhao Huaan went to the study to discuss official matters.  Zhao Huaan watched with his own eyes as Rong Jiashang took out the small seal, stamped and signed, and confirmed that the young master of the Rong family was still in charge, and looked at Rong Jiashang with a somewhat different look.

    "The war in the southwest is intense now, and all kinds of demons are rampant in the local area. The goods shipped from the south have been robbed twice. The generals are busy fighting and can't take care of us." Zhao Hua'an said.

    "Then let's stop the operation first." Rong Jiashang said, "The New Year is coming soon, so let's give the brothers below the annual leave in advance. How is the Meng family doing recently?"

    Zhao Huaan said: "There is no big movement, and small frictions are constant, which is not a problem. Alas, actually, I agree with your way of handling this matter. Our two families are evenly matched. If we fight in a big way, we will only lose both sides and gain the advantage of others."  . It¡¯s just that your father can¡¯t swallow this bad breath.¡±

    "You cannot put aside the interests of the Rong family as a whole just for his personal grievances." Rong Jiashang said, "Those subordinates were also trained by you, Uncle Zhao, and you must feel distressed if they are lost in such a dispute.  "

    Zhao Huaan couldn¡¯t help but nod.

    "Don't worry about it, Dad." Rong Jiashang said, "In the final analysis, his injuries were really not caused by the Meng family, but were caused by himself."

    Zhao Huaan smiled bitterly while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

    Rong Jiashang looked at the sisters Fang Lin and Fang Hua who were walking in the backyard through the glass window, and said: "Uncle Zhao, I am young and have little experience. I am sitting in this seat now because I am Rong Dingkun's."  It's just my son's status. I know that several senior members of the company are not convinced by me. It is only because of your support that I can secure this position. I, Rong Jiashang, will always bear your kindness in my heart."

    "Why are Jiashang so polite all of a sudden?" Zhao Hua'an smiled cautiously, "Since you joined the company, nothing you have done has been bad. Regarding the Meng family, it all depends on your precautions, otherwise  I don¡¯t know how great the loss to the Rong family will be. There were indeed a few old men who thought you were too young before, but after the Meng family incident came out, they all changed their views on you. To be honest, times are different now. Your father and  We can bring down the country, but to carry forward the Rong family, we still need to rely on you young people who have received the new Western education."

    Rong Jia Shang uncorked the wine bottle and poured wine into the crystal wine glass.

    "Uncle Zhao's words really touched the heart of this junior. To tell you the truth, I have always had something in my heart that I wanted to discuss with an elder." Rong Jiashang looked at Zhao Huaan with a deep look and handed the wine glass to him.  In the past, "I want to sort out some of my family's business. Some businesses are too unethical and the profits are just ill-gotten gains. I want to gradually reduce some businesses and then stop them. Uncle Zhao, what do you think?"

    Zhao Huaan slowly sat on the sofa with a wine glass in hand, frowning deeply, and sighed.

    "Jia Shang, what businesses are you referring to?"

    "Big cigarettes." Rong Jiashang said bluntly, "I know that selling big cigarettes has laid a solid foundation for the Rong family's family business. This business has supported the Rong family over the years. But this is not a long-term road, and  It is too unethical and full of sin. If the Rong family does not adjust their property now, they may be restrained and sink into darkness forever."

    Zhao Huaan nodded cautiously and said: "Your father and I have discussed this matter two years ago. We both intend to gradually shift our focus to the transportation trade. However, the profits from tobacco are so huge that it is difficult to give up.  Just give up. It¡¯s a good thing that you young people are passionate about what you do, but the concerns of your elders are often not unreasonable.¡±

    "I know what dad and you think." Rong Jiashang said, "Dad has always been very contradictory. On the one hand, he wants to whitewash the Rong family, and he wants the Rong family to join the real upper class and become celebrities. He is obviously a pawn.  He was born as a peddler, but he pretended to be a declining noble and scholarly family, just to improve the status of the Rong family. But he was reluctant to part with the huge profits brought by opium. He wanted both money and face. "

    "He is also thinking about this family." Zhao Huaan said earnestly, "It is easy not to be in the opium business, but there are so many brothers who have to support it. Jiashang, in our industry, it is not easy to break up."

    "It all depends on people. Besides, there is no such thing as a banquet in this world that lasts forever." Rong Jiashang said with a half-smile, "Uncle Zhao helped my father and is the most hard-working and meritorious member of our Rong family. I will never treat you poorly."  . During the days when I was away, thanks to Uncle Zhao, you took care of the family. I heard before that my wife was in poor health, but today I see that she looks good."

    Zhao Hua'an's hand holding the cup shook slightly, and he chuckled: "You children, call me uncle, and you are a family. It is supposed to take care of each other among family members."

    Rong Dingkun fell, and Rong Jiashang took over his burden.The Rong Family Chamber of Commerce continues to operate, the business that needs to be discussed continues, and the exchange of money and goods continues without any impact.  Rong Jiashang offered an extra year-end bonus, promoted several hard-working and dedicated staff, and fired two cheating assistants. This was to scare the monkeys and win over people's hearts.  The staff was shocked.  Although the elders on the board of directors will not be easily subdued, Rong Jiashang's actions still won him the support of the majority of grassroots employees.

    Rong Dingkun became increasingly difficult to take care of. Rong Jiashang tripled the salary offered to the caregiver to keep him.  Aunt Wang had no choice but to go to serve him, but he always got angry and smashed her head with cups and bowls until her head was bruised.

    After Rong Jiashang had the tableware replaced with the lightest wood, he left the caretakers and went to visit his father with a box of cigarettes that had just been delivered to him.

    Rong Dingkun was still scolding Rong Jia Shang and even his biological mother Tang. When he saw the smoke, his eyes lit up and his tone immediately softened.

    When his biological mother was scolded, Rong Jiashang almost threw the wooden box containing the cigarette on his biological father's head, but luckily he held it back.

    "Dad, do you want to use some?" Rong Jiashang tried his best to maintain the respectful tone of a filial son and grandson, "The doctor also said that if you feel pain in your back, you can use a little appropriately."

    "Yes!" Rong Dingkun has been grumpy recently, and half of the reason is because he stopped smoking. "My waist hurts so much that you can't sleep. Please put it on me quickly!"

    ¡°Have you fallen so far that you use heavy cigarettes to get words out of your own father?  Rong Jiashang smiled bitterly.  But he actually didn't feel too guilty, which was what made him laugh and cry.

    Life can really change a person beyond recognition.

    In the indescribable sweet and smelly smell of tobacco paste, Rong Dingkun's ferocious face gradually relaxed, and his frantic eyes began to become distracted.  Rong Jiashang sat in the chair next to the bed, looking coldly at his father leaning on the bed and puffing away, feeling sick in his heart.

    "Dad," he started, "before you married my mother, did you have a wife and children?"

    Rong Dingkun's reaction was much slower, he slowly turned his eyes over and said, "Who are you?"

    Rong Jiashang sneered, "I am your son, Jiashang."

    Rong Dingkun looked at him hard and said after a moment: "You have grown up."

    This sentence made Rong Jiashang's heart soften again, and his tone became softer.

    "Dad, do you have any children ahead of me?"

    Rong Dingkun frowned and shook his head, "No! You are the first son of my old Qin family!"

    The word "Qin family" also made Rong Jiashang frown, and he remembered that Rong Dingkun was said to have been a son of a foreigner. His surname was Qin at first, and he later recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan.  He just thought his father was confused because he smoked heavily.

    "The first one is my son!" Rong Dingkun said he was excited and said with a smile, "After one birth, he weighs six pounds and eighty taels, but your mother has suffered so much! That cry can even knock down the roof.  .Ha ha!"

    A touch of warmth surged up, and Rong Jiashang sighed softly, letting go of the worry that had lingered for several days.

    "Then why do they say you have a wife and children before you?"

    "Who said that?" Rong Dingkun was unhappy.

    "Madam, there is also Uncle Zhao, even the second uncle knows about it."

    Rong Dingkun thought hard, oops, and waved his hand: "That's not mine, it's my brother's."

    Rong Jiashang was a little confused, "Why did your brother's wife and children count on you, and even your second uncle misunderstood it?"

    Rong Dingkun suddenly fell silent, his face turned gloomy, and he asked, "Why do you ask this?"

    "Dad?" Rong Jiashang was stunned for a moment, "I just want to know, do I still have a sister?"

    Rong Dingkun¡¯s eyes flickered, switching between sinister and confused, as if in his mind, there were two of him fighting for control of this body at the moment.

    In the end, the confused one took the top spot.

    "No!" Rong Dingkun said vaguely, holding a pipe in his mouth, "You are my Qin Shuigan's firstborn son"

    Rong Jiashang breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled slightly.  He stood up and pulled the thin quilt for his father, turned around and prepared to leave.

    "Etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trust you are the eldest among the righteous generation"

    Rong Jiashang put his hand on the doorknob and slowly turned his head back, looking at his father who was lying on the bed.

    "Dad, what did you say? I am a Jia generation."

    Rong Dingkun did not answer.  He was so groggy that he fell into the illusion created by the smoke and could not hear any sound.  #####(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
