Chapter 290 A plan within a plan
Rather than saying that Xie Zhan accompanied Chen Baozhu back to her parents' home, it would be better to say that he took her back to her parents' home along the way.
Originally, Xie Zhan had to go to the Chen Mansion almost every day to help Chen Jiaye handle the affairs of the Chen family. But he never slacked off, rain or shine.
Chen Jiaye was very satisfied with him and felt that it was the right thing for the Chen family to recruit him as their son-in-law.
When they arrived at the Chen Mansion, it was almost noon, and the Chen Mansion was setting up a meal, so they sat down to eat together.
There was a fish dish in the meal prepared by Chen's mother, which was placed right in front of Chen Baozhu. She smelled the fishy smell and couldn't help feeling nauseated.
Not long after, the doctor invited diagnosed Chen Baozhu to be more than one month pregnant.
Everyone present was very happy when they heard this.
After the meal, Chen Jiaye and Xie Zhan went to the study to discuss matters.
As soon as he entered and the door was closed, Chen Jiaye couldn't wait to ask, "Azhan, what's going on over there at Xiaozhuya Island?"
Xie Zhan came back from Zhuya Island last night. In fact, Chen Jiaye had already learned the results from his cousin Chen Jiayu who went to Zhuya Island with him, but he still wanted to hear Xie Zhan say it in person.
Xie Zhan knew that he was asking about the gold mine discovered in the Chen family's territory on Zhuya Island.
For some reason, he was very knowledgeable about gold mining.
When he first got the Chen family's information about Xiaozhuya Island, he felt something was wrong. When setting up the venue later, he personally went to Xiaozhuya Island and found a gold mine there.
After Xie Zhan conducted an on-site survey, he concluded that the gold mine was not very large and of average quality. He did not hide the matter and told Chen Jiaye, thus gaining his complete trust.
After Chen Jiaye learned the news, he secretly sent people to survey secretly, but the answer he got was that the quality of the gold mine was not ideal, and the entire mine would not be very large.
Chen Jiaye was not satisfied with this answer, thinking that Xie Zhan had discovered the gold mine, so he arranged for Xie Zhan to follow him to Xiaozhuya Island for investigation.
In response to Chen Jiaye's question, Xie Zhan shook his head, "I can't tell, but Master Ma and others are experienced, so it shouldn't be wrong to listen to them, right?"
After Xie Zhan said this, he shut up. How to make the decision is entirely left to Chen Jiaye.
Chen Jiaye sighed in his heart, our children are so knowledgeable that they can even discover gold mines.
Looking at his family and then his youngest son, Chen Jiaye felt very heartbroken.
Fortunately, Xie Zhan is now his son-in-law, and can also be regarded as his son-in-law. Thinking of this, Chen Jiaye felt a little relieved.
But Chen Jiaye only laughed for a moment. Thinking of Xiao Zhuya Island, he sighed, walked around the study with his hands behind his back.
At the beginning, Xie Zhan's plan for the Chen family required such a place to implement the plan.
At that time, he thought of Xiao Zhuya Island in Zhu Yazhou.
The plan had been formulated at that time. Xie Zhan went over to inspect the terrain and accidentally discovered a gold mine in their territory!
When Xie Zhan reported the situation, he had no idea that the Chen family's land on Zhuya Island would contain such a big surprise.
By the way, this place was found for the Chen family when Xue Guangxian was still there. At that time, Xue Guangxian strongly wanted them to take down Xiao Zhu Yaniao, and he even gave up other interests for this purpose.
God knows, when he learned about this big surprise, he almost fainted.
Unfortunately, the gold mine is not large and the quality is not ideal.
So, what should he choose next?
Discovering a gold mine and submitting it to the court is also a meritorious service.
But because the gold mine is small and of poor quality, even if it is reported to the emperor, the credit will not be great.
So, are they now going to directly report the gold mine discovered on Zhuya Island to the court? Or are they going to carry out the original plan and just replace the bait with a more fragrant small gold mine?
Now their plan can be completely changed to using the gold mine on Zhuya Island to lure the Zhu family into taking a sum of money.
After the goods and silver are settled, later, the matter of the Zhu family's private gold mining will be brought to the emperor to make a meritorious service. When the emperor disposes of the Zhu family, the Chen family, who is ready to attack, will be able to eat away at the lightning speed.
The power zone and market share vacated after the fall of the Zhu family were used to strengthen the Chen family.
If the plan goes well, the Chen family can take over half of the Zhu family, and they will be comparable to the Gu and Lu families.
Chen Jiaye didn't know that his original plan was just part of Xie Zhan's plan.
Xie Zhan sat aside, looking at his nose and heart, and occasionally took a sip of tea. On the surface, the matter had nothing to do with him and was completely left to Chen Jiaye to make the decision.
However, he was counting silently in his heart.
Xie Zhan is betting on Chen Jiaye's ambition.
Chen Jiaye quickly made a decision, "Just execute it as planned."
Hearing this, Xie Zhan's heart burst into flames. It was obvious that he had made the right bet.
"At present, all the layout before the launch plan has been arranged."
"Then let's start the plan. You will be responsible for the follow-up matters. You know what kind of result I want."
Xie Zhan: "Don't worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law will make arrangements. After this matter is completed, father-in-law must not forget his previous promise."
Chen Jiaye smiled and patted his shoulder, "Don't worry. You are my son-in-law and we are all part of the family. I will not treat you badly."
Suddenly, Chen Jiaye asked a very abrupt question, "I heard that you and Lu Yuan's legitimate daughter Lu Fei met alone at Jingci Temple?"
Xie Zhan frowned, "Zhao had a stomachache that day, and my mother said it was due to a collision. Later, my son-in-law accompanied his mother to Jingci Temple to ask for a peace charm for her and the child in her belly."
"At that time, the horse in the carriage that Miss Lu was riding in was frightened. Seeing that the person was about to fall out of the carriage, my son-in-law had to have someone come to rescue him. After Miss Lu was rescued, she came to thank me. This is probably what happened."
Chen Jiaye nodded and let the matter pass, because he found out that this was indeed the case.
"But father-in-law, this matter was a mistake. I can use Lu Fei..." Xie Zhan roughly told him his next action.
Chen Jiaye nodded, "It's up to you. Everything depends on our plan."
When Xie Zhan came out of the Chen Mansion, it was afternoon and the sun was dazzling.
Chapter completed!
