Looking at the mobile phone handed over by Chen Kainan, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Because I didn't expect that things would change to this point, and Chen Longxiang would actually want to talk to me personally.
This old guy is really shrewd, and his keen political sense immediately made him smell something different. He had already begun to doubt my identity.
I was a little nervous at this moment, but I couldn't explain why I was nervous.
Is it because of his high position and authority? So high that ordinary people like us can only look up to him.
Or is it because he is actually my grandfather too?
In other words, he is my father-killing enemy.
But no matter what it is, I shouldn't be afraid, right?
After all, I am not an ordinary person.
I couldn't help but ask myself in my heart, "Zhang Jiuyang, Zhang Jiuyang, what are you afraid of? After finally coming into contact with your enemy, are you so cowardly?"
No, I can't be cowardly!
The road of the strong is destined to be full of ups and downs.
I took a deep breath, and couldn't help but think of my father's death, my grandfather's unwilling eyes, and my mother's miserable back that I had sketched in my mind.
As I thought about it, a surge of overwhelming hatred burst out from the bottom of my heart. It was this hatred that washed away the awe in my heart and made my eyes become firm.
If I don't even dare to answer his call, how can I take revenge?
I know that he holds a high position of power and only covers the sky with one hand, but these are all difficulties that I must overcome on the way forward.
so……
All fear and awe, please get out of my body.
I shouted in my heart, and then stretched out my right hand without hesitation.
At this time, I saw the old lady gently shaking her head at me, with a worried look in her eyes. It was obvious that she didn't want me to talk to Chen Long on the phone.
Facing the old lady's worries, an indifferent smile slowly appeared on my face.
Since I have long been prepared to be shattered into pieces, I should have no fear in my heart.
The next moment, my fingers touched the phone and I slowly grabbed it from Chen Kainan's palm.
Very heavy!
There has never been a moment when I felt that a mobile phone was so valuable.
The old lady stared closely, her eyes extremely complicated.
There is tension, encouragement, hope, and a touch of sadness...
"Hello!"
My voice is a little dry.
"Are you Brother Zhang?"
Chen Longxiang's old voice came clearly from the receiver.
He was very calm and could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
I don’t know if it’s because of this, but my mood also calmed down.
And, suddenly I wasn't nervous anymore.
"It's me, are you Mrs. Chen?" I said calmly, not even using the honorific title for him.
This seemed to surprise Chen Longxiang, and he hummed softly.
"It's me. I've heard everything about what happened before. I would like to thank Brother Zhang for his generous helping hand, old man!"
Although Chen Longxiang was saying thank you, his tone was full of light vigilance and there was no hint of gratitude at all.
I smiled coldly in my heart, this is better.
"It's good for the old man to know. There's no need to say anything polite. Since I saved the lives of the Chen family, shouldn't the old man also do this for me?"
I'll go straight to the point, because I don't want to be conceited at all towards this old guy.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kainan's eyes almost fell down, and he looked at me with his mouth wide open in disbelief. Obviously he didn't expect that I would dare to talk to his grandfather like this.
However, when the old lady saw me looking like this, she was obviously relieved and looked very happy. She nodded with a smile on her face.
Chen Longxiang obviously didn't expect that I would be like this, and he couldn't help being slightly stunned.
“Little brother is really direct!”
"It's better to be direct. If you are direct, you don't have to arouse the old lady's suspicion, right?" I said calmly.
Chen Kainan was immediately startled. He winked at me quickly and kept gesticulating with his hands in the air, fearing that I would offend Chen Longxiang.
After all, what I said can be regarded as criticizing the old man's villainy.
Sure enough, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
"It seems that I was right. Mr. Chen is doubting me, right?"
"Since little brother Zhang is quick to talk, I won't hide the old man. I want to know what role little brother Zhang plays in this matter? Is there anyone else behind it?" Chen Longxiang said.
I smiled indifferently, "Is this important? Is it possible that the lives of your Chen family are not worth the position of a mere chairman in Seoul?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Kainan finally couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly grabbed the phone in my hand.
"Brother Zhang, don't talk nonsense!"
I stretched out my arm to hold it, and then pushed her down on the chair with a little force.
But Chen Longxiang on the other end of the phone suddenly burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
He said three good words in succession, "Sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. I haven't met such a spirited young man in a long time."
I smiled coldly, "There's no need for compliments. I just want one result."
Chen Longxiang on the other end of the phone hummed softly.
"Okay, since little brother Zhang has saved our Chen family, and I, Chen Longxiang, am not a person who never repays his kindness, you are right. No matter who you are or what your purpose is, I am just a chairman of the board.
Don’t take it seriously yet, I’ll help you with this matter, just as repaying the favor to Brother Zhang! How about it?”
I suddenly felt happy. I didn't expect that old bastard Chen Longxiang would agree so happily.
However, I did not get carried away by this. The more critical the moment, the more I have to stay calm.
"Okay, but I have one condition." I said.
"Are there any conditions?" Chen Longxiang's voice suddenly became a little colder.
"Yes, I need the appointment letter to be issued within three days."
"Three days?" Chen Longxiang was stunned.
"Yes, it's three days." I said without hesitation.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This is not a trivial matter." Chen Longxiang seemed a little embarrassed.
"It's just self-protection. I wonder if Mrs. Chen has this ability?"
This time I directly used the provoking method.
Sure enough, the old man is very fond of this trick.
"Hmph, little brother Zhang, don't underestimate me. Three days is all. I agree to this matter." Chen Longxiang said.
I laughed, very happily, and then hung up the phone directly.
Chen Kainan let out a long breath, as if he had been held back by hanging, and then slowly gave me a thumbs up.
I nodded to the old lady, put my phone on the table, turned around and walked out.
"The Phoenix Flower needs catalysis, you are waiting for my news!"
After saying that, I closed the door.
I didn't go to eat, but went back to the room directly. Fatty and the others hadn't come back yet.
The window was not closed, and a cool breeze came in.
I walked to the balcony, and a yellow leaf happened to float into the window and landed in the flower pot.
I reached out and twisted the leaves.
Raise your head and look out the window at the world.
There are still a few yellow leaves floating in the sky.
