Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 228 Opportunity to Sow Dissension

The next day, all the major newspapers in Yangcheng published the news that the rose series jointly launched by Bai's Trading Company and Minghua Cosmetics Factory was selling well.

The fact that the Bai family and the eldest and fourth uncles of the Sheng family cooperated to open a power plant was also highlighted.

For a time, the Bai family was the most powerful family in Yangcheng.

"The eldest brother actually cooperated with the fourth brother, and he didn't even tell me about this!"

Steward Fu looked at Second Master Sheng, who was staring at the newspaper with a gloomy face, and smiled ingratiatingly, saying, "Second Master, you know that the newspapers always talk nonsense. In order to attract people's attention, they always make up news that makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false."

Sheng Yuquan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Zexi and the fourth brother went to the Bai's Trading Company yesterday. So many people saw it! No, I have to ask the eldest brother."

After Sheng Yuquan finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the next yard with the newspaper.

As soon as I entered the yard, I met Sheng Zexi coming out of the house.

Sheng Zexi saw that he had a serious expression and was holding a newspaper in his hand, and he understood what was going on.

"Second Uncle, you're here. What's going on?"

Sheng Yuquan was already unhappy when he knew that he was collaborating with the male wife of the Bai family. But thinking of what the old man had said before, he kept silent.

Who would have thought that he actually went with the fourth brother to support the Bai family yesterday.

"Zexi, my second uncle heard that you have been very close to the male wife of the Bai family recently!" Sheng Yuquan said.

Sheng Zexi smiled and said, "Grandfather has given the order to help wherever I can. Besides, this business is a good one that can make money."

Sheng Yuquan said with a cold face, "You two, father and son, really have the same idea as the fourth brother. You both started doing business with the Bai family without any prior agreement. What a coincidence!"

"Second brother is here? Come in and sit down. What are you standing at the door for?"

Sheng Yuqing was not at all surprised by Sheng Yuquan's arrival.

He rubbed his aching temple.

The second child is irrational and easily makes trouble.

Before he could figure out how to tell the second brother about the power plant, the fourth brother and the Bai family revealed it to the newspaper reporter. Now that everyone knows about it, it can no longer be concealed.

Sheng Yuquan walked into the room with a dark face and threw the newspaper on the coffee table.

Sheng Yuqing glanced at the group photo in the newspaper.

The fourth brother, Zexi, the eldest and second sons of the Bai family, and the male wife, the five of them stood side by side with smiles on their faces.

He poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Sheng Yuquan, sighed, and said, "Alright, you're already old, why are you still like a kid, sulking when you encounter something that doesn't go your way?"

Sheng Yuquan frowned and said, "I told you Zexi was working with that man's wife. Why are you suddenly working with the fourth brother?"

"If I don't cooperate with him, he will find other ways to build a power plant," said Sheng Yuquan.

"If you don't sell him coal, he won't be able to build a power plant!"

"He's now cooperating with the Bai family. The Bai family has plenty of ways. That young master Bai has been dealing with foreigners for years, and he knows more about advanced equipment and technology than we do.

The second young master, Bai, came to me and said that if I didn't cooperate with them, they would consider hydroelectric power generation. If that were to happen, no one would be able to stop the Bai family and the fourth young master from rising up.

"I'm collaborating with them, and I'm holding a portion of their wealth and lives in my hands. The Bai family owns six of the power plant, while the fourth brother only owns four. If the fourth brother wants to do anything in the future, he'll have to consider the Bai family's and my opinions. "It's called cooperation, but in reality, it's just a way to contain them," Sheng Yuqing said.

Sheng Yuquan said unhappily, "Then you should have told me! What's the point of keeping me in the dark?"

Sheng Yuqing rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's better for you to know less! Otherwise, you'll have more troubles!"

Yesterday, Zexi told him about the second son being cheated when buying porcelain. Zexi is still investigating and suspects that the porcelain was not obtained from legitimate sources and there is something fishy going on.

Sheng Yuqing thought to himself: I haven't even scolded you yet, and you're questioning me instead. I'd be so grateful if you could just be quiet and not cause trouble!

Sheng Yuquan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Okay, whatever Zexi and I do is for the Sheng family and for us brothers," said Sheng Yuqing.

Sheng Yuquan nodded and left.

"Uncle, I think the white porcelain plate you gave to grandfather is very beautiful. Where did you get it from?" Sheng Zexi stopped him in the yard.

Sheng Yuquan's expression changed slightly, and he touched his nose and said, "Oh, a friend helped me find an antique dealer, and I bought it from him."

"Could you introduce this antique dealer to me? My father's birthday is coming soon, and he also likes antiques." Sheng Zexi said with a smile.

Sheng Yuquan said, "I wonder if he's still in Yangcheng. I'll find out for you later and let you know when I have any news."

Sheng Zexi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for news from my second uncle."

After a few days of investigation, Sheng Zexi discovered that Zhuang Lao San had been in contact with an antique dealer from the provincial capital, but this antique dealer has now disappeared.

Go and ask Zhuang Lao San directly. If he is in cahoots with that antique dealer, it would alert the enemy.

After much thought, it would be safer to let my second uncle go and look for him.

After listening to the boss's explanation, Sheng Yuquan was depressed, but he couldn't refute it. He went home with a lot of anger.

Seeing this, Butler Fu hurriedly poured him a cup of tea and said, "Second Master, the master must have his own considerations for doing this. Just like you, no matter what he does, it is for the benefit of the Sheng family. And you are his brother, he will definitely not abandon you to get on the same boat with the Fourth Master."

Also.

He said the boss was hiding something from him, but he himself was also hiding something from him.

For example, the opium business with Mr. Ge from Yuncheng, and the porcelain he seized from the Bai family.

By the way, Zexi wants to buy an antique as a birthday gift for the eldest brother.

Thinking of this, he called Zhuang Lao San.

"Boss Zhuang, please help me find that Wei Chengzhou."

Zhuang Lao San asked, "I wonder what Second Master wants to talk to Boss Wei about?"

"My nephew wants to prepare a birthday gift for his father. I wonder if Boss Wei has anything good?" Sheng Yuquan asked.

Zhuang Laosan felt nervous. It was not enough that Sheng Zexi sent people to monitor him, he even wanted to use the second master to track him down.

He acted quite quickly and traced the case back to Wei Chengzhou.

But judging from the second master's tone, he probably didn't know about it.

Perhaps this is the opportunity that Young Master Bai was talking about.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lao San pretended to be nervous and said in a low voice, "Second Master, would you please come to my pawnshop in person when you have time? There are some things... I must discuss with you in person."

Sheng Yuquan frowned and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so mysterious?"

"This...it's really inconvenient to talk on the phone. You'd better come over! It's about the treasures in your hands..." Zhuang Lao San hesitated to speak.
