Chapter 123: 123 Sending Charcoal in Snowy Weather (2 more updates)

Listening to Shang Zhi’s words, a gleam of sharpness flashed through Shang Kangsheng’s slightly narrowed eyes.

He stood up straight from the rocking chair, "Good! Well done, little girl! Full of ambition!"

He always knew that little girl wasn’t an ordinary one!

"Dad? What do you mean?" Shang Zhi was somewhat taken aback.

Wasn’t the old man known for despising young people who were impetuous and brash?

Why was he suddenly praising her?

Could it be that he’s getting senile?

"Zhi’er, take my card and visit Chu Group," Shang Kangsheng excitedly took a black card from the table, "I want to invest in Chu Group."

"Dad, you..." Shang Zhi could hardly believe his ears.

The old man said he wanted to invest in Chu Group?

Was this a joke?

With Chu Group’s current situation, even another hundred million would be like throwing money into the water.

"Dad, I know you had some dealings with Mr. Chu before, but the deceased has passed away. You’ve already helped the Chu family a lot when they were on the decline. There’s no need to throw more money into it now, and even our family can’t afford to waste money like this."

"What do you know?" Shang Kangsheng swung his cane and struck Shang Zhi with it, "If I tell you to go, just go. Don’t waste time arguing with your father!"

"Dad!" Shang Zhi was still reluctant. If the old man was becoming senile, he couldn’t afford to be foolish along with him.

"That Miss Chu, you know what she’s like..."

Shang Zhi couldn’t finish his sentence before Shang Kangsheng hit him again with the cane, "I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice! I know what kind of person the little girl from the Chu family is better than you do. Just you watch, one day that little girl will surprise all of you!"

Shang Zhi snorted coldly, "Her? Dad, are you kidding me?"

If the Miss Chu was capable of achieving anything, then it would truly be a case of the Yangtze River flowing backward.

He would rather believe that red rain could fall from the sky than believe that Miss Chu could amount to anything.

Over the years, there have been widespread rumors about Miss Chu.

Surely the old man hasn’t become senile enough to say such foolish things.

"You’re not going, huh?" Shang Kangsheng angrily snatched the black card from Shang Zhi’s hand, "I’ll go myself!"

"Wait, wait, wait," seeing that his father was truly angry, Shang Zhi quickly tried to appease him with a smile, "Dad, don’t be angry, I’ll go right now, immediately."

Shang Kangsheng’s expression finally softened, "Go quickly!"

"Alright, I’m on it."

As he reached the door, Shang Zhi sighed, "It’s easy to add flowers to brocade, but rare to send coal in snow. There are really not many kind-hearted fools like you left. I just hope that Miss Chu isn’t ungrateful..."

Shang Kangsheng threw his cane towards Shang Zhi’s retreating figure, "You fool, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Outside the door, Shang Zhi wailed, "Dad, I’m your own son..."

Shang Kangsheng grunted, "Even those not of my blood wouldn’t be treated as well as you are!"

His judgment of people was not wrong, and he believed that Chu Jin would bring him a miracle.

With hands clasped behind his back, Shang Kangsheng gazed into the distance, his eyes alight with sagacious foresight.

After a while, he beckoned.

The butler approached immediately, "Master, what may I assist you with?"

"How is the matter in Flower City progressing?" Shang Kangsheng remained focused on the horizon, his expression grave.

"Master," the butler bowed slightly, "as you predicted, our people in Flower City have located the young lady and are currently collecting blood samples for a DNA comparison. The results should be available in a week; there’s no need to worry."

Shang Kangsheng chuckled bitterly, "How can I not worry? It’s been 20 years, and the thought that Lin Lan is still out there prevents me from resting easy. I hope it’s really her this time; don’t disappoint me again."

"Only when Lin Lan is found will I be able to rest peacefully..."

"Master," the butler glanced at Shang Kangsheng, "don’t talk like that, you’re still strong and healthy. You’re sure to live a long life."

Shang Kangsheng coughed lightly and patted the butler on the shoulder, "Old friend, I know my body well. If not for worrying about Lin Lan, I should have been a dead man by now..."

The butler sighed softly, his eyes moistening.

He had been with the Shang family for many years, witnessing firsthand the rises and falls, from decay to prosperity.

There’s no better phrase than ’through thick and thin.’

"Master, rest assured, this time we will definitely find Miss Lin Lan."

Shang Kangsheng breathed out slowly, "I hope so."

He hoped Flower City would bring him a miracle.

The news of Shang Kangsheng investing in Chu Group spread quickly, and in a few days, it was published by major financial newspapers.

Chu Jin was also surprised. She did not expect Shang Kangsheng to provide help at such a time.

When she received the call from the director of Chu Group, she almost couldn’t believe her ears.

That’s the Shang family.

Even though Shang Kangsheng had given her a card, promising that she could seek his help if she was in trouble, she had never actually considered seeking aid from Shang Kangsheng.

At this moment, she was sitting in a small pavilion in the park, playing chess with Shang Kangsheng.
