The Cherished Old Time - C175
After Shang Duo introduced himself, Yu Meng found out that he was Shang Hui’s brother. No wonder she felt that he looked a little familiar.
The black-eyed, black-haired man emitted his own might without getting angry.
Yu Meng subconsciously felt that none of those with the surname Shang were good people.
“Do you know what I found when I was investigating the merchant house?”
Yu Meng looked at Shang Duo out of the corner of her eyes, then lowered her voice as much as possible and turned her head slightly.
“What did you find?”
“Shang Hui still has a brother!” Su Yu’s tone sounded as if he had discovered some great secret, and he was extremely excited: “He’s called Shang Duo, although he is the son of the Old Master Shang, but it is said that because his ability is insufficient, he was eliminated by the Su Yu Clan. He does not have the qualifications to inherit the Shang Clan’s wealth, and can only do some small business abroad.”
Yu Meng had long known that Shang Hui had a little brother.
Furthermore, she also knew that Shang Hui wasn’t just a single little brother. He should have several little brothers or maybe even sisters.
“Is there anything else?”
Su Yu was a little shocked.
“Isn’t that explosive enough?!” “I heard that this Shang Duo is going to return soon. He must have had some grudges in his heart after losing to Shang Hui before, so I reckon that he has no good intentions when he comes back this time.”
“Alright, do you have anything else to say? If not, I’m hanging up.”
With that, Yu Meng hung up from Su Yu’s complaints.
During this time, Shang Duo sat at the side patiently and quietly.
It was only when Yu Meng hung up that she finally opened her mouth.
“Mr. Su Yu is from the Birth Intelligence Unit, but the efficiency is really hard to praise.”
“How did you know that the person who called me just now was Su Yu?”
This man was becoming more and more dangerous for Yu Meng.
“What he found out was what I wanted him to find out on purpose.” Shang Duo spoke very slowly and elegantly, unlike a person who often fought in business battles where the strong preyed on the weak.
“I had originally wanted to borrow Su Yu’s hand and get to know you, Miss Yu. This should reduce your prejudice towards me, but his work efficiency is too slow, and I only managed to get a clue about what I was releasing. I didn’t have that much time to wait for him, so I came myself.”
This Shang Duo did not hide anything when she spoke.
“My prejudice against you?” Yu Meng frowned. “How did you know I would be prejudiced against you?”
“Because my surname is Shang.” Shang Duo opened his mouth, “I’m guessing, Miss Yu, in your heart, you must think that all the people with the surname of Shang are not good people.”
Yu Meng was stunned. He could even guess this?
Indeed, those with the surname Shang were not good people.
“What is your purpose for looking for me?” Yu Meng hid her ring behind her back, “If you want this ring, then I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to you.”
“Shang Hui gave that to you, so of course I wouldn’t steal what others love.” Shang Duo was as polite and refined as before: “I just wanted to tell Miss Yu the story of this ring.”
“This ring has a story?”
“How else do you think an ordinary ring can become the standard that our Shang family has passed on from generation to generation?”
It seemed to make sense.
“Then tell me.”
“This ring was created by a famous craftsman at the end of the last century. It is a small item and contains hidden secrets. Ordinary people would see it as an ordinary ring, but after triggering a mechanism, they would discover that the originally color-coded ring could actually be turned or rotated.”
Yu Meng couldn’t help but mutter.
“So it really can be reversed…”
Shang Duo’s hearing was very good, he could almost hear Yu Meng’s soft voice.
“Seems like, Miss Yu is smarter than others, she actually saw through the mechanism inside the storage ring.”
Yu Meng did not reply. How could she be so smart? Wasn’t she Tan Yubai?
“There are grooves on the ring, and by rotating it, the grooves on the ring, the top and bottom, the inner and outer grooves, are joined together into a series of codes.”
“Code?”
“The business of the merchant was spread throughout the world, and the profits were immeasurable. All the transactions of the merchant in the past few years were recorded in a single computer. The code on the ring was the only password that could open that computer.”
Transaction?
Yu Meng frowned as she thought about it.
Shang Duo was right, the businesses were spread throughout the five continents, and there was almost no industry that they were not involved in. Since it was all transactions, there must be a black record.
The meaning behind his words was that if these transactions were to fall into the hands of the enemy, then the business empire built over the years would be in danger of collapsing.
Yu Meng couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
“Why keep such a dangerous item? Just empty the archive.”
Shang Duo laughed, “As the successor of the Shang Clan, you must understand the Shang Clan’s past and history. You must understand the reason why they are able to have their current status and experience, and why only the sole successor is able to own this key.”
“Only by knowing the Shang family’s lifeline can I live my entire life for the sake of the Shang family’s future.”
Although Yu Meng was born into a rich family and Yu’s was considered a big business family, she still found it hard to understand the Shang family’s reasoning.
Perhaps it was precisely because of her incomprehension that she would never be able to reach the level of a merchant in her entire life.
For so many years, a single enterprise could still dominate the waves of generations. Its solid foundation and the system of selecting people were almost like the prosperity and prosperity of an empire of a generation.
Yu Meng asked Shang Duo.
“What do you mean by saying all this to me?”
The ring was in her hand.
“Aren’t you afraid that once I know the password, I’ll expose everything about your Shang family?”
Shang Duo was not the least bit nervous. He smiled kindly and said lightly: “Shang Hui would never let you get close to that computer.”
“So, you came to find me because you want to cooperate with me?”
Shang Duo did not answer, but turned and looked out the window.
“I’ve told Miss Yu so many things, won’t Miss Yu treat me to a meal?”
Yu Meng had been digesting the story from a moment ago and had forgotten about it. Realizing that she had not thought it through properly, she politely asked.
“What would Mr. Shang like to eat?” Western cuisine? Chinese cuisine? ”
“Let’s have lunch together.” Shang Duo consciously fastened his seatbelt. “I’ve stayed overseas for too long, I miss my home the most.”
The car started, and Yu Meng put the ring in her pocket.
She had not been able to concentrate on driving the whole time. She felt that she had overlooked something important. All of this seemed to have happened in a natural manner. Was it a coincidence? Or was someone planning everything behind the scenes?
From the moment Tan Yubai was imprisoned, to her hating and deciding to take revenge on Shang Hui, and to the Du’s that was exposed because of this, the news of their bankruptcy could no longer be hidden anymore.
All of this, as well as the man who had told Yu Meng about the secret of the ring when she needed it the most. Was it really just a coincidence?
Yu Meng felt like she was stuck in a giant roulette. She accidentally dropped in the middle of the roulette, and wherever she crawled, she would feel dizzy and unfamiliar.
When they arrived at the entrance of the dining hall, Yu Meng and Shang Duo got off the car together.
It seemed that she didn’t have as broad of a shoulder as Shang Hui did, and her face was very small as well. She looked rather thin, which was why Yu Meng didn’t think that he was this tall when she was in the car.
Yu Meng was wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes, but it couldn’t even reach his shoulders.
Because he lived abroad, Shang Duo’s gentleman attitude was very comfortable.
He didn’t know how he had observed the situation, but he had chatted for a while before ordering the dishes. Most of the final dishes were dishes that Yu Meng really liked.
This detail caused Yu Meng to be even more certain of herself.
Indeed, those surnamed Shang were all very dangerous.
“There’s no need for Miss Yu to be so wary of me.”
Shang Duo quickly saw through Yu Meng’s discomfort.
“The enemy of the enemy is a friend.”
Yu Meng frowned.
“You mean, Shang Hui?”
“Miss Yu is really smart.”
“He’s your brother, and you’re actually teaming up with me, an outsider, to deal with your brother?”
and Shang Hui have known each other for a long time, they should have long understood this principle. ”
Yu Meng couldn’t deny it.
“Also, from what I see, the one who should be considered an outsider should be me. Since Shang Hui is able to give this ring to Miss Yu, it means that you have a high position in his heart, and this little brother of mine probably can’t even remember my name.”
“Then what do you want me to do?” Yu Meng hadn’t decided to work with Shang Duo yet, she was just curious about his plan.
“It’s simple. Our goals are the same, to make Shang Hui fall from his current position.” From the start, Shang Duo had never called him Brother Shang Hui. Furthermore, every time he mentioned him, his eyes would carry a look of unfathomable hatred.
“Falling? “How could it be that easy?”
“If it was before, it might have been difficult. After all, for him to be able to stand out among us brothers and be chosen by Father, it’s not hard to imagine how sinister and ruthless his methods are. “But now …” As Shang Duo spoke, he suddenly narrowed his eyes meaningfully. “He has a weakness.”
Yu Meng was slightly taken aback.
“What weakness?”
“Of course it’s you.” Shang Duo slightly narrowed his eyes: “All these years, Shang Hui has never stopped having women by his side, I have also tried to arrange for many first-class beauties to beside him, he seems to love everyone here: money, fame, position, if he wants a woman, he will give them all to him. It’s just that no one is allowed to touch that ring on his necklace. ”
Shang Duo said: “I have tried so many ways and changed so many people, but I still couldn’t make Shang Hui relax his guard. Except you.”
“Miss Yu, other than you, no one else would be willing to give the ring to Shang Hui.”
Yu Meng frowned. She had always disapproved of the feelings Shang Hui showed. How could this kind of playboy have feelings for her?
