Chapter 812: The Xu Family Issues a Ban
Zhang Jun followed Zhang Dehou out of the main hall and saw Housekeeper Xu coming in. He immediately greeted him with a smile, "Housekeeper Xu, your visit brings light to the Zhang Family."
Housekeeper Xu remained expressionless, "Patriarch Zhang, I won't bother with pleasantries. I'm here on orders from Old Master Xu to question you, and you must be honest."
Zhang Jun immediately felt a surge of tension; it was indeed about this matter.
Zhang Dehou maintained a calm demeanor and lightly chuckled, "Alright, Housekeeper Xu, feel free to ask anything. I will answer truthfully."
Housekeeper Xu nodded slightly, "I ask you, why does the core technology recently developed by the Zhang Family resemble that of Maoyuan Company?"
Zhang Dehou smiled and waved his hand, "Housekeeper Xu, you might not know this, but my son Zhang Jun and Chen Tiangong used to be good friends."
"That technology data was given to our Zhang Family to use back then. But later, Maoyuan Company also used it, so I deliberately kept it under wraps to avoid a conflict with Maoyuan Company."
"Now that Maoyuan Company is in trouble, there's no conflict over the technology, so I feel at ease using it boldly."
After briefly explaining the situation, Zhang Dehou said with a smile, "Housekeeper Xu, that's the situation."
Housekeeper Xu frowned slightly, "Patriarch Zhang, you must be responsible for your words and actions. Are you sure you are not lying or deceiving me?"
"How dare I!" Zhang Dehou hurriedly waved his hand, "Please, Housekeeper Xu, see things clearly. I'm telling the truth."
Housekeeper Xu said no more, "If that is the case, let it be for now. I will report back to the Patriarch and let him decide."
After saying this, Housekeeper Xu turned and left.
Zhang Jun, still uneasy, said, "Dad, the Xu Family has set their sights on us! What if the Old Master of the Xu Family insists on pursuing the investigation? What should we do then?"
"Don't panic, the sky won't fall," Zhang Dehou waved his hand slightly, "Haven't you figured it out by now?"
"Back then, Xu Chengliang from Maoyuan Company once threatened Chen Tiangong. If I'm not mistaken, Maoyuan Company was destroyed by Chen Xuan, and Xu Chengliang was also killed."
"Chen Xuan wants us, the Zhang Family, to provoke the Xu Family to facilitate his covert actions. So our Zhang Family won't be in trouble, and Chen Xuan won't easily spare the Xu Family."
Zhang Jun nodded silently, "Dad, should we notify Chen Xuan right now?"
"No rush. After all, we still don't know the Xu Family's next move. If they act against our Zhang Family, then notify him. There's no hurry."
Zhang Dehou sighed lightly, "As before, this is both a crisis and an opportunity for our Zhang Family!"
"If we handle it well, our Zhang Family could see great development! We must stay calm and not panic in the face of challenges."
Zhang Jun said no more, realizing they would have to take it step by step, hoping no unexpected changes would arise.
Meanwhile, Housekeeper Xu returned to the Xu Family and relayed Zhang Dehou's words.
Hmm?
Xu Jinglong's expression changed slightly, "Is that what Zhang Dehou said?"
"Yes, sir, those were his exact words," Housekeeper Xu responded with a bow.
Xu Cailiang snorted lightly, "Even if the Zhang Family's technical data is unrelated to Maoyuan Company, we cannot allow them to use it so blatantly."
"Instructions must be sent to the Zhang Family to stop using that technology immediately! Otherwise, they become enemies of the Xu Family!"
Xu Jinglong did not oppose this, fully agreeing with Xu Cailiang's view.
Meanwhile.
Chen Xuan and Lin Wanxi arrived at the hospital to visit the injured Yang Kaize.
Chen Yi had been taking care of Yang Kaize in the ward these past few days, and they seemed to be getting along quite well.
"How are you recovering?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"Much better. I estimate that in a few days, I can be discharged," Yang Kaize replied with a smile.
"Hello, sister-in-law." Chen Yi nodded to Lin Wanxi.
Lin Wanxi held Chen Yi's hand and smiled lightly, "You've worked hard these days. Make sure to get some rest."
"I'm fine, really good." Chen Yi replied briefly and said no more.
Her relationship with Lin Wanxi was not as close as with Su Linlang.
The main reason was that they had not spent as much time together; Chen Yi lived with Su Linlang every day, naturally fostering a closer bond.
The two did not linger much longer, as they mainly came to visit Yang Kaize and, at the same time, observe how Chen Yi's relationship had evolved.
"What do you think about Yang Kaize?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
Lin Wanxi smiled and nodded, "He's very genuine, quite a good person indeed."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "I hope their relationship progresses smoothly, and if Chen Yi finds a good partner, I'll be relieved."
Just then, Zhang Jun called him, "Chen Xuan, the Xu Family suddenly issued a prohibition against us, prohibiting us from using the technology you gave us. Otherwise, it means being enemies with the Xu Family."
"What do you think…how should we handle it now?"
