The middle-aged man on the side respectfully reported his work while occasionally glancing at Jiang Cheng out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing how Jiang Chenghong doted on Jiang Cheng in every possible way, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel curious.
"Could this be the legendary sole heir?"
If that were truly the case, it would be a monumental matter.
He feared that the future of all of Huaxia might undergo earth-shattering changes because of this person... Although his face remained calm, he secretly etched Jiang Cheng's appearance deep into his heart.
The middle-aged man spoke, "Next year, the Bear Country will begin a new round of voting. The candidates for next year include..."
Perhaps because Jiang Cheng was present, Great-Grandfather seemed to lose the patience to keep listening. He waved his hand and interrupted, "I expect that after all the choosing, that position will still ultimately be his; the others are just there for the ride."
After Great-Grandfather finished, the middle-aged man lowered his head and replied, "Yes, since the announcement of the re-election, according to current statistics, his support rate is as high as sixty-nine percent, while one of the more vocal candidates has a support rate of only a bit over seven percent."
Great-Grandfather then continued, "Throughout the past year, our two sides have had five contacts on the surface alone. Sanctions have become a daily occurrence for them, and their economic development is slow. It's the same as before; if what he buys abroad can be synchronized with us in Huaxia, we will naturally support him..."
The middle-aged man just nodded after hearing this, not responding, and silently noted Great-Grandfather's words in his notebook.
After giving a few instructions, Great-Grandfather waved his hand to let the man leave.
As soon as the man left, Great-Grandfather's entire aura softened.
With a loving smile on his face, Great-Grandfather asked softly, "My dear grandson, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll have someone prepare it in advance?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment with a smile, "I don't have anything specific in mind. I just want to eat the fruits and vegetables you grandfathers grew. Let's just stir-fry some of those."
Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Great-Grandfather immediately smiled and said, "That's easy. Although it's freezing lately, I had people set up greenhouses, and the fruits and vegetables are growing quite well."
Remembering Second Grandfather's illness, Jiang Cheng asked Great-Grandfather, "Grandpa, last time you said your nodules had shrunk a lot. How are they now? Have they continued to get smaller?"
Great-Grandfather laughed heartily and shook his head, "Sigh, it's only been a few days. How could I keep checking? Grandpa's health is very good, don't worry."
"Big Brother's health is indeed good; he's not even afraid of the cold when he gets up early. I, on the other hand, can't handle it. I'm afraid I'll have to stay indoors all winter. Now, as soon as I go out, the cold air is so heavy that my rhinitis acts up immediately."
"My dear grandson, you have no idea. He even gets nosebleeds when it's too cold in the morning. Him? He just indulged too much when he was young and didn't exercise, so he has plenty of underlying issues. When spring comes, I'll take both of you to exercise together."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenghong immediately waved his hand, "Big Brother, forget it, just let me off. I feel weak all over as soon as I exercise. Just let me lie down in peace."
"You rascal. Later, I'll have someone stew some warm tonics for you to nourish your body. You haven't been looking very well lately."
After Great-Grandfather finished, Second Grandfather nodded with a somewhat unnatural expression, "Thanks, Big Brother. I'm just afraid of the cold. Didn't you see my physical exam report? I'm perfectly healthy. I won't come next winter; Jingdu is just too cold."
This extremely unnatural expression and the trace of bitterness emanating from his heart allowed Jiang Cheng to keenly capture something unusual.
It seemed that Second Grandfather likely knew that something was wrong with his body.
Jiang Cheng gently patted Second Grandfather's hand and said worriedly, "Second Grandfather, if you're feeling unwell, just say so. We'll find a solution together."
Jiang Chenghong was a bit dazed by Jiang Cheng's sudden question.
The look he gave Jiang Cheng was filled with a hint of reluctance and affection.
Gently stroking Jiang Cheng's hand, he said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After saying that, Jiang Chenghong quickly changed the subject, "Good. As for you, Shen Chong told me this morning that someone is fabricating stories about you online."
"Shen Chong?? That name sounds familiar."
"I sent him over last time when you were in Magic City. You've met him; he's my private secretary."
With that, a refined middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared in Jiang Cheng's mind.
Jiang Chenghong then added, "In the future, if you need anything, you can just instruct him directly. He can handle everything for you."
"Understood, Second Grandfather."
"As for the stories about you online, Second Grandfather will handle it for you," Jiang Chenghong comforted Jiang Cheng.
"No need, Second Grandfather. It's just a small matter; I can solve it myself," Jiang Cheng said firmly.
"I know the people around you are capable, but how could I let my grandson be wronged?" Jiang Chenghong said with a firm tone.
After Jiang Chenghong finished, Great-Grandfather added, "I heard from Chenghong. It's that father and son in real estate, right?"
Jiang Cheng replied, "Please rest easy. You have so much to do every day, yet you're worrying about my trivial matters. My dad said not to cause trouble for you all."
"Hmph, that brat. You're so sensible; how could you be a trouble? Grandpa knows about that father and son, but it's just not the right time to truly deal with them yet."
Jiang Cheng asked with some confusion, "Grandpa, you mean...?"
"It's a bit complicated. Once the people behind them are dealt with, it'll be their turn. Don't worry, Grandpa will vent your frustrations for you."
Settling accounts after the fact has always been our Huaxia style of doing things.
Just like with Lin Yao last time.
Jiang Cheng had originally forgotten about him, but to his surprise, over a month later, their family suddenly collapsed... However, Jiang Cheng hadn't expected that his own grandfather would actually know about the Xu father and son... The God's-eye view of people in such positions is truly terrifying.
Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng received a message from Chloe when he woke up.
Chloe: "Young Master Jiang, I'll be arriving at the Jingdu airport shortly. I wonder if you'll be free tonight? Should I come to Magic City to find you??"
Chloe sent it in English. Fortunately, when he was in Britain last time, Jiang Cheng had obtained 'English Proficiency'.
Otherwise, with his college entrance exam level of English, it would probably take him several seconds to understand this passage.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng understood the meaning of the English with just a glance.
Having not been in contact for a long time, Jiang Cheng had actually forgotten there was such a Girl.
With that thought, that excessively exquisite face immediately appeared in Jiang Cheng's mind.
Her blonde hair was as silky smooth as thread, her features deep and three-dimensional, and her eyes like emerald gemstones.
Her proportions were perfect: full breasts, a slender waist, and rounded hips. Her skin was as fair as snow, delicate and smooth.
His mind suddenly flashed back to the memory of pinning her down in the car back in Great Britain.
Mhm~~ Jiang Cheng remembered that it was a pink and white memory.
A combination of red and pink is probably every man's favorite color scheme.
Especially those long legs, nearly a meter in length.
When they swayed, a hook of her legs could even reach directly to Jiang Cheng's head.
Simply incredible!
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but open the Character Scanning System to look up Chloe's data.
Although he was the first to know her inside and out, it was, after all, a country where the Renaissance began early.
One could tell from French sculptures that they had always been very proactive in promoting such things.
Having been out of touch for so long, he wondered how this Girl's "foundation" was doing now?
