Bab 212: Sun Gang's Greed Takes Control

Meanwhile, Sun Gang arrived at his grandfather's residence, finding the patriarch seated tranquilly with tea in the living room. 

"Ah, Sun Gang!" his grandfather greeted warmly. "To what do I owe the pleasure?" 

"What, I need a reason to visit my honored grandfather now?" Sun Gang replied, attempting levity.

But the elder saw through it. "You've been distant lately, my boy. I was beginning to think you no longer cared about this old man." 

Sun Gang hastily reassured, "Of course I still care! How could I not, you're my grandfather!"

"Actually, I came to seek your counsel on a business matter," Sun Gang revealed. 

His grandfather looked concerned. "Is everything alright with the company, my boy?"
