Ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye.
It has been nine years since Lao Xu's family moved to Shanghai. In the past ten years, Shanghai's development has been rapid.
Landmark buildings such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and Jin Mao Tower are rising one by one.
This day.
Xu Lingjun suddenly received a phone call that surprised him.
"Hello, is this Mr. Xu Lingjun Xu?"
At this time, Xu Lingjun's face was already covered with traces of time. He was in his fifties and no longer young.
"Yes, I am Xu Lingjun."
"Hello, I'm Lucia, Mr. Xu, do you remember me?"
The female voice on the other end of the phone was soft but powerful.
"Twenty years ago, we met in Chilechuan."
In fact, even if Lucia didn't reveal her identity, Xu Lingjun probably guessed who the other party was.
Who else could the call come from across the ocean besides my father’s side?
"I remember, what's the matter?"
When saying this, Xu Lingjun's tone already had a bit of a vibrato.
"Before BOSS dies, he wants to meet with you."
"Excuse me, are you free to come over?"
Although they were separated by the phone, Xu Lingjun still heard the sadness in the words.
After learning about this, Xu Lingjun felt a little happy and a little sad.
Fortunately for him, Xu Jingyou is still alive and he still has a chance to meet him.
In fact, he has not heard from Xu Jingyou in these years. Ten years ago, the cooperation between Xu and Chilechuan was also terminated.
At that time, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Xu Jingyou was not young, so he thought something had happened.
However, even if he was anxious, there was nothing he could do. He didn't have any contact information for Xu Jingyou.
"Mr. Xu?"
On the other side, seeing Xu Lingjun's delay in speaking, Lucia couldn't help but urge.
"Excuse me, would you like to come over?"
"I'm free."
Xu Lingjun hesitated and said: "But I have never been abroad. Is it more difficult to apply for a visa?"
In recent years, there have been several waves of people leaving the country, some of whom did not immigrate through formal channels.
There are more people staying illegally, and the threshold for visas has also been raised a lot.
"About this, Mr. Xu, you don't have to worry."
As she spoke, the female secretary paused.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, can you give me an address?"
"I will arrange for someone to come to your door later and take you to the embassy to apply for a visa. For a business visa, it will be very fast."
"If everything goes well, you will be here with us in three days."
"I live in HK District XX..."
After a moment of silence, Xu Lingjun reported his home address.
"Okay, someone will contact you later."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lingjun silently took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer and took out a cigarette.
Snap.
As a crisp sound of flint sounded, the cigarette slowly lit up.
hiss.
He took a deep breath, and the smell of tobacco mixed with nicotine went straight into his nose.
"Cough! Cough!"
Since he hadn't smoked for a long time, Xu Lingjun couldn't help but cough a few times after taking a big puff.
At this time, Li Xiuzhi came outside the house after hearing the sound, and was surprised to see her husband smoking again.
"Old Xu?"
"I'm fine."
Xu Lingjun said without turning around: "I just encountered something troublesome."
Li Xiuzhi asked doubtfully: "Did something happen at the school?"
"no."
Xu Lingjun sighed: "It's my father's side. He seems to be dying."
Hearing these words, Li Xiuzhi was stunned for a moment.
Where is the father-in-law?
Counting the time, they have not had contact with their father-in-law for more than twenty years, right?
"Then... do you want to go there?"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiuzhi asked softly.
"Um."
Xu Lingjun took a puff of cigarette: "I want to go there, but I just went to take a look. I will come back when things over there are better."
"oh."
Li Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then looked as usual.
"When are you leaving? I'll pack your luggage for you."
"Just these two days..."
Xu Lingjun was about to reply when the cell phone on the table suddenly rang. When he looked down, he saw it was a local landline number.
"Hello?"
"Yes, I am."
"You don't have to come to the door. Just give me your address and I'll go find you."
"By the way, what do I need to bring?"
"2-inch photo, copy of ID card..."
"Okay, I took note of it."
"Okay, see you later."
…
…
…
One month later.
Pudong International Airport.
Li Jie and Li Xiuzhi came here together, preparing to pick up the plane.
Xu Lingjun originally planned to come back in a week or two when he went abroad this time, but his plan could not keep up with the change.
The legacy left by Xu Jingyou is relatively complicated and will take some time to process.
As for why Li Jie knew these things, it was because Xu Lingjun took the initiative to tell him.
Inheritance is a very troublesome matter. It is the first time for Xu Lingjun to go abroad. He is not familiar with the place and there is no one to help him.
So, he found Li Jie.
Xu Lingjun knew that Li Jie and Xiao Jian had business in Meili Country, so he asked Li Jie for help.
After receiving Lao Xu's request for help, Li Jie immediately contacted the office there and asked their person in charge to bring the lawyer to find Lao Xu.
Afterwards, although Lao Xu did not take the initiative to tell Li Jie, Li Jie still learned about the inheritance from his lawyer.
Xu Jingyou left a total legacy of approximately more than 10 million U.S. dollars.
The point is, this is the amount after paying inheritance tax.
According to the current exchange rate, Lao Xu has transformed from a university teacher to a billionaire in an instant.
I have to say that fate is really mysterious.
Li Jie knew very well the relationship between Xu Jingyou and Xu Lingjun. Since that meeting, the father and son had no contact again.
There was no news from him for twenty years, and Li Jie thought Xu Jingyou was dead.
Who would have thought that not only did the other party not die early, but before his death, he took the initiative to contact Xu Lingjun and left his property to Lao Xu.
Perhaps this is the compensation given by Xu Jingyou.
Perhaps, before dying, Xu Jingyou changed his mind.
No matter what, it is a good thing that Xu Lingjun can inherit this part of the legacy.
It is better to leave it to Xu Lingjun than to fall into the hands of others.
After inheriting this inheritance, the two children of the Xu family will have a much smoother life in the future.
On the side, Li Xiuzhi still didn't know what happened in the beautiful country. Lao Xu didn't tell her directly about the inheritance.
The reason for not telling her was not because Lao Xu was planning to hide it, but because Lao Xu was worried about scaring Li Xiuzhi.
The two of them lived a hard life in the first half of their lives. It was not until the ranch was established that their family's life became easier.
But it's just a little better, more than better than worse.
The impact of 100 million is so great that Xu Lingjun would not dare to announce it directly if not in person.
