Chen Yaozu was stunned and looked at his father curiously: "What's going on?"
Chen Guoqiang said: "That Jack's real name is Liang Shaokang. He is a Chinese-American. His family immigrated to the United States long ago. For some reason, he stayed alone in Singapore. Our people found a photo album from his room. I found a photo inside, and that photo turned out to be a photo of him and his sister-in-law! It doesn’t look like the two of them knew each other.”
Next to her, Zheng Chiling's eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, the photo with Zhou Limin?"
Chen Guoqiang shook his head: "It's not her, it's eldest brother's first wife Jiang Xuezhi."
Jiang Xuezhi is Chen Guobang's first wife, and the two got married in the mainland. The Chen family has been traveling between the mainland and Hong Kong to do business, while the Jiang family has been doing business in Singapore and Malaysia.
Later, a few years after Jiang Xuezhi gave birth to Chen Yanbei, the situation in the mainland changed. The Chen family moved to Xiangjiang and the Jiang family moved to Singapore. Later, Jiang Xuezhi died of illness, and Chen Guobang married Zhou Limin.
Chen Yaozu squinted his eyes and held his hands in front of his chest: "Zhou Kehua is from Chen Yanbei. He sent money to Jack. It must be Chen Yanbei's intention. Now that Jack is related to Jiang Xuezhi..."
He always felt that there was something vaguely connecting these three people.
Chen Yanbei started sending money to Jack a few years ago. The money he sent every time was slightly higher than the per capita salary in Singapore. It felt like he was paying for living expenses.
Chen Guoqiang and his son thought of going together: "The Jiang family is now settled in Singapore. I have sent people to inquire about the relationship between Jiang Xuezhi and that Jack. I hope the truth will not disappoint us too much."
Jiang Xuezhi is the adopted daughter of the Jiang family. In her early years, Mrs. Jiang was unable to conceive a child. She listened to the fortune teller and adopted a child from the orphanage to gain merit. That child is Jiang Xuezhi.
Sure enough, less than a year after the adoption, Mrs. Jiang's belly started to stir and she gave birth to a pair of twins. Of course, the Jiang family did not lack food for Jiang Xue, so they raised her accordingly.
After all, it was an adopted child, and Mrs. Jiang had her own biological children, so she naturally didn't care so much about Jiang Xuezhi, her adopted daughter.
There is only a three-year age difference between Jiang Xuezhi and Mrs. Jiang's daughter Jiang Xiyue. When the Jiang family married the Chen family, it was originally planned to be Jiang Xiyue, but it turned out that Jiang Xiyue had secretly made a lifelong marriage with her husband behind the family's back, and even got into bad health. The Jiang family didn't The only way is to let Jiang Xuezhi take the lead.
Unexpectedly, not long after Jiang Xuezhi married into the Chen family, Jiang Xiyue got pregnant and had a miscarriage and was abandoned by the scumbag. Jiang Xiyue regretted that her marriage was taken away by Jiang Xuezhi and felt jealous. Even Jiang's father and mother didn't want to see Jiang Xuezhi.
When they were in the Mainland, the Chen family and the Jiang family had similar family backgrounds. When the situation in the mainland changed, the Chen family ran to Xiangjiang, while the Jiang family moved to Singapore for development, making it clear that they no longer wanted to have any contact with Jiang Xuezhi.
Even for a long time after that, he ignored Jiang Xuezhi and treated her as if she didn't exist at all. He has no feelings for Chen Yanbei, his nephew.
In addition, the Jiang family was doing well in Singapore at the beginning, and the Chen family was unknown in Xiangjiang. The Jiang family looked down upon Jiang Xuezhi even more.
Who would have thought that in just one or two years, the Chen family's business would take advantage of the trend, grow bigger and bigger, and successfully join the wealthy circle of Hong Kong. On the other hand, the Jiang family, on the other hand, suffered losses every time and became increasingly declining.
Originally, the Jiang family could completely rely on Jiang Xuezhi to regain the status of the Chen family. However, Jiang Xue's life was so unlucky that he contracted a terminal illness and died after the Chen family's business improved.
At this time, the connection between the Jiang family and the Chen family was completely severed.
Recalling the past events between the Jiang family and the Chen family, Chen Guoqiang raised the corners of his lips proudly, looked out the window at the other courtyard of the big house, and smiled with a calculating look on his face.
At this moment, the phone in the study room rang. It was Mr. Chen who asked Chen Guoqiang to come over.
Chen Yaozu said: "Daddy, you are busy first. I will ask the secretary to go to the bank to withdraw money and fill in the holes for Feng Meizhu. I will try to get the consent to withdraw the case as soon as possible and release her."
"Okay." Chen Guoqiang gave his son an appreciative look, then opened the drawer, took out the check folder, and said to his wife, "How much was the appraisal fee last night? The old man said that Chen Yanbei was also here, so instead of waiting for him If you ask me for money in front of the old man, why not take the initiative to send it over."
When she thought of that money, Zheng Zhiling felt so angry that her flesh ached. She gritted her teeth and said: "250,000 Hong Kong dollars, haha, this is all caused by that bitch Jiang Yao, and we have to give her money instead. It's really unreasonable!"
Chen Guoqiang didn't care about the money, and comforted him: "Every bitch will be rewarded. Don't worry, the Feng family will definitely not let her go this time. I remember that Feng Meizhu has a godfather who is a big boss in some clan, and his younger brother Countless, I think this time should teach Beigu a real lesson."
After filling in the numbers, Chen Guoqiang put the check into the inner pocket of his suit and walked out of the study calmly.
The main courtyard where Mr. Chen lives.
On the sofa in the living room, Mr. Chen is sitting at the main seat, and Chen Yanbei is beside him, sitting in a wheelchair.
Jiang Yao was kneeling beside the tea tray, holding the pot in her right hand, pouring hot water into the porcelain cup for making tea. This is the first step in making tea, warming the cup.
Then pick up the wooden spoon with your white fingertips, put a spoonful of tea leaves into the tureen, and then pour boiling water over the tea surface. The steam carries the tea aroma and rises. Repeat the boiling water until the tea leaves sink and float in the water. Then he poured them one by one into the teacup in front of him.
The scene of a beautiful woman making tea is always pleasing to the eye.
"Grandpa, please drink tea." Jiang Yao picked up the first cup of tea and brought it to the old man.
Mr. Chen had a smile on his eyes and eyebrows: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect you Yaoyao to make tea."
Girls in Xiangjiang have long been westernized. They drink coffee and milk tea like others do every day, and have completely forgotten the traditional tea ceremony culture.
Mr. Chen held the tea cup and first smelled the tea intoxicatedly. Then he took a sip and nodded: "Yes, the sweetness is long and the aroma is clear. It brings out the best taste of Tianmu."
Jiang Yao smiled lightly and accepted the old man's compliment without politeness.
Chen Yanbei also took a sip. He didn't know how to taste tea, but he also knew that the old man's tea skills were superb. Being praised by the old man meant that Jiang Yao was indeed good.
But, when did she learn to make tea? Is making tea in the countryside so particular? Do you have to soak seven times over and over again?
His wife is good at bag appreciation and tea art, so what else can she do? It seems that he doesn't know her well enough.
Thinking of this, Chen Yanbei looked at Jiang Yao with some interest.
But Jiang Yao never thought about this at all. She just happened to see that the old man had a set of top-quality tea sets, and she couldn't help but feel itchy.
In her later generations, there were elders in her family who ran a teahouse. Many of the clients she dealt with were tea lovers, so every time she discussed a project, she would make an appointment to go to the teahouse, and naturally she also learned the art of tea.
But it didn't matter to her even if she knew Chen Yanbei's doubts. Anyway, any big boss in the bullpen in the country could use any one of them as a shield.
Mr. Chen didn't think much about it. Now that his grandson's eyes have recovered, his wife will make him tea. He is in a great mood and smiles so much that his eyes narrow into slits.
When Chen Guoqiang came in, he saw such a happy scene.
"dad."
Chen Guoqiang found a sofa and sat down casually before nodding towards Chen Yanbei and Jiang Yao.
Chen Yanbei's eyes were not squinting. Jiang Yao didn't have the confidence, so he could only call out honestly: "Second uncle."
"I heard that Yanbei's eyes have recovered. My second uncle is really happy for you. It seems that the recovery of the legs is just around the corner. Yanbei, don't give up!" Chen Guoqiang looked at Chen Yanbei with a smile, and then turned to Jiang. Yao reached out and took out the check from the inner pocket of her suit and handed it to her:
"Thank you for your help with the appraisal last night. This is the appraisal fee that your second aunt asked me to transfer to you. I didn't know that your conditions in the mainland were so difficult, but you still found time to take the appraiser's license test. It is really admirable."
"Thank you, uncle. If you have such a need in the future, you can always come to me." Jiang Yao took the check and pretended not to understand the other party's question.
She specifically gave her the check in front of the old man, didn't she just want him to know that she asked the second house for money last night, and also questioned her qualification as an appraiser.
However, Mr. Chen also heard about appraisers for the first time and looked at Jiang Yao with interest: "Yao Yao, what appraiser's license is it?"
Just as Jiang Yao was about to explain, she saw Chen Yanbei put down the teacup slowly, glanced at Chen Guoqiang lightly, then turned to the old man and replied:
"When Yaoyao first came to Xiangjiang, she had nothing to do at home. I arranged for teachers from the Italian Luxury Goods Association to come and give her lessons. She must not be deceptive and guard against others. It is always good to learn more. "
Phew, when Jiang Yao heard this, she couldn't help but give Chen Yanbei a thumbs up in her heart. He almost scolded Feng Meizhu for deceiving people with fake bags.
However, Jiang Yao only realized later that there were many loopholes in her words when she mentioned the appraiser certificate last night. If someone really went to Italy to investigate, her license was taken by later generations. In this era, the membership list of the association Of course there is no name for her.
Jiang Yaocai and Chen Yanbei secretly cast a grateful look.
Mr. Chen held the tea cup and looked at Jiang Yao with a hint of admiration: "Well, if you have many skills, it's not a burden. Yaoyao might as well learn more."
The extremely harmonious picture of the three of them looked like a thorn in the eyes of Chen Guoqiang standing next to him!
His face stiffened for a moment, and he changed the subject with some embarrassment: "Dad, why did you call me here? It just so happens that I want to talk to you about the acquisition of the shipping company in Singapore."
It was precisely because of this that Mr. Chen called him over: "Well, what's the progress of your visit this time?"
Speaking of this, Chen Guo said bravely: "That company... did not agree to the acquisition plan we proposed. The shipping market is developing well and they are the largest company in Singapore. It is reasonable for them not to agree to the acquisition. "
"Dad, there are several good shipping companies in Southeast Asia. Maybe we can consider them."
Several countries with sea areas near Xiangjiang have begun to develop port trade. In the past year, dozens of shipping companies have been registered, which has significantly lowered the shipping price in the international market. Once the price drops, profits will decrease. The Chen family’s shipping The business was greatly affected.
Hearing that there was no progress on Chen Guoqiang's side, Mr. Chen's face darkened, and he turned to look at Chen Yanbei: "Abei, what do you think?"
Chen Yanbei was not in a hurry to answer. He rested his arms casually on the armrests of the wheelchair, tapping his fingers repeatedly, and groaned for a moment before he spoke:
"Grandpa, there are many ports on the seaside in Asia. In the past, various countries did not pay attention to them, so they did not vigorously develop port trade. Now everyone knows that this is a piece of fat, and they will naturally compete to grab it."
"I think that instead of spending a lot of money to acquire companies of the same type, it is better to use our energy to develop other industries. I remember that the company has invested in various industries, and the performance of previous financial reports was also good."
Mr. Chen: "Yes. I also heard that the policy there is vigorously building and developing ports. In the future, this market will only have more and more competitors. It is not enough to increase competitiveness through acquisitions. So according to your opinion , which industry should the company focus on in the next ten years?”
In Hong Kong in the 1980s, what other industry could make money from real estate?
Jiang Yao secretly gave the answer in her heart while listening to the conversation of several people.
The next second, she heard Chen Yanbei speak her heart:
"Of course it's real estate. Xiangjiang is the world's financial center. The population growth rate is doubling year by year. There will be a large influx of people in the future. With so many people coming to Xiangjiang, the biggest demand must be houses. So the real estate industry Taking off is inevitable.”
Jiang Yao couldn't help but look at Chen Yanbei in surprise and admiration. No wonder he was the designated heir of Mr. Chen. His judgment on economic development and market demand was extremely accurate!
Mr. Chen obviously agreed with Chen Yanbei's words, and chatted with Chen Yanbei for a while. Chen Guoqiang next to him directly became the foil of the two.
"Look at my memory." Mr. Chen slapped his forehead as if he had just remembered, "Abei, an old friend recommended a German neurologist to me a few days ago. I had a brief chat with him on the phone. Looking at your situation, he feels that your current condition is probably caused by the stress sequelae of the car accident, and it is possible to recover by stimulating neurons with microcurrent."
"It's a pity that the treatment equipment is only available in Germany. How about you take some time and ask Yaoyao to accompany you to Germany?"
Mr. Chen has also tried to find many famous foreign doctors for Chen Yanbei before, but unfortunately every attempt failed. This time he didn't dare to have too high hopes.
Hearing that Chen Yanbei's leg might recover, a hint of darkness flashed across Chen Guoqiang's eyes, but he covered it up well.
Chen Yanbei's reaction was mediocre. Anyway, his legs had recovered a long time ago: "Well, Grandpa, I will take time to go abroad and try. It's getting late, so I'll take Yaoyao back to rest first."
Jiang Yao also took the opportunity to get up, took the initiative to push Chen Yanbei's wheelchair, and smiled sweetly at Mr. Chen: "Grandpa, I'll make you tea next time."
"Okay, be careful on the road." Mr. Chen warned, watching the two of them walk out of the living room.
The living room suddenly became quiet, and the old man remembered his son next to him.
Ahem, he coughed twice and said to Chen Guoqiang: "Abei is right, the real estate industry is worth investing heavily in. You have suspended the acquisition, and the next plan will be discussed after the board meeting."
"If you have nothing to do, you can go back. I'm going to take a nap."
Mr. Chen issued an eviction order, and his attitude towards his grandson and son was obviously contrasting.
The housekeeper helped Mr. Chen back to his room, and Chen Guoqiang also turned around and walked out of the main house.
On the way back, Chen Guoqiang's face couldn't hold back any longer and became extremely gloomy. He had been busy working on the acquisition plan for several months. Now Chen Yanbei's words made the old man give up the acquisition immediately.
snort! This is too biased!
The other end.
Jiang Yao pushed Chen Yanbei into the car. When the car started, Chen Yanbei stretched out his arms and pulled her into his arms: "Mrs. Chen, what else are you hiding from me? Huh?"
"Is it possible that there is a tea master in the cowshed in the country?"
The warm breath tickled Jiang Yao's eardrums, and half of her body went numb, and she hid in his arms: "Why are you asking me if you already know~"
Holding the fragrant and soft ball in his arms, Chen Yanbei's body became extremely tense after a while. He raised his hands to raise the front baffle, pinched both sides of his slim waist with his big hands, and directly hugged the person on his lap. He went up, then bent his head against her forehead, locking her eyes deeply.
The look in his eyes was so full of sexual tension that Jiang Yao's legs became weak due to the sight of him, her arms involuntarily wrapped around his neck, and her voice was so sweet that she asked, "What are you doing~"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man kissed her deeply and urgently, taking her red and moist lips into his mouth, twisting and turning deeply, with such force that he seemed to suck out her soul. His big hands firmly grasped her slender waist, and while kissing and stroking, he pushed her into his arms.
"Well..." Jiang Yao's hands and feet were weak, and even her voice was as soft as a cat's.
Jiang Yao closed her eyes and completely lost herself in the man's fierce offensive. At the same time, Zhao Changfeng, who was far away in Jiangcheng, got the Xiangjiang Pass as he wished.
