On a Sunday morning, there was still no one in the cafe.
Wen Zheng wore casual clothes today, and the aura of the domineering president remained undiminished.
"Mr. Wen, thank you for what happened last time."
Xia Zongqi's tone was sincere. Wen Zheng's appearance at their Xia family's reception had already surprised him very much. Later, when Jiang Zhengqin appeared to make trouble, he was worried that Wen Zheng would be unhappy. He didn't expect that although Wen Zheng was unhappy, he would deliberately go out of his way to drive Jiang Zhengqin away. Asked for his suggestion and gave the Xia family enough face.
The most magical thing is that he even added Wen Zheng's WeChat, and with Wen Zheng's help, a big project was facilitated. I wanted to come to thank you several times, but I was afraid of being misunderstood with ulterior motives, so the assistant sent some gifts to express my heart.
"Boss Wen is looking for something for me today?"
"I need some help from Mr. Xia." Wen Zheng stopped stirring the coffee in the cup, and he looked up at Xia Zongqi.
"Mr. Wen, why bother to be polite to me, you helped our family a lot last time, let alone a small matter, as long as our Xia family can do it, ten things will not be a problem."
"Then I'll just say it straight." Wen Zheng took out a photo from his bag and handed it to Xia Zongqi.
"Do you know this person?"
Xia Zongqi looked at the middle-aged men and women in the photo, dressed plainly, they walked side by side like husband and wife.
"If you don't know Mr. Xia, you can go back and ask your father and tell me."
"I don't know it." Xia Zongqi glanced at it for several times but didn't recognize it. "Mr. Wen, wait a moment, I'll send it to my dad now."
Xia Zongqi picked up his mobile phone and took two consecutive photos. After sending the WeChat message, he was worried that his father hadn't seen it, so he called him.
"Dad, help me see the two people in the photo."
Knowing that his son had an appointment with Mr. Wen today, Mr. Xia on the other end of the phone did not dare to neglect, and even said 'yes' a few times.
After a while, Xia Zongqi received a reply from his father.
[I don't know each other, it doesn't look like they will have an intersection with us.]
[Is Mr. Wen looking for someone?]
[Ask Mr. Wen, if you can send it to someone else, it feels a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.]"Mr. Wen, my dad said it looks familiar, can you send it to others for confirmation?"
"Can."
During the waiting period, Xia Zongqi was having a hard time, but Wen Zheng drank his coffee with a normal expression.
Half an hour later, Xia Zongqi received a reply, his eyes lit up for a moment, "Yes."
"My dad said it looks familiar, but it's been too long, so I'm not sure if I'm admitting my mistake."
"Master Xia, please call Boss Xia."
"Mr. Wen, the couple in the photo is a bit like the staff I saw in the orphanage a few years ago, but I can't be sure."
Wen Zheng's eyes froze, and there was indeed a problem.
This couple is the one Lu Xiaofei said he wanted to recognize Xing Xing, but his words are full of loopholes, it doesn't seem like they are really looking for a child, more like they have other plans.
After returning to City C, Wen Zheng sent to investigate the couple, and the information he got was that workers in ordinary factories received a large amount of compensation after accidental work-related injuries.
But according to Lu Xiaofei, the couple didn't seem to have any injuries, and the source of this large amount of compensation...is strange. It was about the same as he had guessed, and it really had something to do with the orphanage.
To have two houses in the urban area of City E, even the compensation is too much. But the house is not in the couple's name, but the couple's only child.
They don't live in urban areas on weekdays. They have a self-built house in a town, and they wear plain clothes like the residents in the town, so they don't notice any problems at all.
Fortunately, Xing Xing is smart, and Ms. Lu is there to check, otherwise they almost missed Xing Xing again. Wen Zheng clenched his fists, "Is it Yihe Orphanage?"
"Yes." Mr. Xia on the other end of the phone was a little puzzled, why did Wen Zheng know? "Mr. Wen, is there any problem with that couple?"
"This is not something Mr. Xia should inquire about." Wen Zheng's eyes turned cold, "Actually, I'm curious. Fourteen years ago, Mr. Xia was not as prosperous as before. Where did he get so much money to donate to the Yihe Welfare Institute? "
Mr. Xia took a deep breath, "Here, Mr. Wen. Although I don't know what you are investigating, this matter must have nothing to do with me. I admit that I am an upstart who only got up in the past few years. I really don’t know what happened before.”
"I won't ask much about the rest, I just want to ask where did you get so much money to donate to the orphanage?" Wen Zheng's voice was calm, and Xia Zongqi who was sitting opposite couldn't help holding his breath, for fear that his father would say something surprising Wen Zheng's unhappy words.
"Dad, just tell me what you have." Xia Zongqi could see that Wen Zheng was investigating something, and as long as they didn't hinder Wen Zheng, Wen Zheng wouldn't do anything to them.
"Okay." Mr. Xia sighed, and said cautiously, "Mr. Wen, this matter should be discussed in person."
Wen Zheng and Xia Zongqi left from the coffee shop, found a relatively private private restaurant, and reserved a box to wait for Mr. Xia to come over.
Within half an hour, Mr. Xia pushed open the door of the box panting.
"Boss Wen."
"I don't need to say polite words, I just want to know what's going on."
"More than ten years ago, the Xia family was a small company with few employees. Mr. Wen may not know that I was an advertising company in the early years. Later, someone approached me and said that he wanted to negotiate a deal with me. trade."
"I signed a half-year advertising business contract with them, and the monthly advertising fee is one million. But in fact, the contract is a cover. They don't need me to do any advertising, but they will send money to the company's account every month. Then I will donate the money to the orphanage."
Wen Zheng found out before that the Xia family would donate to the orphanage every month. For a large company, the daily turnover is more than one million, but the Xia family was only a small private company more than ten years ago, with only a few employees. In general, the boss has to come to the door to run business just like the salesman.
Such a small company can donate one million to the orphanage every month...
"What do you gain from it?"
"They paid me back 100,000 yuan every month."
As soon as Mr. Xia finished speaking, Wen Zheng looked at him coldly, "How dare you earn money from unknown sources?"
"I can't help it. My small broken company is about to close down. I have a wife and children to support at home, and it's not easy for employees. Several salesmen in the cold weather are about to lose their legs, and I can't find a company that is willing to cooperate."
"When I was young, I didn't understand, and I didn't think about other things. I knew it was going to the orphanage, so I agreed."
Wen Zheng sneered, "Do you not understand? Or are you pretending not to understand?"
This is obviously a transfer of funds in the form of donations. As for whether the money will eventually be donated to the orphanage, it is not certain.
The Wen family also donated money and supplies to the Yihe Welfare Institute back then, and it was Ji Yuan's personal property donation. In the beginning, it was purely for charity and had no intention of adopting. It was a kind of fate to meet Sisi, but unfortunately this fate did not last long.
After returning home, Wen Zheng told Wen Huaihe all his discoveries and guesses.
Wen Zheng was only eleven years old when Xing Xing disappeared. At that time, he only thought that Xing Xing was abducted by traffickers. Over the years, he and Wen Huaihe had been investigating the traffickers, worried that the traffickers had accomplices, but ignored the orphanage. of strangeness.
"Dad, what happened to Wen Yu being kidnapped?"
Wen Huaihe sighed. When Xing Xing was five years old, Wen Zheng was only in elementary school. He didn't want Wen Zheng to be exposed to danger at such a young age, so he never told Wen Zheng. Later, Xing Xing disappeared, and they all focused on finding Xing Xing. The kidnapping of Wen Yu was gradually forgotten after the kidnapper was brought to justice.
Wen Huaihe's eyes were as cold as ice, it was his fault for not protecting the stars well before. But now, no one wants to hurt the stars. Xing Xing's being taken home should have been a great event to tell everyone. Wen Huaihe wanted to let everyone know that his baby Xing Xing was back.
But he couldn't, before the investigation, Xing Xing's identity could only be kept secret temporarily. If it weren't for the middle-aged couple who appeared, Wen Huaihe would not have thought that Xing Xing was murdered. Hearing Lu Xiaofei say that Xing Xing almost drowned by the river, his heart almost stopped in shock.
They had to be careful, Wen Huaihe didn't tell the rest of the Wen family about the recovery of the stars, his own brothers and sisters didn't know, not even his father, Wen Huaihe didn't tell, although it was very unfilial, but It is related to the safety of the stars, and the less people know about it, the better.
On the day when the truth is found out, he will let everyone know that Xing Xing is the child of their Wen family and the heir of the Wen Group.
Yan Xinyu hadn't contacted Lu Wenxing for a while, but it was Lu Wenxing who contacted her saying that she planned to return to China for a few days.
"I'm so envious. I also want to go back to my country. It's almost a May Day holiday in China."
"Want to be together?"
"I can't go back, it's uncomfortable." Yan Xin looked remorseful, "Can you ask for leave next week?"
Yan Xinyu and Lu Wenxing are not in the same class. Some of their professional courses are large classes, and some of the same courses will be taught together in the large classroom, but some courses are separated. Different teachers have different teaching styles.
"I skipped a class last time, the old man stared at me and said that if I dare to skip class again, no matter how high I get in the test, he will not pass me." Yan Xinyu poked the bottom of the cup with a spoon angrily , "Come to be an exchange student and fail a course, that's not okay. We can't lose face of our C University."
Lu Wenxing was a little surprised. Yan Xinyu often told him that she missed her parents and wanted to go back to China. He thought that Yan Xinyu could not wait to go back with him. Unexpectedly, she had a strong sense of honor and was a bit stubborn.
"Yes, I have ambition." Lu Wenxing took a sip of his coffee.
"Professor Z can agree to your leave for so many days?"
"Several professors of the school are going to attend an academic seminar next week, and several professors of our professional courses will go, so it will be changed to a self-study class. As for Professor Z's class, there will be no classes next week, and the drawing will be completed before Friday. Just hand in your work.”
"You're so lucky."
"I heard that you will attend the premiere of "Hundred Ghosts" on the 3rd, right?"
"meeting."
Yan Xinyu smiled, "Then I'll go live broadcast."
"Speaking of which, there is another very coincidental thing." Yan Xinyu knew that Lu Wenxing would not stop surfing the Internet when he was busy, "Do you know LULU? It is a luxury brand under the Wen Group."
I really don't know.
Lu Wenxing only knew that he was the richest man in City C, but he didn't know anything else.
"What's wrong?"
"Recently, it has been very high-profile, soft and hard, and hard. I went to the official website. That watch is really good-looking, but unfortunately there is no female model."
"I have inside information, don't spread it outside."
Yan Xinyu suddenly spoke mysteriously, and Lu Wenxing leaned forward.
"I heard that LULU is planning to slap MU this time. MU's design is good-looking, but in fact, it imitates the models that LULU once sold out of stock. Every time a new product is released, you have to buy a draft to attract LULU's attention. I Mom is a big fan of LULU, and my family has all styles of LULU jewelry, bags, ties, cuffs, etc.”
Lu Wenxing saw that Yan Xinyu's family was good, but he didn't expect it to be richer than he imagined. It is well known that one of the most expensive hobbies is collecting.
"The inside information is this?"
"No. My mother told me that LULU made such a big move this time, probably not for the launch of a new product, because..." Yan Xinyu lowered her voice a little.
"In the past, LULU's new product launches were very low-key, and even then they were chased by MU's bribery draft. But this time, LULU held a press conference, and they didn't even announce the price."
Lu Wenxing:
"Your details, the press conference and the sale meeting. There is a difference of one word." Yan Xinyu sighed when Lu Wenxing didn't understand. "LULU never has a development conference, it's all sold directly."
Other brands also announced the release time when they previewed the press conference. If LULU really wants to crush MU, it will not just show new products.
"When you click on any product, there will be a product introduction and a display of its advantages. Anyway, it's all kinds of rainbow farts, but LULU not only doesn't announce the release time, it doesn't even have a price, and it doesn't even do marketing. It's like a pure advertisement display."
"You mean... the watch is not on sale?"
"I don't know. Ordinary people don't appreciate the difference in detail, but businessmen think further. It's just that they don't believe that LULU will give up this great opportunity to turn back after being suppressed for many years."
"Forget it, tell you that you don't understand either." Yan Xinyu thought for a while.
"For example, it's similar to the saying on the Internet, 'You used to love me, but now you can't afford me'."
Lu Wenxing: "..."
Although, such an analogy seems strange.
What Yan Xinyu didn't say was that their family's history was full of ups and downs.
So she can understand this feeling better.
He went to a noble school since kindergarten, and his family went bankrupt, so he was forced to transfer to another school. The former good friends all came to step on her, and now that their family has returned to the top, those people are stern again, looking for her as if nothing happened.
Yan Xinyu used to be very squeamish, but later he learned that to make friends, he must be in the same circle. She did not reveal her family background in college, but her roommates treated her very sincerely.
"Don't steam the steamed buns to save your breath, LULU's turnaround this time must have been very beautiful."
Soon it was the day when Lu Wenxing returned to China, and he planned to give his parents a surprise. I wanted to go back secretly, but Ji Yuan called him a week ago and said he wanted to see him.
Lu Wenxing had no choice but to tell Ji Yuan that he was going back to China, and then...
Looking at the family members who came to pick up the plane in front of him, standing neatly in a row, Lu Wenxing fell into deep thought.
Not only Wen's family, but Lu Xiaofei and Xie Nian also came.
Xie Chengfei is approaching the college entrance examination, and the school does not want the students to be too nervous. Labor Day can be a holiday with senior one and senior two. But he didn't look very happy, especially when he saw Wen Zheng walking up to take the suitcase from Lu Wenxing's hand naturally, the feeling of displeasure was even worse.
I still remember that Lu Wenxing came to pick up the airport for the first time when he recorded a program, but Wen Zheng's subconscious action took Xie Chengfei's place.
But what made Xie Chengfei angry was not this, but that no one had told him before that Lu Wenxing had found his biological father and biological mother.
He also felt sorry for Lu Wenxing, and hoped that he would find his family, but when he saw Lu Wenxing's family standing together, he suddenly felt that he was no longer the closest person to Lu Wenxing.
"Xiao Cheng." Lu Wenxing noticed Xie Chengfei standing at the side, walked over and pinched his cheek, "You are finished, you will be eighteen years old, and your milk fat is still there, and your dream of being a cool brother is gone."
Then, Xie Chengfei's face turned darker.
"Why? You're not happy to see me! Then I'll go back by plane."
Xie Chengfei snorted softly, Lu Xiaofei knew very well that her son was delusional, Xie Chengfei only found out about it on the way here, given him some time, he would be able to figure it out by himself.
"Don't pay attention to him, let's go to eat." Lu Xiaofei wanted to put Lu Wenxing on Lu Wenxing's shoulder, but was stopped by Ji Yuan.
"Xiaofei, let's ride in Huaihe's car together. Let the three of his brothers sit together. Young people love to play and have conversations."
Lu Xiaofei knew Ji Yuan's intentions, she wanted Lu Wenxing and Xie Chengfei to have a good chat, so she cooperated and said, "Then Xie Nian, let's sit with Ji Yuan."
"Okay, let's go."
Xie Chengfei was still quarreling and didn't want to sit with Lu Wenxing, but Wen Huaihe's commercial car could only seat two people in the back row.
Xie Nian and Lu Xiaofei got into the car at the same time, and when Xie Chengfei looked over, they closed the door neatly.
Xie Chengfei: "..."
"What are you looking at? How old are you, and you still follow your parents?" Lu Wenxing forcibly pulled Xie Chengfei into the car, and said to Wen Zheng.
"Brother, drive quickly."
Wen Zheng didn't know why Lu Wenxing was in such a hurry, but he still started the car and followed Wen Huaihe out of the parking lot.
As soon as the car door was locked, Lu Wenxing looked at Xie Chengfei with a smile, "My dear brother, don't even think about jumping out of the car."
"... I didn't want to jump out of the car." Xie Chengfei became more and more angry as he thought about it.
"Really? I think you don't want to sit with me."
Xie Chengfei turned his face away and looked out the car window. Lu Wenxing sat next to him and disturbed him, "Didn't you really hope that I would find my family?"
"Because I found my biological parents, so I'm not your brother?" Lu Wenxing pinched Xie Chengfei, "Little heartless, Bai treats you so well."
Xie Chengfei actually wanted to ask, would Lu Wenxing return to their home in the future? Is he and his parents the only three people left during the Chinese New Year
Xie Chengfei was very conflicted. Every time he saw a couple who came to recognize their relatives, he was very afraid that Lu Wenxing would not come back after leaving, but he didn't want Lu Wenxing to be disappointed again and again.
When they got to the eating place, Xie Chengfei still didn't talk to Lu Wenxing. He wasn't angry with Lu Wenxing, but he just... felt a little panicked.
After learning that Lu Wenxing was going back to China, Ji Yuan immediately contacted Lu Xiaofei, hoping that they could pick up Xingxing together.
She guessed that Lu Wenxing would definitely want to go back to City B to visit Lu Xiaofei, so she simply brought Lu Xiaofei and his wife to City C, which also saved Lu Wenxing the time to run back and forth.
Lu Xiaofei took care of Xing Xing for so long, Ji Yuan wanted to thank Xing Xing for a long time, but was afraid that the other party would not accept it, so he decided to have a meal together first to enhance the relationship between the two families.
After all, that's what the best outcomes are.
Ji Yuan didn't mind Lu Wenxing calling Lu Xiaofei's mother, she even thanked Lu Xiaofei for giving Lu Wenxing a home.
"Xiaozheng, show Xiaocheng the menu and see what he wants to eat?"
"Auntie, I can do whatever I want."
Xie Chengfei was awkward, and he was still very polite to his elders, but he was in a bad mood and was not interested in eating.
Wen Zheng took the menu from Lu Xiaofei, and Lu Wenxing, who was sitting next to Wen Zheng, said, "Let me order, Xiaocheng doesn't eat seafood and offal."
"The two brothers have a very good relationship." Ji Yuan smiled, "Last time I took the two of them to dinner, and Xiao Cheng kept ordering Xing Xing's favorite dishes."
Wen Zheng looked at Lu Wenxing thoughtfully.
In the past, Xing Xing always bought a lot of food to wait for him at home, but most of them bought his favorite food.
Lu Wenxing, who is three or four years old, probably thinks that what he likes to eat, everyone will like it too. Therefore, every time Ji Yuan takes him to the supermarket, he always buys double portions of snacks.
Maybe he couldn't resist eating it on the way home, but he would never touch the one given to Wen Zheng. When Wen Zheng came back from school, he would take it out like a treasure, and let Wen Zheng eat it quickly with a happy face.
Seeing Xingxing sitting next to him swallowing, but when Wen Zheng was about to share it with him, he would shake his head and say it in a childish voice.
"I've eaten it, this is my brother's."
It was clearly written on his face that he really wanted to eat, but he stubbornly refused to eat.
Cute and funny.
But for such a lovely star, Wen Zheng regrets that he was not able to grow up with him.
Xie Chengfei has been coaxed by Lu Wenxing, the two of them don't know what they are talking about, Lu Wenxing's eyes are still stained with a smile.
Wen Zheng thought to himself, as long as Xing Xing is happy.
They invited Lu Xiaofei's family here for another purpose, which was to celebrate Lu Wenxing's birthday, but they kept it from Lu Wenxing and wanted to give him a surprise, so no one mentioned it at the dinner table.
May 3rd.
On the day of the premiere of "Hundred Ghosts", the Wen family sponsored the premiere under the name of LULU under the Wen's Group.
Director Wang never thought that Wen's Group would find their crew, but Wen Jiacai is so powerful that he is willing to rent out the entire auditorium for them to hold an event, and is willing to promote "Hundred Ghosts" on the LED screen of Wen's Building .
This free publicity and promotion, Director Wang has no reason why he should not, he also enthusiastically invites the sponsors to participate, and arranges the middle front row with the best view.
Before taking the stage, Director Wang emphasized repeatedly.
"There must be more cue gold master fathers, and there must be rainbow farts before and after the start of each session, don't forget."
"The host and several of you are the leading actors. The advertising sponsors on the script must be read out. Today's big sponsor is the president of the Wen Group. You must be 'serving'. Lu Wenxing, what are you doing?" ?”
"Recite the script."
Lu Wenxing quietly put the phone in his pocket.
Yesterday, Wen Huaihe told Lu Wenxing with an apologetic face that he could not reveal his identity to the public for the time being, and he would be wronged for a while. Lu Wenxing actually doesn't care, he just wants to find his biological parents, it doesn't matter whether the outside world knows about him or not.
result…
Lu Wenxing took his mobile phone just now to search for the sponsors on the script. At first, he wanted to know more about it, but it turned out that... several of the sponsors are all companies under the Wen Group...
Lu Wenxing: "..."
Because he can't announce his identity to the outside world, he strongly supports him in the name of a sponsor
"Xing Xing, let me tell you, the two presidents of the Wen family are here today, you will perform well later, I will introduce you to President Wen, remember to seize the opportunity."
"what?"
Lu Wenxing didn't react for a while.
This performance fell into the eyes of Director Wang, who mistakenly thought that Lu Wenxing didn't understand what he meant, and he hated iron and steel, "Do you want to continue filming in the future?"
"think."
"When this show airs, you will definitely become popular. There are many film and television companies who want to sign you, but if you are abroad, they will hesitate even if they want to sign you. However, Huayi Media is different. They have invested heavily in artists in the early stage. , if you can sign into Huayi, you don’t have to worry about resource issues.”
Song Jiajia who happened to pass by: "..."
She really wanted to tell the director that Huayi Media had approached Lu Wenxing a long time ago and was rejected.
Gu Yanshen who happened to know about this matter: "..."
Le Hanfei who happened to listen to it: "..."
Director Wang didn't notice that their expressions were wrong, and was about to say something when Lu Wenxing suddenly spoke.
"Director Wang, you said just now that you wanted to introduce President Wen for me?"
"With Mr. Wen's permission, it's only a matter of one sentence for you to join Huayi Media."
"So, Huayi Media is also owned by Wen's Group?"
"Yup."
Lu Wenxing: "..."
No wonder Wen Zheng asked him why he didn't sign with Huayi Media on the eve of his departure. At that time, he didn't think about it, but thought that Wen Zheng just happened to know and asked.
He just didn't expect...
It turned out that Wen Zheng asked someone to sign him.
The author has something to say: Little Theater
Director Wang took Lu Xingxing to meet Dad: "Xingxing, let me introduce you, this is..."
Lu Xingxing: "Dad."
Dad Wen: "My son is really good."
Director Wang:? ? ? ?
