Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 416

"How come you, a busy man, have time to come to the headquarters today?"

After asking Su Xiaotong to sit down, Li Yancheng waved his hand and asked the secretary who came in to pour water to go out first. He personally made a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table, and handed him a cigarette.

Unlike the previous headquarters which was more like a department responsible for contacting and conveying orders from superiors, the current Social Affairs Bureau headquarters has assumed the responsibilities that a headquarters should bear, and the Beijing Social Affairs Bureau, like other provincial bureaus, is only responsible for local cases.

Su Xiaotong is now the director of the First Division, and the work in the First Division is very busy. Jing City is an important city, a place that all kinds of demons and monsters are keeping a close eye on and want to infiltrate. Especially now that we are going to reform and open up, the level of work is even busier than before.

As the director, he was so busy for nearly a month that he had no time to go home. If his wife wanted to see him, she had to go to his workplace and might not be able to see him.

It wasn't just him, almost everyone in the place was like this during that time.

Li Yancheng ran over to give acupuncture to many comrades who had been staying up late for a long time. If it weren't for him, there might have been several people who died suddenly at work in one place.

"Come over to the archives to check some information."

After taking the cigarette handed to him by Li Yancheng and lighting it, Su Xiaotong said.

"It just so happens that there aren't many good things going on today, so I'll stop by and sit with you for a while."

"You don't come to me for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter with you? We've known each other for more than ten years, and we've worked together on more cases than we can count. Stop playing dumb with me."

Li Yancheng didn't believe what Su Xiaotong said that it was not much and it was just on his way. The First Division had a new case in the past two days. As the director, he should be so busy that sparks would come out when he walked. How could he be fine?

"Uh... well, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. There really is something going on."

"Well, go ahead. I'm listening. Is it something about the case? Do you need my help?"

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with the case." Su Xiaotong shook his head and reached out to flick the ash into the ashtray on the coffee table.

After flicking the ash off his cigarette, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "It has something to do with you."

"Is it related to me?" Li Yancheng was slightly startled, and then asked curiously: "What is it?"

"Yancheng, your family is back." Su Xiaotong took a deep breath and said seriously.

"I..." Li Yancheng was about to say where my family came back from, but he immediately realized what this meant and stood there in a daze before he finished speaking.

Su Xiaotong didn't say anything else. He just sat on the sofa and smoked quietly.

After a while, Li Yancheng finally asked, "Have we arrived yet?"

"If nothing goes wrong, I'll be there the day after tomorrow. I arrived in Hong Kong Island yesterday, as an investor. However, Cheng Huaigu will not come because his identity is quite special.

You should also know that he has a lot of not very glorious businesses under his name, and he is also the head of the largest community in Chinatown in the Big Apple. With just these two identities, he cannot get a visa.

The one who came this time is your brother, who is now the vice president of Cheng Corporation, and he brought his wife and some middle and senior executives of their company. At the same time, there was also a very low-key person who came with them. "

Having said that, Su Xiaotong did not continue speaking, but just looked at Li Yancheng deeply.

Li Yancheng understood the meaning in his eyes.

"Is the very low-key person you are talking about Fu Shuyi?"

"Haha, I just like talking to you." Su Xiaotong smiled and nodded.

"She is your mother after all. Why do you mention her name as if she were a stranger?"

"Besides the blood relationship, Cheng Huaigu and Fu Shuyi are strangers to me. I was only three years old when I was lost. As for Cheng Jianwen and Cheng Mingxi who were born after I was lost, that's even more of a problem."

Li Yancheng chuckled, leaned over to put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the coffee table, then raised his head and looked at Su Xiaotong again.

"Okay, Xiaotong, you wouldn't come to tell me this for no reason. Tell me, does Uncle Su have any task for me?"

Of course Li Yancheng knew about the news that foreign businessmen were coming. After all, he worked in the General Office of the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters. Although he had almost no responsibilities, he knew much more than outsiders.

It's just that he doesn't care about these things, so he hasn't looked at the list of foreign businessmen who are coming, so he doesn't know that the foreign businessmen invited this time include members of his biological family.

He believed that Su Xiaotong must have come to tell him all this today with instructions from the organization, and he was probably just a scout.

He could probably guess the intention.

"Yes, and no." Seeing that Li Yancheng had already guessed it, Su Xiaotong no longer hid it. He reached out to pick up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip, put it down and continued.

"My old man asked me to tell you that the higher-ups may agree to your meeting, but your status is rather special, so your meeting must be supervised by the staff of the foreign affairs department."

Hearing this, Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows. He really wanted to say that it didn’t matter whether there was supervision or not, the main thing was whether they could avoid meeting.

But he also understood that this meeting was not as simple as recognizing relatives. The most important thing was probably that he wanted to use him to finalize Cheng's investment.

The Cheng family's business is quite diverse, mainly engaged in shipping, maritime transportation, banking, real estate, light and heavy industries, as well as food and minerals.

There are even more companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by banks.

The reason why the Cheng family was able to expand their business was mainly because they helped many wives who came to China to seek refuge before liberation.

Some of the people who had received their favors later went to Europe, and some went to the Ugly Country. It was precisely because of the good relationship with these people, and the fact that the Cheng family itself was relatively wealthy, that the business had been smooth sailing over the past few decades.

Cheng's business and those people's businesses have formed a situation where you are in me and I am in you.

Just when Li Yancheng's thoughts were in a mess, Su Xiaotong saw that he had not spoken for a long time. He could guess what he was thinking with a roll of his eyes. He organized his words, coughed twice to attract his attention, and then spoke.

"Yan Cheng, I know you don't really want to meet them, and the higher-ups don't want to turn a warm family recognition into a mission, so I came here first today.

What my old man meant was that they are your blood relatives after all, and they lost you because of the war, not because of any other grudges.

It is much more open now than it was ten years ago. You can recognize someone if you want to, as long as you don't have any private contact. The scene of your meeting will not be reported in the newspapers, and it will not be known by too many people. They will not stay in the country for a long time, so it will not have a big impact on your life. "

"Won't it have any impact?" Li Yancheng smiled and shook his head, then sighed leisurely.

"Alas... I hope it won't have any impact. I'm very satisfied with my current life. I'm not even 40 yet and I've already reached this level. I have two children and a beautiful and gentle wife. I don't want to change anything. I just want to live like this."

Su Xiaotong didn't know how to respond to this. To say that it wouldn't have any impact was a joke.

How could it not have an impact? Didn’t you see that the higher-ups are all working to facilitate this recognition?

Before Su Xiaotong could say anything else, Li Yancheng nodded and said, "Xiaotong, go back and tell Uncle Su that I agree to this recognition of kinship, and I will also try my best to promote the Cheng family's investment in China.

but……"

"But what?"

"But I have no right to ask what they want to invest and how much they want to invest." "I don't care about that either. The business side has nothing to do with my old man, and he doesn't hold a position in the government department." Su Xiaotong smiled and waved his hands.

"My old man just wants to arrange the Cheng family's recognition of your relationship with you, and he doesn't want anything to go wrong. He doesn't care about other things.

Eh? That's not right..."

Just when he said this, Su Xiaotong remembered something and said with a half-smile, "Yancheng, Uncle Luo is in charge of the business, right? Are you sure you don't care?"

!!!

I'll rub it!
The expression on Li Yancheng's face froze, and he completely forgot about it.

Mr. Su has always been working for the organization and has always been engaged in the organization's foreign affairs work.

Mr. Luo is different. He holds positions on both sides. In his position in the government, he is in charge of the business part.

After a quick thought, Li Yancheng figured out why his father-in-law didn't say anything about this. He didn't want to embarrass him.

Looking at Li Yancheng's somewhat dull face, Su Xiaotong laughed secretly in his heart.

……

While Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong were discussing the matter of recognizing their relatives, people in Hong Kong Island, thousands of kilometers away, were also discussing the matter.

Cheng Jianwen was a little confused as to why his mother followed him this time, and did so anonymously.

Although he was born in Ugly Country, he knew clearly that his hometown was in the north. His parents, grandfather and other relatives all left the north and went to Ugly Country in 1948.

My father can’t come back because of his identity issues, and my grandfather is old and in poor health so he can’t come back. I can understand that my mother wants to go back to her hometown to see him, but why does she have to remain anonymous?
The Cheng family came to the north to investigate whether there are any suitable investment opportunities. This is a normal business activity. Although Fu Shuyi is not in charge of the company's affairs, she is also a shareholder of the company. It is normal for her to occasionally participate in business activities. It is not a big deal to follow her back to the north. Chouguo will not care about this.

Can……

"Mom, why did you come here anonymously?"

In the end, Cheng Jianwen asked about his doubts at the dinner table.

Fu Shuyi, who had just picked up a piece of food, paused when she heard this, and the food on her chopsticks fell back into the bowl.

On the other side of the table, Cheng Jianwen's wife Hao Yushi, who was eating, also looked up at her mother-in-law curiously.

She was also puzzled by her mother-in-law's behavior this time.

Hao Yushi is also an ugly Chinese. She is thirty years old this year, one year younger than Cheng Jianwen.

Her family arrived in the Ugly Country much earlier than the Cheng family. As early as the Qing Dynasty, her grandfather had already arrived in San Francisco. Now the Hao family also has a considerable influence there.

Her marriage to Cheng Jianwen was considered a marriage between Chinese families, but the couple had a good relationship after marriage. It was much better than other marriages without feelings, where they each had their own affairs after marriage.

The couple has a son, Cheng Zhenyu, who is seven years old this year. He is the same age as Li Yancheng's youngest daughter, Li Xiaoyu.

Cheng Jianwen knew that he had an older brother. His family did not hide the fact from him, and they also knew that he was lost when he was four or five years old.

His wife Hao Yushi was also aware of this matter.

But they didn't know that their parents had already known the whereabouts of their brother ten years ago.

Although Cheng Huaigu and Fu Shuyi missed their eldest son very much over the years, they kept the fact that he had been found a secret.

Apart from the two of them, no one in the family, including the old man, knows about it.

Now that they have arrived in Hong Kong Island, in a few days they will be able to see their eldest son whom they have not seen for many years. After thinking about it, Fu Shuyi decided to confess to her youngest son in advance.

Thinking of this, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up the napkin to wipe her mouth, turned her head to make sure there were no outsiders nearby, and then spoke in a low voice.

"See, Yushi, the main reason I came here this time is to meet someone in the north."

Meet someone?

Cheng Jianwen and his wife who was sitting opposite him looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Who are you meeting, why are you being so secretive?

"Mom, who do you want to see?"

"Meet...meet your brother."

boom!
Fu Shuyi's words exploded like a thunder in the ears of Cheng Jianwen and Hao Yushi, leaving them stunned.

It took Cheng Jianwen a long time to come back to his senses.

"Mom, did you find me...my brother?"

Although he knew that he had an older brother, he had only seen photos of him before the age of three. It could be said that he had no feelings for him at all. It was impossible for him to have any feelings when looking at a few photos of children before the age of three.

even……

Cheng Jianwen was even worried that his inheritance rights would be lost after his brother was recognized.

That's how big families are, profit comes first, not to mention he is a qualified businessman.

His concerns were, of course, also Hao Yushi's concerns.

As the mistress of such a family, Fu Shuyi knew everything. She only took a glance at her son and daughter-in-law sitting on both sides of the dining table and knew what they were thinking.

After thinking about it for a while, she spoke directly and made it clear.

"Jianwen, I know what you are worried about. Are you worried that after your brother recognizes you, your inheritance rights will be lost?"

The inheritance rights of the Cheng family are generally given to the eldest son and grandson. Cheng Huaigu is now the chairman of the group, and the child who was lost that year was really recognized. He is Cheng Huaigu's eldest son. According to the family rules of the Cheng family, the inheritance rights are in his hands.

Cheng Jianwen didn't expect his mother to be so straightforward, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Mom, I didn't..."

"Okay, no need to explain, and you don't have to worry about your inheritance rights being taken away." Having said that, Fu Shuyi smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Let me put it this way. Whether or not the recognition will be successful this time is still unknown. Your brother doesn't want to recognize him at all."
