The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 329 Zheng Ke’s Family

In 1992, some wealthy people even used mobile phones. They were really heavy and could kill people if they hit them.

The subscription fee for a mobile phone is 6,000 yuan. The subscription fee for a pager is a little cheaper now, but it still costs thousands of yuan. In the beginning, the subscription fee for a pager was more than 2,000 yuan.

Zheng Ke has a pager and a cell phone. Nowadays, rich people use both pagers and cell phones, mainly because the cell phone signal is not good and they often have to look for a signal everywhere to make a call.

Jiang Cheng sent a message to Zheng Ke when he arrived in Shenzhen. He stayed in Shenzhen because he knew she was in Shenzhen, otherwise he would have gone to Hong Kong that day.

Before going to Zheng Ke's residence, Jiang Cheng packed some food from a restaurant in Shenzhen. After arriving at the residence, Jiang Cheng didn't have to wait long before Zheng Ke came back from get off work.

In recent years, Zheng Ke has been doing charity activities everywhere, which inevitably exposes him to the sun and wind, and he is also approaching 40. Compared with Zhou Lingying and Shen Li, the gap in image is widening.

But in terms of temperament, there is an indescribable feeling. This person who devotes himself to charity and helps poor children gives people a sacred aura.

The sacred and inviolable. The sacred and inviolable.

"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood. If charity work is too annoying, just don't do it. You threw Xiaoshuang to Hong Kong and let her go with Lily. You are really careless." Jiang Cheng lay on the sofa like Ge You, and asked Zheng Ke who had returned.

It is not easy to do charity work nowadays, there are too many people who need help. I know that Jiangdonglai in Shenzhen spends a lot of money on charity every year, and there are too many people who come to seek help.

Doing charity is obviously a charity activity, but it is also a charity activity that is most likely to be morally kidnapped.

People from a certain calligraphy society would always come to Zheng Ke to seek donations whenever there was a disaster or something in the country.

The key point is that the Jiangdonglai Charity Foundation established in Hong Kong is responsible for on-site rescue. However, Jiangdonglai is self-reliant and has not mobilized anyone to donate money to the foundation.

However, we have organized donations of books, clothes, stationery, etc. in Hong Kong. In China, we organize employees in our own shopping malls and factories to donate books, clothes, etc.

Anyway, we only accepted material donations and never asked for a penny.

How can it be that this organization, which is itself a rescue donation organization, donates to an organization of the same type that relies solely on external donations?

Zheng Kexin was kindhearted. She had opened a loophole before, but now she feels she is being blackmailed. Every month, people from this organization come to a poor primary school and complain that there is no funding, the children don’t have enough desks to study, and the teachers have to save on chalk.

A disaster occurred somewhere and what happened to the elderly people?

Anyway, ten or twenty thousand is not too little, and a million is not too much.

In addition to this, Zheng Ke, on behalf of the company, also provided assistance to several poor people who were sick and had no money for treatment a few years ago. This also led to some seriously ill people always running to the company for help.

This is not helpful. Just say that the love before "Jiang Dong Lai" was just acting and pretending.

As a foundation organization that only spends money without any income, it has encountered many troubles in doing charity and charity activities. Of course, there are still many simple people in this era, and many of them know how to be grateful. If it were not for this, Zheng Ke would probably have lost the mood to do charity.

"It's not about the company, it's about the trivial things in my family." Zheng Ke responded, shaking his head.

"What's going on with your family?" Jiang Cheng first lay down on the lap of the man sitting next to him after hearing this, and then continued, "You have given your family a lot of money in the past few years. As a daughter, your filial piety is enough."

Zheng Ke quit her job in the art troupe and ran to Shenzhen alone for the love she longed for. She got together with Jiang Cheng, a man who had a wife and children.

At that time, I not only kept it a secret from my family, but also from my husband's family.

Back then, Zheng Ke and Jiang Cheng deserved to be called adulterers for their behavior. One was a married man with several children. The other was a widower, but even if she had no children and wanted to remarry, she would have to tell her in-laws.

When she was young, she just resigned from the art troupe, and then she disappeared from her husband's and her family. It was not until two years later, after Zheng Shuang was born, that Zheng Ke resumed correspondence with her family.

But Zheng Ke never dared to bring her daughter back to her hometown for the New Year, because in her family's eyes, she was still a widowed daughter-in-law. She didn't have any children, so it was hard to explain why she suddenly brought a daughter home.

The key point is that Zheng Ke's partner is already married and has children, so it's hard to say. She dares not go back to her parents' home, and even less dares to appear in front of her in-laws. However, after a few years, Zheng Ke's in-laws no longer care about her.

At that time, Zheng Ke’s in-laws felt sorry for making her a widow and even advised her to remarry.

After Zheng Ke resumed contact with her family, there was nothing wrong with her. The problem was that she felt she owed her family something and could not be with her parents to fulfill her filial duties, so she used money to make up for it.

You have to know that Gan Province is an inland city. In the early years of reform, everyone's salary was only 30 or 40 yuan. Zheng Ke was arranged by Jiang Cheng to be the director of the propaganda department of "Jiangdonglai". At that time, he was paid more than 600 yuan a month, which was higher than other people's annual salary.

Every year during the holidays, Zheng Ke would send some money back home. It would be a hundred yuan at most, and several hundred yuan during the Chinese New Year. The total amount in a year was higher than some people's salary.

Zheng Ke is not the only child in her family, she has several older brothers. She sent money like this, almost telling her family that she has become rich.

It was fine in the first few years, but later on, either my eldest brother's son wanted to build a house and was short a few hundred dollars, or my second brother's son wanted to buy a bicycle for his marriage.

Later on, my parents grew older and in poor health, so they went to the hospital every few days, and I asked for money more frequently.

Shenzhen is close to Hong Kong, and it is also chaotic here, and the customs of relationships between men and women are not as good as those in other cities. Zheng Ke was also somewhat affected, and Jiang Cheng revealed that he had a woman and a child in Hong Kong.

Zheng Ke didn't want to keep it a secret from her family anymore, so she wanted to take her daughter back to her parents' home. She told them directly that she was following a man in Shenzhen, a boss in Hong Kong, and that he had a family, so she couldn't visit them as a son-in-law. But the boss was rich, and he bought her a house and a car in Shenzhen.

Zheng Ke thought that it would be fine if the family members talked about it and scolded him. He couldn't let his daughter grow up without seeing her grandparents, uncles and aunts.

Especially after knowing that Jiang Cheng, this shameless man, had plenty of money, he took his daughter back to his parents' home during the Chinese New Year that year.

When she returned to her parents' home, Zheng Ke thought she would be scolded by her family and that she had brought shame to the Zheng family. She had gone out to hang out with a man who already had a wife and children, and even gave birth to a daughter for him.

But who knew that after her family found out about the situation, nothing like what they imagined would happen happened. Instead, they all praised her for her ability to become a wealthy Hong Kong boss and help her brothers, nephews, and nieces.

No one mentioned those immoral things in front of Zheng Ke.

It was in that year that Zheng Ke paid for the construction of a three-story house for her parents in her hometown.

But in this way, Zheng Ke's nephews and nieces all knew that their "improperly behaved" aunt was a rich woman. Everyone wanted to start a business and ask their aunt Zheng Ke to help.

Now Jiang Cheng heard that Zheng Ke was worried about her family again. Although he was a little angry, he couldn't say anything. After all, Zheng Ke had been with him for so many years and gave birth to a beautiful daughter.

If Zheng Ke couldn't bear to do it, even if he was sucked dry by his mother's family, he would help the people over there. Jiang Cheng had such a huge fortune, so what else could he care about?

"My mother's family is a bottomless pit. Fortunately, they don't know about my situation in Shenzhen. Jiang Cheng, are we going to Hong Kong tomorrow?" Zheng Ke asked.

"Well, have you prepared gifts for Xiaofei's coming-of-age birthday party? If not, I can arrange it for you." Jiang Cheng replied.

"I really don't know what to give her." Zheng Ke shook his head and said.

It's not that Zheng Ke didn't want to give Jiang Fei a gift, it's just that Jiang Fei didn't like the ordinary things. And even if he wanted to buy a gift, he could find some antiques and paintings in China for older people. But for Jiang Fei, it must be something that young people like, so even if he had to choose, it would be more appropriate to go to Hong Kong.

"I'll take care of the gift issue. Let's eat. We've brought food from Jinhao Hotel." Jiang Cheng said. He guessed that it was quite rare for Zheng Ke to prepare a gift for Jiang Fei.

In this era, people in China are very vulgar, and the rich like to pay attention to gold. The names of restaurants are either "Jin" or "Hao", and the decoration must be magnificent. Those nouveau riche like this.

So the name of Jinhao Hotel seems vulgar to people in later generations, but the chefs in this hotel are really good.

As for the gift for Zheng Ke, it is actually difficult and easy. If you have money, you can give her a valuable piano. Jiang Fei can play the piano, which is also a social instrument for socialites in the upper class.

If you don't want to spend too much money, you can give her a limited edition record or something. Although it is expensive, it is nothing compared to pianos that cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
