Chapter 470 Looking for Dad

That night, Su Mingzhe called Su Mingcheng, who was far away in China. When Su Mingcheng received the overseas call from his elder brother, he was very surprised. "Brother, it should be late at night over there, right?"

"Yes! Is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"That's convenient! I happen to be at work." Su Mingcheng got up from his workstation and walked into the quiet corridor outside.

"Mingcheng, my elder brother has never asked you for anything since we were little. Can I ask you to do me a favor?"

"Brother, tell me what's going on."

"Mingcheng, can you go look for our dad in Suzhou?"

"what?"

"Mingcheng, I have nightmares every time I fall asleep. I dream that our dad is wandering around, sleeping in the open and suffering from the wind and rain. It's really driving me crazy." Su Mingzhe explained with a wry smile on the phone.

"Huh? Big brother, you're just worrying too much. Don't scare yourself by imagining things."

"Mingcheng, there are so many homeless people in the United States. Whenever I see them on the street, I think of my dad." Hearing Su Mingcheng's nonchalant words, Su Mingzhe explained with a wry smile, "I think you should slowly look for my dad in China. Given his age and health, I guess he's probably at a construction site in Suzhou, or somewhere like that where homeless people gather under bridges."

"Brother, do you know how many construction sites there are in Suzhou now? You asked me to go to each construction site one by one to look for it, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack!" Su Mingcheng's shocked and exaggerated words came from the phone.

Hearing Su Mingcheng so excited on the phone, Su Mingzhe could only continue to beg on the phone, "Mingcheng, please beg me, brother. You can't let our father really die outside, right?"

"Brother, even if we find our father, will our mother accept him given her temper?" Su Mingcheng quickly thought of another fatal question.

"Mingcheng, your sister-in-law and I have discussed it. We will buy a two-bedroom, one-living-room house in Suzhou, and then hire a nanny for our father. We can just keep it a secret from our mother."

"Huh? Will sister-in-law really agree?" Su Mingcheng was a little surprised. With the housing prices in Suzhou, it would cost at least more than two million.

"Mingcheng, your sister-in-law is very open-minded. You can go find our dad without worry." Su Mingzhe on the other end of the phone was a little proud and felt really proud at this moment.

"Okay! I'll look around."

Hearing that Su Mingcheng finally agreed, the "mouth cannon" king Su Mingzhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Thinking of his first successful interference in family affairs, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but feel relieved and proud.

Next, Su Mingcheng would drive his new car around Suzhou during lunch breaks. During work, he would search at construction sites or under bridges near his workplace, and only on weekends would he go to construction sites farther away in the suburbs.

"Uncle, can I ask you about someone?" Su Mingcheng came to a construction site and asked an elderly worker.

"Okay! You go ahead."

"Is there an old man in his sixties on your construction site? He has a long face, is a little bald, and looks sick every day?" Su Mingcheng described his father as concisely as possible.

"Huh? Look at those old men, they are almost the same as what you described." The construction worker said with an unhappy look on his face, pointing at the old men who were eating in a group.

"Uh?"

Seeing that the construction worker suddenly became unhappy, Su Mingcheng was also a little confused. Then he came to the group of old men eating fast food on the roadside and looked at them one by one. However, the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt.

During this period, he visited many gathering places and construction sites for homeless people, and most of the people he saw were elderly construction workers. If anyone could live a comfortable life, they would definitely not come out to suffer like this.

The main reason he came out to look for his father in the beginning was because of his eldest brother Su Mingzhe's pleading. However, as he searched and contacted people over the past few days, Su Mingcheng suddenly discovered a world he had never been exposed to. The people in this world were more real and miserable. Most of them had to run out to "eat coarse food" in order to provide for their own children. Su Mingcheng couldn't help but think of himself, and suddenly felt ashamed.

Now Su Mingcheng no longer regards looking for his father as a way to deal with his elder brother. Instead, he is more enthusiastic than his elder brother Su Mingzhe. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't go out for a walk every day.

Seeing her husband leaving home early and returning late every day, Zhu Li couldn't help but feel distressed, "Mingcheng, you've been too busy lately."

"Hey! There's no other way. I have to find our dad as soon as possible."

"Mingcheng, are you really not going to tell Mom about this?"

"Forget it! Let's just keep it a secret from her." Su Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh when he heard Zhu Li mention her mother. "My eldest brother said he would buy a house for our dad in Suzhou and hire a nanny for him."

"Ah? Will my sister-in-law agree?"

"So I thought that we should both contribute some money. No matter how much it is, it will be our token of appreciation."

"That's fine! Even if Big Brother doesn't let us pay, we can always hire a nanny ourselves. It's much more convenient than Big Brother being abroad."

"Well!" Su Mingcheng was moved and kissed Zhu Li on the face, then looked at Zhu Li with a smirk, "My wife is amazing, let's have a small meeting quickly!"

"Ah? Su Mingcheng, I don't think you are tired yet." Although Zhu Li complained, her body was very honest.

At this time, Su Ning was having a carefree time in Tokyo, and had no idea that Su Mingzhe and Su Mingcheng were frantically looking for him. Even if he knew, he would not take it to heart, because he did not have such deep feelings for them.

"Susan, Ayako and Kitahara are here." Miyoshi Ayaka acted like a hostess at this time, and she really regarded herself as Su Ning's woman.

"Oh? Please come in!"

"Hi!"

Looking at the tall and plump Miyoshi Ayaka, Suning couldn't help swallowing his saliva. This enchantress was so charming that she always made Suning feel unable to stop.

Soon, Miyoshi Ayaka brought Ayako and Kitahara Kurasuke in, and then knelt down beside Suning. Her well-behaved appearance made Suning like her very much.

"Mr. Su, I apologize for disturbing you."

"Haha, Ayako, Kitahara-kun, please take a seat!" Su Ning invited them to sit down and poured them each a cup of Kung Fu tea. "You are in for a treat today. This is the West Lake Rain-Predated Longjing tea I brought from China."

"Oh? Then we must taste it carefully."

After Ayako and Kitahara Kurasuke took a sip, their eyes lit up. Ayako then looked at Su Ning and asked, "Mr. Su, I see you are very good at tea ceremony. Can I learn from you?"

"Okay! I also want to accept you as my beautiful apprentice."

"Thank you Mr. Su."

"Mr. Su, I believe you also know that I am the vice president of sales of JDI. I wonder if Suxin Technology can purchase LCD mobile phone screens from JDI?" Kitahara Kurasuke finally stated his purpose.

"Mr. Kitahara, we at Suxin Technology have always used BOE LCD screens and Samsung OLED screens, so your request really makes it difficult for me!" Suning smacked his lips with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Mr. Su, our JDI is really at a critical moment of life and death. Please Mr. Su can help us save JDI." Kitahara Kurasuke knelt and bowed.

"Kitahara-kun, even if I were to buy a batch of LCD phone screens from JDI, it wouldn't really solve your company's predicament, right?"

"Mr. Su, do you have any good ideas?" Kitahara Kurasuke looked at Su Ning excitedly.

"Kitahara-kun, I plan to build my own mobile phone screen company in China. You JDI can definitely join us and transfer some of the production capacity in Japan to China." "What?"

"Kitahara-kun, JDI, you guys should consider this. Suxin Technology is bound to build its own mobile phone screen factory, so we really hope that JDI can join."

"Mr. Su, this matter is too serious. I need to return to JDI to report."

"Sure! I'll wait for your news here."

"Hi!"

Soon Kitahara Kurasuke and Ayako left. Miyoshi Ayaka looked at Su Ning with a confused look on her face, "Su San, is such a big company like JDI encountering problems?"

"That's right! JDI used to be Apple's largest screen supplier, but now Apple has started using Samsung's OLED screens in large quantities, so JDI is having a hard time."

"Hey! So that's how it is."

"Haha, if JDI's production capacity can be placed in China, it will be a hundred benefits for Suxin Technology."

"Susan, doing business is really too difficult. I may never learn it in my lifetime."

"Hey, take your time, don't be impatient. Let's discuss other things."

"Hi!"

Suning and Miyoshi Ayaka are the first again.
A long time passed. Sanjicaihua was exhausted and hugged Su Ning. Then she explained in a low voice, "Su Sang, I want to go home tomorrow. My parents must be worried."

"Well, let's do it the day after tomorrow!" After thinking about it, Su Ning nodded and agreed, "I'll take you to buy some gifts for your parents tomorrow."

"Ah? Thank you, Susan."

"Haha, you are my woman, you don't need to be polite to me."

"Hi!"

"Ayaka, what if I gave your father a luxury car? I just don't know what brand he likes?"

"Susan, my father has always wanted to buy an Alphard commercial vehicle."

"No problem! Then give him a pair of Alphards and buy him a Lexus LS."

"Ah? Thank you, Susan." Miyoshi Ayaka couldn't help but be surprised.

"Ayaka, as for your mother's gift, we can only go to Ginza to buy it tomorrow."

"Hi! Thank you for your hard work, Susan."

"Hehe, why don't you comfort your Su Sang?" Suning looked at the fairy Sanji Caihua in his arms with a wicked smile.

"Hi!"

Regarding Suning's investment intention, JDI felt like a blessing after a long drought. They immediately reached a series of agreements with Su's Capital. Suning handed over all the specific negotiations to Su's Capital and once again lived a free and easy life.

This time when Suning came to Japan, it not only invested in JDI, but also reached an agreement with JAL Hotels under the introduction of Kitahara Kurasuke, and acquired 45% of JAL Hotels' shares, becoming the largest shareholder of JAL Hotels.

Su Mingcheng felt like he was going crazy. He searched everywhere in Suzhou every day. After searching construction sites and bridge tunnels, he tried his luck in various restaurants, but he always found nothing.

"Brother, are you sure our dad is still in Suzhou?" Su Mingcheng couldn't help but doubt.

"Mingcheng, Mingyu said that when she was in college, our father would mail her a mobile phone every year. The mailing address was Suzhou. I think our father should still be in Suzhou."

"Hey! Big brother, I've searched all the construction sites in Suzhou, big and small, and all the bridge arches, but I can't find anything."

"Mingcheng, now we can only look for it slowly, don't be too anxious."

"Brother, ever since I went out to look for Dad, I've been heartbroken seeing all the elderly construction workers on the site and the homeless people living under the bridges." After hearing his brother Su Mingzhe's advice, Su Mingcheng explained with a wry smile, "Now I finally understand how you feel. I'm really worried that I'll have a nightmare someday."

"Mingcheng, I'll also call Mingyu and ask her to help look for it."

"Su Mingyu? Where is she now?" Su Mingcheng asked puzzledly on the phone.

"She graduated from Tsinghua University in 2010 and went to Harvard University in the United States to study abroad. Then she graduated in 2013 and returned to China to work. She seems to be in Shanghai now."

"Well, Suzhou is very close to Shanghai, and our father might have gone to Shanghai. You can ask her to look for him in Shanghai."

"Mingcheng, you must keep this a secret from our mother!" Su Mingzhe couldn't help but remind him again.

"Don't worry! I know the seriousness of the situation."

After hanging up the phone, Su Mingcheng suddenly remembered that he had not been to the old house in Tongdeli for a long time, so he drove directly to the old house in Tongdeli, but saw his uncle coming out of the Su family. When his uncle saw Su Mingcheng coming back, he felt a little unnatural, as if he was acting sneaky.

"Mingcheng, you're back?" Uncle looked at Su Mingcheng awkwardly.

"Well, uncle is leaving now?"

"Yeah! I'm leaving first."

Su Mingcheng looked at his uncle's hurriedly leaving back, but revealed a thoughtful expression. Then he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, you gave my uncle money again, right?"

"Hey! Zhongbang is grown up now and he is dissatisfied with the poor decoration of his home, so your uncle wants to redecorate the house."

"What? So you gave it to him?"

"You only have this one uncle, how can you let him be in trouble?"

"Mom, you are too indulgent to my uncle. I'm afraid you will regret it later." Su Mingcheng looked at his mother with a wry smile.

"Haha, no! Your uncle is a pretty good guy."

"Oh! Whatever you want!" Seeing his mother indulging his uncle again and again, Su Mingcheng was helpless.

In fact, Zhao Meilan has always been on guard against her younger brother. She would clearly record every sum of money she lent to her brother, just to prevent any unpleasant things from happening in the future.

Zhao Meilan actually agreed with her second son Su Mingcheng's concerns, but she would take out money every time her brother came. Now she was used to lending money to her brother, and her brother was also used to borrowing money from her. There was no way to change anything.
