Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 273 Li Jiayuan Returns to the Mainland (3000 words)

Tian Shutai still couldn't believe it. After all, this was no laughing matter. He stared intently at Shen Wenyi.

"Is Li Libing really your mother?"

"I"

Mentioning her mother, Shen Wenyi's eyes instantly reddened, and she nodded.

A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Tian Shutai's aged eyes.

"Then I really am."

This time, Shen Wenyi did not answer.

"So you two haven't recognized each other as father and daughter yet. It seems I've come at the wrong time. Let's reschedule for another day."

"I go first."

Having achieved his goal, Li Jiayuan knew it was time to leave.

Let the father and daughter talk about the rest themselves. If he remembered correctly, Li Libing left a suicide note when she left, which Shen Wenyi never handed over.

DNA testing can also prove Shen Wenyi's identity.

Three days later, Tian Shutai brought Shen Wenyi to visit him in person.

This time, when Li Jiayuan saw Tian Shutai again, he had a completely different impression. The last time, Tian Shutai gave him the feeling of a lonely old man who had become indifferent to business.

His eyes used to be filled with weariness about life, but now, there is light in Tian Shutai's eyes. Indeed, when a person has something to strive for, even their spirit changes.

As for Shen Wenyi, her change was also obvious; she became more cheerful, and it was clear that she was in a good mood after recognizing her father.

office

Fang Ting brewed tea for the three people present. Fang Ting's tea-brewing skills are excellent, as she has received professional training.

A secretary is sometimes a face of a company. Only when a company is excellent enough can it avoid being looked down upon by others. And this excellence depends not only on the company itself, but also on its employees.

“Mr. Li, thank you so much for helping me find my daughter. Without you, I might not have made it to that day.”

"It was nothing, I just hope you don't mind that I was meddling."

"Mr. Li, this is the equity transfer agreement. Please take a look."

Tian Shutai took a contract document out of his briefcase and placed it on the table.

From the moment the paternity test results came out, he made up his mind to transfer his company shares.

He used to be all alone and had no ties, so he didn't care about the ownership of the company. But now that he has found family, he has to think about his daughter.

Li Jiayuan is right. Once he leaves, many people will be eyeing this company. Wenyi is a young girl, and she may not be able to withstand the pressure.

If the company is taken over by the Jiayuan Group, as long as Li Jiayuan doesn't have any ulterior motives, then no one can harm Wenyi's interests.

Those shares were enough for her to live a carefree and happy life as a rich girl.

"Wenyi, you go out to eat first. I have something I want to talk to Mr. Li about."

"Oh"

Only Tian Shutai remained in the office.

"Mr. Li, I believe in your abilities and your character. I have no other wish in this life. All I want now is to see my daughter get married and have children. If I am still alive, I hope I can hold my grandson again and enjoy the happiness of family life."

I want to ask you a favor.

Tian Shutai is gone

He went back to the company with Shen Wenyi. From now on, Tian's Real Estate belongs to Li Jiayuan. He has already obtained 60% of the shares and become the largest shareholder and the big boss of Tian's Real Estate.

Oh, it should be called Jiayuan Real Estate now.

"Go and call Gao Jin over for me."

"Yes"

Tian's Real Estate will be handed over to Gao Jin for practice. Tian Shutai promised to do his best to get his subordinates to cooperate and get them familiar with everything in the company as soon as possible and get things on track.

He completely withdrew from the company and returned home to enjoy his retirement. According to Tian Shutai, he had already made a will, and all his shares and estate would be inherited by Shen Wenyi after his death.

"Tsk tsk, Cheng Lang, it seems he needs to step up his game. Shen Wenyi has become a rich woman, and I'll have to step in."

"Brother Yuan, another charity came to visit today."

Lunch
When Ruan Mei mentioned it casually, Li Jiayuan patted her head.

"You weren't even in the office, how did you know?"

“Xiaoting said that charitable organizations have been visiting our home these past two days.”

"Really? I really didn't know that."

"I'll call Fang Ting over and ask her."

Fang Ting, who was at work, was suddenly summoned by her boss. Without having time to finish her work, she rushed over to accept the task.

However, Li Jiayuan only wanted to ask him about those charitable organizations today.

“A few organizations did come by. Yuan-ge, don’t you dislike those organizations that come to your door? That’s why I didn’t notify you. They even brought promotional brochures. Shall I show them to you?”

"Brother Yuan, don't you hate these organizations the most? Why?"

Ruan Mei ate her food until her cheeks were bulging, like a little hamster.

Huang Lei shook her head helplessly, took out a napkin, and helped Ruan Mei wipe the grease from her mouth.

In response to Ruan Mei's question, Li Jiayuan simply thought for a moment and said...

"Although many charitable organizations use the name of charity to swindle money, there are also many charitable organizations that are genuinely doing good deeds. Fang Ting probably misunderstood what I meant."

"Oh"

A moment later, Fang Ting brought over the brochure, and Li Jiayuan slowly wiped his mouth.

"Polio Donation"

He picked up the booklet, his relaxed gaze suddenly turning heavy, and he stared at it blankly for a long time. Huang Lei, who knew Li Jiayuan best, had a strange look in her beautiful eyes, and she also picked up the booklet, noticing their actions.

Ruan Mei wiped her hands and picked up a booklet as well. "Is it really that good? Yuan Ge and Lei Lei are both so engrossed in it."

"Poliomyelitis? What is that?"

Huang Lei, a top student, offered further explanation from the side.

"Poliomyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis, is a disease that mostly affects children."

Ruan Mei exclaimed in surprise.

"It says here that there are tens of millions of children in mainland China with this disease. What will happen to them?"

"Infectious viruses; severe cases can cause paralysis."

After speaking, Huang Lei looked at Li Jiayuan beside her and gently took his hand.

Would you like to donate?

Li Jiayuan didn't answer and continued to stare blankly at the booklet.

He recalled a news story from the 90s: a charity event initiated by Leon Lai raised $350 to purchase the sugar pill vaccine developed by Gu Fangzhou's team.

A total of 80 million children were vaccinated, and the $3.5 million was equivalent to nearly 30 million RMB at the exchange rate at the time.

He didn't know if the news was true or false, but he knew that the disease still existed in the mainland. This booklet awakened a certain longing hidden in Li Jiayuan's heart.

He pushed back the chair, slowly stood up, walked to the bedside, placed one hand on the glass mirror, and gazed in that direction.

Huang Lei noticed his sudden emotional fluctuations; his emotions had become unstable ever since he saw the booklet.

Huang Lei gently hugged his waist from behind, her voice soft.

"what happened to you?"

"I'm homesick."

There are probably too many people who cannot understand the loneliness of not having a single "compatriot" to talk to.

He really wanted to go back and see it, even if it was just for a moment.

Li Jiayuan turned around, hugged Huang Lei in his arms, and then looked at Ruan Mei not far away.

"I want to go to the mainland, would you like to come with me?"

"Ah~"

In the afternoon, Li Jiayuan summoned Gao Jin.

He then called on Wah-dee to announce that he was preparing to go to the mainland.

During his absence from the company, it was temporarily managed by Hua Di, Gao Jin, and Bao Wenlong.

In fact, these three people have been working for so long and have practiced enough. Unless there is a major emergency, they are capable of handling all problems.

So he had nothing to worry about.

Li Jiayuan brought his family with him on this trip to the mainland, treating it as a vacation.

He headed straight for Guangzhou. This time, he brought all his bodyguards with him. After all, it was a long trip, and with Huang Lei and Ruan Mei by his side, safety was the most important thing.

He said he would talk about the donation later; his first priority was to have someone investigate the specific situation of polio in mainland China.

His first task was to investigate the current price of vaccines in mainland China. The results were somewhat unexpected; vaccines are not cheap. At $350 million, it seems that only a few million sugar pills can be purchased.

Furthermore, as a national immunization program vaccine, the sugar pill has always been procured and distributed by the government, and there has been no situation where individuals purchase and distribute it.

Therefore, it is almost certain that the news report in later generations contained errors.

Then there's the current situation regarding the spread of this disease and vaccine coverage in mainland China.

Too few, far too few. Although the mainland began responding to the WHO's call to carry out nationwide polio immunization in 90, and planned to give about 8000 million children under the age of 4 free oral polio vaccine from 1993 to 1996.

However, given the current tight fiscal situation and the inability of the national strength to fully cover all areas, many remote areas still face transportation and economic problems and require the assistance of the general public.

The mainland has also been looking for donations, but the charity that Hong Kong Island approached, the Jiayuan Group, turned out to be a fraudulent scheme.

Ideas copied from the mainland are used to scam money in Hong Kong.

Li Jiayuan asked Lin Liangshui to contact government officials to discuss donations, while he took the opportunity to breathe in the fresh air of the mainland.

Provincial Government, Deputy Secretary's Office

"Comrade Mao Yang, this is Comrade Li Dakang from the Provincial Health Commission."

(It's just a coincidence of names, not the same Li Dakang)
"Li Dakang informed me that this is Comrade Mao Yang, who has been transferred from Beijing to be fully responsible for the cross-strait plan. All decisions related to that side will be handled by Comrade Mao Yang."

"Hello, Comrade Mao Yang"

"Hello, Comrade Li Dakang"

The two shook hands. Li Dakang looked at the bright-eyed Comrade Mao in front of him. He had heard of such a person before, but had never met him in person.

I never expected to meet under these circumstances.

Li Dakang got straight to the point.

"The situation is urgent, so I'll keep it brief. In recent years, the number of children with polio in our country has been increasing, and the situation has become very serious. Last year, a strong immunization program was officially launched."

However, some regions are facing financial difficulties and cannot afford to purchase vaccines for children, so we have been seeking assistance from the community for years.

Mao Yang was completely confused. He understood the logic, but what did this have to do with him? He was here to handle cross-strait relations, not to handle the work of the Provincial Health Commission.
"Comrade Mao, just the day before yesterday, someone contacted us and offered to donate $700 million to the Strong Immunization Program."

Mao Yang nodded slightly, then after a moment, his eyes widened:

"How much do you want?!"

Under Li Dakang's solemn gaze, Mao Yang swallowed hard.

"7700 million US dollars!!"
