Chapter 30 Don't Forget Your Dog's Fortune
“…………”
Chen Guanjiang was speechless. It turned out that he hadn't taken the words he said at their last farewell to heart at all, let alone reflected on them. He had just treated them as nothing.
Since what I say is treated like nonsense, there's no need to bother listening to what the other person is saying.
Du Huiying, filled with righteous indignation, saw Chen Guanjiang continuing to chat and laugh with Chen Jiagang, completely ignoring her. She wanted to slap him, but she stopped herself.
The couple had discussed it at home and decided that now that the child was grown up, they could no longer beat him at will. Du Huiying then squatted down and pretended to straighten Chen Jiagang's clothes, giving him a look.
Understanding perfectly, Chen Jiagang pouted and hugged Chen Guanjiang's arm, saying, "Brother Gou, let's go home! My third sister and I miss you so much!"
"Come on! Let's go back tonight and have a delicious meal."
In that place called home, the people Chen Guanjiang found hardest to part with were his third sister Chen Xiangshui and his youngest sister Chen Jiagang. Even knowing it was a trap, he couldn't help but jump into their pleas.
Little did they know!
Using emotional leverage to bind Chen Guanjiang will only make him more resentful and even hateful.
"Mom has put a lot of effort into preparing this meal to nourish you..." To Chen Guanjiang, Du Huiying's joy was like tricking a wild boar into a trap.
Chen Guanjiang wasn't incapable of being deceived, but the methods used to deceive people were so crude that it made him appear intellectually deficient.
Sitting in the car, Du Huiying's excitement never stopped.
Especially after being escorted downstairs by newspaper staff and then being respectfully escorted into the car by the driver, she became even more convinced of her unrealistic idea.
After getting off the bus, Du Huiying pointed to the four burly men behind Chen Guanjiang and asked, "Why are these four big guys following me in and out?"
"The bodyguards are here!"
Chen Guanjiang held his little sister's hand and said without turning his head.
Du Huiying became even more excited and took three steps at a time to the front, striding into the village house with her head held high.
"Sister Ying is rich now! Look at that guy, he looks so dashing in a suit and he's got a henchman with him!"
"Wow, your young master Jiang has really made it big!"
"Is it true that he earned tens of millions?"
"That big dog is so beautiful!"
“…………”
Upon seeing this, the neighbors immediately gathered around, chattering and laughing, their eyes sparkling with different expressions, yet all mirroring the way their mothers looked at them.
"I heard that if milk stocks were priced at 223 yuan per share, people would make 20 million!"
As Chen Guanjiang watched Du Huiying speak eloquently and enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention, he was completely unaware that the red eyes of the crowd were gradually turning green.
Over 90% of criminal cases involve perpetrators who are acquaintances.
Crimes stemming from jealousy account for 70% of all such crimes.
So Uk Estate covers an area of 7.8 hectares and has 16 buildings with 5152 housing units, catering to families of 6-12 people and providing housing for 3.16 residents. The Cha Fa House alone has nearly 2000 residents.
Such a complex and massive crowd made Chen Guanjiang feel a chill run down his spine, demonstrating the true value of the saying "ignorance is bliss".
After all, the city walled city is only three kilometers away. At worst, one can make a fortune, hide in the city walled city, and never come out again. Even if one gets caught, it's not a big deal.
Although no formal legislation was enacted, Hong Kong stopped carrying out the death penalty in 66, so it's perfectly normal for people to have some thoughts about it.
"Young Master Jiang, are you kind enough to treat me to a drink and some stockings? Congratulations on making a fortune!"
"Let's treat the villagers to egg tarts! The rest is a tip."
"If you're successful, you should help your neighbors. Is milk still available?"
"This bone is for the dog!"
“…………”
Chen Guanjiang greeted everyone with a smile while handing out small bills to his neighbors. He remained silent and smiled at their questions, hurrying home without stopping.
The residents of the estate weren't so easily appeased. More and more people gathered, chattering and asking about the milk company. If it weren't for the four bodyguards clearing the way, they wouldn't have been able to get in at all.
The poor do not visit relatives, and the rich do not return to their hometowns.
Now exposed to the spotlight and becoming the focus of everyone's attention, countless shareholders are watching his next move in order to maximize their profits.
This is Chen Guanjiang's biggest trump card to protect his wealth, and also his biggest bargaining chip in negotiations with the Jardine Matheson Group. To think that a cup of milk tea would reveal information is simply wishful thinking.
"Are you selling, exchanging, or holding? Say something!"
"If I become rich and powerful, let us not forget each other!"
"A big guy pushing someone, already putting on airs?"
"..."
When Chen Guanjiang pretended not to hear, the neighbors immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, even though they still had loose banknotes in their hands.
Finally, when he got home, Chen Guanjiang was still sweating profusely when his eldest brother Chen Jiangbei, his sister-in-law Fan Huilin, and his second brother Chen Yandu all gathered around him.
"Yaoyao, quickly call for Fourth Uncle!"
"Fourth Uncle~"
"Four Dogs, congratulations!"
"Eldest brother and sister-in-law! Second brother, you're back..."
Chen Guanjiang hugged his eldest niece, Chen Muyao, and looked at his two brothers and sister-in-law, feeling very uncomfortable.
As the eldest son of the Dragon born in the Year of Ren Chen, Chen Jiangbei was the best candidate in his father's heart to inherit his father's business. Before his elder brother came of age, he did work as an apprentice with his father for several years.
However, outsiders can chant sutras.
Hong Kong is deeply influenced by Western culture, and many wealthy families choose Western-style funerals rather than Chinese-style funerals, leaving the poor often without enough to eat.
After my elder brother and sister-in-law had a child, they stopped working in the funeral industry and found a job delivering bottled water to support their family. Although the job was stable, it was very hard work.
Working so hard yet earning so little money, the eldest brother resented his father for making him drop out of school early to support the family and become a hopeless laborer. That's why he moved out shortly after getting married and rarely came back.
The second brother, Chen Yandu, received an offer of admission from the University of London with excellent grades. Unfortunately, his family could not afford to support his studies abroad, so he settled for the law department of Hong Kong University.
Although Hong Kong University's teaching quality is not bad, its law department was only established in 1969, and its faculty strength cannot compare with that of the University of London, which was founded in 1826.
Moreover, Chen Yandu's idol, Wu Tingfang, who was "China's first modern doctor of law" and Hong Kong's first Chinese member of the Legislative Council, graduated from the University of London.
Including Zhou Junnian, the "Hong Kong barrister" who passed away last year, he graduated from the Faculty of Law at Oxford University in England. In this era, advanced legal knowledge is equivalent to a passport to high society.
His future was ruined, and Chen Yandu always felt resentful about it, even hating himself for being born into such a poor family.
As a result, he usually lives at school or works outside, and rarely goes home.
Unexpectedly, an article that earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars brought back both of his brothers who had left home.
Normally, gathering together would be a happy occasion, but their expectant eyes were actually gleaming with a desire for money.
They only see the "millions made in the stock market," but fail to see the extreme danger behind it, or perhaps they instinctively refuse to think about this issue...
