Chapter 203: Tong's Family
The car drove through the rain and finally stopped in front of a European-style manor near the suburbs.
This manor has a history of hundreds of years, there is an old banyan tree in front of the door, the thick branches stretch out vigorously, the pavilion is like a canopy, the leaves have been washed by the rain, showing a verdant dark green, like the most loyal guard of this old mansion.
The lights in the manor are still on, after all, the hostess has not returned from the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the little young master to accompany the distinguished guests, and she always has to wait.
When the car arrived at the door, the door did not open, and a middle-aged man with an umbrella came out of the gatehouse.
He walked over to the window and stood still.
Zhongbo stepped out of the car.
"Tong Zhenggang, are you blind, and you don't open the door when you see the master's car? Do you still want to come out to check? Or drive us away?" Zhongbo scolded as he pointed to the middle-aged man with an umbrella.
"Hehe, Tong Shouzhong, you still dare to go back to Tong's house? I thought you were dead outside, and even the corpse was eaten by wild dogs, I just won't open the door for you, because you are not welcome here, hurry up and roll as far as you can, and don't cause trouble for the Tong family." Tong Zhenggang stood proudly with an umbrella, and said to Zhongbo with a disgusted face.
"Tong Zhenggang, your good days are over! Zhong Bo scolded angrily, he is confident now.
The rear door opened, and Wenxiu stepped out of the car.
As soon as he saw Wen Xiu, Tong Zhenggang's eyes were about to burst out, and the expression on his face was extraordinarily exciting, and he couldn't figure out what was going on, but he still ran a few steps quickly and hit the umbrella on top of Wen Xiu's head, and he was completely exposed to the rain.
"Madam, why are you ......?" Tong Zhenggang asked suspiciously.
"Do you also know that this is the Tong family, and you dare to block the door when you see the master's car?" Wen Xiu glared at Tong Zhenggang, the old housekeeper of the Tong family is definitely conscientious and diligent and responsible in his work, but he is very inflammatory, and he ponders the complex relationship between the characters of the Tong family every day, and he does a lot of flattering and diligent things, and the things that the dog looks at people are also easy to do.
Tong Zhenggang rolled his eyes and immediately realized that things had changed.
"It turned out that the master was back, this is really good, it's raining heavily outside, Madame hurry up and get into the car." Tong Zheng just opened the car door and let Wenxiu sit in, and at the same time, nodded at Tong Yehan in the car.
When he saw Chen Healing, his face was stunned, why was it not Wen Yehan, but a strange teenager, because the sky was dark, Tong Zhenggang did not see the similarity between Chen Healing and Tong Yehan.
The door opened, and the drenched Zhongbo drove the car to the door of the main building, and Tong Zhenggang had already taken two umbrellas from the gatehouse to help Tong Yehan, Wenxiu and Chen Heal support and escort them to the covered bridge.
He was also so smart to the core, although he was curious why Wen Yehan didn't come back with him, he would never ask.
The time had already entered the second half of the night, Wen Xiu showed her shrewdness and ability as a hostess, and quickly arranged a room for Chen Yu and Master Sanguang, Tong Yehan and Zhong Bo already had a room.
"Night cold, I want to sleep with you. Half an hour later, he came to Tong Yehan's room in thin silk pajamas, his eyes were red like peaches, and he had obviously just cried.
Wen Yehan's incident hit her too hard.
Tong Yehan was injured on his body, his stomach was still wrapped in gauze, and he couldn't take a bath, so he was leaning on the pillow and pondering, and he was quite surprised to see Wenxiu come in.
"It's not appropriate, and I've got injuries. Tong Yehan said.
"The night is cold, I'm afraid of ......," Wenxiu said, tears leaving again.
"What is there to be afraid of in your own home, you don't know the situation of the Tong family, although only our family lives, but the number of security, cleaning, and service personnel is as many as dozens, just to maintain this home, the cost is expensive, and safety can naturally be guaranteed first. Tong Yehan said.
"Yehan, I know you're blaming me for living too luxuriously, but we are a big family, how can we do it without a few servants in the family, and how can we do it without a little pomp and circumstance, we will be looked down upon by others. Wen Xiu happened to sit down on the edge of the bed.
"The Tong family is already a thin camel now, nothing more than a loss of flesh and blood, and a false name of a big family, these servants have nothing to do every day, so they wipe the corners of the house over and over again, and turn around the yard again and again, but the salary in hand is higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers, who do we pretend to show it?"
"Then I will dismiss them all tomorrow, I also see these people as pitiful, how can they make a living when they get out of the Tong family?" asked Wenxiu.
"You don't care about this, and then Huanhuan has his own arrangements, if you settle down and live with me, then let go of the power in your hands, and when my injuries are healed, we will go out for a while, there should be some. Tong Yehan said.
"Is Huanhuan okay? He's still a kid. Wen Xiu said worriedly.
"He will only be stronger than you think, this moment of effort, I searched with my mobile phone, and the reports about him have been overwhelming, the Qingxuan company he founded, the strength is probably no longer under our Ruixing Group, the mess of the Tong family, and only by handing it over to him can we have a chance to regain vitality. Tong Yehan said.
Wenxiu took the phone and looked through them one by one.
"Chen cures?" she asked.
"Yes, I fostered Huanhuan in an orphanage in Jinchuan City, and was later adopted by a Mr. Chen Xutang named Chen Heal. Tong Yehan said.
"Jin Chuan, if I'm not mistaken, that woman from Wutong is from Jin Chuan. ”
"Yes, Wutong is from Jinchuan, in order to avoid your persecution, I took Huanhuan to Jinchuan, one of the purposes was also to find Wutong, but unfortunately I didn't find it. ”
"You still think about that woman, she has only been with you for four or five years, but I have taken my own life. ”
"But this is love, love is unreasonable. ”
……
By noon the next day, the rain had stopped, the sky was clear, the sky was clear, and the air was filled with the smell of freshness.
Tong Zhenggang had already arranged for the maid to make breakfast, and after a night's rest, Tong Yehan and Zhongbo's complexions looked better, but Wenxiu looked extremely haggard, and there were bruises caused by bruising on his face.
The atmosphere is eerie.
"After a while, I will meet all the servants of the Tong family. Chen cured a sip of milk and said.
"Let Lao Tong arrange it, he is the housekeeper of our Tong family, he has been working in the Tong family since his father's generation, although there are some shortcomings, but he is very loyal. Wenxiu said.
Tong Zhenggang stood aside and kept nodding, smiling flatteringly, but worried in his eyes, for fear that Chen Hell would replace him.
As Tong Yehan said, there are more than 60 servants up and down the Tong family, including more than 20 men and more than 40 women.
Tong Zhenggang is a male housekeeper, and his wife Zhang's mother is a female housekeeper, a plump middle-aged woman.
Chen Heming is also thinking about whether to dismiss all these people, even if only Tong Zhenggang and his wife are left, it is completely enough, not to mention loyal uncles.
Chen Hehe had the intention of letting Uncle Zhong be the housekeeper of the Tong family, but he had to arrange some other things for him to do, so it didn't make much sense to change people in such a hurry.
Thinking about it, Chen Heal suddenly had an idea.
He called Xu Zijun.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected, and Xu Zijun was obviously woken up from his sleep.
"Hey......" There was a weak voice.
"Are you still sleeping, don't you play games?" asked Chen, who knew nothing about the industry.
"It's just been a night away, and our routines are different from normal people, you don't understand. Xu Zijun said vaguely.
"Where is the house rented by your team in Shanghai Province?" asked Chen Zhihe.
"Near the bridge. Xu Zijun said.
"Is it Hanjiang City?" asked Chen Cheng, who was not familiar with Shanghai Province, and some specific areas were really not very clear.
"Yes, Hanjiang City, Hanjiang is the capital of Shanghai Province, and we rented a house outside the Fifth Ring Road, and more than a dozen people were crammed together. The housing prices in Hanjiang are very expensive, if you don't save some money, I'm afraid that you will finish up the funds you give in a few days. Xu Zijun slowly came to his senses.
"A dozen people crammed into a room, and it doesn't have to be so economical, right? So, do you have anything to do today?" asked Chen Zhihe.
"No, our task now is to train, and then participate in the Internet café league, the schedule of the Internet café league is not very tight, I just played one game yesterday, and I can rest for three days. Xu Zijun said.
"Okay, I'm in Shanghai Province now, you send me the specific place to give me status, I'll send a car to pick you up later, I want to change the team to a new base. Chen said.
"What? Are you in Shanghai Province? Isn't it the company's annual meeting? Why did you come to Shanghai Province?" Xu Zijun asked in surprise.
"It's a long story, so do what I do. Chen said.
"Good. As soon as he heard that Chen was cured in Shanghai Province, Xu Zijun was obviously in spirit, and quickly sent the positioning.
"Lao Tong, you arrange for someone to drive to this place, bring my friend here, and make this call when you arrive. Chen Yuren gave Tong Zhenggang the location and Xu Zijun's phone number.
"Okay, okay, I'll pick it up myself, I'm familiar with Yangqiao. Tong Zhenggang agreed.
"No need, just arrange someone to go, there are a lot of things at home in the past two days, you have to stay and help me." Chen said.
"Understood, then I'll arrange someone right away, young master. "Tong Zhenggang is the old man of the Tong family, he knows everything that happened to the Tong family, after a night of pondering last night, he has already guessed the identity of Chen Heal, and today he looks at it carefully, and he is more convinced.
He tried to call out the young master, and the corner of his eye went to observe Chen's reaction.
Chen Cheng smiled and took it as a default.
