Chapter 57: Chen Xing
Chen Jie has been a little depressed recently.
Lost soul, the dictionary explains it like this: to describe the appearance of panic and anxiety, uncertainty, and abnormal behavior.
Chen Jie perfectly interprets this word.
Shen Chi is missing! Chen Jie was worried: "Did he have something to delay the start of school?" Will you come to school in the future? "There are some apprehensions.
"Did something happen to him? Car accident? Robbery? Falling objects? is dead" is very alarmed!
So the mind is uncertain, which leads to abnormal movements
Originally, after that day, she planned to stay away from Shen Chi, although she swore angrily not to let Shen Chi go, but it was just an unwilling obsession, and she didn't know how to let go of others.
But after being slapped in the face like that, she couldn't pretend to be casual and lean over. But she couldn't let it go!
Such a good person! Tall and handsome, mature and steady, extremely intelligent, and unobtrusive!! It's just her dream girl!
When she was in a dilemma, she suddenly found that Shen Chi was gone! It's worth it!
She searched around, but unfortunately Shen Chi didn't have any friends, and he didn't know his classmates well, so no one knew where he went. She went to the top of the school to inquire again, but Benjamin faithfully did not disclose Shen Chi's affairs to anyone, and also said that the teacher below would give special treatment to this student, and then he would send it away.
She didn't get much useful information.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and Chen Jie returns to Hong Kong in despair.
Her family has been in the jewelry business for several generations, and like many old families, her grandparents are very traditional, and every New Year's Day, the whole family must spend the New Year together. For this reason, she specially asked the school for five days off.
"Hey, it can't be like this anymore! You have to cheer up, and you can't let your grandmother see that she has lost her soul for a man, otherwise she will have to nag again. ”
Chen Jie got off the plane, got into the car that came to pick her up from home, and returned to Meihuatai.
Many of the wealthy people of the older generation, who are older than Li Ka-shing, live in Meihuatai.
The Chen family, no, the Su family, there is a mansion here.
"Grandma, I'm back!" Before Chen Jieren entered the house, he shouted at the entrance. "There are no rules! It's such a big person, and they are still yelling, that's how this foreign school teaches you! The old lady sitting on the couch reprimanded.
However, his voice was not stern, and there was a faint smile in the corner of his eyes.
Chen Jie also knew that her grandmother was just pretending to reprimand her, although her grandmother was short-tempered and domineering, but in this family, her grandmother's favorite person was her, and she never really lost her temper.
"Grandma, didn't I miss you~~~ Do you want to fly?" Chen Jie pulled Grandma Su to be coquettish.
Her nickname is Feifei, because the first two brothers are named Su Zhan and the other is Su Teng, before giving birth to her, everyone thought she was also a boy, so she was named Su Fei, but she didn't expect to be born a girl.
Mrs. Su's husband is rich, but at the beginning, it was agreed that if she gave birth to a daughter, she would have his surname, and if she didn't have a daughter, then her granddaughter would have his surname. So Chen Jie's surname is Chen.
What the? Grandson with his last name? Dream!
The Su family has been passed down for several generations, but when it came to Mrs. Su's generation, her father couldn't give birth to a son! Not to mention the son, the first few girls all died.
Mrs. Su begged God to tell the Buddha, and when she was fifty years old, she finally gave birth to Su Chuan, that is, Mrs. Su, who has been like a jewel since she was a child, and she is pampered, so she is afraid that something will go wrong.
It's a pity that although Su Chuan grew up safely and healthily, his marriage has not been smooth, and he even married two husbands who died in an accident inexplicably. Since then, she has gained a reputation as a Kefu, and no one will marry her from a wealthy family.
For this reason, the eighty-year-old Mrs. Su began to pray to God and worship Buddha again! Later, he was told by the monk: His daughter is a man's life! You can't marry, you can only marry a husband. And you have to find a kind of man, even the birth of the eight characters have strict requirements!
Actually, this is solemn and old lady Su is in his arms. The daughters of several generations of single generations are married, and they are someone else's! His original intention was also to recruit redundancy, but his daughter's temper followed him, and she was stubborn and stubborn! It's not that the man who is rich is not promising, and he can't look down on it!
What does a wealthy man want to do like that? Out of the air to put his daughter in the air? Turn all the Su family's property into your own? He's seen a lot of this kind of person!
Rather than recruit a powerful wolf into the house, it is better to marry someone, and he will choose a grandson to inherit the family business, which is reluctant.
Now that my daughter has been hit by the first two marriages, she believes in her fate and is willing to recruit others.
But it's really hard to find this candidate! The eight characters of the birth date must be a person born on the day of the month of Ding Siyue in the year of Wuyin, for this, Mrs. Su paid some price and inquired about the person born on that day.
The most suitable year for Wuyin is 1938. People born in this year are two years younger than Su Chuan. In Hong Kong in 1938, the birth rate was very low, but there were tens of thousands of newborns.
But in 1941, Hong Kong was occupied by Japan.
The three years and eight months of the Japanese occupation were the most difficult years in Hong Kong's history. The population went from about 1.8 million to less than 600,000! That's more than a million less! These include voluntary or forced returns, as well as unnatural deaths.
When Mr. Su searched for it, he was born on the day of Bingwu in the year of Wu Yin, and there were very few people who could still be found, and unfortunately, they were all women.
Could it be that the sky is going to kill his Su family? Old Man Su hurriedly went to consult the monks. Monk's advice: Outsiders are also OK, as long as they are born on that day, foreigners are OK!
This is looking for a needle in a haystack!
In Hong Kong in the 60s, there was no shortage of stowaways. In 1945, Hong Kong's population was more than 500,000, and five years later, it reached more than 2.2 million! By the sixties, it was as high as 3 million! Among them, only more than 300,000 people entered the port through normal procedures, and the rest were smugglers!
Where did the smugglers come from for real identity registration! In order to find a job conveniently, their age is often falsely declared. Where can I know people's birthdays?
It's not that Old Man Su is willing to find stowaways, it's just that his daughter Kefu's name is like thunder, not to mention that the door is right, even those ordinary people who look a little too far don't look down on his daughter.
After all, no matter how much money you have, you have to have a life to spend it! If you marry his daughter, you have to die, so what's the use of asking for money! Hong Kong people believe in this very much, at least these people that Mr. Su likes are very fond of this.
The key is that people are not short of money, so there is no need to fight for their lives.
There was no way, Old Man Su set his sights on these stowaways, and he hoped to find his true son-in-law from them. As for foreigners? He couldn't take it.
Not to mention, there are really a lot of capable people among the stowaways, but unfortunately, he knocked on the side, and the eight characters are not right.
He didn't dare to reveal his true purpose, if these people knew that he was going to recruit him, even if his daughter's reputation was famous, would any of these people dare? Stealing the sky and changing your life? Duty. Wouldn't that be a trap for him!
So, he thought of a way: recruitment. Su's Jewelry is fully recruited.
Su's Jewelry is fully recruited. There are no specific requirements, education, nationality, all are not required! Stowaways are also welcome! Only a man between twenty-five and thirty years old. For this reason, Su's jewelry reputation has soared!
Mr. Su also played a trick, each applicant only filled in the month and date of birth, not the specific year. Come to think of it, there will be very few people who fake it like this.
Not to mention, he really picked out more than a dozen people who were born on the day of Ding Siyue. He took them for a medical check-up. Externally, it is a physical examination, but in fact, it is really a physical examination, but there is one more item, bone age!
In this way, he discovered Chen Xing.
