Chapter Twenty-Four: An Amazing Past
"And then?"
Mei Ruoxue couldn't wait to know what happened next, and her eyes opened with curiosity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Zhao Yuanwai himself is not a bad person, if you get rid of this little problem in the eyes of too much money, you can even be said to be a kind person, if it wasn't for your grandfather inadvertently smashed his beloved collector's version of the antique, as for what kind of antique, I don't know, but it is certain that the object must be priceless. If it weren't for this, Zhao Yuanwai wouldn't have kicked your grandfather out of the house in a fit of rage. And he knew the situation of our family, and he didn't force your grandfather to pay a debt, but just asked your grandfather to write a huge IOU, and also asked his old man to promise that if he couldn't repay his debts in this life, then his father would repay the debt. ”
"As for the deadline...... There is no deadline at all. ”
"In general, Zhao Yuanwai is a good person, although because of antiques, he doesn't like to see your grandfather, but seeing your grandfather begging bitterly, Zhao Yuanwai, who finally remembered the old love, was moved by compassion, moved a little relationship, and bailed your father out."
"After your father came out, he learned that the person who saved him was Zhao Yuanwai, and without saying a word, he came to the door and asked Zhao Yuanwai to take him in for long-term work, for life, on the grounds of paying off his father's debts, of course, everyone knew that he was not only to repay his debts, but also to repay his kindness."
"Since then, your father has served in Zhao Yuanwai's house, because he is shrewd and capable, and hard-working, he is deeply valued by Zhao Yuanwai, plus Zhao Yuanwai's body has become less and less tough in those years, slowly, your father, a young man in his early twenties, has become the Zhao family's housekeeper and deputy, taking care of the Zhao family's livelihood for the master."
"I have to say, your father, my brother Mei Yaoting, he was born a business genius!"
When he said this, Mei Rongting's eyes burst out with unconcealable admiration and admiration, Rao is himself has reached such a height, and the brother in his memory is still the existence he admires the most.
"Zhao Yuanwai's family originally made a fortune by engaging in the silk business, but after your father took over the business, in just one year, the annual net profit of the Zhao family doubled! As your dad's income has doubled, our family's life has gradually improved, and I can finally focus on my studies with peace of mind. It's just that our old father, your grandfather, left without a few years of happiness. ”
"In this process, your dad ran business by walking around, his contacts gradually expanded, and he got to know a lot of business bosses, with his down-to-earth temperament and kindness, your dad can be said to be a mixed wind and water in the business circle, and many bosses can establish a friendly and trusting relationship, and since then he has gradually emerged in the business circle."
"At that time, he first came into contact with the oil industry, the oil industry was not as developed as it is now, but your father he saw the business opportunities in this industry, and proposed to Zhao Yuanwai to attack the oil industry at that time, but Zhao Yuanwai was terminally ill that year, unable to preside over the overall situation, out of trust in your father, Zhao Yuanwai gave his only daughter Zhao Bixiu to him, and intended to hand over the property of the Zhao family to him to help Zhao Bixiu operate, the words are very clear, all the property of the Zhao family belongs to him. But Zhao Bixiu resolutely refused to marry him because he looked down on your poor-born father, let alone handed over the Zhao family's property to him to share, so he regarded his father's last wish as a void, not only did he not marry your father, but also drove him out of the Zhao family, he always looked down on your father, and later married an overseas Chinese named Zhuge Yu. ”
Zhuge jade? This surname seems to be somewhat familiar...... It's just that the strange feeling only lingered in her heart for a moment, because Mei Ruoxue who heard this was already angry and dissatisfied.
"What? Stepmom She used to look down on my dad? ”
The implication is, since you look down on my father, why did you still get married?
Just to occupy the Mei family's existing huge family business? He even did not hesitate to use the book of death to do such a hurtful thing?
Oh, that snobbish woman......
"It's not just looking down on it, it's just cheap! Naked insult! ”
Mei Rongting snorted heavily, and her voice trembled because of the sudden surge of anger: "I happened to come back from studying abroad that year, and I witnessed the snarky appearance of that woman holding another man's hand and poking her fingers to drive away your father, and I will never forget the few unconscionable words she said at that time, which were tantamount to beasts. What she means is that a lowly person like your father who takes a fancy to their Zhao family's money and is not worthy of sharing assets with her. At that time, her words were very polite, and she was simply personally attacked everywhere, trampling on your father's dignity. ”
"Those unbearable foul words, hearing the itching of even my teeth, almost rushed up to give her two slaps on the spot, in fact, I almost did that, but your father pulled me back...... He didn't say anything, just shook his head at me expressionlessly, and took me home with me, not resentful at all. ”
And even after a long time, he never said a word about it. Even after Zhao Bixiu's woman divorced, she was willing to accept him as his wife and become your stepmother, all in order to keep his promise to Zhao Yuanwai. ”
"Now that I think about it, my brother, he was a very measured (dialect, meaning big belly) man. But that Zhao Bixiu. Hum! In the past, he was so rude to your father, but now he dares to marry him with a cheeky face, and he is also plotting to belong to the property of our Mei family! ”
For his brother's big belly, Mei Rongting looked proud and his eyes were bright, but at the same time, he was indignant at his kindness.
If it weren't for his brother, how could Zhao Bixiu, a tumor, be planted in the Mei family?
Oh, no wonder my uncle hated Zhao Bixiu so much before, it turns out that there is such a complex background......
Mei Ruoxue thought secretly.
"However, although your father was kicked out of the Zhao family at that time, his connections are already very extensive, and the circle is first-class, and out of appreciation and recognition, there are several bosses who are willing to fund his business. And your dad is taking advantage of this to make a fortune in the oil industry. ”
"Who knows that there is really no pie in the sky, one of the major shareholders who invested in your father, and finally used the model of additional investment, relying on his own strong financial resources, to dilute your father's shares, and finally forced him to lose all his money, and worked in vain for two whole years, in the end there was no benefit, and all the treacherous and cunning but seemingly sanctimonious major shareholders were forcibly occupied."
"Additional investment? Diluted shares? ”
Mei Ruoxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was puzzled: "What is that?" ”
"You don't have business experience, maybe you don't know the middle way, anyway, sooner or later you will have to take over the big industry of our Mei Group, I'll talk to you briefly here."
Mei Rongting is upright, when it comes to business, this middle-aged man who has been giggling and smiling in front of his niece is full of spirit, and the momentum of a generation of business overlords arises spontaneously.
"Xiaoxue, you should know the concept of words 'investment' or 'financing', right?"
Mei Ruoxue nodded, and then listened intently, not daring to be distracted in the slightest, the experience of her predecessors is likely to make her take many detours in the future, and she can't be lazy.
Perhaps, it is not known that it will be useful one day in the future.
In her previous life, Mei Ruoxue, who was a twenty-eight girl, naturally had gradually matured in her temperament, and she had already practiced and empathized with the truth of not listening to the old man's words and suffering losses in front of her, and she did not dare to take it as a deaf ear in the face of the valuable experience of her ancestors.
