Lin Qingrou was carefully cared for by Du Hongming and got off the elevator, and seeing that Du Zeming did not appear again behind her, Lin Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Hongming escorted Lin Qingrou to the hotel lobby, and then his footsteps stopped.

Lin Qingrou gestured curiously and said, "Where are we going to drink some coffee now?" ”

Du Hongming smiled and said, "Just now, Miss Lin agreed to go to coffee with me because the situation forced her to get rid of Du Zeming's entanglement. Now that this goal has been achieved, I would like to ask again, would Miss Lin be willing to drink coffee with me? This answer has nothing to do with Du Zeming or anything else. ”

Lin Qingrou nodded and returned Du Hongming with a bright smile. Lin Qingrou feels that Du Hongming is a person who is open-minded and can put himself in the shoes of others, and such a person is a very trustworthy object for her.

Lin Qingrou's thoughts are always very simple, looking at many things is to use some simple arguments as a basis for judgment, and at the moment Du Hongming is an approachable person who will not hurt himself in Lin Qingrou's opinion.

Du Hongming smiled and invited Lin Qingrou to sit in his luxury car, and told Lin Qingrou that they would go to a seaside tea restaurant, which was not far away, and the freshly ground coffee there was very worth tasting.

Lin Qingrou sat in Du Hongming's car, feeling an indescribable sense of security in her heart. This man seems to have a very reassuring smell on him, and he has just helped himself resolve the huge crisis facing Du Zeming. If it was his brother Lin Qinghe just now, then he would definitely defend himself and would not let Du Zeming mess around, but unfortunately Lin Qinghe never showed up after he went to deliver the customer, fortunately he met this person, Lin Qingrou felt very lucky.

The café is located on an artificial pier 1 km from the coastline. Du Hongming led Lin Qingrou all the way to a cruise ship moored at the pier, which was decorated in the style of a tea restaurant, with the inscription: "Xingyuan Tea Restaurant." ”

"The owner here is my friend, and the coffee she brews is sure to make you like it." Du Hongming introduced Lin Qingrou while taking a seat in the window on the third floor.

Lin Qingrou gestured to express her gratitude.

"You must have suffered a lot of grievances in the Du family, although I disdain the identity of the Du family, I still want to apologize to you." Du Hongming said suddenly.

Lin Qingrou waved her hand, "Mr. Du has already helped me a lot, although I have only known you for a day." ”

Du Hongming said with a smile: "Miss Lin doesn't have to be too polite, in fact, it makes me very happy that I can hinder what Du Zeming wants to do." ”

Lin Qingrou was very strange, why these two people were obviously brothers, and why they had such a bad attitude towards each other. It seems that Du Zeming is also very unwelcome to Du Hongming, the brother in front of him. And Du Hongming once mentioned that he wanted to return to China to get back what belonged to him, what is going on?

Du Hongming looked at Lin Qingrou's frowning and began to explain to her: "Miss Lin must be very strange, my relationship with Du Zeming. In fact, Du Zeming and I are brothers, and I am the eldest son of the Du family. I left the Du family many years ago and lived abroad until a few months ago. My relationship with Du Zeming actually stems from the conflict between me and my father Du Liangde, and this is a long story. ”

After that, Du Hongming told Lin Qingrou very frankly about the past between himself and the Du family. Du Hongming is the eldest son of Du Liangde and the first person to inherit the Du Group. At that time, although the Du family was already a wealthy family in the business world, the company was still in a very stormy stage. At that time, Du Liangde focused on cultivating his two sons, Du Hongming was 5 years older than Du Zeming, so he was naturally the first successor Du Liangde chose.

Although Du Hongming followed Du Liangde's instructions very much at the beginning, he did not oppose or resist his step-by-step arrangement, until he met a girl after he went to college, which changed Du Hongming's consistent attitude towards his family and his relationship with his father Du Liangde. This girl was not from a bad background, but she was the daughter of a direct competitor to Du Liangde in the mall at that time. Even so, it is not the biggest obstacle, what makes Du Liangde completely unacceptable is that the girl is deaf in her left ear, which affects her hearing to a certain extent.

The Du family absolutely cannot accept a woman who is not in good health as a daughter-in-law. Is this Du Liangde's absolutely unquestionable reprimand, and it is also a serious warning to Du Hongming. In this way, Du Hongming's relationship with the girl was obstructed in every way, and even threatened that if Du Hongming did not give up his relationship with the girl, then the company's heir would be replaced by his younger brother Du Zeming. Only those who obey me and live according to my wishes are qualified to become heirs, this is the iron law that Du Liangde said to Du Hongming and Du Zeming's two sons.

Du Hongming did not give up for this, he loved this girl very much. Soon, the girl's father's company was quickly liquidated due to repeated repression and competition. Du Hongming knew that behind this was the conspiracy and calculation of his father Du Liangde. In the end, Du Hongming chose to give up inheriting the family business and chose to go abroad with the girl to start a new life. In this way, the Du family also completely wiped out Du Hongming from the family, and no one dared to mention the name Du Hongming again.

"Did you and that girl live well abroad?" Lin Qingrou asked.

Du Hongming's expression darkened, and he said lightly: "She and I live very hard abroad, I have completely severed relations with my father Du Liangde, and I no longer take the Du family's money, so my life is not good." But we at least had a good time, and we all enjoyed the time when we were free and completely each other. It's just a pity ......"

"Just a pity for what?"

"She later contracted a rare blood disease that required high medical expenses to keep her alive, and when we were desperate, I begged my father, Du Liangde, that he would lend me a sum of money, even if it was ten times and a hundred times more repaid. But Du Liangde was a devil at all, he just laughed at my original decision and rejected me unequivocally. In this way, we tried everything, but I lost everything. ”

"I'm sorry to hear about it, do you regret it?" Lin Qingrou asked Du Hongming.

Du Hongming's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said firmly: "No, I never regret my choice, even if I have to choose again ten thousand times, the result will be the same." ”

"Why is the relationship between your brothers so bad, does this matter have anything to do with Du Zeming?"

At this time, two cups of fragrant coffee were served, and Du Hongming asked Lin Qingrou to taste the taste of the coffee.

After a long time, Du Hongming said: "Du Zeming's hostility to me also stems from the fact that after I gave up the inheritance of the Du family and left, because of my departure, Du Liangde redoubled his strict discipline on him, he has almost no life of his own, and he has no right to choose, he was arranged by Du Liangde in this way, like a puppet who sadly lives his life that has long been doomed." ”

"Du Zeming and I are half-brothers, and his mother, Li Shujun, has always been a strong woman and has made great achievements in the shopping mall. She wanted money and power wholeheartedly, and it was the junior who drove my biological mother out of the Du family. Li Shujun is not a big-hearted woman, and Du Zeming's attitude towards me is largely influenced by Li Shujun. Finally, after I left the Du family, their mother and son were the biggest victors. ”

"You're coming back for revenge?"

"Revenge is not important to me, the important thing is that I must let Du Liangde know that his lust for profit and mercenary will be punished sooner or later. I want to use my ability to defeat the Du family and snatch the Hongming Group back. ”

When Lin Qingrou heard the words of Hongming Group, she suddenly realized. That's right, Duch Group is a common name that people are used to, and the official name of the company that is really indicated on the register has always been Hongming Group. But also because the Du family can avoid, or emphasize Du Zeming's status as president, so the name Hongming appears less and less in public, and when people mention the Du family's company, they will say that it is the Du Group.

"Hongming Group, there's no way to get rid of me with this name, right? Even if it was deliberately avoided, it didn't change that the company was named after me at the time. ”

Lin Qingrou nodded, and then thought of the bidding for the Xiushan Beach project this time, so she asked Du Hongming: "This project on Xiushan Beach was planned by you in advance?" ”

"That's right, this is the first step to announce that I will return to China, I will compete directly with them, eat away at their business territory step by step, and finally defeat them completely."

Du Hongming swore that his goal was stated.

Lin Qingrou had already sorted out the relationship between the characters at this time, although she was still a little sluggish, but she also knew the future form. The Du Hongming in front of her is the CEO of Whitby Global Group East Asia, and the three people Lin Qinghe took her to the western restaurant to meet before were all senior executives of the Whitby Group, and at that time they mentioned that Mr. Du, who was absent due to temporary affairs, was undoubtedly Du Hongming.

In other words, in the future, Whitby Global Group will develop the western plot in Xiushan, while Dujia's Hongming Group will develop the eastern plot, and the two group companies will compete with each other at all levels. And because of this bidding, the Lin Group also got the relevant project business of Whitby Global Group, which means that the Lin Group will stand on the opposite side of the Hongming Group, so he and Du Zeming will have to derive more problems and conflicts in Xiushan in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingrou had a headache, but she had already promised her brother Lin Qinghe that she would definitely participate in the business of the Lin Group.
