Chapter 72: Chu Family's Sky-High Ambition
Lan Jianguo was pacing back and forth in his office, feeling very conflicted. He had already dialed a string of numbers on his phone, but he didn't know whether or not to make the call.
After thinking deeply for more than an hour, Lan Jianguo finally decided to make this call!
Beep... beep...
Lan Jian Guo was extremely nervous at this moment, it had been eighteen years since he last made this call, and he really didn't know what to say first after the phone connected!
"Hello."
The phone connected and the other party's voice sounded, Lan Jianguo's whole body suddenly stiffened!
In fact, eighteen years ago, Lan Jianguo would get very nervous every time he heard this person's voice. Eighteen years have passed and unexpectedly, this person's voice is still so majestic!
"Big brother!"
Lan Jianguo was a bit tongue-tied, standing straight in front of the window, as if facing Mount Tai.
"Haha, Jian Guo, we haven't been in touch for 18 years, is there something happy happening that you're calling me out of the blue today?"
The other's words made Lan Jianguo stunned again, and he smiled: "Big brother, what else can I be happy about? The marriage has been settled, the daughter is already in junior high school, just waiting for the little girl to get married, that's the happy event!"
"You're already a father, how can you still be like this, stuttering all over the place!"
"It's been a long time since we last contacted Big Brother, I miss him."
"Don't play dumb with me. Tell me, is there something going on with Hong?"
The other party is very clear about what Lan Jianguo is doing now, and if nothing major happens, Lan Jianguo will not contact himself, which is also what he entrusted to Lan Jianguo back then.
"Big brother, big sister is nothing wrong, but...but..."
"Hurry up and speak, I have several important meetings waiting for me."
"Big brother, when are you going to take some time off and come back to the country?" Lan Jianguo said.
"Return home? Forget it, I'm afraid if Hong sees me she'll get angry!"
"It can't be, big brother, I... Ah, I'll just say it straight out - you and eldest sister's son are not dead at all."
"What did you say? Jian Guo, tell me clearly, what's going on with Tie Hong's son still being alive?"
Lan Jianguo told the other party about Chu Zifeng's affairs, and also told the other party about Zhao Hong coming to Yanjing to find her son.
When Lan Jian Guo finished speaking, the other party remained silent for several minutes, but Lan Jian Guo could hear that their breathing had become noticeably heavier.
"Jian Guo, you said my son is still alive, he's still living in this world?"
"Yes, eighteen years ago was our fault, we shouldn't have hidden it from you, Big Brother. But now that we know your son is still alive, I shouldn't add more sin to myself!"
The other party was silent for a while, didn't show too much excitement, and didn't jump up directly. Instead, they maintained their original attitude and asked: "What is the attitude of that red scarf?"
"Eldest sister is very sad, because your son eighteen years ago for some reason was taken to Jiangxi Province Z city by someone and got lost on the street, it was the director of an orphanage who picked him up and raised him as his own, so he resents his parents very much. At that time when eldest sister saw him, he didn't recognize her either. Now eldest sister is temporarily living at my place, accompanied by Xiao Yu and second sister."
The other party asked: "So are you now looking for him everywhere? I mean my son, Chu Zifeng?"
"Yes, this is an order from Second Sister."
"Jian Guo, you immediately instruct them to stop looking for my son. Everything will wait until I return to the country."
"But, big brother, how should I deal with Big Sister and Second Sister on that side?"
"Just say you can't find him. Judging from the current situation, Zifeng is convinced that we abandoned him back then. If you search for him all over the world, he will be disgusted and may even leave Yanjing, making it even harder for us to accept him! This matter can't be rushed, we can only take steps to get close to Zifeng, tell him what happened back then, and let him slowly accept us!"
Lan Jian Guo said: "Alright, I'll do it according to big brother's intention. However, big brother, even if you return to the country now, you can't directly rush to Yanjing, otherwise, big sister will definitely know that I told you, she has given a death order, and if anyone dares to tell you about this matter, she won't let them off!"
The other party said: "I understand, then I'll go back to Shanghai first. Jianguo, this matter still needs to trouble you and Xiaoyu, now only you two can approach Zifeng in another identity and find an opportunity to tell him what happened that year."
"Big brother, don't worry, you saved my life, your business is my business, I will definitely complete the task."
After hanging up the phone, Lan Jianguo opened the window and looked at the blue sky, smiling: "Eighteen years have passed, and my brother is finally coming back!"
New York, USA
In the top office of the tallest building on Wall Street, a man in his mid-40s had just hung up the phone, with an extremely excited expression on his face, and a smile that hadn't appeared in years finally reappeared on his face today.
"Mary, come to my office for a moment."
The man pressed a button on his desk phone and then heard a woman say, "Yes, President."
Less than a minute later, the office door opened and in walked a blonde American woman.
"What instructions does the president have?"
The man said: "Get the plane ready immediately, I'm going back to China."
Others go wherever they are asked to prepare tickets, but this one is good, directly preparing a plane!
"Yes, President."
The blonde American woman walked out of the office, and the man made another phone call. On the phone, he said: "Dad, it turns out my son is not dead, he's still alive!"
"What? Tian Xiong, are you kidding me?" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Dad, I'm not kidding you, this is real! Lan Jian Guo just called me and said he found my son! And also, Hong has seen him too, she's absolutely sure it's my son. Moreover, the Teng Long ring is on my son's body, it wasn't lost all those years ago!"
That old voice began to tremble, an old man in his sixties, who had lost a grandson eighteen years ago, and now, eighteen years later, this grandson reappeared, how could he not be excited.
"Where is the child now? Is he doing well? What's his name?"
"He was from Yanjing, grew up in an orphanage since childhood, and his name is Chu Zifeng."
"Alright, very well, I'll return home immediately."
"Dad, don't worry for now, because there are still some issues that haven't been resolved. Once they're settled, I'll immediately send someone to Brazil to pick you up."
The old man sighed and said: "I understand too! Never mind, you guys handle things as soon as possible. After I return to my country, I want to see my grandson at the first time."
"Dad, don't worry, I absolutely won't let what happened eighteen years ago happen again."
Hanging up the phone, this man who once dominated China thought to himself: "Whoever dares to hurt my son will die."
The capital of China, the largest news agency, all high-level leaders are having a meeting in the conference room.
"I'm telling you, Huaqing, how did you become the editor-in-chief? This month's news doesn't even have a single explosive point. If it continues like this, we won't even need to eat!"
"Boss, there really isn't much big news lately, so I can only make do with those small news stories."
"Ah, big news, indeed. Recently, apart from business news, there's nothing much to report. Alright, let's just go with the news you've prepared for this issue."
Beep beep...
Just as the meeting was about to adjourn, the fax machine in the conference room rang. The top leader here said, "Wait a minute."
A secretary handed over the faxed materials to the top leader, who took a look and found that it was just a photo with three words written below. The background of the photo seemed to be Shanghai Pudong International Airport, but the person in the photo wasn't very clear, only showing their side face. However, those three words alone were enough to make the top leader both surprised and delighted!
"Look, look, this is the big news, the big explosion... Immediately revise the content and cover of this issue, title: Chu Tianxiong returns to China... Quick, quick, quick..."
The entire conference room was mobilized and they had to rush to release the news as soon as possible.
Chu Tianxiong, the eldest son of the Chu family, is the CEO of Tenglong Group. The Tenglong Group is one of the world's top ten companies today and was founded by Chu Tianxiong's father, Chu Yuanshan.
The Chu family is rich enough to rival a country, but no one knows exactly how much money the Chu family has. It's just known that the Chu family is full of heroes, and the most representative ones are Chu Yuanshan and his son Chu Tianxiong! Chu Yuanshan started from scratch and built an empire, earning him the nickname "Teng Long" back in the day. He also triggered a storm in Asia 40 years ago, causing wars to break out in several Asian countries.
Twenty years after the distant mountains of Chu, Chu Tianxiong emerged from the void, doing many absurd things, stirring up a wave of Chinese culture, but also growing up in absurdity, and was called by people at that time "Crazy Lion"! However, when this crazy lion met Zhao Jia's eldest daughter, Zhao Jin Hong, he became subdued. He had thought to live an ordinary life with Zhao Jin Hong, but unexpectedly, due to the events of eighteen years ago, the entire Chu family, both dragon and lion, withdrew from China and lived abroad for eighteen years!
Now, Chu Tianxiong this mad lion has finally returned, what surprise will he bring to the world again?
No one knew that this time, it was not Chuyuan Shan or Chutian Xiong who brought surprises to the world, but rather Chu Zifeng, the third generation of the Chu family.
