“Mr. Zhou, I was sent by your brother, Mr. Zhou Haide. He is my boss.”
"The boss took some money from you back then and has always remembered your kindness. So, he asked me to transfer 100,000 yuan to your account first to improve your living conditions."
"Due to some special reasons, the boss is temporarily unable to come back to see you, so I am doing this on his behalf."
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were both shocked when news suddenly broke that their brother, who had been out of contact with them, had apparently made a name for himself and become a big boss.
In their minds, that person was most likely dead, after all, there had been no news of him for so many years.
But to my utter surprise,
Not only was the other party alive, but they also sent someone back to visit relatives.
The huge sum of money that had just fallen from the sky wasn't a mistaken transfer; it was sent to them by their long-lost brother.
"My older brother is still alive? That's wonderful! It's like God has opened his eyes!"
"How has my older brother been all these years?"
"Brother, I'm so sorry about that. I thought you were a scammer. Thank you for bringing me this amazing news."
Zhou Dana's eyes suddenly reddened, and he grasped the man in the suit's hand, speaking with an excited expression.
He looked genuinely worried about his missing brother, and this sight moved everyone present. They felt that Zhou Dana, as the younger brother, was showing his true feelings and that his relationship with his brother was particularly deep.
Apart from Wang Xiuhua, no one knew that Zhou Dana was just putting on an act and deliberately staging this scene.
Wang Xiuhua, who reacted just as quickly, followed suit, feigning surprise and deliberately bringing up past events to strengthen the 'family bond'.
Seeing that the man in the suit had something to say, the second uncle and the other outsiders made an excuse to leave.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua welcomed the man in the suit into the house and pretended to inquire about Zhou Haide's situation.
The man in the suit didn't go into too much detail, only briefly mentioning that Zhou Haide started from nothing and built his own business, and is now a prominent boss in Hong Kong.
Upon hearing this,
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua exchanged a glance, both surprised and delighted.
"The boss misses his hometown very much and also misses you all."
"The previous 100,000 was only part of it. The boss instructed me to give you another 500,000 after I met you. You can use it as you see fit. At the same time, the boss wants to ask you for a favor."
The man in the suit spoke slowly, and as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua both jumped up from their chairs.
"How much did you just say?"
Zhou Dana's heart pounded. If he hadn't misheard, it was 500,000. His cheap older brother was actually going to give him 500,000. How much wealth did he have to be so generous? Even Zhou Chen probably couldn't compare.
My brother has really struck it rich!
Becoming a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong means that even a small amount of money he displays can elevate his entire fortune.
"Five hundred thousand, Mr. Zhou, you heard me right."
The man in the suit repeated.
"Would my brother really give us 500,000 for nothing?"
Wang Xiuhua swallowed hard, her face filled with disbelief. If she had this 500,000 yuan, she wouldn't have to worry about retirement. She could live the rest of her life without working.
"Yes, all the money is in this bank card, and the password is eight 8s."
The man in the suit simply pulled out a bank card and handed it to the two of them.
The feeling of receiving such a huge sum of money was like a dream, leaving Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua with a particularly unreal experience and a dizzy head.
Zhou Dana immediately accepted the bank card, eager to go to the bank to verify it.
That's a whopping 500,000!
Many families work their whole lives and still can't save this much money.
“Mr. Zhou, you don’t need to worry about the money here. Our boss won’t cheat you. If you can help the boss get that thing done, he said he will give you a sum of money.”
Um?
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, who were immersed in joy, were jolted awake once again upon hearing these words.
What do you need me to do?
If he can give another sum of money, given Zhou Haide's generosity, it probably won't be less than 500,000.
Thinking of this, the couple couldn't help but swallow hard, and almost simultaneously asked, "Is there anything you need us to do?"
"Help the boss find the three siblings."
The man in the suit spoke slowly.
Whoosh!
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were taken aback. They looked at each other and neither of them spoke, because this matter was extremely easy for them.
The man in the suit, unaware of what the two were thinking, continued, "The people the boss feels most sorry for are the young master and young lady. Back then, he had no choice but to abandon them. Now that he has the ability, he wants to find them and make up for what he lost back then. Mr. Zhou, you are family to the boss. The boss trusts you and believes that you can help find them. If you can accomplish this, the boss will give you another 500,000 as a reward."
Another 500,000?
really,
They weren't wrong; it really wasn't less than 500,000. Although it wasn't a million, or even more, 500,000 is still a lot.
Most importantly, they know where the three siblings are, which means he can easily complete the task and get the money.
What's the difference between this and picking up money from the ground?
It couldn't be easier.
"For some reason, the boss forgot some things, but he remembers telling you where he abandoned the young ladies and gentlemen. So, you are the ones with the highest probability of finding them."
"Mr. Zhou, would you be willing to do this favor for the boss?"
After the man in the suit finished explaining, he waited for Zhou Dana's response.
"I'm willing!" Zhou Dana had no reason to refuse. All he needed to do was find those three ingrates to get 500,000 yuan. There was no easier way to make money than that.
But Zhou Dana didn't act like he was only after money. Instead, he pretended to be sincere and said, "I'm not doing this for the money. I feel it's my responsibility. Actually, I went to look for those three children based on the clues my brother provided, but unfortunately, I couldn't find them for various reasons."
"However, now that I have no worries, I am sure I can fulfill my elder brother's wish to reunite with his children."
Zhou Dana spoke with absolute certainty and confidence.
After all, the answer was already in his heart.
Having completed the task assigned by his boss, the man in the suit did not disturb him further. He left a phone number and took his leave.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua watched the man in the suit leave with smiles.
After confirming that the other party had gone far away
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua exchanged another glance. Neither of them spoke, but they understood each other perfectly. They went back inside to make sure no one was outside and that no one would hear their whispers before they spoke.
