It was December of 1997, and the weather in Beijing was getting colder. New Year's Day of 1998 was approaching, and Sun Yuqi suddenly received a call from Lin Muran, who told her something: Zhong Wenrui had returned to China to prepare for investment.
When she suddenly heard Zhong Wenrui's name, Sun Yuqi was stunned for a long time before she remembered who Zhong Wenrui Lin Muren was talking about. However, Sun Yuqi didn't think there was anything to say.
"It's his business if he comes back to invest. Why would he tell me?"
Lin Muren said earnestly on the other end of the phone.
"Sister, don't you think about it? Although our company is doing well, the Zhong Group is a behemoth. They have investments in many foreign countries. This time they returned to invest in China, firstly because the situation in our country is relatively good, and the other reason is because of you. He told me a few days ago that he will give you a portion of the shares of his investment in China, which means that you will naturally get half of the profits from every project he invests in."
Sun Yuqi frowned upon hearing this. "I can't possibly accept this. No matter who invests, it has nothing to do with me. I'm only collecting my share of the dividends. I won't take a cent from anyone else. You should know that."
Lin Muren said helplessly, "But sister, Zhong Wenrui said that if I can't persuade you, then the funding chain of our two upcoming projects will be cut off. What do you think I should do?"
Sun Yuqi was speechless after hearing this. Is there anyone in this world who is so obsessed with giving money away? After thinking for a while, she said, "You should keep him calm first! When I have a holiday, I will go to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to meet him and see what he is going to do."
Lin Muren said helplessly, "Sun Yuqi, let me tell you, this matter has basically been decided. You can say that, just accept it. Who is as stupid as you? Such a huge income, and it is a sustainable income, why would you refuse it just for the sake of face?"
Lin Muran hung up the phone right after he finished speaking. Sun Yuqi sighed helplessly. She knew that the guy surnamed Zhong would definitely not give up. He had taken Shen Qingrou away a few years ago, and now he was doing this to her. If she didn't accept it, the company's two projects would immediately lose their funding chain. If she accepted it, what was the point of her persistence all these years? Wasn't it just to avoid contact with them and live in peace? But now that Lin Muran had given her such a difficult problem, the more Sun Yuqi thought about it, the more depressed she felt.
When the two brothers Mu Qingzhuo and Mu Qingzhou returned home from school, they saw their mother sitting there in a daze. They walked over to Sun Yuqi and asked, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"
Sun Yuqi came back to her senses and glared at Mu Qingzhuo, "Go do your homework, don't ask around here."
After saying that, he got up and went to the kitchen to cook for the two children. By the way, he looked at the time and found that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the two old people had not come back yet. After thinking about it, he felt a little worried, so he said something to the two brothers who were doing homework in the house and went out.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I met my grandparents who had just returned.
"Grandpa and grandma, where have you been? I was so worried."
Grandpa Mu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to see your Grandpa Lan? His health is not very good. Alas, he probably only has ten days or half a month left!"
Sun Yuqi heard the loneliness in Grandpa Mu's words. Grandpa Lan is now nearly ninety years old. The policy changed in the past few years, and Grandpa Lan's children have all returned from abroad. Fortunately, he has lived a happy old age.
Grandma Mu said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? We should be content to have lived to this age. Both of our grandsons are successful, and our great-grandson is a good and obedient child. What is there to be dissatisfied about? We just need to live each day to the fullest."
Sun Yuqi didn't say anything, but listened to the conversation between the two elderly people as she walked towards her home. After a few steps, Grandpa Mu said, "Yuqi, your uncle and aunt called today and said they are about to retire. I guess there will be news before the New Year. If the organization approves, you won't have to go to work after the New Year. Then your grandmother and I will move back home. Your uncle and aunt will take care of us, and you can relax a little."
Sun Yuqi nodded. "Well, I understand, Grandpa. Actually, it's quite good for you and Grandma to live here. It's more lively at home. Jingran is still working in another city, and we don't know when he will be transferred back to Beijing. It's still a little too quiet here."
Grandpa Mu nodded and said, "It was because of this that your grandmother and I thought about coming here to live. But now that your uncle and aunt have retired and are at home, it's time for them to take care of us two old people. We can't let our grandchildren and their wives serve us while our son is still around!"
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day in 1998. The school was on vacation, and the retirement reports of my uncle Mu Yuanhe and aunt Qu Wenting came in. They retired before the New Year, and they moved out of the military compound and moved into Grandpa Mu's small courtyard to live and take care of the two elderly people.
Sun Yuqi's home was completely quiet. Except for Saturdays and Sundays, there was no one at home on weekdays. This made Zhong Wenrui, who came to look for Sun Yuqi in person, come back empty-handed several times. Finally, he found Sun Yuqi at the school.
Sun Yuqi looked at the gossipy expressions of the principal and vice principal in the office and explained helplessly.
"Although I really don't want to admit it, he is indeed my half-brother. His name is Zhong Wenrui. He came back from the United States to invest in our country's development."
"I can testify to that."
Liu Jingjing said as she walked in from outside.
"What are you all thinking about? When has our Director Sun ever done anything out of line?"
The school principal Xiao Yitong laughed awkwardly.
"No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding, we are just a little curious, oh yes, just curious."
After saying that, he immediately walked out of the office, but after taking a few steps, he stopped and looked at the nameplate on the office door.
"This is my office, why am I out? Seriously, get back to work!"
Principal Xiao's funny performance immediately made several vice principals, Sun Yuqi and others burst into laughter.
Sun Yuqi left the office and headed towards the school gate, but in her heart she was complaining about Zhong Wenrui: Who is this person? Why did he find his way to the school? He made others misunderstand me.
When she arrived at the gate, she did not see Zhong Wenrui, but there was a car parked at the school gate. Sun Yuqi just took a look and turned around to enter the school gate, then she heard Zhong Wenrui's voice.
"Sister, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
