After attending the flood relief and rescue report meeting and the awarding of medals to meritorious individuals, Mr. Lin personally called to express his gratitude to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong picked up the phone and said politely, "Mr. Lin, taking on social responsibility is what every Chinese citizen should do."
"I personally participated in the flood relief efforts back then, but it was only out of pity for the affected residents. Now that the floods in the country are under control, I am relieved."
Old Lin chuckled and said, “You are a great hero in the fight against the floods. Although you specifically told me to keep a low profile, I have seen everything you have done for the mainland. If you need any help in the future, just ask.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled slyly, "Is that so?"
"I do have a favor to ask of you, Elder Lin."
Hearing the seriousness in his tone, Old Lin thought it was something important and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm getting married next month, and I would be very grateful if Mr. Lin could attend my wedding."
Old Lin was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing, "You rascal! You've finally come to your senses and want to settle down?!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely attend Chen Dong's wedding!"
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chen Dong hurriedly hung up the phone.
On October 1, Chen Dong married Julia, Zhou Huimin, and Anne in Victoria Harbour.
The entire wedding venue was decorated in a warm and romantic style. Looking at the red and white balloons filling the sky, Vivian Chow hugged Chen Dong and said without any regard for her image, "It's so beautiful. I really want to marry you again."
The audience looked at the newlyweds on stage, their faces beaming with happiness.
In October in Hong Kong, Soros left the city in disgrace, with only his remaining chips in hand.
At the end of 1999, Chen Dong, disregarding the strong demands and opposition from Longteng's senior management, withdrew all of Longteng's assets from the internet.
In 2000, the internet crisis erupted.
On June 26 of the same year, Chen Dong welcomed the birth of his first child. He and the child's mother named their first daughter Chen Kexin.
On September 19, Chen Dong received an invitation to the military parade from his superiors. Just as he was so excited that he couldn't tell which way was which, Chen Dong noticed two slips of paper underneath the invitation box.
He picked it up and looked at it closely. He saw that it was written in traditional Chinese characters for "pregnancy checkup form". The names on the forms were Yulia on one and Anne on the other.
He turned around and saw two women looking at him with happy expressions.
"You two are pregnant?" Chen Dong leaned in cautiously, incredulous. "Really?"
"Now I'm a father of three!"
Zhou Huimin, holding her youngest daughter, happily congratulated Yulia and Annie, while Chen Dong childishly put his ear close to their bellies, asking, "Let Daddy listen, is this a boy or a girl?"
Yulia playfully pushed him away, feigning disgust. "You can even tell if it's a man or a woman?"
Just then, the sound of a car came from outside the door, and several servants came in carrying a pile of pots, pans, and ingredients.
The noisy commotion instantly ruined the originally quiet and warm scene.
Chen Nan followed behind in a flurry of activity, saying, "Be careful carrying these things, don't break them."
Chen Dong looked distressed. "Sis, what are you doing here?"
"Don't you now have two pregnant women? This is a crucial time, and you don't know how to take care of people, so of course I have to keep an eye on things!"
Chen Dong sighed, looking helplessly at the three women, "I'm truly happy..."
