Chapter 48 Ambition

"Second Miss, Yisheng."

As soon as Wen Yue and Yi Huai got out of the car, Butler Xu came to meet them. She nodded slightly, greeted them and asked, "Has Wen Jiaqi's boyfriend arrived?"

Butler Xu replied, "He just arrived ten minutes ago. Liangsheng is talking to the second wife in the living room with the eldest lady."

"Daddy hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes."

Wen Yue replied, thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go see Wen Jiaqi."

Butler Xu agreed and led the two to the living room.

The living room is through the corridor of Wen Rongsheng's door. On the other side of the house, there is also a floor-to-ceiling window facing Victoria Harbour.

When Wen Yue and her friends passed by, the man in a suit standing in front of the French window was sighing: "Before coming to Hong Kong, I had heard about how beautiful the Victoria Harbour was, and I had always wanted to take a cruise to see the beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, my family was very strict, and Anan and the others were watching me, so I never had the chance to cruise the Victoria Harbour at night."

Wen Jiaqi was puzzled: "What does a night cruise have to do with a strict family?"

Wen Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Wen Jiaqi turned around and saw that it was Wen Yue. Her eyebrows wrinkled, but when she thought of the man next to her, she had a little more pride in her eyes. She took her boyfriend's hand, raised her chin and asked: "What are you laughing at?"

[Ding - there's a melon! ]

As expected, the man next to Wen Jiaqi turned around, and the system prompt in Wen Yue's mind rang.

But she was not in a hurry to eat melons, and walked into the living room and said, "If I understand correctly, your boyfriend should mean that he is going to take the Star Ferry to travel between the two sides of the strait, or spend a little more money to take a few hours of in-depth tour of Victoria Harbour."

Wen Jiaqi still didn't understand: "What is the Star Ferry?"

Wen Yue smiled and said, "It's a ferry that travels between the two sides of Victoria Harbour. You can buy a transportation ticket."

Wen Jiaqi, who had never taken a public ferry, finally understood. She frowned and looked at her boyfriend and asked, "Can't you take a yacht? Why do you want to take this kind of ship to tour Victoria Harbour?"

The man who was questioned did not show any panic on his face, and said calmly, "I have always believed that if you want to really understand a city, you have to walk into the daily life of ordinary people. If I am alone, I will feel lonely no matter how beautiful the scenery is. Having someone with me, even if it is just a stranger, can add some color to the journey."

At this point, he lowered his head and sighed helplessly, "Besides, I came to Hong Kong this time mainly to travel and relax, and to investigate the environment and consider whether to invest in the future. Renewing visa Before, it was not convenient for me to buy fixed assets like cruise ships in Hong Kong."

Seeing Wen Jiaqi's anxious face, he said affectionately: "Jiaqi, don't worry, I have arranged for someone to prepare the information for me to apply for a work visa. If everything goes well, I will not leave Hong Kong in the next three years, unless you are willing to go back with me to see my parents."

Wen Jiaqi finally felt relieved, stretched out her hand and pounded his chest, and said shyly: "Who wants to go back with you to see your parents!"

Wen Yue has been here for quite a while, but this is the first time she has heard her speak in this tone. She suddenly felt numb and trembled all over, and she felt like her head was connected.

She finally knew why Butler Xu said that three people were in the living room, but when they came, there were only two people in the back hall.

She had good reason to suspect that Chen Baoqin was seduced by these two people.

Yi Huai couldn't stand the two people talking and entering the state of Qiong Yao drama, so he lowered his voice and asked: "Should we wait here?" "

No..."

Before she finished speaking, Wen Jiaqi and her boyfriend came out of the state, pulled people to Wen Yue and introduced them: "This is my boyfriend, Liang Yicong."

Then he said to Liang Yicong, "This is my second sister Wen Yue, and my second brother-in-law Yi Huai." "

Ms. Wen, Hello, Mr. Yi." Liang Yicong said in Cantonese that was not too stiff, and extended his hand to the two.

Wen Yue shook hands with him briefly and asked, "Where are you from, Mr. Liang? You speak Cantonese very well."

"My grandfather is from Cantonese and went to Indonesia in his early years. He is an old-fashioned man and always requires us to speak Cantonese at home." Liang Yicong's answer was flawless.

"This is it."

After a few pleasantries, housekeeper Xu came over and said that Wen Rongsheng had returned and asked them to go directly to the restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Baoqin was also there, and was talking to Wen Rongsheng about Liang Yicong's situation.

Obviously, Chen Baoqin was quite satisfied with this future son-in-law.

Although there was something dirty between mother and daughter, Chen Baoqin still hoped that Wen Jiaqi could live a good life. It's just that

it's not easy to find a partner in her situation. Heirs of families as wealthy as the Wen family basically look down on Wen Jiaqi, and she doesn't want to be an heir. Not to mention the fact that her family is not as wealthy

as the Wen family, she doesn't even want to hear about it.

Although Liang Yicong is not an heir, his family is the invisible richest in the local area. As the youngest son, he is spoiled at home and can get a lot of property.

He is also capable, with several companies under his name, and he has discovered gold mines in Africa. His personal assets are not worse than many wealthy families in Hong Kong.

Although Indonesia is a bit far away, that's for ordinary people. For these rich people, wherever they want to go is just a matter of a plane ticket. Moreover, Liang Yicong said that as long as Wen Jiaqi was willing to marry him, he would be willing to move the company to Hong Kong so that she would not have to endure the pain of leaving her hometown.

Chen Baoqin felt that if Liang Yicong's background was true, he would be a perfect marriage partner for Wen Jiaqi.

Wen Rongsheng also thought so, so when he met Liang Yicong, he acted very friendly, but also a little cautious.

Although Liang Yicong's performance was also very good, his attitude was generous and his table manners were also very good, and he seemed to have grown up in a big family.

But Wen Rongsheng did not completely let down his guard, after all, table manners can be practiced. Moreover, even if he had a good family background and grew up in a good environment, it does not mean that Liang Yicong is really rich.

After all, Liang Yicong's background was all made up by himself, and it is not clear whether it is true or not.

As for his investment in the gold mine, it sounds very reliable. It is said that several rich second-generations who have a good relationship with him have received dividends for one to two months.

It sounds like this investment is very reliable.

Although there are many wealthy people in Nanyang, there are also many who take advantage of the situation when they come to Hong Kong to dig for gold.

The last wealthy person who came to Hong Kong and made friends with wealthy people in a high-profile manner was arrested in the 1980s and is still under investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

The man actually opened a company, and the stock was once booming. Seeing this, he couldn't help but be tempted and thought about whether to join in and get a share of the pie.

Fortunately, he finally chose to give up, otherwise it would be hard to say who is the richest man in Hong Kong now.

Compared with the person under investigation, Liang Yicong's routine is a bit childish, but at the same time it captures the greed of human nature very well, making people obviously nervous while willing to join the game.

Wen Rongsheng didn't plan to join Liang Yicong's game, but Liang Yicong's appearance did make him see the money prospects in Africa.

Africa is vast and rich in geological resources. He had the idea a few years ago.

However, the preliminary exploration of mining is time-consuming and laborious. In addition, the situation there is complicated, and there may be a war at any time. If the team finds out the minerals and encounters a war before mining, not to mention making money, the lives of the people sent will be lost.

So Wen Rongsheng has not taken any action.

If Liang Yicong is not lying, and there is really a gold mine in Africa, Wen Rongsheng thinks this may be an opportunity.

I just don't know whether what Liang Yicong spits out of his mouth is true or bullshit.

However, even if he is a hidden rich man, it is impossible for him to not leak any news in the local area. Whether Liang Yicong is telling the truth or not, you can find out by asking someone. Even though

Indonesia is far away, he has no business there and no acquaintances there, it is not easy to get information, and it is estimated that it will take some time.

Before this, the only way to test him was with words.

Wen Rongsheng did not keep asking about the gold mine, but only casually talked about the things he had encountered and the places he had been to in the past few years of doing business, with the focus mainly on the latter.

People who have achieved a certain scale of business cannot really stay at home.

Needless to say, Wen Rongsheng is a frequent flyer all year round. He may be in Singapore today and on a plane to Europe tomorrow.

Yi Huai's business scope is mainly in Hong Kong and the Mainland, but in addition to these two places, he has to go abroad on business trips from time to time. However, he has been there less frequently in the past few months, and all the work that could be pushed to others has been pushed to Yi Dong.

So Yi Dong returned to Hong Kong for less than half a month and began a life of flying everywhere.

According to Liang Yicong, he went to college in Canada and worked on Wall Street for two years after graduation. He must be familiar with North America. He also said that he had traveled to Europe and had a gold mine in Africa. Although he was not familiar with these places, he certainly had some understanding of them.

Table manners can be learned and family background can be boasted, but life experience is difficult to fake.

As Wen Rongsheng spoke, Liang Yicong seemed to be unable to resist and mentioned some of his experiences in the same country.

His account was not exactly the same as Wen Rongsheng's. There were some differences in customs and etiquette, but after Wen Yue asked the system, she learned that what they said was correct. There were indeed such differences in different regions of the same country.

In the face of the differences in customs described, Liang Yicong was not panicked at all. He smiled and said that it might be due to different regions. The confidence revealed in his calm attitude did not seem to be fake.

As she listened, Wen Yue was confused.

Could it be that this man was not a liar? Does he really have a gold mine that has been mined and can make a profit, and is he generous enough to let his "good friend" who just met enjoy the fruits of his labor?

Wen Yue, who was originally worried about eating melons and could not control her expression, and was planning to go back and tell him

, could not help but: [Tong, what is this melon on Liang Yicong? ] The system also has a desire to tell, and it is also very uncomfortable to have melons but not be able to say them. Hearing this, he hurriedly replied: [He is a liar! He is a Malay, not the youngest son of a wealthy Indonesian Chinese family! He does not have a gold mine! ]

Sure enough.

There is no such thing as a fool who does not make money but takes others to enjoy the fruits of his labor. There is only one reason for pie in the sky - this is not pie but a trap!

Wen Yue became even more curious. She looked at Liang Yicong who was bragging and asked, "Has he really been to so many places?"

"No, he has only been to Indonesia and Singapore. Oh, he stayed in Thailand for a while last year and cheated a lot of money." The system replied, "He hired bodyguards, stayed in five-star hotels, and cheated a lot of money in Thailand."

"Oh, he looked like he cheated a lot of money in the Gulf Islands."

Wen Yue raised her eyebrows and continued to ask, "Then why do he talk about these experiences as if they were real?" "

Because he used to work in tourism and could receive tourists from all over the world. When he led a group, he would write down the experiences that the tourists had told him, and then tell them to others when he led other groups later."

It sounds like Liang Yicong used to be very hardworking?

Wen Yue asked: [Since he had a proper job, why did he switch to fraud? ]

[He was married once, and his wife ran away six years ago because she thought he was incompetent. After the divorce, his personality changed drastically, and he wanted to make money. At that time, he cheated someone by chance and made a few tens of thousands. The other party found out and called the police. He was imprisoned for three years. After he was released, he couldn't find a job, so he started his old business again. ]

Wen Yue: [What old business does he mean? ]

[Fraud. ]

OK.

Wen Yue responded and let the system continue: [While in prison, Liang Yicong kept thinking about how he was exposed, and what he could have done to make the lie sound more real...]

​​After hearing how hard Liang Yicong worked in the tourism industry, Wen Yue thought it was a story about a social animal who was oppressed and forced to do something stupid, but it turned out that this man was a born liar! He

was still studying how to make his lies more realistic while in prison. Should she say that this man is hardworking, or should she be speechless that he has the energy to study and why not do something else? He had to go down the wrong path.

[After being released from prison, Liang Yicong deceived several people based on his experience, saved a sum of money, and then fled to Singapore. After he was safe, he summed up his experience and felt that it was still too slow to make money by cheating people. He happened to hear about Chen Qiaobai's story. 】

【Who is Chen Qiaobai? 】

【A Singaporean who came to Hong Kong after losing his job in the 1970s and opened a company to cheat people out of hundreds of millions. 】

【Wow! 】 Wen Yue asked, 【Where is Chen Qiaobai now? 】

【Still in Hong Kong. He was arrested in the early 1980s. Because the case was too complicated, the Independent Commission Against Corruption is still investigating him. According to the original plot, he should be sentenced in two years. 】

【How many years? 】

【Three years, but he was on medical parole for half of his time in prison. 】

【That means he cheated hundreds of millions in the early 1980s, but in the end he only had to spend more than a year in prison. 】

【Yes. Wen Yue thought ,

no wonder Liang Yicong regards him as an idol. The price he paid for his crime is almost nothing.

What? The system didn't say that Liang Yicong regards Chen Qiaobai as an idol? He even followed Chen Qiaobai's example and came to Hong Kong to preach. Aren't facts more powerful than oral statements?

After talking about Chen Qiaobai, the system brought the topic back: [After learning about Chen Qiaobai's experience, Liang Yicong came up with a plan. He spent more than a year learning various etiquette, understanding the deeds of celebrities, and setting up a background for himself. He went to Indonesia for this purpose and finally confirmed his identity.]

[In addition, while learning etiquette, he would spend one day a week to hire some people who had traveled abroad to tell him about their travel experiences. He also met a person who studied in Canada and a person who worked on Wall Street, and became friends with them...]

After hearing this, Wen Yue finally understood why Liang Yicong's account was different from Wen Rongsheng's, but he was not panicked at all.

Because what he said was all true, but the experiences he described were all from other people.

This guy... is really awesome!

But Wen Yue still wanted to ask, with this kind of research energy, what can't he do? Why can't he succeed? Why does he have to go all the way to a dead end?

I don't understand.

Liang Yicong's preparations were not in vain, at least Wen Rongsheng didn't notice anything wrong from the conversation.

But he is a cautious person. When Liang Yicong mentioned his gold mining business, he only talked but didn't let go. He did ask a lot about the situation in Africa.

But he has never been to Africa, so he is not sure whether what Liang Yicong said is true. But it's not a big problem. Even if he really wants to go to Africa to mine, it will not be a matter of one or two months. When the news comes back from Indonesia, he will know whether what Liang Yicong said can be trusted.

Liang Yicong certainly hopes to get Wen Rongsheng to join him, as he is the richest man in Hong Kong!

Even though Wen Rongsheng has always been in the real economy, unlike those who speculate in stocks and are called Midas Touch when they get rich, his investment intentions can often become the trend of Hong Kong's business world.

If Wen Rongsheng can join, even if he doesn't invest much money, he can use his title as the richest man to attract more people and make more money!

But Liang Yicong is not in a hurry. When he was cheating in Thailand last year, he dealt with many wealthy people.

Of course, the situations on both sides are different. The population structure of Thailand is more complicated, and he is Chinese. He didn't have much money at the time, so he couldn't use money to open the way. There were not many upper-class wealthy people he could contact, but rich people are all the same.

Ordinary people always think that the richer a person is, the more generous he is, just like those wealthy people who donate millions or tens of millions without blinking an eye.

In fact, it is completely the opposite.

Rich people are generous only to themselves. They donate so much not entirely out of kindness, but often out of consideration for interests.

Moreover, rich people have experienced a lot, and they look more friendly than others when they meet. In fact, they are very wary and are not as good as ordinary people in being deceived.

It is difficult for him, an outsider, to integrate into the group, and it is even more difficult to gain their trust and cheat them out of money!

Because of this, before deciding to come to Hong Kong, Liang Yicong decided to go to Thailand to cheat a sum of money.

With this money, he can live in a luxury hotel for a long time after coming to Hong Kong, so as to avoid the low quality of his residence and make people suspicious of his identity. Only then can he buy a racehorse with a big sum of money, get to know a rich young man in Hong Kong, squeeze into the circle that is difficult for ordinary people to enter, and maintain his identity by spending money lavishly to attract "investment".

It was an accident that Liang Yicong met Wen Jiaqi, but when he learned her identity, he quickly made up his mind to pursue her.

First of all, the daughter of the richest man must have a lot of money; secondly, if he can meet the richest man through Wen Jiaqi and get the other party's recognition, he will definitely get unexpected benefits.

Liang Yicong is a greedy person, otherwise he would not have stepped into this line.

But at the same time, he is also a very patient person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to prepare for a scam for several years.

He has enough patience to wait for Wen Rongsheng to dispel his doubts, but the middle-aged man in front of him is more vigilant than he imagined.

Don't be fooled!

Maybe Wen Rongsheng has already sent people to Indonesia to investigate him.

But it doesn't matter. He has prepared smoke bombs in advance, which should be able to confuse these rich people for a while. If it takes two months, he will have fled with a huge sum of money.

It's just that Wen Jiaqi has to hurry up.

Liang Yicong thought about it. Before leaving after dinner, he asked Wen Jiaqi if she could give him a gift. The latter naturally agreed.

Although many people think Wen Jiaqi is stupid, she is not a completely scheming person. It is impossible for her to believe everything Liang Yicong said.

During the process of dating Liang Yicong, Wen Jiaqi did not hesitate to test him, for fear that he would be unlucky and marry a fake rich man.

So far, she has not found anything wrong.

Although Liang Yicong has no property in Hong Kong, he lives in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, which costs tens of thousands a night. If he is not really rich, he would not be willing to spend so much.

When they went shopping together, he didn't even blink when he gave her money, and he spent hundreds of thousands in a few days.

To put it in an embarrassing way, although Wen Jiaqi is the daughter of the richest man, with real estate, cruise ships, and several luxury cars, she doesn't have much liquid funds on hand.

She has no job, and her income is only the regular deposit of 200,000 from the family fund. After the divorce, Wen Rongsheng would give her 100,000 pocket money every month, but she made her father angry before, so this money was stopped.

Before, Chen Baoqin would also give her 200,000 or 300,000 pocket money every month, but because of Wen Jiadong, this money has also been stopped recently.

Oh, and there is a personal fund of 100,000 every month.

So by July, Wen Jiaqi's account only had 300,000.

What can 200,000 do? She only bought a bag and it was gone!

If the Lin family had not taken back the betrothal gift given to her during the divorce and gave her a compensation, she would have been starving this month.

Wen Jiaqi felt that Liang Yicong could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on her without blinking an eye, which meant that his monthly income was at least millions, or even tens of millions.

With so much money, this man could not be a liar.

This is also the main reason why Wen Jiaqi and Liang Yicong's relationship progressed so quickly.

Of course, bringing him home for dinner was not entirely because their relationship progressed so quickly and she wanted to tie down this rich son-in-law, but she was still worried in her heart and wanted Wen Rongsheng to give her a thumbs-up.

Wen Jiaqi felt that if Liang Yicong could pass Wen Rongsheng's test, his identity should be secure.

Although she had not discussed this matter in detail with Wen Rongsheng, Wen Jiaqi felt that Liang Yicong's performance should pass the test. Didn't you see that his father's attitude changed after the meal?

It was dark, Liang Yicong naturally would not let Wen Jiaqi send him down the mountain, and the two stopped at the door.

Before getting in the car, Liang Yicong sighed and asked: "Gigi, does your father dislike me?"

Wen Jiaqi was surprised and asked: "Of course not, why do you think so?"

"I mentioned our future several times, but your dad didn't respond," Liang Yicong hugged Wen Jiaqi, "Gigi, I really like you, and I want to be with you forever!"

"How can you be like this..." Wen Jiaqi turned away shyly, remembering something and said, "You haven't even got a visa, and you're not sure whether you will stay in Hong Kong for a long time in the future. Now you are talking about this..."

"You mean, as long as I get my visa, you will agree to me?" Liang Yicong put his hand on Wen Jiaqi's shoulder, lowered his head slightly, looked into her eyes and asked, "How about we go house hunting in the next few days? I used to feel that I didn't know how long I would stay in Hong Kong, and I could live anywhere, but now for you, I want to stay."

He hugged Wen Jiaqi again, looking into the future and said, "Once we have decided on a house, the visa should also be available. By then, we will take some time and I will take you back to Indonesia to meet my family. What do you think?"

"I don't want to think that far!" Wen Jiaqi snorted, pushed Liang Yicong away, and when he was about to go forward to hug her again, she said, "Oh, you go back first, I have to go home too."

After saying that, she turned around and walked back. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back. After meeting Liang Yicong's eyes, she smiled shyly, turned around and ran into the yard.

As soon as Wen Jiaqi returned to the living room, she was stopped by Chen Baoqin, who asked softly, "What did Yicong say to you?"

"Nothing, he just said he liked me very much. He had never thought about staying in Hong Kong before, but he planned to look at houses for me. He also said that he would take me back to Indonesia to meet his parents after the work visa was issued."

"To buy a house." Chen Baoqin thought and asked, "How big a house does he plan to buy?"

"Of course the bigger the better." Wen Jiaqi said, "His family is the richest, with a large family and a big business. He is also doing well in his career. Of course, he can't live in a small house. Well, I know how to consider these things myself, don't worry about it. Where is Daddy?"

Chen Baoqin said, "He is talking to A Yue and his wife in the study."

"I'll go take a look."

Wen Jiaqi went to the study room, opened the door and heard people talking about the gold mine. She hurried in and asked, "Daddy, are you going to invest in Cong's gold mine?"

Seeing her come in without saying hello, Wen Rongsheng frowned and said, "Just considering it."

"What else is there to consider? Cong's gold mining work has been completed a long time ago. Now you can get a share of the money by investing. The third child of the Li family invested one million last month and received a dividend of 100,000 this month!" Wen Jiaqi said, "You are my daddy, Cong would invite you to invest. If it were an ordinary person, he might not be willing to take you there even if you begged him."

Wen Rongsheng felt something was wrong and asked, "You won't invest too, will you?"

"I haven't yet, but it's not because I don't think highly of this project. It's because A Cong doesn't want my money." Wen Jiaqi said proudly, "A Cong said that if I want to join this project, he will give me shares for free, without asking for money."

Then she looked at Wen Yue and deliberately said, "Although my relationship with you is not good, for the sake of being sisters, if you want to invest, I can reluctantly help you and A Cong to plead for you."

Wen Yue smiled slightly, and said, "I am a person who can't make easy money. You should find someone else."

"If you don't want to invest, then forget it. I don't want to give you such a good opportunity," Wen Jiaqi snorted coldly, and repeated what she had just said to Chen Baoqin in front of the three of them.

Although Wen Rongsheng did not find any problems from Liang Yicong's speech and behavior, he did not want Wen Jiaqi to take his relationship with him any further before the investigation results came out. He said, "If he wants to buy a house, let him go and see it by himself. You are just dating, not married. What's the point of you going to see a house with him?"

Wen Jiaqi thought Wen Rongsheng would support her, but when she heard this, her face fell, "Why is it inappropriate? He is going to buy a house in Hong Kong for me, and we are going to live together in the future. I和他一起去看有什麽問題？”

想到溫榮生不給她機會競争繼承人就算了，連零花錢都不給她，溫嘉琪心裏委屈得不行，大聲說：“我知道你只喜歡溫月，一直都看不上我，所以我做什麽你都覺得不行！以前我都聽你的，但我告訴你，這次你反對也沒有用，我一定要和阿聰一起去看屋！以後我還會和他結婚，讓你知道沒有你我也能過得很好！”

“你！”溫榮生氣得從沙發上站了起來，指着溫嘉琪就要繞過茶幾。

溫嘉琪放話的時候氣勢挺足，說完見溫榮生發火又有點慫，怕他真的動手揍自己，重重地哼了一聲就轉身跑了。

Wen Rongsheng didn't catch anyone, so angry that he bent over and slapped the tea table: "Unfilial daughter!" Thinking of what she said, he couldn't help but curse, "Stupid!"

Wen Yuesi, who watched the big show for free, had no sympathy for Wen Rongsheng, and even gloated: "No matter how unfilial and stupid she is, you gave birth to her and raised her."

She deserved it!
