Zhao Dong had only heard of Xie Jinghu's name but had never seen Xie Jinghu in person.
Xie Jinghu was afraid of attracting attention because of his status as a big person, so he never accepted public interviews. However, in this matter, he was quite considerate of the Xie family.
A large part of the reason why Zhao Dong knew about the Xie family's background was because Jiang Youjia was a big mouth, and the remaining small part was because Zhao Dong himself was scheming and would not miss any opportunity that was presented to him.
Zhao Dong was allowed to go upstairs to meet Mr. Xie. He had been thinking about what to say to Mr. Xie the whole time. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xie was more amiable than rumored. Zhao Dong explained his purpose, and Xie Jinghu said it was a trivial matter:
"He's just a kid, why should he be offended? I don't want him to be treated specially outside. Mr. Zhao has a sister the same age as Xie Qian and he's from abroad. His educational philosophy should be ahead of the average person. I think he can understand Xie's feelings."
Xie Jinghu's words were so high-sounding that Zhao Dong found it increasingly difficult to grasp Xie Jinghu's thoughts.
There is a clear class division in foreign countries. If rich people teach their children to be kind and let their children get along with children of ordinary people, they are out of their minds.
Zhao Dong suspected that Xie Jinghu was speaking in a sarcastic way, but he still apologized again and again. Finally, Xie Jinghu became a little impatient, and Zhao Dong began to believe that Xie Jinghu was telling the truth - the Xie family's education was really unique. Zhao Dong immediately realized that his opportunity had come.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, for your generosity! I really don't know what to say. I was judging you by my own standards!"
Xie Jinghu turned down a meeting and carefully asked about Zhao Dong's industries in Chengdu. He was quite satisfied to confirm that Zhao Dong was running Chengdu as his base camp.
"There's no need to apologize. There's an old Chinese saying: 'No friendship without fighting.' If it weren't for this misunderstanding, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet such a promising young talent like Mr. Zhao."
After some business exchanging, Xie Jinghu even hinted to Zhao Dong that there was a chance for both parties to cooperate.
Zhao Dong is in the cultural tourism industry. Xie Jinghu has a company under his name. He does not manage it personally on a daily basis, but he is engaged in related business. He has signed famous directors in the Beijing circle and has also got several famous actors to act. Although it is not conspicuous, it is indeed a profitable business.
Xie Jinghu also gave Zhao Dong some advice. If he wanted to develop the cultural and tourism industry, Chengdu's foundation was still weak. If Zhao Dong had the courage, he could choose Beijing and Shanghai as cities to expand his business.
The two major cities, one in the south and one in the north, are important political and economic centers in China, and will provide policy support for the cultural and tourism industries.
Culture and tourism should be separated, with culture being developed separately. By using the cultural industry to build connections, reputation and influence, various tourism approvals will be much easier.
Zhao Dong's heart was aroused by Xie Jinghu's few words.
This is why Zhao Dong encountered obstacles everywhere after returning to China with his capital.
It won’t work if we copy the foreign system back to China!
Through Jiang Youjia's relationship, Zhao Dong visited Jiang Xuekun, and Jiang Xuekun gave Zhao Dong some advice, but not as clearly as Xie Jinghu said.
Now that I think about it, maybe Jiang Xuekun was keeping it to himself, or maybe Jiang Xuekun’s own level was not high enough.
Xie Jinghu's words further strengthened Zhao Dong's determination to get close to the Xie family.
It’s nice to lean against a big tree for shade, and the Xie family is the big tree Zhao Dong has chosen.
Seeing that the situation was heating up, Xie Jinghu brought the topic back to Xie Qian. "My son has been doted on by our family since he was young. He has never suffered any grievances. It's difficult for him to change his mind about people he doesn't like. Mr. Zhao doesn't have to accommodate him in every way. The Xie family doesn't support him seeking privileges outside!"
Zhao Dong pondered these words carefully and finally realized that something was wrong.
Why does it sound like he is being encouraged to offend Xie Qian?
Isn’t it said that Xie Qian is Mr. Xie’s only son and the most favored young man in the Xie family?
After Zhao Dong left Xie Jinghu's company, he did not return to Chengdu immediately. He decided to stay in Beijing and find out more about the Xie family.
This was a big discovery, as Zhao Dong found out that Xie Jinghu was having an extramarital affair.
This matter was not a big secret in the capital. The Xie family suppressed the news, but Xie Jinghu had previously placed his lover and illegitimate children in the capital, and they would eventually be discovered by someone over time.
Old Mrs. Xie still wanted to maintain the reputation of the Xie family, but she didn't know about the rumors outside that the son born to Xie Jinghu and his lover was older than Xie Qian!
Only when the father is kind can the son be filial.
If Xie Jinghu acts like this, there is no way the relationship between father and son can be harmonious.
It turns out that it wasn't my illusion.
Zhao Dong finally found a crack to pry open the Xie family's door. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep and flew back to Chengdu overnight.
Zhao Qian thought she could get into a key provincial school, but Zhao Dong wanted to send her to Beijing to attend the high school he had chosen before.
"elder brother?!"
Zhao Qian didn't understand.
Zhao Dong suppressed his excitement. "Be good and listen to me. When has your brother ever hurt you? More haste, less speed. Have you forgotten what I said? The more precious something you want, the greater the price you have to pay. You don't need Xie Qian to remember you now. All he remembers is his bad impression of you. You need to make Xie Qian forget you. Time will fade his bad impression of you."
How can that be?
Xie Qian studied in high school in Chengdu for three years, so Wen Ying must have been the first to get the upper hand because of her proximity to him. By then, it would be useless to change the bad impression she had made!
Zhao Dong smiled inscrutablely: "Those who rush into battle and do all kinds of bad things are fools. What are you worried about? I have my own arrangements."
Zhao Qian was skeptical, but Zhao Dong refused to elaborate.
After sending Zhao Qian away, Zhao Dong finally remembered the chess piece he had almost abandoned midway and called Cai Youlun:
"Is Shu Guobing still imprisoned?"
"He's still incarcerated. Whether he'll go to jail or not depends on whether you want to help him."
Cai Youlun was flattering him.
Zhao Dong had already inquired about it and knew that Shu Guobing had made a false accusation, which was not enough to constitute a frame-up.
After all, Wen Dongrong really bought two houses in Chengdu. People who don’t know the inside story can easily misunderstand and associate it with corruption and bribery.
Shu Guobing wrote the letter of complaint because he had misunderstood.
The biggest evidence in the report letter is these two houses. Apart from these two houses, the rest is Shu Guobing's nonsense. Shu Guobing does not have the ability to fabricate false evidence to frame Wen Dongrong.
If you are detained for a period of time, you cannot escape and the possibility of going to jail is not high.
"Don't let him out so soon. Arrange something this weekend and bring Shu Guobing's daughter to see me."
Zhao Dong’s words surprised Cai Youlun.
At the beginning, Zhao Dong wanted to hide behind the scenes and let Cai Youlun come forward to "promote" Shu Guobing.
If Zhao Dong wants to meet Shu Guobing's daughter, isn't that exposing himself?
Cai Youlun was very curious about what happened that made Zhao Dong act so openly.
…
Shulu didn't know that she would be taken to meet the real big boss this weekend.
Under Wen Dongrong's threat, Shu Lu went to school trembling with fear.
Her own father was taken away by the police at the school gate. Shu Lu was afraid of being laughed at by her new classmates, so she didn't dare to get close to Wen Ying during the first week of school.
Friday came in a blink of an eye. Wen Ying asked Xie Qian if he had decided what to eat. Xie Qian thought about it and asked Wen Ying if it was possible to change the simple dinner invitation to a trip + dinner.
"Where is there anything fun to do in Chengdu? You're a local, so take me out for a day."
