"Oh? I didn't expect that you are from the same hometown as me, Ms. Wei." The deputy governor is also from the province of Fujian. He was immediately happy when he heard it, and felt that there was hope for investment.
"That's right, I left the country when I was 66." Wei Qingyin sighed when she mentioned this.
Who could have imagined that this journey would leave so many people behind?
The deputy governor thought Wei Qingyin was just from the northern province, but he never imagined that she had lived on this land.
But thinking about it, it seems normal. If Ms. Wei had not left and stayed in China, she would not have been able to build such a big family business.
Even though China's reform and opening up has been going on for nearly a decade, it is still impossible for such wealthy individual businessmen to emerge due to the overall environment and relevant policy constraints.
"Then why did Ms. Wei come back this time?"
"When I left, my wife and daughter were still in the province. I came back this time to find them."
The reason is to look for relatives. In recent days, there are many overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen looking for relatives.
Upon hearing this, the vice governor looked at other staff members, especially the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office.
"Whatever Madam Wei's needs are, you must do your best to cooperate and satisfy them."
There was a chorus of “yes” in response.
After saying this, the deputy governor asked which family Wei Qingyin came from.
He was from the southern province, so maybe he knew something about the person Wei Qingyin mentioned.
Wei Qingyin came back this time just to find the whereabouts of her family members. Even if it was just remains, she would not hide it.
"My husband's surname is Zhong. They used to be a well-known scholarly family in our province. My husband's name is Zhong Huaimin."
"I think I've heard of the Zhong family, a family of scholars." The deputy governor showed a look of reminiscence.
"Really?" Wei Qingyin became a little excited.
It seemed that it was when he was sent down to a farm in the countryside of Hebei Province that he remembered hearing someone around him mention the Zhong family in Hebei Province.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Wei, I can't recall the specific details."
Although feeling a little regretful, Wei Qingyin regained her composure.
"It doesn't matter."
The vice governor wanted to invite Wei Qingyin to dinner, but Wei Qingyin was anxious to find her relatives and just said she would do it another day.
Wei Qingyin also revealed the location and address of the Zhong family's old house.
The change of deputy governor this time is a bit awkward.
Because he actually knew the Zhong family's old house.
It was a very nice villa with three floors.
It is now an office space of the government.
He only heard that this building was taken over by the government because it had no owner.
I didn't expect that the owner of the company is still alive, and now it is their provincial government that is trying hard to attract investors.
The deputy governor and many members of the leadership team are looking forward to Wei Qingyin and Wei's Investment to bring more investment to the province. How could the deputy governor dare to hide the news about the Zhong family's old house?
He explained the situation as tactfully as possible.
"I'm so sorry, Ms. Wei. I don't know the specific situation at the time. I don't know how the government misunderstood that the house was ownerless and requisitioned it for office use. If you can prove that it is your house, we can actually change the office location and return the house to you."
If he were an ordinary citizen, he might not dare to say this.
But this is a big investor.
The house is someone else's home anyway, isn't it just a change of office location? They can just move.
Upon hearing that it was ownerless property, even though she had already heard the bad news, Wei Qingyin's face turned pale. "Could it be that they really don't care anymore?"
The deputy governor was not stupid either, and he quickly understood the reason for Wei Qingyin's unhappy expression.
On the one hand, he quickly ordered the staff to check the household registration information of the Zhong family to see if they could find out their whereabouts. Even if they were dead, they had to find out where they were buried.
On the other hand, at Wei Qingyin's request, he personally accompanied her to the Zhong family's old house.
Later, Wei Qingyin refused to have dinner together, so the vice governor didn't plan to continue accompanying her. He thought that it would be enough to have staff accompanying her, and he would show up when Wei Qingyin finished important things and discussed investment.
But now that he knew that the government had used someone else's old house for office work, he was afraid that Wei Qingyin would be unhappy and stop investing, so he could only accompany her cautiously.
When several cars drove out of the hotel, some pedestrians on the road were quite surprised to see so many cars traveling together.
"Is this some important leader coming?"
The convoy stopped in front of the Zhong family's old house.
Wei Qingyin got out of the car and looked at her former home, tears streaming down her face.
"Madam." The female assistant handed over a handkerchief.
Wiping away her tears, Wei Qingyin choked up and said, "I'm not angry. I'm just a little excited to finally be home. Let's go in."
The deputy provincial governor and other government staff who came with him did not dare to speak at this critical moment.
The office staff inside received a call not long ago saying that the vice governor would be visiting with an important guest, so they cleaned up in a panic early in the morning.
At this moment, someone also ran out quickly.
But before he could say anything, the vice governor waved aside.
A group of people walked into the room.
From the first floor to the third floor, every floor and every room, Wei Qingyin personally checked it.
The furnishings in this room were completely different from what she remembered.
But wherever she looked, scenes from the past would appear before her eyes.
Unconsciously, tears began to fall again.
Huaimin, Hongdou, I'm sorry, I came back too late.
Next door is an important office, which was also the Zhong family's former study.
In front of everyone, Wei Qingyin opened a mechanism on the wall without anyone noticing anything unusual, revealing a hole in the wall.
There is a safe in the cave.
The safe had a password. Wei Qingyin tried the secret code from her memory and the safe opened.
The people following behind were already stunned.
There were gold bars, silver dollars, and some foreign currency cash in the safe, but Wei Qingyin didn't look at those things. She took out a photo.
Looking at the photo, she cried even harder.
The photo shows a family portrait of three of them.
While she was crying, no one behind her spoke.
Some people looked at the gold, silver and foreign currency in the safe with drooling eyes.
Especially for those who work in this office building, some people have been frustrated why they didn't know there was another world here.
If you know this, maybe you can secretly take it away and make a fortune.
After crying for a while, Wei Qingyin pulled out a piece of paper from something similar to something underneath.
She handed the paper directly to the vice governor.
"This is the deed to our Zhong family's house. The holder is my husband, Zhong Huaimin, and I am his legal wife. We also registered our marriage in China. Does this prove that this is our house?"
The deputy governor had no intention of saying no and nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, of course. Ms. Wei, I can't kick out all the staff in the building right away. There are still some office supplies, archives, and other things that need to be sorted and moved. Give us a few days, and we'll vacate the house quickly."
Since he had agreed, Wei Qingyin was not one to be unreasonable and nodded. "Thank you."
It was clearly their house, but they returned it to her as the owner and even said thank you. It sounded a bit ironic.
But everyone knows that if Wei Qingyin was not an ordinary person, the house might not be returned smoothly, and at such a fast speed.
Over there, the person who was sent to check the Zhong family's household registration information also found the staff of the Household Registration Office.
