No wonder he looked somewhat familiar when she looked at him earlier.
This is a younger version of Mr. Yan Pengfei!
Who is Mr. Yan Pengfei?
He was a pioneer of reform and opening up!
He is the creator of the Nanshan Bay spirit!
He is also the creator of many famous reform quotes in Shenzhen!
For example: Time is money, efficiency is life!
Empty talk harms the country, while hard work builds it!
Keep moving forward, and don't look back!
There are many more famous quotes he said, but unfortunately, only a few of them are deeply etched in Shen Yu's mind.
There are documentaries and TV series about Master Yan in later generations, and Shen Yu has watched them all.
She especially loved the TV series based on Yan Lao's life; it was very well-made, and she watched it twice.
When Shen Yu watched the documentaries and TV series about Mr. Yan, she was truly moved by the faith and beliefs of the older generation, as well as their courageous, fearless and selfless spirit.
Some people in later generations have said that without Mr. Yan's daring and enterprising spirit, without his unwavering persistence in forging a path through adversity, and without his boldness and decisiveness, the Nanshan Bay Industrial Zone, as a testing ground for reform and opening up, might not have existed.
Shen Yu saw his photos in many news reports in later generations, but those photos showed him in his twilight years.
Mr. Yan, who is still middle-aged, is quite handsome. His square face is adorned with a cheerful and open-minded smile, which makes people feel good about him.
Shen Yu quickly wiped her hands before daring to shake hands with Mr. Yan. "Mr. Yan, hello! I really didn't expect you to come looking for me. Please come inside and have a seat!"
Yan Pengfei glanced at Shen Yu's stall cart and asked her with a smile, "Did I interrupt your work?"
Shen Yu smiled and said, "You are an honored guest, it is such a rare occasion for you to grace my humble abode with your presence. Even if I were not setting up my stall today, I would still have to make sure you are well received first."
Yan Pengfei laughed heartily and said, "Comrade Shen Yu, you really know how to talk! You've made me so happy!"
Shen Yu smiled and gestured slightly, "Mr. Yan, Comrade Ming, please come in!"
Yan Pengfei and Ming Yannian followed Shen Yu into her home.
As they looked around Shen Yu's not-so-spacious house, the image of the wealthy woman who lived in a luxurious villa on the hillside in Hong Kong came to mind.
Who would have thought that the young woman in front of them, who was living in dire poverty and had to make a living by setting up a stall, would actually be the beloved daughter that the wealthy woman from the port city had been searching for!
However, her good days are just around the corner!
The reform and opening up, which opened the country's doors, has allowed many relatives and friends who have been separated for many years to reunite. This is a great thing and deserves celebration.
Shen Yu said to them apologetically, "Mr. Yan, Comrade Ming, my humble abode is simple and unadorned. Please forgive me."
Yan Pengfei smiled and replied, "This is already quite good. When we first started in the industrial zone, we lived in shacks."
While watching Mr. Yan's documentary, Shen Yu learned that when they first started developing the industrial zone, the conditions were very difficult and the process was very challenging.
After they were all seated in the small living room, Shenyu brewed them a pot of fine tea.
After taking a sip, Yan Pengfei's mouth was filled with fragrance, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Good tea!"
Shen Yu smiled and said, "If Mr. Yan likes it, I'll take some back with me later."
Yan Pengfei quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, I'll just have my drink here. I can't take your things, you can't make me make a mistake!"
Hearing him say that, Shen Yu had no choice but to give up.
Then, she went straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Yan, is there something you two need from me?"
Yan Pengfei put down his teacup and then said to her earnestly, "Comrade Shen, it's like this. When we went to Gangcheng to attract investment, we met a lady named Qiao Shuhui, who is fifty years old this year."
Shen Yu's heart stirred; she was very familiar with this name.
The original owner's mother was named Qiao Shuhui, and she was also fifty years old this year.
Yan Pengfei saw the surprise on Shen Yu's face and continued, "Ms. Qiao's hometown is Guangzhou, and she used to be a professor at a university in the provincial capital."
"According to her, she secretly went to Hong Kong many years ago, leaving a daughter in mainland China, but they have not been in contact for many years. Her daughter's name is Shen Yu. I wonder if it is you?"
Finally, Yan Pengfei took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it to Shen Yu.
"Comrade Shen, look, isn't this your mother?"
Shen Yu took a look and saw that the middle-aged woman in the photo was very elegant and beautiful. Although she was already fifty years old, she looked like she was in her thirties and looked very young.
She held a glass of red wine in one hand and crossed her arms over her chest, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the tall building, looking down at the world outside.
Despite her elegance and beauty, her entire being seemed to speak of her loneliness and solitude.
Upon seeing that familiar figure, Shen Yu's heart trembled violently.
This Ms. Qiao Shuhui's facial expression and posture are just like her modern-day mother!
Shen Yu also learned from the original owner's memories that this Ms. Qiao Shuhui, judging from her appearance, was the original owner's biological mother!
"She is indeed my biological mother."
Shen Yu said this to Yan Pengfei and Ming Yannian with certainty.
Yan Pengfei asked her, "Do you have any photos or anything that proves you and Ms. Qiao?"
Shen Yu nodded. "Yes! Please wait a moment while I go inside to look for the photos."
"Okay." Yan Pengfei nodded.
Shen Yu went into the inner room, opened a drawer, took out a photo album she had always kept, and found two photos of her with her parents and the three of them together.
She handed the two photos to Yan Pengfei and Ming Yannian, saying, "Mr. Yan, Comrade Ming, the lady in these two photos is my mother. Take a look, isn't this Ms. Qiao Shuhui?"
After looking at the two photos, Yan Pengfei and Ming Yannian both confirmed, "That's right, this is Ms. Qiao Shuhui."
Yan Pengfei smiled and said to Shen Yu, "Comrade Shen Yu, it seems we haven't looked for the wrong person. You are the biological daughter that Ms. Qiao Shuhui has been looking for!"
“When I went to Gangcheng to attract investment, Ms. Qiao asked me to help her find someone. I finally found you this time, and I have finally lived up to her expectations.”
With concern, Shen Yu asked, "Mr. Yan, is my mother doing well in Hong Kong?"
Yan Pengfei smiled and said, "Your mother is doing very well now. The Qiao Group she founded is very famous in Hong Kong and has very strong financial resources and strength. She is an important target for our Overseas Chinese Affairs Bureau to attract investment."
At this point, Yan Pengfei sighed softly, "We really hope that your mother can return to China to invest. However, because of what happened during the turbulent years in the past, your mother still has concerns. She has put forward two conditions to us, saying that she will only be willing to return to China to invest if these two conditions are met."
Shen Yu asked urgently, "What are the conditions?"
