Zhang Ningxi naturally didn't care about the so-called "childhood marriage" that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but Si Mingyu also wanted to express his attitude towards her in his own way. Although this expression was a bit too intense, at least the person involved was very satisfied.
Ding, the new email notification sound rang.
What just arrived in my mailbox was the investigation data about He Maochang and three other companies.
Hong Kong has a number of private detective agencies, and these four are considered well-known families, so it took only a few hours for their information to be sent to us. Of course, the private detective agencies will continue to conduct in-depth investigations.
Although if he told the company about this matter, his ancestors for three generations could be investigated thoroughly, how could he have the nerve to approach the company about such a thing? If Jiang Xueyi or Luo Jinghui knew about it, they would definitely call and make fun of him.
The He family is in the real estate business, and the company's market value is more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. He Maochang has three sons, and He Mengni is the daughter of his third son.
The old man in his sixties is called Quan Zhiman. He works in the retail industry and his company has a market value of more than 4 billion yuan.
The other two elderly men were An Guangtian, who worked in finance and had a company valued at over 3 billion yuan, and Zhang Guangdun, who made furniture and had a company valued at over 4 billion yuan.
In fact, Si Mingyu became suspicious when He Maochang first mentioned this matter.
He believed that the four of them were his grandmother's former business partners, but the term "business partner" was too broad.
A certain failed author once said that he had participated in the business worth hundreds of billions of yuan on Taobao's Double Eleven, but now he is still poor and has to eat dirt.
But it is absolutely impossible to say that grandma has ever agreed to a marriage with the He family, even verbally.
After paying taxes and fees, the assets of "Xiangjiang Hongming Industrial" handed over to Si Mingyu were more than 80 billion yuan. The He family's company was a listed company with a market value of more than 5 billion. How could such an incompatible marriage be possible?
If this story was made up by someone whose family assets amount to 60 to 70 billion, it would be more credible.
Judging from He Mengni's information, she is just an ordinary rich girl from Hong Kong. She is currently studying in a private school in the Daying Empire. Her academic performance is very average and she has not shown any outstanding qualities. Her appearance is only 7.5 points. Even if she said that she was attracted by people, no one would believe it.
The best way, of course, is to find out what grandma said at the party, but this is basically impossible. If there are any video or text records, He Maochang will immediately produce them as evidence to show him.
But what could have happened that could have allowed these four families to work together to deceive him? Not even willing to sacrifice the He family's reputation and He Mengni's reputation, it was truly puzzling.
This matter can only wait for the reply from the private detective agency, but he believes it will be quick. After all, a high reward will surely lead to high efficiency.
The next day, just as Si Mingyu and Zhang Ningxi were about to go out, they received several messages, one from the general manager of Dongya Mingyu Hongming Industrial, one from Chen Weirong of China Trust Company, and one from Lu David of China Trust Bank's Hong Kong branch.
All these news mentioned one thing, that is, many tabloids published the story about him and He Mengni from the He family today, and sent photos from the newspapers.
After encountering this incident, the two of them didn't need to go out to play. They arranged for someone to go to the newsstand to buy relevant newspapers and read the news in the hotel.
I went around the newsstands around the hotel and bought over a dozen different newspapers, all of which covered the story. Of course, there were probably many more I missed, as many tabloids have small circulations and it's impossible to stock them at every newsstand.
The content is also varied, and some are even outrageous. After all, some tabloids are just trying to attract attention and increase sales, regardless of whether the content is reasonable or not.
But roughly speaking, it is written like this:
During her lifetime, Ms. Li Yinghua of "Xiangjiang Hongming Industrial" promised in front of everyone at a party to marry into the He family. The two parties to the marriage were her grandson Si Mingyu in the mainland and He Maochang's granddaughter He Mengni. Other well-known people from Hong Kong were also present at the time.
The newspaper reporter claimed to have interviewed the wealthy businessmen Quan Zhiman, An Guangtian and Zhang Guangdun who were present at the time, and all three confirmed that the incident was true.
However, things did not develop as expected. After inheriting the estate, Ms. Li's grandson turned his back on the marriage promise and even spoke harshly to He Maochang and others who went to the hotel where he was staying to negotiate.
The newspaper reporter claimed that he learned about the incident from some insiders who did not want to reveal their names, and reported it out of indignation.
In short, the hat of breaking the promise was put on Si Mingyu's head, and his character was extremely belittled, and He Mengni's experience was extremely sympathetic, etc.
There are even more outrageous things.
Some tabloids reported that after Si Mingyu inherited the inheritance and became rich overnight, he frequented bars and nightclubs in Hong Kong and partied every night. He changed women around him one after another, and naturally he would no longer keep his engagement with He Mengni from the He family.
Some tabloids reported that He Mengni burst into tears after learning about this, and even attempted suicide, and was saved by the timely discovery of her by the servants in her house.
The stories were reported in tabloids, and Hong Kong locals generally don't believe these hearsay stories. But gossip is human nature, and even if they don't believe it, it doesn't stop them from using it as a pastime.
In addition, the major media outlets had made extensive reports on Si Mingyu's inheritance of "Xiangjiang Hongming Industrial" a few days ago, so his name was known to everyone and the heat of the matter had not completely subsided. Now that such a big melon suddenly emerged, how could the onlookers not be excited?
In less than half a day, the news had spread throughout most of Hong Kong.
Si Mingyu, the person involved, is currently reading a newspaper in the hotel with his wife, enjoying himself. That's right, one has to eat his own melon and laugh at his own joke.
I really have never come across these tabloids before. I didn't know that human imagination is so rich and that one thing can be written so funny from different angles.
Regarding this matter, Lawyer Zheng asked Si Mingyu whether he should sue these tabloids that spread nonsense.
After consulting local lawyer Huang Fufa, I discovered that suing the company wouldn't be very effective. While I was certain to win, the most the other party would get was a public apology and a small amount of compensation, something the tabloids were used to.
Moreover, if you sue them, you will only create topics for the other party. Even the hype of being sued can make them popular for a while.
What about Quan Zhiman, An Guangtian, and Zhang Guangdun?
No, there is no evidence.
The three only said that they did hear Ms. Li talk about the marriage proposal at the party, but they did not tell the tabloid reporters anything else. Whether Ms. Li actually said those words is impossible to verify, so how can they prove it against them?
Of course, Si Mingyu doesn’t care about these things, he has his own solutions.
