The next morning, Qin Heque took Cheng Yuesheng to attend an exchange meeting, and the person they were looking for would also attend the meeting.
Because it was a business exchange meeting, everyone dressed very formally. Most people were dressed in professional attire, and even Cheng Yuesheng wore a small suit.
After following Qin Heque and the others to attend a sharing session for the entire morning, it was finally time for free communication, and they found an opportunity to approach today's target person.
"Mr. He."
Although He Jiaqi did not do business in Jiangzhou, he was familiar with the Jiangzhou business world and recognized Qin Heque at a glance. However, they had no previous interactions or business dealings, so he found it strange that Qin Heque took the initiative to come forward and say hello.
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
Qin Heque saw that he was wary of his arrival, so he openly stated his purpose: "Mr. He, I have something I want to confirm with you. I wonder if it would be convenient for us to talk."
"This..." He Jiaqi was a little hesitant. Qin Heque was surrounded by a group of people. They looked very imposing and not easy to mess with.
Suddenly, he saw the only woman in the crowd.
He frowned and looked at her for a while, then looked at Qin Heque and asked in disbelief, "She is..."
Qin Heque nodded.
"Okay, let's find a quiet place to talk."
They came to an empty lounge.
He Jiaqi asked straight to the point: "Are you here to ask about Cheng Jiu? Are you Cheng Jiu's daughter?"
He looked at Cheng Yuesheng, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Qin Heque pulled Cheng Yuesheng to his side and said, "We do want to know something about Cheng Jiu. As for whether she is Cheng Jiu's daughter, we still need to verify it."
"My nominal parents now are Mr. and Mrs. Cheng Gong," said Cheng Yuesheng.
"How old are you this year?" He Jiaqi asked.
"twenty three."
When He Jiaqi heard Cheng Yuesheng's age, he immediately said, "Then you definitely can't be Cheng Gong's daughter. I remember his wife wasn't pregnant at that time. You must be Cheng Jiu's daughter."
"It's impossible for me to be the illegitimate daughter of Cheng Gong and another woman?" Cheng Yuesheng asked uncertainly.
He Jiaqi immediately denied it, "How dare Cheng Gong have a child with another woman? He is a son-in-law, and Wang Wanyun is very strong. He wouldn't dare to have any bad thoughts at all."
He looked Cheng Yuesheng up and down and asked, "Don't you remember me? I held you in my arms when you were a child."
Cheng Yuesheng answered carefully: "I don't remember much about my childhood."
He Jiaqi sighed and said, "You fell seriously ill after your mother passed away. I heard others say that you were confused and dazed. They said that you might have burned your brain. Is that true?"
Cheng Yuesheng pinched his fingers and asked, "How did she die?"
"Overworked."
"Overworked?"
"Back then, she worked so hard to make money that she practically lived at the office. If you weren't young and frequently ill, she might not have even returned home. The company's profits were indeed good in those years. Although she was a woman, she attracted many capable people to her side. The company was running smoothly. Her colleagues admired her, and everyone she worked with also appreciated her. We thought everything would flourish, but we didn't expect her to collapse in the office. You were only six years old at the time. At the funeral, all the colleagues in the company went to pay their respects. You cried so hard that you fainted."
Cheng Yuesheng had no recollection of these events, and no relevant content was found in the things left by the original owner. Perhaps as He Jiaqi said, six-year-old Cheng Yuesheng could not accept the death of his mother, with whom he depended on each other for survival. After a serious illness, he forgot about her and regarded Cheng Gong and his wife as his biological parents.
"Cheng Gong has never told you about your background?" He Jiaqi asked. He really didn't understand why Cheng Yuesheng suspected that he was Cheng Gong's illegitimate daughter.
Cheng Yuesheng shook his head and said, "I never knew he was my uncle. I always thought he was my father."
He Jiaqi's expression suddenly turned serious. He asked earnestly, "You're already an adult. Have you received the shares your mother left behind?"
"No, I didn't even know about the shares. I only found out about it when President Qin told me some time ago."
Anger flashed in He Jiaqi's eyes. "I knew Cheng Jiu was no good. After Cheng Gong joined the company, his wife kept giving him trouble. Just in case, we advised your mother to make preparations early and transfer the shares to your name, but we didn't expect your mother to pass away so early. When your mother passed away, we were thankful that she had already made a will. We didn't expect Cheng Gong to play tricks like this."
Then he looked at Qin Heque suspiciously and asked, "How did Mr. Qin know about the shares?"
Qin Heque explained calmly, "Shengsheng is my girlfriend. Cheng Gong's family was causing trouble for her, so I asked someone to investigate and discovered this."
"What? You are boyfriend and girlfriend?" He Jiaqi was shocked. He really didn't expect that a business elite would be a couple with Cheng Yuesheng, a girl who looked so naive.
Cheng Yuesheng met his surprised gaze and nodded in acknowledgment. Now she had no psychological pressure to admit that she and Qin Heque were a couple. It was completely different from the beginning when she would be shy when others teased her.
"But there is something I don't understand and I would like to ask Mr. He." Qin Heque said.
He Jiaqi said readily, "Mr. Qin, just ask directly. I will definitely tell you everything I know."
"From what you said, Ms. Cheng Jiu's company was what we know today as Chengcheng Construction. Everyone in the company should have known Ms. Cheng Jiu at the time. You all worked together and had a good relationship. Why didn't any of you come to visit Ms. Cheng Jiu's orphan over the years? Even when Sheng Sheng was supposed to inherit the shares, no one mentioned this matter?"
