On the eve of the Lunar New Year, the night markets in Hong Kong were brightly lit.
As the two walked through it, they truly felt that the whole city had become warmer.
"Xiaoyu, I hope that the reform and opening up in our mainland can come sooner, so that we can lose fewer highly educated talents. Otherwise, I really feel sorry for the country!"
"Qingqing, we are just ordinary people doing our jobs. How can we possibly decide the major affairs of a country?! We are still young. While the country is closed off from the world, let's take advantage of Hong Kong's natural geographical advantages and develop our careers!"
Lin Chengyu has always been easygoing and doesn't have many thoughts about worrying about the country and its people. After all, in his previous life, he was sent to the countryside as an educated youth and later lived in a foreign land. The country never cared about him, so he couldn't help but feel resentful about it.
It's just that as time went by, he came to terms with it.
Therefore, in this second life, Song Ziqing and his parents are the people he cares about most. As for other people and things, he doesn't care much about them.
Song Ziqing was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and after listening to his words, he felt that they made a lot of sense. "Okay, let's just live our lives well! Right now, our identity in the mainland is just that of ordinary educated youth sent to the countryside!"
It's still better in Hong Kong. As long as you have money and ability, you can change your social status. We only invested a few hundred thousand dollars and became shareholders of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Although we are only small shareholders, I think it's still very good.
However, we still have six months until the college entrance exam, and I think we should apply to Hong Kong University, since its facilities and resources are better.
Furthermore, we can't limit our investments to the Chinese University of Hong Kong. We can invest in any school we have the funds for in the future. After all, our Song Lin Group will become a diversified conglomerate, and we need as many schools as possible to help us cultivate talent!
The main reason was that Song Ziqing felt that the Chinese University of Hong Kong was too far from Central. In contrast, the University of Hong Kong was located on the edge of Central, making it much more convenient for him to go home and to work when he was in college.
After all, Songlin Group was only recently established and still needs people. Lin Chengyu couldn't live on campus every day; he had to take care of various company affairs while attending university.
The two had planned long ago to stay in Hong Kong for another three years, complete their university degrees, lay a solid foundation for their businesses in Hong Kong, and establish branches in various Southeast Asian countries.
Then, the two of them can travel to Europe and America for further studies, while also developing their own businesses. In this way, they can expand the Songlin Group to countries all over the world.
These three years were the time for the two of them and Songlin Group to lay the foundation. Whether it was talent, rules and regulations, or anything else, they had to lay a solid foundation.
The two ate various snacks along the way, and when they reached the end of the street, they saw a familiar person, Xiao Long.
Song Ziqing quickly stepped forward, grabbed the anxious-looking Xiaolong, and asked, "Xiaolong, why did you run out by yourself? Weren't you supposed to be at the security company celebrating the New Year with those uncles and aunties?"
"Sister Song, Brother Lin, hurry, hurry and catch up! I saw the man who took my mother away!"
Xiao Long didn't have time to explain and eagerly pointed to the man in front of him.
"Xiaolong, with your little arms and legs, how can you outrun adults? Let Uncle Security go with you and take a look; we won't go!"
Lin Chengyu ignored his words, but instead pulled Xiaolong forcefully, then waved to the two bodyguards behind him, instructing one of them to follow and investigate the person's situation before discussing anything else.
A short while later, five people from the security company arrived. They spotted the Song couple and Xiaolong, whom Lin Chengyu was holding, from afar, and the anxious group finally felt relieved.
Roger, the manager of the security company, quickly came forward to greet the boss and his wife, and explained the whole story to them.
Xiao Long had come to the night market with these people when he saw the man who had taken his mother away. In a moment of panic, he rushed out without telling the others.
The security guards reacted quickly, and as soon as they realized Xiaolong was missing, they began searching for him.
It happened just minutes later; it was all too coincidental.
Seeing Xiaolong's mournful face, Song Ziqing quickly comforted him, "Xiaolong, you have to trust our security guards. They are all professionals. Finding someone is much more capable than you and us two laymen!"
Seeing that the more Song Ziqing tried to comfort Xiaolong, the harder he cried, Lin Chengyu quickly stepped forward and pretended to be angry: "Xiaolong, are you being disobedient? You said before that you would listen to us from now on, but you're already going back on your word?"
Xiao Long, still hiccuping from crying, said shakily, "Brother Lin, I... I was good! I... I was just sad! I... I miss my mom! I miss my mom!"
"Xiaolong, your mother chose to die so that you could live a good life! Her departure was her own choice! You are living a good life now, which is better than many children in Hong Kong!"
There are still many children in Hong Kong who don't even have enough to eat, let alone be able to go to school like you! So, hurry home with the security guards now, and don't go out for the time being, stay home.
This time, Song Ziqing didn't coax him like before. After all, the lover standing beside her was more pitiful than Xiaolong. It would be better if he had no parents than to have parents!
Xiaolong's mother at least loves him; she had previously crashed into their car, causing considerable damage to the family.
The Song family simply wasn't short of money and didn't want to stoop to the level of a dead man!
What upset Song Ziqing the most was that on New Year's Eve, Xiaolong kept crying, which greatly affected his mood and everyone else's.
Therefore, she spoke much more harshly today, and Xiaolong was quite frightened by Song Ziqing's words.
Xiao Long is a boy from Kowloon Walled City, about seven or eight years old. He fled from the mainland to Hong Kong with his mother and suffered a lot. He knows that what Song Ziqing said is true and he is also aware that his life is much better than most people's.
Not only can they eat their fill and dress well every day, but they can also eat meat from time to time. This is the life that many rich people live.
Moreover, he now lives in the area where the richest people in Hong Kong live. He can openly and honestly spend his days on the streets without encountering many bad people. Xiao Long has enough of such a good life.
However, his two adopted brothers and sisters were too busy, and he could only see them once a month, so he felt very lonely and that's why he came out to play with the security guards.
He unexpectedly saw the man who took his mother away, and he also knew that the reason his mother was so determined to die was because she had been beaten so badly by the man that she couldn't survive.
That's why he wanted to chase after the man and ask him why he was bullying his mother!
