Chapter 372 Hong Kong
Seeing Zhang Xingjiu coming out, the man shouted even more fiercely, "Oh, Mr. Zhang, you are finally back. You don't know what Guowei did during the days you were away from Shanghai! He beat my son so hard that his head was bleeding and he is still lying in the hospital!"
"What's going on?" Zhang Xingjiu asked sternly.
"Dad, his kid deserves it. He relies on his family's wealth and power to molest women on the street. I couldn't stand it and stepped forward to stop him, but he dared to fight with me. I don't tolerate him. I didn't expect that he could withstand a beating so well. He was lying down in a few strokes." The third son, Zhang Guowei, had no worry on his face and told the story of what happened with confidence.
"He was just drunk and fooling around. Even if he made some mistakes, he shouldn't have to suffer such an end, right?" The man's momentum was immediately dampened, but he still stiffened his neck and refused to admit defeat.
"Mr. Xu, I just came back and don't know the whole story. Once I figure out the situation, I promise to give you a satisfactory answer, okay?" Zhang Xingjiu said with a smile. Based on his understanding of his third son, perhaps it was not his fault. That way, things would be much easier.
"I'm Mr. Xin Zhang. I won't bother you anymore." The man left angrily.
"Come with me." Zhang Xingjiu turned around and called Zhang Guowei into the study. After carefully questioning him, he asked other people to corroborate his findings and found that things were exactly as he said. At most, he was a little less careful in his actions, but it could not be said to be a big mistake.
This makes things much easier. "Tomorrow you buy some things and go to the hospital to see him, pay his medical bills, and the matter will be settled."
If that family still doesn't know what's good for them, Zhang Xingjiu is not a pushover. He has been in Shanghai for so many years and has trained so many students, many of whom are now working in key departments in Shanghai. He will definitely not get any advantage.
Zhang Xingjiu is a very senior member of the Hongmen. Although he has not been involved in the affairs of the underworld in recent years, which bigwig in Shanghai would not greet him respectfully? Who would dare to take the job of cleaning up his son? If Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng knew about this, they would immediately tie him up and bring him to Zhang Xingjiu to plead guilty.
"Dad, don't worry. I have already taken care of the matter. He will know when he gets back. His family will definitely not dare to harass our family again." Zhang Guowei said lazily.
"How did you do it?" Zhang Xingjiu was a little curious. He had been traveling around in the past few years and didn't know what the two children at home had become. He didn't have to worry about the second child. His articles could often be seen in journals and magazines, proving that he had not stopped his research in the field of electronics over the years. He should not have time to do those messy things. But he didn't know about the third child.
"I got a few tabloid reporters to the hospital to stop him and took pictures of his injuries. I said I would publish these pictures in the newspapers and add an article with the title 'Shanghai Evil Youngster Failed to Flirt with Women and Was Beaten Up'. You know, people like him are very concerned about their reputation. If these articles were published, who would care about him?"
Zhang Guowei was beaming with joy as he spoke, "He immediately admitted his mistake and begged me not to send out these photos. He said that this was all his fault and that he would hold a banquet to apologize to me when he got better! It was also because his father was too anxious that he came to our house instead of going to the hospital. Otherwise, how could he have let you see these!"
Not to mention that this method really works, this kid also has some crooked ideas, probably learned from hanging out with those scoundrels. Zhang Xingjiu was speechless for a moment, "I sent you to Oxford, and this is what you learned?"
There were three children in the family. The eldest went to study in France, where he met a group of like-minded comrades. After returning to China, he changed his name and embarked on the most difficult but promising path. The second child did not go abroad, but got a doctorate from Aurora University, and then stayed at the school to teach while conducting research in electronic technology.
He sent the third son to Oxford to study law, thinking that he would return to China to teach at a university. However, he didn't expect that he didn't like these things at all. He did some business while hanging out everywhere, and he was the most troublesome one.
Thinking about the current time, Zhang Xingjiu finally made up his mind, "It's not a good idea for you to hang around in Shanghai all the time. You should leave Shanghai in a few days. I have a very important job for you."
"What's the matter?" Seeing his father's serious attitude, Zhang Guowei put away his nonchalant look and asked seriously.
Zhang Xingjiu told them the plan he had already thought of. "We're going to Hong Kong. The Japanese have always been ambitious and will not be content to just take over the Northeast. They will covet more places in the future. North China will be the first to be affected, and the coastal provinces will not be immune. Their naval strength is far superior to ours. Once they block the coastal ports, it will be very difficult for us to obtain foreign supplies. Hong Kong's situation is quite special. Before they fell out with Britain, they didn't dare to attack Hong Kong."
"So you go to Hong Kong now, find ways to do some business and get to know more people. You studied at Oxford and you are my son, so those British guys will give you some respect. As for the rest of the rabble, you are born to deal with them."
"First, spend a few years setting up the business and making preparations. If the situation changes in the future, you can use these resources to transport a large amount of valuable materials to the country. Your two brothers can't do this well, so I have to rely on you."
"Dad, what has big brother been doing all these years? Why don't you and mom tell me every time I ask?" Zhang Guowei did not agree immediately, but asked another question. The three brothers had a very good relationship since childhood. Now that they haven't seen each other for many years, they both miss Zhang Guoqiang very much.
Zhang Xingjiu has always told others that his eldest son is traveling and doing research overseas, but this could be hidden from outsiders but not from his own son who he lives with day and night.
"Now is not the time to talk about this. I will tell you when you should know. Just tell me whether you can do this! Oh, by the way, if you make money, please support the Chinese University of Hong Kong more. They have not had an easy time these years." The British in Hong Kong have been suppressing the Chinese. Naturally, this school organized and managed by the Chinese became a thorn in their eyes. It was only thanks to the concerted efforts of the school's teachers and students, as well as the help from all sides of the Chinese community, that the school was able to survive.
"Okay, since this matter is so important, I will start preparing now, and go south to Hong Kong as soon as I'm ready." Zhang Guowei agreed solemnly.
A month later, he took a few people and boarded a passenger ship to Hong Kong. Zhang Xingjiu waved goodbye on the shore. With his personality and abilities, he might be able to make a name for himself in Hong Kong.
