The Tong Group has suffered the biggest business crisis in its 30 years of business. All properties under its name are suspected of being frozen, the stock has collapsed, and there is a great danger of being acquired by the Lu Group.
Tong Jiangxin saw such reports on the front pages of American commercial and financial newspapers. She had been studying in the United States for many years, and only returned to Hong Kong during holidays. No one told her that such a big thing happened at home.
she.
She called home and the servants answered the phone. When she asked what was going on, they also spoke vaguely.
With no other choice, Tong Jiangxin had no choice but to take the fastest flight back to Hong Kong from the United States, a fourteen-hour flight. She was so worried that she barely ate a bite, and she felt groggy.
The plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport, Tong Jiangxin walked out of the VIP channel, and then took a taxi back home.
She kept calling her father on the way, but there was always an unreachable sound on the phone.
After returning home anxiously, Tong Jiangxin saw the butler in the hall as soon as she entered the door of the villa.
After putting down her luggage, Tong Jiangxin asked nervously, "Uncle Cheng, where is my dad?"
Butler Cheng Bo turned around and saw Tong Jiangxin standing at the door. He hurriedly walked to her side and said, "Miss, why are you back?!"
Tong Jiangxin frowned slightly, looking at the unusually quiet room, she asked aloud, "Where are the servants at home? And I called my dad, why didn't he answer?"
Tong Jiangxin looked around. Nothing seemed to have changed in this mansion of more than a thousand square feet. There were treasured antiques everywhere and the interior decoration was also very elegant, but she just felt that something was wrong.
Uncle Cheng sighed and replied, "Master is at the company..."
Just as Tong Jiangxin was about to speak out, she heard a cold and angry voice saying, "How long are you going to lie to her?!"
Tong Jiang was delighted when he heard about the reputation. Standing in the middle of the second floor was a gorgeously dressed woman with a bright diamond necklace around her neck. The hand leaning on the staircase handle also wore a diamond ring of the same style.
Seeing Tong Jiangxin, she slowly came downstairs.
Tong Jiangxin looked at the woman with exquisite makeup in front of her and said, "Aunt Xue."
The woman in front of her is called Han Xue, who was his father's second wife. Her biological mother passed away early, and Tong Jiangxin has long accepted the existence of such a woman in the family.
Han Xue glanced at the butler beside her, who immediately lowered her head and went down.
Tong Jiangxin looked at Han Xue and said, "Aunt Xue, what's going on? I saw bad news about the company in the newspaper, and my father didn't answer the phone."
Han Xue opened and closed her mouth with red lipstick and replied loudly, "Yes, Tong's family is indeed facing bankruptcy now."
"What?!"
Tong Jiangxin's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.
Han Xue said almost indifferently, "It's been half a month since the incident happened, and your dad wanted to hide it from us at first. It wasn't until the bank came to our door and newspapers and magazines published the news that Tong's family was on the verge of bankruptcy that we found out. But
Even if he is like this, he still won’t ask anyone to tell you. I really don’t know if he has left any way out for you in the United States, so that we orphans and widowed mothers can suffer in Hong Kong!”
Tong Jiangxin didn't care about the gun and stick in Han Xue's words. She just frowned and asked in a trembling voice, "Bankruptcy? How could this happen? Where is dad?!"
Tong's Enterprise is one of the top 50 companies in the country. It has been among the top large groups for so many years. How can it be said that it is bankrupt?
With a straight face, Han Xue casually glanced upstairs and said, "Study!"
Tong Jiangxin didn't say anything, and immediately went upstairs in three steps and two steps at a time.
At the corner of the second floor, a nine-year-old boy stood there in casual clothes. He stared at Tong Jiangxin with his dark eyes.
Tong Jiangxin's stiff face forced a smile, reached out and touched the little boy's head affectionately, and said, "Jiang Hao, why are you at home today and not going to school?"
Tong Jianghao is Tong Jiangxin's half-brother. He is nine years old this year and has been studying in a wealthy private school in Hong Kong. The school is very strict and students are not allowed to go home easily.
Tong Jianghao took a step forward, looked up at Tong Jiangxin, and replied aloud, "The classmates in the school are saying that our Tong family is going to be doomed. They say that our family owes a lot of money... Sister, do you think we are really going to be doomed?"
?”
Tong Jiangxin's heart skipped a beat and she touched Tong Jianghao's head distressedly. She resisted the urge to cry and comforted her, "Don't worry, Jiang Hao. We still have our dad here. Even if we don't have our dad, you still have us."
Sister, it’s okay.”
After hearing this answer, Tong Jianghao finally showed a smile and said, "Sister, I miss you so much."
Tong Jiangxin also smiled and replied, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have grown taller again!"
After the brother and sister talked for a while, Tong Jianghao suddenly turned to look at the study and said, "Sister, you really want to go in and look for..."
"Jiang Hao!"
Tong Jianghao was only halfway through his words when he was stopped by Han Xue who came up from the first floor.
Han Xue walked up to the two of them, held Tong Jianghao behind her in a protective posture, then looked at Tong Jiangxin and said, "Jiang Xin, your father has loved you the most for so many years. Even if something like this happened at home, he would
If he doesn’t want to tell you, if you are interested, help him more!”
Looking at Han Xue, Tong Jiangxin felt inexplicably that there seemed to be something in her eyes that she was reluctant to say, but now she had no time to think about it, so she could only nodded and said, "Aunt Xue, don't worry, I'll go in and see dad."
.
Han Xue nodded, and then led Tong Jianghao to the bedroom on the side.
Tong Jiangxin came to the study door, knocked on the door with her hand, and said, "Dad, it's me!"
There was silence in the study. Tong Jiangxin called a few more times, but there was still no response. She could only push the door open by herself.
Tong Haizheng's study room is still the same as before. On the left is a wall-high bookcase filled with various books. Opposite the door are two large European-style windows. The sunlight shines in from the outside, filling the room with warmth.
Tong Jiangxin turned her head to the right. Behind the large mahogany-colored desk, the back of the seat was facing her.
Tong Jiangxin closed the door and walked over, saying, "Dad, I'm back, why is it at home..."
Before she could finish her words, she stopped abruptly because she saw the rotating seat turn around. The person sitting on it was not Tong Haizheng, but a strange man with outstanding appearance. He was wearing an Armani suit, white
The shirt was only tied to the third button, revealing a small patch of smooth skin underneath.
At this time, he was holding Tong Haizheng's special gold pen in his hand and looking at Tong Jiangxin with interest.
