Chapter 757: A Colossus
Feng Zihan didn't answer immediately; she couldn't be too eager. What if her suspicious father didn't agree?
She couldn't stay here any longer.
Zhen Xi was right; although her father had recovered his losses, he wouldn't turn against the second wife, who was eating inside and out, for the sake of his face. Since he wouldn't turn against her, she and her brother would very likely become victims and targets of retaliation.
Even if her brother was actually like a child who never grew up, even if for many people, as long as he was given a bite to eat, it would be fine, his existence would still prick others' eyes.
She was a girl and would be married off sooner or later.
Even so, because she was her mother's daughter, she was still regarded as a thorn in the side by many people.
Most importantly, her father didn't love her at all because of her mother. Perhaps her father hated her and her brother.
If something happened to her and her brother, she guessed her father would be happy to see it happen and wouldn't care at all.
In the past, everyone lived in peace.
She and her brother had always been excluded and had no presence.
But now the situation had changed.
Zhen Xi said that the incident with the Feng family's shipping business was done by the second wife and her younger brother in collusion with outsiders.
The purpose was also for the Feng family's property.
She didn't know what her father would do, but he wouldn't take the second wife's life after all.
After all, she had given birth to three sons.
And they were all smart and healthy.
According to her father's cold personality, he wouldn't take her life, but he wouldn't treat her like before in the future, so the second wife might hold a grudge and might take it out on her and her brother.
The Zhen family now seemed to exclude Zhen Xi, but in fact, Zhen Xi's current industry was no less than what the eldest son of the Zhen family held.
Especially Zhen Xi's Tian'ao Foreign Trade Company, which had already squeezed into the top three of Hong Kong's foreign trade industry.
Zhen Xi told her things she couldn't possibly know for the sake of her mother.
So she listened to his words.
But she couldn't let her father raise suspicions.
Feng Zihan clasped her hands together, seemingly struggling and in a difficult position, but finally made up her mind.
She said in a hoarse voice: "I know that my brother and I cannot make any contribution to the family, but we are enjoying everything the family gives us... just like what you said just now. I was thinking if I could do something for the family, my brother and I would be very happy. I hope Father can give me this opportunity..."
In fact, while Feng Zihan was saying these words, Feng Dong was thinking about the future.
He also discovered that although the other side was still poor and backward now, and seemed to have no status internationally, and even did business and would be scammed and blackmailed.
But it was a country after all.
If it really mobilized its resources and power, it was indeed terrifying.
Before, he had no sense of awe.
After this incident, Feng Dong realized that he couldn't reach the heavens.
The one who could truly reach the heavens was that colossus on the other side of the lake!
Thinking of this, Feng Dong glanced at his eldest daughter, who seemed unwilling to go but had to go, and sighed in his heart. In fact, when this child was born, he was also happy.
Who could have imagined that it would end up like this?
Feng Dong said to Feng Zihan: "I only know that the other side also recruits international students, but they recruit very few, and they have to go through layers of review. This time, the frequent contact with the other side is because those two factories were implicated by our Feng family. Of course, they also got the compensation they deserved because of our Feng family. And I also promised that in the future, in terms of shipping..."
Feng Dong stopped here; he found that he had unknowingly started talking about these business matters with his daughter.
Zihan would be married off sooner or later.
She didn't need to know these things.
"Stay put, and I'll notify you when there's news," Feng Dong said in a stiff tone.
Subsequently, he got up and left, but hope rose in Feng Zihan's heart.
She wasn't afraid of hardship or poor conditions; she was afraid that she and her brother would lose their lives silently one day.
Lu Qiao only learned about this when she received a call from Zhen Xi.
Zhen Xi wasn't embarrassed; he said directly to Lu Qiao: "... Feng Dong's eldest son is twenty-three years old, but has the intelligence of a five- or six-year-old child. It was Feng Zihan who protected her brother from being bullied by his father's other children and lived safely until now.
After her mother got sick, she was basically isolated from the two of them. Now I don't know what state Feng Zihan's mother is in after getting sick...
But the person is already gone, and now only Feng Zihan and her brother are left.
I heard from Chairman Luo that there are several schools in the mainland that also recruit international students. At this critical juncture, it should be safest for them to go to the mainland."
This was what Luo Ziwen and Zhen Xi said in secret.
Luo Ziwen wasn't in a hurry now.
He also felt that his wife and children staying in the mainland was temporarily better than being in Hong Kong.
Zhen Meili was still uncontrollable.
Before solving Zhen Meili, Luo Ziwen didn't dare to bring Chu Sulian and Luo Aijun to Hong Kong or send them to Country M.
"The Feng family's shipping line is very important, and closer cooperation with him is necessary.
Feng Zihan's procedures have been handled, and Beidu University is estimated to be ready. Zihan said her father applied for the Literature Department, but she really wants to study Economics, so she will need your help then."
Lu Qiao said without thinking: "Leave this to me; you can rest assured."
Zhen Xi smiled: "I knew Factory Director Lu was a straightforward person."
By the time Lu Qiao met Feng Zihan, Beidu was already in late autumn.
She had also just returned from Jiangcheng.
This time, Lu Qiao returned to Beidu by herself. When she got on the train, she was also carrying large and small bags, all food given by her family and old colleagues. When no one was paying attention, they were all thrown into the space by Lu Qiao.
Lu Qiao stayed in Jiangcheng for three days and then returned to Beidu.
Mainly because taking the train also took two days. The current courses were very intense, and the management was strict. Lu Qiao didn't dare to slack off, mainly because she still had work at the Foreign Trade General Bureau.
Regarding Feng Zihan's matter, Lu Qiao had also reported it to Section Chief Lu. Section Chief Lu knew this, but didn't know there were so many things involved.
He also thought in his heart, if Feng Dong's illness couldn't be cured, then wouldn't this Feng Zihan be his only heir?
So, Zhen Xi, the general manager of Hong Kong Tian'ao Foreign Trade Company, sent the future heir of the Feng family's shipping company to Beidu?
If you look at it from the surface, it seems like nothing. But if you think deeply, this is not simple.
But this choice for Zhen Xi or Feng Zihan would definitely not be a loss.
Not only would it not be a loss, but it would also bring great benefits.
It's just that many things are not clear now and can't be seen.
After all, no one can accurately predict what this era and this country will develop into in three, five, or even ten years... ===== CHAPTER 758 =====
