Chapter 723

Zhao Hongxing picked up his wine glass and held it before his eyes, shaking it gently; the red liquid kept changing shape in the glass. And his eyes, through the glass, watched Song Ziyi's face.

The Song family's ancestors were big landlords during the Qing Dynasty, and they became traitors during the War of Resistance. Later, seeing that the situation was not good, they immigrated to the United States as a family.

They thought they would live a good life, but in the eyes of those high-and-mighty white people, they were just a bunch of yellow-skinned monkeys who came over to beg for food.

Just after buying a house and settling down, their home was ransacked by a gang of bandits; the old master was shot dead, and the rest escaped, but how were they to live?

The women in the family had hidden some private money and gold and silver jewelry well, which could be considered as leaving a way out for the family. But this money was limited after all, and how could a family of more than ten people spend it?

They had always eaten big fish and meat, and suddenly it turned into porridge and pickles; who could stand it? At this time, the great-grandmother, who was just over thirty, didn't know how she got involved with a nearby farm owner.

In this way, with the help of the farm owner, the Song family truly stood firm and had a farm of their own. But the good days didn't last long; the farm owner died.

The farm owner's sons drove the great-grandmother out, and the farm was taken back. Fortunately, they had saved some family foundation over the years and opened a restaurant in Chinatown.

Although they didn't have to eat porridge and pickles like a few years ago, the Song family was still unwilling, but there was no other way. It wasn't until after Song Ziyi was born that his mother got involved with a Japanese businessman.

His father got together with a South African rich woman, and then the couple acted as go-betweens, matchmaking the Japanese businessman and the South African rich woman to cooperate in business, and the Song family profited from it.

In just over a dozen years, the Song family accumulated enough wealth. Song Ziyi's parents returned to the family, set sail on the Song family's ship, and even gave birth to a younger sister for Song Ziyi.

The Song family was rich, but in the eyes of Westerners, they were still yellow-skinned monkeys and were not recognized by the upper class. Thus, Song Ziyi's aunt abandoned her husband and children to marry an artist in his sixties.

Just like that, under the introduction of this old artist, the Song family finally squeezed into the upper class. With this old artist around, celebrities from all walks of life still gave them face.

The Song family could be said to be thriving. Just last year, the old artist was summoned to heaven by God. Immediately after, their family business was hindered everywhere and plummeted; even the Song family themselves didn't know who they had offended.

Seeing that the Song family was about to collapse, Song Ziyi, this playboy, wanted to learn from his grandmother, parents, and aunt and began to pursue the councilor's daughter.

Although this woman weighed over three hundred pounds, this guy never cared about a woman's age, size, or beauty; he only cared about whether there was the smell of money on the woman.

It could be said that this guy had no bottom line in doing things; no matter what kind of woman it was, as long as he set his sights on her, he would stick to her like a fly encountering excrement.

Therefore, he spent a lot of effort to pursue the councilor's daughter, and because the councilor intervened, all the obstacles in front of the Song family disappeared.

But just when Song Ziyi was preparing to marry the councilor's daughter, this guy was caught in bed by the councilor father-in-law while exercising with his mother-in-law.

If it hadn't been for the mother-in-law protecting him while he ran away, that afternoon, this guy would have been carried out and sent directly to the crematorium to be burned.

Then, the Song family's business, which had just improved, encountered resistance again, even stronger than before, and the councilor declared that the Song family must leave the United States, or he would kill them.

No one dared not to believe the councilor's words. The Song family began to dispose of assets, and Song Ziyi, the culprit, kept hiding and dared not show his face, afraid of being shot dead by his father-in-law.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Hongxing's mouth; he had known about Song Ziyi's scandal while still in the country.

It's just that he didn't know why this guy suddenly ran out and was so ostentatious driving a sports car.

He didn't know if it was a chance encounter or if he came to find him on purpose.

However, none of this mattered, as long as this guy was shameless enough to sell his conscience and body for money.

Zhao Hongxing didn't expose Song Ziyi's ugly scandal, took a slight sip of red wine: "How much capital can you bring back when you return to the country?"

Song Ziyi smiled slightly: "Since I intend to return to the country to invest, capital is definitely not a problem."

This guy looked very confident, but his heart was very empty. He was the last straw that broke the Song family, and his family members wished they could strangle him to death, but he was the Song family's only heir.

Therefore, the matter of returning to the country to invest could only be left to him. This was a probe into the country and also a test for Song Ziyi, so the capital naturally wouldn't be too much.

As for the others, they wouldn't return to the country but would settle in Switzerland. They would only return to the country after Song Ziyi opened up the situation.

Zhao Hongxing looked at Song Ziyi and said with a smile: "Ziyi, you must have confidence in your own charm."

"?" Song Ziyi was stunned; of course, he had confidence in his own charm, but he didn't understand Zhao Hongxing's words.

The smile on Zhao Hongxing's face became brighter and brighter: "I have a friend named Zhou Andong, who is the chairman of the domestic Yugong Group. It has breweries, real estate, and beverages under its umbrella, with a total market value of over two billion."

"State-owned enterprise?" Song Ziyi asked.

"No!" Zhao Hongxing shook his head: "Private enterprise!"

Song Ziyi looked surprised: "There are enterprises with a market value of over two billion in the country?"

"Of course there are, and this two billion is still my conservative estimate."

Zhao Hongxing raised his glass again and took a sip of wine: "Zhou Andong has a very beautiful younger sister; you two being together would definitely be a match made in heaven."

Song Ziyi's eyes suddenly became thief-bright, and his heart jumped violently.

Zhao Hongxing put down his wine glass and smiled again: "As long as you can pursue Zhou Andong's sister, being a director within the Yugong Group is no problem at all."

"Don't look at this as a group company of two billion; those high-level leaders are all country bumpkins. With your ability, you will definitely be able to master the right to speak very quickly."

"By then, you can use the financial resources of the Yugong Group to help your Song family stand firm in the country."

Song Ziyi's heart was pounding: "Brother Zhao, you must introduce Zhou Andong to me."

Zhao Hongxing smiled: "Zhou Andong cannot be introduced to you, but his sister can be introduced to you."

Song Ziyi didn't hear anything wrong with this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care; as long as he could pursue the sister, it didn't matter when he met the brother-in-law.

"Brother Zhao, as long as this matter is successful, I definitely won't treat you badly."

Zhao Hongxing smiled: "Between brothers, you are being too polite. However, I might really need your help in the future."

Zhou Andong, aren't you very proud? I will make your family never have peace.
