Tong Che looked into the reception room and hurriedly walked over. "Tiger, why are you here?"
Yun Jingting was dressed differently from yesterday. Today, he was wearing a dignified military uniform. His back was straight and his expression was serious … It was so stiff that it attracted people's attention.
He always had this kind of self-awareness. As long as he wore the military uniform, he would be different from usual. No matter what he said or did, even his actions, he would be exceptionally self-disciplined. "Brother Tong, I need to talk to you about something!"
Something?
Was there a need to ask?
Of course, Tong Che knew in his heart that Yun Jingting was a busy person. Since he was waiting here so early in the morning, it must be something urgent. He thought for a moment and said, "What's wrong with Mi Xaing 'er?"
He knew … that Yun Laohu could wait for anything, but his wife's matters had to be prioritized. It had to be done immediately and without delay.
Yun Jingting smiled a little embarrassedly, but he didn't hide it and said directly, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. If it's convenient, can we find a quiet place to talk?"
Tong Che looked at his watch and said, "I only have ten minutes. There's still a meeting!"
He was very decisive when it came to handling business matters.
Yun Laohu was the same. He was simple and to the point. "It won't take ten minutes! Just a few words. I'll leave when I'm done! "
Tong Che nodded and turned to enter the office first.
Yun Jingting followed him in … He looked up and saw that the office was spacious and bright. The sun shone warmly into the room through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the row of bookshelves by the wall and the neat and orderly desk. There were no sofas or coffee tables in the room, only a few simple stools. It was obvious that the owner didn't want guests to sit and chat.
Yun Jingting stood across from the desk and said, "I'll keep it short!"
Tong Che nodded decisively and said, "Go ahead."
In the office, his face was naturally in high spirits, his eyes were shrewd and capable, and his every move was filled with calmness. With one look, one could tell that … this was a confident leader.
Yun Laohu didn't hesitate. "I wanted to talk to you about this yesterday, but at that time, there were some things that I hadn't figured out yet. Besides, there were too many people in the restaurant … Anyway, to put it simply, I want you to help me find out how to contact Chen Jiaxuan in America!"
Tong Che did not understand. "Who?"
"Chen Jiaxuan! Mi Xaing 'er's … half-brother, the adopted son of Chen Yaozhong in America! "
"Oh!"
"The reason why I came to find you is that Chen Jiaxuan left in a hurry and didn't leave us any contact number. Now that there is a problem, I want to check with him! So I thought of you! He is a guest of the Economic and Trade Commission. It is said that he is going to invest in the province. You must know something about him, right? "
"…"
"Also, if you can't find anything here, can you ask your friends in America? After all, you have lived in America for many years, so you know the situation there better than I do! Anyway, no matter what, I want to know everything about Chen Jiaxuan, including his family members, address, and contact number. The more detailed, the better! "
Yun Laohu didn't say any words of gratitude, and didn't even mention anything about repaying him … Both of them knew each other's temperament, so there was no need for such superficial things.
Tong Che looked at his serious expression and couldn't help but feel worried. "Old Tiger, I'm pressed for time now. Can you give me a simple explanation? What the hell happened? Did Chen Jiaxuan endanger Mi Xaing 'er's life? Is there anything else I can do for you? "
He was also a loyal person. When someone said "one", he wanted to help "two"!
After thinking for a while, he immediately understood. "For a big family like Mi Xaing 'er, is it related to wealth?"
Yun Jingting didn't want to explain much, nor was he willing to discuss things with others … To be honest, he was more confident in dealing with things. He believed that he could handle things on his own. When he encountered difficulties, he tried not to involve his friends and family.
For example …
Discuss?
Discuss?
Can you help me?
These words didn't exist in his dictionary, and he wouldn't listen to the opinions of ordinary people.
When Tong Che asked for the reason, he simply waved his hand indifferently. "It's about Chen Jiaxuan. It's not a big deal. I just want to know more about it. Besides, Mi Xaing 'er is a little worried about his father's condition! Brother Tong, can you help with this? If it's too difficult, I'll think of other ways! "
"Leave this to me!" Tong Che didn't beat around the bush. Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask anymore. "I'll give you a detailed answer tomorrow or the day after!"
Yun Jingting followed up with another question. "I also want to verify that a Chinese American named Chen Mei stayed in the Provincial Guest House a few days ago. Did she leave the city? I heard that the Economic and Trade Commission sent her to the airport in a small car! "
Tong Che didn't hesitate. He turned around and grabbed the phone on his desk. "I'll call the small car fleet now to ask."
He quickly dialed a string of numbers and said calmly, "Hello? Small car fleet? I'm Tong Che! "
"Hello, Director Tong."
"Yes! I want to know … "He covered the receiver with his hand and whispered to Yun Jingting," When did she leave? "
"I heard that it was yesterday afternoon!"
"Oh!" Tong Che continued, "Did you send a guest from the Provincial Guest House to the airport yesterday afternoon?"
"We'll check!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end. "Reporting to Director Tong, we've checked. A woman named Chen Mei was sent to the airport at around three o 'clock! The driver is … "
Tong Che interrupted him forcefully. "I don't care who the driver is. I just want to know immediately if that woman boarded the plane!"
"Reporting to Director Tong, according to the requirements of picking up and dropping off VIPs, who would pick her up? Who would send her off? Our staff must be waiting at the gate. Don't worry! " There won't be any mistakes. Madam Chen has boarded the plane safely! "
"Okay!"
Tong Che put down the phone and shrugged at Yun Jingting. "Did you hear that?"
Yun Laohu nodded silently. "Thank you, Brother Tong. I won't say anymore … I'm leaving! I won't take up any more of your precious time! "
As Tong Che walked him out, he asked carefully, "Are you sure … there's nothing I can do for you? Tiger, you don't have to stand on ceremony with me. Whatever happened between you and Mi Xaing 'er is also my business. I treat both of you as family. "
His tone was exceptionally sincere.
Yun Jingting was a little embarrassed. He smiled sheepishly. "Brother Tong, I was a little blunt last night. Please don't take it to heart. You know how I am. I don't beat around the bush. I'll say whatever I want to say."
Tong Che waved his hand indifferently. "I've known you for so long. Why would I be bothered by a few words from you? I know that you're worried about Jing Qi. No matter what you say, it's for her own good. Just based on this point, we have the same intentions! You have to believe that … I never had any intention of hurting Jing Qi! "
He thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it. "I went to see your second sister yesterday and we talked things out. I think that your sister is very …"
He paused, tilted his head, and tried to find the right word in his mind.
Yun Jingting smiled. "Brother Tong, we don't have to be so particular about words when we talk. I know what you mean. My sister is very fierce now, just like Mi Xaing 'er."
His tone was obviously doting.
Tong Che smiled … He knew that Yun Jingting was trying to lighten the atmosphere and didn't want to continue discussing such a serious topic. He simply went with the flow. "Tiger, let me tell you. You offended both your sister and Mi Xaing 'er with one sentence! If you don't treat me to dinner, I'll tell them that you scolded them behind their backs. You'll be in for it later. "
Although Tong Che was arrogant, he could be very humorous towards the people he liked.
Yun Laohu shrugged his shoulders. "Don't! Brother Tong, don't tell on me. To be honest, there aren't many people in this world that I'm afraid of. You can count them with one hand, but Mi Xaing 'er and my sister are my mortal enemies. I can't afford to offend them! "
Tong Che lowered his voice. "What's fear? A man's fear? It's love! You're afraid that the other party will be wronged and unhappy! Tiger, I'm really envious of you. There are so many people to love and so many people to love you back. "
Yun Laohu had a military background, so he wasn't good at revealing his delicate inner feelings. The tips of his ears were a little red. "Brother Tong, you're really a foreigner. What love? You just say it out loud! I have to criticize you. Your petty bourgeois sentiments are too serious! "
He laughed and turned around. "I'm leaving! Goodbye! "
Tong Che narrowed his eyes and watched his back disappear around the corner. The smile on his face gradually faded as he muttered a name. "Chen Mei? Chen Jiaxuan? "
He turned his head and ordered his secretary forcefully, "There are two things …"
The secretary immediately picked up a pen and paper to take notes.
"First, go and check all the information on Chen Mei! Second, I want Chen Jiaxuan's address and phone number in the United States, as well as her family relationship! The faster, the better! The more detailed, the better! Before I get off work today, I want to see the summary of the information on my desk! "
Tong Che might be a little soft when it came to dealing with relationships, but when it came to work, he was definitely not careless. In less than two days, he had investigated all the information on the Chen siblings.
He called Yun Jingting to inform him. "When is it convenient for you to come over? There's already news on the matter you asked me to do! "
Yun Laohu didn't hesitate. "I'll be there right after I get off work! Huh? To your office? "
"Yes! I've already arranged it! It's convenient to make international calls from my office. The time difference between Washington and here is 13 hours. I'll try to get you to speak with Chen Jiaxuan tonight! "
Tong Che was indeed a shrewd person, and he did things quickly as well!
Yun Jingting was, of course, happy.
He couldn't wait to get to Tong Che's side immediately and resolve this matter. However, he still finished the work at hand first. When it was time to get off work, he tidied up his desk and went straight to the government office building.
When he saw Tong Che, he didn't exchange too many pleasantries. He went straight to the point and said, "Big Brother Tong, I know your time is precious. Let's get down to business!"
This time, he didn't stand. Instead, he pulled up a chair and sat in front of Tong Che … He was prepared to spend some energy and time to deal with this matter seriously.
Red slowly pushed a stack of documents over on the office table. "Take a look and see if it's detailed enough!"
Yun Laohu glanced at it roughly. Most of the documents were in English. Tong Che hurriedly explained, "I could have done it faster, but later on, the documents submitted by the secretary weren't very detailed. So, I called a few friends in America and asked them to fill in the details!"
Yun Jingting nodded and lowered his head to look carefully. His English couldn't be compared to Tong Che's, but it was considered quite outstanding in that era. Xu Jingya used to be the "Fifth Miss" of the Shanghai Bund. She was also considered a fashionable person at that time. She was quite avant-garde when it came to educating children. The three children of the Yun Family didn't dare to say that they were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but they had dabbled in them.
Yun Laohu flipped through a few pages and couldn't help but raise his head in confusion. "I only asked you to investigate Chen Jiaxuan. Why is there information about Chen Mei here?"
Tong Che raised his eyebrows. "Old Tiger, although you didn't ask me to investigate Chen Mei, why would you care about whether she stays or goes for no reason?"
He was a smart person. He had sharp eyes and did things flawlessly. You could even say that he was very domineering … Tong Che was now in a high position. If he didn't have the ability to lead the overall situation, he wouldn't be promoted no matter what. "Old Tiger, don't say so much! Do you see the problem here? "
"Hmm?"
Tong Che hit the nail on the head. "Chen Mei and Chen Jiaxuan were adopted by Chen Yaozhong. In other words, according to American law, the two of them and Mi Xaing 'er have the right to inherit the Chen family's assets! As for how the assets will be distributed, that will depend on the will! Old Tiger, although you don't want to tell me much, I can already vaguely feel that … the Chen family will soon have a property war! "
Yun Laohu took a deep breath. "To be honest, I really don't care about the American money. I just don't want anyone to hurt Mi Xaing 'er. If anyone dares to touch even a strand of her hair …"
He subconsciously grabbed a pencil from the table. His big hand exerted force, and with a "snap", the pencil broke in response.
Tong Che squinted his eyes and smiled. "If you've already made up your mind, then I think we can declare war on the American siblings!"
He picked up the phone. "I'll call Chen Yaozhong now. You talk to him personally … Let's get this over with quickly!"
