Tao Liangchen

Chapter 21 Clarification, Master Jiang

The affairs of wealthy families are never simple.

For example, Su Yehao's mother clearly intended to bring Zhao Yimeng over to be her daughter-in-law.

She also took the opportunity, combined with the rumors that were currently spreading like wildfire, to advise Su Yehao to keep a low profile in the future.

If the two families could truly marry, it would be almost equivalent to the merger of two medium-sized listed companies, which would undoubtedly be very important.

However, since Su Yehao was currently rumored to be having an affair with his English teacher, it was really embarrassing for his mother to bring this up at the dinner table before. She thought about waiting for the rumors to die down before finding another opportunity.

Su Yehao had just seen Zhao Yimeng during an elective class.

He still thought that the short-haired girl from the Zhao family was beautiful, but he had almost completely changed as a person and was no longer as infatuated with her as before.

Therefore, after hearing this, Su Yehao just shook his head and replied:

"Forget it, it's better to let feelings take their course. There's no foundation between us, and even if we're together, we won't be happy. Besides, Zhao Yimeng isn't interested in me and never gives me a good look. I'm still young and won't consider marriage for the time being."

His mother immediately got angry and scolded with a smile:

"Who was it who called me to ask for help before? Why have you changed your mind so quickly? There aren't many good girls who are well-matched in terms of social status. If you're too late, don't cry in the future. Don't bring any models or stars home. I get angry just looking at them."

"It's enough if the two sides have similar ideas, there's no need to be well-matched in terms of social status, right?"

After Su Yehao retorted, he added, "Making money is not difficult, but it's not easy either. I should be able to support myself, and happiness is the most important thing."

"Rely on you to support yourself? Then I would definitely burn incense to my ancestors and thank God!"

Su's father's face was full of disbelief, and he continued, "I'd be very satisfied if you spent less money, but you're right about one thing, business in the mainland has indeed been booming in recent years. Many friends have made money doing business there, and it's not bad to study in the mainland, which can just save me some money."

Pretending not to hear the sarcasm.

Su Yehao took the opportunity to say:

"Hong Kong's property prices have reached their peak and may fall at any time. Why not cash out as soon as possible and use the money to hoard land in the mainland? As far as I know, a group of Hong Kong developers have already started to take action, which is obviously a good opportunity to buy low, especially in the core areas of first-tier cities such as Pengcheng, Shanghai, and Sijiucheng."

"I've thought about it, but I don't know enough about the situation yet. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to go to the mainland to conduct an on-the-spot investigation of the business environment, but unfortunately I don't have time..."

Hearing his father say that he didn't have time.

In Su Yehao's ears, it must be a lie. Not being optimistic about the market prospects was the real reason.

These days, most people think that the mainland is a poor place and not suitable for doing business.

However, the fact that others are not optimistic about the mainland market is obviously an opportunity for Su Yehao. He may be able to show his talents in the future, provided that he has accumulated enough capital first.

As for now.

He was just a high school student, and the small amount of money in his hands was not enough to be impressive.

He was wondering if he could find a way to get some money from his parents as start-up capital.

When Su's father was full, he took his son's car and went home.

The couple had been separated for many years.

Su Yehao's mother had another house in the casino and was unwilling to see the second and third concubines and others again, so she got into the car alone and left, with a driver responsible for taking her...

The next morning.

Su Yehao's mother personally picked him up and went to the conference room of her own hotel.

In the face of interviews with several media outlets, Su Yehao, together with Principal Song and teacher Linda Yun, publicly explained the whole story clearly.

His mother also publicly stated that she had already called the police and would then sue the math teacher Yang Zibo for spreading rumors.

Public relations expenses had already been taken care of.

If nothing unexpected happened, the interview would be published in today's evening newspaper to clarify the rumors.

Su Yehao had never dealt with such things, but his mother managed several private hospitals and had constant troubles throughout the year, so she was very familiar with public relations matters.

Linda Yun was not famous, and Su Yehao was not famous enough.

In the face of such after-dinner gossip, a simple explanation was enough, and there shouldn't be a big problem.

Principal Song also promised to post a notice at the school gate to clear Su Yehao and Linda Yun's names.

With a vexing matter preliminarily resolved, Linda Yun was in a good mood.

During tea with Su Yehao and his mother, she agreed to work part-time as a tutor for a period of time, giving Su Yehao private English lessons.

His mother had things to do, and Linda Yun also had things to do.

Not long after the press conference ended, they each dispersed and left.

——————————————————

Weekend holiday.

That afternoon, Su Yehao went to the beach to stroll around, and in the evening he was invited out by Zhugan and Baoya Jun to have dinner together.

The next day, he was idle at home from early in the morning, only accompanying his father to the golf course in the evening.

Su's family golf course.

Located at the southern end of Taipa Island, it is equipped with a resort club with an outdoor swimming pool.

Probably because he discovered that Su Yehao was starting to be interested in business, his father specially took him out to see the world.

The topics of conversation varied widely.

From Hong Kong's property market to the future of the gambling industry in the casino, to horse racing, who had more illegitimate children, who had made a fortune, and who had chosen to immigrate, it was more like a group of old men chatting and gossiping, without any important topics.

During this period, Su Yehao saw Jiang Yu's father.

This advisor named Jiang Ziheng also had some strength. Over the years, he had helped Su's father a lot.

At this moment.

Su Yehao approached Advisor Jiang and asked, "What's the situation with the several properties my family has in Hong Kong? I asked my dad yesterday, but he refused to say much, always treating me like a child."

"No way, Young Master Su, even you have heard the rumors? Actually, those properties are still making money overall, but we originally planned to hold them back and sell them at a high price, but we accidentally missed the best opportunity. Now the prices have fallen back a bit. Don't worry, there's no problem!"

Different from Jiang Yu's cold and calm demeanor, her father, who was an advisor, was obviously glib.

He was animated when he spoke, and looked very slick.

"I know this. What I want to ask is, what exactly is going on with the partner who plans to withdraw his investment?" Su Yehao continued to ask.

Advisor Jiang said:

"Fei Zai Qian, you've met him before. He's quite reliable. He just celebrated his 60th birthday last month. He was fined a large sum of money for tax evasion last year, and it's said that he's waiting to raise money to pay the fine. His mining business in Malaysia also ran into problems, so he's in a hurry to withdraw his money. All his shares are being sold at only 80% of the market price. Many people, including your father, are tempted."

Su Yehao's heart stirred slightly, and he quickly asked, "Is my dad already planning to take over?"

Advisor Jiang shook his head:

"Not necessarily. The main thing is that it's difficult to raise such a large sum of money. Even if he wants to eat it, he can only eat a part of it. I'm afraid he will have to find other people to cooperate with, and strive to push the price down further. Besides, the Hong Kong property business is not easy to do now, and your dad is still considering..."
