Extra 2: The People at the Top
"Team leader, the elevator is installed."
At the airport, Chu Yuan came to Chu Lingyun. Chu Lingyun was accompanying his parents. After the last serious illness, Chu Yuanchen was not in good health and was sitting in a special wheelchair.
However, Chu Yuanchen's face was excited, and his wife with white hair beside him grabbed his hand with the same expression.
They never thought that after coming to the United States, they would go home again after more than 30 years. They were both in their 80s and once thought it would be difficult to go back in this life.
After all, the son's status is different.
Unexpectedly, in their old age, they finally got the chance to go home.
"Okay, let's get on the plane."
Chu Lingyun nodded gently. At this time, he was in his 60s, but he was well maintained. He looked like he was in his 40s and others would believe it. He personally pushed the wheelchair and took his mother's hand to the elevator of the plane.
Chu Yuanchen had a bad leg and had an operation 20 years ago. He couldn't walk up the stairs. The plane had to transfer. There was no boarding bridge at the airport passing by. In order to let his parents get off the plane and have a good rest, Chu Lingyun simply customized an electric escalator for the plane at a high price, specifically for his father to use.
Chu Yuan and his wife also boarded the plane.
They also hadn't been back for many years, but in the early 1960s, they secretly returned to China once, which was better than Chu Yuanchen and his wife.
The market value of the pharmaceutical factory increased, and the couple who owned 5% of the shares naturally increased their net worth.
But they couldn't compare with Niu Qiu.
At this time, Niu Qiu was not in the United States, but in Japan.
The Niu Qiu who opened a small TV station to sell things and a TV factory had already been reborn.
After Chu Lingyun entered the financial industry, Niu Qiu followed closely. At first, he was just a small-scale business. After he had a deeper understanding of the financial industry, Niu Qiu started his own investment business as if he had opened his mind.
He bought a lot of stocks and invested in many companies.
These investments brought him great returns.
Japan's economic development has been growing rapidly in recent years, and Niu Qiu has set his sights on it. He left domestic affairs to his wife and went to Japan to handle it himself. In just ten years, he made billions of dollars in profits in Japan.
Niu Qiu's total net worth has already exceeded 10 billion.
Moreover, he has diversified his investments and has many hidden investments. No one knows how much money the couple has now except him and his wife.
Including Chu Lingyun.
But in contrast, Shen Hanwen is the one who lives the easiest.
Shen Hanwen has no concept of making money, but under the forced guidance of Chu Lingyun and Niuqiu, he made billions of dollars.
Later, Shen Hanwen refused to do any business with him.
After Chu Lingyun had nothing to do, he began his own chic life and traveled around the world.
About 22 years ago, he went to Europe first.
This kid has not married yet, but I don’t know what got him thinking. After traveling around the world for three years, he brought back three children quietly.
All of them are his.
And the mothers of the three children are not the same person.
At that time, Niuqiu was shocked. He circled around Shen Hanwen several times, asked him many questions, and even grabbed his face and rubbed it constantly to see if it was someone else pretending to be him.
After so many years, Shen Hanwen has become even worse.
Now he has eighteen children, ten daughters and eight sons, which is simply a small United Nations.
He prepared a trust fund for each child to ensure their future use. Anyway, Shen Hanwen is rich and he has few relatives. As for friends, his friends are richer than him.
This money is just right for the children.
Over the years, Shen Hanwen has traveled around the world for several times. Even so, his money has not decreased, but increased.
Instead of investing to make money, Shen Hanwen entrusted his money to Chu Lingyun's fund company to help him manage it. He does not buy airplanes or houses, and the interest earned is simply not enough to spend.
So much so that Chu Lingyun sighed that the most inconspicuous Shen Hanwen turned out to be the final winner in life.
Shen Hanwen is also not in the United States. A week ago, he sent a telegram saying that he was skiing in Switzerland. God knows where he is now and which country's girl is hiding in his bed.
Shen Hanwen is not married, but he has several times more children than Chu Lingyun and others combined.
Really, you can't judge a person by his appearance.
The plane finally took off. Although the speed of the plane has increased a lot now, it still takes more than ten hours to return home from the United States.
Including the time for transfer and rest, it takes almost a day.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shanghai Airport.
There are not many flights in China now, and those who can take the plane are not ordinary people. However, the management of the airport today is obviously stricter than usual, and there are even many more soldiers.
Zuo Xuan, who has retired for a long time, is also there.
He received a task from the organization to help receive someone. This person has a deep relationship with him. There are not many people in China who have a relationship with this person now, so he needs his help.
Zuo Xuan has never refused the tasks assigned by the organization.
What he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the airport, he still didn't know who he was going to pick up this time.
Noticing the solemnity of the airport, Zuo Xuan understood that the person who came this time must not be an ordinary person.
"Uncle Zuo."
While sitting there waiting for someone, a voice came, Zuo Xuan turned around and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Xiansheng, why are you here too?"
The person who came was Xu Xiansheng, the son of Xu Zhanli, who now works in the Ministry of Commerce.
Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix. As the son of Xu Zhanli, Xu Xiansheng is better than his master. He has been doing business since he was a child and is smarter than his father, so he suffered a lot.
Now that a new era has arrived, Xu Xiansheng's hardships have finally come to an end.
Xu Zhanli was a little younger than Zuo Xuan, but he couldn't survive until now and left ten years ago. Zuo Xuan and Xu Zhanli have always had a good relationship. He took good care of Xu Zhanli's family and was Xu Xiansheng's most respected senior.
"I came here with the minister. We have an important mission this time?"
Xu Xiansheng whispered, and Zuo Xuan nodded slightly. Xiansheng was very smart and good at negotiating. He had helped the organization negotiate a lot before, but he just didn’t know who was coming this time. Not only did he ask him to help with the reception, but also the Ministry of Commerce people also came.
Not many people came from the Ministry of Commerce. Zuo Xuan narrowed his eyes quickly. He had already noticed that in addition to the Ministry of Commerce, there were also people from the security group.
Who is here, so grand?
"Xian Sheng, do you know who is coming this time?"
Zuo Xuan couldn't help but ask, while Xu Xiansheng shook his head: "I don't know. I didn't know until I arrived in Shanghai that I would come to the airport to pick him up."
"Just wait, whoever it is will find out soon."
Zuo Xuan didn't even know when the plane would arrive. Everyone was waiting at the airport. More than an hour later, a plane finally landed at the airport.
The security at the airport became tighter, and Zuo Xuan was brought in by the staff. He would accompany the leader to greet the distinguished guests later.
"Dad, Mom, we're in Shanghai."
On the plane, Chu Lingyun whispered to her parents, and Chu Yuanchen opened his eyes and looked out the window.
In fact, he didn't sleep. He was just shy of being close to home and didn't dare to look outside.
I don’t know how many times I have dreamed of returning to China, but today it finally came true.
"Wanrong, we are going home."
Chu Yuanchen opened his eyes, first looked out the window, then took his wife's hand and spoke excitedly, his voice was trembling a little, and his eyes were even redder.
"Yes, we are home, we are home."
He Wanrong is no better than her own man. She is over eighty years old. She thought she would never be able to go home. Suddenly her greatest hope came true. No one could control this feeling.
Fortunately, Chu Lingyun understood their situation and kept saying hello in advance to let them know that they could come back. Even so, they were still very excited.
The doctors on the plane were very nervous and always prepared.
"Dad, Mom, let's go down."
Chu Ya walked over, and Chu Yuan followed his wife. The couple were both very young and had grandchildren. They were equally nervous at this time.
Not because of returning to China, but because I am worried about the two old people.
After all, they are too old.
"Okay, get down."
Chu Yuanchen nodded first. A car had already arrived under the plane, and many people were waiting.
Chu Lingyun personally pushed the wheelchair and entered the corridor bridge from the plane. This was Hongqiao Airport. The airport at this time was very small, just like a certain Internet celebrity airport in later generations, but at least the waiting room was much better than the Internet celebrity airport.
No one knows that in the future this place will be an international, modern large-scale airport, extremely busy.
Outside, there were only a dozen people waiting.
Xu Xiansheng is not here. He is here to help negotiate business. Now is not the time for him to come forward, but he must follow him at any time and be there immediately when he is needed to avoid delaying things.
LX also sits, he cannot stand for long periods of time.
He only got up when someone came out.
The first one to come out was Chu Yuanchen, and Chu Lingyun pushed the wheelchair at the front.
As soon as he stood up, Zuo Xuan saw someone walking over.
He froze there for a moment.
He even held up his reading glasses and looked at it in disbelief.
This time he saw clearly that the person who came out was Chu Lingyun.
The last time he saw Chu Lingyun was during the peace negotiations after the liberation of Peiping, which was more than thirty years ago. Even after so many years, in his eyes, Chu Lingyun has not changed much, at best, he has changed a lot. What looked like a teenager turned into a person in his forties or fifties.
Just more mature.
In fact, Chu Lingyun is already over sixty years old. At that time, he was only a few years younger than Zuo Xuan.
Chu Lingyun was not walking fast and also noticed the people in front of him.
However, he did not recognize the left hand.
Zuo Xuan has changed even more than he did. He has white hair and a lot of wrinkles. Chu Lingyun's memory is very good, but he is not able to recognize someone at a glance if he has not seen him for more than thirty years.
Unless Zuo Xuan is like him, his appearance has not changed much from before.
"Mr. Chu, welcome home."
The comrade in charge of reception came to Chu Lingyun first, and Zuo Xuan was a little slower than him.
"Thanks."
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Zuo Xuan not only recognized Chu Lingyun, but also Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan is also in his sixties. He is younger than Chu Lingyun, but his appearance at this time appears to be ten years older than Chu Lingyun.
He was a baby face at the beginning.
"Team leader."
Zuo Xuan finally came over and greeted him softly. Chu Lingyun was stunned when she heard his name. Only the old people in the war team would call him that.
Except for Loach, Shen Hanwen, and Chu Yuan, he hadn't heard anyone call him that for a long time.
"Levorotary?"
Chu Lingyun recognized Zuo Xuan. Chu Lingyun's ability to apply makeup has not deteriorated. On the contrary, he has also set up a cosmetics company. He has many factories around the world. The scale is not small, and the assets have already exceeded 100 million.
People who know how to put on makeup have a deep memory of their face shape.
He hadn't thought of it before, but after noticing Zuo Xuan's facial features, he immediately recognized this old subordinate.
"It's me, you recognized me."
Zuo Xuan nodded excitedly. There weren't many people who could make him excited now.
Among the reception staff, only the person in charge knew the relationship between Zuo Xuan and Chu Lingyun. The others looked at them in surprise. It was obvious that Chu Lingyun was younger, and some people even believed that he was a generation younger than Zuo Xuan. They didn't expect that the old man would be so respectful to a middle-aged man, and very excited.
"We have worked together for many years, of course I can recognize you."
Chu Lingyun smiled. He hadn't heard from Zuo Xuan for many years. Now he was really happy to see his old subordinate.
"I'm old, but I didn't expect you to be so young."
Zuo Xuan said with emotion. Compared with Chu Lingyun, he looked old now.
"What's young? If you want to say young, we were really young when we were lurking in Shanghai and fighting the Japanese."
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. He returned to China this time to send his parents back. In the future, his parents would not go to the United States again. The house here was taken down by Ke Gong for him a long time ago.
Chu Lingyun has entrusted someone to take care of it for these years.
Before coming back this time, the old house was renovated again as it was, except that the original two-story building became a three-story building. The third floor is mainly a terrace, which is convenient for parents to bask in the sun.
An elevator was specially installed in the house, and a few rooms were kept in the old state. In fact, it has changed a lot.
There are rooms that are kept in the old state for parents to feel the atmosphere of the past. They have lived in the United States for many years. If they really go back to the past, they may not be able to adapt.
In addition to the house, Chu Lingyun will also leave a team of doctors and nannies.
To prevent parents from encountering any unexpected situations here and not being able to get timely treatment.
It is impossible to be completely different from the United States now.
But the most basic problems can be guaranteed.
Before coming this time, Chu Lingyun gave his parents a comprehensive physical examination. Except for being a little older and having some common old age diseases, his parents are in good health.
At their age, no matter where they are, they can't afford to get seriously ill.
The most important thing for them is their mood.
If they are in a good mood, they can live a few more years.
They will definitely feel better when they return to their hometown. Chu Yuan and Chu Ya will stay in China to accompany their parents for a while. In the future, Chu Lingyun can come back many times if there is a chance, especially after his parents come back, he will have more reasons to return.
He has also built a lot of relationships in the United States over the years, which can be regarded as jumping out of a level. If it is not a particularly serious problem, no one can do anything to him.
In a capitalist country, capital is the greatest power.
In the United States, Chu Lingyun can barely be regarded as entering the ranks of the top people.
