Chapter 152: Uncle, Not Dad
Chapter 152: Uncle, Not Dad
"What's his name? Tell me, what's the name of the person who revealed the inside information to you?" Wen Qihe asked after a moment of silence.
Wen Caiyuan didn't say anything. She picked up a business card on the coffee table in front of her and handed it to her uncle. This was the business card that An Rushong had given her before.
Wen Qihe took the business card, looked at the content on it, frowned, and seemed to be thinking. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly took out his briefcase, opened the zipper, took out a newspaper, and took out a pair of reading glasses and put them on.
"An Rushong An Rushong.NGNNGN" Wen Qihe muttered to himself while flipping through the newspaper.
After a while, he locked onto a report in the newspaper. He first moved the newspaper a little further away and looked at it carefully. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe. Maybe he really didn't lie to you."
"What's the matter, Qihe?" Wen Caiyuan's father had not said much before, but now he finally couldn't help but ask.
Wen Qihe glanced at his brother, without saying anything, and handed the newspaper over. However, Wen Caiyuan, who was standing next to him, snatched the newspaper away first.
"7500 million? US dollars!" Wen Caiyuan exclaimed softly after quickly reading the news in the newspaper, "SoftBank Asia's valuation? Is it the SoftBank in Japan?"
Wen Qihe took the newspaper and handed it to his brother again, then nodded and said, "Yes, to be precise, it is a subsidiary of Japan's SoftBank, but the nature is the same."
Wen Caiyuan pursed her lips, and the expression on her small face, which was the size of a palm, kept changing.
"What does he mean? Why did he reveal this information to you?" Wen Qihe asked with a frown.
"He said we could work together," Wen Caiyuan seemed a little distracted and said absent-mindedly.
"How to cooperate?" Wen Qihe asked.
Wen Caiyuan shook her head. She had doubts about An Rusong before, and he obviously had no intention of having an in-depth conversation with her. "He said that I could make good use of this information to get rid of the trouble caused by this attack. As for further cooperation, he said that we can talk about it after I trust him enough."
Wen Qihe fell silent again. After about half a minute, he asked, "What do you think?"
"What else can you think about?" Before Wen Caiyuan could speak, her father spoke first, "None of these rich people are good people. If they give you one dollar, they will squeeze 100 dollars out of you. I am sure that this An Rusong has bad intentions towards you."
I have to say that the old man's words were very insightful. He could be said to have directly exposed An Rushong's thoughts.
But his daughter hardly listened to his sensible words. Wen Caiyuan's mind was full of the content reported in the newspaper: that handsome man, um, the man who saved her life, turned out to be the chairman of a company with a market value of nearly 100 billion won. 100 billion won, what is that? How much property has she accumulated after working so hard for so many years?
Originally in Wen Caiyuan's eyes, An Rushong was a very charming man. Now that she got this information, the charm of that tall and handsome man in her mind simply soared.
Therefore, in response to her father's reminder, she simply said, "At least he gave me a piece, didn't he?"
With just this one sentence, Wen Caiyuan's father was speechless. There was no way. When he was young, he didn't know how to be self-disciplined. When Wen Caiyuan's mother was still alive, he was an out-and-out gambler. It was not until his wife passed away that he really gave up gambling.
In fact, for a gambler, it is really not easy to really quit gambling, but for Wen Caiyuan, her father is always a gambler no matter what time he is, and the conflict between father and daughter actually comes from this. Compared with her father, Wen Caiyuan is more willing to listen to her uncle's advice, because in her eyes, her uncle is a real intellectual, much more reliable than her gambler father.
However, what Wen Caiyuan did not understand was that the higher a person's cultural level and the more he knew, the more complicated his thoughts tended to be, because he had more problems to think about, more concerns, and more things he wanted.
Wen Qihe is such a person. He has been frustrated all his life and has long seen through the nature of South Korea. In this country, everything is fake, only power and money are real. Unfortunately, although decades of economic development have brought high incomes to Koreans, the path for ordinary people to climb up has become narrower and narrower. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the profession of prosecutor. Before President Roh came to power, children from ordinary families still had the opportunity to pass the prosecutor's position through hard work, thus achieving a leap in life.
However, after taking office, President Roh, who came from a grassroots background, quickly amended the relevant laws and regulations, explicitly requiring that those who could take the judicial examination must be graduates of law schools. Those who did not have such learning experience were not even qualified to take the judicial examination.
But just like the situation that An Rubin faced at the beginning, the tuition fees of any law school are not affordable for ordinary people. These laws and regulations are equivalent to blocking the path for ordinary people to become prosecutors from the root.
Therefore, Wen Qihe had already seen through the world during the more than 30 years of wasted life. As an ordinary person, if he could not kneel down and serve as a dog for those high-ranking upper-class people, he would basically have no chance to change his destiny.
Looking at the information recorded by Cai Yuan in the little notebook, those really rich people even know that the stock market will plummet in the middle of the month, but those financial programs and financial reports are still singing in unison that a new bull market is about to come.
Who would believe these reports? Of course, ordinary people like them. After all, Wen Qihe himself was speculating in stocks, and seeing that the market was very good during this period, he invested most of his life savings in it. Now it seems that hehe!
Therefore, he was in favor of his niece's cooperation with An Rusong. An Rusong was a billionaire worth nearly 100 million US dollars. What could he covet from his niece? Her money? Don't be ridiculous. His niece's family background might be quite rich in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of others, it was probably not worth the trouble to calculate.
Covet your niece's beauty? Well, your niece is indeed good-looking, and many neighbors and acquaintances praise her as a mini version of Kim Tae-hee, but so what? Do those billionaires lack women? Even if they really covet your niece's beauty, it's not a bad thing, it's just sleeping with a man, it's only a matter of time. Can your niece find a billionaire husband in the future? If sleeping with a man can change your fate and become a superior person, then why not do it?
In fact, in Wen Qihe's opinion, the real purpose of An Rushong looking for his niece was probably because he was attracted by his niece's identity and her good reputation in the shaman circle.
As a veteran in the journalism industry, Wen Qihe naturally knows how superstitious Korean politicians are. To put it bluntly, behind almost every politician there is a consultant in feng shui and divination. Therefore, there are many chaebols who use shamans to get closer to certain specific politicians.
Look at An Rusong's identity. He is still very young. A few months ago, he was penniless, but now he has become a multi-millionaire. Young people like him are often very ambitious and motivated. After mastering wealth that ordinary people can hardly imagine, he will naturally want to gain more power and rely on the assistance of power to further expand and become stronger.
But as a "nouveau riche", An Rushong obviously lacked channels to enter the political circle, so he could only think of some less orthodox methods, such as starting from Cai Yuan.
Of course, this was just Wen Qihe's guess, and he had no way of determining the exact situation. But what he could determine was that this was a rare opportunity for Caiyuan, and even for their entire family.
However, this kind of supportive attitude and his true thoughts could not be expressed in front of his brother, or even in front of his niece. Such things could only be expressed indirectly.
"Caiyuan, don't talk to your father like that. He is doing this for your own good." Wen Qihe coughed and criticized his niece lightly. Then he said to his brother, "Brother, you should also pay attention to your attitude. This kind of hatred of the rich is not good for Caiyuan's future development. After all, it's time for her to consider issues such as marriage."
He paused and continued, "The reason why I want to ask Caiyuan what she thinks is mainly because Caiyuan is the only one who has come into contact with An Rusong. We have no idea what kind of person he is. We can only let Caiyuan judge for herself."
"Caiyuan, let me ask you the same question I just asked. What do you think?" Turning to Wen Caiyuan, he asked again.
Wen Caiyuan shook her head, and seemed to be quite hesitant. After waiting for about ten seconds, she bit her lip and said, "I don't know much about him, but he saved me. In addition, I have a hunch that he seems to be able to change my fate."
"Premonition?" Wen Caiyuan's father frowned. He used to believe in premonitions, but after losing too much money, he never believed in it again.
"Haha, Caiyuan, premonitions are very mysterious. Sometimes they are simply unreliable," Wen Qihe glanced at his brother and said, "but sometimes, they are very accurate. The key lies in your attitude."
The reason why he said this was because he could hear that his niece was inclined to cooperate with An Rushong. In this case, he didn't need to give any more advice. It would be enough to encourage her to do what she wanted.
