In one's life, there would always be a few moments of madness.
Tang Wenpeng had heard of this sentence a long time ago, but he did not have any actual experience.
For example, his hot-blooded youth and passionate love. But now that he thought about it, it did not reach the point of madness. Rationality and calmness had always been the qualities that he was most proud of. Since he was young, his life had been smooth sailing. He lived in a good family, and his grades had always been at the top of the list. He was the pride of his family and relatives. After he left university, he played around for two years and entered the workforce. He successfully obtained an enviable position. His own ability was also outstanding. After several job hops, he was promoted step by step. Just like that, his life had been smooth sailing.
He was forty years old this year, married once, and had a child. This was probably the only place in his life that was not smooth sailing, because he had divorced his wife a few years ago.
Of course, it was not to the extent that it was not smooth sailing. He and his wife had a marriage model of equal social status. After they met, they had a good relationship for a few years, and then naturally got married. A few years ago, they naturally got divorced. It could be said that they parted on good terms. They were both people of high intellectual status, and gentlemen broke off their friendship and did not speak ill of each other. Even now, they still contacted each other during festivals.
This kind of experience did not have much impact on his life. Although the child was his after the divorce, and a single father occasionally had some small problems, it was his own child, and this was also his responsibility. He was very clear about this kind of thing, and there was nothing to complain about.
His work was still smooth sailing. Although the competition in the business world was fierce, relying on his experience and ability, there was not much of a problem. He was now the director of Wanting Electronics Group, the largest in Jianghai, with an annual salary of tens of millions, and now there was a continuous trend of rising.
Status, income, thoughtfulness and maturity because of the divorce, and the ability to take care of a child and take care of the child and work well, such a man was almost the ideal choice for most women. For young and inexperienced girls, he was a mature and considerate uncle. For mature women with a lot of experience, he was steady and reliable. There had been many women who had been good to him, but for him, since the divorce, things in this regard seemed to have become less important. In fact, from the beginning, he did not take it very seriously. Although he had expectations for a lifetime of happiness during the love stage before marriage, there was not much psychological fluctuation when he divorced. Of course, there was still sadness, but at least it proved that he had never taken these things very seriously.
Some time ago, he had tried to have a relationship with a classmate in university. She was a campus belle, and he had a good impression of her. However, after interacting with her for a period of time, he realized that those feelings had faded. He was even a little confused about why he liked this woman in the first place, so he broke up with her not long after they started dating. He took the initiative to propose it. Later, when he saw the woman cry, he did not feel much in his heart. He just wondered why there were people in the world who took these things so seriously.
The older a person was, the more he saw, and the more ordinary the world was. He had been a calm and self-controlled person since he was young, and he had always used this calm and self-controlled mentality to overcome many difficulties and overcome many things.
Now, naturally, he could still party merrily with others and chat with others, but his cultivation of the mind had become more and more mature. The world was just like that. He had never experienced things like the uncontrollable heartbeat and insomnia in novels. Even if he faced a major crisis in the business world, he could still sleep well. The next day, he would wake up with his best spirit and be ready for battle. Of course, he could understand that some people would have such experiences and feelings, but he probably would not have them anymore. However, this idea was overturned half a year ago.
Last winter, his son, Xiao Jun, suddenly had a high fever because he went out for an outing with his classmates. He was hurried to a nearby clinic by his classmates. When he arrived, he found that it was a small clinic by the roadside.
In terms of overall feeling, this clinic was simply ridiculous. The land and decoration were quite good, but the problem was that such land and decoration would inevitably lead to very high expenses. The whole clinic only had one doctor and two nurses, and the doctor and the nurses looked to be in their twenties. How could this give people a reliable feeling? It was simply ridiculous.
As a businessman, it was difficult for him to accept the existence of this kind of clinic. It was simply like something out of a fairy tale. And as a family member of a patient, his first feeling was naturally to take his son to a big hospital as soon as possible.
However, his son's condition seemed to be under control with the intravenous drip, so he finally stayed. His initial idea was to go to a big hospital the next day, but in the end, he still came here the next day.
He was attracted to a female nurse.
For him, this was a very strange feeling.
First of all, the age of the doctor in this clinic determined that there would not be many patients. The two nurses were very beautiful. One of them was tall, with a ponytail, and looked somewhat valiant. She was reading a children's book and telling a story with a girl of two or three years old. It seemed that she was not doing her job properly — that was her daughter. The doctor's surname was Gu, and he was about twenty years old. He did not look very stable, but he could use the right medicine.
Only the other nurse was very beautiful. She had a gentle and quiet temperament, and the kind of smile she showed when she worked in the small clinic made him … feel an indescribable feeling.
That night, he had some insomnia. The next day, he took his son to the clinic for an injection. On the third day, he went for a check-up. Xiaojun's illness had already recovered. Only then did he know that the female nurse was Japanese. Her name was Kaoru Tsukiike. What a nice name … The other two nurses in the clinic were not very reliable. The female nurse called Shasha occasionally disappeared with her daughter. The young doctor even read novels and comics in the consultation room, the kind that was extremely childish.
Only Shao Tsukiike, who took care of everything inside and outside. She cleaned the room and gave injections to the child. When she was free, she sat quietly by the side. She was as beautiful as a pure daffodil.
The doctor, who was said to be married, would occasionally harass her, which was really unpleasant.
However, after the third day of Xiaojun's illness, he did not need to go again. The clinic was far from where he lived, and it was not on the way to the company. There was no reason for him to go there. It was probably destined that this was just a casual acquaintance between passers-by.
He decided to calm down and concentrate on his work.
However, after only three days, he inexplicably went to visit a friend whom he had not seen for a long time. That friend also had an inexplicable feeling. They were not close, and they did not contact each other unless there was something between them.
On the way back, he stopped by the clinic. Only then did he realize that this was his main purpose.
What a joke. He had only brought his son here to see a doctor for three days, and they had not even spoken more than twenty sentences. Ten of them were the most common ones, like finding a topic to talk about the illness. What kind of mood was this? It was as if he was an immature child …
He felt that he had suddenly become immature. After thinking for a long time in the car, he finally gritted his teeth and got out of the car to say hello.
Since he had done it this time, his future actions would be clear. He would just follow the pattern of pursuing a woman. This was not something embarrassing. He had been in the business world for so many years that he did not feel embarrassed in anything he did. A man pursuing a woman was even more open and aboveboard. However, what made him feel embarrassed and difficult to explain was his own feelings.
Then he gradually understood the meaning of that sentence.
Because that kind of feeling affected his work and life, he could not sleep at night. Occasionally, he would worry about his gains and losses. In the morning, he would suddenly want to get off work early and go to the clinic to see her.
In the past, when he was in a relationship, he did similar things. After the divorce, he had a child to take care of. Sometimes, he would put his work aside to attend parent-teacher meetings and arrange three meals for his child. However, he had always done things in an orderly manner. After finishing one thing, he would think about the next. He had never delayed too many things.
This was the first time he felt this kind of feeling that he could not control all of a sudden.
It had been forty years, and he had suddenly become like a little kid. Furthermore … he didn't even understand her at all. They didn't have any deep interactions or conversations. In other words, if he analyzed it calmly, he was actually attracted by her appearance, and then became infatuated with her.
It could be said that it was love at first sight, or it could be said that it was fate.
Yes, there would always be such a time in life when you suddenly saw someone. Perhaps she was not the most outstanding person, but suddenly there was a spark … That was what others said.
And of course, as time went on, he finally did not know nothing about her.
If necessary, he had always been able to make people feel his sincerity. He could talk to the unreliable Doctor Gu and talk to the people nearby.
The female nurse named Kaoru Tsukiike had been in the clinic for many years. It was said that she did not have a Japanese family. Most people said that Doctor Gu's family took her in because she spent the holidays with Doctor Gu and his family. Doctor Gu's wife was said to be a pianist, but of course, she was not famous. She played in a restaurant to make money.
They talked to each other once. She seemed to be a very reliable woman, much more reliable than her husband. She also had a good relationship with Kaoru.
Kaoru was not married and did not socialize much. She usually stayed in the small clinic during the day.
She stayed at Doctor Gu's house. In the morning, they would go jogging together. In the afternoon, she would go to the small restaurant next door with Doctor Gu for lunch. In the evening, they would go back together. This unreliable Doctor Gu often slacked off. Occasionally, he would close the small clinic for a day. It was said that sometimes, Kaoru would help take care of the children. Sometimes, they would go out to have fun together, but she always followed Doctor Gu's family.
She did not have a boyfriend, but she had no shortage of suitors. Some of them were naturally immature young men, but there were also successful people like him. However, Kaoru never agreed to any of them. Some people said that Kaoru had an affair with Doctor Gu, but in his opinion, it was probably just a rumor.
After asking around, there was another rumor. It said that Kaoru worked in the clinic and the doctor did not pay her a salary.
When he thought about it, this kind of thing was probably fake as well. What era was it now? How could such a thing happen? He occasionally observed this side of the clinic. From the girl's smile, he could feel the girl's satisfaction. She probably really loved her job as a nurse. Unfortunately, it was in a clinic like this.
This was a girl who was too easily satisfied and happy. She was the kind of girl he wanted. This was the most certain message he had received in the past six months. He hoped that this girl's happiness would be given by him.
Even though there was no lack of elites among Kaoru's suitors, he did not think that he would lose to anyone.
Of course, using the word girl as an adjective might be too young, but he still had no idea how old Kaoru was. Furthermore, she looked like a girl.
However, the night before yesterday, he received an outrageous piece of news.
Kaoru did not even have a passport in China. Even though she was taken in by Doctor Gu's family, she did not receive a single cent of salary.
This kind of news was unbelievable. However, it came from the mouth of a child. In this way, the credibility of the words that he heard when he was asking people for information suddenly increased.
The more he interacted with this world, the more he felt that life was sometimes more mysterious than a novel. Anything could really happen.
Of course, he would not be so sure that Kaoru was living a slave's life because Kaoru was happy. However, it was possible that she was too easily satisfied.
Right now, he really wanted to find someone to investigate this matter. However, it was only yesterday, and he already felt a little restless.
There were some things that he really needed to do and verify. Even if he was wrong, it was nothing. If he could prove that Kaoru did not have a passport and was being controlled here, he would do something to save her. Even though she might not be able to return to Japan, he could always let her live in China with more freedom.
The more he thought about this kind of thing, the more he felt that it was possible. If it was not for something in her heart, why would a girl in the prime of her life stay in this small clinic all day, quietly refusing to accept anyone's pursuit? If he could solve this mystery and help her untie the knot in her heart … He felt that he had finally found the key that no one else had found.
Looking at the location of the clinic, although this Doctor Gu did not appear to be extraordinary on the surface, he was probably someone with a background. Otherwise, the house in that area would have been sold for development a long time ago. How could it survive until now?
If he had a certain background, he would naturally have a way to shelter an illegal immigrant from Japan without being found out by the police.
In this case, he had to find a deeper and stronger background than him.
He estimated the chips that both sides had. Based on the understanding that he had over the past six months, it might not be that difficult.
In short, he would first use his connections to arrange for the police to do an investigation and directly send someone to check the other party's passport.
If she really did not have a passport, he could use legal means to get her out of the other party's control. Then, he would have to let her stay in China and not be repatriated. He could even give her an official identity. This was not difficult for him to do.
If she had a passport and an official identity, it would not be strange for the police to check it. If he did not come forward, he would take it as an extra worry and put down his worries.
He had basically decided on this plan when he went home the night before. Yesterday, he spent the whole day sorting it out and also found some connections to investigate the background of the small clinic. There was no result for a while, but he pulled up information about Gu Jiaming and found that he was related to the Huang Group, which was not very large.
The Huang Group was very influential in the early years. It was considered a good family business, but later it took a turn for the worse. For a period of time, it was even on the verge of bankruptcy. This Gu Jiaming might have known some people in the officialdom and had some small connections.
However, for Tang Wenpeng, the so-called Huang Group was nothing more than a floating cloud. Now, the Wanting Electronics Group was huge and was already a world-class enterprise. Although he was only one of the technical directors, his position in the Jianghai headquarters of the Wanting Electronics Group was almost the same as that of a branch company manager. He could also talk to Xu Yiting, who was the CEO of the company. His connections were very wide and he believed that it was not something that Gu Jiaming could compare with.
He had pursued her for half a year and did not show off any connections. This time, he subconsciously put away his thoughts of picking up girls and told himself that the most important thing was to do a good deed and save people who might not have a good life from the sea of suffering.
After that, he contacted a few people and consulted some friends in the public security and lawyer field. Then, through one of his friends, he got in touch with Deputy Director Ji of the Jianghai Entry and Exit Administration. They decided to meet at the hotel this afternoon to talk about this matter.
It was Sunday and the company was also on holiday. He had nothing to do and was the one who was treating, so he came a little early.
The place to treat was Jianghai's Old Garden Hotel. This was a long-established five-star hotel with a good reputation. Recently, a Western-style restaurant was opened on the top floor. It was said that Deputy Director Ji liked the American-style roasted lamb chop. When his friend was in charge of contacting him, he specially asked him to book a table here.
According to the general way of treating, if it was a more important matter, especially if it involved the collusion of officials and businessmen, a private room was indispensable. In addition, there were all kinds of bird's nest, shark's fin, and other things like that, which cost at least tens of thousands of yuan, although in such a matter, everyone had an ulterior motive.
However, the nature of this time was different. Tang Wenpeng's friend was now a member of the political and legal system, and was the best friend of Deputy Director Ji. Tang Wenpeng and Deputy Director Ji had met before. This time, it was said to be a request, but in fact, it was done as a meeting between friends. This way, they would be closer to each other. His friend also said yesterday that when it came to picking up girls, brothers had to help each other as much as possible.
That Deputy Director Ji also said happily and amiably, "Eating lamb chop tomorrow at noon?
Okay, I'm familiar with this, I'll treat you! "This kind of attitude probably meant that he was treating him as a friend in the same circle.
However, that being said, Tang Wenpeng naturally couldn't let him treat him. He took the elevator to the rooftop restaurant and booked a table.
It was raining today. Looking out from the rooftop restaurant's glass wall, the surrounding vision and atmosphere were clear and fresh. Presumably, everyone would be in a good mood.
He was stunned for a moment, then took the elevator down. When he walked out of the elevator on the first floor and passed the corner of the corridor, he accidentally bumped into a woman who was rummaging through her handbag. Suddenly, the things in her handbag fell to the ground.
Makeup box, cigarette box, lighter, key chain, several crystal chains, amethyst earrings … It was raining today. Even if the hotel wasn't very busy during the peak season, there were still a lot of water stains on the corridor leading to the hall. The woman hurriedly squatted down to pick them up. Tang Wenpeng also apologized and went to help her pick them up.
This woman was probably very rich. Just by looking at these things, Tang Wenpeng could roughly confirm this, because the things in sight were mostly quite expensive luxury goods. The handbag was even a limited edition 55 concept bag released by Yves Saint Laurent at the beginning of this year. Back then, when he wanted to give something to Xun, he had specially researched such things.
There were all kinds of trivial things. In addition to the obvious uses, there were all kinds of beautiful stones and strange and delicate small objects. When Tang Wenpeng handed the things to the woman, she nodded lightly and said thank you. It seemed that she didn't intend to pursue the responsibility of the collision.
When Tang Wenpeng finally raised his head and saw the woman's face, he was really stunned.
This person … This person is …
I've seen her several times before …
The woman in front of him seemed to be in her twenties. She had an oval face, wore a purple dress, and had shoulder-length hair. Her expression was gentle and indifferent, just like an ordinary person walking on the street. Amidst the gentleness, there was a hint of coldness. It seemed that she didn't notice him, nor did she care about the accident just now. She lowered her head and packed her bag, nodded at Tang Wenpeng, and walked towards the elevator.
Tang Wenpeng opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know if he should say anything. However, after taking a few steps, the woman suddenly turned her head and narrowed her eyes. She examined him with an expression of reminiscence.
Then, the woman revealed an enlightened smile.
"Uh … Director Tang?"
After thinking for a while, the woman accurately recalled his identity. Then, she smiled and extended her hand to him.
The woman's five fingers were slender, and on her wrist was a simple black Cartier watch. Tang Wenpeng quickly reached out and shook her hand.
"Chairman Dongfang."
Although this kind of address was a bit awkward, the other party did have this China atmosphere.
Dongfang Wan, the strong woman who built Wanting Electronics, he didn't expect to see her here today.
Although she had a pretty good family background from the beginning, it was said that Dongfang Wan had been planning her own career without her family since high school. First, she started with various toy and accessory companies. Later, she began to transform into the network and electronics industry. Today's Wanting Electronics Group was almost established by her and her assistant, President Xu. In the past few years, Tang Wenpeng had joined the company. It was said that she had begun to take over the family business and temporarily let go of Wanting Electronics. She was in charge of several other large companies, such as Jingshu Trading in the north and Luo Heng Real Estate in the south, which was transformed from the original Chaohai Group.
Today, President Xu of Hsu Yi-ting also followed her everywhere, only occasionally visiting the company. However, Wanting Electronics had long been on track, and there was a group of old officials in charge. There were no problems at present.
Tang Wenpeng hadn't seen Dongfang Wan many times, only a dozen times in total. They were all in the presence of many people. She came to the company several times during the board meeting. In addition, she only appeared once a year at the end of the year. She had been very busy in recent years.
He didn't expect that under such circumstances, the other party could still remember him. He was a little flattered.
As a woman, Dongfang Wan's handshake was probably quite powerful. The two sides then exchanged a few words before she entered the elevator and waved her hand to press the floor button.
Tang Wenpeng exhaled, shook his head and smiled. He still felt a sense of admiration that the other party still remembered him. People who could reach this step were not ordinary people. It was enough to have a family foundation and connections. Sure enough, this was not a simple woman. Just a short greeting of about a minute or so, behind the seemingly soft greeting, there was a quite strong aura and temperament in it.
Then he frowned slightly.
Just now he was a little nervous, so he didn't notice that compared with the previous meetings, the other party was dressed and dressed a little casually today. Of course, it didn't mean that such a strong woman had to dress up all the time, but this degree of casualness was deeper, just like at home. She wore a dress without many decorations, which looked a little monotonous. Except for the watch, she didn't wear any jewelry. Her hair was naturally draped behind her head, and it was still a little wet. It shouldn't be because she went out in the rain, but because he was a little close to her when he picked up the things, and he smelled like she had just taken a shower.
In other words … she didn't come from home to the hotel to meet people. She was just staying in the hotel. She just came down and went back?
Why would a person who had a home in Jianghai, a big villa, come to stay in a hotel?
He thought about it, then shook his head and gave up on this question. He didn't want to delve into it.
