After Situ Nan's enthusiasm was retained, Tan Kah Kee spent the most luxurious night of his life on the William, and Laura returned from Ben Thanh. When she heard about Tan Kah Kee's school, she was very moved and fulfilled Situ Nan's promise to Jimei School on the spot.

"Thank you, husband. I thank you on behalf of the children. Chen Jiageng looked at Laura, who had a noble face, but was approachable, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Situ Nan and his wife were the most interesting couple he had ever met, and until many years later, he still remembered, "Without that kind husband, there would be no Jimei University, and from beginning to end, Jimei University was protected by William and his wife." ”

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. In fact, I went to visit the schools here earlier, and it is a pity that there are many children here who go to work without school. So we're going to build a free elementary school with the church. Well, if I have the chance, I'll take a look at the school you built. I love school and I am happy to see the smiles on the faces of the children. ”

Laura smiled sweetly, she was very happy to be able to help Bei enter, and every time she built a school and a gallery, she had a unique sense of accomplishment.

Well, since she was a child, it seems that she has never had to worry about money, whether it is the eldest lady of the Mellon family or William's husband, there are countless amounts of money for her to squander.

Fortunately, Laura does not have the habit of being extravagant, except for the gifts given to her by Situ Nan, she rarely spends money on expensive jewelry. Of course, there is still the vanity necessary for women, but it is just that much more time and money is spent on the Foundation than on herself.

The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow. This phrase is also appropriate to describe the port of Penang tonight. The bright moonlight poured softly on the surface of the sea like a thin veil, and the sea gently swelled, rustling from time to time, like the whisper in the ear of a kind mother as she coaxed her baby to sleep.

How quiet the night is! How brilliant the endless starry sky is! How ups and downs the mind is!

Li Guangqian stood on the deck, overlooking the sea, his eyes were a little hazy, and he couldn't see very clearly, but he had a feeling in his heart that he was telling himself where the road ahead was, waiting for him to walk over.

The oncoming wind with a faint fishy smell made Lee Kong Chian think clearly, and the quiet night, solitude, allowed him to listen to his inner voice.

From the moment he stepped into the ship, Lee Kong Qian felt like he had stepped into another world, a world he longed for but never reached.

It turns out that there are still people in this world who are younger than themselves, but they have achieved achievements that they will look up to for a lifetime, and compared with the confident and powerful Situ Nan, there is a difference between him.

Li Guangqian considers himself a proud enter, diligent and studious since childhood, well-educated, if it weren't for the turbulence of several times, interrupting his dream of university, he would have studied abroad and become a beautiful returnee.

However, with hard work, Lee Kong Chian not only learned Chinese and Western, proficient in Chinese and English, but also learned the skills of rubber management in Qianyi Company, and became the manager of the rubber trade department and the assistant of Tan Kah Kee, and was very respected by the boss Tan Kah Kee.

This is naturally a good achievement for Lee Kong Chian, who is only in his twenties. But after meeting Situ Nan today, Li Guangqian felt that he couldn't afford to have the courage to be jealous, because the gap between the two sides was too far. From the negotiations between Situ Nan and Tan Kah Kee, Lee Kong Chian knew that from the very beginning, the other party had the initiative, and his boss would agree to the other party's proposal.

Hey, when will I be able to have my own business? Li Guangqian sighed in his heart. He felt like a small boat, quiet with the waves, very small, like a drop of water in the sea, not knowing where it would drift.

"Brother Li, why are you so leisurely looking at the sea!" A voice came from behind, and Li Guangqian looked back and saw that it was Situ Nan.

"Huh. It's not bad to be idle and have nothing to do, so it's not bad to blow the wind here. I didn't expect you to be here, what a coincidence, Mr. Situ. Lee Kong Chian said politely.

"Brother Li, it's okay to call me Situ or Anan, you don't have to be polite. You and my peers are young, so we should be more straightforward and refreshing, to be honest, what annoys me the most is red tape and the like. Situ Nan smiled slightly, "By the way, I came to you on purpose." ”

"Looking for me?" Li Guangqian was surprised, he didn't know what Situ Nan wanted to find him.

"Yes. There are some things I want to talk to Brother Li. Come on, come on, let's talk about wine and night. After speaking, Situ Nan patted Li Guangqian on the shoulder and walked straight to the bench next to the deck. Li Guangqian had no choice but to follow.

"Brother Li, that, I'll still call you Guangqian." Situ Nan is still a little unaccustomed to being called by the table word nowadays, and prefers to call him by his name.

"I think you're a good entry in front of the light, and I want to make you a friend." South Szeto Road.

"It's an honor for me to be friends with Mr. Situ." Lee replied politely, looking a little reserved.

Situ Nan smiled and said, "We are about the same age, if you want to count it, you can be my brother in front of the light." You can call it Situ or Anan. By the way, I'm a little curious, how did you meet Mr. Tan Kah Kee in front of the light? ”

"It's a bit of a coincidence, I have known Mr. Chen since I was very young. It was about fifteen or sixteen years ago, when I was 10 years old, and I followed my father on a boat from Fujian to Singapore. Soon after the boat sailed, it became cold, and Mr. Tan Kah Kee was also on board, and he instructed the crew to give a blanket to each surnamed Chen. Many people who were not surnamed Chen ran to get them, but I didn't go. Mr. Tan Kah Kee was very surprised to see me and asked me why I didn't go to get the blanket. I said I don't have the surname Chen. Still, he sent me a blanket. Hehe. ”

Li Guangqian smiled and said, "The next time I saw Mr. Tan Kah Kee, it was three years ago, when I happened to go down, I was eating at a stall, and I saw Mr. Tan Kah Kee also happened to be selling food, but he didn't bring an umbrella, and the car was parked relatively far away, trapped in the rain.

After more than ten years, I still recognized him at first sight, so I lent him an umbrella. He didn't recognize me, so he told me to go to his company to look for him, and then left. Later, I joined Qianyi Company. A thousand is three years.

Before I met Mr. Tan Kah Kee again, I had to go back to the mainland to study at Jinan University, Tsinghua School, and after the Xinhai Revolution, I had to interrupt my studies and return to Nanyang. To this day, I still think about it, Mr. Tan Kah Kee is really my precious entry. ”

Lee Kong Chian smiled warmly, in the Qianyi Company, Mr. Tan Kah Kee not only treated him very well, but also taught him a lot of things, especially Tan Kah Kee's moral character deeply infected Lee Kong Chian.

"I didn't expect there to be so many stories in it. This is to enter into the relationship, and sometimes you have to pay attention to fate. Some of us thought it was impossible to see him again, but we let you meet him again. It's a wonderful feeling. Situ Nan sighed.

Looking at Li Guangqian's somewhat puzzled expression, Situ Nan explained: "I just said that it was about me and my wife. We were separated by several years, and all of a sudden we met again, and then we were what we are now. Hehe. ”

"In Nanyang, I have seen a lot of husbands, but few are as noble and generous as Lauraf." Lee Kong Chian praised. Laura was indeed deeply impressed by Lee Kong Chian, not only generous and kind, readily agreeing to donate to Jimei School, but also gentle, without any arrogance, and would say a good thing, and did not want the high-spirited foreign husbands in Lee Kong Qian's impression at all.

"Oh. Thank you! Situ Nan smiled proudly, "You are not young before I see the light, and it is time to find someone to start a family." ”

"Starting a family? It's still a little far. Lee Kong Chian was a little shy and sighed: "Although I have learned a little bit of skill now, I don't have a career of my own." Besides, starting a family is not an easy task! ”

"What's so hard about that? Didn't Mr. Tan Kah Kee say that he would marry you a woman? There is this horse. has become a family, and a career is not far away. Situ Nan said gossipingly.

"When did Mr. Chen say this, Situ, don't talk nonsense! It's not good to ruin your family's reputation. Li Guangqian hurriedly said, his heart was a little empty. Why does he think that this Situ Nanjin is a bit of a gossip?

"Hi. You don't need to be modest in front of the light, didn't Mr. Chen have no objections in the early days? As long as you push harder, the horse will be beautiful. Ha ha. Situ Nan smiled proudly, thinking that it was actually quite interesting to tease this unfledged Li Guangqian.

"It seems that no matter what era it is, men have no career and lack confidence. No, even the future rubber king didn't dare to ask for his wife when he didn't have a career? Situ Nan smiled in his heart.

Li Guangqian was a little helpless about the gossip Situ Nan, frowned, and didn't plan to talk nonsense with Situ Nan about these painful things.

Situ Nan didn't think much of himself, but after making a fuss, the relationship between the two was much closer, and Li Guangqian felt that Situ Nan was still relatively easy to talk to, and he didn't have that kind of super-rich frame at all.

Situ Nan confirmed the Lee Kong Chian in his memory and the Lee Kong Chian in front of him, and felt that if he could get his own help, his future achievements would be much higher than the Lee Kong Chian in history.

History: Tan Kah Kee and Lee Kong Chian Weng are both successful businessmen, both have the title of rubber king, are keen on charity education, and enjoy high honors. But there is still a difference between the two, Tan Kah Kee's success depends more on "morality", while Lee Kong Chian's success depends more on "wisdom".

At least in Situ Nam's view, Lee Kong Chian is smarter, more discerning, and more able to handle international relationships than Tan Kah Kee. This is exactly what Situ Nan needs. Especially when the other party has not yet made a career, it is easier to be recruited.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan said seriously: "If there is an opportunity for you to display your ambitions, I don't know if you are willing to give in before the light?" ”

"What?" Li Guangqian asked, and he Ma replied, maybe this is the purpose of Situ Nan looking for him.

"That's right. If Mr. Tan Kah Kee agrees with us to cooperate in the establishment of the White Spoon, I intend to ask you to represent Meihua Company as the vice president of Qianyi Company to assist Mr. Tan Kah Kee in managing the rubber affairs of Nanyang. This is not the same as your original job, but it is just to represent the interests of Meihua, so you have a higher status and are responsible for more things. Situ Nan said, looking at Li Guangqian expectantly.
