Chapter 500 The aftermath
Meeting Chairman Zhu of Daying in Hong Kong this time was something that Chen Runji's family had never expected, but they did not take it too seriously. Although Chen Runji had given up inheriting the family business, he still had the pride that a chaebol's son should have.

However, the fellow villagers at the banquet that night could not help but be shocked, especially Jin Minzhu's father, whose eyes became eager when he looked at Suning's family.

After the dinner, when Chen Runji took his family back home, he had received a lot of business cards. Chen Runji did not look down on them. Maybe one day he would really be able to ask them for help.

"Mr. Chen, I am Kim Kwang-joo, the owner of Seoul Restaurant, and this is my daughter Kim Min-joo." Just as Chen Runji was about to leave, Kim Min-joo's father caught up with him.

"Hello, Boss Jin!"

"Hello! If Mr. Chen ever misses the delicious food at home, just let me know and I will definitely let him have authentic Korean food."

"Okay! It's a deal."

Chen Runji and Jin Guangzhu chatted casually for a few words, then started the car and left. Watching Chen Runji and his family drive away, Jin Minzhu's eyes became very complicated. At the age of twelve or thirteen, she already understood the ways of the world. In addition, she had been away from home all day long, so Jin Minzhu seemed even more mature. The look in her eyes when she looked at Su Ning was also different.

When they were far away from the hotel where the hometown party was held, Li Hairen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Su Ning in the back seat with a smile, "Hyungjun! Is that girl your classmate?"

"Yes! Her name is Jin Minzhu."

"Wow! This girl is pretty!"

"Uh?"

"Haha, Hengjun, why didn't you say hello to your classmates just now?" Chen Runji, who knew the relationship, also became curious.

"Dad, she is mad at me because I didn't go shopping with her." Suning explained with a wry smile.

"Ah? Hyungjun! That's your fault. You should be patient with girls."

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to have a premature love relationship at school. I want to study hard and get into the University of Hong Kong!"

"Well, Hyungjun is really ambitious." Chen Runji and Li Hairen nodded approvingly. Then Chen Runji suddenly remembered the 1 billion won incident and asked, "Hyungjun, how are you doing in the Hong Kong stock market?"

"That's great! With Uncle Takahashi's help, I didn't suffer any loss." Suning dealt with it casually without making up his mind.

"Well, that's good. Your Uncle Takahashi is a very capable man. You must listen to his advice."

"Yes! Dad."

Now Suning and Takahashi Iwaichi get along very well. Suning knows that Takahashi Iwaichi's status is the same as Chen Daojun's Wu Shixuan. They are both each other's best helpers, but they don't have the kind of twists and turns that Chen Daojun and Wu Shixuan have.

Now Gao Qiaoyan is willing to step to the front, and Suning can hide safely behind the scenes, so that he can protect himself to the greatest extent. After all, he has not yet grown into a towering tree.

It would be very dangerous to compete for favor like Chen Daojun did. None of these guys in the Chen family are good men and women. They might really do something desperate.

Gao Qiaoyanyi was well aware of every investment made by Suning, and he also knew how huge a figure one billion won had become in such a short period of time. "Hyungjun, which stock should we invest in next?"

"Uncle Takahashi, tomorrow is the 11th, right?" Instead of answering Takahashi Iwaichi's question, Suning asked a question inexplicably.

"Ah? National Day? You are not Chinese, do you have to celebrate National Day with the Chinese?" Takahashi Iwao was a little confused by Suning's question.

"Uncle Gaoqiao, it's not the National Day. It's just that we've been doing so well in the stock market these past few days. I suddenly feel a little scared."

"Oh? No way! According to the existing data analysis, the Hong Kong stock market is very hot right now, and it is also a time of rising profits."

"Uncle Takahashi, why do I feel so similar to the situation before the 1973 stock market crash?"

"What? Stock market crash?" Takahashi Iwaichi immediately panicked.

"Uncle, I once heard a saying: When others are greedy, I am fearful; when others are fearful, I am greedy."

"Hengjun, I understand what you mean. We must go big this time." Takahashi Iwaichi suddenly laughed because he also agreed with Suning's judgment.

"Well, Uncle Takahashi, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Hengjun, don't worry, I will take care of everything. Let's go all in this time!" Takahashi Iwaichi suddenly became excited. The stock market crash is definitely a feast for financial tycoons.

"Uncle Takahashi, I suspect this stock market crash will be even more severe. Both the US dollar and the British pound will be affected. I'll be troubling you from now on."

After the two of them had been in contact during this period, Suning realized that Takahashi Iwaichi was very capable. He had already judged that the stock market crash was coming, and he knew that Takahashi Iwaichi would definitely seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After Takahashi Iwaichi left the Chen family, Suning returned to his childish state. He really trusted Takahashi Iwaichi now, and he was worthy of his trust. He was very considerate and solved many problems for Suning.

"Hengjun, your uncle Takahashi left again?" Chen Runji walked over with a smile on his face. It seemed that he was very happy recently.

"Dad, the stock market in Hong Kong has been booming recently, and my uncle has taught me a lot about the stock market." Suning explained to Chen Runji with a smile.

"Haha, that's good!" Chen Runji nodded nonchalantly, then explained to his son, "Hyungjun! Your mom and I are going back to Korea in a few days. We might stay a few days longer this time because we have a few new films to work on. Do you want to go back with us?"

"Dad, I'd better stay in Hong Kong. After all, my studies are more important." Suning directly rejected Chen Runji's proposal.

"Huh? Okay! If anything happens, just call Dad."

"it is good."

Suning knew that a climax was about to come, which was the crash of the plane Chen Yangzhe was on. Although this was a close call, Chen Yangzhe also completely accepted Suning's "brother" Chen Daojun.

Thinking of the superb performances and inner ecstasy of the Chen family's children after they learned about the plane crash, Suning couldn't help but want to witness it in person, but Suning finally restrained his impulsive thoughts, because it was too dangerous to contact the Chen family now. It would be better for Suning to hide aside and develop for the time being.

October 1987 was a magical period of time. So many things happened in this month, whether it was the outbreak of the global stock market crash or Chen Yangzhe's plane crash, they were all major events that touched people's hearts.

Chen Runji and Li Hairen kept giving instructions to Suning, and then finally boarded the plane from Hong Kong to Seoul. Then Suning relaxed for the first time. In the following days, he ate and lived with Takahashi Iwa, and they enjoyed the tremendous feast in the stock market in 1987 together.

Takahashi Iwaichi was undoubtedly the most excited. A veteran in finance, he had given up his beloved career for a woman, ultimately ending up with nothing and being shut down by Shunyang Group. Now, at the pinnacle of the financial world, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment he had never experienced before. It felt as if he had found his future path. "Hyungjun, you're a stock market genius! You actually accurately predicted the stock market crash. The world is going completely crazy now."

"Uncle Takahashi, enjoy this moment! We are not Soros or Buffett. This kind of opportunity is rare."

"Haha, Hengjun, sometimes I even suspect you're a thousand-year-old demon. Seeing such a large amount of funds, you can be so calm and composed."

"Uncle Takahashi, no matter how much money you have, it's just a number. If I really had $1 billion in cash in front of me, I think I would go crazy immediately."

"Hyunjun, do you want to see the grand spectacle of one billion US dollars in cash? I can arrange it for you." It was originally just a joke from Suning, but Takahashi Iwaichi actually took it seriously.

"Huh? Forget it! I don't have a habit of playing exciting things. If I get too excited and die young, it will not be worth it." This is also what Suning likes most about Takahashi Iwaichi. He has unconsciously forgotten to question Suning.

"Hehe, it's okay! Uncle will arrange a doctor for you in advance." Takahashi Iwaichi said with a wicked smile.

Jungsimjae, Seoul, South Korea.

The plane crash happened just like in the original drama. The Chen family immediately cried hysterically, but they couldn't help but feel ecstatic in their hearts. After all, if Chen Yangzhe was really dead, they could divide up the assets of Shunyang Group without restraint, and the so-called eldest son inheritance system could go to hell.

At this time, Chen Runji and his wife and their youngest son Chen Daojun were at home in Seoul. When they received a call from Zheng Xinzhai, they felt like the sky was falling, and ran to Zheng Xinzhai regardless of anything.

Looking at the chaos in Zhengxinzhai at this moment, the time traveler Chen Daojun was stunned. He thought that the time and space he was in were messed up, and he stood there in a daze.

At this time, Chen Runji, who was trying hard to stay awake, remembered to call Suning who was far away in Hong Kong. After all, he needed Suning to rush back to Seoul as soon as possible to attend his grandfather's funeral. Then he called Suning on the phone in Zhengxinzhai.

After receiving the phone call from Chen Runji, Suning knew that Chen Yangzhe would be safe and sound, but as a member and junior of the Chen family, Suning had to rush back to Seoul without hesitation.

"Dad, don't worry. It might be a false alarm. I'll take the earliest flight back to Seoul."

"Hyungjun! How about letting your uncle Takahashi accompany you? You are really too young, and we are a little worried."

"Dad, I'm twelve years old. It's no problem for me to travel by plane."

"Okay! Be careful on the road." Chen Yangzhe's plane crash scared them, and Chen Runji couldn't help but remind them again.

"See you in Seoul, Dad."

Suning still has some social skills. If he said now that Chen Yangzhe would definitely come back safely, and then refused to fly back to Seoul immediately to "attend the funeral", everyone would probably think that Suning was a fool, and he would really be disliked by everyone.

Suning and Takahashi Iwaichi explained a few things casually, then bought the earliest flight tickets and boarded the plane back to Seoul. Looking at the white clouds outside the window of the plane, Suning felt very uneasy because he finally had to face his relatives in this world.

In the past, Suning was at most a first-generation rich man. He had never experienced such fierce family struggles. Even when he became the head of a large conglomerate in the world of "The Inspector of Five Hundred Million", he still couldn't see the struggles among his children. It was not until then that he realized that the happy life he felt at that time might really be an illusion, and his children's bloody struggles were hidden underneath.

In fact, when Suning boarded the plane, Chen Yangzhe and his group had already returned safely to Zhengxinzhai. Seeing the family crying and laughing, Chen Yangzhe also felt a sense of surprise that he had survived a disaster.

The Chen family was exhausted from the great joy and sorrow. Chen Daojun was also enjoying the joy of his success with surprise, while Chen Runji and Li Hairen had long forgotten about Suning's affairs.

It was not until Chen Runji and Li Hairen left Zhengxinzhai that they remembered that they had a son rushing back to "attend the funeral". They hurried to the airport in a panic, but when they arrived at the airport, they were stunned to learn that the plane had landed half an hour ago.

Although he knew all the plots in his mind, he still had to force himself to be a "good actor". Not seeing anyone picking him up outside the airport, Suning had no choice but to take a taxi to Zhengxinzhai, because only in this way could he meet all the requirements.

When the staff of Zhengxinzhai saw Suning coming back, they felt a little confused and hurriedly took Suning into Zhengxinzhai. At this time, the grandmother, who was overjoyed and sad, had already fallen asleep. After hearing the staff's report, she hurriedly got up, dressed and walked out.

"Oh! My dear Hengjun! You must have been worried about me all the way here." The grandmother couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw her grandson sleeping in the open air.

"Grandma, is there any news about my grandpa?"

"Hyungjun! Your grandpa is safe. He changed flights midway and returned to Seoul early."

"Ah? That's great! I'm glad grandpa is okay." Suning said in pretended surprise.

"It's so late! Who is still here?" Chen Yangzhe heard the noise and walked out with an angry look on his face.

"Oh! It's our grandson Hengjun. He heard the news about your accident and immediately rushed back from Hong Kong."

"Oh?" Chen Yangzhe on the second floor looked at the strange grandson in surprise, and then felt a little relieved. "Hengjun! Come up and talk to grandpa!"

"Yes! Grandpa."

"Hyunjun, go ahead! I'll ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of noodles." Grandma patted Suning with a kind look.

"Thank you grandma."

"Silly child, why are you saying thank you to your own grandma?"

Suning went up to the second floor nervously, and then came to Chen Yangzhe's study. He had the impression that this old man liked to intimidate others, and Suning was worried that he would suddenly yell at him.

"Hengjun, I heard that you learned Chinese very well." Looking at the strange grandson in front of him, Chen Yangzhe suddenly asked in a strange Chinese accent.

"Yes! Grandpa, I started learning Chinese as soon as I arrived in Hong Kong." Suning also used Chinese with a smile on his face, and suddenly felt very proud of his mother tongue.

"Hmm? Really good!" Chen Yangzhe's eyes lit up when he heard Su Ning's fluent Chinese.

"Hyunjun! Your father said you are practicing calligraphy, so write a few words for grandpa today!" The strange old man started asking questions again.

"Grandpa, what are you going to write?"

"Hengjun, just write a sentence for me, your grandpa, about surviving a disaster." Chen Yangzhe was obviously stunned by his grandson's question, and his expression twitched slightly.
