Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 358 Daddy won't lose you again
Qiaodian is located in one of the poorest areas of Sichuan Province, with a population of only tens of thousands.

Hengdian Town was only fully electrified in 2009 and barely opened to traffic in 2013.

In their previous lives, Cheng Yi and Huang Wenrong had also searched the area near Qiaodian, but by then there were hardly any young people left in Qiaodian, and with the fast pace of life, no one paid attention to the missing persons notices.

Throughout the journey, Huang Wenrong appeared somewhat lost and dejected. He sat at the back of the yacht, constantly rubbing his hands together.

The anxiety in his heart made Huang Wenrong, who was used to seeing storms, feel anxious and uncertain.

He feared that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and even that it was all just a dream. Every now and then, he couldn't help but pinch his fingers.

Zhang Lingyu sat next to Huang Wenrong, wanting to offer words of comfort, but didn't know where to begin.

At times like these, it seems that silence is the only option.

When they arrived in Guocheng, Sichuan Province, it was already dark. The Jialing River was high and sandy, so for safety reasons, Cheng Yi and the others stayed overnight in Guocheng.

Around noon the next day, they finally arrived at Shudao Qiaodian, the northernmost point of Sichuan Province.

Looking at the steep cliffs around them, Zhang Lingyu and her entourage, who had never been to Sichuan Province before, marveled at the wonders of nature.

At the wharf in Qiaodian Town, Yin Qifeng had been waiting for a long time.

When he participated in the on-the-job training, it was Huang Wenrong who personally instructed him. Huang Wenrong, with his refined and scholarly demeanor, was simply the role model he pursued throughout his life.

But now, Huang Wenrong had lost all his refined demeanor. His eyes were lifeless, and he looked like a walking corpse. He didn't even hear Huang Wenrong's greeting.

Cheng Yi knew that Huang Wenrong was no longer able to think clearly. He looked at Yin Qifeng and asked, "How far is Shiquan Village from here?"

Yin Qifeng immediately said, "The straight-line distance is only a few hundred meters, but we need to cross this mountain."

Yin Qifeng pointed to a not-so-high mountain behind him and said, "It's at the foot of this mountain. You can get there by going around the mountain. It's about ten kilometers away. We can take an oxcart."

Looking at the dirt road that stretched into the mountains, Huang Wenrong's body trembled slightly. He didn't say anything and quickly ran towards the dirt road.

"Uncle Huang, slow down." Zhang Lingyu immediately led several security personnel to catch up.

Yin Qifeng had been trained at headquarters for half a month, and he knew that Cheng Yi and Zhang Lingyu were also powerful vice presidents of Momo Group. He never expected that all three powerful vice presidents of Momo Group would come over this time.

His eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at Cheng Yi, who was still standing there.

Cheng Yi watched Huang Wenrong and the others walk away and said to Yin Qifeng, "Go ahead and lead the way. If President Huang can successfully find his relatives this time, the group will have a great use for you."

"Thank you, President Cheng." Yin Qifeng was overjoyed upon hearing this and ran after Huang Wenrong and the others at the fastest speed he had ever run.

Since his rebirth, Cheng Yi has been running every day. Climbing this not-so-steep mountain was nothing to him. He jogged all the way to the top of the mountain and sure enough, he saw a village with smoke rising from its chimneys at the foot of the mountain.

Just as Huang Wenrong was about to rush down, he was stopped by two security guards.

Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard. If Huang Wenrong were to run down so recklessly, he wouldn't just be running down the mountain, he would be rolling down it.

Two security guards helped Huang Wenrong to the back mountain of Shiquan Village.

On the back hill, several children were herding black goats. Next to the flock, a girl was putting flowers in another girl's hair, while two boys around fourteen or fifteen years old were helping to drive the goats.

Both little girls were very thin, but their faces were beaming with innocent and carefree smiles.

Upon seeing the teenage girl, Huang Wenrong's pace slowed rapidly, and he eventually came to a stop.

He stood quietly in place, staring at the girl dozens of meters away. At that moment, he felt that time and space around him had stopped.

He raised his hand as if to shout, but something seemed to be blocking his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

His tears gushed out and slid down his cheeks.

The sudden appearance of Huang Wenrong and his group startled the shepherd children. The two girls looked frightened and quickly hid in the grass, only their wary little heads peeking out.

The teenage girl stared at Huang Wenrong, her fear gradually turning into confusion.

She gazed quietly at Huang Wenrong, whose face was streaked with tears, and felt that Huang Wenrong looked somewhat familiar.

Gradually, something seemed to come to mind, and a longing appeared in her questioning eyes.

She slowly stood up from the grass and looked at Huang Wenrong.

Her expression shifted from confusion to shock, and finally to endless grievance.

"Tongtong." Huang Wenrong finally called out her name.

He rushed towards the girl like a madman, and the waist-high grass and pebbles on the ground made Huang Wenrong tumble and crawl.

He rushed over and hugged the girl tightly, letting out a low sob.

"Are you Dad?" The girl was stunned for a long time before asking, still unsure.

"Yes, it's Dad." Huang Wenrong cried loudly, "I'm sorry, Dad is so sorry."

Huang Wenrong kept saying sorry, which brought tears to the eyes of Zhang Lingyu and the others.

Cheng Yi's eyes were also a little moist. He looked up at the sky, wanting to tell Huang Wenrong from another time and space about the result.

The girl was somewhat dazed, as if she couldn't believe it was real. She was held by Huang Wenrong without any expression, and it was several minutes before the grievances of the past ten years finally turned into tears, and she cried loudly.

The girl's cries instantly startled the villagers. Some villagers living in the back mountains saw a group of strangers making the girl cry and immediately rushed over with farm tools and sticks.

Zhang Lingyu and the others immediately blocked Huang Wenrong's path and shouted, "We are not bad people, we are here to find our relatives."

"Looking for relatives?" These villagers all knew that the girl had been left here by human traffickers. When they saw that Zhang Lingyu and the others were dressed in fine clothes and did not seem like the kind of evil people who would snatch a child, they did not swing their farm tools down.

They looked at each other in bewilderment, and a middle-aged man shouted, "Go and call the old village chief."

Immediately, a villager grabbed a sickle and hurriedly ran back to the village.

Huang Wenrong gently stroked the girl's cheek, a look of ecstatic joy appearing on his face. He continued to stroke the girl's obviously malnourished face and said in a trembling voice, "Tongtong, don't cry. Daddy promises you, I will never lose you again."

Before long, an elderly couple arrived at the back of the mountain, surrounded by a group of villagers. The old man looked at the girl who had stopped crying and called out, "Ya Ya, is he really your father?"

“He is my father.” The girl raised her hand to touch the scar at the corner of Huang Wenrong’s eye, answering firmly.

A look of joy immediately appeared in the eyes of the elderly couple.

They were already in their twilight years, and they could die in peace once they saw the girl find her family. In previous years, they often crossed mountains to inquire about the girl's relatives in the county town. However, in recent years, their health gradually declined, and they gave up the idea of ​​continuing to help the girl find her family.

Huang Wenrong looked at the elderly couple, got up and walked over to them.

To everyone's astonishment, Huang Wenrong knelt down directly in front of the elderly couple.

“Yaya’s father, this is unacceptable.” The old man quickly bent down to help Huang Wenrong up and said, “Seeing Yaya find her family, we feel the same way you do.”

Huang Wenrong didn't say anything to express his gratitude. He walked up to Cheng Yi with a determined look in his eyes and said, "President Cheng, I would like to withdraw my share of the profits."

Before Huang Wenrong could finish speaking, Cheng Yi took out a bank card from his pocket and said with a smile, "This is your share dividend for the past six months. After deducting income tax, it totals 2183.7 million."

Huang Wenrong's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected that Cheng Yi could predict his thoughts.

"Thank you." Huang Wenrong clutched the bank card in his hand and said, "I want to help them get out of this mountain."

Cheng Yi said, "I calculated it before I came. You need to build a bridge across the river on this natural barrier and a 39-kilometer highway. With this amount of money, you can only finish the highway at most."

Cheng Yi took out another card and handed it to Huang Wenrong, saying, "Here's 5000 million, consider it an advance on your future dividends. The Jialing River Bridge cost a total of 1679 million. Since our Momo Group is going to build a bridge, it should be something more impressive than the Jialing River Bridge, right? I calculated that building the bridge will cost about 3200 million. Keep the rest for yourself. Do you really want Tongtong to live with you in a bachelor apartment?"

"But you need to think this through. If you accept this card, you'll be my slave for life." Cheng Yi smiled at Huang Wenrong.

A smile appeared on Huang Wenrong's face. He grabbed the bank card and said, word by word, "In the next life, I'll still be your servant."

Paving roads and building bridges was a vow Huang Wenrong made in his previous life. Wherever his daughter was found, he would pave roads and build bridges for that place. Unfortunately, Huang Wenrong never fulfilled this promise in his previous life.

In just one day, the news spread throughout the entire Shudao County.

The old village chief of Shiquan Village only rescued a little girl from human traffickers, but in return, he brought Shudao County a bridge across the river and a highway that leads directly to the provincial highway.

The people of Qiaodian Town were especially excited, as the bridge across the river was located at the Qiaodian dock, and the road opened up the mountains, leading directly to Qiaodian.

The saying "If you want to get rich, build roads first" is no joke.

If the transportation in Qiaodian Town becomes more convenient, there will be so many industries that can be developed. Surrounded by mountains and water, as long as people are willing to work hard, even if they only engage in tourism or fishing, every household can become rich and achieve a moderately prosperous life.

For hundreds of years, their ancestors have traversed mountains and valleys, and their hardworking and resilient character has been ingrained in their bones.

Huang Wenrong originally wanted to take charge of this matter himself, but Cheng Yi would never agree to it.

He pulled and dragged the elderly couple along with him, packing them up and taking them all back to Jingzhou City.

Huang Wenrong is the backbone of their group. Without Huang Wenrong, Momo Group would be like the West without Jerusalem.

To put Huang Wenrong at ease, Cheng Yi contacted Li Chengxuan in front of Huang Wenrong and arranged for the Road and Bridge Group, a subsidiary of Handong Provincial Construction Group, to take over the project.

Upon returning to Jingzhou City, Huang Wenrong, who had never pursued luxury, changed his ways. He bought a 380-square-meter duplex villa in the safest villa area in the Shinan District and brought the somewhat bewildered elderly couple to live there as well.

The elderly couple had a miserable life. Their only son had fallen off a cliff more than 20 years ago and was never found. They never expected that by doing such a small act of kindness, they would not only have a granddaughter but also a godson.

Education in Qiaodian Town is very backward, and children are basically unable to attend school regularly. In order to help Huang Xiaotong keep up with her studies, Huang Wenrong hired several female college students from Handong University at a high price to serve as tutors and make up for Huang Xiaotong's primary and junior high school courses.

Huang Wenrong and his wife are both high achievers, and Huang Xiaotong's learning talent is also unmatched by ordinary children. At this rate, Huang Xiaotong only needs to study diligently for half a year to be able to attend the affiliated high school of Handong University.

Make up for it, keep making up for it.

For the past two weeks, Huang Wenrong has been on a shopping spree, as if he wants to make up for all the toys and clothes he has missed out on over the past ten years.

On the other hand, Yin Qifeng, the former head of Momo Internet Cafe in Shudao County, has also transformed into the head of Momo Group in Sichuan Province, in charge of Momo Internet Cafe in Sichuan Province and responsible for supervising this road and bridge project.

This charity project has a total investment of over 50 million yuan, which, regardless of the era, would be considered a large-scale charity project that would attract the attention of the top officials in Sichuan Province.

Suddenly, Yin Qifeng became a guest of honor of the provincial and municipal governments, receiving the utmost courtesy, which almost made him lose control of himself.

"President Cheng." In the afternoon, Cheng Yi had just finished confirming the locations of the first batch of Momo Elementary Schools when he saw Huang Wenrong walk into the office.

He laughed and said, "My boss, Mr. Huang, has finally found time to visit me."

Huang Wenrong smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I've been..."

"I was just joking with you," Cheng Yi said with a smile. "Don't be so formal, sit down."

Huang Wenrong nodded and sat down in the chair opposite Cheng Yi.

For some reason, Cheng Yi always felt like a friend he had known for many years, even though he and Cheng Yi had only known each other for less than a year.

Huang Wenrong sat very upright, and after a while, he slowly said, "President Cheng, I have another request."

"You speak," Cheng Yi said, looking at Huang Wenrong.

Huang Wenrong looked at Cheng Yi and said, "Could we open a family tracing module on the computer desktops of Momo Internet Cafe? Whoever provides clues or helps find those children, we can provide them with a year of free internet access."

Seeing Cheng Yi frown, Huang Wenrong realized that his request was a bit excessive. He immediately stood up and said, "President Cheng, I will cover all the costs of their free internet access."

Cheng Yi slowly shook his head and said, "This is not a matter of internet access fees. If you want to create this template, you will need a large number of staff responsible for verifying the authenticity of information. Even if you only set up two people in each district and county, you will still need a scale of four or five thousand people. If you do not arrange these people, this workload will fall on our network administrators."

"Moreover, this will also involve many legal issues."

Upon hearing Cheng Yi's words, Huang Wenrong's eyes immediately dimmed.

Having experienced this incident, Huang Wenrong understands all too well what it's like for parents who have lost their children. That kind of despair and helplessness is something ordinary people can't comprehend; it's like the sky has fallen.

Cheng Yi considered for a moment and said, "You just focus on your finance work, I'll figure out a way to handle this."

"Okay." Huang Wenrong looked at Cheng Yi with gratitude in her eyes, then turned and left Cheng Yi's office.
