Chapter 624 How Dare to Resent?

On the evening of January 1, the assistant came to see Wang Yuanchao who had just adjusted to the jet lag.

"What did you say? The Liu couple also came to attend the president's inauguration ceremony?"

Wang Yuanchao took the information handed to him by his assistant in disbelief. It was the guest list for the ceremony, and Heqing Liu and Danfeng Wang were on the list.

hiss--

This is really like father-in-law colliding with father-in-law.

But fortunately, one of them has already divorced, and the divorced one is more powerful.

"Do you know who invited us here?" Wang Yuanchao asked. He had to consider whether there was any conspiracy here.

Wang Yuanchao was the biggest donor to his father-in-law Reagan's campaign, because his foundation brought together the California Consortium, the Texas Consortium, the First Citigroup, and some other small consortiums. In addition to his relationship with Reagan, he was very familiar with the campaign team.

Many of the guests at the president's inauguration ceremony were invited by him.

His foundation is going to go on a shopping spree. There's no better occasion than this to build relationships and discuss collaboration, right?
The assistant said:
"I'll go and find out right away. I'll report this to you as soon as I see the news."

Wang Yuanchao waved his hand and said:

"Never mind. Where do they live? I'll go visit them. I'll know by asking."

Wang Yuanchao quickly found the hotel where the Liu couple were staying. They were not important VIPs and did not stay in a hotel next to the White House. Instead, they stayed in Georgetown, which was a little distance away, but only about 1.5 kilometers away.

The couple set out from Hong Kong and arrived a day earlier than him.

I was not surprised at all to see Wang Yuanchao.

"Dad, Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming? You have to stay in a hotel here. I have a house here."

Liu Heqing smiled and said:
"You are doing great things, how can everything bother you?"

Wang Danfeng said with concern:
"Have you had dinner? The food here is a bit - simple."

After a brief chat, there was no conspiracy, because Wang Yuanchao was also familiar with the person who invited the old couple.

Time goes back to more than 30 years ago. Liu Heqing was studying in a school for children of the nobility run by a church. There was a girl in her class who was a very good student, but due to family changes, her source of income was cut off. She had difficulty paying her tuition and was about to be forced to drop out of school.

Liu Heqing went home and told her father about the experience of this female classmate. Liu's father was a devout Buddhist and felt very sympathetic towards this female classmate. He immediately decided that the Liu family would pay for her last two semesters' tuition and encouraged her to study hard and graduate with good grades.

This female student lived up to everyone's expectations and won a scholarship to study in the United States with excellent grades.

More than ten years ago, the classmate came to Hong Kong and found Liu Heqing. During the meal, she took out an envelope from her bag, which contained a thick stack of US dollars, to repay the Liu family.

Liu Heqing was of course not moved, and said with a smile: "It is a pleasure to help others, and I don't ask for anything in return. You have achieved what you have today by your own efforts, and it is a cause for celebration. I am happy for you and proud of you. But I cannot accept the money, I appreciate your kindness."

Later, the classmate's husband became a member of Reagan's presidential campaign team, not only helping Reagan win the 40th presidential election, but also helping him be re-elected in 1984.

As a result, an invitation was extended to Liu Heqing and his wife to attend the inauguration ceremony in January this year.

My father-in-law's classmate just wanted to repay him, and both the classmate and his wife didn't know about their relationship with Wang Yuanchao.

Well, as a member of the campaign team, the other party certainly knew about Wang Yuanchao's entanglement with the president's daughter, and also knew that Wang Yuanchao had a family in the east, and even knew the family's name, but he didn't expect that Liu Heqing was actually Wang Yuanchao's father-in-law. So the wife wanted to repay the previous benefactor, so he used the invitation letter in his hand to invite people to watch the ceremony.

[In history, Wang Danfeng is the only female artist who has participated in the inauguration of the US president, thanks to her husband]

Liu Heqing and his wife also knew about Wang Yuanchao's connections in the United States. At this level, it is impossible for them not to know. It is not easy to say it openly when a classmate invites them. Now that their son-in-law has come to them, they naturally say:

"We won't greet you tomorrow, to avoid..."

"Hey, what's that? We can just say hello normally. But when the time comes, I have to call them Mr. Liu, Mrs. Wang, and ask for my parents' forgiveness." If we don't say hello, it would only make things more obvious. There were still some Chinese people at the ceremony.

Because Wang Yuanchao supported Reagan, the high-tech companies he invested in, especially those in Silicon Valley, also had many wealthy Chinese people, so naturally they also supported Reagan.

Wang Danfeng said:

"I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble. We were worried about you before."

Wang Yuanchao didn't say much, just nodded.

However, it seems that my father-in-law and mother-in-law still have some opinions about me.

If you really want to worry about getting yourself into trouble, wouldn't it be better to just give them a heads-up beforehand? Although you were in the mainland at that time, it would be difficult for your father-in-law and mother-in-law, as executives of their industries, to inform you through the holding group?

But the other party didn't dare to do anything. If they really wanted to disgust the son-in-law, would the eldest daughter's position be stable? What about three daughters and two sons? Now the son-in-law's power is no less than that of the president of a country, and he has so many sons. It's not like there was no one available at the beginning, and the Liu family couple had to help. Wang Yuanchao has so many talented people under him now!

Wang Yuanchao suddenly thought that his mother-in-law seemed to be over 60!

My mother-in-law was born on August 24, 8. According to her age in Chinese lunar calendar, she is 23 this year.

It's a bit too much to let such an old man have to worry about the affairs of Starlight Pictures. He should be allowed to enjoy his retirement, right?
As for my father-in-law, he is 26 years old and still in good health.

Wang Yuanchao exchanged greetings for a while and then left.

"I feel like Yuan Chao is a little unhappy." Liu Heqing sighed.

Wang Danfeng said:

"After all, it was your classmate who invited you, and it's not a company matter. There's no need to report everything to him, right?"

Liu Heqing said silently:

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We just need to do our own thing. Besides, Aid North Korea is such a great capability."

Wang Danfeng was silent for a while, then said quietly:
"It's obvious that Jin'er is his legal wife, and Zhibai is his eldest son!"

Liu Heqing was stunned:
"Are you still thinking about his title?"

Wang Danfeng glanced at her husband and said:
"What? What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Heqing sighed, as if he understood everything, and said:
"Didn't the Korean War make it very clear? It was won for the grandson of the President of the United States. Otherwise, how could the Chinese get it? If you do this, I'm worried about the ceremony tomorrow..."

Wang Danfeng raised her voice and said:

"Am I such a person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter? He, Wang Yuanchao, plays with so many young stars, what did I say? I just... I just wanted to see his surprised look when he saw us at the inauguration ceremony of the US President, hey."

Liu Heqing said patiently:
"Compared to many of our colleagues and friends, we are already very happy, aren't we?
Zhili was just born, and Jin'er already had two sons.

But we only have two sons, so don’t hold them back.”

Wang Danfeng wiped her eyes and said:
"I am, I am... I can understand that Zhibai can't get the title, but why can't Jin'er be called the Countess? They also need to call a meeting for the entire industry, and even forbid you from reporting on Jin'er's situation!"

Since Wang Yuanchao said that he would leave the title of earl to Ronald Reagan Wang in the future, he explained clearly to his wife and children in Hong Kong how the title was obtained with the help of the President of the United States and that it would eventually be given to an American, so no one should think about getting the title out of nowhere.

He even made a request to the Hong Kong media, especially when reporting on his wives and concubines, that they should directly refer to them as Ms. Liu Qijin, the first wife, Ms. Lou Xiao'e, the second wife, etc., and that titles such as Countess and so on were not allowed.

Even he himself would not be reported unless necessary, and if reported, he would not be addressed as the earl, but only by his title. As for how he was addressed in private, he did not care.

Whose ancestors didn't have a king, a prince, a general or a minister? How precious is the earldom of the British? It's just a ticket to the circle of Western countries. This is the ticket that Wang Yuanchao is interested in.

Liu Heqing felt a little regretful. He should have informed Wang Yuanchao in advance. He should not have listened to his wife's one-sided words. She said that this was an invitation from his classmates. Couldn't he have his own social circle? He reported everything to his son-in-law. Didn't he have any private life at all?
As a result, the son-in-law came over in advance. What does this mean?
This means that he holds a high position here!
The guest list for the presidential inauguration ceremony either means someone has the list directly. Or, at least, the person who has the list has a good relationship with him and knows the relationship between everyone and reminds him. This shows that the son-in-law has extraordinary connections here.

Moreover, Wang Yuanchao's words just now were very polite, but how could Liu Heqing not hear the alienation in his polite words?
He had to patiently analyze the pros and cons with his wife. Wang Danfeng had been a senior executive for many years. Although she was a woman, she could still listen to him and understand the interests involved.

Surprised:
"Is it that serious? We didn't do anything?"

"As for aiding North Korea, we have the ability to do it, but we have resentment towards him, so he will not let go of this risk." Although many years have passed, he still knows more or less how his son-in-law dominated the voice of the newspaper industry in Hong Kong, so his voice is a little serious. He was able to escape from the mainland alone when he was a teenager and came to Hong Kong to start a business. This kind of hero is not something that ordinary people like them can imagine.

If he hadn't met Wang Yuanchao at the beginning, Liu Heqing didn't dare to imagine what kind of life would be like.

He couldn't comment too much on his son-in-law, let alone say anything bad about him, so he just reviewed with his wife the days when they first met in Hong Kong, the difficulties they faced, and the days after he met Wang Yuanchao, hoping to wake her up.

Holding great power in the Hong Kong film and television circles and the media sector, and being praised by everyone for a long time, Wang Danfeng felt that she and her husband were very powerful. However, after being investigated by her husband, she realized that no matter whether it was a newspaper or a film company, after going through all the layers of equity, it was still her son-in-law's industry!
It seems that without a son-in-law, they are just out-of-date actors.

What is this? This is called mistaking the platform for ability.

Wang Danfeng no longer felt resentful, but became worried instead, and asked carefully:

"Then tomorrow, we're going to attend the presidential inauguration ceremony, is that okay?"

Liu Heqing's heart finally settled down. He was afraid that his wife would behave inappropriately. It was all his negligence before. Who would have thought that his wife would actually have the idea of ​​trying to stop a chariot with her bare hands?

If it were in ancient times, Wang Yuanchao would at least be a king or a prince-level figure. How could such in-laws as them be so disgusting?

He smiled and said:

"Didn't Yuan Chao say that he would be polite to us when the time comes? After all, his status in the United States is sensitive and he is deeply tied to the Reagan family."
