Chapter 50 (1/2)
”My birth itself is a tragedy, doomed me to bad luck.” Wang Jie lit another cigarette and came slowly as if telling someone else's story.
My father's name is Wang Hongyuan. He is the second son of Wang Bojun and the famous dissolute childe of Yancheng at that time.
Of course, indulging in entertainment and celebrities and beauties does not affect my father's business ability.
He is a top student of INSEAD business school and once worked as an executive officer in the schwyer family. In fact, Wang's industry has entered a bottleneck period in Wang Bojun's generation. It is Wang Hongyuan's return that makes this old enterprise bloom again.
However, when my father was most proud, he made a decision that shocked the whole Yancheng business community, that is, he married Lin Yajun.
Lin Yajun is my mother.
Why does this matter attract the attention of the whole business community? The reason is very simple. Three months before my father decided to marry Lin Yajun, there was a huge fire in Yancheng. Lin's industrial building caught fire, and the 21 storey building burned into an empty shell. At that time, more than 40 people were burned and countless people were burned in the building. Among the dead were Lin Shicheng, Lin's chairman, his wife and two sons, as well as seven or eight close relatives. Among the lineal relatives of the Lin family, only Lin Yajun who went out to travel survived.
Although Lin's industry is not like the Wang family, it is also a famous enterprise in Yancheng, but this fire completely destroyed the Lin family. The cause of the fire was confusing. Finally, the police explained that there was something wrong with the spirit of Lin Shicheng, the old man of the Lin family. He set himself on fire by lighting a gasoline barrel. Therefore, in addition to his huge losses, he had to compensate all the injured parties in the fire. What's more, the shareholders of the Lin family group sold off their shares one after another, and the partners broke off their relationship with the Lin family, so a famous family business declined.
In this case, Lin Yajun, the eldest lady of the fallen family, has almost no place in Yuncheng. But Wang Hongyuan announced at this point that he would marry Lin Yajun, which made many people think that there was something wrong with the second master of the Wang family.
Naturally, the Wang family disagreed. Led by Wang Bojun and his wife, as well as Wang's uncle and third uncle, several aunts and grandmothers took turns to persuade, but it didn't help. My father didn't know why, so he was determined to marry Lin Yajun.
The outcome of a dispute was that Wang Hongyuan threatened to leave, and finally let the family succumb. After all, he was the pillar of the family at that time. Once he left, it would be a disaster to the Wang family.
After Lin Yajun married into the Wang's family, he was safe. However, before long, there were rumors about the secret behind the fire of the Lin family. Some people say that this has something to do with Mr. Lin himself. He angered some unshakable people; Some people say it has something to do with Lin Yajun. She provoked some evil ways. Anyway, the Wang family has regarded Lin Yajun as ominous since then.
However, despite this, with my father's support, on the surface, no one dares to be difficult for Lin Yajun.
Things changed after I was born.
Originally, after I was born, Wang Bojun and his wife began to make some changes to my mother. After all, I am a male and one of the people who will inherit and take charge of the royal family's industry in the future. Therefore, there are countless celebrities visiting Daoxi in Yuncheng at one time.
However, an important event happened on my full moon day, that is, Mrs. Wang, who has always been in good health, suddenly died of illness.
This inexplicable coincidence makes the silent rumors rise again. Everyone in the family is angry with my newborn. Of course, my mother Lin Yajun is associated with resentment. Wang Bojun, who lost his wife, gave the child a strange name - Wang Jiujiu. Because the day of my full moon is September 9, in other words, Wang Bojun named me after his wife's death. It can be seen that this so-called grandpa doesn't like me and is even full of disgust.
Because of all kinds of prejudices, I didn't grow up in Wang's villas. I only occasionally went back to some big family gatherings.
Until I was twelve years old, according to the rules of the Wang family, I needed to go back to worship my ancestors. To put it bluntly, it is to upgrade from a boy to a man. From then on, we should start to learn the rules and participate in the management of the company.
I remember clearly that the weather was a little gloomy that day. Accompanied by my mother, I was sent to the ancestral hall.
Then I went into the dark sacrificial hall alone.
”And then?” I don't know why, when it comes to Wang Jie, Zhang Dabiao suddenly stopped and asked curiously.
Wang Kai shook his head and said with a bitter smile, ”I don't understand the things behind so far. I'm afraid you'll be confused, so I have to sort out the language.”
Later, I don't know what happened. Anyway, I screwed up the very solemn priest ceremony.
