In the first half of 1998, the Asian storm still threatened Hong Kong, and the morale of the whole city was low.

One evening in early April, Zhang Jingxin was visiting his girlfriend Chen Shuru's house in Repulse Bay.

Chen Shuru is the Chen family's youngest daughter, Chen's husband and wife have two sons, two daughters, Chen Shuru is their middle-aged only to get the daughter, and their oldest son difference of more than a dozen years, from childhood the most loved, ten years old was sent abroad, until the recent return to the country to complete his studies.

Today, Zhang Jingxin was a guest in the Chen family, and it was also a sign that the Chen family recognized Zhang Jingxin as their youngest son-in-law. After enjoying the last dessert, everyone relaxed and gathered in the hall to drink tea and chat. Chen father nodded to Zhang Jingxin and signaled for him to leave with himself. Chen Shuru was a bit uneasy when she saw her father take Zhang Jingxin towards the study, taking advantage of her family's inattention, she quietly left the hall and peeked through the small door on the other side towards the study.

"Jingxin, sit!" Father Chen arrived at the study, invited Zhang Jingxin to sit down, and opened the cigar box, asking Zhang Jingxin if he wanted one.

Zhang Jingxin shook his head in thanks.

"Thanks uncle! I don't smoke!"

Father Chen lit his cigar and smiled at Zhang Jingxin with satisfaction, "Jingxin, I also watched you grow up, after your father's accident, you're off the hook!"

"Uncle, in the past, I was ignorant, everything had my father at the top, I always thought that the family is big, I can vigorously spend my life, how do I know that as long as a carelessness, can make a hundred years of foundation ruined. It's me who is unfilial, if I can wake up early, where my father needs to bear the pressure alone!"

Zhang Jingxin confessed his previous absurdity.

"Without this heavy blow, how can you so wake up in time, the courage to face everything, no loss for your grandfather's good grandson!" Chen father praised chapter Jingxin, chapter Jingxin childhood grandfather most favored, but also this favor so that chapter Jingxin teenagers do not know the taste of sadness.

"I'm very happy to be praised by uncle, I adore Shu Ru, I would like to ask you to let Shu Ru marry me as your wife!" Zhang Jingxin sincerely looked at Father Chen and proposed a marriage proposal.

Shu Ru is a good girl, pure and kind is rare in Hong Kong city, whether because of the interests, or because he had to marry, Zhang Jingxin think Shu Ru is the best choice for his wife.

Hiding outside the door of the study, Chen Shuru hand pressed tightly to the chest, although Shuru had long guessed that Zhang Jingxin would propose to his father, and now that he heard it with his own ears, his heartbeat could not help but begin to accelerate.

Chen's father was silent for a moment, then said to Zhang Jingxin, "I'm happy for Shu Ru to become your wife, but there's a bit that I have to pick apart to save you from regretting it."

"Uncle please!"

"Shuru has a slight heart condition, so if you don't mind and still want to marry her, I'd like you to have children two years later, when Shuru's heart is more stable. Of course, I'll understand if you want to reconsider the matter." Chen father's last sentence meant that even if Zhang Jingxin refused to marry Shu Ru, the Chen family would not blame him.

"Shu Ru had a heart attack?" Zhang Jingxin made himself sound as little different from usual as possible.

"Yes, I found out when I was ten years old, and I've been treated abroad and stabilized before returning home, the doctor said she'd be better off with a child in a few years, but the boy insisted on marrying you first."

Zhang Jingxin heart bitter smile, is his own anxious to get the Chen family's capital injection, only will again and again implied Shu Ru, now is can be married not can have children, get capital injection but not get the stock, is really the will of God, is so, Zhang Jingxin also had to go hard, he can refuse, but Zhang can not be refused, the Zhang family a hundred years of foundations can not be destroyed in his hands, the grandfather's teachings have long been into the bone.

"Uncle, if Shu Ru can't have a child now, we can wait, we are still young, we can think about the child when Shu Ru's health is not in danger."

"Good! I'm very relieved that you've taken such a stand, and I'll leave my little girl in your hands!"

Outside the door, Shu Ru listened to her father hammering away, the corners of her mouth pressed up and gently left the place, she was going to inform her mother.

After Shu Ru left, Chen's father cleared his throat, and Zhang Jingxin heard the words he had longed for.

"Come to the Chen's building tomorrow to sign the cooperation agreement, I'm very optimistic about Zhang."

"Thank you Uncle for your solidarity!"

"We're almost a family, what are you talking about thanks!" Father Chen patted Zhang Jingxin on the shoulder and laughed.

Back at the Chapter compound, Chapter's mother hears the sound of her son's car returning and walks to the front door to greet him.

"Shin-chan, how was your trip to the Chen family today?"

"Mom, Uncle Chen has agreed to my proposal, so please ask the Master to pick a good day to discuss the wedding date with the Chen family."

"Oh! That's great, tomorrow mom will go and do it." Zhang mother is very happy, not only the Zhang Group needs this marriage, the Zhang family also needs it, seeing her son can start a family is the happiest thing for a mother, not to mention Shu Ru is also her favorite daughter-in-law.

Zhang Jingxin saw his mother happy, Shu Ru's condition did not inform his mother, the child's matter later on, that is, in the future really can not have a son, the father of the chapter does not dare to give the name of the shares to the other son? Not to mention a few years later in the chapter's own has been firmly established, just behind their own Chen's group, will let the father of the chapter again and again weigh, if their father is the kind of people who do not care about the chapter's foundation, chapter Jingxin will be randomly given to him shares to whoever. For the sake of the Zhang Clan's future, Zhang father was prepared to discard all of his prodigal first sons. Zhang Chen marriage, Zhang Jingxin has already half ass jailed Zhang Clan's position.

"Your father's still awake and asked you to come back to see him."

"Still not sleeping?" Zhang Jingxin looked at his wristwatch, it was already past 10 o'clock, so it was evident that Zhang's father was also anxious about Zhang's current situation.

Zhang Jingxin pushed open the door of his father's bedroom, the father of the chapter is half lying on the bed, the medical staff sitting next to him to measure his blood pressure. Chapter father this year 61, not before the stroke, the appearance looks only early 50s, a blow stroke, people rapidly aging, look very haggard.

Seeing his son come in, Chapter Father waved his hand at the medical nurse, signaling him to leave, and when the medical nurse closed the door to the room, Chapter Father looked at his son.

"New boy, did the Chen family promise to inject capital?" Zhang father's speech is vague, but Zhang Jingxin is accustomed to listening, half guessing, half listening to always be able to figure out what his father is expressing.

"Promised, I'll sign the letter of intent tomorrow." Zhang Jingxin sat down next to his father.

Zhang father laughed, but unfortunately after the stroke the facial muscles were not well controlled, the corners of his mouth laughed crookedly, and drool flowed out. Zhang Jingxin took a tissue to help his father dry off.

"How will Chapter develop in the future?" Zhang Jingxin made his father repeat this sentence before he could hear it.

"In the future, I want to enter the mainland, the mainland has a large number of people, the consumer market is huge, the way out of the chapter is there!" Chapter Jingxin and his father described his plans, since his father had a stroke, chapter Jingxin took over the company, after analyzing and studying the current situation, the chapter decisively withdrew from Southeast Asia, non-performing assets at a low price auction, back to the capital, that is, the chapter Jingxin's heroic move to slit his wrists, to save the chapter, did not completely sunk into this storm.

The father of the chapter nodded repeatedly, his eyes are full of relief, the prodigal son off the hook, he is the happiest one, the original he has been worried that the son in charge of the chapter will destroy this hundred years of foundation, now it seems, or the father than their own vision, to see the grandson's extraordinary, but also in the will to give the grandson of the chapter's ten percent of the shares, and so on the son after the marriage, their own hands of thirty-five percent of the shares can be assured that handed over to him. Zhang Clan has a son at the helm, is Zhang Clan's fortune.

At the end of May, Zhang Jingxin, the heir to the Zhang Clan, married the youngest princess of the Chen Clan, a marriage that was more of a sensation in Hong Kong, with newspapers describing the marriage as a match made in heaven, and a few suggesting that the Zhang Clan, now in financial distress, was looking for support by linking up with the Chen Clan. But the mainstream media still praised the marriage.

Shu Ru is very satisfied with her married life, her husband is gentle and considerate, even if he is busy at work, he will call and check in with her on time, and he doesn't come home late even when he is out socializing. The only thing that makes Shu Ru puzzled is that her husband has very little need for her, but thinking about her condition, Shu Ru is very touched, in order to their own bodies, her husband is so suppressed their own desires it.
