The miracle doctor comes down the mountain: The beautiful CEO wants to support me
Chapter 1116 The Selfless Kong Family
Xiao Yi thought about it and called Huo An again, who happened to be nearby.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yi arrived outside a welfare home. The scene was crowded and very lively.
Soon, he met Huo An.
"Captain Huo, what are you doing..."
Seeing the many bigwigs from all walks of life in Hong Kong behind Huo An, he didn't know what to say for a while.
"This welfare home is newly built in Gangcheng. Today is the day of the move. All the children from the old facility have moved here. I came here to attend the opening ceremony."
Mayor Huo explained, his expression obviously changing.
He had received the latest information from Jiang Ying, but he didn't say much in front of everyone.
Xiao Yi nodded and quickly followed Huo An to an office in the welfare home.
"If the Taiping Society is related to the Zhu family, then this matter is really a bit troublesome."
Huo An's expression was complicated, somewhat beyond his expectations.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing what Huo An was worried about. One move could affect the entire body, not to mention that the Zhu family's status was not just about "one move"!
"If we can find Zhu Qi, everything will be clear."
Xiao Yi said.
"What I'm afraid of is that Zhu Qi has already disappeared from the face of the earth."
Huo An replied.
Xiao Yi nodded slightly. This was also what he was worried about.
"How about...I or I find someone to try the Zhu family first?"
Huo An asked.
"Just waiting like this is not a solution after all...but..."
"But I'm also worried that if I move too much, I'll alert the enemy."
Xiao Yi continued.
"Ah."
Huo An nodded.
"Brother Huo's idea is exactly the same as mine. I am the only one who can be the candidate."
"you?"
Huo An frowned slightly, and after thinking about it again, it seemed to be true.
"I have just mentioned this to Lao Gu. Today, I will try to find a way to visit the Zhu family."
"But... isn't that a bit too deliberate? What if it really is the Zhu family? How can you guarantee your safety?"
"Don't worry, if he really turns hostile, it will save you some trouble."
"Then I'm here..."
Huo An was a little hesitant.
"I don't need any support from any force. Let me explore first."
Xiao Yi declined.
"Will it be too risky?"
Huo An was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, my life is not something that can be taken by just anyone."
Xiao Yi said confidently.
Huo An said no more, but he felt that necessary preparations should still be made.
Before he could say more, there was a knock on the door and Secretary Song came in.
After quarreling with Xiao Yi, he hurried to Huo An.
"Mayor, I just got the news that the one who actually funded this welfare home was not the Gangcheng Chamber of Commerce, but the Kong family, head of which is Kong Bowen."
Secretary Song said directly.
"the Kongs?"
Huo An frowned, very surprised.
"Yes, Kong Bowen has arrived. Also, the ceremony will start in five minutes."
Secretary Song said.
"it is good."
Huo An responded.
"Brother Xiao, you..."
"I was planning to leave, but now I've changed my mind."
Xiao Yi said.
Huo An once told him that although the Kong family was not as powerful as the Zhu family and the Li family, it was also a giant in Hong Kong City. It was just that they were extremely low-key in their daily lives and never had major disputes with the other two families.
In addition, the head of the Kong family, Kong Xianghui, is also the benefactor of Huo An's family.
However, ever since Huo An became the mayor of Hong Kong City, he has taken the initiative to keep his distance from the Huo family and Huo An.
Taking all these into consideration, Xiao Yi left a good impression on the Kong family.
"it is good."
Huo An said no more.
Just as he was about to get up, another staff member came to report that Kong Bowen was already outside the door.
Seeing this, Huo An quickly walked over to him.
"Mr. Huo."
The head of the Kong family, Kong Bowen, appeared. Although he was over fifty years old, his temperament was no different from that of a forty-year-old. He was thin and looked very energetic.
"Kong...Brother."
Huo An directly called him "Big Brother".
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
"Mayor, I don't deserve this."
Kong Bowen shook his head.
"There are no outsiders here, so we don't need to use those false formalities."
Huo An was humble and his feelings for Kong Bowen were genuine.
If the old patriarch Kong Xianghui had not extended a helping hand to their Huo family, they would never have been able to return to Gangcheng.
Kong Bowen smiled and nodded, and glanced at Xiao Yi out of the corner of his eye. He naturally knew who it was.
"How is Uncle Kong's health lately?"
Huo An said with concern.
"This……"
Kong Bowen's smile disappeared and he sighed.
"Alas, I have been feeling a little unwell lately. Perhaps my life span is coming to an end."
"What? Then why didn't you tell me earlier so I could go see Uncle Kong."
Huo An frowned.
"Not everyone in the Kong family knows about this. Moreover, the old man specifically told you not to let this news reach your ears."
Kong Bowen said.
"This... I know the old man is worried about the impact it will have on me, but the old man is stubborn, you can't stop me from doing my best, right?
My father passed away early, and I have long regarded Uncle Kong as my father. You don't want to put me in an unkind and unjust position, right?"
Huo An was somewhat excited, and always felt that he owed the Kong family.
"Brother Huo..., it's precisely because I don't want to, because I know that the old man actually wants to see you in his heart, that I decided to tell you."
Kong Bowen sighed softly.
"I will definitely go see Uncle Kong as soon as possible."
Huo An nodded.
"Also, was this welfare home built with money from your Kong family?"
"Yes, that was the old man's idea. Maybe he had a premonition and wanted to do something before he left. It was also his idea not to make it public at the beginning.
I don’t want you or anyone else to know about this. In fact, few people know about this now.”
Kong Bowen explained.
"Uncle Kong really has good intentions..."
Huo An sighed.
"This is...Mr. Xiao, right?"
Kong Bowen's gaze finally fell on Xiao Yi.
"Yes, let me introduce you."
Huo An came back to his senses and introduced Xiao Yi. Naturally, he did not mention Xiao Yi's official background, but only mentioned that they had a good personal relationship.
"Master Kong, I have long admired you."
Xiao Yi said.
"To be honest, Mr. Xiao, I have also been paying attention to your recent activities in Hong Kong City. You are truly courageous and resolute. After seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a rare talent."
Huo An praised and the two shook hands.
"You are too kind, Master Kong."
Xiao Yi smiled modestly.
"Mayor, the time has come."
Secretary Song stepped forward to remind him.
"Okay, Brother Kong, Brother Xiao, let's go out and cut the ribbon."
Huo An invited.
The two nodded and followed Huo An out.
Next was the opening ceremony of the welfare home. The entire ceremony lasted for more than an hour, and people from all walks of life in Hong Kong and the city donated enthusiastically.
In the end, Kong Bowen did not actually stand in front of the crowd to accept the tribute.
"It seems that there really are gentlemen in this world."
Xiao Yi muttered in his heart.
Or rather... it was infinitely close. Anyway, he himself was not...
After all, few big families would do something like this quietly. Most would do it for fame, if not for money. But the Kong family wanted nothing.
Afterwards, led by Huo An, people from all walks of life visited the entire welfare home. Both the hardware and software facilities were top-notch even internationally.
Seeing so many abandoned or sick children being properly placed, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little respect.
He was wondering if it was possible for him to meet an old senior like Lian Xianghui.
In addition, he was also thinking that the orphanage of the old director Zhonghai should also be upgraded and renovated...
