The beautiful CEO's right-hand man
Ji'nan Southern Mountain Villa No. 16
Since learning that Su Beishan was a eunuch, Gao Fei felt a chill whenever he looked at the luxurious villa, and he didn't want to see Su Beishan again.
But this time he can't not come, because Subei Shan said something about his life.
After the red Ferrari drove into the courtyard, Su Beishan, who was half-reclining in front of the window under a sun umbrella reading a book, put down his book and stood up. After Gao Fei pushed open the door and got out of the car, he gave him a slight smile before turning around and walking into the living room.
Hai Bo said beside him: "Gao Fei, Vice President Yan, has arrived."
Gao Fei nodded and didn't say anything, hastily walking into the living room.
Yan Hong stayed in the yard and whispered something to Hai Bo.
"Sit down, this is freshly brewed tea, have a sip to quench your thirst."
Su Beishan sat in the chair behind his desk and personally poured a cup of tea for Gao Fei, bringing it over.
Gao Fei took over the teacup and said after drinking it all in one gulp: "I didn't come here to drink tea."
Su Beishan smiled slightly: "I know. But after all these years, you've come now, can't even wait for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea?"
"Can."
Gao Fei remained silent for a moment, then picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup.
Su Bei held the tea cup at the tip of her nose, closed her eyes slightly and sniffed for a moment before slowly taking a sip, followed by four or five seconds of savoring.
Unlike when he had just learned of the news, Gao Fei was now basically calm and composed, holding up his teacup in imitation of Su Bei Shan's manner, quietly savoring the tea.
For the next seven or eight minutes, neither of them spoke. The only sound was the gurgling of water as Gao Fei poured tea, making it seem like he had rushed over just to have tea with Su Bei Shan.
When Gao Fei lifted his teacup for the fifth time, Su Beishan finally spoke up. But it wasn't about his own life story: "Actually, you're the real Ghost Dance, aren't you?"
Gao Fei's action of drinking tea didn't have the slightest stagnation, and even his eyes didn't change a bit. He neither denied nor acknowledged it, but just calmly said: "Did Shen Yinbing tell you everything I said?"
"Hmm, Xiao Bing told me that night."
Su Beishan put down his tea cup. He looked up at a calligraphy hanging on the wall: "Actually, from the time you came to assassinate me, I knew you weren't an ordinary person. But I didn't expect that you were actually Ghost Dance. I know that with your assassination skills, it would be easy for you to kill me and get the three million US dollars."
Gao Fei still spoke in a calm tone: "It's not like it was easy, at the very least I almost died under that gibbon's claws."
Su Beishan didn't continue the conversation, and instead said to himself: "Considering Xiao Bing's feelings for you, if you wanted to kill her, it would be a matter of seconds - fortunately, you chose to protect her in the fastest way."
Gao Fei said coldly: "I'm not short of money now. After my western restaurant opens, I won't be short of money in the future, so there's no need to earn that bloody money at all."
"I know."
Su Beishan nodded: "You're not short of money, but some people are. After all, it's five million US dollars."
Gao Fei frowned: "Director Su, for the sake of Shen Yinbing, I'll call you Director Su. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I don't want to beat around the bush with you here."
Su Beishan clasped his hands together, placing them on the table as he looked at Gao Fei: "Alright, I'll be straightforward. You help Xiao Bing get through this difficult time and find out who is behind the assassination attempt. If you become my son-in-law, I will hand over the management of Beishan Group to you. If you really don't want to and have someone else in mind, then I'll give you 15% of the company's shares - most importantly, I will tell you your true identity."
Gao Fei slowly pushed open the teacup, staring into Su Beishan's eyes, and said slowly: "Your meaning is that if I can't find the mastermind behind the assassination of Shen Yinbing and completely eliminate her crisis, then you won't reveal my true identity?"
Su Beishan nodded, but before he could say anything, Gao Fei suddenly stood up and grabbed his throat, saying in a low voice: "Su Beishan, do you think I would dare not kill you just because of Shen Yinbing?"
"You certainly dare to, but if you kill me, there will be no one in this world who can tell you about your origins. This must be a regret for you, right?"
Gao Fei sneered: "If you don't tell me now, how will I know if you're deceiving me?"
Beishan slowly closed his eyes, and his voice became sharper: "Twenty-six years ago, when I hadn't yet founded the Beishan Group, I was just a clerk in an administrative department, and I wasn't married to Ruo Xuan, Xiaobing's mother. It was a bitterly cold winter, and the Fenghuang Mountain section of the Qinghe River in Jinnan was still a vast expanse of wilderness. Ruo Xuan took a long-distance bus from Beijing to Jinnan to see me - can you loosen your grip? I'm having some trouble speaking."
Gao Fei let go of his hand and poured a cup of tea for Su Bei Shan instead.
Su Beishan held a teacup, gazing at the grass script painting. His eyes were ethereal: "I remember it clearly. That day, the long-distance bus from Beijing broke down on the Fenghuang Mountain road section. Ruo Xuan called me from there and asked me to pick her up. By then, it was already dark."
Lowering his eyelids, Su Beishan continued: "After receiving the call, I immediately drove the company car to that direction. But it was quite unlucky, the car had a blowout halfway - by the time I arrived, it was already past 10 pm, but I didn't see her, so I asked the driver who was watching the cars. The big-bearded driver listened to my description of Ruoxuan and then pointed to a distant place by the riverbank, saying he thought he saw Ruoxuan go that way, probably to relieve herself."
After a pause, Su Beishan said: "I followed the driver's directions and got off the highway, walked along the riverbank towards the north to look for Ruo Xuan. I walked about 500 meters before I saw her walking towards me from the front, and it seemed like she was holding something in her arms."
When Su Beishan said this, Gao Fei's heart skipped a beat: If everything Su Beishan said was true, then Shen Ruo Xuan should be holding him.
As expected, Su Beishan smiled and said: "When she walked closer, I found that she was holding a baby in her arms. At that time, I was startled and quickly asked her where the child came from. She said that when she went down to the dam to relieve herself, she suddenly heard a faint cry of a baby in the north wind, so she curiously walked towards it and saw a girl who was only 16 or 17 years old holding a baby by the river, motionless. She said that at that time, she was scared out of her wits and quickly went over to hold the girl and persuade her not to do anything stupid."
Gao Fei bit his lip tightly and lowered his head.
Su Beishan changed his sitting posture and said, "At that time, we didn't have Xiaobing yet, but Ruo Xuan could vaguely guess that the girl holding the baby should be an unmarried mother - because she was too young, and marriage certificates were so strict at that time, it was impossible for her to get married. Moreover, Ruo Xuan also guessed that the child born by the girl should be a child of a married woman. Otherwise, she could have handed over the child to her boyfriend."
Gao Fei felt extremely thirsty and with great difficulty swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saying in a hoarse voice: "Continue speaking."
The girl nodded after being persuaded by Ruoxuan for half a day, and finally gave up the foolish idea of holding the child and jumping into the river. She handed the child over to Ruoxuan, knelt down and kowtowed, asking Ruoxuan to adopt the child. If not, sending it to an orphanage would be fine too. If she was still alive when the child grew up, she would let the child go find her somewhere. She told Ruoxuan that the child should have the surname Gao, and there was a word written in lipstick on the quilt.
Thinking of what Director Wang said, Gaofei curled his right hand with five fingers: "Later, did you send that baby to Hope Orphanage?"
If Su Beishan said so, Gao Fei could tell he was lying because the person who sent him to the orphanage that year was a vagrant named Cat.
Su Bei Shan nodded...
Nodding: "Yes, we later sent the baby to Hope Orphanage because at that time we were not yet married and could not raise the child."
Gao Fei sneered: "Was it you who sent the baby away, or was it you and your fiancée together?"
"He is a vagrant named Miao Miao."
Su Beishan explained: "Because I and Ruo Xuan are not yet married, if we take the baby to the orphanage ourselves, we will definitely leave a record there, which would easily lead others to misunderstand us as having a child before marriage. So we entrusted a vagrant named Catcat."
After hearing Su Beishan say this, Gao Fei fell silent.
He had basically determined that Su Bei Shan was telling the truth, because Director Wang told him that the vagrant named Miao Miao, who had sent him to the orphanage the day before, had died in a car accident, and except for the person involved and Director Wang, no one else knew that he had sent Gao Fei to the orphanage.
After a long silence, Beishan said: "Because of concerns about reputation, I and Ruoxuan never went to the Hope Orphanage. Then I resigned and established the Beishan Group. A few years later, we had Xiaobing, and a few more years passed before Ruoxuan had an accident... Alas, neither I nor Ruoxuan remembered that baby until you appeared beside Xiaobing."
"Are you not worried about my origins, that's why you secretly investigated me, found out I came from Hope Orphanage, and then confirmed that I was the infant your wife saved back then."
Su Beishan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's indeed like that. It's easy to confirm that you're the baby, because in nearly thirty years, there's only one person with the surname Gao in Heping Orphanage, and that's you."
He sighed and said, "I never thought that after 26 years, the baby saved by Ruo Xuan would appear beside Xiao Bing, protecting her - I think this must be Ruo Xuan's arrangement from beyond the grave, sensing that her daughter was in danger."
Gao Fei raised his head and asked, "Can't you tell me now where to find that girl who wanted to jump into the river with her baby in her arms back then?"
"Cannot."
Su Beishan shook his head: "Unless you promise me to help Xiao Bing get out of the crisis. Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't say it."
Gao Fei stood up, turned his head and walked towards the study door: "Su Beishan, I'll tell you, actually, after being an orphan for so many years, I've long been used to having no relatives or friends in this society. Even if you told me those things, I may not necessarily go look for her, so it's really unnecessary for you to use this as a condition to make a deal with me."
Su Beishan smiled slightly, without making a sound, and did not stop Gao Fei from leaving.
Gao Fei pushed open the door of X's room, his left foot stepping out as he turned back to say calmly: "Alright, I'll agree to it, but you'd better not go back on your word. If you do, I'll make sure you regret it even in death!"
