Chapter 148 Mom, Where Are You?
Secretary Xiao Wenqiang was instructing his assistant on the arrangements for the boss's trip the next day when the phone rang.
After hearing the contents of the phone call, he felt a pang of anxiety, hesitated for a moment, walked to the corner, and made a call to his old classmate.
Then, they knocked on the chairman's door.
Yu Haitao looked up from his computer. Upon hearing that it was about that rebellious woman again, his brows furrowed, and he impatiently loosened his tie.
He said in a disgusted tone:
"What's she up to now? Go and deal with it. Isn't three or four thousand yuan a month enough for her to spend?! Humph!"
"Yes, Chairman, I'll go right now."
Xiao Wenqiang immediately agreed and left the office.
He knew this would happen; the chairman wouldn't go to see that young lady in person.
It's really pitiful!
The young lady did make several phone calls complaining that she had no money and was starving.
He could only say that the chairman was busy and that he would talk to the chairman later.
But in reality, he didn't say that.
He didn't think she would starve to death, but he did see this young lady a few times when he went to parent-teacher meetings in place of the chairman.
His school uniform was filthy, and he was very thin, with a small face that looked dull and listless.
Only then did he realize that the child was truly having a hard time.
But so what?
He and she were naturally not on the same side, but rather on opposite sides.
The car was moving very fast, and almost all the other cars on the road were avoiding it.
When he arrived at the police station, he saw a young woman sitting at a table in the lobby. She had an empty bucket of instant noodles in front of her and was eating fruit.
Did you cut your own hair?
The surface is uneven and varies in length.
He was still wearing that dirty school uniform. It was late autumn, but he was still dressed very thinly, and he felt cold just looking at him.
He sighed inwardly; not every child from a wealthy family has a good life.
He smiled and greeted the police:
"Hello! I am Xiao Wenqiang, the secretary of Chairman Yu Haitao. The chairman entrusted me to handle this matter."
The investigating officer glanced at him, shook hands, then walked up to Xiaoxiao and said with a serious expression:
"Based on the information we have, your chairman is suspected of abusing children."
Haifeng Real Estate is a large and powerful company. Surely they wouldn't only give their child fifty yuan a month for living expenses?
And another thing! You're letting a 12-year-old child live alone in a rented room. What if something happens to him?
How could your chairman do such a thing?
The more the police officer spoke, the sterner his tone became.
"Sorry, officer. I really don't know anything about living expenses of 50 yuan."
As far as I know, the chairman gives his child over three or four thousand yuan in pocket money every month. I will report the situation to our chairman and we will definitely handle this matter properly.
As for letting the young lady live alone, well, the main reason is that the young lady doesn't get along with her family and they often quarrel. The chairman had no choice but to rent a house near the school and regularly send a housekeeper over to do laundry, cook, and clean.
Moreover, the neighborhood is very safe, so safety shouldn't be a problem.
However, since the police officer has spoken, I will definitely report this matter to the chairman and make proper arrangements.
Don't worry!
Secretary Xiao Wenqiang's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very sincere.
But did you see him say anything substantial?
Nothing.
She gave a small, cold laugh and looked at him, saying:
"If my scumbag father doesn't come to see me today, I'll make him regret it."
Xiao Wenqiang glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao out of the corner of his eye, looking down on her in his heart.
He really does have a childish temper.
Your mother has been missing for years. Now, the harem has a new empress, a young prince, and a young princess. The three of them are currently enjoying the emperor's favor.
Even the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Emeritus in the family don't care about you, the eldest princess, at all.
The more you make a scene, the more they will dislike you.
Why bother!
Be a well-behaved, quiet, and unassuming person.
Being sweet-talking and diligent, keeping the elderly couple happy, and squeezing a little money out of them until they grow up safely is the wise choice.
He kept complaining in his mind, and an impatient expression involuntarily appeared on his face.
"Young Miss, stop fooling around!"
The chairman is really busy, please be understanding.
I have some money here, it's a personal gift to you, you don't need to pay it back.
I think the chairman will definitely make up for your living expenses later, so please stop making a fuss.
As he spoke, Xiao Wenqiang opened his briefcase, counted out five hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to Xiao Xiao.
The little girl leaned back, squinted her eyes, and smiled at him.
"You will regret this."
After saying that, she turned to look at the police officer and said:
"Uncle, could you lend me some money? Just a hundred yuan will do!"
Xiao Wenqiang chuckled inwardly and said with a smile:
"Miss, I have some here. Take it first. It's not good to borrow money from the police!"
Xiao Xiao ignored him and stared straight at the policeman.
The policeman smiled helplessly, then reached into his pocket, pulled out a hundred yuan, and handed it to Xiaoxiao.
"Tell your uncle what you're planning to do."
"Nothing much, I just want to hail a taxi."
After saying that, Xiaoxiao took the money, put it in her pocket, and went out.
"Why--"
The police chased after her for a few steps, reminding her to be careful and to have a good talk with her father.
The little girl made a few "uh-huh" sounds, but the police couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
I watched as she flagged down a taxi and drove away.
Xiao Wenqiang was humiliated and annoyed, cursing under his breath.
"He's utterly hopeless!"
He didn't think the little girl could cause any trouble, but he still took out his phone and called his old classmate back.
Zhongxin Real Estate is a real estate company that rivals Haifeng Real Estate.
"Auntie, are you sure that Wei Yuliang is in that car up ahead?"
"Yes, that's him."
Upon seeing this, Xiaoxiao quickly ran over, stretched out her arms, and blocked the front of the car.
The driver angrily leaned out and shouted:
"Little girl, what are you doing? Get out of the way!"
"I'm looking for your boss. I have a billion-dollar deal to discuss with him!"
Xiao Xiao gripped the backpack strap and said in a crisp voice.
"ha--!"
The people in the car were both angry and amused.
Wei Yuliang, sitting in the back seat, rolled down the car window and looked at the young girl walking over with an amused expression, saying:
"Little girl, I am his boss."
"Hello! Uncle Wei, I am Yu Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Yu Haifeng of Haifeng Real Estate."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuliang's smile froze, and he looked the little girl up and down with surprise.
This doesn't look like it at all!
His hair looked like it had been chewed by a dog, his school uniform was filthy, and the sneakers he was wearing were coming unglued.
This is a child born into a poor family.
He shook his head angrily, his face darkening as he scolded:
"Little girl, I'm busy! I don't have time to joke around with you."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the driver to start the car.
“I know you and my scumbag father are fighting over a piece of land. Although I can’t help you get the land directly, I can do something to hurt him in the public eye.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuliang looked the girl up and down in surprise once again.
"You're Yu Haifeng's daughter?!"
"Absolutely true!"
"Then why are you dressed like that?"
......
After Xiao Wenqiang returned, he reported to the chairman, saying that the young lady was short of money. He offered her 500 yuan out of his own pocket, but she refused, saying she didn't care about the amount.
Yu Haifeng sneered through his nose and impatiently cursed:
"Ignore that rebellious girl, let her make a scene!"
The next day, a press release was published in the newspaper.
Heartbreaking! A 12-year-old girl was abused, and being able to eat was a luxury.
Recently, a heartbreaking case of abuse of a young girl occurred in this city.
This is 12-year-old Yu Xiaoxiao, who is emaciated and has a sallow complexion due to long-term abuse by her family.
Below, she wore a messy, dog-chewed hairstyle, a dirty school uniform, and sneakers with her toes showing.
In this kind of weather, the children don't even have a pair of thermal underwear and can only wear thin school uniforms to keep warm.
It is understood that the child's parents only give the child 50 yuan per month for living expenses.
Logically speaking, it's not a small amount, but let's do the math.
本市的早餐价格通常是0.5 - 1元，午餐和晚餐各2 - 3元，这样一个月下来餐费就需要130 - 200元。
Not to mention the costs of notebooks, stationery, soap, shampoo, and other daily necessities for children.
The total comes to more than two hundred.
Xiao Xiao only had 50 yuan, and in order to save money, she could only eat one meal a day.
Go to the market to buy the cheapest noodles, then go to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves that others don't want to eat.
Even so, the parents' living expenses are often delayed, and every day of delay means the child goes hungry.
As a journalist, I am deeply saddened that such a situation still occurs in today's society.
Moreover, because her family disliked her, the little girl had to live alone in a rented room at such a young age.
Who will guarantee the safety of the children?
We can't help but ask, how could parents bring themselves to do such a cruel thing?
We hope that all sectors of society will pay attention to children's rights, and we also hope that relevant departments will strengthen supervision to prevent such tragedies from happening again!
At the end of the article, it was mentioned that the little girl's father is reportedly a well-known real estate entrepreneur in the city, with a net worth of billions.
