Chapter 142 Rubber Plantations in the Philippines

After Haihua finished his filming work, he turned around and left without any psychological burden.

Dragons are also reincarnated from snakes, and are naturally calm and have little empathy. Even if you come to another world, you can't change your original thinking mode, so don't try to change others, you can only change yourself. If you can't accept it, then go your separate ways.

If you want to use me as a pawn, don't blame me for turning the table.

If his grandfather and uncle asked him to choose who to help first, he would definitely stand on his grandfather's side without hesitation. Without the protection of the elders, their whole family would have to sleep on the streets. Although the problems of food, clothing and accommodation have been solved in the other world, they would not fall to that point. He has seen the tragedy of the rabbit dying and the fox mourning for thousands of years.

The most urgent task is to eliminate the roadblocks and evil spirits as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the family. As for what kind of consequences this may bring to the uncle, it is no longer within his consideration. After all, as an intern, he has experienced the test of life and death for half a month, and he knows that he cannot have both. I am not a RMB, and I can't make everyone like me.

Although he could only sleep on the floor now, as long as he kept working hard, he would be able to become a successful person in the future. Therefore, he encouraged himself confidently: "Come on!" He believed that through unremitting efforts, he would be able to achieve his goal and become a first-class person.

Grandpa Chen Qing Ling was still in the study, looking at his grandson who had returned, and he was in a relaxed state. His mood also inexplicably improved: "I got the gift as I wished this time, I am so happy."

Haihua smiled slightly: "Yes, I have too many cases to investigate. I have refused to make a movie."

"If you don't want to make a movie, don't go. Grandpa has always been democratic." "I heard that you can get 1500 yuan for three days of shooting. The unit price is still quite high." Chen Qing Ling said tentatively

"Well, no matter how much money I have, I still like investigating cases." Haihua said firmly. "Director Lin said he would look for me for the next movie. Neither side has reached a dead end. I know my limits and will not affect my uncle." Haihua pointed out the reason tactfully.

"Okay, our little detective." Chen Qing Ling's eyes flashed with admiration, "Tell me, what cases do you have on hand?"

Haihua walked to the desk, picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Qing Ling, "This is a theft case I'm currently investigating. The suspect is very cunning and has not left any clues."

Chen Qing Ling took the paper and put on his reading glasses to read it carefully. "This case is a bit tricky... But I believe you can find a breakthrough. If you need help, feel free to tell grandpa."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Haihua felt warm in his heart, he knew that his grandfather had always been his strongest support.

"This is somewhat related to our antique shop. The other cases must be kept confidential."

Grandpa nodded: "I understand. Most antiques are of unknown origin. If you want to display them in a clear way, you still need some means and procedures. It is really not easy to find the big fish behind it. Those who are thrown out are all scapegoats."

"Who said it wasn't true? The Security Bureau was dispatched, but they only caught a group of red-haired, blue-eyed thugs." Haihua complained indignantly.

Grandpa asked worriedly, "It's so serious that the security bureau is here. Can you handle it? Interns don't need to go."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I can handle it." Haihua smiled confidently. "Besides, I'm not fighting alone. There are other colleagues with me. Besides, this is also a good opportunity to train myself."

Grandpa nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction: "You are worthy of being my good grandson, you are brave and decisive. But you must also pay attention to safety, and report any situation to grandpa in time. Even if you are not a criminal police, the Chen family can still support you, so don't be the first to rush forward, understand?" He understood that the first bird to stick its head out will be shot.

"I know, Grandpa." Haihua hugged Grandpa's neck coquettishly, "I will be careful. By the way, Grandpa, you just said that most antiques come from unknown sources. Is there any inside story?"

Grandpa hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Some antiques do enter the market through illegal channels, such as theft, robbery, smuggling, etc. Our antique shop must be cautious when purchasing antiques, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble."

Haihua nodded thoughtfully, "I see, it seems like the water here is quite deep. Grandpa, don't worry, I will be careful."

Haihua changed the subject: "Grandpa, what did Yue Shenlin quarrel with you about? Do you remember why you quarreled?"

Grandpa looked confused: "You still doubt him? Let me think about it... It's been too long... Is it the Philippines?"

As Haihua sat down, his grandfather said slowly, "I remember it now. It was about 13 years ago. Yue Shenlin brought a friend who said he was from the Philippines. He wanted to recruit a group of rubber tree scrapers in the mainland with high salaries. He asked me if I had any recommendations. He wanted about 300 people. All of them could be Chinese and manage a rubber plantation. The whole family could go with them and arrange for their children to go to school. The annual salary was 10 yuan, and the registration fee was 90 yuan. The condition was that they had to work for five years before they could return to China. The advertisements were posted all over the streets. The whole city was shocked at the time."

Grandpa Chen Qing Ling paused, took a few sips of water, and then his old voice sounded again: "At that time, your uncle Deqing and his wife also signed up, but they didn't have any money and heard that their registration was unsuccessful."

Haihua's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, "Grandpa, what happened later? Did anyone sign up?"

Grandpa shook his head. "Everyone thinks it's too risky. No one knows what will happen in the Philippines. Besides, it will take five years, which is too long."

Hearing this, Haihua couldn't help but frown, thinking about this question in his heart. He knew that for people of that era, such a decision was indeed full of risks and uncertainties.

However, Haihua did not give up easily. He continued to ask his grandfather, hoping to learn more details about this period of history.

Grandpa sighed and recalled: "At that time, many people were hesitant and afraid to leave their hometown for a strange place. After all, they were used to living in their familiar environment."

Haihua nodded to show his understanding. He knew that it took great courage and determination to leave his hometown and go to a completely unfamiliar country.

Then, the grandfather continued, "Although some people wanted to go, for various reasons, no one actually signed up for the project. This has become a forgotten history."

After listening to this, Haihua fell into deep thought. He realized that this period of history might not be well known, but it reflected the living conditions and mentality of people at that time. At the same time, he also admired those who had dreams and pursuits.

I thought to myself: "Maybe someone went, but Grandpa just doesn't pay attention to this matter anymore. After all, he denied it at the time."

"Then why does Yue Shenlin want to recruit?" Haihua asked.

Grandpa sighed, "I don't know the specific reason, I just heard him say that the Filipino friend is his business partner, and he wants to open a rubber factory in the Philippines and needs manpower."

Haihua thought to himself that there must be something behind this, "Grandpa, do you still remember the name or other characteristics of that Filipino man?"
