Lan Baozhen closed the door and stayed outside with McDull.
Gu Xinzhou first picked up the manuscript.
Fang Jingting's handwriting was like a swimming dragon, clear and bright, and she could read every word.
In the letter, Fang Jingting first mentioned that he was not truly penniless.
He had about two hundred million US dollars deposited in Swiss Bank, and this money was left for her.
Inside the iron box, the envelope contained the will that would allow her to inherit this deposit, as well as all the information for that account at Swiss Bank.
The fountain pen was a gift his father gave to him when he was eighteen.
So, he left the pen to her, telling her that this was a pen passed down from their ancestors and that she was a child with roots.
The rest of the letter carefully detailed the ups and downs of Fang Jingting's life.
Fang Jingting mainly mentioned three people.
These three individuals had a particularly great impact on his life.
One was Fang Jingting's father, who was also Gu Xinzhou's great-grandfather. The words mostly revolved around subjects like strict family education, a scholarly home, university presidency, and unyielding integrity.
Another was Song Enshuo, the chairman of Song Corporation.
Fang Jingting said that the thing he regretted most in his life was taking on such an apprentice.
Back then, Song Enshuo was not called Song Enshuo, but Song Fukai, a clueless young kid without any skills.
Seeing that Song Fukai was young yet had no particular talent, he followed his father's principle of teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish, letting Song Fukai be the cashier and learn bookkeeping.
Latterly, he discovered that Song Fukai was fairly good at math, so he encouraged him to attend night university and even to study for a formal accounting qualification.
It was he who pulled Song Enshuo up from the grassroots, step by step.
It was also he who personally helped Song Fukai change his rustic name into Song Enshuo.
The reason for choosing this name was the hope that he would understand gratitude, not forget his origins, and achieve plentiful results.
But in the end, after Song Enshuo thoroughly understood the principles behind the products made by Fang Jingting's company and mastered the specific details of the parts suppliers, he resigned to strike out on his own.
The company's executives soon discovered identical products on the market and urgently notified Fang Jingting.
After Fang Jingting investigated, he found that it was Song Enshuo's newly established company that made them.
He confronted Song Enshuo to ask why.
Song Enshuo knelt down crying before him, saying that his wife was pregnant and about to give birth. He knew that copying the products was wrong, but he still wanted to try, he wanted to stand out. He begged Fang Jingting to let him off just this once and not sue him.
Before Song Enshuo's resignation, Fang Jingting had already decided to give the subsidiary under the group, which he was planning to place in Song Enshuo's management, as a gift to Song Enshuo.
Because Fang Jingting was extremely fond of the old ministers who had fought alongside him from the beginning, let alone the child he had personally promoted.
After hearing Song Enshuo's explanation, Fang Jingting felt regret and heaviness in his heart and turned to leave.
Before leaving, Fang Jingting told him that he would not pursue the matter this time, but he would no longer recognize Song Enshuo as his apprentice.
Latterly, using his relentless tactics, Song Enshuo's business grew larger and larger.
However, his products were always replicas of Fang Jingting Group's old ones.
With the rapid advances in technology and under immense competitive pressure, Fang Jingting's R&D team finally developed a more convenient alternative. Once it hit the market, it was in high demand.
Song Enshuo's company also faced a crisis.
Because he had never thought about independently developing products.
He had never considered the possibility that his products could become obsolete.
Just as Fang Jingting's new product received huge orders from sixteen different countries and the media nationwide competed to report on it, Song Enshuo, driven to desperation, repeatedly came to plead for a meeting.
