Two playful doll braids, a beautiful and fancy vest and a small skirt, who dares to imagine that such a lively dress is actually from the richest woman in Asia.
While obsessed with these eye-catching, nondescript outfits, she was listening to a feng shui master who said that she could find her abducted and missing husband if she dressed younger, girly.
She is Gong Ruxin, who served as the chairman of Chinachem Group in Hong Kong.
So, how was her husband kidnapped?
In April 1990, as usual, Wang Dehui walked leisurely in the direction of home alone after socializing with friends.
Unexpectedly, several men suddenly appeared, held him down and kidnapped him a few times, and demanded a huge ransom of $60 million from Gong Ruxin.
Although Gong Ruxin was anxious, but 60 million US dollars is really not a small amount, she asked the kidnappers, can they hand it over in batches, she first scraped together 30 million, and then make up the rest.
The kidnappers agreed, and let Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui talk on the phone, but this turned out to be the last contact between their husband and wife.
After Gong Ruxin handed over the $30 million he had worked hard to raise, the kidnappers lost their trust and had no news.
At this time, Gong Ruxin really panicked, she thought that as long as she obediently followed the meaning of the kidnapper, she could exchange money for her husband's life, but she did not expect that the news of her husband was also unknown.
There was no way, Gong Ruxin had to pin her hopes on the police again.
The police tracked down the kidnappers' bank accounts, captured the kidnappers, and brought them all to justice, but her husband, Wang Dehui, was brutally killed by the kidnappers and thrown into the sea.
Gong Ruxin couldn't withstand this sudden blow all of a sudden, she didn't want to believe that it was true, and without seeing her husband's corpse with her own eyes, she always believed that her husband was still alive in this world.
This is not the first time Wang Dehui has encountered gangsters. As early as seven years ago in the same month, Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin had already fallen into danger once.
At that time, the two were driving to work, and the masked man who rushed out hijacked their car, but only detained Wang Dehui, and Gong Ruxin was released and returned home, preparing a ransom of $11 million.
Gong Ruxin was anxious to rescue her husband, and really took out tens of millions according to the gangster's request.
And the kidnappers did what they said and put the hostage Wang Dehui home. In the end, the kidnappers were caught by the police, and the case was over.
But this kidnapping still left a psychological shadow on Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin. They have been afraid of what to do if something really happens.
Therefore, Gong Ruxin hired several bodyguards to protect the personal safety of the two.
After a few years, Wang Dehui also relaxed his vigilance.
And when he went out, he followed a few bodyguards, and his movements and privacy were more restricted, so Wang Dehui proposed to remove the bodyguards.
Gong Ruxin also relaxed her vigilance, feeling that the past few years have been very quiet, and there will be no more accidents, so she fired all the bodyguards and resumed her previous solitary travel.
But it was in this way that the second wave of kidnappers exploited the loophole, and the second kidnapping made Wang Dehui disappear in the world.
While insisting on looking for traces, Gong Ruxin did not forget to develop her career. When the husband is gone, the company is already like a fly without a head, and the whole company is scattered into chaos.
Gong Ruxin took the position of chairman at the time of crisis of the company, she is very business-minded and has strong ability, in just a few years, the company's business has expanded even more.
The company's business scope has expanded from real estate to finance, property, entertainment and catering, and has established many business contacts with the United Kingdom, the United States, mainland China and Taiwan Province.
Gong Ruxin's business fame has also grown, and many people have called her "Wonder Woman", "Queen of Buildings" and "Hong Kong's richest woman".
Some people conservatively estimate that Gong Ruxin owns about HK$26 billion in Chinachem Group's property, which is an astronomical sum for ordinary people.
However, at the same time, Gong Ruxin was still fighting a lawsuit with his father-in-law Wang Yanxin.
When the company's development momentum was just right, her father-in-law's eyes were getting stronger and stronger, and he took out a 1968 will, saying that Wang Dehui's inheritance would belong to him.
And how could Gong Ruxin bear to watch her career that she had worked hard for many years give up to others, so the two of them started a lawsuit. In the end, the lawsuit lasted for 8 years, and naturally ended with Gong Ruxin winning the lawsuit.
Not only Gong Ruxin's father-in-law, but also feng shui master Chen Zhencong also has a keen eye on Gong Ruxin's property.
Gong Ruxin was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer by the hospital shortly after winning her father-in-law's case.
Because the area of cancer spread is really large, no matter how clever the medical skills are useless to her. One day in April 2007, Gong Ruxin died of cancer at the age of 70, and a generation of business queens fell.
Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui have no children, and their 80 billion yuan of property is also donated to the state and charity in accordance with the will left by Gong Ruxin in 2022.
But Chen Zhencong expressed firm opposition, saying that Gong Ruxin's money was all his, because he had a will that Gong Ruxin had made for him a long time ago.
So after the death of this poor woman, her property was again fought over and fro.
In order to make his evidence seem more credible, Chen Zhencong did not hesitate to make up some peach-colored scandals between him and Gong Ruxin, and also showed a number of photos of the two.
However, it was not until 2013 that the court's final judgment ruled that Chen Zhencong's will was a forgery of Gong Ruxin's will and had no legal effect.
He himself was sentenced to 12 years in prison for forging a will.
As for the intimate relationship with Gong Ruxin before his death, it was Chen Zhencong's testimony from beginning to end, and there was no other human or physical evidence to prove that the two of them had other male and female relationships.
Chen Zhencong had already scooped up billions of property from Gong Ruxin before she was alive.
At that time, Gong Ru was anxious and anxious to find her husband. She listened to Chen Zhencong's feng shui theory and felt that her husband was still alive, and he might be stranded on a nearby isolated island, and if the right time was right, he could still be saved.
Gong Ruxin was also ill and rushed to the hospital, and she was confused about Wang Dehui, so she listened to his feng shui theory. As a result, Chen Zhencong asked for 3.2 billion yuan from the rich woman.
And he also claimed that dressing up as a young girl could change his life, so Gong Ruxin really changed her previous outfit and tied a twisted braid on her style;
Dressed in strange costumes that did not match his age and identity, he became a clown in the eyes of others.
Even so, Gong Ruxin still failed to find her husband.
Perhaps she has long known that it is impossible for her husband to return to her, but this has become an obsession for her, a support of faith, so she does not want to give up searching;
This also gave the so-called "feng shui master" Chen Zhencong, a scammer, an opportunity.
Speaking of Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui, the two can also be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Gong Ruxin's family conditions are good, and she has been like a little princess since she was a child.
Gong's father used to work together in a bank, and later met businessman Wang Yanxin, and the two of them saw each other, and later their relationship became better and better, and they became brothers who worshiped their son.
Later, in order to help Wang Yanxin's business development, Gong's father even quit his job in the bank and became Wang Yanxin's right-hand man.
Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui met during the frequent movement of the two families. The two are about the same age and can play together, and they often go to school and study together and play together.
Gong Ruxin is young, sweet and cute, her voice is well-behaved and moving, and her speech is also pleasant, and the adults of the Wang family like this clever little girl.
Seeing that his son also played with this little girl every day, Father Gong and Father Wang wanted to talk about setting up a family affair for them.
Later, Wang Yanxin moved to Hong Kong due to the transfer of business, and Wang Dehui also moved to Hong Kong with the change of family.
However, he and Gong Ruxin have always maintained contact, and the two have been communicating by writing letters to each other.
In this way, the love between the two people from playmates at the beginning slowly changed into the love of men and women. As they get older, they become more determined to love each other.
But something unfortunate happened, in 1949, Gong Ruxin's father was hit by a maritime storm while going to sea to discuss business, and died in this accident. The Gong family suddenly lost its pillars, and the family's economic resources were almost cut off.
Although Gong Ruxin's mother is sad, she is also very strong. Seeing that her four children were still immature, she tenaciously supported the family.
Although the family is no longer as rich as before, Gong Ruxin's mother still desperately found work to do, so that several of their brothers and sisters finished their studies.
Under her mother's hard work, several siblings received a good education, and Gong Ruxin entered the Chinese department of Shanghai Normal University, but later dropped out due to illness.
At this time, Wang Dehui suggested in his letter that Gong Ruxin come to Hong Kong to study, there were many job opportunities there, and he also did ideological work for his family.
Wang Yanxin thought about his friendship with Gong's father in the early years, and felt that this was also the right one, so he agreed to his son's suggestion. In this way, Gong Ruxin went to Maryknoll School in Hong Kong for a year.
After graduation, Gong Ruxin went to work as a secretary in an accounting firm.
However, she was still junior at the time, made mistakes at work, misspelled English words when typing English letters, so she was reprimanded by her boss, she was young and vigorous, so she quit her job and went home.
In 1955, 18-year-old Gong Ruxin was already of suitable age for marriage, and Wang Dehui also proposed with his parents the idea of marrying Gong Ruxin.
But at that time, the Gong family had declined, no longer as brilliant as it was more than ten years ago, and Wang Yanxin and his wife naturally wanted to find a other half for their son.
But Wang Dehui is a young generation who does not care about traditional rules, he has his own ideas, Wang Yanxin and his wife love their son very much, so they had to agree to the affair between the two of them.
So Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui held a wedding in Hong Kong.
After getting married, Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui bought a new home outside to live together, and they believed that the career they had worked was the most valuable.
So in 1960, the couple used the money they earned to start Chinachem Group.
They are all very business-minded and have a keen vision. Taking advantage of the "June Seven Incident" to make a fortune.
At that time, due to social reasons, the development of all walks of life entered a period of stagnation.
Everyone was eager to flee the local area, but Gong Ruxin went against the crowd, feeling that it was when everyone withdrew their investment that it was a good opportunity for their own development.
She and her husband thought together, so the couple rushed into the real estate industry, and Wang Dehui invested a lot of the company's funds in real estate.
In this way, the husband and wife joined hands to expand Chinachem's western medicine import business to real estate.
Gong Ruxin had a keen sense of business, and as she expected, it didn't take long for Hong Kong's real estate industry to recover and become active.
During the real estate downturn, Gong Ruxin relied on the land harvested at low prices, and now it is sold at a high price.
In this way, Chinachem Real Estate suddenly became one of the forefront of Hong Kong's real estate industry, and everyone was surprised that they were regarded as a dark horse.
In 1979, Chinachem Group had become one of the largest private real estate developers in Hong Kong in the 70s, and the husband and wife of Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui were worth more than 10 billion.
Later, after her husband was kidnapped, the burden of the company's development fell on Gong Ruxin alone.
She has worked hard to continue the career left behind by her husband.
Every day, Gong Ruxin will listen to the reports of employees and develop work for more than an hour, and personally monitor the construction of the company.
Through Gong Ruxin's leadership, Chinachem Group is more influential than Wang Dehui when she was alive, and she has made the group bigger and stronger.
However, even though Gong Ruxin's worth is so high, her life is still extremely low-key.
She devotes most of her time and energy to the cause she loves, and for beauty projects such as eating, drinking, skin care and hair care, it can save money and have no requirements.
In her free time, Gong Ruxin will also have her own hobbies.
Gong Ruxin usually likes to enjoy some dances and dramas, and also goes to see some art exhibitions. Usually, she also likes to read Lu Xun's books and taste the cultural charm of literary classics.
Recalling Gong Ruxin's twists and turns in her bizarre life, her life experience can be described as extremely rich.
The family is in the middle, leaving home to study, get married, and work hard with her husband to create a career that belongs to the two;
Her husband was kidnapped and disappeared, and he took all his career and worked alone;
He tore his face and fought a lawsuit with his father-in-law, was fooled by feng shui masters, and even after his death, he was rumored and troubled.
In this life, she has experienced so much, but she has also lived herself.
