Volume 7: Mr. Love, Elite Lawyer, and Two Conjectures about Marriage Chapter 495 Xue Kexin's complicated family relationships
In the empty gym, Xue Kexin looked at the dejected Chen Tonggang and frowned slightly:
"Tong Gang, are those fitness equipment purchased or rented?"
"I don't know either. Gangzi bought all those fitness equipment. He told me that he bought them, but..."
Speak of the devil, and before Chen Tong could finish his words, Gangzi ran in in a panic. Looking at the empty gym, he said in horror:
"Tong Gang, what's going on? Where are the fitness equipment and stuff?"
"Where have you been these past two days?"
Seeing Gangzi, Chen Tonggang walked towards him and said calmly. Seeing that Chen Tonggang's expression was a little strange, Gangzi hesitated and said:
"No, didn't you ask me to ask investors for money?"
As Gangzi spoke, he pointed to the bandage on his forehead and said:
"This is what I found out about them."
"Are you trying to hurt me again?"
"How could I possibly harm you?"
While looking at Chen Tonggang, Gangzi slapped his chest and swore:
"You are my best brother. Am I the kind of person who would hurt my brother?"
"Okay, you're my brother!"
Looking at Gangzi, Chen Tonggang nodded slightly and said:
"Tell me, are those fitness equipment rented or purchased?"
Seeing that Chen Tonggang already knew it, Gangzi hesitated for a moment and said:
"How can such a good thing be so cheap? Of course it is rented..."
"Do you believe I can send you back to the hospital?"
"Tong Gang, calm down!"
As they were talking, Chen Tonggang and Gangzi started to wrestle together. The thin Chen Tonggang tightly strangled Gangzi's neck with both hands. Although Gangzi was strong, he let Chen Tonggang use force on him. On the one hand, it was because he and Chen Tonggang were good brothers, and he was indeed wrong in this matter. On the other hand, it was because Chen Tonggang was powerless and not really angry, otherwise, he would not strangle Gangzi's neck, but punch him hard. The two of them were acting like a double act in front of Xue Kexin. Xue Kexin was naturally not a naive person. Seeing Chen Tonggang who was so weak that he couldn't even hit people, she was disappointed in her heart, but on the surface she stopped them and said:
"Alright, stop it, how much money did the investors take away in total?"
"About 24 million."
Chen Tonggang and Gangzi answered in unison. When they heard Xue Kexin asking them to stop, they stopped decisively. Seeing that Chen Tonggang had lost more than 24 million because of Gangzi, but he was not angry at all, and it seemed that he was going to continue to be a good brother with Gangzi, Xue Kexin did not say much on the surface, but in his heart for the first time he agreed with his father's words. A man like Chen Tonggang is like a soft sheep. He always speaks in a soft voice. He does not have the bloodiness and courage of a man. He is only suitable to be a pet, not a man.
Feeling disappointed, Xue Kexin looked at Chen Tonggang and Gangzi and said unhappily:
"Did you call the police?"
"I reported it, but they said there was insufficient evidence and the police couldn't handle the matter..."
Seeing Gangzi's hesitation, Xue Kexin said with some doubt on her face:
"How can there be insufficient evidence? There is no record of transfer of over 20 million yuan. Did you trade in cash?"
"No, of course it wasn't a cash transaction. The more than 20 million was transferred to a private equity fund account..."
Knowing that Xue Kexin was not as easy to fool as Chen Tonggang, Gangzi could only tell the truth:
"You know, the recent environment is not very good, and I don't know what those people did, so I lost all my money... "
"You used the company's money to invest, right? Did they give you kickbacks?"
Xue Kexin looked at Gangzi and said bluntly, the company lost more than 24 million, Chen Tonggang did not know how to judge people, and this Gangzi was even more of a disaster, and he was even in cahoots with those people. Who knows if they had any private transactions? After all, it was the company's money and their Xue family's money that was lost, not his own money. Even if there was no insider trading between them, it was still dereliction of duty. He misappropriated the company's money for investment and ended up losing it all. This was a blatant criminal act.
Seeing that Xue Kexin suspected that he had taken kickbacks, Gangzi immediately explained excitedly:
"No, I didn't take any kickbacks. I just wanted to use the money to make more money, but I was cheated..."
"Who knows if what you said is true?"
Before Gangzi could finish his words, Xue Kexin interrupted him and said:
"Let the police investigate. You and those..."
Seeing that Xue Kexin wanted to hand him over to the police, Gangzi immediately said:
"No, I didn't embezzle that money. Tong Gang agreed to let me use it for investment. Even if you call the police, it's none of my business!"
"What?"
"What?"
Chen Tonggang and Xue Kexin were both surprised to hear Gangzi say this. Xue Kexin looked at Chen Tonggang, waiting for his explanation, but Chen Tonggang had no idea what was going on. He looked at Gangzi with his eyes slightly wide open and said:
"When did I agree to you investing the company's money?"
"Didn't I give you a document to sign before?"
After taking a look at Chen Tonggang, Gangzi hesitated and said:
"You were playing King of Glory at the time, and you signed the document without even looking at it. Then I invested all the money. You all know what happened next. I really wasn't in the same group with them, otherwise why would I come back?"
"You're hurting me again?"
Hearing Gangzi say this, Chen Tonggang said angrily:
"I signed the document without even looking at it because I trusted you, but what about you? Is this how you repay me?"
"I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to help you make more money and make some for myself at the same time. You want to be a big boss, drive a Land Rover, wear a famous watch, and wear famous brands. Don't I want to do the same?"
Gangzi spread out his book and said:
"Now that things have come to this, the money will definitely not be returned. It's all lost. They told me that investment is risky and I signed the documents, so this is a legal investment, not a scam."
After listening to Gangzi's words, Xue Kexin was almost pissed off to death by him and Chen Tonggang. It seemed that she had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.
After a short pause, she looked at Chen Tonggang and Gangzi and asked:
"How much money is left in the company's account? Have you touched the money in Zhirui Tianjie's account?"
"Yes, there are still about 200,000 yuan left in the company's account, which is not enough to pay the salary this month."
Glancing at Xue Kexin, Chen Tonggang whispered, and then Gangzi added:
"There are still several thousand dollars left in the private equity fund, and they said we can withdraw it now."
Hearing Gangzi say that there were still a few thousand yuan left in the private equity fund, Xue Kexin almost vomited blood in anger. More than 24 million yuan was lost into a few thousand yuan. It would be better to lose it all. Just as she was taking a deep breath, Chen Tonggang said:
"How about I sell the car to pay Qi Wei and the others?"
Hearing Chen Tonggang's words of responsibility, Xue Kexin couldn't hold back her anger and blurted out:
"Sell the car? The car is in your name? You're selling it?"
After being choked by Xue Kexin, Chen Tonggang felt a little embarrassed and asked:
"So what do you say we should do?"
"What can I do? I can't just watch Zhirui Tianjie go bankrupt, right?"
After taking a look at Chen Tonggang and Gangzi who were looking listless, Xue Kexin took a deep breath and said:
"Now I can only ask my dad for more money."
"If I go and ask your father for help, won't he look down on me even more?"
Chen Tonggang said hesitantly. Seeing that he still cared about this, Xue Kexin couldn't help but said disappointedly:
"The most important thing now is to save the company, not to worry about your face. As long as the company can be revived, what does it matter if you lose face a little?"
Hearing Xue Kexin say this, Chen Tonggang nodded slightly in agreement:
"You're right. As long as it can save the company, I'm willing to lose some face!"
"It's not you who is embarrassed, it's me who is embarrassed, okay?"
Seeing that Chen Tonggang still hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, Xue Kexin was angry and said:
"My dad has already given you one chance. Do you think he will give you another chance?"
"What should I do then? Am I eliminated?"
"I'll go and beg him to give you one more chance. Three times the limit, you should make the most of this last chance!"
"Okay, I will definitely work hard!"
Hearing Xue Kexin's words, Chen Tonggang instantly became full of fighting spirit. Seeing him so optimistic, Xue Kexin couldn't help but sigh slightly. She only saw optimism in Chen Tonggang, but didn't see the slightest sign of learning from experience. She took one last look at Chen Tonggang and prepared to leave.
"I'm going to my dad's place. You think about what to do next!"
"Okay, I'll think about it!"
Chen Tonggang nodded slightly and said confidently:
"I will definitely succeed this time. I will bring Zhirui Tianjie back to life and make him bigger and stronger!"
“I hope so!”
After taking a last look at Chen Tonggang, who seemed to be full of energy, Xue Kexin left the gym carrying her Chanel bag. After she left, looking at Chen Tonggang, who was full of fighting spirit, Gangzi smiled and said:
"Come on, I'll take you to a fun place, relax for a while first!"
"Where are you going?"
Hearing that they were going to a fun place to relax for a while, Chen Tonggang instantly became interested. Gangzi walked out with him arm in arm:
"Hurry up and go, you'll know when you get there!"
"But I promised Ke Xin that I would think carefully about what to do next..."
"Think about it after you relax. There's no need to rush, right?"
"All right!"
…
After leaving the gym, Chen Tonggang took Gangzi to his brand new blue Land Rover. Gangzi felt itchy and decided to drive this time. He started the Land Rover and drove out. He stepped on the accelerator and drove to the bar that his friend had just opened. While enjoying the push from the Land Rover, he laughed and said:
"Haha, this back push feels so good, wow..."
"Drive slower and be safe!"
"I know. Don't be so scared. You have no manliness at all. I don't know what that girl Xue Kexin likes about you."
"What do you care about me?"
Chen Tonggang held the safety belt tightly with both hands, rolled his eyes at Gangzi, and said softly:
"Our Ke Xin likes the scholarly temperament like me. Do you understand the scholarly temperament?"
"Of course I understand. A scholar is weak and useless. What else is there?"
"Get lost!"
"Ha ha!"
After laughing for a while, Gangzi looked at Chen Tonggang and said funny while driving:
"Tong Gang, did you and that girl Xue Kexin have sex?"
"What's that?"
"That's it. Have you ever booked a room at a hotel?"
"No!"
Understanding Gangzi's meaning, Chen Tonggang couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said unhappily. Seeing him like this, Gangzi couldn't tell whether he really didn't have it or was just pretending, so he continued:
"Let me tell you, Xue Kexin's family is so rich, actually it's the same for both men and women. A rich second-generation man will get tired of a poor girl, and a rich and beautiful woman will also get tired of a poor boy. But if you have a child, it will be different. Do you understand what I mean?"
"cannot!"
Chen Tonggang rolled his eyes at Gangzi and said speechlessly:
"I'm not the kind of person you say I am, and neither is Ke Xin. We really love each other!"
"Anyway, I don't believe in true love. I only believe in money. If you have money, pretty girls will like you. If you don't have money, none of them will. This is actually pretty good. What do you think?"
"Vulgar, compared to love, what is money?"
"Hey, when you lived with me before, we were so poor that we could only eat instant noodles. Why didn't you say that money was nothing?"
"It's different now, it's different now, understand?"
"Just show off!"
…
Xue family.
After returning home, Xue Kexin changed into sportswear and played badminton with her father. While playing, Xue Guixiang deliberately asked:
"Ke Xin, is the gym doing a booming business recently?"
"certainly!"
"How's the financial situation?"
"Good!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at his daughter who had just concealed something for Chen Tong, Xue Guixiang smiled and said:
"Then why did I hear that all the fitness equipment in your gym has been moved away?"
"No, you already know everything, and you're still asking me?"
Being exposed by her own father in front of her, Xue Kexin said with a smile:
"You can't afford to lose this little money, right?"
"This has nothing to do with whether I can afford the loss, okay?"
Xue Guixiang looked at Xue Kexin and said:
"If you can't help him, then don't help him. Look, he has messed up a good company. Even if I have a big family and a big business, I can't stand him messing around like this!"
"Okay, then I won't help you. Anyway, there is no threshold for getting married now, and there is no need to pay for the marriage certificate."
"I'm telling you, I didn't agree to marry that guy!"
"Hasn't your deadline come yet?"
Xue Kexin smiled and said:
"Dad, I want to discuss something with you..."
"Ke Xin, please listen to me first!"
In the past two days, Xue Guixiang and his current wife Zhong Qihua had an unpleasant argument. Zhong Qihua ran away from home. Finally, Xue Guixiang compromised. Not only did he agree to Zhong Qihua's request for her brother to work at the group headquarters, he also let her move into the master bedroom, which was the room where Xue Kexin's mother lived before her death. Xue Kexin didn't know all this. She didn't even know that her father had registered his marriage with Zhong Qihua ten years ago.
Because of Xue Guixiang's initiative to give in, he and Zhong Qihua are now in love, and they feel like they are enjoying a second spring. He is also ready to take this opportunity today to confess everything to Xue Kexin. After a short silence, Xue Guixiang looked at Xue Kexin and said tentatively:
"Ke Xin, there is something Dad wants to discuss with you. You see, your Aunt Qihua has been with me for ten years. Have you ever thought about what would happen if one day she became the mistress of our family..."
"Okay, you don't need to discuss your affairs with me. Haven't you already made the decision?"
"You are my own daughter. If I don't discuss this with you, who can I discuss this with?"
Stopping playing badminton, Xue Guixiang and Xue Kexin went to sit aside and rest.
"Did you know that during the two days she was gone, I felt particularly uncomfortable? Whether it was work or life, I felt that everything I did was bumpy. It seemed that I couldn't live without her."
"Old man, I have to remind you that Yue Lao is now retired, and marriage is in the hands of the God of Wealth, understand?"
Looking at his daughter being lectured, Xue Guixiang was somewhat speechless:
"I should tell you what I just said to Chen Tong, do you know?"
"Chen Tonggang didn't intend to kidnap me, but Zhong Qihua is definitely making a one-time investment in you, with a lifetime return, don't you understand?"
Looking at her father, Xue Kexin persuaded:
"If she marries you, she will be at the pinnacle of her life. Do you know how sinister people are now?"
"Didn't you understand what I said? It's not that she can't leave me, it's that I can't leave her, okay?"
"If you can't leave, then leave. Fortunately, we have the notarization of pre-marital property. I don't trust her, but I still trust your lawyer."
At this point, Xue Kexin changed the subject and said:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Old man, can you give Chen Tonggang another chance?"
"Can I give him another chance? Buy him another company to cause trouble?"
Xue Guixiang rolled his eyes and said, seeing him like this, Xue Kexin hurriedly begged:
"Oh, there's no need to buy another company. How about this , you give me another five million?"
"If you're asking your dad for pocket money, that's fine, but not for Chen Tonggang. He's already ruined a medium-sized company with an annual profit of more than 10 million. If I'm still throwing money at him, wouldn't I be a fool?"
"Oh, Dad..."
Xue Kexin wanted to say something, but at this moment, the servant came over and reported:
"Master, Miss, Miss Zhong and Master Zhong are back!"
"Got it. You go down first. Ke Xin and I will be there soon!"
"Yes, sir!"
After the servant left, Xue Guixiang looked at his daughter Xue Kexin and said with a smile:
"Ke Xin, your aunt Qihua's brother Qiming has returned from the United States. He used to work in an investment bank there. I'll introduce you two to each other later."
"What is he doing back from America?"
Looking at his father, Xue Kexin doubted:
"Does Zhong Qihua want her brother to work in our company as well?"
"Oh, we are all family. Qiming is a talented person. Doesn't our group need such talents?"
Xue Guixiang laughed it off. Seeing him like this, Xue Kexin couldn't help but roll her eyes and said:
"Old man, you better think carefully and don't let the wolf into the house, okay?"
"Well, if you're really worried, why don't you join the group and I'll arrange a position for you?"
Xue Guixiang took the opportunity to say that Xue Kexin was already thirty years old and was still not working properly. He was his only daughter and the family property would belong to her in the future. That was why he looked down on Chen Tonggang. He hoped that there would be someone who could help Xue Kexin instead of a useless person like Chen Tonggang who was good at pleasing women but useless at other times.
