“Who cheated?”
When he heard Zhao Songwen ask him if he had cheated, Yuan Xudong said confidently:
"I'm not married, how could I cheat?"
"If you're not married, how come you have a wife and children?"
Zhao Songwen asked curiously. Yuan Xudong felt that this question seemed a bit silly. He looked at Zhao Songwen, who was full of curiosity, through the rearview mirror and asked back:
"Does whether I am married or not have any necessary relationship with whether I have a wife and children?"
"So you cheated?"
After listening to Yuan Xudong's words, Zhao Songwen suddenly realized something. Yuan Xudong just rolled his eyes at her and said proudly:
"This is true love, true love, do you understand?"
"Does Xue Kexin know?"
"I know. The pregnant woman just now is Xue Kexin's best friend. You won't go to Xue Guixiang and tell on her, right?"
"No, I don't care about your nonsense!"
"Then I'm relieved. Thank you. If you have time some other day, Xue Kexin and I will treat you to a good meal!"
"No thanks, no reward without merit!"
After rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen muttered to himself:
"Why do people have to get married?"
"If you don't want to get married, then don't get married. It's not against the law not to get married. Look, I'm a typical example of a non-marriage advocate!"
"It's not against the law, but it's against the secular law and the ethical law!"
"How can you have so many methods?"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Aren't young people nowadays just lying down? They all want to stay safe by not getting married or having children. Who cares about you?"
As he spoke, Yuan Xudong took another careful look at Zhao Songwen through the rearview mirror and commented:
"I think you won't have trouble finding a husband with your appearance, right?"
"Ordinary people judge people by their appearance!"
Zhao Songwen rolled his eyes and said, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"What's wrong with being an ordinary person? I just like being an ordinary person. Have you heard of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"
"I have heard it, what's wrong?"
"The person I admire most is Niulang, followed by Xu Xian and Ning Caichen. They are all my idols. Ordinary people can also defy fate!"
"vulgar!"
Unable to resist rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen continued:
"It was only after I came back to China that I realized there's a term called the marriage market. Marriage market, do you know that?"
"I know, isn't it just a dating website?"
“Yes, it’s a dating website!”
Zhao Songwen nodded slightly and continued:
"Talking about marriage has become a naked transaction, with people haggling over prices. Marriageable men and women are like apples on a street stall, waiting to be picked. Those who can't be sold will lose their value. What's the point of such a marriage?"
"Then you can choose not to get married, just like me, and be a non-marriageist. If you really meet the right person, you can get married, right?"
"That's what you said. Is this the reason why you don't get married?"
"No, I don't want to get married because I'm afraid of committing bigamy. Also, if I don't get married, I'll feel less guilty!"
"Scumbag!"
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen asked curiously:
"Are all rich men like you?"
"No, do you have any misunderstanding about rich men? Does this have anything to do with whether or not you have money?"
Yuan Xudong said straightforwardly:
"Let me give you an example. There are cats from rich families and cats from poor families. The cats from rich families eat fresh fish every day, while the cats from poor families eat their owners' leftovers every day. So can you say that the cats from rich families like to eat fish, while the cats from poor families like to eat leftovers?"
"Your analogy is interesting. Are you a rich family's cat?"
Zhao Songwen asked with a slight smile. Yuan Xudong looked back at her, and a smile appeared on his lips as he said:
"No, whether it's a rich cat or a poor cat, they are all cats in essence. They just eat different food, fresh fish and other people's leftovers. I'm going to ask you, are you a fresh fish?"
"boring!"
Rolling his eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen muttered to himself:
"If someone really loves me, I would marry him without hesitation, no matter if he is old or ugly, married or single!"
"Is this true? Why don't I believe it?"
"Believe it or not!"
"So what do you think of me? How about we try out the actual effect first?"
"Not so good, drive carefully and be careful not to hit anyone!"
"Don't worry, I..."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old man riding an electric scooter suddenly cut in front of Yuan Xudong's car from the intersection next to him. Yuan Xudong was so scared that he slammed on the brakes. Fortunately, he was not driving fast, but the incident happened suddenly. The old man riding the electric scooter suddenly appeared like a ghost, and Yuan Xudong finally hit his electric scooter. Then the old man fell in front of his car, crying "ouch, ouch". Listening to the old man's cry, the words "scam" flashed through Yuan Xudong's mind. He didn't know whether the bad guy had grown old, or Yuan Xudong had lost the traditional Chinese virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
However, Yuan Xudong quickly got out of the car. He didn't care about Zhao Songwen who was hit hard, but hurried to help the old man up and said:
"Uncle, are you okay? How about I take you to the hospital..."
"What's wrong?"
Before Yuan Xudong could finish his words, the old man sitting on the ground shouted at the top of his voice:
"Look at my injuries. They're so serious. And I don't care about my new electric car. You have to compensate me for my losses anyway!"
"Uncle, please get up first. Let's talk about something. What are you shouting about?"
As Yuan Xudong was talking, he was about to help the old man who had fallen to the ground up, but the old man blocked him with his hand, not only refusing to let Yuan Xudong help him up, but also refusing to let him touch his electric bike. He just stood by the road with the electric bike, and shouted:
"Don't touch me, hurry up and pay me. I spent 5,000 yuan on this new electric car, and I still have to pay for medical expenses, mental damages, and lost wages. Pay me 10,000 yuan, or I won't get up!"
"Uncle, are you trying to scam me?"
Looking at the old electric bike that was basically fine, and the minor scratches on the old man's arm, Yuan Xudong said speechlessly:
"I was driving straight, and you suddenly rushed out from the intersection and damaged the paint on my car. I haven't asked you to compensate me yet!"
"What do you mean by that?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was unwilling to pay the money and was still talking about his own faults, the old man who fell to the ground suddenly burst into tears and shouted:
"Everyone come and take a look, he hit me, not only did he not pay me, he even asked me to compensate for his car, and I am not even as good as his car paint!"
"What are you shouting about? Let's call the police to take a look. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're older!"
"The rich are bullying others, you conscienceless person, do you know that you should respect the elderly and love the young?"
"Then I am not You? Is this how you love You?"
"Do you have any shame? You drive such a nice BMW, but you can't compensate an old man like me for his losses, right?"
"Hey, you also know BMW?"
Looking at the old man sitting on the ground with full energy, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"I'm just a driver, I don't have any money in my pocket, and my lady is still sitting in the car, how about you give me a discount?"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was just a driver, the old man secretly cursed and then frowned slightly and said:
"How much can you compensate me?"
"How about a hundred bucks?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong was only willing to give him 100 yuan, the old man immediately said angrily:
"What can you do with a hundred dollars? Are you sending away beggars?"
"What about the two hundred dollars?"
"Get lost! I'm going to ask your young lady for money!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong angrily, the old man suddenly got up from the ground amid the pointing and groaning of the onlookers, and walked to the back of Yuan Xudong's BMW. At this moment , Zhao Songwen, who had been waiting impatiently in the car, got out of the car. She was wearing a black long skirt, chestnut wavy hair, tall and graceful. Such a beauty made the onlookers' eyes light up. Many people took out their mobile phones and started to shoot videos. Zhao Songwen glanced at the old man and Yuan Xudong who were making trouble, frowned slightly and said:
"What's going on? I'm in a hurry. Please deal with it quickly!"
"Got it, just wait a moment!"
Yuan Xudong smiled, and at this time the old man looked at the cold Zhao Songwen and shouted:
"Your driver hit me with his car, pay me now, or you won't be able to leave today!"
"What are you talking about?"
Looking at the old man who was talking nonsense, Zhao Songwen frowned and said:
"Who is our driver?"
"It's him!"
The old man pointed at Yuan Xudong and said, Zhao Songwen glanced at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"It's him, well, how much compensation do you want from me?"
"Fifteen thousand, including medical expenses, lost wages, money for my electric car, and compensation for my mental damages!"
"Not that much, I only have one thousand in my bag, do you want it?"
"You can use Alipay, WeChat, or mobile banking. If you don't mind the hassle, there's a small bank nearby where you can withdraw cash to compensate me!"
"You're quite skilled at this, huh?"
While the old man was looking for Zhao Songwen to ask for money, Yuan Xudong lifted his old electric bike from the ground, pushed it to the side of the road, and walked towards the old man and said directly:
"Since you are so old, I won't bother with you. I'll give you 500 yuan. If you agree to this, forget it. If you continue to make trouble, I will call the police. You can do whatever you want!"
"Five hundred is too little!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, the old man looked at Zhao Songwen and said:
"Girl, you said you would give me a thousand dollars!"
After looking at the old man who was scamming him speechlessly, Zhao Songwen took out all the cash from his wallet and handed it to him, saying:
"Here, this little money is nothing. You should do more good deeds for your children!"
Even after hearing what Zhao Songwen said, the old man still took the money indifferently, dipped his finger in saliva and counted the amount. After confirming that it was one thousand yuan, he rode away on his electric scooter. After the old man left, the crowd around him also dispersed, and Yuan Xudong and Zhao Songwen continued on their way.
In the car, Zhao Songwen looked at Yuan Xudong who was driving and stretched out his hand, saying expressionlessly:
"Give me back my money, one thousand yuan!"
"No, I never carry cash when I go out!"
As Yuan Xudong spoke, he opened his WeChat QR code and showed it to Zhao Songwen:
"Just scan it, let's add each other as friends first, and then I'll transfer the money to you, okay?"
"OK!"
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen smiled sweetly and scanned Yuan Xudong's WeChat with her own. After adding the friend, Yuan Xudong felt secretly proud. Isn't this going to get Zhao Songwen's contact information?
After transferring one thousand yuan to Zhao Songwen, Yuan Xudong habitually sent a dynamic emoticon package of a rogue rabbit that looked a bit mean, but he couldn't send it out because Zhao Songwen deleted him in seconds. Yuan Xudong immediately looked back at Zhao Songwen and said a little depressed:
"You deleted me now?"
"Then why keep you?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was pretending to be depressed, Zhao Songwen smiled and said:
"Apart from my family and friends, I only keep the WeChat accounts of my business partners and some important clients. If you really want my WeChat account, then prove your strength!"
"How do you prove it?"
Looking at Zhao Songwen who was smiling, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"I've looked at your company's website. The number of users has exceeded 300,000, and the total investment amount has exceeded 10 billion. Congratulations! When the company collapses, not only will you go to jail, but you will also have to drag old man Xue Guixiang down with you. It's a pity for those investors. Their hard-earned money is gone just like that. It's really pitiful!"
"What do you mean by that? I'm not a liar, okay?"
Zhao Songwen said with some embarrassment. Yuan Xudong glanced at her and smiled indifferently:
"It's nothing. I just heard that the prettier and more capable a woman is, the more ruthless she is. Your company has such a high return on investment, plus its own operating costs. If you don't falsify the data, where does all that money come from?"
"you……"
"Don't rush to refute me. I know what you're thinking. You're either planning to run away to the United States with the money, or you're looking for a scapegoat. If you want to run the company seriously and offer such a high return on investment, then I can only say that you're a big fool!"
"Huh, what do you know?"
Without refuting Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen directly changed the subject:
"Do you know what the interest rate for private lending is? I can still make money by lending money to companies that have difficulty in financing!"
"You're lying to a fool?"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"You can make a lot of money by lending money to companies that have difficulty raising funds, after all, they are short of money, but can you guarantee that you will get it back?"
Without waiting for Zhao Songwen to speak, Yuan Xudong directly exposed her:
"You are just pretending to lend money to those companies that are short of money. Maybe those companies are just empty shells. You transfer money from one hand to the other, creating some fake investment projects to fool ordinary investors who know nothing. The fundamental purpose is to raise money like a Ponzi scheme, right?"
"Nonsense, our company invests in legitimate projects, such as Kunbo Group's..."
Before Zhao Songwen could finish her words, Yuan Xudong interrupted her and said:
"Of course, there are true and false things. You must invest in some normal projects. Take Xue Guixiang for example. You must use some real things to fool him. Aren't all your investment projects written on the official website? Ordinary people don't have the ability to investigate, but I have the ability to investigate. Do you need me to send people to investigate every investment project of your company?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was threatening her with his words, Zhao Songwen panicked. The general environment of Internet finance is like this. If she doesn't commit fraud, she won't be able to compete with other companies that commit fraud. The annualized rate of return of other people's investment projects is more than 10%, 20% and so on, while the annualized rate of return of her company's investment projects is only a few points. Will hundreds of thousands of ordinary investors still invest in her Internet finance company?
On the one hand, she wants to take shortcuts and make quick money, and on the other hand, she is swept up in the current environment where everyone is cheating and no one cares anyway, so why should she go against the trend?
Of course, fake is fake after all. The company can change the data at will in the background of the investment website. It is okay for the annualized rate of return to be 100%, provided that investors cannot withdraw the money. The investment amount must always maintain positive growth. In other words, the money deposited in the company must be more than the money taken out. It is like drinking poison to quench thirst. The company must continue to expand its scale and borrow new money to repay old debts. When the expansion reaches its limit one day, the high interest rates can cause the company to collapse in a very short time.
All investors who fail to exit in time will be buried alive, and all their wealth will disappear in an instant. In addition to the broken capital chain, if someone exposes that the company's investment projects are fraudulent, then the Internet financial company will collapse in a very short time. Of course, there are also some people on the Internet who question the fraud of Internet financial companies, but the remarks of ordinary people are insignificant. If one person speaks the truth, a thousand water armies will immediately come out under the banner of keyboard warriors to completely drown him out.
This is an ordinary person, but it would be different if a billionaire questioned it. Whether speaking out on the Internet or collecting evidence privately and then calling the police, he can label the Internet financial company as a fraud company that raises funds illegally and commits financial fraud. In fact, aren’t Internet financial companies financial fraud companies that raise funds illegally?
Zhao Songwen's Internet finance company with a billion-level scale, how can there be so many good investment projects for her to invest in? Most of the investment projects are fake projects that are transferred from one hand to the other. How much money can be made is up to her words. It's okay to falsify data, but it's impossible for her to get real money. If Yuan Xudong really sends his men to conduct field investigations one by one, then Zhao Songwen's Internet finance empire will soon collapse completely. If everyone comes to withdraw money, she will not be able to cash out the principal and interest at all. Thinking of this, Zhao Songwen looked at Yuan Xudong and pretended to be calm:
"What do you want to do? I have never offended you, right? Why are you targeting me?"
"Who said you haven't offended me?"
Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"You use my cheap father-in-law as a shield. If you run to the United States, won't the hundreds of thousands of victims tear my father-in-law apart?"
"So what do you want?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen's eyes flickered and he said:
"How about this, you pay one million and I give you half of my shares?"
"Bah, do you want to take me to America or stay in jail with me?"
Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes at Zhao Songwen and said with a curled lip:
"I won't make money like this. Besides, I have enough to spend. It's meaningless to make more money. There's no need to dig my own grave, right?"
"So what do you want? Do you want to report me?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Songwen also threatened him:
"You have to think it through. This kind of thing affects the whole body. In the field of Internet finance, I am just a latecomer. There are many big crocodiles ahead of me. The water behind this kind of thing is deep. Even if you are a millionaire, you have to be careful not to drown yourself!"
"I don't know whether I'm dead or not, but you're definitely dead, right?"
Yuan Xudong said indifferently. Seeing him like this, Zhao Songwen gritted his teeth and said:
"Yes, then what do you want?"
After taking a look at the angry Zhao Songwen, Yuan Xudong's mind moved slightly and he said:
"I'll be waiting for you at the Park Hyatt Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight. Just tell the front desk my name!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong actually asked him to meet him at Park Hyatt Hotel at 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Songwen couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes and said angrily and fearfully:
"You, shameless!"
"Don't get the wrong idea. I just want to educate you on behalf of your father. As the saying goes, if a son is not taught well, it is the fault of his father. You are so bad, your father cannot escape the blame!"
Looking at the pitiful Zhao Songwen, Yuan Xudong curled his lips and said:
"Don't think you're good-looking. If you don't come to the hotel to see me at 8 o'clock tonight, you will bear the consequences. Of course, if you turn over a new leaf and return the company's money to the investors, then I won't be able to threaten you anymore, right?"
"But even if I return all the money to them, they will go to other financial companies to buy financial products. Isn't the result the same?"
"That's not a reason for you to lie. In the final analysis, you just can't bear to give up the money, right?"
Looking at the beautiful Zhao Songwen, Yuan Xudong said disdainfully:
"You are so greedy. Your Zhao family doesn't lack money at all, but you are still thinking about the little money in the pockets of ordinary people? Others rob the rich to help the poor, but you rob the poor to help the rich, sacrificing thousands of families to support you, a high-ranking financial goddess. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"That's because they are greedy. If they were not greedy and just kept the money in the bank, could I have cheated them?"
Zhao Songwen said disdainfully:
"You're not a good person either. You talk as if you have a conscience. What did you do in the women's restroom when we were having dinner at the Park Hyatt Hotel that day?"
"Fuck, that person next to you is you, right?"
Yuan Xudong was shocked:
"Do you still have this habit of eavesdropping?"
"No, who eavesdropped?"
Zhao Songwen said stubbornly:
"I was just going to the toilet normally and I happened to see it!"
"Yeah?"
He looked at Zhao Songwen with some suspicion. Then, when they arrived at their destination, Yuan Xudong pulled over and said:
"Okay, here we are. I'll be waiting for you at the Park Hyatt Hotel at 8pm. I hope you don't come!"
"Shameless, rogue!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong with gritted teeth, Zhao Songwen got out of the car carrying her Chanel bag, then kicked the back door of Yuan Xudong's car twice, and finally left angrily. Yuan Xudong drove to pick up Shen Mingbao.
While still on the road, he received a negative review from a passenger on the Didu taxi app, a series of hooligans. Yuan Xudong felt that this was Zhao Songwen reminding him that he should do something tonight, otherwise, how could he be worthy of the evaluation of hooligans?
…
At the same time, in the outdoor square, Gangzi adjusted the live broadcast equipment, and Chen Tonggang was ready to live broadcast in front of the camera:
"Come on, come on, it's almost done !"
"How is it, have all the equipment been debugged?"
"It should be almost done, come on!"
"The sun is too strong here. I can't open my eyes!"
"Try your best to overcome it and make sure you look handsome on camera!"
"Okay, okay, let's start the live broadcast!"
“Let’s get started!”
…
Facing the camera, Chen Tonggang smiled and said:
"Hello everyone, welcome to the body shaping and weight loss master's live broadcast room, I am the new anchor Xiaogang..."
