Chapter 76 [Conversation with Li Xiaoyu's Father]
Of course, Song Fang would not plan to let me go. After everyone left with great doubts, Song Fang did not leave.
This was also what I expected, so I sat quietly in my seat and waited for Song Fang's last question.
"Okay, Shi Lei, I think there are only two of us left now, and there are some things that can be discussed." Song Fang carefully locked the door of the conference room, walked back to his seat, and spoke to me.
I smiled and threw a cigarette to Song Fang, "Well, I'm waiting for you to ask me too."
A trace of light flashed slightly in Song Fang's eyes, and he nodded immediately. He probably understood that I often saw through what he did, so he didn't ask me why he was waiting for him to ask me.
"In the past three years, I am very glad that I have a junior brother like you. Without you, I am still operating Tongda in a miserable manner, and staying honestly in the position of the boss of the state-owned enterprise, guarding 10,000 yuan a month for life. But after you emerged and paraded into my life, although I have not become a very successful entrepreneur in China, my life benefits are obvious. To calculate simply, Tongda, which was known as one million, is now worth tens of billions, and it is likely to become a company worth tens of billions in the next few years. My personal property has also changed from less than one million to over 100 million, well, it is actually several hundred millions. To be honest, I really should thank you very much..."
Song Fang chose such a passage as the opening remark, which I didn't expect. I always think that Song Fang is more direct and will ask questions directly if there are any questions. Usually, there are fewer circles. Of course, this is just for me, and Song Fang will never do this outside. In fact, Song Fang usually chooses to remain silent when dealing with others outside, regardless of whether they are satisfied or not. This is probably a very important reason that hinders his successful development...
I smiled and lit a cigarette for Song Fang. "Senior Brother Song, as you said, if you didn't have you at the beginning, or if you refused to help me walk a path that would rub the edge of the policy, we would not be today. So, we don't need to say anything about thanks to each other, keep it in our hearts. If you want to thank me, I would also like to thank you."
Song Fang took a puff of cigarette and nodded, "Okay, don't talk about this. The reason why I want to talk to you today is because you have changed a lot over the past year, and your business operations are still perfect and impeccable. Whether it is because of the opportunity to get the local area or other reasons, it doesn't matter. In short, you seem to have never made any mistakes in business decisions.
So. I just wanted to know how you plan to solve this problem, but I still didn't ask. But I always have some opinions, just like the embarrassing situation we are facing today, and the funds are frozen. Have you ever thought that this is almost entirely because of you? If someone else was gone, maybe it wouldn't be like this?"
I nodded and admitted frankly that it was time to come. It was absolutely normal for Song to attack me.
"That's right, whether it's the last Snow Industrial incident or today's incident, it's all related to my personal factors. However, what Senior Brother Song said is different. I only agree half of it..."
Song Fang raised his eyebrows, "Oh? What do you say?"
"If someone else is the decision-maker of Tongda, maybe this will not happen. This is half what I agree with you..." I paused and took a sip of water, "But if the person who changed is still the heir chosen by the Wu and Zhao families, then this thing will still be the same..."
Song Fang was stunned for a moment, thought carefully for a long time, until the cigarette in his hand burned to the end. He emitted the pungent smell of a sponge burnt, and then nodded heavily, "Well, I admit this..." After saying that, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray, raised his head and said to me, "In other words, you already know exactly who is messing with this matter?"
I smiled, "Haha, when Hu Zhi told me about this, I would know who it was in less than five minutes."
"Is it Mr. Bai?" Song Fang asked.
I smiled and shook my head, "It's not him! Although he is not broad-minded, he is not stupid. He knows very well that this matter cannot cause substantial harm to me and us."
"That's your ex-girlfriend?"
"If it were her, she would be looking for death. She might be so stupid, but her father should not be a fool."
“Who is it?”
I smiled and shook my head. I didn't plan to tell Song Fang and others about this, otherwise I would have said at the meeting just now. I don't want Zheng Chenghuan to prepare in advance. I want to force him to admit this matter in embarrassingly. Only then can I gain real initiative!
"Senior Brother Song, don't ask about this matter. It's not that I can't trust you, but that you really don't need to know about this matter. Or, the more people you know, the more unfavorable it will be for our ending. Now this matter is within a controllable range, but if too many people know, if the other party gets confused, it will add unnecessary trouble to us. When the matter is over, I will give you a satisfactory explanation." I put away the cigarette box on the table and put it on the way that I don't want to continue talking to him.
Song Fang sighed, "Oh, actually I just care... Forget it, since you don't think it's better not to say it, then just do whatever you want. I also believe you will solve this matter soon. So, what are you planning on Mr. Bai? He should add a lot of trouble to you in the future, right? Or, is it causing us Tongda a lot of trouble?"
I stood up and said, "Don't worry, Brother Song, there must be trouble, but since you have reached this point, it cannot be avoided. It depends on who can handle whom. I won't tell you more. I'm really tired today. I want to go back and rest early."
Song Fang seemed helpless, but obviously I no longer want to continue talking to him, so I could only give up in disappointment.
After leaving the company, I called Wang Qian and learned that she and Feifei were in my house in the Crescent Lake area. So I took a taxi along Zhongshan East Road and walked out of Zhongshan Gate.
After thinking about it, I called Li Xiaoyu in the car.
"Hey, Xiaoyu?"
The tone over there seemed a little hesitant. I probably didn't expect that I would call her. She had hesitated for a long time before answering the phone. Her place was very quiet...
"It's me, what's wrong with me?"
I smiled faintly, "It's nothing, are you at home? If so, let your father answer a call and I want to talk to him."
Li Xiaoyu was stunned again, and I could even imagine her biting her lower lip.
After hesitating for a while, she still asked, "What are you looking for him? You have already made my dad's company difficult. What do you want?"
Faced with Li Xiaoyu's obvious hostility now, I didn't react much.
It can be said that the trip to Vancouver and the previous series of processes have made me figure it out. So far, I don’t stop hating her anymore, but I can face all this easily. It’s not because I figured out that my goal is to reach the top of the mountain without having to carry that big stone, but because I feel that my current life and my own life, there are many things that are more important than hatred waiting for me to do. After doing these things, it seems that it’s much easier to take revenge on Li Xiaoyu. Besides, now, the pressure she is under is probably also very high. Maybe her father won’t say anything about her, but there will be some obstacles in his heart.
So I continued to put pressure on her. It would be better to show kindness to her father, which would make her father sigh at the impermanence of life.
"Haha, nothing, I just want to talk to him..."
A man's voice was heard on the phone. The man was asking who called Li Xiaoyu. It was obvious that it should be Li Xiaoyu's father. Li Xiaoyu's question just now probably made her father notice something.
"What do you want? Do you think everything is not enough?"
Facing Li Xiaoyu's serious questioning, I just felt ridiculous. This woman... I shook my head, it was really hard to understand. Why did I love her so wholeheartedly at the beginning? Think about it, she really has nothing worthy of love, and she is not useless, but she is completely from two worlds with me. She is extremely selfish, so selfish that she doesn't know that there are other people in the world except herself.
"I said, I don't want to do anything. Of course, you can choose whether your father will listen to this call... This way, think about it. If you feel willing to let me talk to your father, let him call me." After that, I hung up the phone.
When the car drove into the community, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Needless to say, it was obviously Li Xiaoyu's father's phone number.
"Hey, hello, I'm Shi Lei. Is it Mr. Li?" I chose to answer and said in a very light tone.
After pondering for a moment, a relatively thick middle-aged man's voice came from, "I am Li Xiaoyu's father, what's wrong with you?"
I nodded, well, it was pretty good, quite calm, and I didn't ask me what I wanted as soon as I came up.
"Haha, it's nothing, I just suddenly want to talk to you."
There hesitation, "If you don't make an appointment, I will go to Nanjing, and I want to meet you, the legendary figure."
I smiled, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry, so he said a slightly sarcastic word like "Legendary". "Haha, that's not necessary. Please don't have to go there for a special trip. If you have the chance in the future, when you come to Nanjing, I can treat Mr. Li to a meal."
There was silence over there, probably looking for wording.
"That's right. Mr. Li's company should be in a difficult situation now. Without working capital, it's worrying if you can't turnover?"
The other party sneered, "Haha, thanks to Mr. Shi!"
I sneered. This was the situation I had expected before calling. "I don't have much purpose to call you. I just want to tell you that within three days, you will see Xu Hao and return the money to you."
His voice trembled, "Really?"
I smiled and answered with certainty, "Really!"
When Li Xiaoyu saw his father stunned, he was silent again. Perhaps he would never understand why I suddenly felt compassionate and planned to return the money to him.
Taking advantage of this time, I paid the money to the taxi driver, got off the car, stood in front of the unit at the doorstep, waiting for Li Xiaoyu's father to reply.
After a while, Li Xiaoyu's father sighed and said, "Mr. Shi, thank you...ah..." Perhaps this sentence made him hesitate. After all, this situation was caused by me. Now he wants to say thank you to me, which will naturally make him difficult.
"Haha, thank you, there is no need to thank you. Today's situation was designed by me, so I should say sorry to you. But I still want to say more. Actually, I don't really need to be sorry. People always live for themselves. I have resentment in my heart. I feel that I don't have much mistakes in venting. In fact, all the mistakes are on your baby girl. You are so nice to her that she doesn't understand that this world is not centered on her, but in fact, she is far from that qualification." I paused for a moment and said before he wanted to speak, "But forget it. It's actually boring to pursue these things. Don't worry. Within three days, you will see Xu Hao paying back the money to you."
Li Xiaoyu's father hesitated, but he still asked. "Can I know what made you suddenly decide to return the money to me?"
"It's nothing. I'm tired of playing this game and feel bored, so I'll give it to you. Or, I found that there are many more important things waiting for me to do, and I don't have the patience to continue playing with you. Just like that, I won't talk anymore. If you have the chance to come to Nanjing, remember to notify me and I'll treat you to dinner." After that, I didn't give Li Xiaoyu's father any more chance to speak. I hung up the phone.
Before hanging up the phone, I heard Li Xiaoyu's father sigh slightly.
I took out the key and opened the door. As soon as I walked into the room, I heard Wang Qian's voice.
"Speak softly, Feifei is asleep."
I looked up at Wang Qian, smiled, and carefully closed the door with my backhand.
"I fell asleep as soon as I came back?" I pulled Wang Qian to another bedroom, closed the door before asking Wang Qian in a low voice.
Wang Qian shook her head. "Just just fell asleep, the little girl came back and kept asking me what you were doing, and asked if her father had caused you trouble again." After pausing, Wang Qian asked again, "Is it a trick for Mr. Bai to play? I called and asked just now, and it seemed that someone wrote an anonymous letter to complain that there were gambling elements in your game, and that Tongda's funds were frozen?"
I smiled, with a little tired look on my face, "Haha, this time it's not really Mr. Bai. Although I haven't investigated it clearly, it probably won't be him. This matter is nothing, it will be resolved soon, and I will cooperate with their review. The so-called gambling condition is that there is a secret operation. We have a clear conscience, what are we afraid of? The worst result is to find the winners to recover the prize and return the funds related to this lottery to those players..."
I said it lightly, but Wang Qian still easily heard the problem in her words. She said nervously, "Catching back the bonus? I'm afraid it won't work? Then won't the players get upset?"
"I can't blow it up. This is the worst result, and it may not be like this. Even so, according to the regulations, I will recover it, but for the sake of the company's reputation, I will give the bonus myself. It will only cost tens of millions to die, and it will not scare people. Even if I ask me to pay the money privately, it doesn't matter. Moreover, if the final punishment is really like this, we will not suffer much loss, and the advertising effect will be out, and our company's reputation is guaranteed."
Wang Qian still felt that it was wrong, "But the profit brought by this lottery session is probably several hundred million, right?"
I smiled faintly, "There is nothing I can do. I was originally on the edge of policies and regulations. If I was really punished by the government, I could only accept it. It's okay, the lottery is not illegal anyway. If it really doesn't work, I will spit out the profits of hundreds of millions, and then apply for a lottery qualification and pay heavy taxes. I will earn it exponentially in the future."
Wang Qian thought about it carefully and nodded. She also knew that what I was talking about was the truth.
"Okay, don't worry about this mess. I guess there is no problem. When the supervision department checks our account books and data, I will step up the process of license application. When the time comes, it will be cleared. Normally, it will not be the worst result. The supervision department is always from the government, and those officials have always had a good relationship with us. They will not want to see a celebrity company that has been supported by hands to suffer such a big crime. If we don't punish us or give us a lighter punishment, they will always think clearly." I fell directly on the bed and took Wang Qian's hand, "Lying with me for a while, I'm really tired. The jet gap is over, and I'm suffering a lot."
Wang Qian nodded, lay down beside me obediently, and rested her head on my chest.
Seeing that I was still open and not asleep, Wang Qian asked me, "Feifei... well... what are you going to do?"
