Chapter 345 Being cheated
Uncle Lu followed the direction of Ling Yao's finger and read the clause carefully, but didn't notice anything unusual. "I didn't see anything." Hearing this
, Ling Yao continued to explain: "The contract requires you to advance the payment for the goods, but in fact, you are Party B and don't need to advance the payment for the goods. Instead, Party A needs to pay you part of the payment first."
Uncle Lu's face changed when he heard this. "But I have already paid the payment for the goods. What if the other party is really a liar? Can I get it back?" Although he is a member of the Lu family, he has limited funds. For this business, he almost took out all the funds in his hands.
"It's a bit difficult. You should call the other party first and see if they will answer."
"Okay." Uncle Lu stood up quickly, walked to the phone quickly, picked up the phone and dialed. Soon, there was a busy tone on the other side.
Uncle Lu called several times and it was the same. He put down the phone with a grim face, "The call is not connected. What should I do now?" Is his money going to be wasted?
"Uncle, don't worry. Who introduced you to that business?" Ling Yao asked.
"It was a friend of my brother-in-law." If it wasn't for the introduction of his brother-in-law's friend, he wouldn't have taken out so much money.
"Why don't you ask your brother-in-law first."
"Okay." Uncle Lu called his brother-in-law quickly.
After waiting for a while, someone finally answered the phone, "Who is it?"
"Xiao Zheng, there is a problem with my business, and I can't get through on the phone now. Can you ask your friend what's going on?" Uncle Lu told the story again.
"Impossible, I'll give it a try."
"Okay."
Uncle Lu hung up the phone and walked back and forth anxiously.
"Uncle, don't worry, this matter may not be as bad as you think." Ling Yao comforted.
At this time, the phone on the table rang.
Uncle Lu hurriedly stepped forward to answer the phone, "What's the matter?"
"Brother-in-law, I can't contact my friend either. Don't worry, I'll go to my friend's house and call you when I figure it out."
"Okay, okay, then go quickly, and notify me immediately if there is any news." Uncle Lu urged and hung up the phone. He was really about to die of anxiety now.
That amount of money is not a small sum. It was something he and his wife had saved up with great difficulty.
Although he is a member
of the Lu family, he has no talent. Whether he has been in the army or in politics, he has not achieved anything and has been doing nothing until now. This time, he finally got such an opportunity, so naturally he wanted to go all out to show the family that he is not useless.
But he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. If the money can't be recovered, he will definitely become a laughing stock of the family.
The more Uncle Lu thought about it, the sadder he became. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his heart was tightly pinched by an invisible hand, and the pain was unbearable.
"Uncle!" Ling Yao saw that something was wrong with Uncle Lu and hurried forward to check.
Uncle Lu's face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and even his lips had lost their color.
Ling Yao quickly took out a pill and stuffed it into Uncle Lu's mouth.
As the medicine turned into juice and flowed into his throat, a warm current flowed into Uncle Lu's heart, and the pain began to slowly subside.
Uncle Lu felt that his condition had improved a lot, and looked at Ling Yao with gratitude, "Yaoyao, I'm really sorry for you this time." Just a moment ago, he felt that he was about to die, but fortunately there was Ling Yao.
Ling Yao shook his head, "Uncle, sit for a while, I'll go get you a cup of tea."
"Don't be busy, I'll just rest for a while." Uncle Lu waved his hand. He had already troubled Ling Yao by coming here today, and if she hadn't noticed the problem with the contract, he would have foolishly thought that he had made a big deal this time.
Second Uncle Lu sighed in frustration. Sure enough, he was not cut out for business. He was sold out and still had to count money for others.
Ling Yao comforted Second Uncle Lu a few words, went to the kitchen to pour a cup of tea, and handed it to him, "Second Uncle, have a cup of tea, we'll call the police first." She knew that even if she called the police, it would be difficult to recover the money. There were too many such things in later generations, but very few people actually recovered the money. Second
Uncle Lu had a worried look on his face. He took the tea and took a sip, "Will calling the police help?"
"If you can provide the other party's real identity information, it should be useful." But the other party was planning to deceive people, how could he use real information.
"I only know that the other person's name is Li Qiang, and he is from Gangcheng." Uncle Lu told Ling Yao everything he knew. The reason why he trusted the other person so much, in addition to the fact that he was introduced by his brother-in-law's friend, was that the other person was from Gangcheng.
He heard that people from Gangcheng were very rich and had a big business, especially clothing. Many clothes in Yangcheng were imported from Gangcheng.
Ling Yao nodded, "Then can you tell me about the other person's appearance?"
"Okay, he has a square face..."
"Wait a minute, I'll get paper and pen." Ling Yao said, and ran to the study to get paper and pen, "Now you can talk."
"He has a square face, inverted triangle eyes, a low nose, a mole on the right chin, and then..." Uncle Lu said as he recalled the details.
Ling Yao kept drawing on the paper with the pen in her hand as Uncle Lu described.
When Uncle Lu finished speaking, Ling Yao stopped writing and handed the painting to Uncle Lu, "Take a look, is this the person?"
Uncle Lu's eyes lit up when he saw the painting and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! It's him, your painting is so similar, just like the photo."
"Then go call the police now and give the police this painting." Ling Yao handed the painting to Uncle Lu.
"Yaoyao, thank you so much this time! Qingyun really married a good wife." Uncle Lu took the painting and quickly got up and walked outside. It should be easier to find someone with this painting.
After Uncle Lu left, Ling Yao walked up to pick up the phone, waited for the call to be connected, and said, "Hello! Is Mr. Huo here?" Uncle Lu said that the man was from Hong Kong, so she wanted Huo Lingyu to help her check if he could find Li Qiang.
"Please wait! I'll go call my master."
After waiting for a while, Huo Lingyu's voice came from the other side, "Who's looking for me?"
"Mr. Huo, it's Ling Yao."
Huo Lingyu smiled in surprise when he heard this. "Ms. Ling, why did you think of calling me?" Now he has cooperated with Ling Yao in the mainland to open a real estate company, and has already bought several plots of land in major cities, and is about to develop and build houses.
He really admires Ling Yao from the bottom of his heart. Although she is younger than him, she is decisive, wise and insightful. Moreover, she has founded Longteng Pharmaceutical, a huge company, in such a short time. How can a young girl do this? Even if it is him, even if the Huo family gives everything and helps him, he believes that he can't achieve the same success as Ling Yao.
