Chapter 565 With your abilities, you still want to see President Qin?
After Qiao Xing voiced his doubts, he seemed to understand Cao Yun's actions.
Where in this world are there so many tolerant and generous people, especially when it comes to matters of principle and morality?
Moreover, Qiao Hong was never a good man to begin with.
He is not worth Cao Yun wasting his entire life on.
"So, all of Qiao Hong's money, as well as the so-called investment funds his company has given to projects, are now under Cao Yun's name?"
"Yes," Qin Ce said.
After listening, Qiao Xing pursed her lips and said, "That's fine. Qiao Hong has committed so many sins. Even if we can't get spiritual compensation from him, money is good enough."
"But there's a problem. Qiao Hong said they transferred the money to your company account, but you said you didn't receive it. Will they sue you?"
"Why would they sue me? S&C didn't receive the money, that's all. If they sue, it's against Cao Yun, not me. Even if they sue S&C, I'm afraid their company won't last until the lawsuit is over."
Qiao Xing thought about it and realized that if he didn't receive the money, it wouldn't be considered deception.
Since Cao Yun did this, she must have planned her next move.
Qin Ce nodded as well.
Qiao Hong values profit and money above all else. Even if Cao Yun didn't do this out of greed for his money, it still dealt Qiao Hong a heavy blow.
She wanted him to know that in this world, money is often the least important thing.
Qiao Hong waited at Qin Ce's company all afternoon. He hadn't eaten all day, his stomach was growling with hunger, and he didn't dare to go to the toilet. In addition, he hadn't rested well in the morning, so he looked exactly like a homeless beggar.
As people came and went in the company, everyone's eyes were drawn to Qiao Hong's name.
Finally, the security guard at the gate couldn't stand it anymore. He was huddled there, looking too much like a beggar, which was damaging the company's image.
"Sir, I've seen you sitting here all afternoon. It's not raining or windy outside. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to keep sitting here?"
Qiao Hong's throat was a little dry, and he subconsciously reached for the cup next to him to drink water, but when he turned his head, he realized that he had already drunk all the water.
He could only lick his dry lips and explain to the security guard, "I'm here to see President Qin. He must be busy. I'll wait here for him to finish. I have something very important to discuss with him."
The security guard looked him up and down in disbelief, then gave him a look that seemed to want to laugh.
"Someone like you think you can see President Qin? Do you really think our President Qin is some kind of vegetable vendor at the market who will meet just anyone?"
Qiao Hong was a respectable person in his company, and although he was far inferior to Qin Ce, he was not someone this security guard had the right to mock.
He glared at the security guard and snorted, "How dare you talk like that! Do you know that I have a multi-million dollar business deal with your CEO Qin? Once this project succeeds, I'll be his partner. You don't understand anything, so don't spout nonsense here!"
The security guard listened to him as if he were a joke. In broad daylight, someone was actually dreaming here. How amusing!
"Alright, alright, I don't care if you have a multi-million dollar contract with our CEO Qin. Now, you can't stay here. Leave right now, or I'll really have to call the police to come and get you."
"Don't push me! I need to see President Qin!"
The security guards ignored him and simply ushered him out, warning him, "Let me tell you, don't be ungrateful. You can't just see President Qin whenever you want. Get out of here right now!"
Qiao Hong was turned away, but this was nothing to him.
Anyway, there are still a few days left. When it's time to actually start construction, Qin Ce will definitely show up.
After all, his company is so big, and he invested in this project; he can't just break his promise in the end.
Qiao Hong originally wanted to go back to the company, but as soon as he got to the company entrance, he saw Xu Meimei rushing into the company.
Her hair was a mess, her clothes were torn in several places, and one of her high heels was broken. She walked with a limp.
Qiao Hong could tell at a glance that she must have run into some trouble and that's why she came to him.
He was still preoccupied with Qin Ce and had no desire to see Xu Meimei, but Cao Yun wouldn't allow him to go home, and he had nowhere else to go.
After thinking it over, I simply took my ID card and found a small hotel. It was quiet with just me in a room.
He'll go find Qin Ce tomorrow. If that doesn't work, he'll go find Qiao Xing. And if all else fails, there's always Wang Qin.
Since the money has already been invested, he's determined to make this project a success no matter what.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, the urgent ringing of his cell phone suddenly woke him up.
Qiao Hong was still wondering if Qin Ce had contacted him first, and he felt a surge of excitement, but when he looked at the number, it wasn't Qin Ce, but his third brother.
"Hey, Third Brother."
Third Brother said to Qiao Hong on the phone, "Fourth Brother, Dad's 80th birthday is in three days. You know Dad hasn't been feeling well lately. My family and I have discussed it and we're planning to throw him a big celebration to bring him good luck. You should bring your wife and children over!"
As soon as Qiao Hong heard about the birthday banquet, he knew that the old man had ulterior motives. Everyone knew that the old man was going to pass away soon, so his actions were clearly a way to make money under the guise of a birthday banquet.
Sure enough, he then heard the other party say, "I've already sent out the invitations, so everything else is up to you."
Qiao Hong frowned. "What do you mean? Are you asking me to pay again?"
Uncle San smiled and said, "What are you saying? We are all the old man's sons. Since we're having a big celebration, how can we let you pay for it all by yourself? But you know, you've always been the one who organized the old man's birthday banquet in previous years, and you did a really good job. So you should come this year too. After all, among us, the old man loves you the most and has the highest expectations for you. If you do a good job, he will definitely be very happy, and maybe his health will even improve, and he can live a few more years!"
Qiao Hong gritted his teeth, so angry he wanted to curse.
Qiao Hong has heard these high-sounding words from him every time he celebrates the old man's birthday in recent years.
He was the one who paid for the birthday banquet every year, but it was his third uncle who received the gifts.
Qiao Hong used to not care about them because he didn't care about the money. But now, all his money is invested in the project, so where would he find the money to celebrate his grandfather's birthday?
Qiao Hong simply made an excuse to decline, "I've been busy with work at the company lately, and I'm afraid I won't have the time. I'll leave these things to you."
"Fourth brother, stop hiding it. I've heard that you've reached a cooperation agreement with Qiao Xing's son-in-law's company. It's a project worth over ten million. Once this project is finalized, won't you become a real millionaire? Who else in our family has that kind of ability besides you? Don't you think so?"
"But……"
Before Qiao Hong could finish speaking, he was interrupted, "By the way, I also sent an invitation to Qiao Xing. After all, the old man is her biological grandfather, so she should come."
