Gao Yan said, "A friend of mine is a streamer in their guild. Today she went with a lawyer to terminate her contract, but they refused and seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for her!"
"Who does Lai Zhilin think he is, daring to make things difficult for your friend, Young Master Gao!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoming immediately became furious: "Brother Yan, don't worry, I'll call Lai Zhilin and make sure he obediently terminates the contract and apologizes to your friend!"
"Won't that be difficult?" Gao Yan asked.
At this moment, Li Chaonan spoke up: "Brother, don't worry, with Xiaoming in charge, there will be absolutely no problem. His uncle is the second-in-command of a certain department. Not to mention Lai Zhilin, even his master Zhang Xu would have to back down!"
"Brother Xiaoming, I owe you a favor!" Gao Yan said to Zhong Xiaoming.
"Brother Yan, you're being too polite. It was just a phone call!" Zhong Xiaoming waved his hand dismissively. "Isn't it just about friends helping each other out?"
"Alright, I was being too polite. Just let me know if you ever need my help!"
Gao Yan stated.
As they were talking, Zhong Xiaoming took out his phone and dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, he started cursing: "You surnamed Lai, who do you think you are? How dare you make things difficult for my brother Yan's friend? Do you really think you're someone important just because you've sucked up to that bastard Zhang Xu?"
On the other end of the phone, Lai Zhilin was furious at being insulted and couldn't help but retort, "Who the hell are you?"
“I am Zhong Xiaoming, your Grandpa Zhong!” Zhong Xiaoming said without any politeness.
Upon hearing the name, Lai Zhilin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly smiled obsequiously, "Young Master Zhong, so it's you! I'm sorry, I was too talkative just now, I deserve a beating. Please feel free to give me any instructions, and I promise to handle it perfectly for you!"
"Brother Yan, what's your friend's name?"
Zhong Xiaoming turned to Gao Yan and asked.
“Zheng Xiaoyu!” Gao Yan said.
Zhong Xiaoming continued, "Lai Zhilin, didn't someone named Zheng Xiaoyu come to you today to terminate your contract? I'm warning you, get this over with right now. If you dare to make things difficult for her again, I'll make sure you regret it. Even that bastard Zhang Xu can't protect you. I'm telling you!"
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhong, I'll have you take care of it right away, no, I'll take care of it myself!" Lai Zhilin didn't dare to refuse and immediately agreed.
"You're smart enough to accept this!"
Zhong Xiaoming hung up the phone immediately, then smiled and said to Gao Yan, "Brother Yan, don't worry, that kid Lai Zhilin definitely won't dare to try anything funny. Just wait for the good news!"
"Thank you, Xiaoming. By the way, who is Zhang Xu?" Gao Yan asked curiously.
"Zhang Xu is a fraudster!"
Li Chaonan said with a disdainful look.
"A scammer?"
Gao Yan was somewhat bewildered.
Zhong Xiaoming added, "Brother Yan, have you heard of the 'panquan' (a type of betting platform)?"
"have no idea!"
Gao Yan shook his head. He did know about the cryptocurrency circle, since Bitcoin had been quite popular recently.
Li Chaonan explained, "The so-called Ponzi scheme is, to put it bluntly, a Ponzi scheme. It makes you invest a certain amount of money, and then promises you a profit of more than three times that amount within one to three months!"
"Do people still believe this?"
Gao Yan was even more puzzled, knowing that Ponzi schemes were nothing new.
“Of course there are, and quite a few believe it, and they all know it’s a Ponzi scheme!” Zhong Xiaoming sneered.
"If they know this, why do they still believe it?" Gao Yan was even more puzzled.
"Because it makes money!"
Li Chaonan said, "Moreover, the speed at which they make money is quite fast. Even Warren Buffett, the stock market guru, can only achieve returns of a little over ten percent, but they can guarantee more than three times the profit. Do you think they wouldn't be tempted?"
They all firmly believed they wouldn't be the last ones left holding the bag. Besides, Zhang Xu had taken Ponzi schemes to a whole new level; they would spend hundreds of millions to acquire a club, tens of millions to renovate it, and then invite you to a banquet.
Finally, they tell you that they spent hundreds of millions to buy the clubhouse, tens of millions to renovate it, and that the luxury cars parked outside are worth hundreds of millions. Do you think they would cheat you out of your millions?
Next, they will promise that your invested principal will be fully returned within one or three months. If you can invite more people to join this scam, you can also get a commission. And there is no risk at all, because Zhang Xu and his gang are covering it up!
Tell me, how many people could resist the temptation of making money like that?
Gao Yan nodded: "That's true. After all, people have a sense of luck and believe they won't be the last ones left holding the bag. But haven't the relevant departments investigated them?"
"Of course there is!"
Zhong Xiaoming said, "However, Zhang Xu is extremely cunning. They've been playing this kind of scam for over ten years and have become very experienced. They know it will come to light sooner or later, but they've prepared scapegoats in advance. And the funds they've obtained have already been transferred away. There's simply no direct evidence to arrest them!"
"This is truly an eye-opening experience!" Gao Yan exclaimed.
Zhong Xiaoming said, "That's right. To be honest, Zhang Xu also approached us back then, wanting to recruit us. In the end, we gave him a good scolding. Although we also want to make money, we won't make that kind of money."
Li Chaonan said, "Alright, let's not talk about this bastard anymore. I reckon he won't escape the law sooner or later!"
"Too!"
Gao Yan nodded in deep agreement.
About five minutes later.
Zheng Xiaoyu called Gao Yan to tell him that the Qimingxing Guild had terminated its contract with her and had not charged her any penalty.
Gao Yan said he understood and told her to take a taxi over as soon as possible.
At the same time, he was also thinking about buying Zheng Xiaoyu a car. After all, Zheng Xiaoyu's favorability rating was already locked at 100 points, and she would betray him for life, so he had to give her the benefits she deserved.
