Qi Yuezhen fell into deep thought. After a moment, she handed Jian Yu a red envelope, saying, "Just consider it a favor! I won't let Huo Qizhen suffer any loss."
Jian Yu could tell from the pinch that it was 20,000 yuan.
After seeing Jian Yu's finger movements, Qi Yuezhen looked confident and knew that Jian Yu loved money.
The next second, her smile froze on her face.
Jian Yu returned the red envelope to her.
Qi Yuezhen narrowed her eyes. "You think it's too little? Fine, once the matter is settled, I'll give you ten times the amount."
Jian Yu was speechless for a moment when he saw her careful expression.
Qi Yuezhen said, "Five hundred thousand, any more would be excessive."
Jianyu, “…”
Suddenly, a bold guess popped into Jian Yu's mind—the assets Qi Yuezhen transferred from the company must be more than just a few hundred million.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so confident.
Why did you choose to cooperate with the Huo family conglomerate?
Qi Yuezhen didn't want to tell the truth, but she was worried that Jian Yu wouldn't be easy to fool, and that making up an excuse would only backfire.
After thinking for a moment, he said, half-jokingly, "Of course, it's because we're relatives."
Jian Yu laughed instantly, "If we're talking about relatives, Qisheng Culture Media is even closer. Why don't you go and cooperate with them?"
Qi Yuezhen certainly considered asking her family for help, but Qi Sheng Culture Media mainly focuses on the cultural and entertainment industry, and her older brother and sister-in-law have now completely taken over the company, unlike when her father managed it and could easily help.
"That area is mainly focused on the entertainment industry, unlike the Huo family conglomerate."
Jian Yu didn't believe Qi Yuezhen's explanation, "It still won't work."
Qi Yuezhen sighed helplessly, "Never mind."
Qi Yuezhen's decisive departure left Jian Yu stunned for a moment.
Anyway, it's fine to leave.
Jian Yu thought that the matter was over after Qi Yuezhen left.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yuezhen came again early the next morning.
Jianyu, “…”
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What project are you actually looking to collaborate on?"
“We’re not working on this project anymore. There’s something I’d like to discuss with Kenneth Fok in person. Of course, it’s not because I don’t trust you that I’m not letting you pass on my message.”
After coming so many times, you're just going to say you won't cooperate anymore?
"I won't pass on the message unless you tell me."
Qi Yuezhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a piece of land overseas. Your cousin likes it there and wants to settle down nearby and grow fruit trees, so we wanted to help her buy it. After inquiring, we found out that the land belongs to Huo Qizhen, so we came to him again."
"Do you have the money to buy her land?"
The land under Kenneth Fok's name must be very valuable.
Jian Yu suspected that Qi Yuezhen's little money was simply not enough to buy it.
"Your cousin has a very rich boyfriend who can help her get the funds. In short, she won't renege on her debt."
"You can just go directly to Huo Qizhen to talk about buying land, why are you going through all this trouble to come to me?"
“Our family just went bankrupt. Buying land now would be too big a target and attract attention.”
Qi Yuezhen grabbed Jian Yu's hand and pleaded, "Please help me out, for the sake of your young cousin!"
Jian Yu sent Qi Yuezhen away under the pretext of needing to think about it.
"Why go to such lengths to buy a piece of land overseas owned by the Huo family?"
Jian Yu racked his brains but couldn't understand why Qi Yuezhen insisted on buying that piece of land at this time.
Logically speaking, given that their family had just gone bankrupt, they should have kept a low profile as much as possible.
It would be best to wait until things calm down before making any decisions.
However, Qi Yuezhen seemed very impatient.
Since they couldn't find the exact cause, Jian Yu secretly implanted a Trojan program into Qi Yuezhen's phone.
Qi Yuezhen has three mobile phones in total, one of which is the latest model that she just bought.
Unfortunately, none of the three phones contained any useful information.
After about two or three long days of waiting and trial and error, Jian Yu still couldn't figure out the real reason.
Jian Yu couldn't wait any longer, so he went directly to Huo Qizhen to inquire about the details of that land.
"It's strange, why is she so determined to get this piece of land? Is there some hidden reason we don't know about?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Qizhen was greatly shocked.
He never expected that Qi Yuezhen, who seemed so ordinary on ordinary days, would have such great ambitions.
"What's wrong? What's so special about this piece of land?"
Huo Qizhen pondered for a moment before slowly explaining, “Actually, this land is connected to a mountain. Because it wasn't very valuable, it was left idle for many years. Recently, it was unexpectedly discovered that it contains rich mineral resources. I only recently received this important news and am actively preparing the relevant materials to submit a mining application to the government. Once the application is approved, according to preliminary estimates, the economic benefits it can bring each year will definitely not be less than 10 billion. Qi Yuezhen owns a company that often sponsors events. Not long ago, she sponsored a scientific expedition team that passed by that land. In my opinion, Qi Yuezhen must know about the mineral resources, which is why she is so eager to acquire this land. Also, this land is overseas, so all the buying and selling procedures can only be carried out overseas. As long as you and I don't tell anyone, no one in China will know.”
"She's really good at planning."
"She probably doesn't know yet. It's not that I don't know, but I'm afraid that if the news spreads, someone will try to steal it maliciously. That's why I chose to suppress the news and only secretly prepare the relevant materials. Once the procedures are completed, it will be useless for anyone else to jump out."
“Then this land must not be sold to her.”
"No matter who it is, I will never sell it."
Huo Qizhen frowned and shook his head, saying, "That piece of land doesn't seem very valuable now, but it's still worth at least three or four hundred million. Once the news leaks, the first thing to stop it will be the relevant departments. To get them to agree, I'll have to give up more benefits. Besides, even if I didn't know about the minerals, buying my land wouldn't be so easy. Furthermore, given Qi Yuezhen's current financial situation, she simply can't come up with that much money without selling her hidden jewelry."
In other words, Qi Yuezhen has already sold those jewels.
Jian Yu and Huo Qizhen exchanged a glance and immediately made a decision to conduct an in-depth investigation into Qi Yuezhen's overseas bank statements.
However, after a lot of work, no abnormalities were found.
Huo Qizhen immediately changed direction and began his investigation by starting with Qi Yuezhen's daughter.
Upon investigation, quite a few things were indeed discovered.
Qi Yuezhen had been planning to transfer assets ever since Shen Qianyuan orchestrated her husband's financial ruin, losing hundreds of billions of yuan. The person who helped her was the same assistant who had encouraged her husband to invest abroad.
Now, her daughter has more than 30 billion yuan in assets.
More importantly, their families were completely unaware of it.
"I was wondering why her daughter hadn't shown up for so long; turns out she's been abroad for a while now."
Huo Qizhen hadn't expected this outcome either. "It seems that Qi Yuezhen was involved in their quick bankruptcy. I guess she planned to buy the land and then go abroad, and maybe she'll never come back."
Jian Yu didn't quite understand, "Why would her daughter agree to do that? After all, it's her family's company."
Huo Qizhen was aware of this, "Perhaps her father's heart is elsewhere! She has three younger brothers, none of whom are Qi Yuezhen's children."
"......"
This is huge news!
Jian Yu nodded. "No wonder!"
Are Qi Yuezhen and Qi Yuexi really sisters?
Their IQs are far too low.
How long will it take to get the mining permits processed?
"About a month!"
"Can't it be any faster?"
Huo Qizhen understood what Jian Yu was worried about.
"Are you worried that Qi Yuezhen will leak the news if she can't buy that land, preventing me from completing the formalities?"
Jian Yu nodded. "Mm."
“Then I will go abroad tomorrow to personally oversee the process. This way, the time will probably be cut in half.”
That's half a month.
From that day on, Qi Yuezhen came to Jian Yu's office every day.
Jian Yu always used the excuse that Huo An was unwell and Huo Qizhen had gone back to visit him to send him away.
It wasn't until four or five times that the timeframe was pushed back to half a month.
"I will arrange a meeting for you in my office in two weeks."
Qi Yuezhen was extremely anxious. Every day that she delayed increased the risk of leakage, but she was helpless because she couldn't see Huo Qizhen.
That evening, Qi Yuezhen finally had a video call with her beloved daughter.
Upon receiving the notification, Jian Yu didn't even bother to take a shower and quickly turned on the screen.
As soon as the call connected, the other person started complaining, "Mom, has the deal been finalized for that land? When are you coming over? I miss you so much."
Qi Yuezhen looked distressed, her eyes fixed on her daughter on the screen. "At most half a month."
"Okay! By the way, what about the company in China? Are we really going to leave it to Uncle's family?"
“They’re dreaming.” Qi Yuezhen spat. “When the family went bankrupt, they held onto what they had and hid far away. If I hadn’t made preparations in advance, my daughter and I would be sleeping on the streets. Your grandmother still has the nerve to ask me to hand over the company? She’s dreaming! And your father, before he even knew this company existed, he was so worried he was about to jump off a building. After he found out, he started robbing it too.”
What if Dad really tries to rob us?
"He wants it, fine, on the condition of divorce."
"Dad won't agree. After all, with Qisheng Culture Media Company as a backer, they might make a comeback someday."
"He's dreaming! If it weren't for Yu Hao and Yu Cheng's competence, and Yu Ting's help, your aunt's family's company would hardly have grown to its current size. Your father is ambitious and eager for quick success, unlike Yu Hao who is down-to-earth and has a good eye. Plus, he has three children to support. For him to develop his business is just wishful thinking."
"Dad will not agree to divorce you."
"He has no choice now. If he agrees to the divorce, I'll leave the company to him. If he doesn't, he can expect to be sleeping on the streets!"
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
A week later, Kenneth Fok returned.
Jian Yu was quite surprised, "How come it's so fast?"
Huo Qizhen said, "It could have been faster, but I made some arrangements for the company and personally supervised it for two more days."
The two had barely exchanged a few words when Qi Yuezhen arrived.
