Upon hearing this, Shen Yuhuai casually said, "Is that in time? The homework is due in the afternoon."
"There's still time." Chen Qizhao deleted the chat group, "I'm done."
People were coming and going in the cafeteria. Chen Qizhao was interrupted by "doing homework" and felt a little guilty about it, so he turned his phone upside down on the book. He suddenly realized that playing with the phone while eating was not a good behavior and could easily leave a bad impression on others.
The meal was quiet, and when Chen Qizhao didn't move, Shen Yuhuai didn't speak either.
But the phone kept buzzing and vibrating, which really ruined the mood. He had no choice but to pick up his phone, turn on the airplane mode, and simply explained: "They were discussing their homework very seriously."
Shen Yuhuai asked, “Is the homework difficult?”
Chen Qizhao paused for a moment: "...It should be difficult, right?"
The lunch was quite pleasant. After eating, Shen Yuhuai returned to the research institute. As soon as Chen Qizhao returned to the dormitory, he saw Yan Kailin with a sad face.
Yan Kailin: "Did you bring me food? Why can't I get through to you when I called you? I thought you turned off your phone because you owed money!"
Chen Qizhao: “…”
"I ordered takeout for you, wait a minute."
After finally calming Yan Kailin down, Chen Qizhao returned to his dormitory, opened his mailbox, and downloaded the emails from Special Assistant Xu one by one. Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of another email, which was the result of a private investigation he had commissioned.
"City C is going to have something soon." Chen Qizhao cleaned up the email after reading it, and murmured, "Then there will be some movement soon."
Ruizhen Electronics has been in the limelight in the past two weeks. First, several projects have made considerable profits, and then it has a relationship with the Chen Group. It can be said that it is like a fish in water in the industry and is getting more and more successful.
It seemed as if a wide road had been opened up in the science and technology park. There were so many things that could be done in the name of Chen Qizhao. With the support of internal personnel, their project had basically achieved its initial goals without encountering any obstacles.
After all, Chen Jianhong and Chen Shiming are both very busy people and have no time to manage a small company in the Science and Technology Park. It is only a matter of time before the time is right.
Manager Wang had just discussed the next plan with his internal informant, and when the call ended he received a call from Qin Xingfeng.
"Your project has problems?" Director Wang asked in surprise, "The one in City C?"
Qin Xingfeng's voice was a little irritable: "Yes, do you have any way to give me some money for turnover? I have invested all the initial funds."
He had been operating a project in City C for the past few months and had even invested a large sum of money in it. Later, he won the bid, completed all the formalities, and paid the money he was supposed to pay. However, when the project was about to start, the Natural Environment Bureau in City C issued a report saying that due to environmental pollution issues, the development permit was not approved at all. He then asked someone to inquire about the situation and found that this force majeure could not be resolved at all.
This meant that the entire project could not be implemented, and all the money he had invested in the early stages was wasted.
This was completely different from what he had learned in advance. With such a mistake, he was completely unable to make up for the company's accounts, and it even led the company into a financial crisis.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he cannot collect his funds, he will face bankruptcy. But there are solutions now. As long as there is enough money to turn around and some connections, maybe there is still room for this project to be handled flexibly.
The point is still money.
Hearing the amount Qin Xingfeng quoted, Wang hesitated a little, "Why did you invest so much?... It's not impossible to give you money, but recently the money is..."
Qin Xingfeng's voice became more anxious: "You have to help me. You said before that you would help me if I didn't have enough money."
Wang said, "But I didn't expect you to ask for so much money. Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call and ask."
He hung up Qin Xingfeng's call and was about to call back to ask for that person's opinion, but when he called, he received a reminder that the number was no longer in service. He looked at the phone number in surprise.
In order to contact that person, the two people were very cautious in their interactions, and the numbers at each stage were provided by the other party.
He thought he had dialed the wrong number and was about to re-enter the number when he was interrupted by a group of people who broke in with their ID cards.
The person who knocked on the door of Ruizhen Electronics' office was none other than the investigators who received the relevant report and tip-off.
Manager Wang was stunned and looked at the investigators, "Comrade, what has happened to our company?"
"We have received relevant reports and evidence. There are doubts about your company's accounts and taxes. Please cooperate with the investigation." The investigator was impartial and glanced at Wang, the person in charge, and said in a normal tone: "And you, come with us later, there are some things that require your cooperation."
The problems at Ruizhen Electronics were not limited to the accounts. A group of investigators entered the finance office, seized the computer host and took it away for a detailed investigation. The process was smooth and completely closed, and no information leaked out. Mr. Wang, the person in charge, had no idea about this matter in advance. No one informed him that there was a temporary investigation, and there was no time for him to ask the finance department to take away the account books to avoid investigation. He could only watch helplessly as the things in the finance office were taken away.
Mr. Wang, who was unable to get through the phone, looked pale as he listened to the repeated reminder of an unavailable number from the other end of the line.
The person he was in contact with cancelled his number.
The C City project cannot be implemented, and if it is not turned around, all the investment will be wasted.
It would take some time for Director Wang to get help. Qin Xingfeng became more and more confused. This sudden situation made him overwhelmed, so he had to contact Cheng Rong and others.
He was in urgent need of a large sum of money for turnover, otherwise not only would his company go bankrupt, but he himself would also be burdened with a large debt. However, when he called, he found that everyone in his circle of friends refused to answer his calls.
"No one is useful at the critical moment." Qin Xingfeng cursed a few times, and in desperation, he had to call Chen Qizhao.
He had originally heard about the C City project from Chen Qizhao. During this period, he had a good relationship with Chen Qizhao because of the project cooperation. Chen Qizhao had no idea that he had invested in the C City project.
Qin Xingfeng did think of Chen Qizhao when the project went wrong, but the development prospects of this project were indeed good. He sent people to check a lot of information himself. No one expected that the development approval would not be obtained. In addition to him, many companies were cheated, many of which were well-known large enterprises in the market. They must have more informed sources of information than a fool like Chen Qizhao. It is impossible for Chen Qizhao to have such a foresight.
"Brother Xingfeng?"
The call on the other end was quickly connected, and Chen Qizhao's voice came from the other side.
Qin Xingfeng controlled his tone and said, "Qizhao, I'm in a bit of trouble... I might need to borrow some money from you to get by."
He then added: "Don't worry, I will be able to pay you back soon, two months at most."
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Chen Qizhao suddenly laughed.
"Brother Xingfeng, you are such a joke. Didn't I listen to you and invest all my money into Ruizhen Electronics? Where did I get the spare money now?" Chen Qizhao's voice was somewhat innocent. "Brother Xingfeng, you have such a wide network of contacts. Why don't you just go and ask Brother Wang for a loan?"
Qin Xingfeng thought about this and realized that he had indeed cheated Chen Qizhao out of a lot of money.
It is said that in order to train the children, the Chen family did not give the children much pocket money, and Chen Qizhao's savings were basically used up.
"Then is there one million?" Qin Xingfeng said: "My situation is a bit difficult."
Chen Qizhao added: "That's really not the case."
Seeing that he couldn't borrow money, Qin Xingfeng had no choice but to say, "Okay, it's okay. I'll think of another way."
He had just hung up the phone and didn't hear the noisy background noise from Chen Qizhao's end.
In a bar near S University, a group of young people were sitting around drinking.
Qin Xingfeng's call was hung up by Chen Qizhao, and a group of people around him laughed.
"He came to borrow money from me." Chen Qizhao looked at the others innocently: "You are right, he is really borrowing money everywhere."
There were four or five people sitting at the same table, and three of them had been called by Qin Xingfeng. Cheng Rong's face turned pale, and he looked at Chen Qizhao and said, "Borrow your ass, you are such a villain who is secretly plotting against others."
Yan Kailin looked at Cheng Rong, "Didn't you have a good relationship with him before?"
"Bullshit." Cheng Rong's tone was full of disdain. He drank half a glass of wine and said, "Thanks to Xiao Zhao for reminding me this time, otherwise Liu Kai and I would have been cheated for no reason. I was wondering why my good thing fell through. It turned out that Qin Xingfeng was behind it. I feel sick when I think of him being so friendly with me while he was cheating on me."
Liu Kai said, "That's right. I invested two million in the bar and lost everything. If Brother Rong hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known about it."
He said, "Isn't it just a video? I have already apologized to him, but I didn't expect him to be so scheming and still do this to me behind my back. I have been unhappy with Qin Xingfeng for a long time, why is he pretending to be so noble?"
Yan Kailin said: "You are being taken advantage of!"
Chen Qizhao didn't say anything. He just glanced at these people calmly, and felt it was very funny.
He had expected Qin Xingfeng to do something behind Cheng Rong and Liu Kai's back. Although Qin Xingfeng looked innocent like an innocent white lotus, he was actually a vengeful person. Since the video in the circle of friends has been leaked to the Qin family, given Qin Xingfeng's character, he will definitely not let the culprit go.
It just so happened that Special Assistant Xu had been paying close attention to Qin Xingfeng during this period, often telling him about Qin Xingfeng's shortcomings, and using Qin Xingfeng's affair with Cheng Rong and Liu Kai as an example to warn him. Chen Qizhao was very interested in this kind of dog-eat-dog drama. Cheng Rong and Liu Kai's project happened to fail, so he just went with the flow and pretended to mention it casually, pushing the drama to a climax.
Cheng Rong said: "Qin Xingfeng is not a good person. He has asked me to organize a group to get close to Xiao Zhao several times."
He said to Chen Qizhao, "I didn't know the right person in the past. I want to apologize to you first. You should be careful about the project you invest in with Ruizhen Electronics. This person can do something to us secretly, and he might hate you."
"That's difficult... I just signed a new contract with Ruizhen Electronics last month." Chen Qizhao looked distressed, shook his wine glass, and said in a flat tone: "I'll ask someone later to see if there is any way to terminate the cooperation, but if we terminate it early, it will be a breach of contract, right?"
Seeing this, Cheng Rong said, "Wait a minute... I'll ask others if there is any solution."
Chen Qizhao watched the actions of others, his eyes fixed on the wine glass.
Breach of contract? Then Ruizhen Electronics should have breached the contract first and paid him a large amount of liquidated damages.
On the other side, Qin Xingfeng had just hung up the phone with Chen Qizhao and called someone else.
His road to borrowing money was not so smooth, but it was okay. He could get some together more or less, and then add some more from the person in charge Wang... Qin Xingfeng's calculations were very good, but not long after, he received the news that Ruizhen Electronics was investigated.
The assistant looked pale: "If they find out something over there, they will probably find out about us soon..."
There are too many accounts involving their company and Ruizhen Electronics.
Qin Xingfeng's face changed immediately. Ruizhen Electronics was in trouble. Where would he find the money to fill the hole in City C? "You ask the finance department to give the computer host..."
But before he could settle the company's accounts, investigators came with a search warrant and sealed off their finance office.
"How could this happen..." Qin Xingfeng looked around blankly at the mess.
Not only is there a problem with the investment in the City C project, but once the news that he used fake business to transfer assets is discovered, the amount of money currently counted is enough to make him go bankrupt directly, or even bear a huge fine. All this happened so fast that he was completely unprepared. He was still trying to find ways to fill the C City project. How could so many things suddenly break out...
It's like someone is pushing me from behind.
Qin Xingfeng had no way to retreat and could only ask people to find connections everywhere. Not to mention borrowing money, as soon as people outside heard the news of the accident, they avoided him like the plague.
Even the Qin family directly announced that they would sever ties with him.
Unable to borrow money and with his private accounts exposed, he is about to face jail time.
-*
When Qin Xingfeng was caught in the middle of the crisis, undercurrents were also surging within the Chen family.
From the moment the net is closed, the person playing chess is destined to reap the rewards that belong to him.
Special Assistant Xu just came out of the conference room. They had been prepared for the incident with Ruizhen Electronics. Because of the cooperation terms and breach of contract conditions at the beginning of the contract, Ruizhen Electronics, which had the accident, was about to pay Chen Qizhao a huge amount of liquidated damages. The detailed accounts needed to be settled with Ruizhen Electronics one by one.
After the meeting, he entered his boss’ office and saw his boss talking to the second son of the Chen family.
"Can I get my investment back?" Chen Qizhao only cared about his own money. "I remember Ruizhen Electronics is very rich. I think I can afford the liquidated damages, right?"
Chen Shiming looked at his brother who was so relieved. For a moment, he didn't know whether to teach him a lesson or praise him for his good luck. "I told you to stay away from Qin Xingfeng, but you still insisted on signing the technology park contract with them. If they hadn't had problems this time..."
"Got it." Chen Qizhao threw the information on the table and played with his phone. He said in a relaxed tone, "Qin Xingfeng will be in soon, too, right?"
"Evildoers will be punished." He smiled and said, "Everyone is happy."
Not only did he go in, he lost everything and became a disgraced person.
If Qin Xingfeng wanted this project in City C, he had to consider whether he could afford it.
This was indeed a good project. In the previous life, it attracted a large number of people who invested a large sum of money, but it was eventually abandoned due to force majeure. Chen Qizhao remembered that until he was reborn, the project was still unfinished. Qin Xingfeng mingles with various circles of rich second-generations as an illegitimate child. On the surface, he seems to be glamorous and successful in his career, but in fact, he often asks people for information and hangs out at drinking parties to inquire about the investment trends of certain bigwigs, always wanting to follow in others' footsteps and get a piece of the pie.
City C is one of them. Chen Qizhao just mentioned it and this person took the bait.
But Qin Xingfeng is not without judgment. It is because his vision is too deep that he cannot help but be tempted by such a promising project, and he may even take risks.
Chen Qizhao had seen a lot of gamblers in his previous life.
And he just gave a small push.
"You can still laugh?" Chen Shiming looked at Chen Qizhao and felt that his tone was a little strange, but he still said, "There are other things that need to be concluded. After all, there is not much loss. I will tell you about the other things after Xiao Xu finishes dealing with the matter."
Chen Qizhao was playing with his cell phone, ignoring the caring words from those around him. Looking at the concern expressed by those "friends" who later shunned him like the plague, he felt that there was something funny and distorted about this world.
He was flipping through the messages and saw a message from the current prince of the Qin family.
This person is called Qin Yunxuan. He suddenly added him not long ago. It seems that it was because of Qin Xingfeng's video that was widely circulated in the circle. This person came directly to him and said that he wanted to be friends with him.
When Qin Xingfeng got into trouble this time, this person almost cheered and applauded in the circle of friends.
Chen Qizhao ignored his message and stretched slightly, "Then I'll leave first?"
"Leaving now?" Chen Shiming looked at him and said, "Dad wants to ask if you want to have lunch at the company."
"No." Chen Qizhao: "I have classes in the afternoon."
After Chen Qizhao left, only Chen Shiming and Special Assistant Xu were left in the office. Chen Shiming put away the documents on the desk and asked again: "Have you found the person who connected with Ruizhen in the Science Park?"
"We found it." Special Assistant Xu was still frightened at the thought. If the Second Young Master had not handed the project over to them from the very beginning, they would not have discovered such a terrifying thing. The Science and Technology Park was originally a transformation and development point for the Chen Group. It was not given much attention within the group and they usually didn't care about it at all. However, this time the cooperation between the Science and Technology Park and Ruizhen Electronics was too smooth and too strange. He followed his boss' instructions to investigate carefully and found a big problem.
Someone colluded with Ruizhen Electronics to steal confidential documents from the Science Park.
Special Assistant Xu said: "But Mr. Chen also agreed to this matter, otherwise they would not dare to be so blatant."
"It's all thanks to my dad's confession, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to catch him. It was a blessing in disguise. They thought it would be convenient, but it was just a knife that accelerated their exposure." Chen Shiming looked indifferent, thinking of the conversation with Chen Jianhong in the morning, and said, "You continue to investigate."
Special Assistant Xu paused and asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"
"Even a small company like the Science Park has people reaching out to them, do you think other companies will have no problems at all?"
Chen Shiming said in a serious tone: "Be gentle, check everything internally, there might be some traitors we don't know about."
Special Assistant Xu was startled: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Chen Shiming put the folded document aside and caught a glimpse of where Chen Qizhao was sitting.
He rubbed his brows and said, "Maybe it's my illusion. How is it possible?"
It seemed as if it had been walking in the dark from the very beginning, as if it was going to uncover some shameful secret.
