The culprit
Qin Shi felt more and more that Lu Zhiyan was not as relaxed as he seemed, especially when it came to his professional expertise. Lu Zhiyan was like a leopard that had smelled delicious food. Once he locked onto the target, he would never let it go easily.
For example, how we treat Jian Lu.
After a few emails, Jian Lu was a little overwhelmed. In the words of Assistant Lin, it was Consultant Lu's elegant writing style that made everyone in Jian Lu feel uneasy.
It was at this time that Jian Qing received a call from Jian An.
"Sister, it's me, Xiao An." A pleasant male voice made Jian Qing at a loss for a moment.
This was the first call she received from Jane's family since she came to the modern world.
"I'm not your sister." Jian Qing replied subconsciously.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then he politely said, "Yes, in my sister's eyes, I'm not a good brother. But Mom and Dad don't think so."
Jian Qing didn't quite understand what Jian An meant. According to Qin Shi's description, Jian Qing was the only daughter in the family and Jian An was her cousin, so who did "Mom and Dad" refer to?
Perhaps sensing Jian Qing's doubts, the voice on the other end of the phone added a touch of pride, as if asserting sovereignty: "Sister, you may not know this yet, but during the time you were away from home, your parents treated me like their own son. Mom and Dad can live without a daughter, but they can't live without an heir. I have the final say in the Jian family."
Qin Shi was right next to Jian Qing, and she heard Jian An's arrogant words.
Jian Qing herself might still be somewhat indifferent, but Qin Shi thought of her best friend. Without waiting for Jian Qing's reply, she said to the phone, "You should have the attitude of asking for help when asking for help. Jian An, stop talking nonsense and pay the money."
Jian An on the other end of the phone immediately became deflated: "Sister Qin Shi, I'm Xiao An. You taught me how to paint when I was a child. So we have a master-disciple relationship." There was a hint of grievance in Jian An's voice.
The response he got was Qin Shi's warning: "Brother, stop acting. If you want Jian Lu to continue operating, just lose more money."
Jian Qing also reacted and said to Qin Shi, "Pay compensation." Then he hung up the phone quickly and decisively.
"Shishi, you know, I'm not ready to face the Jian family yet."
Qin Shi looked at Jian Qing and knew it was time to explain the details of the Jian family to Jian Qing. "Your father, Jian Zhihui, took over Jian's from your grandfather and developed it from a multi-million dollar enterprise into a multi-billion dollar group. Your mother, Ji Tong, is a well-known artist. You have your father's nose, your mother's eyes, and your temper is said to be very similar to that of Mr. Jian."
"What about Jane?"
"He's your uncle's child, just a little brat. He used to play with us. He was quite cunning when he was little, and we often couldn't find him when playing hide-and-seek. Now, he's a complete profiteer."
Jian Qing nodded: "Then I will stay away from profiteers."
"Actually, if the real Qingqing was still alive, I would advise her to contact her parents. They must miss their child very much."
Jian Qing thought thoughtfully: "I understand. Just like if someone could continue to live as Lu Wanqing, I would also hope that she would go to see my parents, but I am a little afraid that it would be exposed."
"That can be explained by a drastic change in temperament after the divorce."
"What if they ask about my childhood..."
"Your car accident caused amnesia."
Jian Qing nodded.
"Then I'll call right away and be a good daughter. This will also be an explanation to the real Miss Jian Qing."
Qin Shi nodded with relief.
Jian Qing dialed the number marked "Dad" in his phone's address book.
There was a busy tone.
Jian Zhihui blocked Jian Qing?
After waiting for a while, Jian Qing's phone rang, and the note was "Dad".
"Dad, I..." Before Jian Qing could think of what to say, he fell silent again.
"Yeah." There was a serious male voice on the other end of the phone.
Jian Qing was on speakerphone, and Qin Shi, who was listening nearby, heard a hint of doubt in his "hmm." She held Jian Qing's hand, signaling him not to answer.
"Haha, sister, it's me, Xiao An." Jian An's voice came from the other end of the phone again.
"Why is it you here? Where's Dad?" Jian Qing tried hard to imitate the daughter in the TV series and talked to the person on the other end of the phone.
"Sister, I am now Dad's spokesperson."
"Jian An, why didn't I realize you were so shameless before? He's Qingqing's father, not your father. Why are you showing off?"
Hearing Jian An's voice, Qin Shi thought of a word: a villain succeeds.
"Sister Shishi, although my father is not my biological father and my sister is not my biological sister, I personally run the Jian Group. All matters, big or small, are decided by me. Do you think this is destined to be ours?"
Perhaps Jian An could hear Qin Shi's displeasure, so she added something to add insult to injury.
"This brat..." Qin Shi was speechless and held back the words "He has grown wings and doesn't recognize people anymore."
"Sisters, don't be angry. As long as Sister Qingqing goes home and admits her mistake to Dad, everything can go back to the way it was before." The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly changed from teasing to sincerity.
"Oh, that's how it is. Qingqing originally planned to contact Uncle Jian to ask about Jian Lu's matter. I wonder if Uncle Jian considers it a business matter or a family matter. If it's a family matter, then it's easy to discuss. We can talk it over calmly and the matter will be over. But if Uncle Jian thinks it's a business matter, then we both need to have a good talk about the issue of compensation."
The person on the other end of the phone wasn't frightened by Qin Shi's warning at all, and continued, "Remember, this is about going home, not making a phone call. I will be the one answering all the calls in your address book."
The person on the other end of the line hung up the phone swiftly, leaving Qin Shi and Jian Qing looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Jian An, has he always been like this?" Jian Qing looked at Qin Shi in confusion.
"It seems... not really. I feel that Jian An's core has also changed." Qin Shi sighed, then stared at Jian Qing in a daze.
"Shishi, don't keep looking at me like that. It makes me nervous." Jian Qing looked at Qin Shi, feeling even more confused.
Qin Shi smiled helplessly and said, "I was wondering if there was a bug in our world and all the people with the surname Jian traveled through time."
Qin Shi then shook her head helplessly, denying her own thoughts. The Jian family's wealth was too tempting. When the Jian family's daughter announced that she would sever all ties with the Jian family, many people must have set their sights on the Jian family's wealth. Jian An was probably the winner after a series of fierce competition.
Qin Shi still felt a little scared when she thought about it. If Lu Zhiyan had not insisted on calling the police, and if the police had not made such rapid progress, the truth might not have come to light until Jianyi Company was severely damaged.
If it weren't for Jian Qing's design, Jianyi Company would have faded out of the fierce competition in the women's clothing market in the fourth quarter.
Thinking about it this way, Jian An's intentions can be described as sinister.
At this time, Qin Shi's cell phone rang, and the caller interface displayed Lu Zhiyan: "Mr. Qin, the Finance Department has roughly calculated the human resource cost loss to be 100,000 yuan. As a competent legal advisor for Jianyi Company, I suggest that you claim 1.2 million yuan from Jianlv Group." Lu Zhiyan's unhurried voice came from the phone, and there was a hint of expectation in his voice.
"From 100,000 to 1.2 million, Mr. Lu is really generous. Are our reasons sufficient?" Qin Shi obviously thought that when Lu Zhiyan contacted him, he deliberately emphasized these two figures in order to show that Consultant Lu played an important role in recovering the group's losses.
Sure enough, the voice on the other end of the phone tinged with pride. "No, no, it's just normal operation. I'm just kindly reminding you about the financial implications. Besides the labor costs involved, don't forget the branding effect. The influence of Urban Jungle Design has already generated considerable commercial value in the market. This commercial value, in essence, represents an economic loss for Jianyi Company."
Qin Shi only lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she understood what Lu Zhiyan meant: "Lu Zhiyan, fortunately you are my friend." She couldn't help but sigh: "If someone like you were my business rival, it would be terrible."
"Just friends?" Lu Zhiyan on the other end of the phone asked tentatively, "I thought we'd fought side by side for so long, that if we weren't close friends, we could be considered reliable partners."
Qin Shi could hear that the person on the other end of the phone deliberately let out a long sigh.
"Yes, yes, we are good partners, good partners working side by side in the same office." Qin Shi said with a smile.
"Well, that's okay. I'll just take it as Boss Qin encouraging me. With Boss Qin's encouragement, I will definitely make Jian Lu lose everything."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shi knew that Lu Zhiyan was fully prepared to confront Jian An.
