Yu Tian was a seasoned veteran. Although he had never been to Hong Kong and knew nothing about finance, his intuition told him that Han Qiong was a good-for-nothing who knew nothing.
Looking at Han Qiong suspiciously, Yu Tian asked, "Your family is in finance, don't you understand what people are talking about?"
"Didn't I already say that I rarely get involved in family business matters?" Han Qiong lowered his head, not daring to look at anyone present.
"Then what are you doing here? What kind of business are you investing in?" Lu Feng asked casually, sneering inwardly at his expression. Back when he went to the grain bureau to swindle people, he wasn't like this at all; he just wasn't skilled enough.
"It's about investing in Jiaming Foods!" Han Qiong said as if grasping at a straw, "My dad is planning to invest in a company in mainland China and asked me to oversee it."
"Really? I've never heard of any Hong Kong investment companies holding shares in Jiaming Foods. They currently have three companies, but they're all state-owned enterprises, banks, and management also holds shares." Lu Feng stared at him and sneered, "Are you sure you know what you're saying?"
Yu Tian asked Yao Yao, "Yao Yao, tell me the truth, in all this time, has he ever paid for anything? Has he ever taken you to Hong Kong?"
Yao Yao's face turned awkward. With so many people watching, she wanted to lie to save face, but she was already five or six months pregnant and had been suspicious all along. She had wanted to stay at the luxury mansion in Hong Kong that he had mentioned and meet his parents many times, but she had been turned down each time.
Yao Yao looked up at the perfect man in her mind and asked, "Han Qiong, are you really from Hong Kong?"
"Yes, it is. I speak Cantonese very well, but there's been a bit of a problem at home." Han Qiong said with an embarrassed expression, "The company isn't that big, and there's been some operational issues. Some of our funds have been frozen by the bank, and we need some money to tide us over."
Those present watched the spectacle with mixed feelings. The uncle's expression was uncertain. Although the outcome was somewhat difficult to accept, it was still acceptable. As long as he had the money to get things going, he would naturally soar to great heights in the future.
"Show me your passport, and why did the bank freeze your account?" Lu Feng pressed.
"It's because the account is at risk and has been frozen urgently. You need to deposit ten thousand US dollars to unfreeze it." Han Qiong looked at Lu Feng somewhat impatiently and said, "You don't understand these things."
"Account at risk? Then withdraw the money and transfer it to another account, my friend. Let me share a little knowledge with you: an account can only be frozen in an emergency if it involves money laundering, the transfer of illegal funds, debts being enforced, or a company applying for asset preservation!" Lu Feng said with a smile.
"What do you do?" Han Qiong frowned deeply, glaring at Lu Feng through gritted teeth.
"Assembly line team leader!" Lu Feng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and said, "Actually, some things are very simple. Didn't we give Grandpa a package of tea? Just open it and let us see what it's like."
Lu Bingwen, who had been listening at the table next to him, hurriedly took out the tea leaves beside him; he could tell at a glance whether they were real or fake.
In fact, Yu Tian, being a seasoned veteran, had already guessed most of the situation. A hint of panic flashed across Han Qiong's face as he said, "My stomach isn't feeling well, I need to go to the restroom!"
"Where are you going?" Yu Tian stepped forward, blocking his way, and said, "Won't it take a little while?"
When it comes to tea, most people can't tell the difference between a tea costing a thousand yuan and one costing two or three thousand yuan, but even a fool can tell the difference between a tea costing a few yuan and one costing tens of thousands of yuan.
Upon opening the box, Lu Bingwen saw that it was just an ordinary tea cake, nothing special. His face turned green, and he hurriedly closed the box. With so many relatives present, he couldn't afford to lose face like this.
At this point, Han Qiong had nothing more to say. When you're out in the world of business, there's always the possibility of something going wrong. This was the first time his methods had backfired, and it was surprising that someone in this remote northern county actually knew about both Hong Kong and finance.
Yu Tian wouldn't let him leave, so Han Qiong sat down. He was quite composed. Yao Yao was already pregnant, so what could this family do to him? Han Qiong stared at Lu Feng for a while, and his intuition told him that this man was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Who exactly are you?"
"Tell me who you are first." Lu Feng was too lazy to talk to him. There were too many people like him nowadays, cheating women out of money and sex. Many girls got pregnant, and their families' money was swindled out under various pretexts and then disappeared without a trace.
Yao Yao sat there, completely dumbfounded. Although she had had her doubts during this time, she still couldn't accept it when the facts were right in front of her. She had always felt that she had married a prince.
Not only does he own a mansion, but he also has an estate abroad. He travels in luxury cars and even by helicopter. Yao Yao was secretly delighted when she became pregnant unexpectedly. Now that the deed is done, he can't escape her.
My uncle stood there, his face turned green. He looked like he'd been struck by lightning. It was already past 1 p.m., and most people were leaving, but this table of people were still sitting there.
"Kid, let me tell you, I have connections in both the county and the city. I can find out which line you're in with just a few phone calls. You'd better tell me yourself, or I'll break your legs," Yu Tian threatened, staring at Han Qiong.
Han Qiong was quite frank, revealing his original name and hometown all at once. Before the wedding, Yao Yao had taken all the money she had earned under various pretexts. The wedding gifts and the bride's dowry money were all used by him to buy clothes, leaving not a single penny.
He said with an air of utter indifference, "Go ahead and hit me if you want. I'm a father now, and I've got my marriage certificate. I'm a man of the underworld; I've been thinking about this day all along."
