Chapter 1513 One-Man Show (Paying Off Debts)
When Gan Xiaomeng met Wen Leyu's gaze, a faint smile was still on her lips. She had just sized up the girl and found her to have the most outstanding temperament. If she was the "section chief of the mobile company" that her mother had mentioned, then today's encounter would be perfect.
But the next moment, Gan Xiaomeng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill run through his body.
Wen Leyu is certainly very beautiful and has a great temperament, but she is also a big boss who manages dozens of investment units. She usually maintains her composure and demeanor in her position, so she is not the kind of "good girl" that Gan Xiaomeng used to meet.
After such an overwhelming aura pressed down on Gan Xiaomeng, what other thoughts could he possibly have?
Gan Xiaomeng couldn't help but turn his head away, not wanting to meet Wen Leyu's gaze.
But Wen Leyu spoke up: "Young man, you used to work for the railway?"
Gan Xiaomeng paused for a moment, then forced a smile and replied, "Yes, I used to work in the railway system, but I felt there was no future in it, so I took a leave of absence without pay and started a trading company."
Wen Leyu nodded and asked, "Oh, what kind of company is your trading company? Is it affiliated, joint venture, or sole proprietorship? How do you handle the tax matters?"
Gan Xiaomeng paused for a moment, then said, "The country is now encouraging the private sector, so my business can be considered private."
Wen Leyu nodded and said, "Indeed, the country's policies are very favorable to private enterprises now. So, what kind of products does your company mainly trade?"
Gan Xiaomeng chuckled and said, "There are several categories! Machinery, chemicals, oil. I have a lot of relatives and friends, so I just do whatever makes money!"
Wen Leyu smiled slightly and turned to look at her older sister, Li Yue.
Li Yue couldn't help but laugh.
Doing whatever makes money sounds like a "reckless" approach, but it actually indicates that you are unprofessional and lack stable trading relationships and clients.
After all, even an international trader like Jin Peng, who has a "very unconventional approach," has a main business category and wouldn't dare to say he'll "do whatever makes money." After all, when it comes to businesses he's not good at, the chances of losing money increase significantly.
Gan Xiaomeng didn't dare answer the tax questions at all. What kind of legitimate company could it be? It was obviously a shell company!
So, a company like Gan Xiaomeng's, which is just a "showy" company, might be able to fool some naive young girls, but to think it could fool experts like Wen Leyu and Li Yue is simply a pipe dream.
However, Gan Xiaomeng was obviously unaware of these things.
After Wen Leyu lost interest in him, he felt the chill from before disappear, and then he perked up again.
“I have a few friends who made over 30 million yuan last month from an aluminum ingot deal, which is more than the annual profit of a state-owned enterprise.”
"In the past two years, the steel market has been somewhat sluggish. When I first entered the industry the year before last, making hundreds of thousands a day was nothing special."
“.”
Gan Xiaomeng spoke for two minutes, spitting as he went, when he suddenly noticed that everyone at the table was looking at him strangely.
How should I put it? It's like watching monkeys in a zoo.
Gan Xiaomeng had no idea that the Li family had all met people who could make money sitting at home by issuing approvals.
For example, Li Ye's brother-in-law Wen Guohua, and Wen Leyu's sister-in-law Pan Xiaoying, are able to make money through legitimate means with Li Ye's support, so why would they get their hands dirty with this kind of money?
Would people like Wen Guohua and Pan Xiaoying boast that they earned 30 million yuan while sitting at home?
So Gan Xiaomeng's words completely exposed his true colors.
After talking for a while, Gan Xiaomeng realized that no one was talking to her, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
These country girls from Dongshan, do they not understand what I'm saying?
However, Gan Xiaomeng was very persistent and immediately changed his mind, talking about art.
"Hey, actually, running a trading company is just a side business for me. I really enjoy singing. My friend and I run a unique bar in Houhai, and we often invite famous singers over to sing and interact with them."
Many of these singers have already released albums, like the one with "No Place to Hide," who used to perform at our bar.
“.”
Gan Xiaomeng rambled on and on, then suddenly felt he couldn't continue.
Based on Gan Xiaomeng's experience, any normal girl, upon hearing that she knows celebrities who have appeared on television or released cassette tapes, would show a very admiring expression and then actively cooperate in continuing the conversation.
But even after he'd been talking for so long today, not a single person at the table had spoken to him; they were all just quietly watching his performance.
Ren Fangfang couldn't stand it anymore.
Are you all mute?
"Xiaomin, Xiaoli, what are you two doing as older sisters? Are you just relying on Xiaomeng to entertain the guests? You two should speak up too!"
Ji Xiangmin and Ji Xiangli exchanged a glance, both looking embarrassed.
Is your son here to entertain guests, or to put on a solo performance?
Just then, Ji Xiangyu's grandmother suddenly stood up and whispered to her daughter-in-law, "Xiao Miao, my stomach is suddenly feeling a little uncomfortable. Could you come out with me for a moment?"
Ren Miaomiao quickly helped her mother-in-law out of the private room. Her mother-in-law was over seventy years old, and someone would definitely need to accompany her to the restroom.
But after the two left the private room, Grandma Liu said coldly, "After one minute, go back inside and say you need to go home to get my medicine. Have your precious nephew take you there on his motorcycle."
"When you get home, tell them I've finished my medicine, then go to the hospital to buy more. No matter what, don't let Gan Xiaomeng come back today."
Ren Miaomiao was taken aback, and quickly whispered, "Mom, are you unhappy? Don't worry, I promise I won't play matchmaker today. I'll talk to my sister properly later."
"It'll be too late to say it later!"
Grandma Liu glared at Ren Miaomiao: "Today we're just meeting with them, we're not engaged or married yet! Do you think Xiangyu's marriage is a done deal? If there's a fly buzzing around you all day, even if it's not shit, people will think you're shit."
“.”
Ren Miaomiao was stunned by her mother-in-law's scolding, but then she felt a chill run down her spine upon closer examination.
The Ji family was extremely satisfied that their son had found Zhao Meiwen, and judging from today's events, they had previously underestimated her.
You know, if such a good match is ruined by a fly, where can you go to regret it?
"Oh well"
Ren Miaomiao was conflicted, but for the sake of her son, she turned around and went back to the private room.
She was a little worried. What if she offered to drive her home to get medicine for her mother-in-law?
But things turned out completely differently than Ren Miaomiao expected. When she asked Gan Xiaomeng to take her back to get her medicine, everyone urged Gan Xiaomeng to leave quickly, except for her younger sister, Ren Fangfang.
Gan Xiaomeng had no choice but to leave with Ren Miaomiao because he couldn't stay there any longer.
Ren Fangfang followed Gan Xiaomeng out, glaring at her sister with a dark face, but was stopped by Grandma Liu.
"I know what you're up to, but I advise you to give up on that idea. Your son is good for nothing, good for nothing, and just messes around all day. He's not a good match for that girl. Don't shamelessly try to get close to her."
Ren Fangfang said in shock, "Grandma, what are you saying? How is my son inferior to your grandson?"
Grandma Liu said coldly, "I don't care whether it's good or bad, but if you dare to cause trouble here today, I'll go straight to your workplaces and see if you can still support your son after you lose your jobs."
Ren Fangfang laughed angrily: "Old lady, are you going to make a scene at our workplace? And make us both lose our jobs? What gives you the right?"
"I'm going to ask your boss how your son managed to cover such a huge debt."
“.”
Ren Fangfang was stunned for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, "Grandma, do you know that you're framing someone? Although we're relatives, framing someone is a legal offense."
"Hmph~"
Grandma Liu snorted and said, "I'm over seventy years old this year, the law has no effect on me. I don't care whether Ren Miaomiao is related to your family or not, but our Ji family has no relatives like you."
"If you're not convinced, then try it! Others may not know what kind of person your husband is, but do you think I don't?"
“.”
