Zhou Huilan acted like a rogue, and she and Bao Liu, along with their brood of children, didn't feel aggrieved at all. She rummaged through the cupboards looking for food, Bao Liu rummaged through the cupboards looking for money, and the whole bunch of children ransacked Zhou Chufei's room, demanding food and drink, without feeling embarrassed at all.
Even a lovable kid like Zhou Chufei dislikes these kids, which shows just how wicked they are.
Zhou Jian'an's house wasn't very big to begin with, and he had been living in it all this way to make it easier to scam people. He was afraid that if he moved away, it would be harder to fool his old neighbors.
With Zhou Huilan's arrival, there were suddenly six more people in the house, making it impossible for them to live there all at once. The house was a complete mess, and there was barely any room to walk around.
Zhou Jian'an was the first to find it unbearable.
He pulled Zhou Fangchun aside and said urgently, "Second Sister, what do you mean by this? I could have chased them away, why did you keep them here?"
Zhou Fangchun gestured for him to calm down, then peeled a piece of apple for Zhou Jian'an and smiled nonchalantly.
“Jian’an, our company is short of someone in charge. If we run away, we definitely can’t leave these employees behind. We need someone to make a decision. I’ve been thinking about who to find to be the scapegoat, and when I saw Zhou Huilan and Bao Liu, I figured it out.”
Zhou Jian'an was taken aback. "You mean you want them to take the blame for us?"
“Jian’an, we both know what crimes we’ve committed. If we can’t run away and take the money with us, once we’re caught by the police, with the amount involved in our case being over 100 million, we’ll definitely face the death penalty. But such a large sum of money is likely to attract attention. I’m worried about you running away first, and I’m worried about you running away first. So let’s just go all the way and have Bao Liu and Zhou Huilan become the legal representatives of the company.”
"Then they'll definitely have to split it."
"I estimate that a lot of people will need money before the Lunar New Year, so our institution is bound to go bankrupt. We need to run away before the New Year, but we've already made the lion's share. You and I both have tens of millions in assets. Even if we give the rest to them, it's not much. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. How can they get rid of us cleanly without giving them some benefits?"
Zhou Jian'an agreed after a moment's thought.
Everyone looks out for themselves; otherwise, they'll be condemned by heaven and earth.
He and Zhou Fangchun committed a serious crime, which could very well result in execution.
If Zhou Huilan and Bao Liu aren't dragged into this, they'll be the ones who die.
Zhou Jian'an wasn't that great; no matter how good the sibling relationship was, it wasn't as important as his own life and fortune.
Besides, he never intended to harm Zhou Huilan and Bao Liu. It was those two who were greedy and eager to come in. Zhou Jian'an couldn't very well stop them from making money, could he? They have only themselves to blame!
Zhou Fangchun had Zhou Huilan completely under her control. She deliberately avoided agreeing, making Zhou Huilan believe they were making money without including her. This fueled Zhou Huilan's burning desire to join the company as a shareholder, hoping to effortlessly profit, and she even blamed Zhou Fangchun.
"Is this how you do things? You let outsiders make the money, but not your own family!"
Seeing that Zhou Fangchun ignored her, Zhou Huilan went to Jiang Meifeng again. After all, Jiang Meifeng was her own child and would not betray her.
Jiang Meifeng figured Zhou Fangchun had swindled a lot of money, so she invited Zhou Huilan and Bao Liu to join her, giving them a share, and then they would run away together.
"Fangchun, she's your own sister. It's really not right for you to make money without taking her along. Let me say something that might offend people, but you make so much money, what's wrong with taking care of your sister? You get the meat while she gets the soup, and all your aunts and nephews will thank you in the future!"
Zhou Fangchun looked displeased, but couldn't resist Jiang Meifeng's persuasion, so she reluctantly agreed:
"Alright, let my older sister and brother-in-law be the legal representatives of our company?"
Zhou Huilan was overjoyed, "What is a legal person?"
"The legal representative is the big boss, the major shareholder, and the owner of the shareholders. Originally, I was the legal representative of the company, but since you want to join, we'll change the legal representative to you. You'll get 10% of the profits every month, and you and Bao Liu will join the company as management and manage the company for me and Jian'an!"
Zhou Huilan asked happily, "Management? How many people will I be in charge of?"
“You are in charge of all the dozens of employees in our company. From now on, you will be the company boss. If anyone dares to disobey you, you can fire them directly.”
Zhou Huilan spent her whole life as a farmer and never experienced the taste of power. Who would have thought that she would still have such a powerful moment in her forties?
She'll keep a pot of tea in her office and play cards every day. She'll delegate tasks to her employees. Anyone who disobeys her or doesn't give her gifts to curry favor will be fired. Let's see who dares to disrespect her!
Zhou Huilan and Bao Liu exchanged a glance, overjoyed. Bao Liu, being more worldly-wise, felt that this benefit came too suddenly. Given Zhou Fangchun's stingy nature, why would she be so kind to them?
"Could it be going to explode?"
"Don't worry, my mom's here. Zhou Fangchun might try to scam me, but my mom won't. Do you think Zhou Fangchun is that kind? She lets us be the bosses of a perfectly good company and even gives us a 10% share. It's all because my mom loves me. Otherwise, why would she be so kind?"
"How much does her company earn in a month? What if it only makes a few dozen yuan a month? It wouldn't be right for us to manage it!"
"I heard from my mom that her company can earn tens of thousands a month!"
"What?"
Bao Liu was ecstatic! Tens of thousands of yuan! If he got that much money, he could spend it at the casino for one night and definitely double it back! Then he could return the money, pocket the interest, and no one would know that he had embezzled company funds.
If all else fails, they can just abscond with the money!
He ran off with the money to Guangdong Province and found a young and beautiful wife; that would be much more comfortable than staying with Zhou Huilan, that old hag.
That old hag is just a burden. All she does is tell him not to gamble, without ever considering why he gambles in the first place!
Bao Liu was not an ordinary person; he was destined not to farm and gather pig feed like ordinary people. He was a man destined for great things, and being with this kind of woman would only be a burden.
