Pei Xingyao was right behind her and saw the news clearly. He almost immediately understood what was going on.
No wonder Xiang Yongkang always doesn’t care about the eldest daughter. It turns out that he already has a so-called "incense"!
He was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe: "Miss..."
"Why? Do you think I'll be sad?" Xiang Wanwan laughed. "Assistant Pei, am I really so weak and helpless in your heart, and so emotional? I'm not Miss Wei Heng. In this world, only true love is worthy of attention. You can't gain love just by being related by blood."
It's good that she can think this way, but... just because she doesn't care doesn't mean these people can hurt her at will! Pei Xingyao clenched her fingers, suppressed the murderous intent in her heart, and asked, "Miss, what are you going to do?"
Xiang Wanwan tapped the tabletop with her fingertips, looking at the photo on the tablet, her lips curled up. "Xiang Yongkang probably thinks this is the incense of their family. Assistant Pei, do you think this precious son is also waiting to inherit everything from the Xiang family, or even everything from the Du family? When he's watching the trending searches, is he also thinking that Xiang Wanwan is nothing special, and everything is his?"
Xiang Yongkang thought the same, right? With a son, the Xiang family would have an heir.
Then, she had to let this precious son of the Xiang family "inherit" everything from the Xiang family.
Xiang Wanwan picked out the least relevant of Runjia Investment's complex business relationships and asked, "Ding Zhiyuan went to work at Hengchen?"
"Yes. I heard that Xiang Yongkang seemed very pleased with him because of his contribution in signing a big deal. He immediately promoted him to vice president. From the looks of it, Xiang Yongkang is ready to devote himself to mending his relationship with you, and has basically handed the company over to Ding Zhiyuan."
He couldn't hide the surprise in his tone.
He had met Ding Zhiyuan several times. He didn't seem to have any special qualities. Apart from a bit of cleverness, he was obsessed with picking up women. What kind of magic could make Xiang Yongkang trust him so much?
"He is very good at fooling people." Xiang Wanwan said simply.
Ding Zhiyuan has a harem system and the aura of a powerful male stud. Aside from his repeated setbacks with her, everything else is exactly as described in the novel. He can gain beauty, power, and the trust of those in high positions with just a few words of flattery.
"That's perfect." Xiang Wanwan said, then asked, "How's the Yi family doing?"
Pei Xingyao's voice was slightly cold: "No movement."
A day and a night had passed since the Monsoon Hotel's opening reception, and the Yi family hadn't made a single move. They hadn't come to question Xiang Wanwan about her assault, nor had they seemed to take Xiang Wanwan's proposal to withdraw her investment seriously.
The fact is, the Yi family originally took it to heart.
Let’s go back to the night of the cocktail party.
Yi Jiantai watched Xiang Wanwan leave and immediately had a feeling that things would not end well. He immediately reported the matter to his superiors while greeting the guests.
The Yi family is also a family business. Chichang Group owns several hotel brands. Its chairman is Yi Qiming's grandfather, Yi Fengxi. However, he has largely withdrawn from the company's operations, leaving the day-to-day operations to his eldest son, Yi Huining, Yi Qiming's father. The various hotel brands are managed by Yi Qiming's brothers.
When he received the news, Yi Huining was drinking tea with a few brothers and almost overturned the coffee table.
Yi Huining had always known that Yi Qiming liked to use some shady tactics on women, but he hadn't expected him to use them at the opening reception, and even on the chairman of Runjia Investment! He hadn't succeeded in his attempt, and was beaten to a pulp, a scene that became public knowledge!
The Yi family has lost all face! They've also offended Runjia Investment and are threatening to withdraw their investment!
Yi Huining nearly smashed the rosewood coffee table at home, shouting until his throat hurt: "Bring that thing back to me that can't do anything good but only makes things worse!"
His brothers exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts, and advised, "Brother, don't be angry. Qiming is just impulsive and young, lacking experience. He's not a bad person by nature. If it were another child, they would have dragged Xiang Wanwan into his room and made a fait accompli! There's no chance for them to get physical."
"How dare he!" Yi Huining gasped and cursed, "Is that an ordinary woman? She's the chairman of Runjia Investment! Now Runjia is trying to withdraw its investment! You all know about the losses in other areas, and we relied on this investment in the Monsoon Hotel to connect the capital chain. Now, look, this brat has messed it up, and it's all gone! Where can we find the money? Jiantai's hard work has been wasted!"
When Yi Jiantai was mentioned, several people became more alert and began to persuade him again.
"Brother, you're taking this too seriously. Xiang Wanwan is just a puppet. The little girl has never seen the world and thinks the chairman is like the emperor, who will do whatever he says. But it's not that simple. The board of directors of Runjia will never let her withdraw her investment. Management rights are not in her hands."
"I heard Qiming was beaten so badly he couldn't even stand up and his nose was bleeding the whole time. Brother, you should feel sorry for your son too! It was Xiang Wanwan who started it first, so why are you only blaming Qiming?"
Yi Huining was initially furious, but after some persuasion from his brothers, his anger gradually subsided. He felt that his brothers were right. Xiang Wanwan wasn't Du Jingyuan, so what was there to be afraid of? Even if she wanted to act recklessly, the board of directors wouldn't approve.
Yi Huixuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their eldest brother had been persuaded. Before leaving the old house, they sent voice messages to chat for a while.
"Big Brother's words have been getting more and more disrespectful lately. What do you mean by 'deficits in other areas'? Isn't that just scolding us for not making money?"
"He not only blames us for not making money, but also for not being able to attract investment. Look at how he kept mentioning that kid Yi Jiantai tonight. Isn't he just praising Yi Jiantai for being able to share his worries and attract investment for him?"
"Qiming is already the eldest grandson of the eldest son's family, the old man's designated heir, but Big Brother is unwilling to give us a share of the pie and insists on supporting that brat Jiantai. Isn't this just a way to transfer all the hotel brands we have to their eldest son's family?"
"We have to stop this. Whether it succeeds or not, it will benefit us. If Runjia Group lets it go, we can stop Big Brother from apologizing to save the Yi family's reputation. If Runjia really withdraws its investment, Jiantai will suffer. Big Brother will definitely be criticized by the board of directors for supporting Jiantai. The old man will definitely give the opportunity to attract investment to us."
"Ah... Come to think of it, it's the old man's fault. It's a different era now, and he still insists on the 'primogeniture system'. Seeing my eldest brother and his family living a life of luxury, why do we, his biological sons and grandsons, have to work as laborers?"
After a few people got together, they worked together to stop the incident.
First, they blocked Yi Jiantai in the Monsoon Hotel from all sides, making him busy patching up holes everywhere. Then they brought Yi Qiming, the troublemaker, to the hotel under their control, and ordered the hotel management to just serve the young master well and not let him know anything about the outside world.
After waiting for a whole day and night, Runjia showed no sign of movement. Yi Huixuan and several other vice presidents even went to Chichang's president's office to find Yi Qiming, chatting and drinking tea.
"Brother, what did I say? Xiang Wanwan was just saying it for fun. She's just a little girl, and she's just putting on a show at Runjia. Divest investment? Go after us? If she really wants to, do those directors and executives let her do it?"
"You are just old, you worry too much and worry too much."
The assistant rushed into the office at this moment: "Boss Yi..."
"What are you doing?" Yi Huixuan scolded, "Can't you see that several of our vice presidents are here? Do you understand the rules? You barged in without knocking. Do you want to quit your job?"
The assistant worked alongside Yi Huining and knew full well that the Chichang Group was in tatters, its funding chain hanging by a thread. She ignored the scolding and shouted with a pale face, "Boss Yi, Runjia sent a formal letter saying they believe the Monsoon Hotel is poorly managed and the person in charge has questionable character. They're worried about huge negative news in the future, and after they've reassessed the risks..."
Yi Huining stood up suddenly, spilling scalding tea all over the table, soaking his precious suit pants. He was unaware of it, and only asked in a trembling voice, "What happened next?"
The assistant was almost in tears: "After that, we decided to stop investing in the Monsoon Hotel. Apart from the 5 million that has already been received in the first installment, the remaining 45 million... will not be available."
Wha…what?! Yi Huining groaned, clutched his chest, and fell face down on the sofa with a thud.
“Big Brother!”
"Boss Yi!"
"What are you standing there for? Call an ambulance!"
Chichang Group is located in the commercial center, surrounded by large companies. The gossip of the bosses is a source of entertainment for the working class. For a time, all the major WeChat groups, gossip forums, and marketing accounts on Weibo were posting the same message:
"Chichang Group suddenly called an ambulance. It was said that the CEO Yi Huining had a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital."
In the Internet age, news spreads very quickly. In less than half an hour, almost everyone in Jiangcheng’s business district knew about it and was discussing the gossip.
"What happened? Why did Yi Huining suddenly have a heart attack and be admitted to the hospital?"
"I heard that just a few days after the Monsoon Hotel opened, Runjia Investment decided to withdraw their investment. All previously promised investments, except for those that had already arrived, were halted. Chichang's funding chain had been in trouble for a long time, and once Runjia withdrew its investment, their funding chain was broken. Yi Huining couldn't handle the shock and was admitted to the hospital."
"Ah? Is there a problem with Chichang's funding chain?"
"What kind of news is this? Almost everyone in the hotel industry knows about it, right? All of Chi Chang's hotels have run into problems, big and small, and are all in the red. I heard they finally managed to secure investment from Runjia, the second-largest investor in the Monsoon Hotel. They're planning to invest 50 million, with the first 5 million already in place. Otherwise, why would Runjia's chairman show up at the opening?"
"Runjia is also fun. They invest when they say they will invest and withdraw when they say they will withdraw."
"There's something fishy going on here, don't you know? Runjia invested because Yao Keyan promised profitability, overwhelming all dissenting opinions. But before the Monsoon Hotel even opened, Yao Keyan resigned. As for the withdrawal of investment, it's said that at the Monsoon Hotel's opening reception, Young Master Yi tried to take advantage of Runjia's new chairman. The new chairman, still angry at the beating, and still resentful that the Yi family showed up in the evening for the former chairman's funeral, he accused the Yi family of being fence-sitters and, in a rage, withdrew his investment."
"??? I'm young, and this is the first time I've seen something like this. Knowing that it was the sponsor, he didn't even actively attend the funeral and even teased the sponsor?"
"Not only did he harass me, he even got beaten after the harassment, and he still refused to apologize. I heard that Runjia gave Chichang a day and a night, but Chichang acted as if nothing had happened, and the chairman of Runjia was furious."
"Runjia's chairman? That Xiang Wanwan? Why would Chi Chang be so desperate as to provoke this woman? Doesn't he know what her reputation is in Jiangcheng lately? This real daughter has been back in the wealthy family for less than a month, and she's already made so many big news. First, she denied her biological father, then forced Yao Kehan to resign and took the chairman position at Runjia. This is a person who doesn't recognize her relatives. When she gets ruthless, she won't even give face to her biological father."
"I heard that the Yi family originally thought that Xiang Wanwan was just a mascot and had no real power. I didn't expect..."
"Regardless of whether Xiang Wanwan is a mascot or not, she's the real deal, holding onto the Du family's 900 billion yuan in assets. She's rich! You know how to be willful when you're rich? Even if she's truly a mascot and doesn't know anything, having money is enough! Why would you want to be so entangled with money?"
"Why go against money? +1."
"I've discovered that Xiang Wanwan, the real daughter of a wealthy family, is truly amazing. Every time someone underestimates her or offends her, they end up in big trouble."
The Yi family should understand this principle now, right? Pei Xingyao looked at the report and asked, "Miss, if the Yi family comes to you to apologize, will you let them go?"
"Without this if, the Yi family wouldn't come to me to apologize." Xiang Wanwan lowered her head and signed.
For a family that prides itself on being a family of generations, face is paramount. If Runjia's chairman were still her grandfather, the Yi family might have sent a younger generation to apologize. But now the chairman was her, a mere junior of the same generation as Yi Qiming, a twenty-year-old newly found daughter of a wealthy family, currently locked in a life-and-death struggle with her biological father.
Money holds relationships together, but affection is the fig leaf. The more snobbish the family, the more they use vague notions like affection and filial piety as a cover, and the more they prioritize things like face. Currently, among Jiangcheng's wealthy families, only the Mo family has any contact with her, and that's a private one. Aside from a visit from the Mo family at her grandfather's funeral, their interactions are almost nonexistent.
From the Yi family's perspective, the wealthy families of Jiangcheng all prided themselves on their lineage and pride, disdaining to associate with a rebellious daughter like her who refused to obey filial piety and acknowledge her father. Being willing to marry her was one thing, but bowing to her and acknowledging her power was another.
In short, the Yi family will never be the first to bow to her.
What's more, seeing the relationship between Yi Qiming and Yi Jiantai that day, she could roughly guess the relationship within the Yi family.
When large families fight for power, their vision is sometimes very short-sighted. They don't consider that everyone prospers together and everyone suffers together. If they don't have power and can only be a bystander sharing the leftovers, then their first thought is to ask the powerful to give up power.
They don't care how much power is left after others have divided it up. As long as they have the opportunity to touch the power, that's enough.
Now, the Yi family is still arguing in the hospital, right?
Xiang Wanwan asked, "How's Hengchen doing?"
"I'm ready." Pei Xingyao replied.
The Yi family was exactly as Xiang Wanwan had thought. Nearly ten people in total were arguing in the hospital.
"Uncle, our capital chain is already in jeopardy. If we don't find a solution, we might... go bankrupt!" Yi Jiantai advised. "Besides, this matter was originally Big Brother's fault. It was our Yi family who was disrespectful first. Let Big Brother come with me to apologize to Director Xiang!"
"You can't give in!" A group of sub-brand general managers, led by Yi Huixuan, kept persuading him, "Brother, if you give in now, where will our Yi family's reputation be? We are a well-established wealthy family in Jiangcheng, with so many people watching us! We are a wealthy family with a lot of assets. At worst, we can secretly sell some assets to fill the gap first. If we apologize, how can our Yi family face anyone in Jiangcheng in the future?"
Yi Huining was almost driven to illness by the noise again, but in the end, it was the old man of the Yi family who spoke up: "The Yi family cannot lose face!"
The final word was in the end, and Yi Huining had no choice but to drag his sick body and secretly sell some of his assets, especially houses and cars, at low prices and convert them into cash. Yi Huixuan and the others all laughed - this time, let's see if the eldest son will get away with it!
At the same time, they also saw an opportunity. This time, whoever could resolve the crisis and attract investment would win the old man's favor. Then, when the old man divided the equity, he might even replace the president.
While they were desperately trying to persuade their boss, Yi Huining, to sell off his assets, they were secretly contacting various wealthy families to try to attract investment. When they were alone, they had already begun to dream of becoming the president of Chichang Group.
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
The dream was ruthlessly awakened by reality.
First, the news of Runjia's withdrawal of investment was widely circulated, and then Yi Huining secretly sold off assets. It was obvious that there was a big problem with the capital chain of Chichang Group.
We are all doing business, so who would be willing to make a loss?
As the risk increased, other investors began to take notice and essentially pulled out as many as they could. Less than two days after Runjia withdrew, Chichang Group was on the verge of collapse.
The company is a building, and the funds are the foundation, steel bars, and load-bearing walls. Once the capital chain is broken, the building will collapse like a mountain, and there will be deadly crises everywhere.
Payments were thwarted. Suppliers of fresh food and other items were unwilling to make advance payments and were pressing for payment. Employees were unable to get their salaries paid, leaving them panicked and distracted from their work. Some unscrupulous employees took advantage of the chaos to make extra money, engaging in numerous incidents of candid photography and the buying and selling of celebrity guest check-in information.
Although the negative news has been suppressed, the reputation has declined, the customer base has decreased, and the turnover has continued to decline.
In a wealthy family, it's easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance. Furthermore, the Yi family's loopholes are too large to be patched by just anyone. And which of the Yi family's so-called relatives, friends, and wealthy acquaintances isn't a businessman?
As businessmen, they are afraid of losing money. So, they chose to watch the fun.
When everyone's attention was focused on the Yi family, no one noticed that the eldest daughter of the Qi family quietly went to the headquarters of Runjia Investment.
"Not bad." Xiang Wanwan flipped through the proposal, a genuine smile etched across her brow. "Ms. Qi, you're quite talented in business to have come up with this plan in just three days."
Qi Zhiyou was extremely nervous and her face turned red from the praise. She didn't know how to respond and could only smile shyly.
"I think it's feasible and I've basically agreed. Next, Assistant Pei and other staff from my company will conduct a risk assessment. In my opinion, 90% of them will agree, and the remaining 10% depends on my mood. Miss Qi, go back and tell your father that I can invest, but whoever made the plan will be the one in charge. Otherwise..." Xiang Wanwan curled her lips and smiled. "I'm a moody person. I do things completely based on my mood. I can't say when to withdraw the investment. If he doesn't understand the situation, he can look at the current situation of the Yi family."
The Yi family looked like this… Qi Zhiyou was so frightened that she kept saying, “Okay, okay, I understand.”
"Ms. Qi, we need to have a brief meeting with you. Please briefly present the plan." Pei Xingyao raised her hand. "Please come this way."
Qi Zhiyou hurried over with the plan, and Wei Heng followed her, intending to enter the conference room. However, just as they reached the door, they were suddenly stopped by someone.
"Xiao Heng, wait a minute."
Wei Heng looked back, but didn't stop. He just said, "Dad, wait a minute. Zhiyou is timid. I'll accompany her. She won't be easily scared. If she speaks more clearly, her chances of passing will be higher."
"Stop right there!" Wei Nanrong shouted in a deep voice, "This is a company matter, why are you messing around? Come here and tell me what you've been doing these past few days!"
Wei Heng could only stop and frown as he explained, "Dad, I've been helping Zhiyou overcome her difficulties these past few days."
"You're just fooling around. What's going on with the Qi family? Why are you making such a fuss? You're not Director Xiang. Is it your turn to show up at a meeting? Am I doting on you too much? You can't even tell the difference between the important and the unimportant." Wei Nanrong scolded, "You've had enough fun for three days. It's time to go home. I have a date with the young master of the Xu family tonight. He likes fresh and elegant women. Go back and put on some light makeup and choose a simple and elegant dress. I'll have someone pick you up in the evening."
Tonight? Wei Heng subconsciously protested: "But I have to accompany Zhiyou tonight to perfect the plan, so I don't have time..."
"What plans do you know? You're not Qi Zhiyou or Xiang Wanwan. Their fathers are useless, so they can only let their daughters show up in public. Your father is still alive and can earn money for you to spend. All you have to do is learn to be a lady and find a good family to marry. The greatest happiness in a woman's life is to find a good husband. Why ask for trouble?"
Wei Nanrong's tone brooked no refusal. "I'll have our driver, Lao Li, come pick you up. We'll go home soon. Look at you. You have dark circles under your eyes. You're not pretty anymore. Go back and get a beauty treatment. It's right to listen to Dad. Would Dad harm you? Young Master Xu is a very good man."
"But..." Wei Heng bit her lip.
"Xiao Heng." Wei Nanrong emphasized, "Be obedient."
Xiang Wanwan, who happened to be passing by, smiled silently.
She was originally worried about the progress of awakening, but now with Wei Nanrong's words "obedient", everything is fine.
Sure enough, as soon as these two words fell, Wei Heng became angry: "I won't go on a blind date! Which man can I trust? I don't want to be a rich woman! Dad, you only say obey, obey, my life can only be obedient, can't I have my own wishes? Am I a human being?"
After saying that, she ran into the lounge next to the conference room in her high heels.
And in Xiang Wanwan's mind, the system's voice sounded again:
"Character [Wei Heng]'s awakening level is 85%. It is estimated that awakening this character will gain 10,000 awakening points."
Okay, it's almost done.
Xiang Wanwan returned to the office and ordered, "It's time to take action."
Chapter 24 I want to be like Xiang Wanwan, holding great power, and whoever I want to obey will have to obey!
As soon as Qi Zhiyou came out of the conference room, Wei Heng rushed over impatiently, hugged her arm and asked nervously, "How is it? Is everything going well?"
"I...I don't know." Qi Zhiyou said faintly, "I just told them my idea, and they said, 'Okay, that's fine, but for the return on investment, we'll send someone to mentor you.' I agreed, and then, we signed the first step of the contract."
"Really? It seems like it's done." Wei Heng happily took her arm to the elevator, and they discussed it as they went downstairs.
Her car was parked at the gate of Runjia Group. With so many people coming and going, she didn't even notice who was there. That is until a voice rang out: "Xiao Heng... no, Miss Wei?"
Wei Heng stopped and turned around, also surprised: "Mr. Ding? Why are you here?"
It turned out to be Ding Zhiyuan.
He was wearing a suit and had a wry smile on his face. He looked towards the front desk and said, "I'm here to accompany a poor father. Miss Wei, what about you? And who is this...?"
"Oh, this is Miss Qi from Jingyuan Hotel. I accompanied her here to discuss some business." Wei Heng said simply.
Perhaps because she had just had an argument with her father, she didn't want to talk to this man any more. She nodded slightly and was about to leave. "Mr. Ding, we have something else to do. We'll excuse ourselves first."
What happened to her? Ding Zhiyuan looked at the favorability rating above her head. It had been almost at 40%, but after not seeing her for a few days, it had suddenly dropped to 25%! And in just a short period of time, it had immediately dropped another 3%, and it looked like it was about to drop from "friendly" to "average" again.
What's going on? Ding Zhiyuan frowned unconsciously, and a thought flashed through his mind, and his original thoughts became clear again. Just now, when he was smoking at Hengchen Group, the words that man said rang in his ears again.
"Boss Ding, don't blame me for being nosy. Don't look at how glorious you are now. In fact, you still have nothing. No matter how much Boss Xiang loves you, you are still an outsider, right? A man cannot do without his own career. To put it bluntly, you are busy all the time, what if Miss Xiang marries someone else in the future? Don't you think so? If I were you, I wouldn't want to marry Miss Xiang. No matter whether it's true or not, I will take advantage of the fact that Boss Xiang still likes me and work hard to make money."
These words resonated deeply with Ding Zhiyuan. Ever since Xiang Wanwan publicly humiliated him at the hotel that day, he hadn't wanted to marry her. He was a man with a harem, destined to be Long Aotian. For the Long Aotian in the film, pleasing women was just a hobby. When had he ever truly groveled before a woman?
Instead of trying to please Xiang Wanwan, it's better to find a way to make some money first. Long Aotian wants to upgrade his career, how can he do it without money?
But how to get the money?
I can't really listen to what that person says...
Ding Zhiyuan thought about it and suddenly remembered something - did Wei Heng just say that the elegant beauty next to him was from Jingyuan Hotel?
By the way, Jiangcheng has been buzzing lately about the Yi family, the hotel chain, having offended Xiang Wanwan and withdrawing their investment, and the company is on the verge of collapse. So, is Xiang Wanwan meeting the eldest daughter of the Jingyuan Hotel to support another hotel brand, or is she really going to take on the Yi family?
Is what that person said true? Is the Yi family in dire straits?
"Zhiyuan!" Xiang Yongkang's voice rang out, his voice filled with obvious impatience and scolding. "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go!"
Ding Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with anger, but he could only endure it and said with his head down, "Yes."
Xiang Yongkang had been acting crazy lately, suddenly wanting to play Xiang Wanwan's mother's affections with her. He spent a long time at home reviewing his past relationship with his first wife, Du Qingjia, and kept looking for opportunities to see Xiang Wanwan and tell her about the past. He even found a whole box of Du Qingjia's belongings and brought them out.
Now, he came to Xiang Wanwan again with the photo album of Du Qingjia. But Xiang Wanwan was still the same, leaving the things behind but not seeing him.
The scale of Runjia is far superior to that of Hengchen. Every time Xiang Yongkang wants to see Xiang Wanwan, he will be stopped no matter at the door of Du's house or at the front desk of Runjia.
Someone will politely say: Sorry, we don’t have time for you, please go back.
It seems like they are not father and daughter, but really a small company boss who wants to meet the chairman of a large group.
The status between them is as different as heaven and earth.
Xiang Yongkang said nothing to his face and would come back the next time, but in private, his temper was beyond description, and he would insult others at the slightest provocation. According to Xiang Yongkang, he trusted no one but him, so Ding Zhiyuan could only work as his driver and endure his bad temper.
While driving, Ding Zhiyuan was upset when he heard Xiang Yongkang insulting Xiang Wanwan in the back seat.
The man's words rang in my ears again.
"Mr. Ding, the truth is, there's no room for you to make any effort in the Xiang family. Do you really think President Xiang will marry his precious daughter to you? If I were you, I'd rather make a fortune and then get away with it. Wouldn't it be better to take a few million and go to another city to build my own business? Why get involved in this mess with the Xiang family?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the Yi family is in trouble right now, and I happen to know the boss of a company who has some spare money. He actually wants to help the Yi family. He also promised that as long as you can have President Xiang secretly operate, the money will be loaned to the Yi family in the name of Hengchen to help them through the difficult times. Afterwards, you and I will both get a big red envelope. The boss promised to give me a villa, and you can choose cash or a house."
"That's a good thing. If I hadn't really had a say in front of President Xiang, I wouldn't be willing to cooperate with you."
Take the money and run away... Besides, he doesn't have to pay, he just acts as a matchmaker...
Ding Zhiyuan finally got excited and said, "Boss Xiang, I just saw people from Jingyuan Hotel coming. Is Xiang Wanwan really going to deal with the Yi family?"
Who knows? Xiang Yongkang didn't answer, but folded his arms and looked outside.
Ding Zhiyuan continued, "Tell me, is Xiang Wanwan unwilling to see you now because her current situation is not good? Does she not want to embarrass herself in front of you? I heard that large groups all have boards of directors. Although she is already the chairman, she can't do whatever she wants, right? She has such an ugly relationship with the Yi family. The board of directors must be dissatisfied. Now she is riding a tiger and it is difficult to back down. Either she kills the Yi family, or she will be played to death by the Yi family and embarrassed by the board of directors. But dealing with the Yi family is not that easy. If, President Xiang, you help her settle the Yi family matter, do you think she will be happy?"
This... Xiang Yongkang's eyes moved, but he didn't say it out loud. He just snorted coldly: "Do you think the Yi family is so easy to deal with?"
"I don't know, but I know what they want is very simple," Ding Zhiyuan said. "Isn't the Yi family just short of money? And isn't Xiang Wanwan just trying to prove herself and get an apology from the Yi family for what happened that day? Mr. Xiang, you have some status in Jiangcheng, and you're Xiang Wanwan's father. Others don't dare to lend money to the Yi family because they're afraid Xiang Wanwan will settle the score later. But what can she do to you? She's your daughter after all. Do you really not care about your reputation at all?"
"As long as you lend the money to the Yi family and ask them to apologize in person, Runjia will continue to invest. The Yi family will regard you as a great benefactor in the future, and Xiang Wanwan will also be able to avoid being embarrassed by the board of directors because of you. She will definitely be grateful to you. Then, wouldn't you be killing two birds with one stone?"
That's true, but where would Hengchen get the money? He still didn't know where to get the money to pay off Xiang Wanyi's credit card debt last time!
"As for the money, don't worry, I have a solution."
Xiang Yongkang finally couldn't help it: "You? You're a delivery guy, what can you do?"
He mentioned the fact that he was a delivery man again! How long ago did that happen? He is now the vice president of Hengchen Group! Ding Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, but his tone did not change at all: "My family used to have some old friends. Mr. Xiang, anyway, you just need to come forward for this matter, and you don't have to worry about the money. How is it?"
Xiang Yongkang didn't want to agree at first, but when he thought about the setbacks he had encountered in the past few days, he couldn't help it.
If there were other ways to please Xiang Wanwan, why did he have to be so humble and go to the front desk of Runjia and let everyone laugh at him?
Xiang Yongkang hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help asking, "I really don't have to pay?"
Although Ding Zhiyuan himself didn't know, he had already promised in advance: "Of course it's true! President Xiang, wait, I'll arrange a meeting for you."
Back at Hengchen, Ding Zhiyuan pretended to make a phone call, but in fact he was contacting the old employee: "I can promise you, but you can't show up. Give me the contact information of that company."
"Hey, kid, are you still afraid that I'll cheat you? Fine, I'll give it to you. I'm the initiator anyway, and the Yi family and the boss will never forget my kindness."
Afterwards, he actually gave the contact information to Ding Zhiyuan.
Ding Zhiyuan continued to pretend to be sophisticated, gave the contact information to Xiang Yongkang, and followed Xiang Yongkang to meet this legendary philanthropist.
The kindhearted man's surname was Fang, and his name was Fang Kuai. He was about 40 years old, bald and with a big belly. We met at a teahouse. As soon as we met, he began to talk about how he had received kindness from the Yi family in the past, and how he was now returning the favor.
"Besides repaying a favor, I also want to make a little money." Fang Kuai said with a chuckle, "The Yi family's interest rates have always been very high. Mr. Xiang, I'm really sorry to have troubled you to come out."
He said he was sorry, but he never mentioned the benefits he had given him.
When Xiang Yongkang heard about the interest, he couldn't help but ask, "How much interest did the Yi family promise?"
Fang Kuai rubbed his fingers and said, "5.6, term is six months, and the increase is 30%."
Xiang Yongkang did some calculations in his mind. This meant that if the fat man lent the Yi family 50 million yuan and the Yi family repaid the loan within six months, the interest would be 1.82 million yuan. If it took more than six months, the interest rate would increase by 30%, to 7.28%.
This interest rate is very reasonable, almost the same as the bank's loan interest rate. This fat man actually thinks it is a very high interest rate. It seems that he has never done business and has never been exposed to commercial loans and bank loans.
Xiang Yongkang said tentatively: "Boss Fang is not trying to cheat the Yi family, right? This interest rate doesn't seem like that of a businessman."
"Oh, I told you! I have to repay you!" Fang Kuai slurped his tea, not even understanding what he meant. "I just made some quick bucks gambling on stones. I want to learn how to invest, but I'm not uneducated, so I can only borrow money from others. This is the Yi family, and if I borrowed from others, it wouldn't be this amount."
Xiang Yongkang asked tentatively, "How much did others borrow?"
"At least this much!" Fang Kuai gestured, "At least... at least 6%!"
Hahaha! So he's just a local tycoon with no education! Xiang Yongkang didn't say much, but just discussed with Fang Kuai about lending money to the Yi family.
After the discussion was complete, Fang Kuai said, "Boss Xiang, this is all up to you. I heard that your daughter is very fierce. I dare not show up before she reconciles with the Yi family. I can only rely on you."
This was tantamount to flattering Xiang Yongkang, saying he had a lot of face. Xiang Yongkang hadn't been praised like that in a long time, and he felt flattered. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"Then it's up to you!" Fang Kuai patted his shoulders repeatedly.
This is also a straightforward person. Before the contract was signed, the money was transferred to Xiang Yongkang's personal account.
