Chapter 182 Pyramid Scheme



Hearing Shen Chengyi's question, Su Yuehua's smiling lips froze, her hands tightly grasped the seat belt, and she said perfunctorily: "The male teacher recruited by the remedial class today."

"Any decent man who flirts with a woman will be fired tomorrow." Shen Chengyi warned fiercely, his cold face full of inhumanity.

Su Yuehua didn't like Shen Chengyi's tone of voice. She was not his subordinate, so she sternly retorted, "You are too arbitrary. It's not serious to just pull hands. Yang Qiangguang did nothing wrong. How can I fire him? Tell him that my husband is jealous of you, so you can't stay in the cram school."

"It was just a hand-holding. Su Yuehua, is it so easy for a man and a woman to hold hands in front of you?" Shen Chengyi braked and the jeep stopped on the side of the road. He suddenly reacted and turned to look at Su Yuehua, "The one who held your hand just now was Yang Qiangguang. When did you two get in touch again?"

Su Yuehua was choked by his questioning tone, and turned to shout at her: "Chen Chengyi, who do you think I am? You are still in contact with me again. Are you hoping that there will be something between us?"

The two have been married for so many years, and although they have had quarrels before, this is the first time they have had such a big fight.

She really didn’t want to say a word to Shen Chengyi now, so she quickly unbuckled her seat belt, opened the car door and walked down.

"Su Yuehua, where are you going?" Shen Chengyi frowned, sighed, pulled out the car key, pushed open the door and got out, only to find that he was so angry that he forgot to unbuckle his seat belt.

Qiao Yinghong had just noticed that the air pressure in the car was not right. She had been sitting in the back seat the whole way and didn't dare to say a word. When she saw the couple quarreling, she wanted to stop them but she was tongue-tied and afraid of saying the wrong thing.

She opened the car door and followed Shen Chengyi to explain, "Captain, you misunderstood. Yuehua and Yang Qiangguang are not familiar with each other. It's not that they are not familiar with each other, but Yang Qiangguang just came to the cram school to apply for a job today. Teacher Ding can prove it."

"And Yang Qiangguang loves his wife very much. The hand-holding just now was purely a misunderstanding."

At this moment, Shen Chengyi was so angry that he didn't listen to her explanation at all. He caught up with Su Yuehua, stretched out his hand and grabbed her arm, and said with a sullen face: "Where are you going at this late hour?"

Su Yuehua panted and looked up at Shen Chengyi, “Shen Chengyi, I’m not feeling well today and I don’t want to quarrel with you. I’ll only tell you once, believe it or not.”

"Yang Qiangguang used to work at No. 3 Middle School. For some reason, he beat up the principal. After that, he was constantly bullied. He quit his job in a rage. The news of him beating up the principal had already spread among the circle. When he applied for a job, people rejected him as soon as they heard his name. Later, he heard from his classmates that I had set up a tutoring class, so he came to apply. Teacher Ding saw that he was a good lecturer and kept him."

After listening to her explanation, Shen Chengyi regretted his impulsiveness and lowered his posture and said, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll take you to the hospital."

“No need to go to the hospital. I finally found a chance to ask Yang Qiangguang about Yu Mingqian and Yu Minglei, but was interrupted by your sudden appearance.” After Su Yuehua finished speaking, she did not forget to glare at Shen Chengyi.

Shen Chengyi held Su Yuehua's hand and walked towards the jeep, saying, "Wife, it's your husband who is impulsive. Let's go home. Your mother must be getting anxious if you don't come home so late."

The next morning, Shen Chengyi drove Su Yuehua and Qiao Yinghong to the cram school. He happened to see Yang Qiangguang and took the initiative to roll down the window to greet him, "You are the new teacher in the cram school, right? My name is Shen Chengyi, Su Yuehua's husband."

As soon as Yang Qiangguang stepped into the gate, he heard someone calling him. He politely walked to the cab of the jeep and greeted Shen Chengyi who was sitting in the car: “Hello, Su Yuehua’s husband, my name is Yang Qiangguang. Yesterday was my first day to work in the cram school. I am very grateful to Su Yuehua for giving me this opportunity.”

Seeing that he was frank, Shen Chengyi didn't say what he had been thinking about all night last night. He politely replied, "Hello," and drove away.

Su Yuehua went to the cram school and sat for a while. Seeing that nothing was wrong, she planned to ask Qiao Yinghong to accompany her to the hospital for a check-up. Before they walked out of the cram school, they saw Sister Qiu Ju coming.

Sister Qiuju saw Su Yuehua carrying a bag and thought something happened to her.

"Yuehua, are you going out for something? I'll come back another day."

Su Yuehua took sister-in-law Qiuju's arm and walked into the office while saying, "I'm leaving because I have nothing to do in the cram school. Sister-in-law, let's go to my office and talk."

The two walked into the office, and Su Yuehua poured a glass of warm water for Sister Qiu Ju, "Sister-in-law, drink some water."

Sister Qiu Ju took the cup and drank most of it in one breath. "I came here from the army by car. My throat is almost thirsty."

"Yuehua, I hope I won't disturb your work by coming here."

"Don't bother me, sister-in-law. It's a rare occasion for you to come here, so please stay for lunch." Su Yuehua then sat on the single sofa next to sister-in-law Qiuju.

Sister Qiu Ju waved her hand and said, "No, I just came to ask you something. I have to go to the department store to buy some things later, and then I will go back there with the military procurement vehicle in the afternoon."

"What's the matter?" Su Yuehua asked casually.

"Yuehua, I thought you know a lot, so I want you to help me with some advice. A fellow villager of mine came to me and said there is a profitable business. If you invest one thousand yuan, you can earn ten thousand in three years. If you invest ten thousand yuan, you can earn one hundred thousand in three years. The more you invest, the more you can earn. If you can attract people to invest, you will be rewarded with two hundred yuan for every one thousand yuan invested by them." Sister Qiuju told Su Yuehua everything that had happened.

The more Su Yuehua listened, the more she felt something was wrong. What kind of business could grow tenfold in three years? Even if there really was such money, why would anyone bring you along? When she heard about recruiting people, she realized that this was the pyramid scheme that was common in later generations.

She immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and asked Sister Qiu Ju: "Sister-in-law, did you invest the money?"

Sister Qiu Ju hesitated for a while before saying, "I invested 5,000 yuan. I came here today to ask if you want to work with me. Don't tell my husband or Cheng Yi. If you tell Cheng Yi, he will definitely tell my husband."

"We women should be independent and strong, have our own careers, and when we make money, we should impress those stinky men at home and let them see what it means to be a new woman in the new era."

Su Yuehua has known Sister Qiuju for quite some time, and she would never believe that no one had taught Sister Qiuju to say such words.

She suddenly became serious, "Sister Qiuju, find someone to get the money back as soon as possible and say that there is something urgent at home and we need the money."

"What are you withdrawing? Yuehua, you don't know that the first round of fundraising at Sunshine Investment Company has ended and they are no longer accepting investors. My share of 5,000 yuan was obtained with the help of my fellow villagers."

"My fellow villager said that even if the company launches a second phase of products in the future, the returns will not be this high."
