"A...a crime?" Fu Jiang was stunned. His facial muscles twitched, and he said in a panic, "What kind of crime is this? I took my own money..."
Fu Nanxiao's eyes sharpened.
Fu Jiang realized he had misspoke. His face flushed red, and he grumbled defiantly, "It's not like you're the only one with the surname Fu. You can use three hundred million, so what if I use two million..."
Seeing Fu Nanxiao's face growing increasingly grim, Qi Yuheng quickly interrupted him: "Chairman Fu, the boss keeps his personal and business separate. He would never embezzle company project funds for personal use like you do. The 300 million he mentioned is his own assets."
Fu Jiang looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
Looking at Fu Nanxiao's gloomy face, he truly panicked.
During the year that Fu Nanxiao was bedridden, he had already taken the Fu family business for granted, and it was common for him to embezzle money from the accounts.
Having experienced the thrill of receiving money, he naturally assumed that Fu Nanxiao, who had controlled the Fu family for so long, must have done the same.
After Fu Nanxiao woke up, he restrained himself for a while, but recently he was short of money and couldn't resist...
"Nan...Nan Xiao." Fu Jiang was speechless, and could only force a fawning smile, his face dripping with cold sweat: "I'm short on cash lately, do you think two million could..."
Fu Nanxiao didn't even look at him, and said coldly, "Two weeks."
Two weeks isn't enough!
Fu Jiang was so anxious he almost jumped up.
But Qi Yuheng had already grabbed his arm and used both soft and hard tactics to lead him out the door: "Chairman Fu, you know our boss's temper. Giving you two weeks is already being very generous. You should hurry back and raise the money."
The door closed, and the tea room fell silent.
Jiang Yilai stole a glance at him.
She never expected that Fu Nanxiao would be so rude to his second uncle.
Fu Nanxiao suddenly turned his head and keenly caught her expression.
His expression turned slightly cold: "What, do you think I'm being too cold to him?"
Jiang Yilai quickly shook her head.
He showed up and helped her out of the predicament, and even said those things to save face for her. She wasn't that ungrateful.
I just muttered it to myself in secret.
Fu Nanxiao scoffed lightly: "If you knew what my good second uncle had been doing behind the scenes, you wouldn't sympathize with him. Why do you think he barged into my office today? A document on my desk could sell for at least six figures."
Jiang Yilai was startled.
Does this mean that Fu Jiang sold company secrets?
If it were leaked, Fu Nanxiao would likely be held responsible.
Moreover, since Fu Nanxiao said that, he must already have evidence.
So, the fact that he didn't hand Fu Jiang over to the police shows that he was showing consideration for family ties and was being lenient.
This is a family feud within the Fu family, and she doesn't feel comfortable commenting on it.
Jiang Yilai coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Thank you just now. I know you said that to help me out of an awkward situation. Don't worry, I won't take it seriously."
She was understanding and took the initiative to save face.
Although Fu Jiang's words were harsh, they weren't entirely without merit.
Three hundred million? She was well aware of her own limitations and wouldn't take Fu Nanxiao's words to heart.
But Fu Nanxiao frowned upon hearing this.
He frowned at Jiang Yilai's knowing look and said irritably, "Jiang Yilai, are you an idiot?"
Jiang Yilai was annoyed after being scolded by him again.
You can't trust what a drunkard says.
He promised last night that he wouldn't lose his temper with her anymore, but he really forgot.
She pursed her lips, but before she could retort, Fu Nanxiao snorted softly, "I never lie."
