Chapter 40
"Dad, what happened? Why was Ping An taken away?"
Xie Qiping watched as Xie Yuanzhi returned home with a look of disbelief on his face. He sighed deeply, and the momentum he had just maintained in front of those law enforcement officers now faded.
Xie Qiping wiped his face and said.
"Ping An was involved in a case of leaking state secrets."
"National secrets leaked? Ping An has only been back home for four months. It is impossible for him to receive information of this level. What is going on?"
Xie Yuanzhi said in disbelief.
Xie Yuanzhi's expression was exactly the same as Xie Qiping's just now. He couldn't believe that his biological son, who had just returned less than half a year ago, could do such an earth-shattering thing.
Jiang Ping'an's son usually has a low presence at home, but he is very famous among those playboy study classes outside.
Those dandies all respectfully called this son the "stock god". When Xie Qiping heard about this, he thought it was just a way for young people to flatter each other, and it was possible that it was used to humiliate Jiang Ping'an.
Even though he knew that Jiang Ping'an really made money by speculating in stocks, Xie Qiping still didn't take it seriously. Even though Xie Yuanzhi told him that Jiang Ping'an was involved in the previous A-share crash, Xie Qiping still only wanted Jiang Ping'an to be a consultant in the group.
Who would have thought that Ping An would quietly get involved in such a big thing? Even if it was a coincidence, for people at their level, the thing their superiors least believed was that coincidences would happen to them.
Thinking of this, Xie Qiping was even more grateful that he did not participate in Jiang Ping'an's behavior in the first place. He only provided some funds, but those funds were completely pocket money, and Xie Yuanzhi also had some, so those investigators let him go. Otherwise, it might be Jiang Ping'an and him who would be handcuffed today.
"…So it's still because of that stock market incident? But Ping An said there were signs in the news before that?"
Xie Qiping looked at his son, still somewhat incredulous, and shook his head.
"If he really stole state secrets, he certainly wouldn't tell you the truth. But now is not the time to talk about this. We still have to find someone to ask what happened this time. If state secrets were leaked, Jiang Pingan would definitely not be the only one who made money this time."
As Xie Qiping spoke, Xie Yuanzhi nodded and immediately helped Xie Qiping make the call.
The father and son stood far away from each other and neither could hear what the other was saying.
Xie Qiping didn't bother to notice whether his son was actually on the phone or not. The more he understood the situation, the more frightened he became.
The money that Jiang Ping'an earned this time was completely snatched from the country, and the worst thing is that Jiang Ping'an got all the money alone this time.
In the entire market, the only one who made money was the country. Ordinary retail investors did make some money, but they bought them back afterwards, which is in line with the thinking of normal people. However, Jiang Pingan's behavioral logic was completely based on this sharp drop in A-shares.
The more calls he made, the more Xie Qiping felt that Jiang Ping'an's actions were so obvious that if the country didn't investigate Jiang Ping'an, he began to doubt whether those people in the country were fools.
Finally, the last call was made and the sky gradually darkened to dusk. Before the father and son could communicate, the servant's voice was heard as a result of the call.
"My wife is back."
The father and son looked up and saw that Yu Caiwei, who had gone to the beauty salon with the other ladies for beauty treatments, had finally returned.
"What's wrong? Both of them have droopy faces like this, what happened?"
Yu Caiwei raised her eyebrows and looked at her husband and son with heavy faces. She didn't understand what had happened. But when Xie Qiping explained the whole thing to Yu Caiwei with a heavy face, Yu Caiwei immediately made a sound of disbelief.
"Jiang Ping'an made tens of millions of dollars from stock trading in the previous month. Why are you telling me now that something has happened?"
*
Yu Caiwei sat on the sofa, rubbed her brows and said as she looked at the father and son in front of her who had an expression of admitting their mistakes.
"So what's the situation now? If nothing works, I'll go ask Old Wu and see if her husband can find out."
Yu Caiwei's diplomacy as a lady is also not to be underestimated. At least she has the most complete intelligence network among all the rich ladies in the entire capital.
"I just called Old Wu. He said that the higher-ups are taking this matter very seriously and the situation is a bit dangerous."
Xie Qiping said with a frown.
Yu Caiwei's expression now became serious.
"Will it affect my family?"
This is what Yu Caiwei cares about most. As long as the Xie family does not fall, even if Jiang Pingan is really imprisoned and comes out, the Xie family will always give him a dividend.
"It doesn't look like that at the moment."
Xie Qiping shook his head, his brows still furrowed.
Yu Caiwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as my family is not implicated, I will find out what the higher-ups think of Ping An later. As long as my family is fine, will Ping An be wronged in the future?"
When Xie Qiping heard Yu Caiwei's cold-blooded words, he suddenly felt resentful for being interrogated and humiliated in public by a few young people today, and he spoke in a slightly heavy tone.
"It's just that it won't affect your family right now, but who knows what will happen in the future. Besides, Ping An is your biological child. Why do you look so relieved now?"
Yu Caiwei was stunned by Xie Qiping's question for a moment. When she came to her senses, she widened her eyes and said in disbelief.
"Old Xie, what are you talking about? Ping An was the one who speculated in stocks! The higher-ups started to suspect him because of this incident. If Ping An really didn't steal state secrets, then the state would definitely let him go. In this matter, the state would definitely give our Xie family a fair go."
"Then why do you look so relieved? Up to now you haven't even been nervous for a moment, and you haven't even asked about the child."
Xie Qiping's tone was calm, but his words were not so pleasant.
Yu Caiwei also realized that Xie Qiping was just looking for trouble. She narrowed her eyes and said, "You want to say that I have no feelings for the children? Check your conscience, Xie Qiping! You have been in the company every day during this period, and I have been taking care of the two children by myself. Jiang Pingan himself doesn't like to talk, and I respect him. This child is introverted by nature. I have done him no harm in other aspects!"
"And you still have the nerve to mention how I treated the child. Look at how you treated Yuanzhi! Yuanzhi just came back from the court today, and you didn't say a word to the child. You didn't even have time to see what clothes Yuanzhi was wearing. He hasn't changed his clothes since he got home. How dare you say that to me?"
Yu Caiwei became more and more angry as she spoke. She stood up and said, "I am also worried about Ping An, but this matter is obviously Ping An's own problem. It's not like Yuan Zhi. The other party is just an ordinary wealthy family. Our family can suppress it. The country came to our door. Don't tell me that you still want to suppress the country's ideas?!"
Xie Qiping was also angered by Yu Caiwei's words. Although Jiang Ping'an did it, Jiang Ping'an was his son after all. Being taken away in public like this and even photographed by reporters, wasn't it still a disgrace to the Xie family?
But he didn't want to quarrel with Yu Caiwei, so he sat on the sofa angrily.
At this time, a clear voice sounded.
"Mom, please sit down first. I'm fine for now. My matter has come to an end. It's the other party's problem. Please don't quarrel with Dad first."
Yu Caiwei turned around and saw Xie Yuanzhi looking at her with concern. Her anger immediately subsided by three points and she sat down.
"Dad, Mom is worried about Ping An, but it's not like there's no news for the time being. Mom also doesn't want you to worry and hurt your health."
Xie Yuanzhi really lived up to his reputation as a bartender. He spoke nicely and Xie Qiping's anger subsided a little.
After coaxing both his parents into submission, Xie Qiping was the first to send out a signal of reconciliation.
"Eat first."
*
At the dinner table, Yu Caiwei was obviously still a little angry, and she snorted from time to time when she looked at Xie Qiping.
Xie Qiping also knew that he shouldn't vent his emotions to his wife, so he just ate his food obediently.
Yu Caiwei was angry for a long time before she realized that her Yuanzhi was still wearing his morning clothes. Then she remembered the situation in the court.
"Mom watched the court hearing in the live broadcast room. The result should be that the other party will withdraw the case or lose the case, right?"
Xie Yuanzhi nodded and said, "The whole thing has come to an end. Dad has worked hard to maintain the company's stock price in the past three months."
Xie Qiping felt refreshed by these words. Yes, he was indeed working hard, and it was good that he was working!
Seeing Yu Caiwei pouting uncomfortably, Xie Qiping finally regained his loving gaze, like a lion whose fur had been stroked, and looked at Xie Yuanzhi.
Yu Caiwei just couldn't stand Xie Qiping's look, and said directly: "How can this matter come to an end? I will go to your aunt later. You want to leave after slandering our baby Yuanzhi? There is no such a cheap thing in this world!"
Xie Yuanzhi curled his eyes and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll go tomorrow."
Yu Caiwei also became interested and started planning to help Xie Yuanzhi clear his name at the dinner table.
No, it cannot be said to be whitewashing, it is just helping Xie Yuanzhi restore his previous reputation.
"...I will contact the reporters later and book an interview for you tomorrow to restore your reputation. Then I will know that you are innocent, Yuanzhi."
Yu Caiwei was still speaking with some pride, totally ignoring how she had managed to get Xie Yuanzhi to suppress the matter three months ago.
Xie Qiping also nodded and said, "It's a good opportunity to cover up Ping An's matter."
Yu Caiwei became angry when she heard what Xie Qiping said.
"It's safe, safe, safe again. Yuan Zhi has just proved his innocence. As a father, can't you wait a little longer before speaking? Is everything safe?"
Seeing that Xie Qiping was about to retort again, Xie Yuanzhi quickly stopped Xie Qiping and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Ping An's incident also affects the group's stock price. It's normal for the stock price to be saved if there is positive news tomorrow."
Yu Caiwei calmed down for the sake of her precious son and said, "Our Yuanzhi is still sensible."
The love in Yu Caiwei's eyes was about to overflow.
"I can also take this opportunity to call and ask how Ping An's issue was resolved."
Xie Qiping sighed and said.
Then he saw Xie Yuanzhi pondering for a while and said, "I'll ask someone tomorrow."
Xie Qiping nodded, but he didn't hold out much hope. How could Xie Yuanzhi have connections for something he couldn't even get by calling?
the next day.
Xie Qiping was stunned when he looked at the information on the table and the cause and effect of the whole incident.
Xie Yuanzhi was still explaining, "I called the mayor of City M yesterday, and he explained the situation to me as best as he could. Ping An should be the focus of a newly established department of the country. There is nothing wrong with A shares, and the country doesn't care about these tens of millions, but..."
"The country is very concerned about how Ping An got the information."
*
"How on earth did this department notice Ping An?"
Xie Qiping flipped through the information in disbelief, then spoke a little slowly.
"It seems like Ping An did something else? He happened to be involved with that mysterious department, so that made that department pay attention to Ping An? But because the case is still under investigation, they don't know what Ping An did yet."
Xie Yuanzhi also shook his head with some regret, but for Xie Qiping, the information provided by Xie Yuanzhi was far beyond his imagination.
He didn't even know that the country had set up a mysterious department.
However, it may also be because the so-called powerful people he contacted were approaching retirement age, and that mysterious department obviously had nothing to do with these old guys.
but……
Xie Qiping looked at the information in front of him and then at the youthful Xie Yuanzhi. Facing his son's puzzled gaze, Xie Qiping shook his head to indicate that it was okay, but he suddenly felt a feeling of both sourness and relief in his heart.
While Xie Qiping was feeling the emotions, he watched Xie Yuanzhi greet him and then get up to go out for the interview.
Xie Qiping couldn't tell his own emotions for the time being, but there was someone, or a system, who could tell them apart.
[From the host's micro-expression, Xie Qiping is a little jealous of you, but strangely, he also feels a little relieved. Human emotions are really complicated.]
777 said in Gu Youxing’s mind.
[The old wolf king sensed the threat from the new wolf king, but he had trained the new wolf king himself, so it was normal for him to be jealous, but he was also relieved.]
Gu Youxing responded in his mind.
[If he was an only child, he would probably be more relieved. Unfortunately, there is still Xie Pingyuan over there, a son who is an adult with talent and still needs his training...]
Gu Youxing got into the car, tidied himself up, and nodded to the driver with a smile before continuing.
[I am afraid that the latter will occupy a stronger proportion in the father's heart. The former does not need to be taken care of at all, while the latter still needs his care. His heart will unconsciously lean towards the weaker party. If he is not clear-headed, he may even deprive the former of his resources and give them to the latter.]
Gu Youxing had heard these gossips more than once when he was on missions in other bases. Even if it was the end of the world, it was very common for parents to want their children who were doing well to help their children who were doing poorly.
It even got worse because of the doomsday. After all, if things didn't go well, the child might really die.
Many families have fallen apart because of this incident.
[I see, it's just like the relationship between Emperor Yuanxing and the Crown Prince.]
777 said with sudden enlightenment.
[But the relationship between you and the Xie family should not be like that between an emperor and a prince, or even between a new wolf king and an old wolf king.]
Gu Youxing raised his eyebrows and became interested in what 777 said next.
[The relationship between the host and the Xie family should be more like an alien or a disaster from heaven. Host, you are the disaster! ]
777 said happily that this was the first time he had analyzed something entirely based on his own intelligence.
He totally failed to notice the helpless expression on his host's face.
[…This is a very good analysis. I’d better not analyze it next time.]
*
The interview went quite smoothly. After all, someone had greeted him, and Xie Yuanzhi himself had a very likable appearance. The reporter ended the interview quite happily.
After this interview was released, it sparked a wave of discussion online.
In the comment section of the interview, many people were repenting for their previous behavior, but more people were still discussing what Xie Yuanzhi said in the interview.
"He is truly a sociology genius. His teacher is also a master in the academic world and is kind-hearted. After my sister's school accepted the social experiment of school violence, no one wanted to be a little gangster anymore."
A netizen said with a sigh, and someone responded to him below.
"Yes, this guy is really kind-hearted. He is a wealthy man but he is willing to lower himself to do this social experiment with the children. I know he must have other purposes, but he spent the money honestly, and it didn't cause any harm to the children."
Others agreed, and some even sighed.
"It's a pity that after finishing this experiment, he doesn't plan to continue investing in campus education. I think we all know who did it. If it weren't for that Madam Sun, I'm afraid this experiment would continue."
When it comes to this, everyone is excited. Who doesn't have children who go to school? Going to school is afraid of encountering school violence, and Xie Yuanzhi's behavior has benefited all children.
"I guess it's really related to Madam Sun. When the reporter was asking questions, he also asked Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie was silent for a long time before he said that he was just going to focus on his career. It seemed to be some warehousing company. It was all professional terms. I didn't understand it. But if it had nothing to do with Madam Sun, Mr. Xie would definitely not have remained silent for so long."
Because of Xie Yuanzhi's behavior, several netizens who had become his fans immediately reunited.
"That's right. If Madam Sun hadn't caused this incident, Mr. Xie would definitely have continued to invest in campus and education, instead of leaving Madam Sun and her mistress like he did now. It's true that people are like one family."
After seeing this comment, someone kindly reminded me.
"Don't forget about Mr. Sun, the scumbag. The three of them should really live well and stop harming others. Respect and bless them and lock them up."
"Before you go back, remember to compensate Mr. Xie for his reputation loss, but the reputation fee for the prince of Ganxing Group is more expensive than that of ordinary people, and there is also the reputation compensation for Mr. Xie's mentor."
For a moment, the comment section became a sea of various fan circle comments, but fortunately there were still normal people who pulled the comments back.
"... Stop using those fan circle tones. You think Xie Yuanzhi left and stopped investing in the education industry because he was hit by Madam Sun. In fact, he left because he wanted to go back and inherit the family business! That storage system was actually the first shot of Ganxing Group's entry into City M."
This man, who obviously knew something about business relations, continued typing his comment.
"M City is a newly added special economic zone, and Ganxing Group will definitely not let go of this sweet potato, as can be seen from Xie Yuanzhi's previous bid for the land in M City. And a warehousing company is definitely a sure win for the port. Even if the warehousing company and Ganxing Group are two companies on the surface, isn't it just a matter of transferring money from one pocket to the other when family members pay each other?"
This person continued.
"With the storage costs reduced, all the price costs of Ganxing Group will definitely be lower than those of other companies, so the sales price will also be lower than other companies. Just for this reason, Ganxing Group will occupy the market faster than others. Time is money in the business world."
Others also said this under the comment.
"Finally I saw some normal comments. They treated the prince of Ganxing Group as a weak and helpless little white flower. I don't know who started it first. He started interning at Ganxing Group when he was 16 years old, and his department is the sales champion every year."
Another person echoed this and also raised another point.
"That's right, but opening a storage company is one of the reasons. Another reason should be to provide backup support for his junior brother's company. When I started my business, why didn't I have such a senior brother to help me? When my senior brother opened a storage company, the price would drop so fast."
"Who wouldn't be envious? That guy opened a shopping platform. Although shopping platforms have been a big scam in recent years, he has his own senior brother as a backer. He can save a lot of money just on shipping and storage. By then, he can advertise more than other channels."
"I can't even imagine how much Mr. Xie would spoil his younger brother if he had one."
Some entrepreneurs began to gather under this comment, and both men and women began to envy Xie Yuanzhi's junior.
"Oh God, please give me a brother like Mr. Xie!"
This comment immediately received hundreds of likes.
But those who really have a brother like Xie Yuanzhi are not grateful to God.
After Xie Pingyuan had lived in the Environmental Observation Bureau for two or three days, his superiors still hadn't figured out how he had learned the secrets, and ultimately could only conclude that it was a coincidence. However, they still told him that he would be under constant surveillance and would not be removed until a year had passed when there were no problems.
Xie Pingyuan was dazed when he was arrested, and even more dazed when he was released. It was not until he was picked up by the Xie family's driver and taken back to his doorstep that he came to his senses.
However, as soon as Xie Pingyuan got off the car, he was startled by the sudden sound of salutes from both sides.
"Welcome home safely!"
Xie Pingyuan looked up and found that it was Xie Yuanzhi and the butler beside him who were firing salutes at him, and a group of servants were smiling happily at him.
"Hurry up and take a bath with pomelo leaves to get rid of the bad luck. I've asked the housekeeper to prepare everything. And this matter is nothing. You can continue to do what you need to do in the future. Don't worry, your family will help you out..."
Listening to Xie Yuanzhi chattering in his ear, anyone else would have been filled with tears of gratitude.
——But unfortunately, the person who heard these words was Xie Pingyuan, who regarded Xie Yuanzhi as his lifelong enemy.
"I'm going to go back and take a shower first."
Before Xie Yuanzhi could finish his words, Xie Pingyuan rushed back to his room with a red face and a thick neck, as if there was a ghost chasing him.
Only Xie Yuanzhi was left standing there in a daze, looking extremely lonely.
It caused others to feel distressed.
——Including Yu Caiwei who watched the whole process.
