Boss Shen took the money and ran away without a trace.
When Su Mingcheng learned the news, his whole world seemed to collapse in an instant. He never expected that it would end like this.
Unlike his other colleagues who invested, this time he was completely desperate.
"Lili is gone."
"The money is gone."
"My dignity as a man of the Su family...is completely gone!"
Su Mingcheng's face was pale, without any trace of blood.
He subconsciously took out his cell phone and prepared to dial the familiar number, but the moment he pressed the dial button with trembling hands, he suddenly remembered that his mother was no longer here.
Now he has no one around him to discuss with.
Lili was angry with herself.
I never talked to him again after that night.
Father Su Daqiang is a selfish ghost who only cares about himself.
Su Mingyu?
After this sister knew what he had done, she would probably just laugh at him as he deserved it.
"Brother..."
"Five million..."
Thinking of big brother.
Su Mingcheng held the phone tightly, the veins on his hands showing.
He later borrowed 300,000 from his elder brother in a hurry. After the quarrel with Zhu Li, Mingcheng only wanted to make a lot of money so that he could earn back the lost dignity.
But without Julie, he has completely lost his mind.
At this moment, Mingcheng only felt that he was the most failed man in the world.
It's over...
It's all over...
Mingcheng murmured to himself.
Half a million.
How should he explain to his elder brother who trusts him so much?
He originally owed a lot of money to his father, and now he owed his eldest brother so much money. How could he pay it back clearly?
Do you want Lili to pay back the money with you?
Endless regret surged into my heart.
The gamblers who got off the gambling table were thinking exactly the same thing.
Why should you step into the gambling house at the beginning?
Su Mingcheng felt that everything had gone wrong for him after his mother's death. He felt that he was trapped in a terrible nightmare at the moment. When he woke up the next day, he found that his family was still harmonious and beautiful.
After getting up early, Julie would wake him up like a baby.
My kind and gentle mother still lives in the old house, and she still goes out to play cards with a smile every day.
Big brother is still in the United States...
Father Su Daqiang is not a wild old boy yet...
Unfortunately, there is no dream.
This is reality!
Where in this world can there be a clock with the opposite direction?
The extremely cold reality deeply stimulated Su Mingcheng's nerves.
"Ah~~~!"
Mingcheng in the factory squatted down with his head in his hands, and his angry roar attracted the attention of other investment losers. Everyone did not expect Mingcheng's reaction to be so big, and they all shook their heads and sighed.
Everyone looked at Manager Zhou in front of them with hidden complaints in their eyes.
When people fail, they will subconsciously avoid responsibility for the first time.
Manager Zhou is undoubtedly the best person to shirk responsibility for.
It's just that no one really said it out loud or broke up.
Except Su Mingcheng.
Mingcheng, with red eyes, raised his head and found the familiar figure. This time there was no flattering smile on his face. After getting up, he went straight to Manager Zhou: "Money, pay me back!"
His voice was hoarse and he growled low.
Manager Zhou suffered even greater losses, and the impatience on his face was clearly visible.
It's just that she didn't expect that someone below would dare to come to her and say such things at this time, and it was Su Mingcheng whom she had always been very optimistic about in the office. Manager Zhou frowned and looked at Mingcheng: "Su Mingcheng, you
What's the meaning? "
"I'm a victim too! I invested 1.5 million!"
She turned around and looked at the expressions of the people around her, and said in a sharp voice, "You all think I am an accomplice, right?"
"We are all in the same department. I will always remember you if anything good happens, but if something good happens you can't all blame me. Now if there is something wrong with the investment, just throw all the blame on me, right?"
Su Mingcheng stepped forward to stop Manager Zhou who was about to leave, and the two of them had a falling out in public.
"You can't leave!"
"You pay me back!"
Over the next few days, the conflict between the two of them in the company gradually intensified.
Now Mingcheng is completely barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
In the company, he expressed in public that he suspected that Manager Zhou and Boss Shen were collaborating to commit fraud.
But facts have proven that it is a piece of cake for those with higher levels to deal with those with lower levels.
Manager Zhou used her skillful tactics to quickly calm down Mingcheng, who was jumping around Zhenghuan, and Mingcheng found that colleagues who had also been defrauded in their investments began to avoid her.
Although they also have a lot of complaints against Manager Zhou, the adult world is still about interests.
From now on, when meeting Manager Zhou in the department, you will have to lower your head without looking up. Only Mingcheng rushes to confront Manager Zhou, and he doesn't seem to have a good way to deal with Manager Zhou.
Until he was notified of his dismissal by the company.
Mingcheng faced other people's tricks and was quickly beaten to the point of being confused.
When he left the company with the carton in his arms, he happened to meet Manager Zhou in the elevator. The latter looked at Mingcheng beside him happily and shook his head disdainfully.
Fight with me?
Do you deserve it?
...
Facing the cruel blow of reality, Su Mingcheng instantly became decadent. The bright-eyed and smiling man in the past became unshaven overnight, and the fair skin on his face turned into a bumpy moon surface.
Games, alcohol, American blockbusters...
He wanted to completely numb his nerves.
The deeper he went, the clearer his thoughts became.
"Lili..."
"My Lili..."
Mingcheng, whose mind was filled with the image of his wife, secretly drove his car to the community where his father-in-law and mother-in-law lived one night.
He deliberately parked the car far away and hid at the gate of the community when his wife got off work.
Ten minutes later, Julie appeared in front of Mingcheng, wearing black overalls and high heels. His wife looked like a confident woman. Julie raised her head high, proud and confident.
Su Mingcheng looked at his wife's leaving figure, and then looked down at himself, who looked like a homeless man.
He smiled to himself.
Without her own Lili, life would have been so bright.
For the first time, Su Mingcheng felt that he was such a failure. He was defrauded in his investment, frustrated at work, and did not dare to meet his wife. He even did not dare to think about his elder brother.
Mingcheng suddenly remembered what Su Mingyu had laughed at him before.
"Su Mingcheng."
"You are just an unweaned child."
Mingcheng clenched his fists and left.
He didn't believe that this so-called reality could defeat him.
The next day, Mingcheng, who had cleaned himself up, went out with his bag on his back. In the bag was his resume. Su Mingcheng believed that his ability was enough to find a good job. He was extremely interested in foreign trade work. familiar.
In a few days, he interviewed several companies one after another, and he felt that he performed very well.
Others in the company also expressed that they were very satisfied with themselves.
But what surprised him was that he had not yet received any information about passing the interview.
Su Mingcheng figured out every trick in it.
I only found out after I took the trouble to find out.
It was Manager Zhou who was behind the scenes. She used her contacts over the years to spread the word in many foreign trade companies in Suzhou that Su Mingcheng would never find the job he wanted in this city.
"Zhou, you are the one behind this, right?"
Su Mingcheng cursed very unpleasantly on the phone.
"Xiao Su, Lao Ye at the door of our company just resigned."
"If you have nothing to do now, you can come to our company as a security guard."
Feeling Su Mingcheng's helplessness and anger, Manager Zhou hung up the phone and shook his head with a smile.
A little guy like Su Mingcheng still wants to fight her?
Over the years, Manager Zhou knew the situation of Mingcheng's family very well. She had no connections at all in Suzhou, so she was very ruthless and decisive when she started.
...
Su Mingcheng carried several bottles of liquor to his mother's cemetery.
In the cold weather, Mingcheng once again sat in front of his mother's grave. There was no sound of sparrows around him, and it was as quiet as death.
On the tombstone, the black and white photo of Zhao Meilan looked a little dusty. Mingcheng squatted in front and carefully wiped the dust off the photo with his hands.
Looking at his mother's appearance in the photo, Mingcheng had a smile on his face, but his expression was painful.
*** Life seems to peel off the skin on Mingcheng's body layer by layer. He has gone from being slightly fat when his mother was buried in this cemetery at the beginning of the year to being pale and thin now.
In less than a year, I changed from an old young man to a new middle-aged man.
He was like a frog in warm water, still thinking about how to jump out of the increasingly dangerous pot of hot water. However, his actions were limited by his physical strength and the external environment. He clearly saw that he was more than capable. Inadequacy, despair and depression increasingly occupied his sunny mind.
Finally, his inner emotions couldn't be restrained, and Mingcheng held the monument and cried bitterly.
"what happened?"
"Are you crying quite sadly?"
A familiar voice made Mingcheng suddenly turn his head, and his eyes covered with tears looked at the man in front of him. Mingcheng knew who was talking to him at this time, and his voice was hoarse: "Big...brother?"
Lu Ze appeared in front of Mingcheng.
The latter remembered what had happened to him during this period, and stepped forward to hug the elder brother in front of him tightly.
"Brother...I'm sorry."
"I lost all your money, and I broke up my family. Lili ignored me."
"Yes...Su Mingyu is right, I am a waste."
"When something happens to me, I will just hide behind my mother. Just like now, I can only come to my mother's graveyard and cry in vain."
Su Mingcheng cried extremely sadly.
The appearance of the eldest brother was like the light of a star burning in the endless darkness. He felt a strong warmth in this biting cold winter. At the same time, there was an unspeakable look of guilt on his face. He lost all his money. Go in.
"No."
"The money has come back."
Lu Ze's words made Su Mingcheng, who was in the midst of sadness, momentarily stunned.
He quickly wiped the tears on his face and asked quickly: "Back?"
"yes."
"I just found out about this and came to your place specially."
"Boss Shen was caught not long after he ran away. All the money in the bank has been frozen. The police should notify you victims soon."
In fact, Boss Shen was caught directly by someone specially hired by Lu Ze.
Boss Shen was still very confused at the time. How could this foolproof plan be seen through so quickly?
I haven't run away yet, but my hometown has been taken away?
Hearing this, Mingcheng slowly lowered his head: "Brother...do you already know everything?"
Lu Ze smiled and nodded: "Is it about investment? If you borrow so much money from me, I will definitely keep an eye on it."
as expected.
Soon after, Mingcheng received a call from the police station.
"Mr. Su, the money you were defrauded has now been recovered by us."
"If you have time in the past two days, come to the police station and go through the relevant procedures. You should be able to get your money back soon."
Su Mingcheng hung up the phone with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Brother..."
"You actually knew the specific situation earlier than the police?"
Lu Ze had no explanation.
He couldn't say I knew it before you jumped into the pit, right?
"Let's go."
"Let's go have a meal together in the evening and wash our feet."
Su Mingcheng looked strange when he heard his elder brother's words.
"Brother."
"Both mom and Lili won't let me go to such inappropriate places."
Lu Ze glanced at him: "I went to a serious foot-washing place. What are you thinking about?"
"Let's go quickly."
"I will pay for all the expenses tonight."
...
Over the course of one night, Lu Ze briefly talked to Mingcheng about the mistakes he had made in this matter.
Is investing wrong?
There is nothing wrong with nature.
Mingcheng really wants to do his part for the family.
But he made a mistake in the way he chose at this time. He completely regarded himself as a desperate gambler. He followed the trend and placed bets without understanding the specific situation, which ultimately led to him losing his pants.
Su Mingcheng has deeply reflected on his mistakes during this time.
After hearing what his elder brother said, he breathed out heavily.
The expression on his face became determined.
...
The next morning, Lu Ze drove to Zhu Li's house with his co-pilot Mingcheng.
Although today is Saturday, Zhu Li still needs to work overtime at the office. However, Lu Ze's call in advance made Zhu Li take a leave from the company. She was well aware of her eldest brother's intention.
Lu Ze was only responsible for sending Mingcheng in. It was up to him to discuss the details.
Everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions.
Even without this investment, the couple would still have similar situations in the future, so Lu Ze did not choose to stop Mingcheng from investing at the beginning. It was better to detect the problem early.
After entering, he brought some gifts to Zhu Li's parents, and Lu Ze planned to leave soon.
"Brother, won't you sit still anymore?"
"No, I have a few companies I want to visit later."
Lu Ze patted Mingcheng on the shoulder, briefly greeted Zhu Li and her parents, and left quickly.
Lu Ze made a phone call after coming out.
Soon a brand-new black Mercedes-Benz came to the gate of the community. The driver, dressed in a formal suit and tie, respectfully opened the door for Lu Ze. When Lu Ze got in the car, his temperament changed instantly, and he had the aura of a superior person.
"Chenyao Foreign Trade."
"Yes, Mr. Su."
...
"Mr. Chen, you hurriedly asked me to come to the company today, Saturday."
"There must be something going on, right?"
Manager Zhou followed his boss, Mr. Chen, and carefully asked him about the situation.
Mr. Chen was standing at the door of the company, with a group of receptionists behind him. The man's fleshy face showed excitement visible to the naked eye.
"Xiao Zhou, it must be a big deal!"
"I got up early and received a call from the big boss. The big boss personally told me that I must give this big shot a good reception. If we can really dig something out from between his teeth, then our company will have no worries after the new year. Let’s eat and drink!”
Manager Zhou's eyes lit up.
Good things happen one after another.
She just received a call yesterday saying that the 1.5 million yuan had been recovered.
There is such a big battle here in the company today. I am interested in it.
There was a big business to discuss, and she, the leader of the business department, was naturally very excited. She didn't expect that God would favor her so much.
good.
really not bad!
"Mr. Chen, what's the name of this big shot?"
"Su...Su Mingzhe!"
Su Mingzhe?
Manager Zhou frowned slightly, feeling like he had heard this name before.
Not long after, Lu Ze entered the company surrounded by Chen Yao and everyone. He stood at the door for a while, with the image of Mingcheng being kicked out not long ago in his mind, and he entered the company with the corner of his mouth raised.
Naturally, Mingcheng didn't mention to Lu Ze last night that he was banned by Manager Zhou in the industry.
On the one hand, he felt a little embarrassed, but on the other hand, he didn't want his eldest brother to get involved in these things anymore.
Lu Ze knew the specific direction of the incident.
It can be said that Mingcheng was kicked out of the company entirely as a result of his own doing.
Under such circumstances, Lu Ze would only be happy to see Mingcheng suffer this loss.
But Manager Zhou’s subsequent approach of killing everyone seemed to have crossed that line.
Can't survive in this city?
...
"Hello, Mr. Su, this is Zhou Shufen, the general manager of our Chenyao Business Department."
In the conference room, after being introduced by Mr. Chen, Manager Zhou had a flattering smile on his face and respectfully extended his hand to Lu Ze: "Hello, Mr. Su, I have long admired you."
Lu Ze didn't shake hands, just smiled and shook his head.
"No, Manager Zhou, it should be because I have admired your name for a long time."
The smile on Manager Zhou's face suddenly froze.
Mr. Chen next to him also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere at this time, and said quickly: "Mr. Su, you are joking. How can Shufen know you? Our Chenyao is not even a little witch in front of Oracle, and you He is still the person in charge of your company in Greater China."
For some reason, Manager Zhou felt a slight chill on his back, as if something bad was about to happen.
"My brother used to work under this manager Zhou. His name is Su Mingcheng. Do you still remember him?"
In an instant, Manager Zhou knew what went wrong.
Su Mingzhe, Su Mingcheng.
These are two brothers!
But Manager Zhou was puzzled. He never thought that the big shot in front of him was a brother of that good-for-nothing Mingcheng. Mingcheng, that bastard, went crazy for that little money.
Your brother has become like this, why are you acting like that?
It's not that she didn't think about the possibility of brothers when she first started, but after meeting Mr. Su himself, she quickly erased this weird idea from her mind. The two people were completely different.
But now, this weird idea has really become a reality!
At this time, Mr. Chen also remembered the guy who came to make trouble in his office before.
He kept saying that Manager Zhou teamed up with others to defraud the company's employees of their money. He even specifically questioned Manager Zhou about this matter. After the latter quickly settled the people below, he began to open up the relationship with Mr. Chen.
Naturally, things can be big or small.
But after you have the benefits at hand, this is naturally a trivial matter.
As for the employee causing trouble?
There is no background.
Just get lost!
"Mr. Chen, why don't you take everyone out for a while first?"
"I want to have a brief chat with you, Manager Zhou, first. Regarding business matters, just talk to the people in the team below me."
In this way, Lu Ze and Manager Zhou were in the same room.
"Mr. Su, are you doing this for your brother's sake?"
"Su Mingcheng's matter has nothing to do with me. He insists on causing trouble in the company, which makes it impossible for everyone to work properly. If it's his matter, then I really have nothing to say."
Manager Zhou's mouth still looks very hard.
She is concerned about that
Su Mingcheng's heart was full of disgust. This guy actually wanted to throw water on her. I don't know who has been hiding him in the company all these years. He should get out of the company.
Lu Ze smiled and shook his head.
"Manager Zhou, it's meaningless for you to say this."
"You know, what I want to talk about is not Su Mingcheng's dismissal from your company."
Manager Zhou started to pretend to be stupid and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, I really don't understand what you mean."
Lu Ze found it boring. He slowly stood up and said, "Then let's not talk about it. I'll go talk to your Mr. Chen."
Manager Zhou stared at Lu Ze, squinted his eyes, and suddenly said, "Are you threatening me?"
After getting up, Lu Ze finally couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter when he heard these words.
Manager Zhou looked at the man in front of her who didn't take her seriously. Her face turned blue and white. At this time, she felt that her words just now were so ridiculous, just like when she heard Su Mingcheng threaten her. Same.
The two people are completely different levels of characters.
There is still a gap of 10,000 Su Mingcheng between her and her brother Su Mingcheng.
But now that she was not treated as a human being, her heart was filled with frustration and anger.
She, Zhou Shufang, is also a knowledgeable and skillful woman in Suzhou. Otherwise, she would not have been able to say hello to other companies so quickly. She did not simply talk about Mingcheng not being able to find a matching job in this city.
But now, she can only bury her frustration in her heart.
After so many years of working, Zhou Shufang felt that for the first time she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
In the conference room, Lu Ze's laughter quickly stopped.
He looked at Manager Zhou with a dull expression.
"Are you worthy of my threat?"
After saying these words, he turned and left.
He had no intention of continuing the conversation with Manager Zhou. People like her were very powerful in Mingcheng's eyes. They usually had to go to the office with a smile to flatter her.
But in Lu Ze's opinion, he can tell what kind of person she is after a few simple conversations.
opponent?
Is such a person worthy of being his opponent?
Manager Zhou was the only one left in the conference room, stunned, and the woman began to feel unstoppable panic. She quickly thought about how Mr. Su might deal with her, but she couldn't find any clue at all.
because...
She is not worthy of being his opponent at all!
The woman clenched her hands, and her eyes filled with resentment.
Not to Lu Ze.
But to Mingcheng!
"Oh shit!"
"***Mother's Su Mingcheng!"
"You have a brother like this, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with me?"
