early morning.
Zhong Xiaoqin stretched out, looked at Yun Tianqing on the other side of the slanted window, smiled slightly, and buried her face in the quilt, greedily smelling the sunshine.
Wow~
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Wang Manni walked out of the bathroom after washing. Seeing that she was still lying on the bed, she walked over and took off the quilt.
"The sun's up to my butt."
Zhong Xiaoqin said coquettishly: "Let me sleep a little longer. I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time."
Wang Manni sat down against the bed: "Do you plan to stay idle like this forever? After going through so many things, I can see clearly that this woman still has to have a career of her own."
"Oh, didn't I tell you last night?"
"Are you really going to write it?"
"Yes, I want to write a sweet pet novel that is so sweet, sell it well, publish it, adapt it, and reach the top of my life."
"It's already dawn, are you still dreaming?"
Zhong Xiaoqin pouted and got up from the bed: "Why are you so annoying?"
"Miss your little puppy?" Wang Manni smiled and pulled her up from the bed: "Stop staying at home and watching TV dramas. Come with me for a walk. If you keep holding in like this, you will become useless."
Twenty minutes later.
Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni came to the three-way intersection outside the community. There was no one behind the scallion pancake stall. There were freshly fried pancakes in the food box in front, packed in oil-absorbent paper bags.
The two came to the stall, scanned the QR code to pay like the previous customers, took out two oil dumplings from the food box, and walked toward the subway station while eating.
When she was less than a hundred meters away from her destination, Zhong Xiaoqin's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Zhong Xiaoyang. She picked it up, put it to her ear and listened for a while, nodded and said "Okay", and hung up. Cut the call and stuff the phone into your bag.
Wang Manni said: "He's back?"
She remembered that Zhong Xiaoqin told her three or four days ago that Zhong Xiaoyang's mother called and asked him to go back to the Northeast immediately, so she was free for several days.
"Well, I'm back."
"As the saying goes, a break is better than a wedding. How about I go to my colleagues' place to deal with it tonight?"
Zhong Xiaoqin said: "When I called him just now, I heard that his mood was a little wrong."
Wang Manni stuffed the last bit of oil into her mouth: "Didn't he say anything?"
Zhong Xiaoqin shook his head: "He only said he would come home to find me right away and told me not to go anywhere."
"Oh." Wang Manni comforted her, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Didn't he tell her mother about you two before?"
Although Zhong Xiaoqin looked like "what do you know, you little brat" when the two were dating, she could tell that she was still very concerned about the big age gap between the two.
"Yeah." Zhong Xiaoqin nodded gently.
Wang Manni said: "Don't send me off, go back."
"Okay." Zhong Xiaoqin was worried about Zhong Xiaoyang and did not continue to send him forward.
…
Fifteen minutes later, she returned home and absentmindedly watched TV for a while. She only heard the thumping of footsteps from the corridor. A figure flashed and Zhong Xiaoyang entered the room with a gust of wind.
Zhong Xiaoqin stood up and said, "I heard you sounded anxious and panicked when you called me. What happened?"
Zhong Xiaoyang said sadly: "Something happened to my family."
Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment: "Something happened to your family? What happened?"
"My dad was reported and has now been investigated by the police and the company has been closed down."
"Is this why your mother asked you to go back two days ago?"
Zhong Xiaoqin saw that he was sweating profusely, so she picked up the large bottle on the coffee table and poured him a glass of water.
"How is the situation? Is it serious?"
Zhong Xiaoyang didn't speak because he didn't know how to explain to Zhong Xiaoqin that in fact, not only his father was under investigation, but also everyone who had interests in his company was implicated and was undergoing organizational review.
It is said that his father provoked the wrong people, but his mother begged many people and spent a lot of money to find out who wanted to destroy his family. Instead, it triggered a joint investigation by the tax department and the police, saying that she was running a business The gas station is suspected of tax evasion and using black oil.
You must know that his family is also a well-known big family in the county, with family assets of almost 200 million. However, it is over as soon as he says it, so fast that it is shocking.
"what should I do then?"
Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Zhong Xiaoyang's expression and knew that the situation was worse than she imagined.
Zhong Xiaoyang said: "My mother asked me to leave."
"Go? Where?"
"go abroad."
"go abroad?"
Zhong Xiaoyang nodded. There was not even a hint of wind before starting from above. It was unlikely that his family would turn over.
I just got the news yesterday that his mother is under border control. Although the possibility of him being implicated by the law is very small, once the company collapses, all kinds of debts will explode. By then, the domestic property will most likely be difficult to preserve. His mother The advice was for him to leave the country immediately and go to New Zealand to find his aunt. His father invested in a real estate there a few years ago, and he still had hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash deposits in the bank, which was enough to afford his life outside.
"I came to Shanghai this time to tell you that when I get settled there, I will come back to pick you up."
"Wait... I never thought about living abroad." Zhong Xiaoqin said, "Do you have to leave? Even if your father's company collapses, it won't have much impact on you."
"How come there is no impact? The debt collectors will definitely use harassment to force my mother to pay back the money. The house in Hongkou District is still in my father's name, and the motorcycle company's shares were purchased with gift money. Once the creditor files a lawsuit , don’t even think about keeping it.”
"Just like before, can't you find a job in Shanghai?"
"..." Zhong Xiaoyang remained silent.
He used to go to work in the property department of Hongyuan Group just for fun. If he could support himself with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan, he couldn't stand this kind of life.
Zhong Xiaoqin continued: "I have never left my parents since I was a child. Now you want me to live abroad. What will my parents do?"
Zhong Xiaoyang said: "Isn't it that you moved here to escape from your parents' control?"
"That's different."
She moved out from home because her parents always pointed out her love life, and she couldn't contradict them. If the old man had another heart attack and was hospitalized, wouldn't she die of guilt? Although they don't live together now, they are in the same city. She feels at ease there and so does she. But if they go abroad...
Why did you marry Chen Yu before? Isn’t the picture just about being with my parents?
"I'm leaving anyway." Zhong Xiaoyang said, "Think about it carefully. I'll call you after I get settled there."
After saying this, he picked up the shoulder bag placed on the sofa and left.
Zhong Xiaoqin sat back on the sofa, looked at the leisurely white clouds outside the slanted window, and murmured to herself: "How could this happen?"
…
How did that happen?
Lin Yue took off his all-seeing eye, walked to the balcony, and looked at the newly planted sycamore trees in the yard in silence.
With Lu Jinwei's connections in the Northeast, wouldn't it be easy to crush the Zhong family to death?
Three days ago, I told Gu Jia that Wang Yishi's help in advertising was a condition for the participation of a certain wealthy man from the Shuangtian family. Why didn't Lu Jinwei need to apply for a certificate?
His investment certificate was to bring down Zhong Xiaoyang's father's company.
There is a popular saying in the business world--You can't invest in Shanhaiguan. The Zhong family can earn over 100 million in assets there. It is simply impossible to say that they have always been operating in compliance with the laws and regulations.
Zhong Xiaoyang is a fun-loving person, which can be seen from driving a motorcycle, engaging in various romantic displays of love, and his daily words and deeds. Let him seriously find a job to earn money to support himself? It's very difficult.
Where is Zhong Xiaoqin? Cancer loves home, so it is basically impossible for her to leave her parents living in Shanghai and live in New Zealand, so there will inevitably be disagreements on the issue of going abroad.
Life with Chen Yu can be seen at a glance, and you feel that it is as uninteresting as retirement. Don't you want to toss it? Is it enough trouble now?
Just then, his cell phone rang.
When he saw the caller's name, he frowned, picked it up and put it to his ear. After a few breaths, his expression changed.
