Another day has passed.
In the morning, birds sing among the branches of the trees, and the east wind blows away the sleepiness of the city.
In Jinyuan Community, as an Audi A8 passed by quickly, the door of the villa opened, and Mr. Meng's face flashed past.
"Dad, Mom, I went out to play with my friends."
"This kid."
In the living room, Shen Yingshu looked unhappy. He didn't study well in China and was always making trouble. After being sent to study in the UK, he calmed down a bit. But now that he has returned from graduation, his true colors have been revealed. I'm thinking of finding him a stable job. I didn’t even want to go, I just went to nightclubs and parties with a group of teenagers. The key was that I was in good spirits. I came back at two or three o’clock in the evening, slept for five or six hours, got up and went crazy again.
"Hurry, come and eat, otherwise the shrimp porridge will get cold, and these steamed dumplings are from Xi Shengyuan. Sister He went out to buy them early in the morning." Meng Zhiyuan was already sitting in the restaurant and saw her coming out to point. The chairs opposite the dining table signaled her to hurry up and have breakfast.
Shen Yingshu walked over and sat down, picked up the small green glaze bowl in front of him, brought it to his mouth and put it back.
"What happened to what I told you the day before yesterday?"
"No rush, no rush, let's eat first." Meng Zhiyuan tapped the steamed buns with chopsticks. Seeing that she didn't move, he picked up one and put it in the vinegar dish in front of her: "Eat while it's hot."
Shen Yingshu remained motionless, just staring at him.
"Hey, you said why do you need to do this?"
Meng Zhiyuan shook his head, picked up the document bag on his right hand and handed it over.
Shen Yingshu asked: "What?"
Meng Zhiyuan said: "Open it and you will know."
She unsealed the cotton thread and took out the contents inside to see that they were sheets of documents.
"This...this...this is..."
"Evidence that Shen Hao issued false VAT invoices."
"how so?"
Meng Zhiyuan didn't notice the strangeness in Shen Yingshu's eyes, and he didn't know that she was only 30% surprised and the remaining 70% was just pretending, because this was not the first time she had seen this thing, and "Han Ruqiu" said However, besides him, there will be people who threaten her with this. If this happens, don't panic, he will help solve it.
As for the first three points of surprise, she never expected that the person who threatened her with this was actually her husband.
"Look at the signature again."
Shen Yingshu didn't read the signature below, but just muttered: "I really didn't know he would do this."
"But the signature is yours." Meng Zhiyuan said: "This was found out by Mingyu. She didn't tell anyone. It was only handed over to me yesterday. You are responsible for this matter, and she is also responsible. If people in the company really want to know about it, everyone will be involved. Yingshu, you are an accountant. You don’t need to tell me what the consequences will be if you are found to have falsely issued VAT invoices, right?"
The criminal liability for falsely issuing VAT invoices starts at three years and has no upper limit.
"Lao Meng, this...this...I really didn't know Shen Hao would do such a thing."
"Don't tell me this, go tell Mingyu."
Meng Zhiyuan patted the table, shook his head, and put on an expression of sadness and anger: "Okay, this is your natal family."
After speaking, he picked up the napkin spread in front of him, wiped his mouth, and left the table.
Shen Yingshu flipped through the documents in his hand again, picked up the shrimp porridge and took a sip with an expressionless expression. As for the xiaolongbao placed in the vinegar dish, he only fiddled with it with chopsticks but did not eat it.
Ding dong~
At this moment, a clear ringing sound came from the mobile phone.
She took it out and saw that Han Ruqiu had sent her a text message. The content was very simple - see you at the same place.
As soon as Meng Zhiyuan came up with this threat, contact information was sent over there. This Su Mingyu's second brother... is really powerful.
As early as Su Mingcheng ran to Zhongcheng headquarters and injured Su Mingyu, she had figured out Han Ruqiu's identity, but so what, she had to be cowardly, and she had a vague feeling that Meng Zhiyuan should not be offended. The premonition of provoking people.
…
Two hours later.
I heard the hall.
It’s still the only private room, the same pot of tea, and the same person. The difference from last time is the scenery outside the window.
The summer rain always comes so quickly and catches people off guard. The elegant landlady is in a hurry to collect the new tea hanging in the yard. Shen Yingshu covers his head with his bag, trots into the hall, and walks to the outside of the box with ease. Pull the door open.
A wisp of sandalwood drifted by, dispersing the earthy smell brought in from outside.
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I'm late."
Saying sorry, she sat down in the chair across from the tea table.
Lin Yue pushed over a cup of tea.
"Thanks."
The last time she came here, she was eaten to death and was not in the mood to drink tea at all. This time she came here was different. Although Meng Zhiyuan threatened Shen Haoxu with the issue of VAT invoices, Su Mingcheng said he would Help her solve the problem, then it will be done.
"This is... the special West Lake Longjing, right? It tastes good."
"That's right." Lin Yue was not surprised that she could distinguish the type and grade of tea. Meng Zhiyuan loved tea, so naturally he felt a little bit influenced by his wife.
"By the way, this..."
He pushed a card over.
Shen Yingshu took a closer look and saw that it was a China Merchants Bank gold card.
"This is?"
Lin Yue said: "There are 6 million in it, as promised to you before."
"You are quite trustworthy."
Last year he said he would borrow 5 million and agreed to pay 10% interest for three months. What did she think? It was obvious that he was extorting money. Later, when she saw how powerful he was, she didn't even care about the principal, not to mention the interest. He mentioned it on the phone three months ago and asked her if she needed it urgently. If she needed it urgently, he would pay back the money. , if you don’t need it urgently, just leave it with him temporarily. How could she dare to say "no".
Unexpectedly, three months later, he actually exchanged the money and paid 20% more interest, which was one million more in half a year. This return... was so high that she was surprised.
Lin Yue said: "Although I sometimes go back on my word, I don't treat anyone too much. As long as you obey me and don't play tricks on me, then I will be an honest and trustworthy man."
Shen Yingshu was amused by the term "honest and trustworthy young man". When it comes to insidiousness, there is no one like him that she has ever met, young man? The old fox is pretty much the same.
Seeing that she was not pretentious and put the bank card in her handbag, Lin Yue took out his mobile phone, clicked on a recording and pushed it in front of Shen Yingshu.
"Your wife went to Xishan Island yesterday to block me."
"Is it about Shen Hao?"
"Yes, she said she had been looking for you."
"..."
"I discovered this when I led someone to check the accounts a few days ago. It turns out that Shen Hao has been falsely issuing value-added tax invoices for a company that has no actual business dealings with Zhongcheng and making profits from it. Judging from the amount, it is tens to millions. Yes, of course, this is not the key, the key is that these orders were signed and approved by the master’s wife.”
"You want me to threaten her?"
"Is there a better way than this?"
"..."
The further he listened, the uglier Shen Yingshu's face became.
Whatever Su Mingyu accidentally discovered when checking the accounts, whatever worries about implicating herself, were all false. This was clearly Su Mingyu handing the knife to Meng Zhiyuan and asking him to use it against her.
Although she had had a premonition early in the morning, when she heard the recording of Meng Zhiyuan and Su Mingyu working together to harm her, her inner anger still surged uncontrollably.
Gudu~
The tea in the cup spilled onto the table due to the shaking of his arm, and Lin Yue thoughtfully handed over a tissue.
"This recording...how did you get it?"
Lin Yue chuckled: "Is this important?"
Shen Yingshu was a little embarrassed and subconsciously touched his wrist.
Of course this was not important, because the man in front of her had done too many things that she could not understand. He had no reason or obligation to explain the logic behind the incident to her.
"By the way, there's something I think I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Do you know what prompted Meng Zhiyuan to sound the clarion call for counterattack?"
"I heard from my cousin that it was Su Mingyu who got the evidence that Sun Huairan colluded with Mr. Zhao."
"Then do you know who gave her the evidence?"
"who?"
"Liu Qing."
"Liu Qing? This guy is really a..."
"The second and fifth son? The third-named family slave? You are mistaken. He is here for you."
"Are you coming for me?" Shen Yingshu couldn't figure out why Liu Qing was coming for her when she provided Su Mingyu with evidence that Sun Huairan had colluded with Mr. Zhao.
"Have you forgotten? I was arrested and taken to the police station for beating Su Mingyu. They discussed finding a doctor to perform eardrum perforation surgery in order to deceive the forensic doctor into making a minor injury determination. It was me who sent you a message, asking you to use the evidence to force Liu Qing betrayed Su Mingyu."
Of course she has not forgotten this. Why can a person who is imprisoned in a detention center still send messages and emails? This problem has troubled her for a while. Of course, this is not the crux of the problem. The crux of the problem is that he actually got the evidence that Liu Qing leaked trade secrets to Li Jin, and he also knew that the two people wanted to perjury to frame him. She was She was very scared, afraid that he would tell her about falsely issuing VAT invoices, so without saying a word, she found Liu Qing with the evidence and forced him to betray Su Mingyu, and recorded the audio of the negotiation with the doctor.
"You mean...Liu Qing is driving tigers and devouring wolves?"
"Well, he still has some brains." Lin Yue nodded, tapping his fingers on the table and said: "You hold in your hand the evidence of his collusion with gold gilding. Of course he can't tell Su Mingyu that you forced him to be a second-in-command. , what would you do if she came to question you? Nine times out of ten, she would fight back against Liu Qing, tell Zhang Tong about his theft of secrets, and ask the group legal affairs to prosecute him, but if it starts with Sun Huairan, he will Your revenge is disguised as internal strife between the veteran faction of the Zhongcheng Group headed by your Shen family and the rookie faction headed by Meng Zhiyuan. Then he can stay out of the matter and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, waiting for Meng Zhiyuan to take down the Shen family. If everyone is defeated in a fight, I will seize you and take full control of the Zhongcheng Group. If you stick to your word and your position will be stable, Liu Qing, like Su Mingyu, will become a great contributor to Zhongcheng. At that time, you can bring out the evidence to pay back the debt. What's the use? If Meng Zhiyuan says those things are trade secrets, they are trade secrets; if he says those things are not trade secrets, they are not trade secrets."
Shen Yingshu said in a deep voice: "This guy looks submissive, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious."
Lin Yue said: "Su Mingyu became the general manager of Jiangnan Company by virtue of her mentoring relationship with Meng Zhiyuan, and Liu Qing became the general manager of Jiangbei Company by relying on her personal training. So do you think the former is more scheming or the latter is more scheming? ?”
Shen Yingshu stopped talking because the answer was obvious.
"Since you know that the photos of Sun Huairan's contact with Mr. Zhao were taken by Liu Qing, you must have evidence that he betrayed Mr. Zhao."
"What do you think?"
Shen Yingshu stopped talking again, because to be serious, it had to be the person in front of him.
She picked up the cup and took a sip of tea to moisten her dry throat: "Then should you tell Mr. Zhao about this and give him a chance to clean up his family?"
"Mengtai, your top priority isn't revenge on Liu Qing, is it?" Lin Yue glanced out the window. The rain stopped, and a ray of sunlight fell through the gaps in the clouds, dyeing the thatch on the courtyard door golden, the bluestone slabs and the water The depressions scatter the twilight light, which is quite poetic.
After this reminder, Shen Yingshu suddenly realized: "Tell me what I should do."
"Pull the fire under the cauldron."
"Pull the fire under the cauldron?"
When Lin Yue said this, he suddenly changed the subject: "Even now, do you still think that what I said when Meng Zhiyuan was pretending to be sick and was hospitalized was alarmist?"
What did Meng Zhiyuan say when he pretended to be sick?
He said that Meng Zhiyuan was pretending to be ill in order to wipe out her natal family. He also said earlier that in the eyes of people like Meng Zhiyuan, the only bond between a husband and wife is property and children. As for feelings... …nonexistent.
Until now, Meng Zhiyuan's actions have proved this point.
He would rather join forces with an outsider to punish her, but also want to clear out her natal family, cross rivers and demolish bridges, unload mills and kill donkeys... This is using the mentality of an ancient emperor who was born as a commoner to control her.
Lin Yue said: "Today he can attack your family for money, and in the future he can turn against you for money. As long as the evidence of Shen Haoxu's VAT invoice is in his hand, your fear of those two people in the future will be gone. Deeper than the fear of me.”
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Her conflicts with Su Mingcheng were far less than those with Meng Zhiyuan and Su Mingyu.
"Pull the fire under the cauldron, take the fire under the cauldron... Let's be honest, what do you want me to do?"
Lin Yue smiled at her and spoke slowly and softly.
After hearing this, Shen Yingshu opened his mouth for more than ten seconds before slowly closing it.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure I'm going to do it."
"..."
Lin Yue was not in a hurry. He poured the remaining tea in the cup into the tea wash, then picked up the teapot and filled himself a cup.
Dong Dong Dong~
There was a knock on the door outside.
He shouted "Come in".
The bookish proprietress walked in, buried the half-burned sandalwood in the lotus incense burner in the ashes, smiled apologetically at him, walked out of the box and closed the door.
Shen Yingshu closed his eyes and thought for a while, nodded and replied: "Okay."
Lin Yue leaned closer to the cup and took a sip of tea: "Wise."
Shen Yingshu picked up the cup and drank all the tea in one gulp.
Lin Yue said: "This is not good. Tea should be drunk slowly and only take three sips."
He has the leisure to enjoy tea, does she?
No.
…
Buzz…
Buzz…
The phone kept vibrating on the bedside table.
Julie pushed him: "Phone, your phone is ringing."
Lin Yue reached out and touched the bedside table. When he brought it to his face, he saw that it was Su Mingzhe calling. He looked at the time again, two in the morning.
"Hey, have you still not adjusted after being jet lagged for half a year?"
Su Mingzhe was not embarrassed by his sarcasm.
"Mingcheng, where are you now?"
Lin Yue said: "Me? I'm on a business trip out of town?"
"On a business trip? Something happened to Dad."
"What could happen to him?"
"Mingyu just called me and said that dad kicked the nanny out of the house in the middle of the night." Su Mingzhe's voice could not hide the anxiety.
Lin Yue actually understood the boss of the Su family quite well. Have you lived here for a month? Su Daqiang kicked out the three nannies. The first one complained that they were from Henan, had strong taste, and the cooking was not delicious; the second one complained that they were unhygienic and could not clean the bugs in the vegetable leaves, and there was always dirt on their fingernails. , the toilet was cleaned once a day; the third one thought that the other person's words were unpleasant, because throwing garbage would cause a quarrel with the community security guard, and finally relied on his sharp tongue to persuade the property management company not to pursue the case.
"Tell me, what's the reason for being a monster this time?"
"Mingyu said the nanny couldn't bear it this time."
"The nanny can't stand it?"
Su Mingzhe sighed: "The nanny told me that my father would get up at least two or three times a night, and as many as four or five times. The key is that every time after peeing, he would ask her to come over and clean it, which made her restless. She said that she would clean it at dawn. Well, he is still anxious with others, isn't that...he had a quarrel tonight and was kicked out."
This is a problem with the prostate that has worsened again.
As someone who is familiar with the plot of TV series, Lin Yue naturally knows the reason why Su Daqiang frequently wakes up at night.
"Where's Su Mingyu? If you want to know the old man's situation as soon as possible, go find her."
"She...she's...also on a business trip."
Hey, on a business trip?
Lin Yue sneered at this statement. Su Mingyu was playing the role of a vanguard, defeating Vice President Zhang's cronies one by one. Would she go on a business trip at such a critical moment? Obviously, Su Mingyu's logic is that one of her and the boss is responsible for the house, and the other is responsible for the nanny. Whether the old man is dead, alive, sick, or hungry, he is responsible for all the problems in life.
"Don't worry, he's still alive and can't die."
"Mingcheng, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree..."
"What did you agree to? Did you agree that I would take care of him? Ask him if he would like me to stay at home? Is it possible that I will stop working and keep an eye on him every day? Then how much will you give me every month? I won't pay less than 10,000. Dry."
Su Mingzhe was choked speechless by his words. He had agreed that he would be responsible for taking care of Su Daqiang, but he didn't say that he would not let him give up his job. Su Mingcheng said that he would give him 10,000 yuan a month before he would resign. The money didn't seem like much. , and it’s six figures a year. Feifei and Xiaomi need money to support them, and they have to pay for a house loan in the United States. In addition, they have to borrow 2.7 million from their father-in-law and mother-in-law. How can there be any money for him.
"Your salary is twice as much as a nanny's salary."
"Is it too expensive? Then hire a nanny."
"Mingcheng..."
"Su Mingzhe, what are you talking about with me in the middle of the night? Come and accuse me when something happens to the old man. Don't disturb my sleep now."
Snapped.
He hung up the phone.
A call from Julie woke them both.
"You really don't want to go back and take a look?"
Su Mingcheng is on a business trip? Is going from Nanshan Lishe Community to Sunac Taohuayuan considered a business trip? It doesn’t count.
"Why go back? Why don't you go? Su Daqiang can eat, sleep, run and jump. Why go back and see him? He took those nannies away on purpose."
"on purpose?"
Julie couldn't understand. According to normal people's thinking, it would be great to have a nanny to take care of her life. What does it mean to do everything possible to get someone away?
"He wants a nanny who suits his own needs, not the spy sent by Su Mingyu to monitor him and me. Mom has taken care of him for so many years, and now that she is gone, do you think he can have some fun in his heart?"
Of course Julie could understand what this meant: "Dad...it can't be right? He is over sixty this year."
Lin Yue said: "Haven't you heard this sentence? A man is a boy until he dies."
Julie glanced back and forth with an appraising look.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
"What do you think?"
"Ouch."
Then she let out a cry of pain.
"What's wrong?"
"They kicked me."
Lin Yue looked at Zhu Li's belly.
"Ouch."
She shouted again: "Here, here...if you see it, it's right here."
He put his hand up and touched it, and sure enough he felt something moving under his belly: "They are fighting for territory."
"What should we do?"
Lin Yue leaned over and said to her belly: "If you are not honest, I will let Su Mingyu raise you from now on."
Strangely enough, the two little guys who had been playing happily just now suddenly became wilted.
“See, a wicked person can stop a child from crying at night, and she can stop a fetus from moving around.”
Julie pushed him: "Go, I heard your call this afternoon. Is this too much?"
