Chapter 519: Inquiring About Director Qi

After Xiao Yue and Zhao Xiaohua had left.

Wen Han smiled and asked me, "Brother Jianqiang, how is the girl Xiao Yue?"

I replied, "She's quite good, loves to laugh, and understands people's hearts."

"Brother Jianqiang, well said. In that boss's tea room, only Xiao Yue catches my eye. The others are no good; a woman being merely beautiful isn't enough, she must also understand people's hearts."

It's a pity that women nowadays only know how to be pretty. They know nothing else at all.

Since Brother Jianqiang likes Xiao Yue, just take Xiao Yue away.

I've always wanted to give Brother Jianqiang a treasure, but haven't found one. Just now, seeing the way Xiao Yue looked at Jianqiang, I knew that girl had fallen for Brother Jianqiang, Wen Han said, smiling at me.

"Mr. Wen, jokes like that can't be made."

I, Zhao Jianqiang, know what kind of person I am.

I have a wife, a family of my own; other women hold no attraction for me," I immediately refused.

"Alas, Brother Jianqiang, I also understand your wife's situation. You are a man; as long as you're a man, you all like this."

I say, I'll grant Xiao Yue to you, just grant her. Xiao Yue matches you quite well.

Alright, no need to be polite.

When you leave later, just take Xiao Yue with you," Wen Han said in a tone that left no room for refusal.

I don't know which script Wen Han is reciting, but he starts by bestowing a beauty on me.

Grant Xiao Yue to me,

I still can't refuse, otherwise Wen Han would get angry.

If I refuse again,

I can only say, "Thank you, Mr. Wen. May I ask, Mr. Wen, what impression you have of my brother Zhao Xiaohua? If he's unsuitable to be chairman of Da Heng Group, you may replace him directly."

"Zhao Xiaohua only needs a bit of training, and besides, a person too capable is beyond our control.

That's fine.

Zhao Xiaohua is, after all, Brother Jianqiang's younger brother; with him managing Da Heng Group in the future, I'll be very at ease," Wen Han said.

Hearing Wen Han say that made me feel much more comfortable.

Regarding Zhao Xiaohua's recent demeanor, I was dissatisfied; he showed none of the composure of a chairman, speaking with an unsettled mind.

But Wen Han said that a capable person is also hard to control; that statement was correct.

This White Glove only needs obedience, no other ability.

Zhao Xiaohua is timid; he will absolutely obey Wen Han in the future.

"Since Mr. Wen says it's permissible, I have nothing more to add; whatever the matter, just instruct Zhao Xiaohua."

"Mr. Wen, I have recommended Zhao Xiaohua to you; the task is complete, and tomorrow I intend to return to Zaocheng."

"Before heading back to Zaocheng, I want to see Xiao Fang. I wish to tell her about her father's matter," I said, looking at Wen Han.

Wen Han lightly nodded,

"Xiao Fang, these past few days you've been preparing for studying abroad.

How did her father die?"

"It was Liu Shiru and Kong Shi who caused his death," I said.

"Alas, the departed are great; very well. Tomorrow, meet Xiao Fang and speak to her. Let her settle this matter," Wen Han said.

"Xiao Fang wants to study abroad; where does she plan to go?" I asked.

"She will go to the United States to study the host profession, which takes two years, with intensive training, so that upon return she can be directly promoted to a host at a TV station. Alas, the competition among hosts is fierce now; without a study‑abroad background, promoting Xiao Fang straight to a host is difficult," Wen Han sighed.

I hadn't realized that becoming a host was so hard for Xiao Fang, requiring a study‑abroad background.

It seems some matters I thought were simple; I assumed Wen Han could solve it with a single sentence.

"Alright, tomorrow I'll see Xiao Fang and discuss her father's matter with her. In Sijiucheng, Xiao Fang has no other relatives; everything depends on Mr. Wen's care. As for Xiao Fang's study‑abroad expenses…" I began to say.

Wen Han gestured with his hand,

"Why bring that up? As long as Xiao Fang likes it, that's enough. By the way, Brother Jianqiang, I have a question for you; you must answer truthfully," Wen Han said, pulling out a cigarette as he looked at me.

"Mr. Wen, may I ask, what can I dare to conceal from you, given what I know?" I hurriedly said.

"Alright, I ask you, what's the deal with Director Qi?" Wen Han asked directly.

No need to ask Wang Ge about the four‑hundred‑million matter concerning Director Qi that he brought up to Wen Han.

I looked at Wen Han and said, "Mr. Wen, Director Qi and I are old friends."

When Da Heng Group was founded, Director Qi participated. The two of us jointly invested in land near Zaocheng Xin Cheng, just as Zaocheng was planning the new city.

Our land appreciated, and thus I earned my first pot of gold.

Then we together established Da Heng Group.

The smooth development of Da Heng Group is largely due to Director Qi's involvement.

Later, he retired and went abroad.

Our contact lessened.

A year ago, Da Heng Group ran into trouble,

that was when Liu Shiru contacted the Zhou Family to scheme against Da Heng Group. I thought of Director Qi and proactively sought his help.

To see if he could help Da Heng Group get out of the crisis," I said, taking Wen Han's cigarette, lighting it, and taking a drag.

Wen Han nodded slightly,

"So that's the situation; I had thought Wang Ge was saying it on purpose. You and Director Qi have known each other for a long time. And that four‑hundred‑million, what's that about?"

"Here's how it went: at that time, when contacting Director Qi, he said that Da Heng Group was, after all, co‑founded by him and me. Between us it's just profit sharing; we never clarified how much equity each holds.

This matter had never been discussed; that night we talked about equity.

Director Qi's intention was that his share be valued at four hundred million.

When the time comes, let me and him sign a contract agreement.

I agreed, after all Director Qi is involved in the Da Heng Group, which works to my advantage.

Because at that time I needed Director Qi's help.

I signed the agreement with him.

"After agreeing, I'll give him 400 million." I took a puff of my cigarette and then spoke.

"Damn, he didn't do anything at all, yet he made 400 million for nothing. This Director Qi, he's calculating precisely. I estimate it won't be long before he comes back."

"Brother Jianqiang, Director Qi gets 400 million, Brother Wang gets 400 million, how much is left of the Da Heng Group? We're busy inside and out, what are we aiming for, you tell me." After Wen Han finished speaking, he then lazily lay on the sofa and smoked.

It seems Wen Han doesn't want to give those 400 million to Director Qi.

I don't care either way; I don't even want the Da Heng Group anymore, so why would I care about that 400 million?

Wen Han's point is that Director Qi didn't contribute anything at all, he just came to enjoy the ready-made benefits.

I also don't know what to say,

I also smoked without speaking,

After a while,

Wen Han suddenly said, "Brother Jianqiang, now we need you to step forward."

The current Da Heng Group is no longer the past Da Heng Group. The contract you signed before was with the former Da Heng Group,

the present Da Heng Group is what we took back from Kong Shi's hands.

"This Director Qi, if he wants to get back the 400 million, he can only ask the former Da Heng Group for it."

What does that mean? Wen Han is having me step up to deal with Director Qi,

that 400 million agreement was signed by the former Da Heng Group.

the present Da Heng Group doesn't want to acknowledge the debt.

As for this matter, it turns out Wen Han bestowed Xiao Yue upon me.

There's a reason for all of this.

That is, I've taken on all the responsibility,

I signed for those 400 million, and I am facing Director Qi directly.

Director Qi can't cause trouble for the Da Heng Group anymore. Wen Han can refuse to give Director Qi the 400 million.
