Chapter 614: Chicken Lays Eggs 3

Shi Youxuan laughed: "Ranran is already in second grade, and the number of times he has dropped the child off can be counted on one hand, and that was only because he happened to be going to the school for something else; all men are like that."

After the small talk, Lady Qi asked Shi Youxuan: "Xuanxuan, a lady recommended a wealth management product to me yesterday, saying it has something to do with your family. Is that true?"

"Are you talking about 'Chicken Lays Eggs'?" Shi Youxuan asked.

"Yes, yes, it's called Chicken Lays Eggs, what a strange name..."

The couple exchanged a glance; they hadn't expected this product to spread so quickly that even Lady Qi's social circle had heard of it.

Shi Youxuan corrected her: "It was launched by my father-in-law and the others; it has nothing to do with Dingsheng."

"Oh, I see."

Lady Qi, who had originally seemed very interested, lost her enthusiasm, but still asked: "Xuanxuan, do you think I should buy some? A twenty-five percent return rate is very high, and it breaks even in a month with a short cycle; everyone in the ladies' circle is eager to try it."

If she hadn't been asked, Shi Youxuan certainly wouldn't have spoken out of turn.

But now that she had been asked, she spoke the truth: "I think it's better to be cautious. Returns exceeding twelve percent are no longer protected; their return rate is too high, so the risk is also higher."

"Although the company belongs to my father-in-law, I naturally hope my own family makes money, but since you asked me, I think you can compare it to companies that have already gone bust to see if there are many similarities. If there are many or they are basically the same, you shouldn't invest."

Lady Qi: "Alright, Xuanxuan, I'll listen to you. If you say it's no good, then it definitely isn't."

The two talked for a while at the school gate before parting ways.

The couple entered the school and went to the Principal's office, where Luo Xiaozhang had already brewed tea and was waiting for them.

After sitting down, the Principal apologized first: "I'm sorry, you two Chairmen, I asked you both here this time not for official business but for personal matters; it's hard to explain clearly in a word or two over the phone."

The Principal had never confused public and private matters before; his behavior this time was contrary to his usual self, indicating that the matter was very serious.

And the matter he wanted to discuss was still related to "Chicken Lays Eggs"!

The Principal's wife didn't know what had gotten into her; she had withdrawn all the family's savings to buy "Chicken Lays Eggs."

That wasn't all; she even wanted to sell their house to buy this wealth management product. Yesterday, the two didn't reach an agreement on this matter, and after a big argument, his wife went to live at her sister's house.

After a night, his anger had subsided quite a bit.

He thought about going to his sister-in-law's house to pick up his wife, but when he arrived, neither his wife nor his sister-in-law was there.

The children at home said the two had gone to an agency to list the house, and they wouldn't listen to the children's advice.

And their family's situation was not an isolated case.

Many relatives and friends around them were buying it, buying it until they were bankrupt.

At least... as far as the Principal knew, at least half of the faculty and staff in the school had bought this "Chicken Lays Eggs."

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan exchanged a glance; although they didn't speak, they had already understood the other's thoughts from each other's eyes.

Shi Youxuan smiled slightly and asked the Principal: "Why does everyone else buy it, but you think it's unreliable?"

The Principal's old face flushed, and he looked at Sheng Hanyu, feeling a bit embarrassed.

But he still spoke the truth: "We have known the General Manager of Shengda since we were young, and he is not someone capable of great things... I invited you two here this time just to ask, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"If it has anything to do with you, I have to consider whether to retire early. With this kind of operation, even a gold mountain would go bankrupt."

Shi Youxuan:...

The Principal's judgment was indeed sharp; so many people had followed along in a daze, yet only he remained clear-headed.

Sheng Hanyu didn't show his usual coldness; he wrote a handwritten statement for the Principal, with his signature at the bottom.

The statement said that Shengda Group and Dingsheng Group had no connection, and the "Chicken Lays Eggs" product had absolutely nothing to do with him, Sheng Hanyu; if any problems arose, he would not be held responsible.

This statement was exactly what the Principal wanted.

Now people outside all believed that "Chicken Lays Eggs" belonged to their Dingsheng; if Shengda collapsed, Dingsheng would inevitably be implicated.

The two left the school; Sheng Hanyu didn't go to the company, and Shi Youxuan didn't go home. They gathered a few friends to hold a small meeting together.

Ginza Building.

Chinese restaurant.

The large restaurant was cleared out and was not serving walk-in customers.

Besides the couple, the first to arrive was Yun Zhe Hao.

Yun Zhe Hao's office was on the top floor, which hadn't changed for so many years. He was the closest, but he wasn't the first to arrive because he had been held up by matters.

After meeting, the old friends' way of greeting remained the same.

He punched Sheng Hanyu on the shoulder: "You came just in time. Even if you hadn't looked for me today, I would have looked for you. What's going on with Chicken Lays Eggs? It popped up suddenly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."

"So many people called me today asking if we have any connection to Chicken Lays Eggs."

Sheng Hanyu: "How did you answer?"

Yun Zhe Hao: "Told the truth, of course, that there's no connection."

As the few were talking, Sheng Zerong arrived.

"Where is Yixin?" Shi Youxuan asked.

Sheng Zerong: "She's at home taking care of the kids and will be here in a bit."

The news Sheng Zerong brought was about the same as what Yun Zhe Hao said; he had also only just heard about the "Chicken Lays Eggs" product.

And the channel through which he heard it was also via phone.

In one morning, his phone was almost blown up.

The content of the questions was much the same, all asking if the Shengda behind "Chicken Lays Eggs" had any connection to the Sheng Family!

"How did you answer?"

"How did you answer?"

"How did you answer?"

The three spoke in unison.

Sheng Zerong said: "I said there is a connection."

Sheng Hanyu:...

Shi Youxuan:...

Yun Zhe Hao:...

"Are you a pig-brained idiot?" Yun Zhe Hao pointed his finger at him, frustrated and disappointed: "Ze Rong, oh Ze Rong, the fact that the Sheng Family Group hasn't fallen into ruin under your hands yet is truly... just too much good luck."

He was unconvinced: "Stop standing there and talking without feeling the pain; if I don't say we're related, what am I supposed to say? Sheng Da belongs to my uncle. Although I am the Chairman of the Sheng Family Group, my uncle also has shares in it. Of course we're related; we're all one family, how could we not be related?"

"If I call you pig-brained, you still won't accept it. Why don't you think about whether Chicken Lays Eggs is reliable? Why did those people call you to verify? It shows that they also know it's unreliable, and they just want to use moral kidnapping to tie you and your uncle together."

"If that little broken company of his goes bankrupt, those people will swarm your company like a hive to chase you for money!"

After Yun Zhe Hao's words, Sheng Zerong finally understood the intentions of the people who had called him.

"Big Brother, what should I do?" He finally thought to ask now.

Sheng Hanyu: "The two of us came here this time just to discuss what to do. Xuanxuan and my intention is for our families to jointly issue a public statement, declaring that Chicken Lays Eggs has nothing to do with us."

Yun Zhe Hao nodded: "I agree."

Sheng Zerong was still hesitant: "Isn't that a bit too heartless? Uncle will be so heartbroken!"

"Heartbroken or not, it must be done." Jian Yixin appeared at the doorway.

Moli had a bit of a fever last night and didn't sleep well all night; she only came out after the fever broke this morning and the child was fast asleep.
