Chapter 649: Really not simple

Pan Xiaoqin was really not simple. At the dinner table, she told me bluntly that she wanted to buy shares in Qian Youyu's company.

I was so shocked that my chopsticks almost fell to the ground. Qian Youyu was now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, unable to protect himself. He hadn't returned the money borrowed from the bank until now, and he couldn't produce land to mortgage to others. If he didn't give the bank an explanation, the bank would give him an explanation.

The bank's explanation was very simple: Qian Youyu was suspected of fraudulent loans, and the number was so huge that sitting in prison wouldn't necessarily reduce his guilt.

Didn't Pan Xiaoqin know this situation? A trace of doubt rose in my heart. I brewed my emotions and said: "Why did you suddenly want to do this?"

Pan Xiaoqin giggled, just asking me: "Brother, just say, will you help me or not?"

My words contained meaning: I can't help you, you should know the difficulties and retreat.

Pan Xiaoqin didn't eat this set of mine, and said ignorantly: "Aside from you, no one can help me. Boss Qian only listens to one person. If you speak, he won't dare not listen."

Having said this, I felt there was no need to hide it anymore, so I simply told her: "What shares are you buying? Old Qian has gone bankrupt. Do you want to jump in and be a cushion for him?"

I originally thought that if I told her the truth, she would know the difficulties and retreat. Who would have expected Pan Xiaoqin to laugh and say: "What bankruptcy? He has plenty of money. People are now flourishing, wanting as much money as they want."

"Is that so?" I asked in surprise. I hadn't seen Qian Youyu for a long time, and hadn't contacted him. Did this old boy dig up treasure and get rich?

I knew that in order to overcome the difficulties, Qian Youyu had hit the idea on my aunt. He wanted to sell non-existent land to my uncle, Boss Zhang. Although I didn't point it out. But my uncle was such a shrewd person, would he still fall for his trick?

"I'm telling the truth. Now you go to Suxi Town and see, people send money to the door, he doesn't even want it." Pan Xiaoqin said with envy: "Brother, Old Qian said, as long as you nod, he will let me buy shares."

I had no bottom in my heart. I really didn't know where Qian Youyu got rich, which made Pan Xiaoqin come to me from thousands of miles away to buy shares in his company.

Pan Xiaoqin was a steady person. When she dared to open a supermarket at the old township government, it showed that her vision was different from others. She hid progress in steadiness, and facts proved that she succeeded over the years.

I put down the chopsticks in my hand and said: "Xiaoqin, don't blame me for not helping you. I really have no way to help you. If Old Qian is willing to let you buy shares in his company, why must I nod? I am neither his shareholder nor his leader. Who he is willing to accept has nothing to do with me."

Pan Xiaoqin's expression became bad. She also put down the chopsticks and pouted: "You don't help me, right? I won't eat. Leaving!"

She got up and wanted to leave. Xi Meizhu hurriedly stood up to stop her, dragging her hand and saying: "Xiaoqin, who are you losing your temper with? Speak well."

Pan Xiaoqin gave her a white look and said: "I didn't lose my temper with anyone, what qualifications do I have to lose my temper with others? I am not a member of my brother's family, unlike you."

Her snatching words made Xi Meizhu's face flush red, both shy and anxious, her lips moved for a long time without saying a word.

They were a pair of natural enemies. Ever since they met at the agricultural products company in Suxi Township, and followed me to Hengyue City to open a company, the two of them had never stopped.

It was just that after the township government took back the company, Pan Xiaoqin found me to borrow some money to open a supermarket at the old bridgehead of Suxi Township. And Xi Meizhu left the company, opened a shop alone, and after transferring it to others, she lived in my house. She recognized my mother as a godmother. As my mother didn't give birth to a daughter in her life, she suddenly fell from the sky with such a girl, how could she be willing to let her leave herself.

Of course, my wife Huang Weiwei knew about this relationship clearly.

When I was still in Suxi Township, Huang Weiwei once joked with me, saying that although this little girl was beautiful and pure, for me, it was simply not my dish.

I didn't understand the meaning of her words at first. She told me later that she had read it from my eyes long ago, I was a person who was not willing to be mediocre. I wouldn't let a woman hold back my steps. She couldn't, and no woman could!

My wife Huang Weiwei could be considered to have seen through my women. Her words were verified many times in my later life.

For example, until now, I only had a little ambiguity with them, and never crossed the thunder pool by half a step. I would always brake at the critical moment. Because I deeply understood that whether it was Pan Xiaoqin or Xi Meizhu, as long as I touched them, I would never think of walking away again.

They were not like Xue Bing, not like Yue Bai, and would not be like Xuelai and Chen Meng. They were pure mountain girls, and only recognized the dead reason in their lives.

After Pan Xiaoqin snatched Xi Meizhu, she also felt that her words were too rushed. She stood in the middle of the room, neither walking nor sitting.

At this time, my wife Huang Weiwei appeared. She just called out lightly: "Xiaoqin, come and sit."

Pan Xiaoqin obediently came over and sat at the edge of the table: "Meizhu, I didn't mean anything else!"

Xi Meizhu smiled weakly and stood up: "I'm full, Niannian is awake, I'll go see."

Xi Meizhu got up and went to the bedroom, leaving the three of us at the table. My mother only ate one meal a day now, and could only drink some thin porridge, no longer interested in big fish and meat, and no longer sat at the table to eat with us.

"Xiaoqin, you have to apologize to Meizhu!" Huang Weiwei said seriously: "If you don't apologize, I won't forgive you either."

Pan Xiaoqin flushed and said: "Sister-in-law, you know me, I speak quickly, I don't use my brain, and I don't take it to heart after saying it."

"I know, of course!" Huang Weiwei smiled faintly: "But you have to know, Meizhu is a member of our family now, she is Chen Feng's sister, and also my sister. Although there is no blood relationship between us, Meizhu has been taking care of my mother at home for these years, just for this point, I must treat her as a relative."

Huang Weiwei's voice was not high, but every word made Pan Xiaoqin sit on pins and needles.

I saw her eyes turn, and tears fell down with a "pop."

Seeing Pan Xiaoqin crying, Huang Weiwei couldn't bear it. She comforted her: "I know you are all for your brother's good. It's just that your brother is in the most difficult period now. If he can help you, would he not help? Besides, I also heard that Boss Qian's days were not good for a period of time, why did he suddenly have money? What is your purpose for buying shares in his company?"

Pan Xiaoqin wiped her tears, calmed her mood and said: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, this dead Old Qian, he harmed me once in the past. Now that he has money, I have to earn it back!" 【64

Pan Xiaoqin wiped away a tear, calmed her emotions, and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, this damn old Qian harmed me once in the past. Now that he has money, I have to earn it back!"

"How did he harm you?"

"Before Suxi Town was relocated, my brother found me a plot of land in Suxi Town. I spent quite a bit of money on this land, but later, when Suxi was being built into a town, I couldn't come up with the money to build on it. However, my brother's town government had explicit regulations that all land must be built upon within two years, or else the land would be reclaimed. I didn't have the money, but I couldn't bear to have the land taken away. It was this Boss Qian who found me and gave me less than half the cost of the land to transfer it to him. Now he has built a Suxi Hotel on my land, and business is booming like crazy!"

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" This was the first time I had heard Pan Xiaoqin mention this matter. Back when Qian Youyu was building the hotel on her land, I had wanted to ask about it, but I was held up by other things and eventually forgot about it.

"Brother, it's not that I didn't want to tell you, but you were too busy back then. You were so busy you even ate standing up; how could I bother you with such a small matter? Besides, Qian Youyu did give me money, it just wasn't enough to cover what I spent on the land."

"But now that you want to buy shares in his company, what is it about him that you've taken a liking to?"

"Doesn't he have hundreds of acres of land in his hands? And it's land in the Municipal Industrial Park, too. This land is worth a fortune. I heard Qian Youyu say he got the land for 300,000 per acre, and now it's risen to over 3 million."

"Nonsense!" I laughed. "What kind of tricks is old Qian playing now?"

Pan Xiaoqin said earnestly, "It's true. Everyone in Suxi Town is saying so. He's currently raising funds, promising interest rates five times higher than the bank, and paying interest every month. The people in Suxi Town are going crazy; many are taking out bank loans to lend him money."

My heart sank, and I asked, "How long has he been doing this?"

Pan Xiaoqin thought for a moment and said, "Probably over a month? Anyway, I want to buy shares, but he won't let me."

"How are you trying to buy in?"

"By lending him money," Pan Xiaoqin said seriously. "I'm lending him money according to everyone else's rules, buying shares at ten yuan a share. He takes everyone else's money, but he just won't take mine. Tell me, Brother, isn't he bullying me?"

My heart grew even heavier. Qian Youyu's approach made me feel as if a hundred-pound iron hammer were hanging in my chest, so heavy that it made it difficult for me to breathe.

"Don't be anxious for now," I comforted her. "Wait until I return from the province; I'll make a trip to Suxi Town and see."

"Brother, then it's a deal!" Pan Xiaoqin said happily. "As long as you show your face, old Qian will have to obediently let me buy shares."

I sighed, thinking to myself, aren't you afraid this money will be thrown down the drain?

Seeing that I had agreed to go to Suxi Town, Pan Xiaoqin's previous gloom vanished. She shouted toward Meizhu in the room, "Meizhu, I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense. You can hit me."

Xi Meizhu came out of the room holding Niannian. Without even looking at Pan Xiaoqin, she said, "Why would I hit you? You didn't say anything wrong; it's just that I didn't do well myself."

Pan Xiaoqin smiled awkwardly. She rummaged through her pocket for a while, took out a carton of cigarettes, and placed it on the table. "Brother, I came in such a hurry that I didn't buy anything for my little nephew. Next time, I will definitely buy something delicious for him." She paused, her eyes drifted to Huang Weiwei, and after looking for a few moments, she sighed and said, "If I had half the beauty and class of sister-in-law, I would die content."

After saying this, she bowed to Xi Meizhu and said, "Meizhu, no matter what, we are both from Suxi. You have to forgive me!"

Before Xi Meizhu could speak, Pan Xiaoqin had already swirled to the door like a gust of wind, pulled it open, and left without looking back.

We were stunned for a long while by her actions, until Huang Weiwei sighed softly and said, "This girl has changed a lot." Only then did we snap out of it, look at each other, and smile.

The news brought by Pan Xiaoqin's arrival was no less than a thunderclap. I didn't show it in front of Huang Weiwei and Xi Meizhu precisely because I was afraid they would worry.

Once Pan Xiaoqin left, I also pushed aside my bowl and chopsticks, returned to the bedroom, and took out my phone to call my Aunt first.

My Aunt is now the general manager of my uncle's company, and the couple works together, husband singing and wife following. Their company has been upgraded to a group company, and when mentioning their company's name, quite a lot of people in Hengyue City know it.

As soon as the call connected, I asked impatiently, "Aunt, has your cooperation with Boss Qian Youyu been finalized?"

My Aunt didn't answer my question, but instead asked when I had returned and why I hadn't told her.

I said, "I was just on a business trip, nothing major."

My Aunt scolded me, "Who says it's not major? You are the pillar of the family. If you aren't home, how can everyone not worry?"

I laughed, "Aunt, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. No matter what, I'm a high-level cadre in Hengyue City now."

My Aunt asked with pleasant surprise, "Xiao Feng, you've been promoted?"

I said with a smile, "It should be about right. If nothing unexpected happens, by the time I return from the province this time, the appointment documents should have arrived."

My Aunt congratulated me, "Xiao Feng, I knew you were good! What was it you asked me about just now?"

I said, "About your cooperation with Qian Youyu."

"We stopped talking about that long ago!"

My heart dropped, but in an instant, it rose back to my throat. My Aunt wouldn't be involved in this fundraising case, but if Qian Youyu were to have an accident, could I still be at ease?
