"So many things happened in this month..." Li Qingye looked at the ceiling with uncertain eyes.
Even though he didn't understand the company's business, he felt something was wrong. Xinxin Group was founded by his father, and Li Qingye knew a lot of things. For example, the basic model of Xinxin Company was similar to Huawei, which was also one of his father's insistence.
As he carefully recalled some of his past memories, his brows furrowed even more.
Xinxin is not a monolithic organization. From his parents' previous words, he knew that among the dozen or so partners, some wanted to stick to the old model, some wanted to keep up with the times and push the company to go public for financing, and some were wavering.
If his father had taken the initiative to change all this, Li Qingye would not be surprised.
But why was it at this time that such a huge change occurred in the company after the sudden death of his father, who had always insisted on not going public, not raising funds, and allowing employee shareholding?
This made him unable to help but let his imagination run wild.
I also remembered that after my eldest brother joined the company, he always agreed with my father's business model.
In 2014, my eldest brother was crushed to death by steel bars while inspecting a construction site...
This year, my parents went to Shanghai to discuss business, but they were hit by a dump truck and fell into the Huangpu River...
Then there was a rapid reshuffle within the Xinxin Group, and even the company's foundation was changed...
Gurgle... Li Qingye swallowed involuntarily, cold sweat soaking his back. All this was too coincidental, as if there was an invisible black hand shrouding the Li family's misfortune.
Looking at the photos on the page of his mobile phone, showing the founders of Xinxin Group, Li Qingye's eyes flashed with scrutiny, suspicion, hatred, anger and powerlessness.
He closed the page on his phone and leaned against the pillow.
Even if he guessed that the mastermind was among those people, what else could he do at this moment? If he lost his mind and exposed this matter, he would definitely be the one to die.
The other party doesn't take action now because his parents have just passed away. If Li Qingye also dies "accidentally" at this time, the group of people in the company who belong to his father will definitely be grief-stricken.
The other party needs time to devour the Xinxin Group and also needs time to clean up its internal affairs.
Just wait a few years, when you have been forgotten by the company, the other party has completely taken control of the company, and there is no news about you in the society, you can arrange an "accident" to completely exit the company.
Thinking of this, a chilling fear involuntarily surged into my heart.
"No... I cannot accept such an abject death..."
Li Qingye roared in his heart with unwillingness. If he had lost all desire to live before, then at this moment, his heart was filled with hatred. He could not give up his life before avenging his parents and elder brother. This deep hatred became Li Qingye's motivation to live.
Countless thoughts are colliding in my mind.
He knew that his current situation was extremely dangerous. The evildoer who stole from Xinxin Company was not a good person. Once he showed any signs of being wrong, it was very likely that the other party would want to wipe him out immediately.
Continuing to act crazy and stupid in Gaoshansi Village is probably just chronic suicide.
As long as Li Qingye is alive, he will become an obstacle for those guys to control Xinxin Company. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, he is just a young boy and is not to be feared at all.
Just because he doesn't show any threat doesn't mean he isn't a threat. His mere existence is a threat.
Put yourself in his shoes. If you were the mastermind behind this, the simplest solution would be to physically destroy Li Qingye. Not only would you be able to strike at the remnants of the Li family, you could also take over the 5.8% of the company's shares in Li Qingye's name.
If other solutions are adopted, not only will it be easy to cause more trouble, but it will also be easy to cause unnecessary complications.
Li Qingye was thinking hard about how to break the impasse.
Doing nothing now, or acting crazy and stupid in the village, is not an option.
Going back to Pengcheng immediately and relying on the remnants of the Li family to fight against Du Shuping and others would probably be disastrous, because he could not judge who was loyal to his father and the Li family, and he could not beat even ten of those old foxes in their intrigues.
After thinking about it, a hint of madness suddenly flashed in Li Qingye's eyes.
Retreat means death.
Going in means death.
The only option now is to risk one's life and then survive.
After making up his mind, he reorganized the available resources at his disposal according to his own ideas.
Personal savings of 1.37 million yuan, a 148-square-meter commercial house near Jiangcheng University, Caixin Cosmetics Company (which owns a biochemical laboratory with an investment of 22 million yuan), and company working capital of 3.72 million yuan.
Parents’ savings, real estate and company stocks, among which stocks cannot be touched casually, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of Du Shuping and others.
Damn it! Li Qingye clenched his fists. You know, the total assets of Xinxin Group are as high as hundreds of billions. His parents' 5.8% original shares are worth at least more than 7 billion.
But at this point he could only swallow his anger.
The 5.8% stake in the company was like a death warrant to him at that moment.
Since he cannot use the shares of Xinxin Company, it is estimated that the other inheritance of his parents cannot be dealt with casually in the short term.
After thinking about it all night, he fell into a deep sleep the next morning.
Until April 26th.
Li Qingye said goodbye to his seventh uncle with a depressed look on his face, and then called Wu Heguang.
"Uncle Wu..."
"Qingye, are you planning to go back to Pengcheng? Uncle has cleaned a room for you and is waiting for you to come back." Wu Heguang said kindly.
Li Qingye's voice was still weak: "No, I plan to go to America for an academic visit with my supervisor, and I may not return to China this year."
"..." Wu Heguang on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then gently comforted him: "That's good, go and relax, Lao Su and I are here at the company. By the way, I have some old friends in America, and I can arrange for you to study business administration at the University of Pennsylvania. Later..."
Before the other party finished speaking, Li Qingye refused: "Thank you, Uncle Wu, but I just want to follow my mentor to America to see if biology is more suitable for me."
"Okay then! When you get there, call me. If you need any money, don't be polite to your uncle."
"Got it, Uncle Wu, I'm hanging up now."
After hanging up the phone, he pulled his suitcase, got on a tricycle, and headed to the bus station in Qingshanqiao Town.
For future safety reasons, for the rest of his trip, he can only try to take crowded buses, high-speed trains and planes. As for taxis and private cars, he will not take them until he has a reliable team.
After all, in this country, those guys would be somewhat wary of public transportation with heavy passenger flow.
By doing this, Li Qingye was taking advantage of other passengers to make them hesitate .
It is also true that he followed his supervisor abroad. After all, his supervisor is one of the top scholars in China, and he has an academician teacher above him.
As long as he doesn't immediately show his desire for revenge, the other party will most likely consider the risk of accidentally hurting a well-known scientist.
As long as Li Qingye stays with his mentor, his safety will be much higher at least in the short term.
