Chapter 266: A dark and windy night, a lonely man and a widow
The villas in Bi Hai Long Ting are well-known in the circle, not to mention that the villa chosen by Lu Yiming is one of the best villas in Bi Hai Long Ting.
Although Qin Sulan also lives in a high-end residential area, it cannot be compared with the Bi Hai Long Ting.
Lu Yiming opened the door of the villa, and suddenly all the lights in the villa lit up one after another, from near to far, which was very ceremonial.
The luxurious furnishings in the villa amazed Qin Sulan, who lived a wealthy life.
"Handsome guy, have you been living here alone?" Qin Sulan took off her high heels and walked in wearing only stockings.
Lu Yiming said calmly: "Come and stay here occasionally."
Qin Sulan was shocked when she heard this, and then she couldn't help asking, "Do you have many more villas like this?"
Lu Yiming chuckled indifferently: "Not many, just a few sets."
To Qin Sulan, these words sounded too Versailles.
Ignoring Qin Sulan's envious and jealous look, Lu Yiming came to the living room, pointed at the leather sofa and said, "Sit down. Coffee or tea? Or mineral water?"
Qin Sulan was also calming down at this time. When she looked at Lu Yiming's handsome face, her eyes lit up and her expression was charming: "The night is long, of course we have to drink."
Lu Yiming took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, while Qin Sulan looked around with envy.
"Handsome Lu, do you feel lonely waking up from such a big villa every day? How about I stay here with you tonight?"
As Qin Sulan spoke, she had already consciously taken off her coat, revealing her white and tender shoulders and collarbones.
Lu Yiming took out two crystal glasses, poured two glasses of red wine, then sat opposite Qin Sulan and said calmly: "I asked you to come here today because I want to talk to you about something."
Qin Sulan flirted with Lu Yiming, lifted her skirt with her left hand, climbed her stocking-clad feet onto Lu Yiming's instep, and said charmingly, "It's late at night, what's there to talk about? You should do something you like first, and enjoy life to the fullest."
Lu Yiming did not dodge Qin Sulan's actions, but he was calm inside because he knew very well the consequences of being impulsive - and he did not have the habit of eating other people's leftovers.
A capable man will not eat the leftovers of others.
And he is a mysophobe.
Certain aspects.
"You misunderstood. I didn't bring you here today for that kind of thing."
Qin Sulan laughed sweetly: "You men, you all say one thing and mean another. You bring a woman home late at night. If it's not for that kind of thing, what else could it be for? You can't go through so much trouble just to chat with me, right?"
Lu Yiming smiled and looked at Qin Sulan deeply: "You are right, I just want to talk to you tonight, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Qin Sulan was stunned, and then became very angry: "Are you kidding me?"
Lu Yiming said slowly, "Please be patient. I make hundreds of thousands of dollars a minute. Why would I waste my time teasing you? I have called you here for a reason."
Qin Sulan was so angry that her chest was heaving. She could tell that the man in front of her really had no interest in her at all. It was simply weird. Could he be a eunuch? Or was he a homosexual?
But after thinking about it, Qin Sulan felt even more excited.
Fortunately, Lu Yiming didn’t know what she was thinking, otherwise he would definitely not be able to remain calm.
Lu Yiming picked up the red wine in front of him, gestured to Qin Sulan, and then said, "You gave birth to a son for Shi Caijiang when you were less than 20 years old. Although your material life has been enriched a lot compared to your previous job as a company receptionist, I guess your spiritual life must be a lot more empty, right?"
Lu Yiming revealed Qin Sulan's identity in just one sentence, letting Qin Sulan know that Lu Yiming came prepared.
Qin Sulan sighed, because what Lu Yiming said was true.
I used to work as a receptionist. Although my life was very hard, at least I still had hope for the future. I chatted with my colleagues in the company and went shopping together after get off work. I dreamed of falling in love and finding someone I loved to spend the rest of my life with. It can be said that my life was fulfilling.
However, she had no choice but to follow Shi Caijiang and became the canary he kept in a cage. All her life revolved around Shi Caijiang. She gave birth to a son for him and had to rack her brains every day to think of ways to please him.
Although she has now become a senior executive of the company, there is no one to chat or go shopping with anymore, and people gossip about her behind her back every day. The psychological pressure is so great that Qin Sulan becomes increasingly depressed.
However, facing a stranger like Lu Yiming, Qin Sulan did not show her weak side. Instead, she raised her chin provocatively and looked into his eyes without showing any fear: "Yes, sister is lonely and empty. Tonight, I need my brother's comfort."
Lu Yiming didn't respond to Qin Sulan's words at all, but continued, "I can help you get rid of Shi Caijiang while maintaining your current comfortable life."
When Qin Sulan heard this, although she concealed the expression on her face very well, the hand holding the red wine was still shaking slightly, showing her true feelings at the moment.
Of course she doesn't like Shi Caijiang!
But does she have a choice?
From the moment she gave birth to Meng Yang, she had no choice!
She hated Shi Caijiang, so she spent Shi Caijiang's money ruthlessly and cheated on him.
A full ten years!
Although she hated Shi Caijiang, she could no longer live without him.
Because the wealth will give her a rich and comfortable life!
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. No matter how much she hates Shi Caijiang now, she cannot leave him. Instead, she must continue to depend on him in order to continue to enjoy everything she already has.
However, Lu Yiming's words made her uneasy.
Can you continue to live a comfortable life and get rid of the current financial generals?
Is there such a good thing?
Qin Sulan knew that pie wouldn't fall from the sky for no reason, so she quickly calmed down: "So, you asked me to come here today to help you deal with General Shi Cai?"
Lu Yiming joked, "You are so beautiful, are you really willing to be a mistress?"
Qin Sulan's eyes turned cold after hearing this, and she said with a frosty face: "Why not? Besides, even if she is a mistress, as long as she has the means, it is not impossible for her to sit on the throne of the queen."
Lu Yiming thought of Shi Qingxue, then shook his head slightly and said with certainty: "It is absolutely impossible, at least you don't."
Qin Sulan felt that Lu Yiming was denying her ability, and immediately said angrily: "Why do you say it's impossible?"
Lu Yiming said slowly: "Because, I don't allow it."
Qin Sulan was stunned when she heard such overbearing words. She wanted to mock him, but when she saw Lu Yiming's deep eyes, calm expression, and even calm tone... For some reason, Qin Sulan felt that the young man in front of her could definitely do what he said, as if he was born to be a superior person who had the final say.
Lu Yiming's indifferent eyes fell on Qin Sulan: "All you want is money. Help me to incriminate Shi Caijiang and collect evidence of his asset transfer. After that, the villa registered in your name by Shi Caijiang will belong to you, and I will also give you another three million in cash."
In this era, three million in cash is definitely not a small sum.
Not to mention there is also a villa.
However, Qin Sulan was very rational - or she knew how to calculate the account very well: "I pointed out to him that you can give me so much, but you will definitely get more than me. If I marry Shi Caijiang, I will get more than this, so why should I agree?"
Qin Sulan's refusal did not surprise Lu Yiming. He just glanced at the woman in front of him and said coldly: "A bird in the hand is worse than a hundred birds in the forest. Whatever falls into your hands is yours. Otherwise, no matter how good or how much, it is just a mirage, visible but not tangible. Believe me, if you marry Shi Caijiang, you will have nothing."
Qin Sulan has already seen clearly that Lu Yiming and Shi Caijiang must have grievances and are most likely competitors. And judging from what Lu Yiming showed today, Lu Yiming - or the forces represented by Lu Yiming - are much stronger than Shi Caijiang.
What's more, Qin Sulan is a shrewd woman. She just said that she could get more, but she just wanted to bargain.
Even though she is now the general manager of Shiyun's trading company, she is actually just a figurehead. All the company's orders are assets secretly transferred out by Shi Caijiang who deliberately bleeds the original company. All the money is tightly held in Shi Caijiang's hands and never falls into her hands.
It may seem like a glorious time, but in fact it may be brought down to dust in the blink of an eye.
Shi Caijiang could even betray his own wife, so how could he trust her as a mistress?
But people are always greedy, not to mention that Qin Sulan felt that she had suffered such a great injustice and had endured Shi Caijiang for so many years, how could she not receive compensation?
Qin Sulan thought for a moment and said, "A villa, plus 10 million in cash. And my son has to follow me."
Faced with Qin Sulan's price increase, Lu Yiming agreed without thinking: "Okay, I'm the easiest person to talk to. One million or ten million doesn't make any difference to me."
Anyway, in the end, all the money will be paid by that unlucky father-in-law, so I don’t have to pay out of my own pocket.
As for his father-in-law's illegitimate son, he didn't care about him at all. It was still unclear whether Shi Qingxue would recognize this cheap brother-in-law.
Now that the price has been agreed upon, it’s time to state the terms: “So, what do you need me to do?”
Lu Yiming threw out a folder: "It's all written in there, take a look for yourself."
…
Shi Jin Ji Food Company.
Chairman's Office.
General Manager Lei Peilin walked in with a stack of documents: "Director Shi, I found that there is a problem with the factory's accounts. In the past year, we have purchased a lot of inexplicable things, and there are also problems with the raw materials."
Shi Caijiang didn't take it seriously and asked with a smile, "What happened that made the usually calm Lao Lei so flustered?"
Lei Peilin frowned slightly and reminded, "Boss Shi, there is a batch of syrups of very average quality, but they were purchased at the highest price for raw materials. I suspect that some purchasing staff took kickbacks from them."
Shi Caijiang was visibly stunned after hearing this, then he shook his head in a low and cheerful voice: "How is it possible? The one in charge of purchasing is Lao Lu, a brother who worked with us from the bottom. How could there be a problem? See if there is a problem in other links."
Lei Peilin is the general manager of Shijinji and one of the founders who followed Shi Caijiang to start the company. He has made great contributions to the company and has deep feelings for the company. Seeing that Shi Caijiang did not believe his speculation, he became anxious and said with rapid breathing: "Mr. Shi, there is one more thing. The recent purchase of raw materials has obviously exceeded the daily consumption. If this continues, the company's capital chain will definitely have problems. And the warehousing link will also be overloaded. If this continues, there will be big problems."
Shi Caijiang slowly explained to Lei Peilin: "The purchase quantity is large because the company wants to expand the scale of production. If we don't stock up more now, how can we make a lot of money during the Chinese New Year? We produce candy, and the Chinese New Year and other festivals are the peak sales season. You can't have forgotten this, right?"
After he finished speaking, Shi Caijiang immediately stood up and walked out in a hurry: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave work first. Lao Lei, I see your loyalty to the company, and I also know that you are doing this for the good of the company. But don't be suspicious, it's not good for your health."
Lei Peilin watched the fat Shi Caijiang twisting his body as he left the office, thinking about what Shi Caijiang had just said. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was fishy. He immediately left the office, went to the purchasing department, and found Lu Qinghe.
"Lao Lu, why did you buy syrup of average quality at the highest price? Did you take kickbacks?"
When Lu Qinghe heard this, he was immediately very angry. He stared at Lei Peilin and said loudly, "Old Lei, please stop slandering me! When did I take kickbacks? You have to provide evidence when you speak."
Lei Peilin said confidently: "I don't have any evidence, but there is indeed a problem with the purchase order! You are the boss of the company's purchasing department! Shijinji has grown from a food factory with only a dozen people to a scale of thousands of people now. Do you know how much effort we have put in? Now there are termites who want to destroy the company, I will never agree!"
Lu Qinghe became even angrier: "You f*cking thought I agreed? What good would it do me if the company was gone? Although I was in charge of purchasing, and I would occasionally do some shopping, I had never done anything to let the company down. Moreover, those orders were all personally ordered by President Shi, and I just followed his instructions. I couldn't make any decisions at all."
Lei Peilin felt something was wrong when he heard this: "What did you say? Was it Mr. Shi who made the decision? Were all those things bought under Mr. Shi's order?"
Lu Qinghe was not stupid either, he immediately understood what was going on: "What do you mean?"
Lei Peilin couldn't wait to say, "No, I have to confirm it carefully."
…
The Shi family mansion.
In the elegantly decorated restaurant, there was a long mahogany dining table, but at this moment, there were only four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, with a pot of longan and black chicken soup in the middle.
Shi Qingxue and Su Yunjin sat facing each other.
Shi Qingxue asked in a low voice: "Dad didn't come back tonight again?"
Su Yunjin was about to cry, but she still tried to stay calm and smiled: "He must have been out for a social event, so he didn't come back. Let's eat first."
"oh."
Shi Qingxue knew that Shi Caijiang would definitely go to find that woman again.
Sometimes she thought, if only she were a boy, then her father might not go out to look for other women.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Shi Qingxue said expectantly, "Is Dad back?"
Su Yunjin had already dropped the dishes and chopsticks: "I'll go open the door."
When I opened the door, I found a stranger standing there.
"Who are you?"
"Director Su, I'm Lao Lei from Shi Jin Ji."
