Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 188 The Big Trouble
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and pulled up a chair, then sat there with his arms and legs stretched out. Since he wanted to play, he might as well have fun.
Zhou Dongsheng suddenly became interested and wanted to see how this play would be performed.
Do you really think that this is still the era of distribution based on noise? Everything is bound to be reasonable. Zhou Dongsheng asked himself if he had done it with a clear conscience and left Xuhui with enough face.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't care whether Zhang Xuhui did it on purpose or not regarding Uncle Xuhui's arrogant behavior today. Since it had become known to everyone in the company, he would just deal with it himself.
"You are my elder, so I still have the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young. However, respecting the old and loving the young means respecting virtuous elders and caring for polite younger generations. Obviously, you are not in this group, so I won't be polite."
Zhou Dongsheng sat there and spoke slowly.
"Since you've brought this to the company, this matter can't be handled privately. So I'll talk about this matter properly and let everyone judge for themselves."
"I personally invested 1 million yuan to establish this company. Considering that we started the business together and were classmates, I gave 10% of the shares to Zhang Xuhui."
"Later, when the business started to pick up, Zhang Xuhui's family wanted more shares and invested money. I gave him an extra 10% of the shares for Zhang Xuhui's sake."
Zhou Dongsheng told the whole story. In fact, no matter how you look at this matter, Zhou Dongsheng is on an invincible moral high ground, so what is there to be afraid of?
"Because of my unconditional trust in Zhang Xuhui, I was relieved to let him manage the company while I was busy with my own business outside. I didn't expect that when I came back this time, I found out..."
"After discussing with Xuhui, he is willing to transfer his shares for free in exchange for me not pursuing his responsibility. After all, we are classmates, so we should part ways amicably. I also agree to settle the matter privately in this way."
"Since you are not satisfied, Uncle Xuhui, how about we call the police and let them handle it?"
Zhou Dongsheng looked at Uncle Xuhui with interest, wanting to see what choice he would make, but unexpectedly Uncle Xuhui revealed a meaningful smile.
"Okay, call the police! I want to see how you can come up with 1 million yuan at such a young age. It's not easy for your divorced mother to raise you, and how can she save so much money for you to start a business?"
Uncle Xuhui was extremely excited. He was indeed a young man. He accidentally let the cat out of the bag and exposed his flaws. He was caught by himself.
In his heart, he was very sure that Zhou Dongsheng didn't dare to call the police, and he must be bluffing, because the 1 million yuan came from an unknown source! How could Zhou Dongsheng, who was so poor and young, come up with 1 million yuan?
The employees who were listening had already understood the reason why Zhang Xuhui left the company after hearing Zhou Dongsheng's narration. No company would sit idly by and watch such corrupt behavior for personal gain.
And Zhou Dongsheng's handling of the case was already lenient, which can be regarded as an act of winning people over with virtue. He is worthy of being a big boss and has a very broad mind.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Xuhui had a blind spot and pointed out the only flaw in this statement: where did the 1 million come from?
Although Zhou Dongsheng didn't need to explain, if the money really came from illegal sources... would Zhou Dongsheng dare to call the police?
Zhou Dongsheng's face darkened, as if he had been poked in the sore spot. Uncle Xuhui became more and more proud, and laughed arrogantly: "Call the police, why don't you call the police?"
Zhou Dongsheng was really angry this time because Uncle Xuhui had provoked him again and again, even bringing up his old mother. The disdain was even more disgusting.
Zhou Dongsheng's repeated concessions and generosity are a sign of his kindness out of consideration for their old friendship, but this is not a reason to take advantage of others.
But let's talk about the matter. After all, he is Xuhui's uncle. Zhou Dongsheng called Xuhui and said, "Your uncle came to the company and made a big scene . There is no way to settle this matter today. Please come over."
"I'm sorry, Brother Sheng, I'll be there right away! I'll take care of this matter." Zhang Xuhui said anxiously. Why is this uncle so worrying?
Why did they bring the matter to the company? I didn’t know they were right.
People fight for their dignity and trees live for their skin. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Although Zhou Dongsheng was not afraid of calling the police, he did not forget his original intention, and the condition of buying back Zhang Xuhui's shares free of charge was to not pursue the matter.
Zhou Dongsheng would not go back on his word, but he had to bear this grudge himself.
"You don't need to worry about how I got my money, and I don't need to report to you. If you have the ability to find some evidence, go ahead."
"But there is solid evidence in Xuhui's case. If you really call the police, you'll probably have to spend a few years in prison. You should weigh the probabilities yourself. If you want to call the police, go ahead. I believe Xuhui will thank you for being such a good uncle."
After Zhou Dongsheng finished the call , he said to Uncle Xuhui.
"Don't scare me, I'm not afraid, just call the police!" Uncle Xuhui was not panicked at all. He took out his mobile phone proudly and actually dialed the police number.
"Hey, I want to call the police..." Uncle Xuhui said righteously, and at the same time exaggerated the matter as if Zhou Dongsheng was a criminal who had done all kinds of evil.
At this time, Zhang Xuhui hurried over. When he saw his uncle, he shouted with a headache: "Uncle, why are you here? Stop making trouble and go back."
"Don't be afraid, nephew. I've already called the police. They'll investigate this brat. He must have a bad background."
Uncle Xuhui's thoughts got stuck in a dead end, and he spoke in a daze.
"Uncle! Are you going to send your nephew to jail?!" Zhang Xuhui was horrified. Call the police? Wouldn't he be finished?
"It's okay, nephew. Your problem is not serious. I have connections with you. I want to see where this kid got 1 million yuan to start a business at such a young age. It must be..."
Uncle Xuhui was still self-righteous and gave a very logical analysis, as if he had already made a final conclusion to the matter.
This is sometimes how people perceive things. Once they fall into the trap of self-righteousness, it is easy to make one mistake after another and go down a dead end.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people being deceived, or doing stupid .
Things that seem clear to others are often difficult to see when you are in the situation.
Just as the saying goes, "Those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly", this is probably what it means.
Gu Town is only a small place, and soon the sound of sirens came from far away, and Xuhui's face turned pale.
"Uncle, please stop making a fuss. If this gets out of hand, I'll be finished..."
"It's not too late to regret now. Making a false police report will only result in administrative penalties, such as a fine and administrative detention. But embezzlement is different."
Zhou Dongsheng didn't expect Uncle Xuhui to be so rude, so he gave him a friendly reminder.
At this time, a group of people in police uniforms walked in with serious expressions.
"Who called the police?"
Uncle Xuhui raised his hand proudly, "I, police comrade, I reported it! It's this person, you must investigate carefully, there must be something wrong!"
Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly, "Comrade police, I am willing to cooperate with the investigation. I am innocent."
