Zhuang Dahai and Chang Hui each had their own selfish desires and were not suitable to stay together. It was better for them to get divorced.
Zhuang Li thus didn’t say a word of persuasion. He patted his old father on the shoulder and said softly, “Dad, I will buy you a villa later. You wait at home.”
“Hey, how about I accompany you to the company?” Zhuang Dahai stood up worriedly.
“No, I can do it.” Zhuang Li walked to the entrance, fixed his hair in front of the mirror, took out a small tube of perfume, sprayed it in the air, and then walked over.
Chang Hui curled her lips and sneered: “Humph, you’re still dressing up when you’re about to die!”
“My son is handsome, so he has to dress up. What? Come on, I want to divorce you! When you brought Chang Dongming to marry me, I helped you pay off a debt of 80,000 yuan. Why didn’t you say I was too kind at that time? It’s okay to spend money on you and Chang Dongming, but not on my son, right? You have to understand clearly that if it weren’t for me, you and your son wouldn’t even have a place to live, and Chang Dongming wouldn’t be able to go to such a good university. Why are you still not satisfied?”
The noisy sound came from behind and disappeared outside the closed elevator door.
Zhuang Li stood in the middle of the elevator, adjusting his tie facing the smooth metal wall, completely ignoring the looks of pity or contempt from the people around him.
At eight fifty, he walked into the company slowly.
The few employees who had not yet resigned all stood up and looked at him eagerly.
One of the female staff members pointed in the direction of the reception room and said timidly, “Boss Zhuang, Boss Xuan from Haiming Group came early in the morning and has been waiting for you for more than fifty minutes. Please go in quickly!”
She had lived for more than 20 years, but this was the first time she had seen such a big shot. You know, Haiming Group was a giant in the communications field!
“Mr. Zhuang, what is Mr. Xuan here for?” another employee asked anxiously.
Zhuang Li waved his hand without answering, but quickly explained, “I sent a text message to the creditors yesterday, asking them to come over at nine o’clock to get the money. You are responsible for receiving them.”
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and said to Xuan Ming who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, “Sit down and wait for a while. I have something to take care of.”
“It’s okay, go ahead and do your work.” Xuan Ming didn’t mind being ignored by the little curly-haired boy. As long as he could stay in the same place with him and be close enough, he felt at ease.
“I’ll be there soon.” Zhuang Li closed the door of the reception room and walked towards the president’s office.
Several employees were confused by him. The boss went back to the office to take care of official business, leaving Mr. Xuan to continue sitting on the bench. Wasn’t this bad?
At this moment, the company’s vice president Feng Bai also walked in with a briefcase, pushed open the door of the president’s office, and asked loudly: “Zhuang Li, I heard that you are going to pay back the creditors today?”
“Close the door.” Zhuang Li said in a light tone.
Feng Bai closed the door, walked to the sofa and sat down, saying with a guilty look on his face: “If I hadn’t been so aggressive, the company wouldn’t be in this state. I invested in that technology at the beginning, accounting for 25%. Now that the company is bankrupt, the biggest responsibility lies with me, and I don’t want these shares anymore…”
Zhuang Li interrupted his hypocritical words: “You were not too aggressive, you were doing it on purpose. The company has just started, there is no need to spend tens of millions to buy high-end production equipment, nor is there any need to raise funds to expand the business. It is safest to take it step by step. Private financing is illegal, don’t you know?”
“You also agreed to the financing at the beginning.” Feng Bai slowly put away the guilt on his face.
“I agreed because I trust your ability, but I didn’t expect that your purpose was not to start a business with me, but to bankrupt me. How did I offend Tu Si that he would be so deliberate in dealing with me? What benefits did he give you?” Zhuang Li asked straight to the point.
Feng Bai’s face changed slightly, and then he calmed down. “Did you investigate me? But even if you know the truth, it’s useless. We were very cautious, and you can’t get any evidence. All the contracts are signed by you, and the legal consequences are borne by you alone. What does it have to do with me? I didn’t embezzle a penny from the company. I worked for you for a year for nothing. What else do you want?”
Feng Bai took out an employment contract and sneered, “See? You still owe me 350,000 yuan in salary.”
Zhuang Li did not get any evidence, just a few screenshots of chats, and then he threw out a contract: “This is a voluntary agreement to give up shares, please sign it. If you bankrupt me, Tu Si will give you more benefits.”
The company had already gone bankrupt, so Feng Bai certainly wouldn’t be attached to these shares and signed immediately.
At this time, there was a noisy sound outside. It was the financiers coming.
Zhuang Li took the people to the conference room, took out a thick stack of contracts, and said concisely: “Now I give you two choices: First, take the principal, no interest; second, keep the principal in the company account, and I will calculate shares for you according to the amount. After one year, if the company makes a profit, you will get the dividends you deserve.”
The noisy crowd fell silent for a moment.
Chang Hui, who was surrounded by several young ladies, screamed, “Don’t believe his lies! He even sold his house to raise 8 million. If you don’t take the money today, you won’t get it in the future! He is lying to you!”
“What? He has eight million? Why doesn’t he pay us back now?”
“Eight million is not enough for him to pay back! We have financed him with tens of millions in total!”
A group of people went crazy and rushed to the stage with their teeth bared, as if they wanted to tear Zhuang Li to pieces.
Feng Bai stood at the door of the conference room, took a picture of the messy scene with his mobile phone, and then sent it to his real boss Tu Si.
In order to destroy Zhuang Li, Tu Si transferred him back from overseas and set up such a trap. But he couldn’t understand why the other party would spend so much energy to deal with a small person.
Zhuang Li was stupid and conceited, and there was really nothing special about him.
The little man Zhuang Li was standing on the podium at this time, and he sneered and said, “Do you know what it means when a person dies and his debts are wiped out? If I jump from here, you will get nothing.”
The creditors, having long heard the news of his failed suicide attempt, were so agitated that they froze in their places.
“Those who want to get the principal, please sign the contract on the left. Those who want to continue to invest, please sign the contract on the right. After signing, I will take you to the finance office to collect the money.” Zhuang Li pointed at the two stacks of contracts on the table with his slender fingertips.
Everyone’s eyes were on the contract on the left. They just wanted to get their principal back and didn’t want to continue investing.
This kind of small company had no future at first glance! Was it so easy to produce high-end mobile phones? They were fooled by Feng Bai’s mouth but they were only lies to raise funds.
“I’ll sign the contract on the left!”
“Me too!”
“Bring me a pen! Let’s sign!”
“What if you don’t pay after I sign?”
“Let me see. This contract is acceptable. I’m willing to give up the interest. If I lose the interest, I lose it. It’s good to get my principal back!”
After hearing what the knowledgeable person said, the other creditors crowded to the left side of the long table to get the contract.
