Chapter 44 Devil

The sweet days always pass very quickly, and the National Day is less than a week after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Last time Zhong Lin agreed to Yan Zhengming to accompany him on a trip on National Day.

Yan Zhengming's tickets are all booked, to go to Germany, he wants to take Zhong Lin to the place where he studied and started his business in the past few years, and he wants to make up for the regrets of those more than three years, and he can also play around in Europe by the way.

I don't think the plan can keep up with the changes.

Two days before leaving, Lin Jiasheng, vice president of Li'an Technology Group, was exposed to be suspected of insider trading.

It is said that he used his position to obtain insider information of the group a few months ago, and then bought a large amount of group stocks by manipulating third-party institutions before the suspension of the group's restructuring.

The news spread like wildfire and soon made the news. Although the group issued a statement and disclosed information in time, the incident continued to intensify.

Obviously, someone behind the scenes is using public opinion to create momentum to expand their influence.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission issued a supervisory letter that afternoon to find someone to talk to and investigate.

This kind of thing was actually not a big deal to Li'an in the past. If there was no problem in itself, as long as the explanation was reasonable, the evidence was sufficient, and the public relations were handled properly, it might be possible to make a wave of publicity.

But it just happened that this kind of thing broke out at the final stage of Zhongqing's listing. The uniform press releases all mentioned the progress of the merger and reorganization of Zhongqing and Li'an, and even mentioned the compatibility and complementarity of the businesses of both parties. aspect was analyzed.

Outsiders can't see how tricky these operations are, but those in the center of the vortex can recall them after a little thought.

The targeting is too obvious.

If this matter is not handled properly, not to mention affecting the reputation of the company in the future, it may even lose everything.

Because once Zhongqing’s backdoor fails, it will not only mean that Yan Zhengming’s efforts for the past year will be in vain, but most importantly, they will face heavy financial losses, and it will also have a negative impact on the company’s subsequent operations. At that time, many good deals will be made Investment will also come to naught—ordinary people can't see the mystery and don't care, but investors can understand it, and they will naturally weigh the pros and cons.

The people behind the scenes are not trying to deal with Li'an. Their goal is Zhongqing, but unlike Li'an, Zhongqing's shareholding structure, personnel relationship, and business scope are relatively simple and much cleaner. It is difficult to find them in the short term. breakthrough.

In addition, the current actual controlling shareholder of Li'an has changed, and it has a relationship with Zhongqing that both prospers and loses. There must be a perfect solution to this matter.

As soon as Yan Zhengming received the news, he rushed to Hong Kong City to deal with the matter.

The overseas company he holds is the largest shareholder of Zhongqing, and Jiang Lian is the president of Zhongqing New Energy. They had doubts, and Jiang Lian wanted to stay and deal with them, but he couldn't leave, so Yan Zhengming had to lead others to deal with them.

Zhong Lin couldn't be of much help in this matter, and originally planned to go to Hong Kong City to accompany Yan Zhengming as soon as he was on vacation after finishing the work at hand.

As a result, Li'an hadn't settled yet, and something happened to Xingke again.

The day before the holiday, a public report material suddenly spread widely on the Internet and exploded on major new media platforms.

The whistleblower is Zhang Hui, the current wife of Tan Zhang, chairman of Yacheng Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

The content of the reported materials related to Xingke can be summed up as follows: Xingke Group signed several large fake orders with Yacheng Biology two years ago for financing needs and fraudulent financial affairs.

What's more interesting is that she also exposed her husband's life style, the most eye-popping of which is a photo of Su Xiaowen and Tan Zhang "dating" in private.

Tan Zhang is the "old friend" in Yan Tingxiang's mouth.

More than 30 years ago, he and Su Xiaowen had a marriage contract.

The grievances and hatreds in the capital market, after the piles are torn apart, the inside is dark and bloody.

Everyone loves to gossip, and the simple financial news is boring and boring, so no one reads it, but if rich and powerful gossip is added, and then people add fuel and vinegar to it later, the discussion of the topic will be tens of thousands of times higher in an instant.

The truth of the matter is still unknown, but the storm of public opinion has already caused Xingke to suffer. When the market closed that afternoon, the stock price fell by 9.86%, and the market value evaporated by more than one billion yuan.

If this matter is not resolved, Xingke's stock price will fall when the market opens after the festival.

On the evening of September 9, SZSE issued an inquiry letter to Xingke, asking Xingke to explain the sales contract with Yacheng in the past two years, and give an analysis and comparison of whether there have been significant changes in the sales contract amount in the past two years, etc. wait.

At the same time, it is required to check whether the company's controlling shareholders, directors, supervisors and senior executives have any associated relationship or other business relationship with Yacheng Biotech.

Xingke drafted the statement and announcement as quickly as possible, and then held a high-level conference call.

Zhong Lin only found out about this after get off work. He immediately called Su Xiaowen, but the line was busy all the time. He called Yan Zhengming again, but Yan Zhengming didn't answer, probably still working overtime.

He asked Xiao Wu to turn around and drive directly to Xihe Villa.

Su Xiaowen was at home, and she was a little relieved to see Zhong Lin coming, but her face remained calm.

Zhong Lin greeted him after entering the door, and wanted to ask about Xingke's situation for Yan Zhengming, but Su Xiaowen asked him first: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Zhong Lin said truthfully, "Not yet."

"Then let's eat first." Then he turned to Aunt Lin and said, "Ajuan, go get Zhong Lin something to eat, you know his taste and preferences better."

Their family eats dinner early, and everyone has finished eating by now, so they need to make it for Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin said, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, I can just cook some noodles and eat later."

"It won't be long." Su Xiaowen looked like she was okay, her tone was calm but still strong, "Go wash up and change into more comfortable clothes. After you left last time, I asked Aunt Lin to prepare your clothes. You go and see if it fits, if you don't like it, go back and tell Aunt Lin."

Zhong Lin was surprised and moved. He wanted to say something, but he was at a loss for words. In the end, he could only politely say: "You bother."

"Go ahead, you can eat after washing." Su Xiaowen's tone was rare and gentle.

Zhong Lin had no choice but to obediently go back to Yan Zhengming's room to take a shower first.

After returning to his room, he called Yan Zhengming again.

Yan Zhengming quickly picked up this time: "Honey, I was just about to call you."

"Do you know about Xingke?" Zhong Lin first told him what he knew, "Auntie seems to be fine, your father is dealing with things in the study, and I have come to Xihe Villa."

"I guess you will probably go." Yan Zhengming comforted him in turn, "I have already asked my mother about this matter, they can handle it, don't worry, although Xingke is not unique in the packaging industry, But the years have been quiet for so many years, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, and my mother has been doing finance for decades, and her reputation is well-known in the industry, so it will not be so unclear. The problem is that Xingke is more like a pond fish that has been affected, but because it is a listed company, it is more affected. What surprised me was the scandal between my mother and the chairman of Yacheng Biotechnology. I have never heard of it. But the two of them have a relationship other than work, and you said she was arguing for a divorce, so it doesn't really have something to do with that surname Tan?"

"You didn't ask her?"

"How dare I."

Zhong Lin made fun of him: "Hey, there are things that Boss Yan dare not."

"That's not true, not everyone is like you, and will tolerate my unrestrained speech." Yan Zhengming said, wanting to turn into a coquettish girl again, "Baby, I miss you so much."

"Then I'll go find you as soon as I've settled the matter here."

"No, I'll go back in a few days." Yan Zhengming said, "It's not peaceful here recently. I have a lot of things to do every day, so I can't take you all the way. If you don't follow me, I don't feel at ease."

There has been riots since the beginning of the year, and it is still uneasy until now. Some thugs have sabotaged democracy under the guise of "democracy" and destroyed tens of thousands of public properties. It is disgusting!

Zhong Lin thought about it for a while and felt that what he said made sense, and when he couldn't help, try not to make trouble.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back, and you should be safe."

"Don't worry, we can't get in touch with those people here, and besides, your husband's fist is not vegetarian."

"Go away, what time is it, you are still in the mood to joke." Zhong Lin said seriously, "Don't you think these things are too weird recently?"

Since the last time he was blocked by creditors in the company, the feeling has never stopped.

This time too, although what Zhang Hui reported was her husband's financial fraud, suspected commercial bribery, and occupational occupation, there was a feeling between the lines that Xingke was going to be dragged down.

Leaving aside whether Xingke's accounts are absolutely clean, it's puzzling just because of her troubles.

The two of them started a war, why did Raxenko come to back him up?

Taking a step back, Su Xiaowen really had some shady relationship with her husband in private, which caused their husband and wife to turn against each other. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they only take revenge on her husband and Su Xiaowen?

One must know that Xingke is not Su Xiaowen's Xingke alone. She dares to touch other people's cakes, isn't she afraid of being retaliated against?

What's more, Zhong Lin didn't believe that Su Xiaowen was that kind of person at all. If she could really let go, she wouldn't have tortured each other with Yan Tingxiang for so many years.

Coupled with the fact that public opinion spreads so fast, no matter how you look at it, it seems that someone is stirring up the muddy water behind.

Yan Zhengming said: "I've sent someone to check on the couple of Yacheng and Biology. As long as my mother is sure that there are no mistakes, the truth will definitely come to light in the end. You take good care of yourself. If you don't want to go back to Xihuatian these few days It’s okay for Xi to stay here, it’s all on vacation anyway.”

"Okay, then I'll stay here with Auntie for a few days." Zhong Lin asked again, "How is your side?"

"Don't worry, it will be done soon, it's not a big deal."

Zhong Lin didn't quite believe it: "Really?"

"Really." Yan Zhengming didn't want to worry him, so he changed the subject, "Are you upstairs?"

"Well, Auntie told me to come up and take a shower first, and she asked Aunt Lin to make dinner for me."

"You haven't had dinner yet." Yan Zhengming said, "Then go wash up, and eat after washing, I won't chat with you anymore."

"Okay, then I hang up."

"Go, bye."

"Goodbye, miss you."

"I miss you baby too."

"I'm hanging up."

"okay bye."

"Bye-Bye."

In the end, Zhong Lin hung up the phone first in the n voices of "goodbye".

It took him ten minutes to take a shower.

Aunt Lin had already prepared dinner for him when he went downstairs.

Su Xiaowen was on the phone all the time, so he didn't bother her anymore, and went to the small restaurant to eat alone.

When he finished eating, Su Xiaowen had already finished making calls, but she sat on the sofa and didn't leave, feeling as if she was waiting for him.

Zhong Lin walked over and wanted to sit on the single sofa diagonally opposite her, but she stopped her: "Come, sit here, let's chat."

"Do you have something to tell me?" Zhong Lin took a shower, dressed in casual attire, his hair fell down and covered most of his forehead, making his face even smaller, his peach eyes were dark and bright, like a student, The scent is clean and youthful.

Su Xiaowen's personality is very similar to Yang Yun's, strong but sensible, able to distinguish good from bad.

In the past, the position was different, and he was unwilling to accept Zhong Lin in his heart, so naturally he couldn't see Zhong Lin's goodness.

After accepting it now, she found that Zhong Lin was very measured in what he said and did. He looked cold and indifferent on the surface, but he was actually very caring and caring about people's emotions. His temper was more than a little bit better than Yan Zhengming's.

She asked: "I heard Yan Zhengming say that you proposed to him the other day?"

"He was in a bad mood last time, and I just made him happy." Zhong Lin's face was hot, a little shy, "He can tell you everything now."

"It's a big event in life. If he doesn't tell my mother, who will he tell? He told me to remind me to take some time to meet your mother. You two are going to get married, and the parents on both sides haven't met yet. Not quite right."

Su Xiaowen's tone was a little emotional: "Yan Zhengming has really changed a lot now, he knows how to care about other people's feelings, and he also knows how to beg me to learn to bow my head before asking me to do things for him. Zhong Lin, it was you who changed him .”

"He is very good, but he didn't find a way to get along with you before." Zhong Lin took the opportunity to be courteous to Yan Zhengming, "He has always cared about you, and just called to ask me to spend more time with you for him."

"I'm fine." Su Xiaowen didn't seem to want to bring up the report turmoil in front of him, and explained to Zhong Lin's hesitant expression, "Things that happen out of nothing, the truth will come to light sooner or later, don't worry. "

Although Zhong Lin had always believed in her, but now that she had personally confirmed it, he was finally willing to let go.

He didn't follow up to ask the reason, just said: "I don't seem to be able to help much."

"No need to help, someone is dealing with it. The news from the major media has been withdrawn, and a PR has been invited. They will take care of it."

Zhong Lin thinks about it too, such a big listed company, full of talents, has not seen such a big storm for so many years.

"That's good."

"I want to ask you, do you want to do it at home or abroad?"

"Do it? Have a wedding?"

"Yes, Yan Zhengming said that he wanted to hold a wedding for you."

"I didn't think about having a wedding. The main purpose of that day was to make him happy. For me, the support and blessings of family and friends are enough. Other forms really don't matter. And didn't you say before that don't say anything? "

"It was before, but now I have changed my mind." The pride in Su Xiaowen's bones did not allow her to explain more, "Besides, you are not ignorant of Yan Zhengming's temper. I can't stop him from deciding something."

Zhong Lin was a little dumbfounded.

"Then what good advice do you have?" Zhong Lin knew that he had no right to speak on this matter, so he quickly accepted this fact, not to mention that this matter itself is an exciting thing.

"It's still a little inconvenient in China. Most people can't accept it. The entertainment environment is not good. It makes people daydream if it's covered, but it's troublesome if it's open. You may have to be more free when you go abroad. Marriage is always a happy thing. Pick a better environment, and you can relax."

"We have no experience, so you can help us make up your mind."

"Aren't you going to discuss it with your mother?"

"No, my mother likes Yan Zhengming very much, she thinks we can do anything, and she's not very good at it."

"Then I'll go back and find someone to make a plan."

"Okay, thank you auntie."

Su Xiaowen looked at him lightly for a moment, and suddenly said: "When you get married later, it's time to change your mouth."

Zhong Lin was stunned, and felt embarrassed: "Okay."

While the two were chatting, Yan Sicheng suddenly rushed out of the elevator with a gloomy expression, he didn't say hello when he saw someone, and wanted to go to the garage.

Su Xiaowen frowned slightly, and stopped him: "Where are you going so late?"

In fact, it's not even nine o'clock, so it's not too late.

Usually when he goes out at this time, Su Xiaowen won't bother him at all, but in a special period, if he goes out and meets reporters or causes something to happen on impulse, wouldn't it be a mess.

Yan Sicheng had just quarreled with his father upstairs.

It was the first time since he grew up that his dad got so angry at him, because he was dissatisfied that his dad kept finding excuses for Su Xiaowen in the meeting, and when he came back to question his dad, he was scolded by his dad again. He even hit him with a cup!

The "culprit" who caused him to be scolded is still acting like a hypocritical parent at the moment. His heart is full of resentment, his nature is lost, and his tone is very bad: "You should take care of yourself."

The subtext is: Leave me alone!

Zhong Lin's face darkened, and he wanted to help, but Su Xiaowen was one step ahead of him: "Did you quarrel with your father?"

"Go and ask him!" After finishing speaking, he left.

Su Xiaowen immediately took out her mobile phone and called the driver at home: "Yan Sicheng is going out now, you follow him."

It was useless to follow. After Yan Sicheng found out halfway, he didn't take much effort to get rid of the driver and walk away.

He went to a club.

Qin Zhao is playing with his friends there tonight.

When Yan Sicheng went, the others had already left, only Qin Zhao was sitting on the sofa and making a phone call.

The room was very quiet, the headlights were not turned on, only the wall lamp was turned on, the light was dim, and there was an unidentifiable smell in the air, mixed with the smell of perfume, tobacco and alcohol, it was really not a pleasant smell.

Yan Sicheng thought that Qin Zhao was the only one there, but when he got closer, he realized that there was another person lying between Qin Zhao's legs!

Although there are two ready-made gays at home, and Yan Sicheng has long known that Qin Zhao is gay, but sometimes it is one thing to know, and another to see it with his own eyes.

That visual impact is a bit strong.

After all, he is a straight man, after thinking about it, he cursed "Fuck me" in a low voice, and immediately turned around.

Qin Zhao hung up the phone, seeing his disgust, couldn't help laughing, the laughter was full of playfulness.

After a while, the boy's uncomfortable whimper and the man's satisfied sigh came from the air.

Yan Sicheng retreated outside the door without knowing when.

The lights in the room were turned on, and Qin Zhao sat on the sofa and took out a tissue to wipe the boy's mouth, his movements were gentle.

"Go." After tidying up the people, Qin Zhao lazily leaned back on the sofa and told him, "Go and apologize to Mr. Yan."

Yan Sicheng waited for a long time, and got a little impatient. Just when he wanted to go to another place for a stroll, the door opened, and a handsome boy came out, with a wave of passion still on his face.

"Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to delay your time."

Yan Sicheng ignored him and directly pushed the door open.

That person didn't follow in either.

There were only the two of them in the room. As soon as Yan Sicheng passed by, he asked, "Brother Qin, what do you mean?"

He wanted Su Xiaowen to step down, not Xingke!

Qin Zhao said that he would help him find a solution, but now that it has happened like this, he didn't discuss it with him at all beforehand.

Qin Zhao looked at him with light eyes, and his tone was also very light: "You should know that she occupies an important position in Xingke and plays a very important role. If you want to touch her, how can there be no trouble."

"But now things are like this, Xingke will bleed profusely in the end!" Yan Sicheng became more and more angry, "If the stock price can't be kept at that time, what should I do?!"

Qin Zhao wished that Xingke's stock price would never recover from a slump, and it would be better if it collapsed completely, but he didn't want to turn against Yan Sicheng yet, so he patiently lied to him: "The stock market changes in an instant, and now there are negative news. It will fall, it’s normal. After the limelight is over, it’s not difficult to find a way to pull it back, do you think your father and the people on the Xingke board of directors are vegetarians?”

He wanted to say, do you think your dad is as stupid as you?

After all, I endured it.

Yan Sicheng is still useful, he is quite competent as a pawn.

This person is not very capable, ambitious, cowardly, shady and green tea, with no one to back him up, so he is very easy to use, almost pointing to where to hit.

Seeing that he was still aggrieved, Qin Zhao appeased him while giving him a high hat: "Even if your aunt doesn't take the blame and resign after this incident, she will be forced to hand over power slowly by the board of directors. Dad has coaxed you well, and if you make some achievements then, and you have the capital in your hands, are you worried that you won’t be able to win Xingke with your skill and ability?"

Mentioning his father, Yan Sicheng, made him a little annoyed. He usually quarreled so much that he would lift the roof of the house. Today, he was crazy and defended Su Xiaowen in front of the shareholders.

But he didn't intend to tell Qin Zhao everything. After getting along for a long time, he felt that Qin Zhao was a big-tailed wolf in human skin. Not brother.

"Half of what I promised you has been fulfilled, when will you fulfill what you promised me?" Qin Zhao obviously didn't intend to become brothers with him.

Yan Sicheng's face froze, and he said with some guilt: "I've already told Xiaoqing, don't worry, it can be taken care of."

The Xiaoqing he was talking about was the fiancee his father picked for him, the daughter of Zeng Yongqing from Lihua Technology.

There is an auction house under Lihua Technology, called Jiutai Auction House Co., Ltd., which is the largest auction house in Lishui and even G Province. It is well-known throughout the country and has a wide range of business.

Zeng Xiaoqing is the vice president of the auction house.

Qin Zhao has a lot of "valuable" antiques, calligraphy works of art, and other real estate. If he wants to auction them, a small auction house can't take them. He has to find a large auction house with a large capacity.

He has found all the "buyers".

All that is needed is for Yan Sicheng to help him get the ticket to enter Jiutai and escort him during the transaction.

The auction house will draw whatever commission it wants, and will give Yan Sicheng a 10% commission afterwards.

Yan Sicheng wasn't stupid enough to guess what he was trying to do.

The last time he was drunk, Qin Zhao got him involved, and now he is stuck, neither is he agreeing, nor is he not agreeing.

Qin Zhao was obviously not satisfied with his prevarication, and changed his tone: "You still have seven days, after the National Day is over, I hope to sign the entrustment contract immediately."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." Now that Yan Sicheng has entered the game, he has no choice but to agree to him, and the reward is really attractive.

He said, "I'd like to ask Brother Qin to take care of it for me in Hong Kong City."

He tossed and tossed and tried every means to get rid of Su Xiaowen and ruin Yan Zhengming's career. He just wanted to win his reputation, wanted to secure his family fortune, and he wasn't brave enough to kill anyone.

Little did he know that what he was provoking now was not a wolf in human skin, but a demon in human skin.

This devil not only seeks money, but also kills.

Qin Zhao looked at him with a smile and said, "How can Brother Qin not care about your affairs, don't worry."

The Hong Kong city has been so chaotic recently, who knows if Yan Zhengming will be so lucky that he "coincidentally" ran into those thugs who love to smash and burn and parade the streets.

If you accidentally lose your life at that time.

tsk...

What can Zhong Lin do?
