The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Chapter 404: Killing Three Birds with One Stone, Chen Yuan Traps Two Sisters (Part )
Because he has always lived a pampered life, Jiang Ruzheng has a plump face without many wrinkles. He looks to be in his thirties at most. In fact, he is only one year younger than Jiang Ruxue.

Men are naturally endowed with anti-aging genes.

It wasn't that cold in the middle of the day, and Jiang Ruzheng was only wearing a dark blue jacket with a shirt underneath. He had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hand on the phone. When he saw Jiang Ning coming over, he hung up the phone and hurried over to greet her.

Jiang Ning's uncle was not a greasy man with a big belly. Judging from his attire, he looked like a small boss with a wealthy family.

Clothes make the man, and robes make the Buddha. This saying is absolutely true.

I'm afraid only people who are familiar with him know what a cowardly person Jiang Ruzheng is.

This was the first time that Chen Yuan met Jiang Ning's family as someone close to her. No matter what the other party was like, Chen Yuan was a little nervous at this time. He was thinking of the right words in his heart and waiting for the right time to get to know this future uncle.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning skipped this step for him.

"Uncle, I just came here from Lanjing..." She turned around and said to Chen Yuan: "This is my uncle."

"Hello."

"Who is this?" Uncle looked at Chen Yuan in surprise.

"My boyfriend."

"??? When did you find a boyfriend?" Jiang Ruzheng's eyes widened even more. He pulled Jiang Ning's hand, pulled her aside and said in a low and hurried voice: "A few days ago, your mother asked me to introduce you to a blind date. Why didn't you tell me that you found a boyfriend..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Tell me about my mother's situation."

"Then..." Jiang Ruzheng glanced at Chen Yuan.

"Just say it, he is not an outsider."

"Don't let family disgrace be aired in public... Ningning, why don't you let this young man find a place to rest first."

"Tsk, just say it." Jiang Ning frowned immediately.

This is not the attitude to treat elders at all. After all, Jiang Ruzheng is his uncle. Chen Yuan saw it and said nothing on the surface, but his eyes flickered a few times.

What was even more unexpected was that when Jiang Ning frowned, Jiang Ruzheng instantly obeyed, not feeling offended or embarrassed at all.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you."

Then, he told her everything Jiang Ruxue had told him over the past two days.

Jiang Ning and Chen Yuan walked and listened, and the more they listened, the heavier their mood became.

Not long after, they arrived at a cafe where they could rest, and at a four-person seat facing the street, Jiang Ruzheng began to complain bitterly.

"Your mother didn't let me manage anything before, so how could I understand so many things? I don't understand! Whenever I call her to ask about something, she scolds me... I have to smile in front of President Qi, so I have to endure it from both sides. Do you think it's easy for me?" Jiang Ruzheng lowered his head and drooped his face like a wilted grass seedling. He even turned around and said to Chen Yuan, "Young man, you should be the judge. The big boss, President Qi, knows that you are in a difficult situation now. Wouldn't he want to take advantage of you at this time? How can I negotiate with him calmly?"

"Uncle is right." Chen Yuan agreed.

"Look," Jiang Ruzheng pointed at Chen Yuan and said to Jiang Ning, "Everyone understands the truth."

"What is it?" Jiang Ning couldn't help but say, "It is precisely because of the critical moment that we have to stay calm and not panic."

"But, Ningning...what kind of situation is your mother in now? The shareholders are not happy with her misappropriation of company funds, the management has filed a lawsuit, the problems of the users who complained have not been solved, and hundreds of people are surrounding the company to demand their wages...even the public opinion on the Internet is very unfavorable to her. Everyone is calling for her to be punished. This is completely a situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides!"

Even though Chen Yuan already knew the hidden story, he still couldn't help but be amazed when he heard Jiang Ruzheng's story in person.

This is essentially a dead end for Jiang Ruxue.

There is almost no room for recovery.

Competition in the business world is nothing more than conspiracy and intrigue, and all means can be said to be used. Chen Yuan never thought how horrible these means were before, but his assistant even exposed such a video on the Internet to ruin Jiang Ruxue's reputation... Is there anything else these people can't do?

The intrigues in business in reality are not just talk.

It is conceivable that those entrepreneurs who are very famous today have experienced many ups and downs to get to where they are today.

Chen Yuan suddenly remembered the time at the Lanjing Bauhinia Company when Jiang Zhengfeng told Pei Youwen, who was meeting Chen Yuan for the first time, that there was no need to keep it secret in the future, and he easily revealed Chen Yuan's identity.

Perhaps it is because Jiang Zhengfeng has reached his current status that no one can threaten him anymore.

How many past events are hidden behind the relaxed appearance...

Did his biological mother really quarrel with Jiang Zhengfeng and betray him and take him away? Then why is there his biological mother's signature on his adoption documents? If it is a formal and legal adoption procedure, how could Jiang Zhengfeng not know about it? It took so many years to find him.

Chen Yuan never thought about these problems before, because if he dug into the reasons, the final results would not make him happy. He just thought that the adults had taken care of all the things, and his life was pretty good now, and the past was over.

Now that I think about it, there must be many deep-seated reasons behind this.

"So what are you going to do?" Chen Yuan was distracted for a moment and suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Hearing this, Ningning and Jiang Ruzheng were both stunned.

"I mean... since it has happened, we have to find a way to solve it, right?"

"Yes, uncle, how did my mother arrange it with you?"

"Alas," Jiang Ruzheng sighed, "What else can we do? The shareholders are unlikely to compromise. Now we just have to settle the lawsuit with the investors, and then figure out other things one by one."

Chen Yuan glanced at Jiang Ruzheng, and when he turned his gaze to Jiang Ning, he found that Jiang Ning was also looking at him. The two looked at each other.

He clearly saw a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

To be honest, people should have a bottom line. Although it is always said that there is no business without dishonesty, this behavior is too blatant, and it is said so openly.

As for the shareholders, everyone shared hardships and started a business together, and now they have formed a community of interests. However, Jiang Ruxue was the first to betray this community. This is unkind and unjust.

As a business owner, he withheld wages and took the hard-earned money of so many people to gamble, and most importantly, he lost the game. This should be criticized by others.

Now that the company is on the verge of a dead end, the boss is not thinking about the shareholders who have shared weal and woe with him, nor is he thinking about the office workers who are working hard for him. Instead, he wants to get rid of the lawsuit first.

Because the employer's lawsuit is different from wage arrears and shareholder lawsuits.

Jiang Ruxue has resolved the compensation issue with the employer, so she can just ignore these employees and delay the matter indefinitely. If they are determined to evade legal sanctions, there are many ways to do it.

Jiang Ning had a premonition that Jiang Ruxue would do this, but she couldn't say anything in front of Chen Yuan.

Nothing in this world is black or white. Distinguishing right from wrong is just a dream of an idealist. In most cases, the color of the world is a dirty brown, because mixed between right and wrong are family, friendship, love, as well as hatred, jealousy, and desire.

"Can she come up with that much money?" Jiang Ning asked in a low voice.

Jiang Ruzheng shook his head sadly.

He knew that the company had been in a bad situation over the years, and Jiang Ruxue also told her clearly that he understood that the company had long been struggling to take every step, and had been losing money to maintain the normal operation of the project. Even a lot of the properties purchased in Mingzhu City more than ten years ago had been sold.

That's real asset.

Jiang Ruxue wouldn't do this if she had no other choice.

"The penalty is ten times the amount the investor allocated for the project, minus a certain percentage of what?"

"Return on investment." Chen Yuan reminded.

"Yes, that's it, so I have to pay about 3.22 million..."

When Chen Yuan and Jiang Ning heard this number, they both felt dizzy and their ears buzzing.

There was silence for a long while, no one spoke.

The reactions of both of them were good.

"Ah, when I first heard the number, I was so exhausted that I couldn't even stand... It took me more than an hour to hold on to the door and get out of the car. This is not about money, it's about life, isn't it?"

“That’s what liquidated damages are.”

"So your mother plans to sell this building, which is the most valuable thing in the entire Mei Ruxue Company," Jiang Ruzheng turned his head and looked at the building surrounded by people, "I contacted Mr. Qi, and the price he offered... is too low."

Several hundred million is not a small amount.

If all of it were converted into cash, it would weigh several tons and would require a large truck to transport it.

Enough for hundreds of families to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

"To take a step back, if we can resolve the dispute with the investors, it would be best to discuss with the shareholders. At worst, we can discuss other conditions. As long as the company can be successfully deregistered, the situation will not be too bad."

"What about the debts owed to the employees?" Jiang Ning asked in a low voice, clenching her hands.

"Ningning, I know you and Yaoyao have been kindhearted since childhood, but the mountain king has already fled, so how can he care about these little monsters in the mountain? If they want to sue, let them sue. Let's deal with the family's affairs first."

Jiang Ning didn't say anything, just looked out the window with complicated eyes.

Chen Yuan watched as Jiang Ruzheng hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say, and he couldn't help feeling bad for Jiang Ning.

She clearly just wanted to live a quiet life, but fate did not allow her to have such a happy life.

Their own mother has created such a huge hole, and as her biological daughters, how could Ningning and Yaoyao not be implicated?

"Ningning," Jiang Ruzheng smacked his lips a few times and couldn't help but say, "I have to go home for two days. There are a lot of things going on at home. Your aunt calls me twenty times a day. Now that you're back, why don't you go and talk to Mr. Qi? I really can't handle this kind of thing."

Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this.

No... What does it mean to stay home for two days? Does it mean he doesn't want to take care of this mess anymore?

But he is the elder!

And he is Jiang Ruxue’s biological brother.

Logically speaking, when something like this happened, one should be busy and busy. Didn't Jiang Ruzheng just call them relatives...

"I see. Please send me your contact information later."

What surprised Chen Yuan even more was that Jiang Ning didn't react at all. It seemed like she was used to her uncle's behavior and she agreed coldly.

"That's great. I'm not saying that Mr. Qi is difficult to deal with..." Jiang Ruzheng stood up and put on his coat. After rustling for a while, he didn't forget to take a sip of coffee: "Remember to stay calm. If you have any questions, contact your uncle... What the hell is this bitter coffee? I'm leaving now."

He hurriedly left the cafe, crossed the street, and disappeared at the entrance of the parking lot.
