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

Chapter 413: Killing Three Birds with One Stone, Chen Yuan Traps Two Sisters (XVIII)

Chen Yuan was soft-hearted after all, and did not use this as a threat to force Jiang Ning to submit.

This was not because Jiang Ning's words, "She wouldn't be happy even if I was forced to marry her," convinced Chen Yuan.

If it really comes to an emergency, he won't care whether they are happy or not, he will just marry the two sisters home first and then think about other things.

But now, it hasn't reached that point.

Jiang Ning was in great pain right now. Chen Yuan could still vividly remember her crying during the quarrel just now. In this situation, he didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

Seeing Jiang Ning in such pain, he actually felt unhappy too.

Since it is a matter of a lifetime, Chen Yuan can only comfort himself to be patient. One day he will completely impress Jiang Ning and make her marry him willingly!

He secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

"Sometimes I wonder if I'm too mean to you..." Jiang Ning smoothed her hair and lowered her head and said softly, "Actually, I don't want to always be cold-faced. Thinking back to when we were in love, the resentment in my heart becomes even more difficult to control."

"You also know that you have been deliberately ignoring me during this period of time?" Chen Yuan said dissatisfiedly.

"It's because you just coaxed me a few times, and as soon as I felt better, you flew to Tokyo to accompany Jiang Yao!"

"Then I can't let her go alone." Chen Yuan looked innocent.

"So, why do we always have to give half of our love to others? This is why I feel uncomfortable. I know you are right, but I just can't get over it..." At this point, Jiang Ning revealed her true feelings: "Let's talk about it again later. Let's not talk about it now."

When Chen Yuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Since there is something to talk about, it means that the door that was stuck in Jiang Ning's heart has finally opened a crack.

After so much hard work, we finally see some results.

It’s really… not easy.

"Then we'll talk about it later. Let's first solve this company's mess," Chen Yuan calmed down. "The first step is to sort out all the compensation payments. What your mother said may not be entirely true. It's better to check it yourself to avoid concealing anything."

"I agree."

"Contact the director of your company's finance department and ask her to come over. We need to take all the account books and information away. It's impossible to check here. It's too messy."

"Then take it back to my house," Jiang Ning nodded quickly to show her agreement and stood up. "I'll go find someone to help us move our things right away."

The words fell.

Chen Yuan immediately started to clean up the office and began to look for several core documents related to the company's collapse. He needed to know how Jiang Ruxue and the finance department deceived the shareholders and made false financial reports, how they obtained the funds from the investors to start the new project, and the reason why the project failed.

Only by handing these over to a lawyer can he accurately determine the nature of the matter.

There is also room for mediation that needs to be explored.

In the office, the sound of flipping papers could be heard constantly.

In this deserted company, amid the dilapidated scene, Jiang Ning and Chen Yuan, who were working hard, were probably the few who were willing to stay and clean up the mess. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. In such a large company, in the end, only three directors and a dozen old employees were willing to help.

If Jiang Ruxue, who was captured, knew about this, she would probably feel complicated.

"That's all I have. I've taken everything I need."

"Hey," Director Dong of the after-sales department almost fell down when he first lifted the box. The box was too solid. "Damn, it's so heavy!"

"Mine is not light either," Director Liu of the Administration Department patted the box under his hand, "Wait for me when you go downstairs. I have to take the computer with me. There are a lot of files stored on it."

"No need, Minister, I'll get it for you." An employee volunteered.

"You don't need to call me minister. The company is ruined. There is no distinction between superiors and subordinates anymore." Minister Liu was still in the mood to joke at this time: "The driver is gone too. Here are the keys. Go to the basement and get the black business car to wait for us."

"Okay." The old employee in his fifties agreed.

Several people were carrying things in their hands and on their shoulders. Even Jiang Ning, who had never done heavy work, was carrying two large boxes. She could hardly see her feet when she walked, and could only follow Chen Yuan step by step. The worst thing was that there was no elevator to go downstairs, so they had to use the stairs to carry all the large boxes down.

Chen Yuan even wanted to call a moving company to take all these things to Jiang Ning's house.

When he expressed this idea, Jiang Ning was leaning against the wall, breathing heavily, with a layer of fine beads of sweat on the wings of her nose.

"No need to call a moving company. This is nothing to be fussy about. I can handle it... I can move it twice more, no problem."

Jiang Ning didn't stop talking and picked up the big box.

When had Chen Yuan ever seen Jiang Ning like this? Ever since they first met at Lanjing University, her every move revealed the dignity of a lady from a noble family and her wealthy family. Although she was not a showy person, her clothes and the expensive bags she carried showed that her living conditions were very different from those of ordinary people.

Not to mention the dusty smell of dirt, she doesn't look tacky at all. The word "elegant and refined" is the most appropriate way to describe her.

Now, her clothes were covered with mud from the cardboard boxes, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, not sure if she had rubbed it with the back of her hand or something, and there was also a smear of dust on the left side of her cheek.

Jiang Ning didn't care about these things at all and worked very hard in moving.

This made the old employees unable to bear it anymore, so they offered to let her drink some water and take a rest.

Jiang Ning waved her hands repeatedly to refuse, indicating that she was fine.

Maybe she understands that at this critical moment, if she, as a relative, doesn't do everything herself, how can she expect others to help her sincerely?
Maybe, this is just her personality, she doesn't always feel weak because of her female identity.

Chen Yuan saw all of this and couldn't help but feel fortunate for his choice.

He truly found his ideal lover.

……

This black business MPV drove into the Jiang family's elegant courtyard. It was dusk and the sun was setting.

The golden afterglow shines on the busy crowd.

The nanny, who had been waiting at the door, came over as soon as she saw Jiang Ning get out of the car.

"Miss...what's going on? Why hasn't your wife come home for several days?!"

"Something happened at the company," Jiang Ning explained sadly, "I can't explain it to you clearly at the moment. Anyway, Aunt Liu, take these people to wash their hands and faces, and then clean up the main hall. We will use it soon."

"Okay, I'll go right away, miss."

"Go quickly, and don't forget to make another pot of tea."

While Jiang Ning was arranging these things, Chen Yuan had already entered the main hall carrying a lot of bags. This was his first time to Jiang Ning's house.

Looking at the several small buildings scattered around, the elegant and leisurely courtyard, the main hall is decorated in a medieval style with a very classical charm.

The first time I came here was supposed to be the day to propose marriage... I didn't expect to come here so suddenly. Is this the place where Ningning and Yaoyao grew up?

Chen Yuan looked around and his eyes stopped at the door frame at the entrance.

The small Q-version girl sticker appeared very inappropriately on the expensive and solemn painted wooden door. Chen Yuan stretched out his finger and rubbed it, with a smile on his lips.

This is obviously Jiang Yao’s masterpiece when he was a child.

……

The living room was quickly cleaned up. Except for the carpet on the floor, almost everything else, including the coffee table, was moved away, and papers of all sizes were laid out in order.

Everyone was busy with different things in groups of three.

The specific division of labor is clear.

Jiang Ning was looking at the contents of the contract and the amount of compensation to be paid. She made a list on a piece of white paper and was calculating intensively. One could see the serious and thoughtful expression on her face.

Apart from the sound of typing on the keyboard, the only sounds in the living room were the two ministers reconciling accounts.

The tea has gone cold.

Everyone then remembered and took a sip.

The nannies of the Jiang family didn't know what was going on. Looking at their serious expressions, they didn't dare to ask. They stood in the side hall and watched, discussing cautiously.

"Something must have happened to Mrs. Jiang. It seems that this time it's not a small matter. Even the eldest daughter came back to help deal with it."

"Yes, you know, Mrs. Jiang never lets the eldest daughter get involved in business matters."

"Shh, stop talking, we should go prepare dinner."

The leading nanny had just finished speaking.

Suddenly, a car horn was heard in the courtyard, and then a black Mercedes drove in.

One after the other, a man and a woman got out of the car.

The man's name is Ji Hai. He was the former CEO of Lanjing Bauhinia Investment Company. He was a top student with outstanding abilities discovered by Jiang Zhengfeng. Only two months after joining Bauhinia Company, he and Chen Yuan went to Jiang's northern region to serve as the director of the Discipline Inspection Office.

The woman's name is Monana. She used to be the director of the Finance Department of Lanjing Bauhinia Company. Her father was Jiang Zhengfeng's right-hand man and close friend. He is currently the director of the Northern Regional Project Audit Office.

Jiang Ning heard the voice and looked out from the main hall. She was a little surprised when she saw the two people. Then she looked at Chen Yuan in surprise.

"Don't be surprised. There are many people and many eyes. I arranged for Ji Hai to investigate Mr. Qi's background and the cause and effect of this matter, because I always feel that this matter is not simple... As for Mona Na, I specially asked her to come and help you, so that you won't be too busy alone."

"Okay." Jiang Ning did not comment on Chen Yuan's arrangement.

But Jiang Ning always felt a little uncomfortable. It was normal for her not to want others to know about what happened at home, especially since these two people were her colleagues.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ji Hai entered the door, he waved and greeted Chen Yuan.

"Chairman, please come here for a moment. I have something important to discuss with you."

He had sent a message to Chen Yuan before, so Chen Yuan knew that he had learned some inside information. So he didn't waste any time, squeezed Jiang Ning's hand as if to comfort her, and then walked out the door.

His action gave Jiang Ning a feeling of being electrocuted. The hand that was touched trembled violently and her cheeks began to turn red.

Jiang Ning's eyes drifted towards Monana and found that she was also looking at her.

"Secretary Jiang, there's no need to hide it," Monana smiled brightly, "Ji Hai, Xiao Pei and I have known for a long time that you are the chairman's wife."

"What Chairman's Wife..." Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning's face turned red with embarrassment.

Chen Yuan is so abominable. He clearly told these people everything, but she was kept in the dark and had to pretend to be innocent in the company.

In the eyes of others, isn't that simply a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

Here, Ji Hai pulled Chen Yuan into the courtyard.

No one was around.

He took out a document from his briefcase and stuffed it into Chen Yuan's arms with a serious expression.

"I have already checked what you told me. Mr. Qi was a businessman who used to sell belts. Twenty years ago, he married the daughter of Gong Ziwei, a real estate tycoon in Mingzhu City. Since then, he has transformed into a real estate investment business. He has strong capital behind him. His business has been booming over the years and he has made a lot of money. It is worth mentioning that this man is not a clean man. His real estate company often engages in forced buying and selling."

"Have you found out Assistant Qin's identity?" Chen Yuan asked with a frown.

"Yes, thanks to Sister Cha Cha, she helped me find a connection. This matter is strange. Assistant Qin is not from Mingzhu City. His original name is not Qin Wanqing, but Qin Xiaowan. He graduated from Linzhou Vocational and Technical College and worked as a small anchor for a media company. Later, for some reason, he changed his name and became a top student in Mingzhu City. He also joined a little-known company as an office secretary."

Ji Hai continued, "Following this clue, I found out that this company had cooperated with Mei Ruxue Company. Qin Wanqing had contact with Jiang Ruxue just over a month after joining the company, and successfully completed the job change. It can be said that her meeting with Jiang Ruxue was completely deliberately arranged by someone."

"I know this, otherwise she wouldn't have jumped out and bit Jiang Ruxue at the most critical moment... Now Ningning still thinks I don't know about this, but in fact, the messages on the Internet are already flying all over the place." Chen Yuan replied.

"That's the key point. They hid it very well. It can be said that they had encrypted it layer by layer, and the organizational structure was very strict. But when I checked the company, I found that the shell company Qin Wanqing worked for was still there, but the people were gone, and even all the office equipment in the company was not dealt with. I actually bought the computer that Qin Wanqing had used," Ji Hai said, his eyes sparkling. "You would never imagine that she didn't delete any data, even the foreign contact software she used was on it."

What else is there to check?
Almost all the secrets of the plan are hidden on this shabby office computer.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I didn't expect it to unfold so dramatically.

"Four or five well-known domestic cosmetics companies participated in the plan against Jiang Ruxue. We found an incomplete list on Qin Wanqing's computer. It contained the identities of at least 17 business spies, including a senior product manager in Jiang Ruxue's company. This could also explain why the replacement of product ingredients could be so easily concealed from shareholders and evaded the company's internal self-inspection."

"I was saying," Chen Yuan suddenly realized, "In the documents I just read, the signature procedures cannot be circumvented at all. If there are spies everywhere in the company, and others are deliberately cooperating with Jiang Ruxue's self-destructive behavior, then it makes sense."

"Not only that," Ji Hai said seriously, "even the investor Daxia Company has participated in this commercial crackdown. Meiruxue Company's qualifications are simply not enough to afford that investment, but a certain leader of Daxia Company has gone against all odds and reached a cooperation agreement... Chairman, commercial investment is our main business, and Daxia Company has an extremely good track record. How could it make such a low-level mistake and make a risky investment that loses all the money?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan also frowned deeply.

So, this was a scam involving several companies that worked in perfect coordination from beginning to end?
