Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

511 Chapter 512 Deal

Thank you readers!

“Borrowing money?” My heart skipped a beat suddenly, but I still smiled on the surface. “Mr. Zhang’s annual salary is at least a million yuan, and his father Zhang Li is the vice-chairman of the company and one of the major shareholders of Fengchang. The annual dividend he receives is enough for a small person like me to live off a lifetime. That kind of person is short of money?”

“The one who is short of money is precisely his father, who is the vice-chairman of Fengchang.” Liu Xiaosheng said, “When a great cause is successful, those who made the success possible would eventually be eliminated by the leader, and Mo Yizhi is exactly this kind of leader. He may look kind, but he has a cold heart. He is a true profiteer. In order to achieve his goal, he will do whatever it takes to eliminate those who get in the way.

“After the Third Lady told everyone that she would only work with you, he no longer objected to Miss Mo staying with you. As a smart person, you must have noticed what kind of person he is already. Amongst those who had worked with him to build Fengchang in the past, there was only Zhang Li left in Fengchang now. From this, it can be seen that Zhang Li isn’t a fool as well. Everyone knows that Mo Yizhi wants to hand Fengchang over to Miss Mo, so the equally ambitious Zhang Li will definitely be an obstacle. Since the Third Lady has decided to cooperate with Fengchang, this is the best chance for Mo Yizhi to help Miss Mo take over Fengchang. So I am afraid that it will not be far away from the day that the internal war within Fengchang completely breaks out…”

I had already expected that he would say this. “Does this have anything to do with vice-chairman Zhang borrowing money?”

“Yes, because he dug a big hole himself. Because of that, Mo Yizhi can bring him down now without any effort.” Liu Xiaosheng said neither in a hurry nor in a slow tone, “Zhang Li is known for his prudence, and he has never had any bad habits in his life, except for gambling.”

“His gambling skills are very good, and he has already been very lucky. There are rumors saying that the business starting fund he had in the past came from the casino. However, no one can guarantee that you will always win casinos. And the accident this time is enough to destroy his decades of hard work,” Liu Xiaosheng said.

He continued, “Li Zhang is a gambler and everyone knows that, so many people who want curry favor with Fengchang Group would invite him to visit the casino from time to time. Zhang Li himself often said that knowing when to stop is the key to always win in casinos. He believes that small bets are fun, and only big bets are harmful. Therefore, although he likes to gamble, he never gambles too much. But that all changed since a client invited him to Macau two years ago

“That night Zhang Li was in the Lisboa casino. He was drunk, and the alcohol lowered his guard, so he made several big bets. In just a short while, he won several millions. This kind of quick money is the deadliest temptation of gambling. Even someone who doesn’t like gambling would be lost in it, let alone Zhang Li, a person who loves gambling like his life. After that, he forgot his belief that big bets were harmful and started to gamble out of control.

“Later, in the name of rest and recuperation, he actually made a special trip to Las Vegas and gambled for a whole week. But as if his gambling luck was finally exhausted, he never won any money again…”

I couldn’t help but sigh secretly. It was not him running out of luck. It was clear that he had lost his mind. When one was too obsessed with one thing, one would often ignore other things. Although it was true that ‘small bets are fun and big bets are harmful’, how many people would follow this rule forever? After all, the temptation of gambling was extremely deadly…

“When he lost all his money, he started to borrow money from his friends, relatives, and even clients. But after he lost that money as well, where do you think he can get more money?…”

I think Liu Xiaosheng was trying to insult my intelligence, “He… embezzled Fengchang’s money?”

Liu Xiaosheng said mockingly, “In the past two years, he has embezzled tens of millions from the company under various names. Last year, in order to plug the financial hole, he made a big gamble again. He set up a fake project so he could get the investment fund from the company. Then he went to Hong Kong to ‘speculate on futures’ with this investment fund.

“However, once again he lost everything. At the end of this year, he was supposed to explain the progress of this investment project to Fengchang, but this project was not real at all. So as a last resort, he announced that the project was unfeasible and he had given up on this project. He borrowed 100 million from the underground bank, and plugged the financial hole from the investment.

“Originally, he planned to get through this year first before setting up another fake project, so he could get money to pay the underground bank, and then slowly try to find a way to plug the company’s financial hole. But unexpectedly, the news of the Third Lady seeking cooperation suddenly broke out. Companies interested in this cooperation all postponed their new investment projects, and Fengchang was no exception.

“You are from the investment department of Fengchang, so you should know that Fengchang is mainly recouping the funds this year, and is not interested in setting up any investment projects any time soon. Ha ha, so the 100 million yuan that Zhang Li borrowed is tied to his own company. He originally just wanted to borrow short-term loans, but now he can’t afford the high interest every month. If the loan shark goes to Fengchang at this time, does Mo Yizhi even need to do anything? That 100 million would directly send Zhang Li to prison, and the people that side with him would inevitably be implicated.”

I had previously heard from Sang Yingjie and Kong Jiancheng about Zhang Li borrowing money from the underground bank, but I didn’t believe that it was true until I heard it again from Liu Xiaosheng.

I didn’t expect that Zhang Li, who was known for his prudence, would be ruined by gambling.

“So he wants to borrow money from the Liu family to repay the debt from the underground bank?”

“Otherwise, why do you think Zhang Mingjie, a fanatical suitor of Miss Mo, would give up on chasing her?” Liu Xiaosheng sneered. “I like to treat everyone as my pawn, but this is not scary. What’s scary is someone like Zhang Mingjie who can treat himself as a pawn. He can even completely abandon his position for his goal. The first reason why he suddenly pursued Cheng Liusu was because he wanted to ask a favor from me. He dared not compete with me for Miss Mo, so he wanted to use this to show me that he had given up on chasing Miss Mo. The second reason was that he wanted to help me to get rid of you. You would have a sense of crisis if he started to chase Cheng Liusu, and this sense of crisis will advance your relationship with Cheng Liusu. On the contrary, it will alienate Miss Mo who has a good impression on you…”

People often say that I was scary, but these two people were a hundred times scarier than me! I have long felt that Zhang Mingjie’s pursuit of Liusu was too sudden, and recently I suspected that he had never liked Liusu at all, but I never thought that it would be this…

I felt a fit of uncontrollable anger. What did Zhang Mingjie think of Liusu? He even pretended to tell me that he would not pester her in the future. It turned out that in his eyes, Liusu was such a small existence…

The psychology of men is really contradictory. When Zhang Mingjie liked Liusu, I was angry. But when Zhang Mingjie didn’t like Liusu, I was also angry…

“Of course, these are just the small tricks he used to please me. What we can really have as our common ground is certainly the benefit.” Liu Xiaosheng said, “He invited you to visit me today because he wanted me to owe him. He also wants to prove that he, Zhang Mingjie, can use you and control you. And if he is able to control you, it means that he is able to control Miss Mo and the Third Lady… So for me to lend him 100 million yuan, it is definitely worth it Bah! He can stop dreaming! He thinks he can control me as well!”

Perhaps as Liu Xiaosheng said, I was really good at hiding. The more angry I was, the more clear my mind and the more calm my expression became. “Is Mr. Liu afraid that he will get rid of you after he uses you?”

“If I lent him 100 million yuan, how is he going to get rid of me?” Liu Xiaosheng said with a gloomy smile, “I’m just not happy that I was used by him. You came to visit me today because of Xingyu and Guo Xiang. This was something that I can be certain of. From this, I can tell that you will not betray Miss Mo for the sake of profit, because you are different from us. You are not as ambitious as us, so you have no reason to betray Miss Mo. This means that Zhang Mingjie will definitely not be able to control you. He thinks that he can read you like a book, and use you. But this is just his own wishful thinking. After weighing it up, I think that the benefits that can be obtained by helping the Zhang family are rather limited, therefore it would be better to make a deal with you.”

“What deal?”

“I’ve told you so much information, and I’m sure that it will help the Mo family. I can use my method to help the Mo family bring down the Zhang family.” Liu Xiaosheng said, “In exchange, before I leave Bei Tian City, I will publicly invite you to the Liu family in the name of the Liu family. I hope you will accept the invitation. This will ease the current embarrassing situation of the Liu family a lot. This is just a deal, I’m not asking for your forgiveness, nor do I need it. But keep in mind that if you decline it, Xingyu and Guo Xiang’s situation won’t be improved as well. So what do you think?”

“You are that afraid to owe me?”

“It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s that I don’t want to.”

“You are that confident that I will accept it just because you used your younger sister to threaten me?”

“It’s shameless, but very effective. I’m a despicable person, but Xingyu is not. You won’t take out your grudge on other people. This is the good thing about you, but it’s also your weakness.”

I looked at Liu Xiaosheng for a moment, and then said indifferently, “Being too smart is your advantage and also your disadvantagewhen two tigers fight each other, one will be bound to be hurt. You just foresaw the ending of the Zhang family, the future of Fengchang, and the potential of Heng Xiang, right? Mr. Liu, Zhang Mingjie wants to use me, but aren’t you the same?”
