Through this incident, Wang Yi thoroughly understood the dangers of drinking gatherings and the subtlety of colleague relationships.
No matter how good colleagues are, or how close their relationship, they might stab you in the back at critical moments.
After all, everyone isn't brothers, but potential competitors!
Therefore, at these drinking gatherings, Wang Yi would only pretend to be drunk and wouldn't drink much at all!
Just like now, as soon as the driver left, Wang Yi's head was no longer dizzy, his mind was clear, and he walked briskly towards Song Sining's home!
Everyone thought Wang Yi was five-tenths drunk and truly couldn't drink anymore.
In reality, Wang Yi had only just begun to feel it, at most two-tenths drunk.
Pretending to be five-tenths drunk was just to make it easier to cultivate connections!
These days, anyone doing business or being a public figure who dares to drink freely and heavily at a drinking gathering is courting disaster!
No wonder baijiu sales were repeatedly cut in half years later.
Of course, drinking freely with one's good brothers is fine.
The premise is that they must be true brothers.
Especially for celebrities and public figures, once they drink too much, start slurring, and get recorded by a "good brother" and posted online... they might be ruined.
Returning to Song Sining's home, there was yogurt on the table, along with a note:
"Not coming back for lunch, drinking again, aren't you? There's yogurt on the table, drink it to sober up."
Wang Yi felt a bit touched; this feeling of being cared for was truly wonderful.
Drinking the yogurt, Wang Yi looked at Song Sining's tidy and cozy room, his expression somewhat complex:
"Such a virtuous girl, she can't be taken advantage of by others, truly she can't."
Then Wang Yi called his dad:
"Dad, how have things been lately?"
"Very good, nothing's wrong. Your grandparents and maternal grandmother are all doing well too. Don't worry. You're still young, and starting a business involves a lot, just take care of yourself. As for the family here, we'll handle the elders!"
"Okay, haha."
Wang Yi beamed with joy.
Some parents only think about how to lighten their children's burden and how to subsidize them.
While some parents only think about how to force and exploit their children, making them repay them, even gaslighting their children, complaining that they are useless and don't make money...
It can only be said that all kinds of people exist.
"Oh, right, Xiaoyi, there's news about the demolition. The eastern part of the county town was suddenly frozen a few days ago, and your factory is also within the frozen area!"
Wang Qingzhi chuckled:
"So the eastern part of the city is really getting demolished!"
Wang Yi was not surprised:
"That's for sure. I estimate there will be results early next month."
"Indeed, demolishing such a large factory will result in a lot of compensation. After all, you expanded it by half!"
Wang Qingzhi clicked his tongue in wonder.
Originally, Wang Yi and his parents planned to take out money to buy houses in the eastern part of the county town and wait for the October 1st demolition.
But in the end, Wang Yi gave up, and his parents also gave up.
One cannot monopolize all good things.
Firstly, the demolition of one garment factory was already enough; there was no need for anything else.
Secondly, Meiyou had grown large, and Wang Yi was no longer short of small money.
Demolishing one property in the county town would only earn 700,000 yuan, which wasn't very significant.
Thirdly, they were all from the same county town.
If Wang Yi bought it, he would be snatching someone else's demolition opportunity, which wasn't worth it.
For example, the former factory director of the garment factory absconded, owing employees their hard-earned money, a complete deadbeat.
Wang Yi had no guilt about snatching his demolition opportunity.
The few houses in the eastern suburbs belonged to two old geezers who had renounced their nationality and fled abroad.
There was no guilt in snatching their demolition plan either.
It was much better than them taking tens of millions in demolition compensation and then fleeing abroad again!
But there was no need to snatch other people's demolition opportunities.
Wang Yi simply gave up.
"How much will the demolition compensate? I don't know either,"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
In his previous life, the Liangcai Garment Factory was an abandoned factory that had long ceased operations, yet it still received thirty to forty million in compensation.
Today's Liangcai Garment Factory operates normally and produces continuously, so the compensation should be even higher, at least fifty million.
Furthermore, Wang Yi expanded the factory building by half, and hanging production lines were installed.
Wouldn't it be appropriate for the compensation to double again?
If it could really compensate over a hundred million, that would be a huge profit!
Wang Qingzhi sighed:
"Xiaoyi, what do you think? When that Factory Director Yin finds out, will he come back to cause trouble?"
Wang Yi's expression subtly changed:
"It's possible. That guy is a deadbeat and a gambler; he'll definitely be envious and come to cause trouble."
"Then what should we do?"
Wang Qingzhi was a bit worried.
Wang Yi, however, was completely unfazed:
"It's fine, it's better if Yin Zhixing doesn't come back. If he dares to, I'll prepare a surprise for him!"
"Don't be impulsive, things are easy to handle."
"Don't worry, Dad, I know what I'm doing."
"Oh, right, Uncle Lin was asking about you some time ago, wondering why you weren't talking to Lin Ziyi..."
Wang Yi: "..."
Wang Qingzhi said:
"I didn't pay attention to him!"
"Haha, well done, Dad."
Wang Yi smiled:
"Let's discuss something."
"What is it?"
"Mom's job is so tiring, why doesn't she just resign?"
Wang Shulin's job was that of a grassroots employee; her income wasn't high, but her work was very busy.
Wang Qingzhi thought for a moment:
"I've long wanted her to resign, but you know your mom's temper, she can't sit idle."
"How about this, Dad, you just say that my company is too busy now, and I can't spare time for the leftover clothing business. The city market is saturated, so they have to sell outside the city, and the profits aren't as high, but it's still 100,000 a day."
Wang Yi said:
"It would be too much of a waste to just abandon it. Why not let my mom be in charge? She can just keep accounts and collect money at home."
Wang Qingzhi fell silent, then after a long time said:
"Son, this matter is feasible. But even if it's 100,000 a day, that's three million a month. You're giving all this to us..."
Wang Yi smiled:
"What's wrong with giving it to you? You're my biological parents; isn't it only right that I let you make money? And it's all money you earn yourselves; I just don't have time to handle things on this end. Dad, tell Mom as soon as possible to resign tomorrow. Tomorrow night, Song Yang will return and turn in the accounts! Have Mom keep a close eye on the accounts!"
The city market for off-size clothing was saturated, so they could only sell it outside the city.
Song Yang and his team often went out, stayed locally, and only returned after a few days.
Song Yang and his team had to keep daily accounts and then regularly hand them over to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi planned to hand everything over to his mom, so she wouldn't have to work, just stay home, look at the accounts, and count money.
There was nothing he could do; he knew his parents' personalities well.
If he were to just give them money directly, his parents wouldn't accept it.
But this way of letting his parents earn big money wouldn't be a big problem.
After the call ended, Wang Qingzhi on the other end of the phone remained restless for a long time.
It was a long time before he sighed:
"Son, you've grown up!"
Before, Wang Yi relied on them for upbringing and protection.
Now, it was they who relied on Wang Yi for great wealth and prosperity.
That evening, Wang Qingzhi told Wang Shulin about it.
Wang Shulin was very intelligent and immediately understood Wang Yi's intention.
"My son knows how to care for his mother now!"
"Alright, I agree to this. The extra money we earn, we can't spend it all anyway, so we'll save it for Xiaoyi. If Xiaoyi ever needs it in the future, this money will be his fallback, or even his capital to make a comeback!"
"Yes, wife, your idea is very good! Absolutely right, resign tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Wang Shulin nodded, not wanting Wang Yi to worry about her anymore:
"Retiring at just forty and still making big money every day, my son is truly amazing. 'Mother gains prestige through son' is not an empty phrase!"
"Indeed, who would have thought this kid would build such a huge career ever since he stole my private stash of money!"
Wang Qingzhi's expression was complex:
"Wait, no, that kid promised me Maotai, and I haven't even smelled it yet!"
"So good to his biological mother, but to me..."
For a moment, Wang Qingzhi's expression became complicated.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Manager Zhao, please come in quickly."
"Uncle, Auntie, good evening. It's nothing, Mr. Wang asked me to deliver some things."
Saying that, Zhao Xuan waved his hand, and several people walked in from outside the door.
Maotai, Ruan Zhonghua cigarettes, milk, Ejiao, sea cucumbers, hairy crabs, high-end skincare products... were piled directly on the floor.
"This..."
Wang Qingzhi was stunned.
Wang Shulin was also bewildered.
What extravagance!
"Uncle, Auntie, please carry on with what you're doing, I won't disturb you. This is my business card; if you need anything in the future, feel free to call me anytime!"
Zhao Xuan said with a smile:
"Mr. Wang is studying in the Imperial Capital. In the future, I will show filial piety to you both."
"Manager Zhao, you're too kind, this is too generous."
"No problem, no problem, it's all my duty!"
Zhao Xuan said with a smile, and after some pleasantries, he turned and left.
He exceeded his monthly performance targets every time and had already become number one in the branch!
It was all thanks to Wang Yi!
How could he not be dedicated?
Moreover, there were already rumors from above that he would be promoted to deputy branch manager by the end of the year at the latest!
"Mr. Wang, my benefactor!"
"His parents are my own parents!"
Zhao Xuan was filled with emotion, his face beaming with joy.
However, the subordinates responsible for delivering the items had complex expressions, muttering in their hearts:
"Damn it, why did Zhao Xuan get to meet such a benefactor? Why can't we?"
It was conceivable that anyone who met a benefactor like Wang Yi could have skyrocketing performance, become number one in the branch, and be directly promoted to deputy branch manager!
Banking work, if you say it's unfair, it really is unfair.
If you say it's fair, it really is fair!
No matter who it is, as long as one person can complete most of the branch's performance, they can be promoted to deputy branch manager.
Even the branch manager would have to defer to him!
Just like Zhao Xuan now, even the branch manager was polite when seeing him.
With Zhao Xuan around, their branch's performance targets were always exceeded, and they were first every time.
Without Zhao Xuan, their branch's performance would be at the bottom, and incentives would be out of the question...
It's just that realistic!
Wang Qingzhi's eyes lit up:
"One, two, three, four, five, six boxes of Maotai, thirty-six bottles! And five boxes of Wuliangye, thirty bottles! One carton of Ruan Zhonghua cigarettes. I don't smoke, Xiaoyi got it for his grandpa."
"The grandson is filial,"
Wang Shulin sighed:
"At the old man's age, quitting smoking is impossible. If he really quit, the withdrawal symptoms would have even more severe consequences."
"Indeed, rather than letting the old man smoke low-quality cigarettes, it's better for him to smoke Zhonghua. Xiaoyi is thoughtful. I'll send them over tomorrow. First, one box of Maotai, one box of Wuliangye, and one carton of Ruan Zhonghua. After a while, I'll send another batch!"
"Also milk, Ejiao, hairy crabs, sea cucumbers. Xiaoyi bought three portions of each, sending one to his paternal grandparents and one to his maternal grandmother,"
Wang Shulin said.
"Okay. I'll come back a bit earlier tomorrow afternoon, and we'll go home together. As for Song Yang turning in the accounts, just have him go back to Qinglai Village and hand them in there."
"Good idea!"
Yayuan Community.
Song Sining, carrying groceries, returned home:
"You drank a lot again, didn't you?"
"No choice, I couldn't decline this kind of gathering."
"I guess so. You sit and rest first; I'll make you some stomach-nourishing porridge!"
Saying that, Song Sining walked into the kitchen and began to get busy.
Even after working all day and being very tired, she still washed her hands to make soup and personally prepared dinner for Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was filled with emotion.
In his previous life, those girlfriends would be doing well just to order him takeout.
Only Song Sining took care of him like this, whether in his previous life or this one.
It was always like this.
Ding-dong, the email notification sound rang.
Wang Yi opened his computer; it was some data.
Yin Zhixing's information!
Just as his dad said, once he learned that the Liangcai Garment Factory was to be demolished and would receive so much compensation, a mad dog like Yin Zhixing would very likely come to cause trouble.
At that time, with the factory workers present, Wang Yi wasn't afraid.
But if that guy kept making trouble, it would be extremely annoying.
By then, Wang Yi would have no choice but to take action and send him on his way.
So he arranged for Zhao Xuan to investigate all of Yin Zhixing's background.
Now he and Zhao Xuan had become allies.
Zhao Xuan's promotions, salary increases, and future achievements all depended on Wang Yi.
Whatever Wang Yi requested, Zhao Xuan would do his utmost to fulfill!
After all, they would prosper or suffer together.
If Wang Yi were out of the picture and he lost a core major client, Zhao Xuan's performance would also fall flat.
The branch manager, after all, had to bear terrifying performance targets!
Wang Yi carefully reviewed the information.
Not many bosses were completely clean.
If one really investigated, most would reveal some problems.
Especially a mad dog like Yin Zhixing, even more could be found out about him!
After reading the information, Wang Yi smiled slightly:
"Yin Zhixing, the free world is wonderful. I hope you don't court death. If you do, then I can only send you on your way!"
Heaven or hell, it all depended on Yin Zhixing's choice.
Wang Yi would not take the initiative to act, but once he did, it would be with the force of thunder!
At this moment, Wang Yi received a phone call from an overseas number.
"Is it capital seeking him out? Or..."
Wang Yi furrowed his brows slightly and pressed the answer button:
"Mr. Wang, I'm Chu Guangliang!"
"Oh, Mr. Chu, how have you been lately? Have you reunited with your daughter?"
Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Don't even mention it, I was scammed! Damn it, it was all a scam!"
"What happened? Tell me in detail."
Wang Yi cast a glance at Song Sining and walked out of the kitchen.
Song Sining understood, turned down the heat, and also walked out.
The two sat huddled together on the sofa, quietly listening to Chu Guangliang complain.
Song Sining even picked up a washed cherry and fed it to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi turned on the speakerphone, and Chu Guangliang's hysterical voice came through:
"Scammers, they're all damn scammers!"
"Were you scammed by Yin Zhongyu and his son?"
"You could say that. Yin Zhongyu and his son conspired to trick me, saying how wonderful it was abroad, and that I could reunite with my daughter once I came here. They tricked me into selling all my assets, cashing out, and fleeing."
"As soon as I landed, they picked me up at the airport, and I was very happy. Then I was abducted to a certain place..."
Wang Yi: "..."
"They were really fierce, all of them had guns. Once there, they beat me without a word, beat me until I vomited blood, demanded all my money, and then, thinking I was useless and not wanting to waste food, they let me go!"
"..."
Wang Yi was silent, then said:
"What about Yin Zhongyu?"
"Hmph! He's not doing well either, he was also beaten, and his money was robbed. That's why he tricked me into coming here!"
Wang Yi smiled:
"Let me get this straight. Yin Zhongyu tricked you into going there, so who tricked Yin Zhongyu into going there?"
"Yin Zhongyu's son!"
"What a 'filial son,' you're killing me!"
Wang Yi burst out laughing:
"And who tricked Yin Zhongyu's son into it?"
"Who else, my daughter!"
Chu Guangliang sighed:
"Misfortune for the family, misfortune for the family!"
Wang Yi: "..."
Song Sining: "..."
"In the end, your daughter is the big boss?"
"No, my daughter was also tricked into it by her best friend..."
Wang Yi: "..."
Song Sining: "..."
"I understand. This organization specifically targets wealthy second-generation Chinese international students, tricks them into joining, then forces them to continue scamming classmates and friends. If they fail, there will be severe punishments."
"Yes, if they can't scam money, they're beaten to death."
Chu Guangliang sighed:
"My daughter's best friend didn't want to be beaten, so she tricked my daughter into it. My daughter didn't want to be beaten, so she then tricked Yin Zhongyu's son into it."
"But they didn't have much money on them, so the organization was dissatisfied and wanted to beat them. Fearing being beaten to death, the two of them tricked Yin Zhongyu into taking all his money and fleeing abroad, robbing him of all his family property."
"Yin Zhongyu couldn't swallow this humiliation and voluntarily revealed that I was also very wealthy. So the organization wanted them, along with my daughter, to conspire and trick me over as well..."
Wang Yi: "..."
Wang Yi had suspected from the beginning that things weren't simple, and indeed they weren't!
"Mr. Wang, I'm a homeless person now, my money is gone, my passport is gone. I haven't even seen my daughter, she was probably beaten to death. What should I do?"
"Please save me, I'm truly desperate."
"It's too dangerous here in the Empire; there are gunfights every day, and people die all the time!"
"I want to go back home; please help me."
"Home country is better, I want to go back home, Mr. Wang, please help me!"
Wang Yi burst out laughing:
"Hello, hello? What did you say?"
"My signal isn't good here!"
"Could you say that again, hello, hello..."
Soon, Wang Yi directly hung up the phone and blacklisted the number.
Chu Guangliang: "..."
In the past few days, he had sought help from several friends back home, but not a single one was willing to help him.
On the contrary, they were all like Wang Yi, enthusiastically listening to his tragedy, and then claiming "bad signal"!
"Damn it! These bastards!"
The more Chu Guangliang thought about it, the angrier he got, but he was helpless.
Those who are pitiable must have something hateful about them.
Wang Yi felt that the free air of the Empire was more suitable for him to live out the rest of his days.
Definitely don't come back home, seriously.
As for why Chu Guangliang didn't call the police?
90% of cases in the Empire ended without resolution and simply couldn't be solved.
Police resources were limited, and shootings happened every day, everywhere.
Where would they find the time to handle a minor case like his?
Furthermore, for that organization to have grown so large, it naturally had powerful backing.
Regardless of the underworld or the legitimate world, the Empire's police didn't want to get involved in these matters.
They were there to work and earn money, not to gamble with their lives.
It wasn't worth it, truly not worth it.
"Chu Guangliang, Yin Zhongyu, you two should just be homeless people in the Empire and beg for food when there's nothing else to do!"
Wang Yi shook his head:
"There are many homeless people in the Empire, and many places that distribute food, so they won't starve to death. I wish you both success in begging for food every day!"
Song Sining also sighed with emotion:
"Back home, they were multi-millionaires with several properties. But once they went abroad, they were swindled out of all their savings and became homeless. It's truly lamentable."
