At that moment.
Gu Feier’s face was covered in tears.
While crying, she murmured, "I’m so foolish, truly. I blindly trusted you, forgetting that such good things don’t exist in this world."
"Nearly 30% returns? How could there be such a financial product! I, a top university graduate, actually believed such nonsense!"
Gu Feier looked at the stunned Lin Chen and cried out as she pushed him, "What are you standing there for? Go report it to the police!"
Only then did Lin Chen snap back to reality.
He foolishly stood up, muttering, "Right, right, the police, the police will help me."
He then looked at Gu Feier, pretending to be calm as he comforted her, "Feifei, don’t worry, we will definitely get the money back."
"How are you going to get it? You don’t even know where he is. Hurry up and report it to the police!" Gu Feier shouted.
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, before finally walking out of the house.
Gu Feier was left alone, sitting on the floor, crying in agony.
"Why... why did I believe his lies, why was I so blind initially!"
With that said, she shakily took out her phone and dialed Gu Wenhua’s number.
"Hello, Daddy..."
At that moment, Gu Wenhua was in a meeting.
After receiving his daughter’s call, he signaled to everyone and then stepped out of the conference room.
Sun Miao, sitting beside the conference table, didn’t pay much attention.
Thinking it was just one of his fishing buddies calling.
However, standing at the conference room door, Gu Wenhua was sweating cold sweat.
He listened as Gu Feier said on the phone: "Dad... that investment was a scam. I was cheated by my boyfriend, who naïvely trusted someone else, and that person gambled away our money! Sob... Dad, I’m sorry."
Gu Wenhua’s head buzzed.
Even his legs began to feel weak.
He had to steady himself against a wall to remain upright.
Sensing something was off, Sun Miao walked out of the conference room and saw Gu Wenhua drenched in sweat and looking somber. She sensed that something bad had happened.
Knowing how guilty and upset Gu Feier must be feeling, Gu Wenhua comforted her, "It’s okay, Feifei, if that money is gone, it’s gone. It’s alright. I don’t blame you. But you should break up with that boyfriend of yours, and Dad will introduce someone better to you."
"Daddy, I was too willful before, now I realize how good you are."
"Alright, Feifei, it’s okay, Dad is still in a meeting. Calm down a bit..."
With that, Gu Wenhua hung up the phone.
He then took a deep breath and turned back to enter the conference room.
But as he turned, he saw Sun Miao.
Gu Wenhua jumped, embarrassed, "Miao, what... why did you come out?"
"What happened?" Sun Miao asked.
Finding no escape, Gu Wenhua awkwardly explained, "Nothing much, it’s just that Feifei, she got involved with the wrong person and was scammed of some investment money. I’ve already told her to go to the police."
"What?" Sun Miao furrowed her brows: "So the six hundred thousand you lent her is all gone?"
Unable to meet Sun Miao’s eyes, Gu Wenhua tried to change the subject, "Well, it’s not too bad... Young girl, lacking life experience, it’s normal."
"But it’s six hundred thousand!" Sun Miao clenched her teeth, "You... well, it’s your daughter, you can give her as much as you want, but you have to return the three hundred thousand of mine. That’s my money."
"Okay, okay..." Gu Wenhua soothed Sun Miao, "Let’s talk about this at home, at home."
Sun Miao complained, "I always said it was unreliable. Who has such high returns in investments? Even overseas doesn’t have such ridiculous rates! And you, with decades of experience in business, and your daughter a high achiever, I really don’t understand..."
But she didn’t complain further, instead sighed, "Forget it, it’s just six hundred thousand. Although our company is short on funds, six hundred thousand is just a minor setback, not enough to cripple us. If we had borrowed more and couldn’t replace our production line equipment, just the penalty fee for not delivering the order on time would be twenty million!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Wenhua’s eyes widened, "What? A penalty of that much? Twenty million?"
"What else?" Sun Miao explained, "The domestic market is tough, and it took us so much effort to secure an overseas order. The counterpart definitely has higher demands, high quality. You were just focused on your fishing rod when I told you before!"
Gu Wenhua felt more sweat pouring out.
In the afternoon.
He returned to his office.
Immediately, he made several phone calls.
"Hello, Old Liu, I need a favor. I’m having some trouble and need to borrow some money..."
"Aguang, it’s me, Old Gu. My company can’t seem to make the funds flow, and I need to borrow some money..."
"Cousin, hey, how have you been? Not great? Ah, you were about to ask me for money? I was planning to ask you!"
After several phone calls, Gu Wenhua, furious, even threw his phone onto the desk, "Damn it, always calling me ’Gu’ or ’Hua’ when times are good, but when I’m in trouble, everyone starts making excuses!"
"I don’t believe I can’t get through this!"
...
In the afternoon, Gao Jun arrived at the Golden Plum Elderly Home.
This time, he was more low-key.
He parked his car across the street before walking to the entrance of the elderly home.
"Hello, I’m here to see Dean Pan," Gao Jun approached the security guard and asked.
The security guard glanced at Gao Jun and then motioned, "Write a registration. Meeting Dean Pan requires an appointment. Do you have an appointment?"
"Uh... I made an appointment with him to meet this afternoon," Gao Jun replied.
Upon hearing this, the security guard retorted, "Just because you say you have an appointment this afternoon doesn’t mean you do. You need an appointment code."
