None of Guan Ge’s Business!

680: Chapter 680: Serves You Right!

None of Guan Ge’s Business!

The call didn’t get through.

After several attempts, there was still no answer.

Perhaps they were busy and didn’t notice, or perhaps they had no intention of picking up at all.

But what no one would have guessed was that at half-past three in the afternoon, Wu Jie was actually still asleep.

There were three matches last night, two upsets and one goal fest.

The fans were thrilled, the business at the bar was bustling, and after a whole night of busyness, how could he not be sleeping soundly?

The calls kept failing to connect.

They gave up.

After all, they had reached out to Star Cloud Internet Technology beforehand, and were clearly told that Deng Hua and over two hundred other employees had been laid off.

Although no reason for the layoffs was given, to outsiders…

Deng Hua, lying in the intensive care unit, evidently did not have a good relationship with Wu Jie, the renowned figure of Tianyuan.

Deng Hua’s elderly father claimed the two men were good brothers.

Many family friends had borrowed money and they were out of borrowing options.

Wu Jie not only lent over a million to save their lives in a critical moment but also promoted and valued Deng Hua greatly…

So why would he fire a good brother?

The police, of course, had no time to investigate such gossip.

Their main task was to investigate and handle the accident and assist the hospital in treating the injured.

Now that the injured were out of danger, the matter of medical expenses arose.

The costs of dispatching ambulances and rescue helicopters could be waived.

Even the hospital’s emergency fees could be waived, but a considerable amount of medical resources had been consumed, and they had to charge for that!

Moreover, the injuries were extremely serious, requiring at least 48 hours of observation in the intensive care unit.

If there were sudden complications, they would need to continue emergency treatment.

Legally,

in the event of a major accident, the traffic police can notify the insurance company covering the vehicle involved.

They can have them advance the compensation within the limits of coverage to the hospital, but the maximum amount is only ten thousand yuan.

A mere ten thousand yuan, divided among four seriously injured patients, is simply not enough.

And.

The accident was too big and too serious.

Thorough investigation and issuance of the traffic accident liability statement would inevitably take time.

Insurance companies, after all, follow procedures and wait for the claim application based on the accident determination before proceeding.

Therefore, whether it’s Luo Chenyun’s Land Rover’s vehicle insurance or Deng Hua and Chen Yong’s personal accident commercial insurance,

these insurance procedures and compensations all need time.

What to do?

In the hospital, various expenses meant that at least several tens of thousands of yuan were immediately needed.

But with Wu Jie out of reach, and Deng Hua’s elderly father turning to others only to be fobbed off with various excuses, no money was lent.

This time, they were in a plight.

Who would lend money to a family that had just suffered successive misfortunes, with two patients still unwell at home, and the sole breadwinner Deng Hua now severely ill and hospitalized?

With no reliable source of income, who would lend them money?

Besides, if relatives and friends could have lent the money, Deng Hua wouldn’t have had to turn to Wu Jie in desperation to borrow money in the middle of the night.

Unable to borrow money, what else could they do?

Deng Hua’s elderly father knew that when his son had borrowed more than a million from Wu Jie, there was still a substantial amount left.

Therefore, he pleaded with the doctors and the police for help.

They took Deng Hua’s phone, which hadn’t been smashed in the accident, to unlock it with his fingerprint and withdraw money from his Messenger account to pay the fee.

And to contact the bank to withdraw some money from Deng Hua’s account.

However…

Before they could contact the bank, the old man passed out from anger.

Because after Deng Hua’s phone was unlocked, it revealed a terrifying sight.

In the inbox, there were numerous bank messages.

The credit card with a hundred-thousand-yuan limit was maxed out, and the savings account with over fifty thousand yuan was also drained.

Now, there was no need to bother the police with contacting the bank for help.

Deng Hua himself was broke.

As for Chen Yong…

His wife soon discovered this too and was dumbstruck on the spot.

And to add insult to injury…

Luo Chenyun brought over the IOUs signed by the two men.

Having been laid off, they planned to start their own businesses; using their houses and cars as collateral, they each borrowed eight hundred thousand yuan from Luo Chenyun.

Who is Luo Chenyun?

He had been in the credit business at Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co.

for many years, knew how to prevent debt disputes legally and appropriately.

Therefore, there was absolutely no flaw in his provided IOUs, all very legal.

But in reality…

Luo Chenyun privately only gave them seven hundred thousand and made them sign a supplementary agreement that the interest on overdue payments was the maximum allowed by the state.

Criminals aren’t scary, what’s scary is a well-educated criminal.

Having worked in the credit industry for many years, Luo Chenyun wouldn’t make basic mistakes.

Charging an interest rate higher than the national standard would be usury, and wouldn’t be recognized in court.

Furthermore, relationships of debt arising from crime are also illegal and thus would not be recognized.

Therefore, his IOUs were full of adequate reasons, all legitimate and reasonable.

Deng Hua and Chen Yong, both of whom were let go, were corporate executives, members of the social elite.

They might have genuinely intended to start their own businesses, hence the legitimate and reasonable excuse for borrowing money.

But now…

The debt borne by the families of Deng Hua and Chen Yong was even greater.

What to do?

Surely they couldn’t be expected to sell their homes to treat injuries and pay off debts, right?

Deng Hua’s elderly father, in successive fits of rage, deteriorated in health and also needed to be hospitalized for observation and treatment.

All the pressure had shifted onto Chen Yong’s wife, Fang Yan.

She was desperate and promptly called Wu Jie.

When Wu Jie married Tang Xiao, Deng Hua and Chen Yong had not only brought their families but also Fang Yan was a student at Tianyan Polytechnic and a schoolmate of Wu Jie, who had often had meals together during their school days.

Fang Yan still failed to get through, but she did send Wu Jie a message explaining the situation.

As for the hospital’s demand for payment, she had no other choice but to use her own credit card and advance fifty thousand yuan to cope for the time being,

pinning all her hopes for a lifesaver on Wu Jie.

…

The dying sun bled in the sky.

When Wu Jie woke, it was already dusk.

My wife, Tang Xiao, was away on a business trip, leaving me bereft of her beauty by my side, making my heart feel empty.

I pulled out my charging phone, and just after unlocking it, I saw several missed calls and messages.

Two missed calls, each dialed many times.

One of them was from Fang Yan, Chen Yong’s wife.

What’s that supposed to mean?

Could it be that after Chen Yong and Deng Hua left last night, they didn’t return all night, so she called me to ask for them?

Did she still think this was college?

If she couldn’t find her boyfriend, she would call his dormmate, Wu Jie?

Wu Jie snorted lightly, with no intention of replying.

Opening the messages.

Fang Yan actually sent quite a few, is that really necessary?

Wasn’t Chen Yong supposed to be getting it on with Deng Hua, plagiarizing a bigwig’s APP to start a business in hopes of getting rich quick?

What situation calls for so many messages?

A touch of curiosity crossed my mind, but in the end…

Wu Jie couldn’t be bothered to listen and just deleted them.

My heart’s already been through enough, why seek out more trouble?

Scrolling down, I found a picture sent by my wife, Tang Xiao.

It was of Tang Xiao standing at the entrance of a business jet.

In the picture.

Aseyah had arranged a whole armored vehicle convoy to welcome her, quite formidable indeed!

Humvees leading the way, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles at the rear, soldiers with live ammunition for protection.

I guess Aseyah was also pissed off by the chain of hotel bombings last time and feared possible sabotage.

So they simply dispatched an elite armored force to welcome Tang Xiao, ensuring nothing went wrong.

If just picking her up is this big of a show, won’t tomorrow’s Zhuzhou SAM project groundbreaking ceremony be even grander?

Combat jets patrolling the skies?

Tanks and armored vehicles for protection?

I’m really looking forward to it!

But over in Aseyah, it’s noon, so Tang Xiao is probably attending a welcoming luncheon right now.

With such a high-level meal, there’s no need to interrupt with a video call, just a message will do.

After scrolling through the social media updates, I got out of bed to wash up and change clothes, ready to go have dinner at the restaurant.

Every day we recruited chefs and waitstaff, but the business was so good that it always seemed like we couldn’t keep up.

When I arrived at the restaurant, there were already quite a few customers.

Many of them were talking about the terrible car accident that happened this morning, the worst in Tianyuan’s history.

Dozens of cars collided into one another, the scene was just unimaginably horrific.

And now.

Since the eight o’clock competition hadn’t started yet, each high-definition LCD TV was broadcasting the local news channel of Tianyuan.

There was a news broadcast at six, and Wu Jie watched curiously for a while.

I must say, the accident was truly devastating.

Dozens of wreckers and a large number of sanitation workers were deployed, taking most of the day to clean up and restore traffic.

And the Land Rover that caused the accident was naturally battered and completely wrecked beyond repair.

However, the broadcast switched to a hospital scene.

As the reporter interviewed the attending doctor, there was a woman sitting on a bench in the corridor behind him, and Wu Jie recognized her at a glance.

Wasn’t that Chen Yong’s wife, Fang Yan?

What was she doing there with her head buried?

Sleeping?

Or waiting for someone?

“Currently, the four most severely injured victims of the accident have been resuscitated and are out of life-threatening danger.”

“Among them, the family of a certain Deng, due to problems with the cost, became too emotional, leading to a myocardial infarction and is now undergoing treatment in the hospital.”

“Relevant departments and hospital leaders have already discussed the cost issue, hoping to reduce it as much as possible…”

…

Several missed calls?

Quite a few messages?

Coupled with the doctor’s words, Wu Jie roughly understood what had happened.

In this shocking city-wide car accident, Deng Hua and Chen Yong must have been among the injured.

So if Fang Yan called and sent messages, what else could it be but to borrow money?

Damn it!

Do I look like an ATM?

What’s it got to do with me!

The more than a million I lent to Deng Hua previously, he must have had a lot left over, enough to cover hospital treatment.

And Chen Yong, who studied accounting, was quite shrewd with money, had made plenty from investing, and even advised me to invest in stocks, bonds, and futures.

So why play poor?

Did she think I was so dumb and loaded, that the borrowed money wouldn’t need to be returned?

Fang Yan wanted to imitate, right?

Just like Deng Hua, who borrowed more than a hundred thousand, I never pressed him for it!

With a snort and a smile.

Wu Jie lost interest in the news and went straight to the kitchen.

Today, another new chef was reporting for duty; even if Wu Jie didn’t need to cook himself, he still had to play examiner and test the chef’s skills.

Setting up a small table in the backyard, Wu Jie used the dishes prepared by the new chef as his dinner.

Money makes the world go round!

By offering an incredibly high salary, not only providing the five insurances and a housing fund but also free meals and accommodation at Tianyuan Haoting.

With such conditions, we indeed attracted real talent.

Wu Jie tasted the dishes; they were exquisite, with perfect flavor and aroma, deciding on the spot to offer a permanent position without a trial period.

As I was enjoying my meal, Zhang Hao approached with a beaming smile.

“Bro, lend me some money!”

Being a best friend, indeed, he spoke very straight to the point, not beating around the bush.

Though the restaurant had significant cash flow, it was managed by both of our parents, so it was normal for Zhang Hao to be short on money.

Wu Jie immediately rolled his eyes:

“You’re definitely not going to do anything good with it, otherwise, you wouldn’t come to me!

Spill it, what’s the reason, and how much do you need?”

Zhang Hao laughed and said, “Jie knows me best!

I need ten grand, to go have fun with Joy!”

Pfft!

Wu Jie burst into laughter.

“Damn it…

are you trying to kill me with laughter to inherit my fortune?”

Zhang Hao sighed, “My parents don’t like her; they won’t let me bring her home.

Plus, she shares a house with others, and we can’t really let loose because we’re too noisy; we both think a hotel is most suitable.

But I can’t always expect a girl to pay for the room, right?”

Wu Jie’s lips twitched.

This logic…

is genius!

But, crass as the reasoning may be, as a man he should indeed pay for the room; you can’t expect the internet-famous beauty Joy to foot the bill.

Wu Jie held back his laughter and was just about to transfer money to Zhang Hao via message, when Yu Hui called.

“Mr.

Wu, great news!

The research base of the Muto Conglomerate has finally been investigated and clarified!”

…
