Zhutian: Since I was a child, I have been happy to be a father

There was a roar of thunder outside, and then a rainstorm began to fall. The meeting room of Shenggu Group was also gloomy and stormy.

On the conference table lay a pile of account books and reports from previous years, all flipped through, like death warrants.

Gu Li was in a low mood, her delicate little face was pale, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and her brows were wrinkled like a ball of paper, unable to relax.

Her boyfriend Gu Yuan was sitting next to her, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Like ME, Shenggu also had funds transferred. Although the amount was not hundreds of millions, it was at least 70 million.

There is no need to think too much about what this means and the plot set up by the Gong family; it is already obvious.

Gu Li's father, Gu Yansheng, who had his skull pierced by a steel bar and died in a horror movie, was undoubtedly an accomplice of Gong Xun and had collaborated to transfer company funds.

After his death, Gong Xun set his sights on his buddy's company.

However, Gong Xun didn't expect that he would have an accident first and is now receiving emergency treatment in the hospital, while his partners are baring their fangs and want to eat up their good buddy.

Chen Tao leaned back in his chair, put his feet on the conference table, and smoked quietly without saying a word.

The wisps of smoke added a bit of sadness.

He didn't want to watch the fun, but since Gu Li invited him and gave him money, he had no choice but to come and take a look.

Cheng Qiqi only gave 10,000 yuan, but he gave it to Wen Nuan. Gu Li gave 20,000 yuan, and he couldn't justify not giving it.

Gu Li's adoptive mother, Lin Yilan, who was in her early fifties and dressed meticulously every day, finally couldn't stand this boredom anymore and shouted:

"I didn't get a cent of the missing 70 million! You can just take the shares you earned as compensation! Anyway, the apartment is my property now and cannot be touched!"

Chen Tao said frankly: "It depends on whether the remaining shares in your hands can compensate for the 70 million, as well as the associated loss of reputation and potential impact on the company's continued operation. Of course, I don't recommend you sell the shares, because Shenggu's business situation is quite good. It can barely be regarded as a hen that can lay golden eggs. Once you sell it, it will be difficult to make a comeback. The current business competition is really fierce. If you fall behind, it will be very difficult to catch up."

Lin Yilan glared at him angrily, then shouted to Gu Li:
"Speak up! Where is the money your father took away now? Is it in the hands of your bitch mother? Damn it, she must have given it to her!"

She didn't get angry with Brother Tao.

Apart from the more than 600 kilograms of gold he picked up, Brother Tao really didn't do anything to let her down. In fact, she had no share of the gold.

The money that Brother Tao earned was from the small and medium shareholders of the Constanly Group and Ye Chuanping, not her money.

Although Gu Yuan had always been extremely unhappy with Brother Tao, he did not speak out or express his dissatisfaction with his behavior this time.

Thirty million is certainly a lot.

But compared with the money he spent on buying shares from Gong Ming, he could still tell which was more important.

According to the rules, he should express his gratitude to Brother Tao, but since his parents had already thanked him, he was reluctant to do so. Brother Tao was magnanimous and didn't care.

Gu Li just snorted to express his dissatisfaction with his adoptive mother's rude words, and then comforted her:
"Don't worry, the 70 million will definitely not be lost. I have arranged for Li Ao and Gu Zhun to go and look for it. As long as they can find it and fill this hole, then everything will be fine. We can also take this opportunity to take back the controlling stake!"

Lin Yilan can be anxious now, but she must not panic and must stay calm.

Lin Yilan immediately asked: "What if you can't find it?"

Chen Tao said, "Then you have three options left. First, use the equity you have to pay off the debt. Second, use part of the equity and real estate to pay off the debt. Third, find someone to borrow money to get through this difficult time."

Then he looked at Gu Yuan and said, "You are Gu Li's boyfriend, and your family is rich, can you help me in my time of need?"

Without waiting for Gu Yuan to speak, Gu Li asked him jokingly:
"You are also a friend, shouldn't you also help?"

Chen Tao smiled and shook his head: "Friends have the obligation to share money, but this obligation has an upper limit after all. Seven hundred thousand is fine, and I don't even want interest; seventy million is also fine, but I have to talk business. The maximum interest rate for private lending is 36%, which I think is too low. It should be calculated based on opportunity cost. Last year's market was good, so I don't need to calculate last year. My average annual return is over one hundred, but since you are a friend, I can give you a % discount, and calculate it based on seventy million, which is thirty-five million per year. This is not cost-effective. After all, your company does not have such a high net interest rate anyway. As for debt-to-equity swaps, the same goes for the same reason. The return is too low, and I don't want Shenggu Group."

Was the market good last year?
Bragging!
Gu Yuan thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, this bastard was indeed a bit weird. He drank a sip of tea, patted his chest and promised:
"Gu Li, don't worry. If I can't find the money, I will definitely find a way to get it for you."

Chen Tao immediately applauded and said, "What a good boyfriend! But I have to pour some cold water on you now. Your mother may be willing to lend money under two conditions. One is to ask Gu Li to pledge the equity to her, and the other is to force you to break up. What will be the result? Your mother swallowed Sheng Gu and avoided Gu Li, whom she hated, as her daughter-in-law. It really killed two birds with one stone."

Gu Yuan snorted: "I will use my own money!"

Chen Tao couldn't hold back and laughed, "Ms. Ye suspended your credit card and you have to borrow money to get by. Where do you get the money from? The little money you earn can't even support your current life. You won't be able to live in a mansion or drive a Mercedes-Benz for the rest of your life, let alone give 70 million to Gu Li? Forget it! If you really love Gu Li that much, just let her go and use breaking up with Gu Li as a condition to get the 70 million to save your life from your mother! Loving her doesn't necessarily mean you have to be with her!"

"You're dreaming!"

Gu Yuan stood up and said angrily: "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You want me to spend money and leave Gu Li so that you can take advantage of the situation!"

Gu Li shouted, "Gu Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with him! I would rather go bankrupt than bow to your mother and don't want you to take the money!"

The two looked at each other passionately.

Lin Yilan stared at Brother Tao and felt that he was more suitable for Gu Li.

As long as he is willing to pay.

Brother Tao put out his cigarette and said with a smile:

"Both of you calm down and wait patiently for news from the brothers. Of course, it's possible that Constanli's people will arrive first. I believe Gong Ming will not put up a fight and will honestly explain his family's various calculations. After all, his shares in ME are still legal, and according to the rules, he can still enjoy compensation from Shenggu or ask you to buy back his shares."

Gu Li said angrily: "He knew in advance that Sheng Gu had a hole and set up the trap on purpose!"

Chen Tao lit another soft cigarette, took a sip comfortably, and said with some emotion:
"It was indeed a trap set by him, but you have no evidence. He must compensate Ms. Ye and other shareholders of the Constanly Group for their losses due to ME's hole, but you also have to compensate. The evidence is very detailed, and you will definitely not be able to deny your debt. Fortunately, the promise you signed did not include a gambling agreement, otherwise you would still owe hundreds of millions after pawning your pants."

Gu Li became autistic again.

There is no other way, we can only hope for the 70 million.

The problem is, how easy is it to find this life-saving straw? Even if Brother Tao didn't bring the gold bricks home, he would have to wait until the typhoon next year to destroy the cabin before Li Ao and others could find the hidden gold bricks!
In short, it's very difficult.

At 4:15 pm, the audit and financial personnel of Constantine Group and ME came to Shenggu Group.

Gu Li did not resist and gave the meeting room to them, which saved them the effort of moving the account books.

Of course, Gu Li did not personally cooperate with their investigation, but asked the current financial manager to handle it.

Almost at the same time, Li Ao and Gu Zhun also returned to the company.

Naturally, the two brothers did not discover anything on this trip.

Brother Tao did not leave. Instead, he waited for Lin Xiao, who came with those people, to finish telling him about the current situation at the Gong family before he said goodbye to Gu Li.

There is obviously no need to hold a birthday party tonight.

Lin Xiao learned from Kitty that Gong Xun's surgery was over, but he might not wake up, which means that the old fox has become a vegetable.

This is not surprising. After all, it is now nearly a year earlier than in the book, and his health is relatively better. He did not die directly from a stroke.

In this case, Gong Ming would have to clean up the mess and would not be able to come to organize a birthday party for Gu Li.

After leaving Shenggu, Chen Tao went directly to find his wife and sister and shared with them what he had seen and heard today. Xiaoyun was young, but after all, she was the one who had asked Ye Chuanping for a price, and she also received a huge dowry of 30 million. Although it had to be kept in the hands of her brother for the time being, she had already developed a strong interest in it.

Although she secretly worked hard to study and become her brother's right-hand man when she grew up, her popularity soon faded into a passing fad.

She didn't have to try hard at all.

A life of eating, drinking and having fun is more suitable for her physique.

The next day, there was a thunderstorm.

Chen Tao became a stay-at-home mom, curled up on the sofa watching movies and occasionally replying to messages from Gu Li, feeling quite comfortable.

Xiaoyun sat next to him, also leisurely eating snacks, drinking beverages, and crossing her feet comfortably.

No need to practice calligraphy or preview, it’s so cool!
This is how summer vacation should be spent.

It’s still better to live at my brother’s house. I don’t have to face my mother in menopause.

The sisters Yi Yao and Gu Senxiang were not in the living room, but in the study, discussing things that interested them.

For example, Qi Ming, a man they both once liked or had a little crush on.

We weren't going to discuss him originally, but he was going back to Beijing soon, so we invited everyone to a dinner together in the QQ group.

Yi Yao joked: "Xiangxiang, your ex-boyfriend still seems to have feelings for you! I firmly support you!"

Gu Senxiang snorted, "The feelings between him and me are not as deep as those between you two childhood sweethearts. If you ever want to change your mind in the future, I will also be willing to persuade my husband to let you go."

When Yi Yao heard this, how could she still be willing to talk about martial ethics? She immediately hugged Gu Senxiang's slender waist, pushed her down, and then stretched out her hand to pull her face, saying angrily: "You are my husband! I am the eldest wife, and you are just the little wife, you have to listen to me."

The two have debated more than once about who is older and who is younger.

But there are too many criteria for judging, such as who comes first, who comes later, who is older, who is younger, who is taller, who is shorter, who is bigger, who is smaller, etc. In short, there are so many different criteria that both sides have their own opinions.

He fought all the way to Brother Tao, and asked him to distinguish the major and minor wives and arrange their seating.

Is this difficult for Brother Tao?

It’s obviously not a problem!

Brother Tao, who was not fond of fighting but was good at resolving conflicts, used his brain and creatively came up with a plan to take turns to be the banker, that is, when the odd number came, Yaoyao would be the first wife, and when the even number came, Xiangxiang would be the first wife, so that the two families would stop fighting.

And today is the nineteenth.

Therefore, Gu Senxiang had no way to refute and had to lose the upper hand and fight back reluctantly.

After all, Yi Yao is a senior and has received more reinforcement. He is also tougher in character than Gu Senxiang and basically has the upper hand every time they fight.

After a while, Gu Senxiang was breathless and was controlled by her.

At this time, Xiaoyun pushed open the door and saw Yi Yao holding Gu Senxiang, hooking the beautiful woman's delicate chin with his right hand, his eyes were as deep and profound as the abyss, and he wanted to lead her to a road of no return...

"Sorry to bother you!"

Xiaoyun ran away immediately, but how could Yiyao allow her to escape? He forcibly took her away from Brother Tao.

Two minutes later, Xiaoyun completely believed the explanations of her two sisters-in-law and understood their struggle for the position of the eldest wife.

But then trouble came.

Yi Yao asked: "Xiao Yun, as a sister-in-law, do you support me or Xiang Xiang?"

Xiaoyun smiled and said, "What day are you coming today? Is it the 19th? Then I will definitely support you!"

Yi Yao complained: "How could he even tell you something like this!"

Xiao Yun said proudly: "I am my brother's confidant and a golden undercover agent! He has nothing to hide from me!"

Gu Senxiang hugged her, pinched her round face, and said with emotion:

"How nice it would be if I could have a sister like you?"

Xiaoyun's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and joked:

"Sister-in-law Yaoyao, tell me, if Brother Senxi was a girl, a sister who looked like Sister-in-law Xiangxiang, what would my brother do?"

Yi Yao sighed softly, "Another love rival! Your brother is too playboy, he won't allow Senxi to fall in love with someone else. When you look for a partner in the future, you must keep your eyes open and stay away from this kind of scumbag!"

"Sister Senxi, hahahaha, sister-in-law Xiangxiang, I can't take it anymore, please help me and rub my belly~"

Xiaoyun's mouth was crooked with laughter, and she rolled around in Gu Senxiang's arms.

It’s no wonder she made fun of Gu Senxi.

It’s all because Si Niang’s setting is unreliable.

Gu Senxi actually looks like a male version of Gu Senxiang. If he changes into women's clothes, he will definitely charm a lot of people.

Similarly, Gu Li’s younger brother Gu Zhun also looks very much like her.

Pure female painters are forced to pretend to be men, such as Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Totsuka Ayaka.

There was thunder outside.

In the living room.

Gu Senxi didn't know that the three girls in the study, including his best sister, were plotting against him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't mind.

If there is no arrangement one day, he would mind.

He still loved Yi Yao deeply, and loved being arranged by her, and no one else could do anything about it.

There will still be thunderstorms accompanied by strong winds in the afternoon and evening.

The four of them still didn't go out and played mahjong at home.

As for Xiaoyun, she also sat next to her brother and watched.

Learning is impossible to learn.

But it is necessary to study the eating, drinking and having fun.
