Just as Chen Rui and Han Yu were discussing, Li Dong invited Hu Wanlin to have tea together.
Hu Wanlin naturally couldn't wait for Li Dong's invitation.
Ever since the old man behind her died of a heart attack, her days had been getting harder and harder.
Luckily, she used Li Dong's name last time, so outsiders didn't know about her relationship with Li Dong. That was why she restrained herself a little.
However, Hu Wanlin and Li Dong didn't have any relationship after all. The truth was the truth. It was useless to scare people with his reputation.
These days, Hu Wanlin was in a terrible fix.
She had always wanted to find a new backer, but because of her bad reputation, there weren't many people in Jiangbei who dared to accept her, and she didn't like those who were willing to accept her.
It was only now that Hu Wanlin felt a little regretful.
One wrong step led to many wrong steps. If she hadn't ruined her reputation as a loan shark, she wouldn't have fallen into such an awkward situation.
She was a billionaire after all. Her family was a little clean, so it wasn't difficult for her to find a backer.
However, her background wasn't clean, and there were many people who knew about it. Those who were willing to accept her now were probably thinking of taking both her and her wealth.
Hu Wanlin was pleasantly surprised when she received Li Dong's call.
Ever since Li Dong's business became big, she rarely saw Li Dong.
Not to mention, this was the first time Li Dong took the initiative to invite her.
Before Hu Wanlin came, she spent more than an hour on her makeup. She had the intention of seducing Li Dong.
…
In the teahouse.
When Li Dong arrived and saw Hu Wanlin, he really didn't dare to recognize her.
It was said that there were no ugly women, only lazy women.
Once a woman put on makeup, even an ugly woman could become a beauty. Not to mention that Hu Wanlin wasn't ugly to begin with.
She was a woman from the countryside. If it wasn't for her passable looks, she wouldn't have been able to attract the old man.
A woman in her thirties was also the peak of a woman's golden age.
After a few more years, no matter how well they took care of themselves, their health would deteriorate day by day and they would slowly age.
Li Dong took a few more glances and saw Hu Wanlin looking at him with her watery eyes. He found it funny and said, "CEO Hu, if I didn't know better, I would have thought that you came for a blind date today."
"What are you talking about?"
Hu Wanlin giggled and said half-truthfully, "General Manager Li is a very busy man now. He took the initiative to invite me to tea. This is something that many people would be envious of. Of course, I have to take it seriously."
"I'm flattered!"
Li Dong smiled and sat down opposite her.
After sitting down, Li Dong didn't know what to say.
Hu Wanlin saw that he did not speak, but she took the initiative to open the topic. She also knew that Li Dong must have something to talk to her. If there was nothing, Li Dong would not look for her.
After chatting for a while, Hu Wanlin smiled and said, "General Manager Li, we are old friends. If you have anything to say, just say it. You don't have to be polite with me."
Li Dong pondered for a moment and said slowly, "In that case, I will say it directly. CEO Hu, you probably don't know that Qi Guanghe and his son have returned to Pingchuan, right? "
Hu Wanlin's expression changed slightly, and then she forced a smile and said, "Really? I really don't know about this. Why did they come back? "
"Back then, I was also a participant in the photosynthesis. When Secretary Zhang was still there, there was nothing to say, and the father and son of the Qi family did not dare to say anything. But now that Secretary Zhang is gone, you are a woman. Although I don't know the specific process of photosynthesis, if someone is really willing to stand up for the Qi family, you should be in a lot of trouble. And in addition to this matter, before you … "
Li Dong did not continue, but Hu Wanlin understood, but she still struggled and said, "Usury is not against the law!"
Usury was just a general term. As long as the interest did not exceed the law, it was not against the law.
Of course, this was only on the surface.
In fact, the origin of a lot of the money from usury was questionable. If they really wanted to investigate, they would not pursue the problem of the usury, but the problems that were involved.
When Hu Wanlin did this, she was also helping that person to launder the money in his hands.
Now that that person was dead, according to Hua Xia's national conditions, he was dead, and the debt would not be pursued anymore.
But after that person died, most of this money was swallowed by Hu Wanlin.
That person also had a wife and children, how could she not know at all?
If someone added fuel to the fire, Hu Wanlin would definitely not be able to escape this disaster.
Not to mention that when it came to usury, Hu Wanlin did not necessarily follow the rules. In order to get back the money, she had used all kinds of methods.
As long as she wanted to find fault, Hu Wanlin was really full of loopholes.
Naturally, Hu Wanlin herself knew this, so after the old man died, she had been so low-key, wanting everyone to forget her.
Unexpectedly, now the father and son of the Qi family had returned.
Although she said it was not against the law, Hu Wanlin's face was gloomy, and she looked at Li Dong with a pleading expression.
Li Dong had taken the initiative to talk to her about this, so naturally, he had a reason.
If he really wanted to tell her this news, he could have just made a phone call. There was no need for him to show up in person.
Li Dong said slowly, "Whether it's against the law or not, it's not up to you. President Hu, there are some things that you know better than me. This time, Qi Guanghe was ordered by someone to take revenge on you. His goal is to take back photosynthesis or the money that he lost. "
When Hu Wanlin heard the words "ordered by someone", her eyes turned and she hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, you have to save me! I will do whatever you want me to do. Even if … "
As she spoke, Hu Wanlin's hand had already grabbed Li Dong's arm.
The phrase "I will do whatever you want me to do" was even more meaningful. How could Li Dong not understand what she meant?
Seeing that she was about to lean over, Li Dong said helplessly, "President Hu, stop first. I admit that you are very charming, but there's no need for this between us.
I've worked with Mr. Hu a few times. Honest people don't beat around the bush. There are some things that I won't hide.
The person who is targeting you this time is very powerful.
Their main goal is to attack me through you. After all, you and I have worked together a few times, and they think that you have something on me.
But to be honest, they are overthinking it.
I have worked with President Hu a few times, and that was all serious business. President Hu should be clear about this.
However, I will remember your kindness. Back then, when I was able to take down Ke Long and drive Yao Hong away, President Hu helped me a lot.
Come to think of it, it was also because of me that Boss Hu was targeted.
I'm a straightforward person. If I say one thing, I say one. If I say two, I say two.
If I really don't care about it, President Hu can't blame me. After all, I didn't ask President Hu to do those things a few years ago.
You have a lot of information on yourself. Even if you are not targeted this time, sooner or later, you will be targeted.
Of course, I am not shirking responsibility, and there is no need … "
After Li Dong spoke for a while, Hu Wanlin said with a sad face, "General Manager Li, you don't need to say more. I know these things in my heart. It is not General Manager Li's fault. On the day that my old man died, I knew that I would not have a good life in the future. General Manager Li did not come to me today to remind me of this. What do you want me to do? Just say it. "
Li Dong pondered for a while and said, "President Hu, if you trust me, after this, I promise that you will be able to walk under the sun in the future. Moreover, your wealth will also become clean. But … "
"I agree!"
Hu Wanlin did not need him to say anything else. She agreed without hesitation.
As for what Li Dong wanted to do and what he wanted her to do, Hu Wanlin had to believe it whether she believed it or not.
She had no other choice now. Moreover, she was aware of the news that Li Dong said.
It was certain that she was being targeted.
It was not that she did not know that someone was investigating her background, but she was not a big shot. She could not wash her background clean.
Instead of living in fear all day long, it was better to rely on Li Dong.
Li Dong was the richest man in the country. Even if there were rumors that he and Shen Qian had a falling out, and he did not have Du Anmin's protection, it did not matter.
The current Li Dong did not only rely on Du Anmin. He had his own roots.
Especially in Jiangbei, Li Dong's influence was so great that only the people in Jiangbei knew about it.
People like Qin Hanyuan were natural supporters of Li Dong.
For Hu Wanlin, Wu Changguo was enough for her to bow down to him, let alone Qin Hanyuan.
Seeing that she was so straightforward, Li Dong was slightly surprised, but he soon said, "President Hu, you are so straightforward. It seems that I am indecisive. Then I will tell you my purpose. This time, the person who targeted you is Chen Rui. You should be familiar with him. Chen Rui is nothing. If it was only him, I would have dealt with him long ago. In addition to Chen Rui, there are others involved. Let's not talk about others. Do you know Han Yu? "
"I have heard of her. So it is her!" Hu Wanlin looked disappointed.
Who was Han Yu? She was Jia Wenhao's wife, the daughter-in-law of the Jia Family.
This kind of person targeted a loan shark like her. Was there any suspense in the outcome?
Li Dong continued, "What I want you to do is very simple. Save yourself!
Think of a way to contact Chen Rui now. He is very short of money and loves money as much as his life.
In order to save yourself, you can give him 30% of Guanghe Group's shares to look for a backer. It is not abrupt at all.
Chen Rui is not enough. He does not have much influence in Jiangbei now. It is best to use him to establish a relationship with Han Yu.
That woman is also a ruthless person. Guanghe Group has hundreds of millions of assets. If you give her half of the shares, she will definitely be tempted.
When the time comes, they will definitely ask about me. You can just make up something to fool them.
As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it.
As for the remaining shares of Guanghe Group, don't keep them. Use them to settle the Qi Family.
Although the Qi Family withdrew from Guanghe Group, they still took the money. Although they suffered losses, it was at most 20 to 30 million.
Qi Guanghe dared to show his face now because he was indignant and wanted to take back what belonged to him.
As long as he received the benefits, he wasn't a fool and wouldn't stand out again.
Of course, I can't give him this money for no reason. At that time, everyone was willing, and the transfer of Guanghe Group's shares was legal. There was no reason to give him money again.
But didn't I smash his clubhouse at that time?
He suffered a huge loss, and I will compensate him dozens of times. That should be enough, right?
… "
Hu Wanlin listened attentively. When she heard that Li Dong had finished distributing the shares of Guanghe Group, her face changed.
Li Dong knew what she was thinking and smiled. "After this is over, I guarantee that Guanghe will still be yours. But the future Guanghe Group will not be the same as it is now. The shares in Han Yu and Chen Rui's hands will be returned sooner or later. As for the Qi Family, I will use money to buy back the shares. The new Guanghe Group will not be mixed with anything, and its background is clean. When the time comes, it will be under Far away Group's name. Treat it as my compensation to you. "
There was no free lunch in the world.
Hu Wanlin had understood this logic since she was young.
Li Dong had cleaned up Guanghe Group and gave it to her. This wasn't a matter of hundreds of thousands or millions.
Guanghe Group was worth a lot now. If she really wanted to sell it, people would want it even if it was sold for 200 million.
With so much money, no matter how rich Li Dong was, would he give it away for free?
Hu Wanlin took a deep breath. "Other than giving away the shares, what else do I have to do?"
"Turn yourself in!"
"Ah?"
Li Dong smiled faintly and said, "Find a chance to turn yourself in and confess all the things that you can't wash away.
Also, there's the shares. Chen Rui and Han Yu took it by force. You can't fight back and have no choice but to compromise.
Don't worry, as long as you haven't done any business that I don't know about, even if you go in, you'll be sentenced to three to five years at most.
Furthermore, you've turned yourself in and returned your illegal gains. Secretary Zhang is dead, and Jiangbei won't pursue this matter. It's more likely that the case will be closed in secret.
This matter won't blow up, and you can handle it quietly. Your sentence will only be shorter.
I'll look for Secretary Wu to help you. Perhaps a year later, you can come back and take charge of the new Guanghe Group.
Of course, at that time, no one can say anything even if you change your name to Wanlin Group.
So far away, no one will dare to do anything to you. "
Hu Wanlin wasn't in a hurry to speak. She was weighing the pros and cons in her heart.
There were naturally many cons. She would lose the Guanghe Group and her savings. She would also completely offend Chen Rui and Han Yu. Furthermore, she would still have to go in.
Of course, there were pros. Most importantly, she only needed to go in, and the past would be over.
If Li Dong could really keep his promise and return the Guanghe Group to her, it would be equivalent to her spending a year in jail in exchange for a company worth hundreds of millions.
A year in jail, or even more, in exchange for a company worth hundreds of millions. Was it worth it?
Without a doubt, it was definitely worth it.
With so many people in Hua Xia, other than a select few, no matter who you offered this condition to, they would gladly agree.
Wasn't it just going in? Tens of millions a year? Who wouldn't be willing as long as they didn't lose their lives?
But could Li Dong's words be trusted?
If he didn't keep his promise, what could Hu Wanlin do to him?
Without Li Dong's help, there was nothing she could do as a woman. As for how long she would be sentenced, it wasn't up to her to decide.
The struggle in Hu Wanlin's eyes was obvious. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "I can agree, but you have to agree to two conditions!"
"Speak."
"First, Chen Rui and Han Yu can't take revenge on me after this."
Li Dong sneered, "Of course, you don't have to say that. I just don't want to touch Chen Rui now. Otherwise, he would have become a dead dog long ago! As for Han Yu, after this, the best outcome for her is to stay at home, wash clothes, and cook. If Jia Wenhao is ruthless, it's not impossible for him to put justice before family. In short, she won't be a threat in the future! "
As for Han Yu's ending, Li Dong already had a plan.
If Jia Wenhao was willing to pay a high price for Han Yu, then Han Yu would be a housewife in the future. That would be the best outcome.
If Jia Wenhao was unwilling to pay the price, or if the Jia Family couldn't tolerate Han Yu, then what would happen to Han Yu, Li Dong didn't have to worry about it.
If the Jia Family didn't protect Han Yu, just the things that happened to Han Yu would be enough to make her suffer.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Hu Wanlin didn't hesitate.
In fact, as soon as Li Dong said that, she guessed that this time, Li Dong wanted to scheme against those people. After being schemed against by Li Dong, it would be strange if they could get away with it.
It was unlikely that these people still had the energy to take revenge on her.
What Hu Wanlin really cared about was the issue of photosynthesis.
This was an industry with assets of over a hundred million. What could she do if Li Dong didn't return it to her?
She had given everything, even her body, to please that old guy in various ways. The best years of her youth had passed.
It wasn't easy for her to get the glory and wealth she had now. How could she be willing to give it up?
It was rare for Li Dong to fail to fulfill his promises.
But in this kind of matter, Hu Wanlin didn't have the confidence to trust a person's character.
If it were Hu Wanlin, she would measure others by herself.
If she had this kind of opportunity, not to mention returning the money, she was afraid that in order to avoid future trouble, she would let that person stay in there for the rest of his life to avoid trouble.
Hu Wanlin didn't know if Li Dong would make such a choice.
Therefore, to give herself another layer of protection, Hu Wanlin continued, "Secondly, since you want me to turn myself in, it's not convenient for me to have any assets under my name, in case it gets confiscated. But I know that Switzerland sells bearer bonds … "
As soon as she said that, Li Dong understood.
After thinking for a while, Li Dong nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't have much money on hand now. Even if I break my promise, 50 million yuan is enough for you to spend for the rest of your life. In fact, I, Li Dong, have a reputation far beyond photosynthesis. "
"Of course I trust General Manager Li, but you also know that I'm a woman, alone and without anyone to rely on. All these years, I've sacrificed too much. I don't dare to trust anyone easily, even you, General Manager Li. I want to trust you, but you have to understand me … "
Hu Wanlin's tears flowed down as she said that. She choked and said, "I know that in front of you, I'm just a chess piece that can be abandoned at any time. I don't mind being a chess piece. In order to survive, in order to live a better life, I don't care about anything, even my dignity. Back then, in order to serve that old thing, I … "
Hu Wanlin's words after that were a little unbearable to watch.
Li Dong's face turned slightly red when he heard that, and he hurriedly interrupted, "Director Hu, I understand. These things are all in the past, and I, Li Dong, will never lose my promise!"
"Thank you, General Manager Li, for understanding."
Hu Wanlin cried like a pear blossom in the rain, and she self-deprecatingly said, "I've let General Manager Li see a joke. If this matter really comes to fruition, I'll thank General Manager Li for the rest of my life. I have nothing to repay General Manager Li now. If you don't mind, my broken body … "
"Ahem!"
Li Dong smiled bitterly, and the scenes that Hu Wanlin had just said flashed in his mind. Then, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Well, Director Hu, you don't have to be so polite …"
"You're welcome, you're really welcome …"
Li Dong listened to it awkwardly. He said it awkwardly, and Hu Wanlin's reply was also awkward.
He didn't dare to stay any longer. Li Dong simply gave a few words of advice and ran away without looking back.
If he stayed any longer, he was really a little afraid that he couldn't bear it.
It wasn't that he hadn't seen women before, but the key was that a woman in front of you didn't care about anything. What if he was pushed back?
This was something that others couldn't do, but Hu Wanlin really didn't have any scruples.
Anyway, she was doing it for money. Sleeping with Li Dong once could make Li Dong give all his money to her. In her opinion, it was worth it.
Unfortunately, Li Dong ran too fast, and it was in the teahouse. Otherwise, Hu Wanlin would probably have taken action.
