"Bastard!"
His voice was so penetrating that the air trembled.
He slumped at the entrance of the hotel and threw his phone on the ground. His mood worsened with the sound of it shattering.
"We have a contract with Zhang Xianwen. Why don't we sue him in court?" One of the executives reminded him.
Xiong Haizhou said angrily, "What's the use of a paper contract? If they want to hide, it's bullsh * t! It's useless! "
He hated himself for not collecting a deposit of tens of millions according to the rules. Otherwise, he would have caught something.
He could only blame himself for being too eager for success and trusting Zhang Xianwen too much!
He had always been the one deceiving others. When had it ever been someone else's turn to deceive him?
More importantly, he still didn't know who set him up. Who was his opponent?
There was only one thing he was sure of. The person who set him up was in cahoots with Xu Guohua, Zhang Xianwen, and even those Wenzhou and Chaozhou people!
It was a hot summer day. The ground was scorching hot. Even the air was hot. Anyone who moved would be sweating all over.
No one knew where the birds had hidden themselves, the grass and trees were all bowing their heads, and the cicadas were constantly making irritating noises on the branches, as if they were cheering for the scorching sun.
Two months had passed. Summer Palace Villa was still a pool of stagnant water. The capital chain was broken. The entire project was in a deadlock. A large amount of money was needed to resolve this deadlock.
Xiong Haizhou looked for investments everywhere. He threw away his arrogance and went to the banks. However, it was no use. The banks that he used to call his brother avoided him. If they were worse, they would just beat him up.
Over the years, the impression that he gave people was that he was a forthright person who spoke eloquently. He was proficient in the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He had a refined temperament and valued loyalty. He often gave gifts worth tens of thousands of yuan to people on their first meeting during a meal.
Hence, he thought he was quite popular.
He didn't expect things to turn out this way.
At the entrance of Summer Palace Villa, there were no more troublemakers or people checking out. Instead, there was a large number of suppliers demanding payment. Then came the banks. Then came the construction workers demanding payment. What was worse was that the construction workers had organized hundreds of workers to surround the villa.
Even the headquarters of the Pan Hai Corporation came to demand payment.
"Everyone, I admit that the current situation is a little difficult, but you can't believe the rumors outside." Xiong Haizhou was still gentle and refined. He could avoid the limelight this time, but he couldn't avoid the next time. He had to be patient and speak seriously.
"Director Xiong, as far as I know, although Summer Palace Villa has sold a few apartments since the opening, there are still a few that have been returned," a bespectacled middle-aged man in a suit finally spoke.
"Manager Zhang, please give me some time." Because they could not afford the electricity bill, the central air conditioner of the Pan Hai Group was not turned on. Although Xiong Haizhou tried to maintain his elegance, he could not stop the sweat from dripping down his forehead.
He knew this person. This son of a bitch was a customer manager of the bank. He used to suck up to him like he was his own father. He didn't expect him to fall out with him so quickly.
"I'm sorry. According to the rules of the bank, we have to preserve our assets." The middle-aged man took out another document from his bag. "This is the court's property preservation ruling. Read it yourself."
Xiong Haizhou closed his eyes and did not take it.
This was true, there was no doubt about it. It was just that it came a little too quickly.
He had nothing left.
The hall was in chaos. It had nothing to do with him. It was his group of debtors who were discussing the order of repayment. What saddened him the most was that he could not declare bankruptcy. He could not go through the bankruptcy process to repay his debts. According to the Civil Procedure Law, only enterprises owned by the whole people could apply for bankruptcy.
He realized that if nothing unexpected happened, he might have to carry the enterprise's debts for the rest of his life.
After more than an hour of chaos, the hall was no longer lively. Even the employees who had their salaries and living expenses had left.
Xiong Haizhou wanted to find a chair, but there was not a single one. It had been emptied.
He sat on the steps and smoked one cigarette after another. He coughed non-stop.
"Director Xiong, you are not used to smoking, right? Have a cigar."
"It's you?" Xiong Haizhou did not take the cigar in front of him. He only raised his head and saw a person that made him clench his teeth.
"Why don't you recognize me?" Li He, who never smoked cigars, happily put one in his mouth and let Luo Pei light it up.
It seemed fun to puff out big smoke rings.
"What are you doing here?" Xiong Haizhou stood up and looked at Li He fiercely. "Are you here to laugh at me?"
When a person's family and career were in trouble, at least one of them must be stabilized. Only when one half was stabilized could he properly deal with the other half.
He was currently facing such a problem. Both his family and career were not going well. It could even be said that they were very bad.
"The environment is not bad, but it's a pity."
Li He walked back and forth in the messy hall full of paper and garbage with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be very curious about everything. He did not look at Xiong Haizhou. The big and shiny bald head that he had just shaved was still behind his back.
The glass door of the hall was pushed open again. Another five or six people came in.
"Surnamed Zhang!" Xiong Haizhou roared. He clenched his fist and was about to smash Zhang Xianwen who had just entered the door.
Luo Pei, who had been waiting for an opportunity, kicked Xiong Haizhou to the ground. When he was about to kick Xiong Haizhou again, he was stopped by Li He.
Xiong Haizhou was a scholar who had lived like a prince for many years. How could he be a match for Luo Pei, a street punk?
He just curled up on the ground and could not get up for a long time. He looked at Luo Pei, looked at Li He, and then looked at Xu Guohua, Zhang Xianwen, Pinsong, and the others who were smiling at him. No matter how stupid he was, he understood something.
How could he not understand?
There were many people who had grudges with him in the business world, but not many had the ability to mess with him. The only one who had a grudge and the ability to mess with him was Li He. He suddenly realized this after the May Day Labor Conference when he saw the overwhelming propaganda about Li He in the newspapers.
However, he did not regret it at that time.
"What do you want?"
Xiong Haizhou finally struggled to stand up. He patted the dust off his body and stared at Li He.
Li He turned around and looked at Xiong Haizhou for a few minutes. He shook his head and smiled. "I don't want anything. I just came here to receive something from my subordinates."
"What's yours?" Xiong Haizhou wanted to see what Li He was up to.
Luo Pei asked in surprise, "Didn't the people at the bank tell you? All the assets under the name of the Pan Hai Group have been packaged and sold to the Four Seasons Department Store and Dida Real Estate. The funds are used to pay off the debts. "
The most important thing was that the department store that originally belonged to him was back. Although he owed Li He a lot of debt again, it did not matter. It was not the first time he owed Li He. The more he owed, the more he felt at ease. It made him feel that he was still useful to Li He and that he would not be abandoned so easily.
"You win." Xiong Haizhou had already expected some things, so he was not very excited at this time.
Li He originally wanted to scold Xiong Haizhou and slap him a few times until his mouth was bleeding and he knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
However, he changed his mind. Two lines of a poem came to his mind. The son is a wolf in Zhongshan, and when he succeeds, he becomes arrogant.
If he scolded Xiong Haizhou, how would he be different from a villain who succeeds?
Thinking of this, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and simply said, "You should have expected this day to come."
Xiong Haizhou sneered. "In order to trip me up, you must have planned for a long time, right? You must have put in a lot of effort. "
There seemed to be a hint of pride in his words. He even felt that it was something to be proud of to be able to make Li He put in so much effort.
Pinsong said, "Otherwise, do you think you can move this piece of land?"
"Yeah, with your financial resources, you should have bought all the surrounding land, right?"
Xiong Haizhou ignored Pinsong and continued to stare straight at Li He.
There were some things that he could understand after thinking about it. If not for this, on the day of his opening, the surrounding real estate would not have followed suit and lowered their prices at the same time.
Li He nodded and did not deny it.
"You're too ruthless. My principle has always been that I don't offend people if they don't offend me."
"Yeah." Xiong Haizhou walked to the window and opened it. He straightened the tie on his shirt. "The weather is good today."
Li He smiled and did not reply. He turned around and left. There was no need to say anything else. Xiong Haizhou was no longer a threat to him. Moreover, with him around, it was impossible for him to make a comeback.
Just as he went downstairs, he heard a thud and then Little Wei's scream. "Brother, he jumped off the building."
Li He was stunned. He did not go over.
He had forgotten that Xiong Haizhou was also a proud person. He was so proud that he did not know what inferiority was.
The more arrogant he was, the more he could not accept failure.
The police car came, the ambulance came, and the family members came. There were cries and screams.
Li He's mind was in a mess. It was shrouded in fog and he felt uncomfortable all over. There was basically no chance of survival on the twelfth floor.
"Hey, my name is Xiong Haizhou. I heard that everyone in your class calls me Little Li, right?"
"I'm older than you. Call me brother from now on. I'll support you. "
"Little Li, how is it? Help me deliver a letter. "
"Did you see anything? Here's five dollars. Send it to me. It's all yours."
Li He endured the discomfort and looked at the pool of blood in the distance. He recalled that young man who was full of vitality. Although he was arrogant at that time, he was also cute.
He picked up the blood-stained newspaper on the ground. The headline was "Opinions on the Current Economic Situation and Strengthening Macro-Control" issued by the Central Government.
He did not let anyone follow him and drove home alone. He was in a daze.
Xiong Haizhou was dead, but he was not happy at all. After all, they were not mortal enemies.
Subconsciously, he looked towards the entrance of the nursery. Groups of children dressed in colorful clothes were bouncing around like little birds. He started to envy them. It was envy from the bottom of his heart. He envied their happiness and carefree life. He even envied their bows and colorful clothes.
He did not even eat lunch. He lay on the bed with great difficulty and fell asleep for a while. He woke up with a start. It was as if someone was rushing him.
Yes, it was him who killed Xiong Haizhou.
He suddenly felt for the first time that his hands were bloody.
"Brother Xiong, rest in peace. I did not do it on purpose. I did not want this to happen."
