After a good night's sleep, Xiao Yunhai's plane landed at New York International Airport.
It was 11 PM in New York, and Christy was the one who came to pick him up.
In the car, Christy asked worriedly, "Mr. Xiao, the whole Wall Street is saying that you fought with someone in Hua Xia and accidentally killed someone. Is that true?"
Xiao Yunhai was amused. He waved his hand and said, "Madam Christy, don't worry about these rumors, and don't believe them. Our grand plan hasn't been completed yet. How can anything happen to me? I did run into some trouble in China, but they're just clowns. I can destroy them with a wave of my hand. Why? Has this news spread to Wall Street? "
Christy nodded and said, "It's not just Wall Street. The whole of Merrica knows. The share prices of our companies fell. The worst was Yunqing Oil and Gas Company. Originally, because of the natural gas field in Hua Xia, our market value broke through 1.5 trillion US dollars. In just one day, it fell to 1.2 trillion US dollars. The drop was huge. Many shareholders took this opportunity to sell their shares. "
Yunqing Oil and Gas Company still had 8% of its shares circulating in the market. Recently, under Xiao Yunhai's management, the share price had skyrocketed. The shareholders were overjoyed. Now that they heard that Xiao Yunhai was doomed and the share price was falling, they were afraid.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then we'll take this opportunity to buy back all the company's shares."
Christy said, "I've already asked someone to do that. Mr. Xiao, are you really okay? "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "You've seen me do things that I'm not confident of. Don't worry, those people in China can't do anything to me. I estimate that in a few hours, the Hua Xia court will send me a summons. I've already turned off my phone. Don't tell anyone that I'm here. For the next few days, I'll be hiding in the headquarters to do the post-production of my new movie. I'll only appear in public after the oil bidding starts. "
Christy saw that Xiao Yunhai had a card up his sleeve, and the worry in her heart was completely put down. She said, "Okay."
At 10am Beijing time, four staff members from the Beijing Intermediate People's Court came to Xiao Yunhai's house and met Zhao Wanqing.
"Miss Zhao, I'm Cen Jiang, the Vice President of the Beijing Intermediate People's Court. Is Mr. Xiao here? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "My husband went to America last night."
Cen Jiang said, "Miss Zhao, can you help us contact them?"
"Of course." Zhao Wanqing agreed. She took out her phone and dialed Xiao Yunhai's number. Naturally, the reply she got was that his phone was turned off.
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Sorry, his phone is off right now."
A middle-aged woman sitting beside Cen Jiang said, "Miss Zhao, I hope you can understand. This is a summons from our court. Mr. Xiao has to go to the court to be questioned according to the rules. Running away won't solve the problem. "
Zhao Wanqing's face darkened and said, "What do you mean by running away? Speak clearly. Whether my husband is guilty or not will be decided by the law. Who are you? You actually used the word 'run away'. Are all the people in your court at this level? I hope you can apologize to me. Otherwise, please leave. Our family doesn't welcome you. "
The middle-aged woman said, "This isn't a matter of whether you're welcome or not. I represent the Beijing Intermediate People's Court. You have to cooperate with us to find Mr. Xiao. "
Zhao Wanqing's face was filled with anger. She said, "If the Beijing Intermediate People's Court has already confirmed my husband's guilt, then it won't be you who will come, but the public security department. I'm sorry, I can't contact my husband for the time being. You can go back. "
The middle-aged woman slammed the table and said fiercely, "Miss Zhao, is this your answer?"
Perhaps she used too much force, but a blue and white porcelain cup on the table fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
Zhao Wanqing glanced at the cup and said coldly, "I already said that I can't contact him, so I can't contact him. If you think there's a problem with me, you can take me away. Also, there are a total of six cups that you broke just now. It's a set with the teapot and is worth three million. Even if I give you a 10% discount, it's still 2.7 million. Now that you broke one, the whole set is incomplete, and its value has dropped greatly. Now, please give me 2.7 million, take this tea set, and leave. "
A police officer who had just picked up a cup to drink tea was shocked when he heard Zhao Wanqing's words. He quickly put it down carefully.
The others were also dumbfounded. They were actually using a tea set that was worth a few million. The richest person in the world was too rich.
The middle-aged woman was Qu Maoxun's distant relative, and her husband was also a civil servant. How could she have so much money? She said fiercely, "You're talking nonsense. You're using a tea set that's worth three million to entertain guests? Who are you trying to fool? "
Zhao Wanqing said, "The whole world knows that my husband loves tea. He has a total of six sets of teacups, and this is the cheapest set. If you don't believe me, you can get an expert to examine it. "
The middle-aged woman swallowed her saliva and shouted with a terrified expression, "You're blackmailing us. You're deliberately using such expensive cups to scam us."
Zhao Wanqing snorted and said, "First of all, I've always used them to entertain guests. It's been two years, and there hasn't been a single incident. Secondly, we don't care about the three million. If the guests accidentally break it, we won't go so far as to claim compensation. But just now, you broke this cup in order to show off in front of me. You have to pay for it. Two million seven hundred thousand, not a cent less. Otherwise, I'll call the police. "
The middle-aged woman's face turned pale. She knew that she was in big trouble.
Cen Jiang said, "Miss Zhao, don't be angry. It was all a misunderstanding just now. She's short-tempered and doesn't think before she speaks. That's why she went overboard. You're a magnanimous person, so don't stoop to her level. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "You're from the court. How would I dare to go against you? On account of Mr. Cen, just compensate us two million and we'll forget about it. If you don't have it, you can write an IOU and go back to raise the money. By the way, isn't Qu Maoxun's group very rich? Aren't you in such a hurry to find my husband to curry favor with them? You can ask them for money to repay the debt. "
The middle-aged woman no longer had any imposing manner. She was filled with regret. Why did she stand out?
She couldn't bring herself to beg for mercy. For a moment, she sat there, not knowing what to do.
Cen Jiang said with a bitter smile, "Miss Zhao, we're all civil servants. Not to mention two million, even a million is quite difficult to take out."
He was the leader of the team. He had brought his men here to issue a subpoena. In the end, his subordinates broke a cup worth three million in a fit of rage. If this matter were to spread, he would really have no place to hide his face.
Zhao Wanqing said, "Then Mr. Cen means that you won't compensate us? Our family is rich. If we were friends, not to mention a cup worth three million, even thirty million or three hundred million wouldn't matter. But not only is this lady not my friend, she even came to my house to say that my husband ran away. I, Zhao Wanqing, am not that magnanimous. It's fine if you don't want me to call the police. Write an IOU and pay me two million within a week. Then, this matter will be over. "
The middle-aged woman's eyes shot out a vicious glint as she said, "Why should I write an IOU for you? Who knows if this cup is worth this money?"
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "That's simple. I'll just make a call and get a few experts to verify it. Won't that do? "
The middle-aged woman said, "They're all your people. Why should I believe them?"
Zhao Wanqing said coldly, "Just get the police to find someone to verify it. I believe that you should believe the people they hire."
Zhao Wanqing took out her phone and dialed the number of the police station.
"Hello. I'm Zhao Wanqing. The people from the court came to my house to deliver a summons to my husband. A staff member lost her temper and broke a valuable teacup of mine. She felt that this cup wasn't worth much and wasn't willing to pay for it. I could only ask you to deal with it. "
"I live in the outskirts of Yanjing …"
After Zhao Wanqing called the police, she said, "The police will be here in a moment. Please wait for a while."
Right at this time, Xiao Changfeng and Chen Xiuzhu picked up their children from school and returned home.
"Eh? Why is this cup broken?" Xiao Changfeng said in surprise when he saw the broken pieces of porcelain.
Zhao Wanqing explained the matter. Chen Xiuzhu snorted and said, "Even sending a summons is so awesome. This is the first time I've encountered something like this."
Xiao Changfeng's expression was also very ugly as he said, "You clearly know that my big brother is Hua Xia's number two chief, yet you all have this attitude. If you went to an ordinary person's house, it would be terrible. I bought this tea set from a businessman two years ago. It cost 3.6 million. Now, it's estimated to have risen to five million. Since you don't believe it, then let the experts appraise it. "
That middle-aged woman's expression was extremely ugly. She bit her lips tightly and didn't say a word.
