Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Is there any money after all?_1
Ye Mei sensed that something was amiss and quickly jabbed Zhao Qiming a few times.
"It’s just a few positions, can’t you just explain things clearly?"
Zhao Qiming calmed down and smiled, "Actually, I don’t care about these things either, I just give the money to my subordinates and let them handle it for me."
"Besides, as a big boss like me, how can I do the work myself? It’s much easier to hire some people with a little money, isn’t it?"
This statement immediately blocked all queries, anyone asking would only be told that the subordinates were managing it, leaving no loopholes.
Ye Fei only smiled lightly.
In fact, he had long since noticed something fishy about this person.
So Ye Fei asked, "Boss Zhao earns so much money every year, why not invest in the Su Family’s industry?"
"No problem!" Zhao Qiming smiled, "Investing a few billion casually is no issue."
A few billion, just like that.
Ye Fei pretended to say, "That’s great, let’s discuss the cooperation project right now? I have a project worth tens of millions in my hand!"
"If Boss Zhao is willing to invest tens of millions, this can be done immediately!"
Tens of millions?
At this point, Zhao Qiming noticeably hesitated.
He hemmed and hawed for a long time, trying to gloss over the issue.
But Ye Fei laughed and said, "Why has Boss Zhao stopped talking? It’s only tens of millions, a small amount for you, right?"
"Of course, it’s just tens of millions," Zhao Qiming said, brushing it off.
But at this moment, Ye Fei had already pulled out paper and pen and handed it to Zhao Qiming, "Then let’s sign a contract, it’s just a matter of a few words for you, Boss Zhao, don’t fret over this!"
Zhao Qiming didn’t understand what was densely written on the paper and immediately froze.
If he didn’t sign, wouldn’t he be slapping his own face after bragging so much with so many people watching?
In reality, he didn’t have a penny to his name.
Otherwise, with his personality, why wouldn’t he buy a luxury car or luxury goods?
But the situation had come to this, he could only sign and hope Ye Fei wouldn’t find anyone later.
He immediately picked up the pen, ready to sign.
But then Ye Fei said, "Boss Zhao is really straightforward. Once this is signed, it will have legal protection, Boss Zhao truly must be rich to not worry about being unable to pay later."
Zhao Qiming’s hand, ready to sign, suddenly paused.
Legal protection – he keenly noticed these words.
Nice try, Ye Fei, laying a trap for me!
Do you think I’ll fall for it?
Zhao Qiming suddenly gave a forced laugh and said, "Unfortunately, all my funds have been invested recently, so I probably can’t invest in the Su Family’s industry anymore."
He had meant to find any excuse.
But as soon as Zhao Qiming spoke those words, he felt a sense of foreboding.
Ye Fei lightly laughed and said, "Didn’t Boss Zhao say earlier that he easily invests billions, so why is he now not willing to invest money?"
One moment he has money, the next he says he doesn’t.
Even Ye Mei, sitting on the side, was now frowning.
The whole table was staring blankly, clearly sensing that something was off.
Ye Fei said, "Boss Zhao, do you actually have money or not? You agree to invest then you don’t – that’s hurting people’s feelings, isn’t it?"
Zhao Qiming insisted, "I told you, I don’t have money now, we’ll talk when I do!"
He pretended to be angry and sat down with a huff.
"No way," Ye Fei laughed.
"Could it be that Boss Zhao is pretending to be rich while being poor?"
Zhao Qiming immediately retorted furiously, "What are you saying? My company in Shanghai is chain-linked and can afford tens of millions in minutes; do you think I lack such a small amount of money?"
"Didn’t you say it was only tens of millions a year, how did it become tens of millions a minute again?" Ye Fei said, "Boss Zhao, why is your story inconsistent?"
"I..." Zhao Qiming was now panicked.
The more he said, the more mistakes he made.
He decided to stop talking.
However, Ye San’s expression turned sour at that moment.
If Zhao Qiming couldn’t explain the difference between a chairman and a president, that was one thing.
But for a big boss to speak inconsistently and stutter in response to Ye Fei’s questions, that wasn’t how a boss should act, was it?
Ye San frowned and said, "Qi Ming, what exactly do you do? Clear it up!"
Zhao Qiming grew irritated, "Do I need to report to you what I do?"
"You!"
Zhao Qiming was increasingly annoyed, nearly losing his rationality after being interrogated by Ye Fei and losing face.
And now a nobody from the countryside dares to point his finger at me and scold me?
As the atmosphere became increasingly awkward, the guests at the table finally realized something was wrong.
What was up with this Boss Zhao?
He was full of inconsistencies, like an actor.
And a rather poor actor at that.
Whispers began to circulate immediately, and the mood in the room shifted.
"I was saying, how could such a big boss not even have a car? We’re not talking luxury but shouldn’t he at least have one in the range of several hundred thousand?"
"Right, he’s come to the Ye Family’s place and hasn’t brought any gifts for the elders, he doesn’t seem that rich, does he?"
"Indeed, if he were really that wealthy, would he grieve over this small amount of money?"
Everyone started to come to their senses, hindsight only making the situation seem more awkward.
Soon, several suspicious glances were directed at Zhao Qiming.
Ye Guangzhi saw things were getting worse and finally slammed the table.
Whack!
The room quieted down.
Ye Guangzhi frowned and said, "I think we’ve all eaten enough. Let’s call it a night!"
