My Nemesis Has Finally Gone Bankrupt
Chapter 100
On the day when Qin Man's company officially started operating, Ji Ran sent a painting, and Qin Man asked someone to take down the painting on the wall of his office and hang it up.
Half a month later, Ji Ran stepped into Qin Man's company for the first time.
Sitting on the sofa, Ji Ran frowned and said, "...I just buy whatever I want, it's not as expensive as your original painting."
"I just want to hang up what you gave me." Qin Man smiled.
Several employees came in, Liu Chen first greeted Ji Ran, and the other employees immediately followed, "Mr. Ji."
Ji Ran seldom heard this kind of address, he was a little awkward, so he hummed.
Qin Man was wearing a white shirt, the same as the school uniform he used to wear, with the buttons fastened to the top. He listened to the staff's report without raising his head, humming from time to time to show that he heard it.
Ji Ran stared with his chin propped up, as if he was back in junior high school.Qin Man belonged to the student union, and other students reported violation records to him, but he also kept silent and nodded occasionally.
Every week, he could see Qin Man writing his name stroke by stroke on the school criticism newspaper.
Later in high school, perhaps because of his busy schedule, Qin Man stopped participating in the student union.Ji Ran found it boring, and since then, he has never deliberately sought out the violators.
Just as Ji Ran was thinking about it, he saw the indifferent man suddenly raised his head, accurately catching his gaze, his tense expression was slightly loose, and he showed a brief smile.
After the employees went out, Qin Man put down his pen: "Primary school brother, come here."
"Don't go."
"Here, let me show you something."
Ji Ran frowned and walked over suspiciously.
Qin Man grabbed his wrist, pulled him towards him, and then opened a certain drawer.
Inside is a photo frame with Ji Ran's photo inside.
I don't know if he is used to it, but Ji Ran is very calm: "This one is too ugly."
Qin Man laughed: "I didn't tell you to watch this..."
He took out the photo frame, revealing the dark brown document bag underneath.
Ji Ran: "What is it?"
"About your mother." Qin Man raised his eyes, "Want to read it?"
Ji Ran paused, fixed his eyes on the file bag, and asked after a long while: "...what about it?"
"The past is more specific than what you know." Qin Man moved his hands down and clasped his fingers tightly, "Ji Guozheng spent a lot of time hiding it, and it took me a while to find him."
Ji Ran knows that this matter is difficult to investigate.
He found various channels and spent a lot of money, but he didn't find out any real news for several years.The news came unexpectedly, Ji Ran rolled his throat and squeezed out a sentence: "Who did you find?"
"Auntie's manager."
Ji Ran returned to the sofa with the document in hand, held the white thread for a few seconds, hesitated, and then spun it to take it apart.
It's amazing what's inside.
Transfer records more than ten years ago, printed text messages, and a USB flash drive.
Seeing his doubts, Qin Man said: "It contains the content of the call between her and your mother."
Ji Ran pinched the shiny black object: "... the content of the call?"
"Recording." Qin Man said, "At that time, in order to appease your mother, she said that she would call the police for her. It contained the content of her aunt's explanation... and the phone call between her manager and Ji Guozheng after the incident. To ensure that she was safe, she also wanted to It was recorded after asking Ji Guozheng for money."
Ji Ran held the USB flash drive tightly, his fingers turned white.
Half a minute later, he took a deep breath: "I'm going back."
"I'll accompany you." Qin Man said immediately.
"No need." Ji Ran gritted his teeth, "...I want to listen to it myself."
Qin Man frowned, still holding onto him.
"I'm fine, I'll listen to myself." Ji Ran insisted.
Qin Man hesitated for a moment, and then took a step back: "Then you have to promise me that after listening...no matter what decision you make, you must tell me, okay?"
"……it is good."
Qin Man nodded decisively: "I'll have someone take you back, you're not fit to drive now."
Ji Ran returned home, inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, and put on the earphones.
The hand holding the mouse stopped for more than ten seconds before slowly moving to the audio file named "z Narrative Content".
Click on it, and it's the manager's voice: "Wait a minute, I'll adjust the equipment, right away."
After a few sounds of Zila, Ji Ran heard a few seconds of silence in the earphones, and then a thin female voice came: "... Are you ready?"
He hadn't heard this voice for more than ten years.
Zhao Qingtong is a girl from the south, her accent is extremely gentle, in the past, Ji Ran could always fall asleep quickly within 5 minutes after listening to her bedtime stories.
During the recording time of this audio, she had just experienced a catastrophe, and her voice was fragile and helpless, with a faint nasal sound.
Ji Ran calmly listened to the 5 minutes of audio.
Because of fear, Zhao Qingtong's narration was a bit confusing, but he could understand it roughly, and it was almost the same as what he thought.
He turned his gaze and moved to the audio called "j call".
There are two audios of "j call". Ji Ran thought it was a recording and split it into two files. Unexpectedly, when the second audio file was opened, a slightly familiar hoarse male voice came out.
This voice does not belong to Ji Guozheng.
Ji Ran knew whose voice it was.
……
In the afternoon, when Ji Ran turned on the audio for the seventh time, the phone rang.
"Ji Ran, it's me." Ji Wei said seriously, "Where are you now?"
"what's up."
"Dad wants to see you." Ji Wei said, "He said, if you don't come, your name won't be in the will."
"A will?" Ji Ran chuckled.
"Well, the lawyer will come over in the afternoon." Ji Weimo said after a while, "I know my mother has looked for you, don't listen to her, it's yours, and I won't snatch it from you."
Ji Ran lowered his head and looked away from the computer screen: "What time?"
"Two o'clock."
"Is my good grandma here?" Ji Ran picked up the pen on the table and twirled it a few times on his fingertips.
"Of course grandma is here..." Ji Wei sensed that his tone was wrong, "Ji Ran, what do you want to do?"
"I'll go." Ji Ran got up and went to the closet, opened it, "Let them wait."
-
A few months ago, the Ji Zhai was still beautiful, but today the atmosphere is particularly heavy, even the servants are lifeless.
Ji Guo was sitting in front of the desk, long gone from his usual vigor.His face was pale, his eye sockets slightly sunken, and his patience had faded over time.
With a bang, he slapped the table: "Will he come or not?!"
Ji Wei took out his mobile phone: "I'll ask again."
"Did you really inform him?" Mrs. Ji frowned, "Did you tell him exactly about making a will today?"
Ji Wei was helpless: "Grandma, I wouldn't lie to you about these things."
Ji Guo sat with no expression on his face.
During this period of time, his life seemed to be on the accelerator, everything happened suddenly and quickly, which caught him off guard.
Serious illness was detected, family strife, company turmoil.
One pile after another, it can't be dealt with at all.Just the thing in his head made him exhausted, but he had to brace himself up and clean up other messes.
Chen Qianqiong was sitting on the sofa with her legs together, slightly tilted at an angle, her sitting posture was extremely elegant, and the lawyer she brought was sitting beside her.
"He may not intend to ask for your inheritance." She said lightly, "Otherwise, let's start directly, and don't waste each other's time."
"This is our family's business." Mrs. Ji's eyes were sharp, and she scratched her like a knife.
"Madam, legally speaking, I am still your daughter-in-law." Chen Qianqiong said with a smile, "Of course I have the right to speak about my own affairs."
The old lady's chest was blocked, and she didn't want to talk to her anymore.
It was her miscalculation.
At the beginning, she fell in love with Chen Qianqiong because the other person's family background was superior and would help them, but she was not as good as the Ji family. This kind of marriage partner was just right, and it was also the reason why she tried her best to match her and her son.
Although she had heard about Chen Qianqiong's temper, she was just a woman no matter what she said, no matter how powerful she was, she probably couldn't make any big waves.
It now appears that she was dead wrong.
Chen Qianqiong was unwilling to let her go: "Old Madam, I heard that in the past few years, you have always blamed me?"
Mrs. Ji's back froze, her mind was spinning fast, she frowned and looked at her: "Have you looked for Ji Ran? What did you tell him?"
"What do you think, I'm not someone who likes to take the blame. Who threatened Zhao Qingtong to have an abortion and asked the media to put pressure on her, who should take the blame now." Chen Qianqiong said.
"I have no choice!" Mrs. Ji slapped the chair, "If she hadn't come to seduce Guozheng... how noble would you be? Don't think I don't know why you left him in the first place!"
"Stop arguing!" Ji Guozheng was annoyed, "If you keep arguing, let me out!"
Chen Qianqiong was not afraid of him, she sneered, and pointed at Ji Guozheng: "If it weren't for you not being able to control yourself, would there be so many things going on?"
Ji Wei stood by the wall, clenched his fists tightly, and had to work hard to keep his back from touching the wall.
He never thought that one day, these dignified and elegant elders in front of him would get together and quarrel until they blush.
After a while, I'm afraid he will also join this farce.
He had to fight, he couldn't be sorry for his mother.
It's too bad.
Xu Lin was next to him, taking advantage of the people around him not paying attention, he reached out to his back, patted him lightly, and said in a low voice: "...it doesn't matter."
Ji Wei looked sideways, and was about to say that he was fine, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the person standing outside the door.
At this time, Ji Ran had heard enough.
He only looked at Ji Wei for a moment, then raised his hand and pushed open the wooden door, and the quarrel inside stopped immediately.
"There's something wrong, I'm late."
People who are usually not remembered at the family dinner, but today they have a strong sense of existence.His hair was dyed back to black, and he was dressed casually. At a glance, he was the purest and cleanest existence in the house.
Seeing that the quarrel finally subsided, Ji Guozheng let go of his heart a little: "Why are you here so late?! You're such an adult, can't you even be punctual?"
"It's okay." Ji Ran smiled, "As long as you haven't died yet, it's not too late for me to come."
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the study.
Mrs. Ji closed her eyes, thinking that it was over.
This person is completely out of her control.
Ji Guozheng was so angry that his face flushed red: "What do you mean by that—"
Ji Ran pulled a wooden stool, sat down and said, "I care about you, aren't you afraid that you will die? Didn't you say that you want to make a will? I'm here, read it."
Mrs. Ji calmed down and gave her son a look.
Part of it must be given to Ji Ran, otherwise, with Chen Qianqiong's ability, her marriage with Ji Guozheng is still in the legal stage, and the prosecution may empty them out.
At least Ji Ran is easier to deal with than her.
With a livid face, Ji Guozheng motioned for the lawyer to start reading.
The lawyer picked up the contract and said, "Entrusted by Mr. Ji Guozheng, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door was knocked twice.
Who else?
Everyone in the room had different thoughts and looked at each other warily.Only Ji Ran is still playing Tetris with his head down.
The assistant opened the door, only to see a man in a suit and leather shoes and gold-rimmed glasses standing outside the door, holding a black document bag in his hand, looking shrewd and capable.
"Excuse me, I'm Mr. Ji's lawyer."
Ji Ran looked up suspiciously.
The lawyer glanced left and right, found the person he wanted to serve, stepped forward quickly, nodded and said, "Mr. Ji, I'm sorry, because Mr. Qin's notification was too short-term, so I'm late, I hope I'm not late."
It turned out that in the whole room, only Ji Ran had no lawyer behind him.So no matter how rampant Ji Ran was when he came, everyone knew that he was just a necessary item in the process, without any other threatening power.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the lawyer took out a note from the file bag and lowered his voice: "Mr. Ji, maybe this question is a bit temporary... But I have to ask clearly, what is your request in this will?"
Ji Ran came back to his senses and couldn't help but bow his head and smile.
It's not Qin Laogou today.
It's Doraemon full.
He said: "It's not mine, don't fight for it."
Chen Qianqiong frowned slightly.
As long as Ji Ran doesn't get involved, when she appeals, Ji Guo is going to obediently give her half of the property, she is sure of that.
Ji Wei closed his eyes.
He knows it, he knows it too well, with Ji Ran's temperament, it is impossible to follow other people's requirements.
He didn't think his mother's words could move Ji Ran.
Sure enough, before Mrs. Ji got angry, Ji Ran sneered and finished speaking.
"...But it should be mine, not a single point less."
Half a month later, Ji Ran stepped into Qin Man's company for the first time.
Sitting on the sofa, Ji Ran frowned and said, "...I just buy whatever I want, it's not as expensive as your original painting."
"I just want to hang up what you gave me." Qin Man smiled.
