Chapter 931: Not for Profit, but for Life
Lin Zhiyi originally thought that the person Gong Chen was talking about was Old Master Gong.
As a result, Gong Chen said coldly: "Stars."
Lin Zhiyi reacted.
When Xingxing was born, Gong Chen and Sang Ran had not yet divorced.
Although their marriage was fake, this matter had to be kept secret.
If it weren't for the reputation of the Gong family, Mr. Gong would have made Xingxing's matter public long ago.
If the Xia sisters forced Gong Chen to admit everything about him and Lin Zhiyi.
The impact on the Gong family cannot be underestimated.
Lin Zhiyi measured: "The Xia sisters are indiscriminately harming everyone in the Gong family, including me and Xingxing."
Gong Chen nodded: "Now it seems to be true, but I always feel that they have other purposes."
Lin Zhiyi also found it strange.
She recalled every word Xia Chun said to her.
She did not feel any sense of oppression from Xia Chun.
On the contrary, Xia Chun's eyes were always telling a story.
Lin Zhiyi said: "Third Master, didn't you realize that the Xia sisters have been around for so long, and they are not here for the benefit of the Gong family at all."
"As a businessman, it is reasonable to seek profit. If you don't seek profit, you should be more careful. Otherwise... it will be fatal."
Gong Chen looked at Lin Zhiyi deeply.
Lin Zhiyi was a little worried about Xingxing.
Gong Chen said: "Xingxing will have winter vacation soon, I want her to go out with your mother and brother to hide away."
If the Xia sisters really want to take action, their weakest link will be Liu He and the child.
Lin Zhiyi thought it made sense.
"Yeah. It's best not to tell anyone."
"I'll make arrangements."
As soon as Gong Chen finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Zhiyi raised her eyes and said, "Please come in."
The person who came turned out to be Gong Shiyan.
"Uncle, is there something wrong with my mother?"
"No, she took the child to bed. I came here because of Xia Wan's matter." Gong Shiyan said.
Gong Chen stood up and moved a little.
"Second brother, sit down and tell me, have you found anything?"
"During the day, you mentioned whether the Xia family was involved in the cooperation with the Gong family. I checked it out and saw a sealed file. The person who sealed it was Dad."
As he spoke, Gong Shiyan took out a new copy of the file.
Gong Chen took it and opened it, and Lin Zhiyi immediately came over.
It was a project invested by the old man twenty years ago.
Judging from the numbers, it is not a big project for the Gong family.
Logically, there is no need for the old man to step in personally.
But everything recorded in the information was done by the old man himself.
There were many partners in the project, and Lin Zhiyi almost missed the Xia family.
"Is it this Xia family? They are almost at the end of the list."
Gong Chen said: "This project is indeed not big enough for the Gong family, but it is a very good project for an ordinary small company."
Gong Shiyan hummed, "Similar projects were very popular back then and were very profitable. With the Gong family as a backer, many people wanted to squeeze in to get a piece of the pie, but unfortunately, the Gong family lost a lot of money on this cooperation."
Lin Zhiyi was stunned. Although she couldn't understand those profound big projects.
But at least she did learn a lot of knowledge by sitting in Gong Chen's position.
She looked at the complete information in front of her, and even she could see the feasibility.
"You can even lose money on this? This doesn't seem like the old man's ability."
"Yes, this is the weird part. The old man has never admitted defeat in his life, but this time he didn't even try to save himself. He lost miserably. But there's something even weirder."
Gong Shiyan signaled Gong Chen to turn the page.
Gong Chen turned a page and saw the content about how to deal with project failure.
Lin Zhiyi saw the Xia family at a glance.
"Xia's is the only company that went bankrupt. Although other companies also suffered losses, they were not as bad. Why?"
Gong Shiyan explained: "I asked some retired elders, but they had no impression of the Xia family at all. It was only after I found a company that we cooperated with that I got a general idea."
"At that time, the Xia family didn't know what was going on. In order to make more money, they borrowed money from everywhere and almost invested the entire Xia family."
"So after the project lost money, he was overwhelmed by the debt and finally jumped off the building one day."
"As for his family, I heard they disappeared after the funeral."
"This is just a trivial matter in Beijing's business. No one will delve into it. Besides, Xia's is not a big company. It's just that President Xia is too stubborn."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi withdrew his gaze.
She asked tentatively: "Uncle, Third Master, do you think the failure of this project has something to do with the old man?"
Gong Shiyan and Gong Chen exchanged glances.
Gong Chen said in a low voice: "The Xia sisters came to seek revenge, probably because of this incident, but we don't know the connection yet. The most important thing now is to find out what happened back then."
Gong Shiyan nodded and reminded: "There is something that I don't know if it has anything to do with what happened back then."
"What's wrong?" Gong Chen asked.
Gong Shiyan pointed to one of the companies.
"The boss of this company is very close to the Xia family, but the loss in this investment was not big. The decision maker at that time died this year while on vacation abroad. It was a very ugly death. It was said that he took too much medicine when he went to the room to find a woman and died suddenly."
"This..." Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips and said, "Could it be that he is also related to President Xia's suicide back then?"
Gong Chen said: "If it was really good, President Xia would not have died."
"Third brother, are you saying this is a trap? Although the old man used this trick on the Bai family, the Xia family is not even one percent of the Bai family. The old man is not the kind of person who would go to such lengths for that little bit of money." Gong Shiyan said.
Gong was silent.
Lin Zhiyi took out a photo and asked tentatively, "Could it be related to her? Mr. Xia's wife."
The old man's mind is confused now, but he can still remember the name. It is obvious that this woman is of different importance.
When Gong Shiyan saw that it was another woman, his whole face wrinkled.
"Could it be that the Xia sisters are..."
"No, they don't look very much like their mother, but they look very much like President Xia," Lin Zhiyi explained.
"Purely seeking revenge?" Gong Shiyan said.
Lin Zhiyi didn't even bother to explain.
Gong Chen told Gong Shiyan about sending Liu He and the two children away to hide.
When Gong Shiyan thought that one of the people involved in the incident that year had died, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"I have a private island. I was planning to give it to Xiao He on our wedding anniversary. No one else knows about it. It's just the right time to send them there to play for a while."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi smiled, feeling that both children had come at the right time.
A few years ago, the family would never have dared to dream of a private island.
Gong Chen smiled faintly: "Okay, it's decided. Send it out privately. Don't let anyone find out about this."
Gong Shiyan was afraid that the night would be too long and he immediately sent a message to his assistant.
Then he looked at Gong Chen.
"Third brother, there is actually someone who knows everything. Let's go see him."
"..."
Gong Chen remained silent.
Lin Zhiyi knew that Gong Shiyan was talking about the old man.
Gong Shiyan shook his head, stood up and left the room.
Lin Zhiyi closed the door and turned to look at Gong Chen.
"Third Master, I actually think what my uncle said is right. Instead of trying to find the truth without any clue, it is better to ask the person involved."
