Chapter 414: Verification (2nd Update)
As soon as the board of directors ended today, Wu Ying organized a dinner to entertain all the employees of Starcom's Silicon Valley headquarters.
Originally, Zhang Chen was also invited, but Zhang Chen shirked something and withdrew in advance, Wu Ying did not force him to stay, and when he received Zhang Chen's call again, Wu Ying's tongue was already drunk.
"Brother, you say it again, I'm too noisy here, I didn't hear it just now, what's the matter?" Wu Ying asked with a toothpick and shaved his teeth, burping.
"Brother Ang, let me ask you, what has Lao Shi been doing lately? Do you have any contact with you?" Zhang Chen asked again on the phone.
Wu Ying was in a good mood, drank some wine, and said smokingly: "Which old history? Oh, you said Lao Hua, yes, I lived in his house for the first two days I came back." Let me tell you, this old boy is not old-hearted, and he also found two foreign girls that day, that is, my brother and I have strong determination, otherwise I would have been corrupted by him a long time ago. But, let me tell you, those two girls are really, tsk, old boys are very good at playing. ”
Zhang Chen patiently listened to Wu Ying's words, and continued to ask: "Brother Ang, did you talk about me when you lived in his house?"
Wu Ying was stunned for a moment, although he drank a little too much, he hadn't completely lost his mind, "What's the matter, brother? Why did you suddenly ask about him?"
Zhang Chen smiled: "It's okay, it's just that a few friends recently told me that Lao Shi may have some opinions about me, let me ask you if there is such a thing." If you do something that makes people unhappy, it's easy to remedy it. ”
Wu Ying laughed and said: "Hey, Lao Hua has a bad mouth and likes to talk nonsense." Actually, it's nothing, didn't you buy the shares in his hand at the beginning, he now sees that Starcom is developing well, and he regrets it a little bit, and complains a little more. He was talking to me that day and asked me to help him get that part of the shares back from you, but I didn't agree. What have you heard?"
Zhang Chen chuckled: "Oh, that's it, no wonder, I was a little aggressive at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm too young." By the way, Angkor, I think Lao Hua also came from the mainland, how did he first get to the United States? It seems that he has a wide range of interpersonal relationships, right?"
The place where Starcom had dinner was a Chinese restaurant with a private room, Wu Ying walked out of the private room, "He, he came earlier than us, in the early eighties, I forgot if it was eighty or eighty-one, he came at that time." When he first came to the United States, he had a scholarship of $20,000 a year, and when we came to the United States, he was already a rich man among us. He is more ghostly, and he likes to play, and he has made a lot of friends in the United States. ”
Zhang Chen was surprised: "At that time, there was a scholarship of 20,000 yuan, which is great, isn't it? Now the median household income in the United States is only more than 20,000 yuan, right? How did he get it?"
Wu Ying snorted: "Who knows, we were also strange at the time, we have been in the United States for so many years, and we have never heard of anyone who can get such a high scholarship when they first come." ”
Zhang Chen sighed, and felt a little calculating in his heart: "Cheng, then I know, thank you." ”
Wu Ying said curiously: "Why do you care so much about him? What did he say about you? If there is a misunderstanding, I will make an appointment with the two of you another day, come out and sit down, there is no knot that cannot be solved, many friends have many roads, maybe there will be a chance to cooperate in the future." ”
Zhang Chen sneered in his heart: "Okay, that brother will thank you first, by the way, I still have something to do here, and I will fight again." ”
Zhang Chen hung up the phone, pondered for a while, and dialed Xiong Xiaoge again.
"Brother Xiong, do you still remember the Shi Manqing who was with Wu Yinglu Hongliang when we first met? At that time, you said that he was not a serious person, what did you mean?" Zhang Chen decided to call Xiong Xiaoge again, Xiong Xiaoge's tone at that time didn't sound like this old flower, and he might know him better.
Xiong Xiaoge went to New Zealand for a few days in the past two days, and listened to Zhang Chen call himself specifically to ask Shi Manqing, of course he was very surprised, and asked Zhang Chen why he asked Shi Manqing, Zhang Chen said a few vague words, Xiong Xiaoge saw that Zhang Chen was reluctant to say, and he was not reluctant, he groaned for a while, and said: "I don't have much contact with him, he came to the United States a few years earlier than me, and the people he interacts with are more mixed, both black and white, he has also stayed in New York, and the reputation in this circle is not very good, so I don't like to contact him very much." ”
Zhang Chen hurriedly asked: "The wind review is not good, can you elaborate? Brother Xiong, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense everywhere." ”
Xiong Xiaoge smiled: "If you say this, you won't see the outside world, all I hear are rumors, so it's not good to spread it again." ”
Zhang Chen insisted: "It's okay, the rumors are okay, that's what you say, that's what I heard." ”
Xiong Xiaoge sighed: "At the beginning, Shi Manqing was mainly engaged in the business of some international students from the mainland, helping to find a house or something, and being a broker. But in the past two years, he got up all of a sudden, and it is said that he cheated Liu Zhengwei's son Liu Bo, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Zhang Chen hurriedly asked, "How did you get it?"
Xiong Xiaoge emphasized: "What I said is all rumors, if you can't do it accurately, you should listen to it as a gossip." ”
Zhang Chen hurriedly said: "Of course, of course, you hurry up." ”
Xiong Xiaoge recounted: "When Liu Bo came to the United States at that time, he brought a lot of money, some rumors said that it was 100 million, and some rumors said that it was 70 million or 80 million, but even if there was not so much, it was estimated that it was a lot. Shi Manqing was the most familiar with the Americans at that time, so he took the initiative to help Liu Bo find a house, go through immigration procedures or something, who knew that after coming and going, he got involved with Liu Bo's daughter-in-law at the time. In fact, this is normal, men and women love you and me, although it is a bit immoral, but it is not a big deal. ”
Zhang Chen listened intently.
Xiong Xiaoge continued: "But later, the situation changed a little. Liu Bo didn't know why, he was arrested by the police, and there were rumors that he was arrested by the FBI or CIA, and after he came out, Liu Bo became a poor egg, and his daughter-in-law also ran away with Shi Manqing. Some say that his daughter-in-law took the opportunity to cheat the money, and some say that Shi Manqing asked Liu Bo to invest in financial management, but it is not clear anyway. In short, I don't think this matter has anything to do with Shi Manqing. ”
Zhang Chen couldn't help frowning, CIA again?
Xiong Xiaoge sighed: "Later, Liu Bo and his daughter-in-law agreed to divorce, as if they wanted some of the money back, so they breathed a sigh of relief." I'm not pitiful for Liu Bo, he deserves it. But Shi Manqing's thing is not authentic, his family and Liu Bo's family are also world friends, and after Liu Bo came to the United States, Shi Manqing did make a lot of money from Liu Bo, and Liu Bo was also good to him, but in the end, he was lost both his people and money. Alas. ”
Zhang Chen echoed twice, and asked Xiong Xiaoge if he knew who Shi Manqing had close contacts with in the United States.
Xiong Xiaoge said that he had been out of this circle for too many years, and he really didn't know, but seeing that Zhang Chen asked so carefully, he was curious: "What the hell is going on?
Zhang Chen smiled: "It's okay, it's just curious, Brother Xiong thank you, I'll go back to China another day and invite you to dinner." ”
Xiong Xiaoge smiled: "That's not necessary, I'm going to the United States in two weeks, so I'll invite this meal in the United States." ”
Zhang Chen was quite surprised: "That's good, what's the matter with coming over this time?"
Xiong Xiaoge laughed and said: "McGovern's old man has invested in a research institute, specializing in the study of cranial nerves, let us come and visit, and you should be invited." ”
Zhang Chen suddenly realized that there was such a thing, two days ago he was talking to McGovern on the phone about IDG's exit from Starcom, McGovern mentioned such a sentence, and he casually agreed at the time, but he forgot about it.
"Okay, then let's do it first, you have a good time in New Zealand, don't bother. ”
Zhang Chen hung up the phone, pondered for a while, got up from the chair, took the Beletta in Thomas's hand, clicked, loaded the bullet, and in Wolf's horrified eyes, Zhang Chen put the gun against Wolf's head.
"Say, did you conspire with Shi Manqing about Liu Bo? Do you want to repeat the old trick this time?"
Finally sent it out, sleep.
