Chapter 1045: Jiang Hudong's Troubles
On the way home, Zhang Chengyuan suddenly received a phone call, it was Liu Zaishi calling, asking him to go to Jiang Hudong's Qingtan Cave barbecue restaurant to drink and catch up, as soon as he heard this, Zhang Chengyuan vaguely guessed that Liu Zaishi's purpose for inviting him this time, probably wanted him to help comfort Jiang Hudong, who had been in trouble recently, so he immediately agreed, and then did not go home, and went directly to Jiang Hudong's barbecue restaurant.
And Xiao Jing naturally went with him, anyway, Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi have a good relationship with Xiao Jing, and they won't diswelcome her. In addition, Zhang Chengyuan did not forget to call Cheng Youli and told her that he was going to have a party with Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi, and told her and Li Xiaoli and others that they didn't have to wait for him, because he might not be able to go back until late.
Recently, Jiang Hudong encountered a very tricky thing - he was reported for tax evasion, and the National Tax Department is currently investigating. Although the results have not come out yet, Zhang Chengyuan has a premonition that there will be no good results, and Jiang Hudong will probably get into trouble soon.
Zhang Chengyuan originally wanted to intervene in this matter, but Jiang Hudong felt that he could handle it, so he excused himself, thinking that as a big brother, it would be a loss of face to let his younger brother take the lead to solve the trouble for him. However, after several months of hard work, it was not solved after all. I don't know if we meet tonight, will Jiang Hudong have the cheekiness to ask him for help?
I'm afraid I can't! Although he has always been thick-skinned in variety shows, this is not the case in reality. But whether he asked him for help or not, Zhang Chengyuan had already decided that he had to do something for him next. After all, he has the ability to do something for Jiang Hudong, and this is also the duty of friends.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jing arrived at the barbecue restaurant. Just walked in the door. A waiter who was waiting on the side immediately took them to the private room where Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi were at this time. It should have been ordered by Jiang Hudong.
When I went in to take a look, I saw that Jiang Hudong had already drunk it, his face was a little red, and he obviously drank a lot, but he was quite conscious. And Liu Zaishi sat next to him and accompanied him, eating only meat and not drinking.
However, Zhang Chengyuan did not find it strange, because Liu Zaishi drank very lightly, except for the occasional red wine at home or when he got together with him. At other times, I don't drink it at all. And he is still picky when he drinks now, almost only drinking the good wine given to him by Zhang Chengyuan, I don't know if he is not interested in ordinary wine after tasting those good wines.
After seeing Zhang Chengyuan, Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi didn't get up, and raised their hands, as if they had already said hello, and there was no need to pay too much attention to etiquette when brothers got along with each other in private. However, when they saw the little crystal behind Zhang Chengyuan, they all stood up immediately, and then stepped forward to greet her with a smile on their faces. Of course, this is not looking at Zhang Chengyuan's face. It's that they originally liked Little Crystal's little sister.
And Xiao Jing naturally didn't dare to slack off on them, and saluted respectfully. Then he held a bottle of high-end red wine taken from the freezer in Zhang Chengyuan's car and handed it to Liu Zaishi, saying, "Hudong oppa, Zaishi oppa, this is a gift that my brother asked me to give you." ”
Liu Zaishi stretched out his hand to take it and said with a smile: "Brother Hudong, you have never been interested in this kind of wine, so I will accept this wine with a smile, just give me meat to eat." Well, everyone is their own person, so you don't have to be polite, sit down and talk while eating. ”
Then the four of them sat down, first chatted casually about Xiao Jing's recent situation, expressed their concern, and then Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi talked about business with Zhang Chengyuan.
Jiang Hudong opened his mouth first and said, "Cheng Yuan, I may have to temporarily quit the showbiz after a while." ”
Zhang Chengyuan was taken aback and said, "Things are already so strict?" ”
Xiao Jing was also surprised, stunned for a long time, thinking that what was so strict would actually make Jiang Hudong have the idea of quitting the showbiz, but she didn't ask, just listened quietly, because she knew that she didn't have the right to intervene in this matter.
Liu Zaishi, on the other hand, was relatively calm, only a little regretful and emotional, obviously knowing about it for a long time.
Jiang Hudong said: "The results of the investigation of me by the National Tax Department are about to come out, and it is almost certain that they will issue me a notice to recover taxes and impose a fine on me." This money is still a trivial matter, but my reputation is only afraid that it will stink soon, and according to the practice of our Korean entertainment industry, I can only temporarily retire from the entertainment industry for introspection. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Brother Hudong, this matter is not yet conclusive, you don't have to be too depressed, if you can trust me, leave this matter to me, I will wash away your grievances for you, I never believe that you will evade taxes." ”
Jiang Hudong said with a wry smile: "Although I did not deliberately evade taxes, I am afraid that it is only a fact that I paid some less taxes, because part of my previous taxes were paid by my former brokerage company on my behalf." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "You mean they cheated you?" Well, this is very likely, as far as the virtue of that brokerage company is concerned, since it can rely on Brother Shi's salary and not pay it, it is normal to want to put you together after learning that you are unwilling to renew your contract with them. "Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong were still the same brokerage company last year, but they have had disputes with this company, which shows that this company is really unbearable.
Jiang Hudong sighed: "Maybe." But now it's useless to blame them, it's already like this. ”
Liu Zaishi suddenly said: "Brother Hudong, don't be discouraged, maybe Cheng Yuan will have a way." ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Brother Hudong, don't worry too much, I do have a way to solve it." ”
"How are you going to solve it?" Jiang Hudong shook his head and said, "Cheng Yuan, if you want to take some improper means, then I can only refuse your kindness, I don't want to drag you into the water." According to the current situation, I can return again after quitting the showbiz for about a year at most, but if I do something like bribing government officials under your lead, the consequences will be much stricter, and it is possible to quit the showbiz for life.
It's just that if I suffer, it's nothing, but if you fall into such a situation, then what face will I have to see you? So don't worry about this, I just asked you to come over today just to talk to you and spit out my depressed anger, but I don't want you to do everything you can to save me. ”
Liu Zaishi sighed and did not persuade again.
Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a while. Said: "Brother Hudong." If you don't find a way from the government's side. I'm afraid this is really difficult to do, after all, this matter is almost closed, and it is too late for me to intervene. Well, now I may only be able to help you mobilize public opinion so that the public will have more sympathy and understanding of your plight, and in addition, avoid the National Tax Service from referring this matter to the prosecutor's office, so as not to cause a bigger storm. ”
Jiang Hudong said: "You can help me like this." I'm already satisfied. Sung Won, you don't have to worry about me, isn't it just a year, it will pass soon, and I believe that after my comeback, I will still be one of the best MCs in Korea. And this year, I can spend a good time with my wife and children and make up for my debt to them. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's good that you can think about it." Well, Brother Hu Dong, Brother Shi, your former brokerage company has been managed by relevant institutions because of financial problems, right? So should we add fuel to the fire and let it go out of business sooner? And also. Some guys who frame people and report indiscriminately because of their personal anger have to teach them a lesson. lest they go against others in the future? ”
In his opinion, most of the whistleblowers are the bosses of Jiang Hudong's former brokerage company. Since he dared to harm his friends, how could he let them go?
Liu Zaishi said: "How do you want to teach them?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "People like them who don't keep their word and like to retaliate must not be good people, but I'm afraid that the evil things they have done before are not only these two things, but there will even be stricter illegal incidents, I want to find someone to investigate what they did, if they really do bad things, you might as well raise them, if not, then forget it." ”
Liu Zaishi said: "I'm afraid this kind of thing is very troublesome and a waste of time." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It doesn't matter, I will hire the most professional personnel to do it for me, I won't waste any time, at most spend a little more money." However, if you can export the evil qi, then it is not a big deal to spend a little more money. In fact, it won't cost anything, because he will hand it over to his doppelganger to do, but it's just that it's inconvenient to tell Jiang Hudong and Liu Zaishi about this kind of thing, so he made an excuse.
Jiang Hudong said: "You can do this thing, you have a lot of money anyway." In addition, if I can really vent my bad anger, then I won't be too depressed for the next year. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Don't worry, I won't let you down in this matter." By the way, Brother Hu Dong, you will be charged hundreds of millions of taxes this time, so plus the fine, it is estimated that it will be two or three billion, do you have so much spare money? If not, I'll lend you first. ”
Jiang Hudong thought for a while and said: "Most of my money has been invested by me, and I really can't move so much money in a short period of time, well, since you have the money to lend me, then I'm not welcome, but will it affect you?" ”
Liu Zaishi said with a smile: "Brother Hudong, do you think Cheng Yuan is our kind of net worth?" Will he be short of this money? I'm afraid that the pocket money given to his sisters every year also has this amount. Xiujing, how much money does your brother give you every year? ”
Xiao Jing glanced at Zhang Chengyuan, and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, so he smiled and said, "It's almost 130 million won, right?" "The main reason is that the New Year's money is more, it is 100,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 100 million won, and the pocket money is only 2 million per month, which is average or even less than the children of the chaebol family, of course, if it is compared with the children of ordinary salarymen, it is too much.
Liu Zaishi said with a smile: "It seems that Cheng Yuan is really a chaebol generation, and his shot is generous, a sister will give more than 100 million pocket money, ten is more than a billion, and your sister seems to be more than ten, right?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "Although my sisters do have more than ten, not every sister gives so much, some sisters don't like me to give them New Year's money when they are old, and some feel that they can make money, there is no need to ask me for pocket money, and some don't want a dollar, they will only accept small gifts I give them, so I don't spend too much money on my sister every year." ”
Liu Zaishi said: "It's not much, I'm afraid it's more than a billion, right?" Well, don't talk about this, the more I talk about it, the more envious I become, anyway, you have a lot of money, so Brother Hudong, you don't need to be polite to Cheng Yuan, and there is no need to pay him interest. ”
Without waiting for Jiang Hudong to speak, Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly said: "Of course, what kind of interest is borrowing money between brothers, Brother Hudong, if you give me interest, it will be equivalent to slapping me in the face." ”
Jiang Hudong thought about it slightly, and said briskly: "Since this is the case, then no interest will be paid." Okay, let's have a good drink, come, have a drink. ”
"Well, cheers." Zhang Chengyuan responded.
Liu Zaishi hurriedly said: "I can't do it, you can do it, I will take a sip of red wine." ”
Jiang Hudong and Zhang Chengyuan smiled and didn't care.
At this time, Xiao Jing suddenly wanted to have a drink, and reached out to get the wine bottle, but was immediately glared at by Zhang Chengyuan, he naturally wouldn't let her drink outside, so she had to give up. (To be continued......)
