Walking out of the first branch of Haishi, Chen Xiao couldn't cry or laugh. Anyone who encounters so many amazing things in a few days is always amazed. Chen Xiao is naturally the same.

But surprised to be surprised, Chen Xiao's pace never stopped for a moment, and went straight home! A phone call from his old man made him feel up and down in his heart.

In a small apartment in Haishi, as soon as Chen Xiao entered the door, a small figure rushed out, hugged Chen Xiao, and said happily: "Brother, are you back?" ”

The sweet voice eliminated all the worries in Chen Xiao's heart. Chen Xiao touched the little girl's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, are you obedient at home!" ”

The little girl looked like she was ten years old, and she quickly nodded and said, "Well, my brother is not at home, I am obedient!" ”

While speaking, Chen Xiaoyu let Chen Xiao into the house.

The whole apartment is not big, but about sixty or seventy square meters, which looks very shabby.

Looking at the dilapidated apartment, and then at the cute little girl like a porcelain doll in front of him, Chen Xiao smiled bitterly for a while.

Once upon a time, Chen Xiao also lived in a mansion and villa, a life of fine clothes and fine food, but unfortunately it was only more than a month, and his life was full of ups and downs.

Chen Xiao's father, Chen Guozhong, failed in business, and the family had no choice but to return to the former dilapidated apartment. As if it were the myth of Cinderella, after twelve o'clock, everything was beaten back to its original shape.

Chen Xiao entered the room and glanced around.

At this moment, Chen Xiao's father, Chen Guozhong, and mother Li Shuhua are sitting on the sofa with a straight face.

"Xiao'er, I'm back!" Li Shuhua spoke first, full of concern.

"Yes!" Chen Xiaoen sighed, obviously this family was in a relatively low mood except for Chen Xiaoyu.

Chen Guozhong glanced at Chen Xiao, and then motioned to Li Shuhua and said, "It's not easy for the child to go to school outside, go get him some hot soup!" ”

Li Shuhua also understood what Chen Guozhong meant, and hurriedly got up and walked into the kitchen.

Chen Xiao reluctantly smiled and came to Chen Guozhong's side: "Dad, is there anything wrong with calling me back in such a hurry?" ”

Chen Guozhong sighed, took out a cigarette from his body, lit it, and said with a hesitant expression: "Xiao'er, are you okay at school, is the living expenses enough?" ”

Chen Xiao was stunned, Chen Guozhong was born in the army, and in Chen Xiao's impression, he took the route of slashing and killing, and he was so warm once upon a time. Ask about these details of life.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm doing well at school, and my living expenses are enough!" Chen Xiao smiled reluctantly.

Chen Guozhong shook his head with a smile, and stopped talking.

The father and son sat quietly for a while, and then Chen Guozhong took out the cigarette butt and spoke again: "Xiao'er, you also know the situation at home." In the past, my father did a little business, which could be regarded as being able to make your brothers and sisters live well. But now ......"

Chen Xiao spoke first: "Dad, is there something else in the company that is gone!" ”

Chen Guozhong smashed his mouth and nodded helplessly: "The company has been declared bankrupt, and all assets have been seized." ”

"Then it should be fine! Although life is a little harder now, it will definitely get better in the future! Chen Xiao said optimistically.

After Chen Guozhong retired from the army, he started a business, although the company is not big, but it is not small.

The Chen family and Sheng Tang are both engaged in the business of Chinese herbal medicines, and they can almost monopolize half of the Chinese herbal medicine market in the sea market, and the company's assets in its heyday are also over 100 million.

It's a pity that some time ago, Chen Guozhong was accidentally framed by someone and bought a batch of fake medicinal materials.

Originally, the loss of this batch of counterfeit drugs was only tens of millions, but once there was a rumor of the business of making medicinal materials, it would be a devastating blow.

No matter what Chen Guozhong tried his best, the gossip in the market was still in the dust, and gradually Heshengtang was no longer trusted, but in just half a year, the whole company was over.

"Hmph, it's all Uncle Zhao's villain!" Chen Xiaoyu didn't know when he came to Chen Xiao's father and son, and complained in a milky voice.

Chen Guozhong smiled helplessly and shook his head. Then he looked at Chen Xiao seriously, and said seriously: "Business is like this, it's very common for me to cheat!" ”

Chen Guozhong seemed to be explaining something, but he revealed a kind of helplessness.

"Dad, it's all over, don't bother so much!" Chen Xiao comforted.

Chen Guozhong nodded, continued to take out a cigarette, and lit it: "I realized the crisis of this industry a few years ago, so I saved some garment factories and catering industries under your mother's name. ”

Chen Guozhong is also a veteran of the shopping mall, so he naturally understands the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit.

Chen Xiao hurriedly laughed, and said to Chen Guozhong with a thumbs up: "Dad, you are really scheming, with these start-up funds, we can still make a comeback!" ”

"Comeback?" Chen Guozhong laughed self-deprecatingly: "I could have made a comeback." But ......"

"But what?" Chen Xiao hurriedly asked.

"However, some people seem to have targeted our family, and these properties have been investigated and handed over. Just today, those small industries under your mother's name have also been seized by the people from above. Although several garment factories were not closed, all of them were liquidated. Now these small factories are in name only, and we are not only unable to pay the wages of the factory workers, but also owe a lot of debts to the banks. Chen Guozhong sighed dejectedly, looked at the ceiling, and said: "Maybe this apartment will be confiscated in a few days!" ”

Chen Xiao's face suddenly became gloomy. Although he doesn't understand the things in the business field, he still understands some of the rules in it, and even if the company is overturned, it will be so desperately targeted, it is not just a business grudge, it is a desperate practice.

"Zhao Ziyang, it must be him!" Chen Xiao said fiercely.

Chen Guozhong nodded and said, "Yes, it's him!" ”

"Dad, how much do we owe the bank now?" Chen Xiao calmed down and asked.

"Together with the wages of the workers, ten million are owed!"

10 million, originally for Chen Guozhong, was just a finger number, not a problem. But now, the company is bankrupt and all assets are liquidated, even if Chen Guozhong is asked to come up with 100,000 yuan, it is a very difficult thing.

Father and son looked at each other, and there was a feeling that they didn't know what to do.

"Xiao'er, do you know why Zhao Ziyang is so targeted and calculating our family?" Chen Guozhong suddenly spoke.

Chen Xiao was caught off guard, shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”

It stands to reason that Zhao Ziyang and the Chen family are not in the same business, there is no intersection in business, and the older generation of the two families still have some friendship, why did they suddenly get into trouble, Chen Xiao has never thought about this question.

At this moment, after being reminded by Chen Guozhong, Chen Xiao suddenly came back to his senses and muttered in surprise: "Yes, there is no reason, what good is it for him to do this?" ”

Chen Guozhong smiled bitterly: "Zhao Ziyang has always coveted something in our family!" I have been told many times that I will pay a lot of money for the second time, but I have never agreed. ”

"What's that?" Chen Xiao couldn't understand what could make Zhao Ziyang so thankless and laborious.

Chen Guozhong couldn't help shaking his head, and said to himself: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on it, this is not false at all. I seem to be beautiful all these years, but I don't know how many people are staring at this thing, this can be regarded as my Chen family's treasure! ”
