Chapter 23: Hooked

To be honest, I was a bit devastated.

Although I am a single parent and my mother is not a literate person, she taught me to be kind to others, to be grateful, and to be a useful person to society, and I have always remembered her words.

When I had money, I donated primary schools, built bridges and paved roads, and introduced planting techniques to the village in my hometown; At home, I am a competent husband and father, obedient to my wife and doting on my son; In the company, I love my subordinates and sympathize with my employees, even if I was ruined by the department manager in the end, I still took all the mistakes on my shoulders, did not blame anyone, did not pull anyone into the water, and paid off the debts alone until bankruptcy.

What can I get in exchange?

Relatives turn against each other, and his wife cheats.

Now I also learn that it was my former subordinate who planned the collapse of the company!

They all say that kindness is not rewarded, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it.

I silently said to myself in my heart, from now on, I may not be a bad person, but I will definitely not be a good person again, you all treat Lao Tzu as a fool, think I am a bully, now I will let you see, what is called revenge, what is called an angry lion!

You forced me!

I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, and sent a message to Zhou Ting on WeChat, saying that I had an urgent matter in the afternoon and asked for half a day off, and then took a fork in the road, keeping a distance not far and not close, and carefully followed behind Liu Ying.

This guy's vigilance is really poor, I don't know anything about the situation behind me, I walked for about ten minutes, I left the downtown area, and finally walked into the underground parking lot of a supermarket.

I followed in with a calm face, only to find that there is a door under the parking lot, covered by a black curtain, inside is a chess and card room, there are mahjong tables, billiard tables, slot machines and fruit machines, there is a big round table in the corner, twenty or thirty people around the side, babbling, very lively.

It turned out to be a gambler.

I sneered, and saw Liu Ying squeezing into the crowd and betting on the table, it should be Sangong, this turtle Sun is really unlucky, a total of seven plays, six no more than three points, and one is a point, the pile of red tickets on hand was lost in less than ten minutes, at least seven or eight thousand.

Then Liu Ying was a little anxious, looking for people around him to borrow money, but most of them didn't bird him, and played with themselves, Liu Ying had to call Zhou Ting, I pricked up my ears next to me, and heard Zhou Ting scolding in the mobile phone, saying that you are a damn gambler, the house is lost and you still gamble, sooner or later you will die at the gambling table!

Liu Ying was angry, and his temper was a little explosive, so all kinds of swear words came out, saying that Lao Tzu needs money now, Zhou Ting, you should immediately transfer 50,000 yuan to me now, and the remaining 450,000 will be talked about another day, otherwise don't blame him for being ruthless and exposing everything!

Zhou Ting hung up the phone scoldingly, and after a few minutes, Liu Ying happily returned to the table again, it seemed that the money had arrived.

It's a pity that this grandson overestimated his luck, once people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, they play for about forty minutes, and the 50,000 yuan they just borrowed lost again, Liu Ying was stupid, and stood next to him in despair, his face was sometimes hideous, sometimes painful, and sometimes guilty, just like a marquee.

I realized that it was almost there, so I took out a wad of cash from my pocket, which was the deposit I had withdrawn earlier, more than 5,000 yuan, lit a cigarette, and slowly began to bet.

I deliberately stood opposite Liu Ying, looking very calm, of course, I didn't deliberately look at him, I deliberately lost money, lost all the 5,000 yuan, pretended not to feel distressed, took out 5,000 again, and continued to lose.

Soon, the second 5,000 was also lost, I simply took out the last 10,000 yuan in my pocket, and was just about to press it, when I found Liu Ying coming out from behind, grabbed my hand, and said with a very embarrassed expression: "Yo, this is not Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

I must have taken the bait in my heart, this turtle grandson has taken the bait.

Liu Ying is half a head shorter than me, he should have lost a lot recently, his face is extremely poor, sallow and sallow, like a sick ghost, I used to be his boss, so I want to be more aggressive, so I glanced at him with disdain, and said knowingly: "Liu Ying? Didn't expect you to be here, looking for me something? ”

Liu Ying is quite cunning, pretending to inquire about my current situation, I know that he is testing my financial resources, so he simply calculates, saying that I have been doing okay recently, although the company is bankrupt, but the money I made before is enough for me to live the rest of my life, and then intentionally or unintentionally, I showed him the bank's more than one million demolition funds.

Liu Ying's eyes were green, and he pulled me to the side, he shouldn't have known about my entry into Zhou Ting's company, so he whispered to me: "Mr. Chen, don't hide it, the reason why you went bankrupt before was all because of that model Zhou Ting!" ”

I hated it in my heart, but on the surface I didn't move, and said, oh? Xiao Zhou is my favorite subordinate, and he is also a rich second generation, why does he mess with me?

Liu Ying smiled and said that this matter is quite complicated, and you did it to Zhou Ting first, so he will do it for you.

I was angry in my heart, and said in a deep voice When did I fuck him, I used to be so good to him, just like my own brother, don't mess with our relationship.

Liu Ying was in a hurry, took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket, removed the memory card inside and put it in his mobile phone, and then used the media software in his mobile phone to play a recording for me:

"Tomorrow morning, print out the plagiarized sample drawings directly, and start to promote them greatly the day after tomorrow......"

There was only a short sentence, but I still heard it instantly, this was Zhou Ting's voice!

Liu Ying saw that my face was ugly, so she looked a little weak-hearted, saying that I plagiarized other people's ideas before, all of which were instructed by Zhou Ting, but fortunately I saved the call recording at that time, divided it into more than a dozen paragraphs and put it in different memory cards, otherwise I really wouldn't have caught the handle of that bastard.

I pretended to be open-minded, patted Liu Ying on the shoulder, shook my head and said forget it, everything is over, even if it is really done by Zhou Ting, I don't want to pursue it anymore, anyway, I have already quit the clothing industry, and now I have opened a supermarket and the business is good, and the net profit of a month is enough for me to eat and drink spicy.

Liu Ying was a little panicked and said Mr. Chen, don't you want to turn over? With your ability, if it weren't for Zhou Ting's involvement in you, you would have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars, as long as you give me money, I can give you all the rest of the recordings, and I am willing to help you correct him in court and clear your name for plagiarism!

I said, why should I believe you? There are so many people in this world who have the same voice that a recording is useless, and you only have a part of it in your hand, which is not complete at all.

Liu Ying looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said that the recording was indeed only partial, and there were many that were locked in his safe by Zhou Ting, and the plagiarized sample picture was also sent to me by him, and the draft drawing should also be in the safe, as long as you find a way to get the key and get both things in your hands, the evidence will be sufficient.

I have a little more hatred in my heart, so I said that if you give me all the remaining recordings on your body, how much will it cost?

Liu Ying's eyes lit up, so she rubbed her two fingers and said that the rest of the recordings are important parts, about two minutes long, and I don't want you much, just 300,000.

I snorted and said that if you make a recording that I don't know whether it is true or not, you want me 300,000, you will be a fool of me, right?

After saying that, I turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation, Liu Ying had just lost a red eye, and was about to need money to turn the tables, so he came up to stop me, and said Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry to leave, 300,000 is not good, you can give me 200,000!

I knocked his hand off and said that I am quite comfortable now, anyway, it has been so long, and I may not win the lawsuit again, even if I get the recording, it is useless, forget it.

Liu Ying gritted her teeth and said otherwise, Mr. Chen, you give me 100,000 yuan, and I will give you the rest of the recording, 100,000 yuan is the lowest price, and it is really not good to be below this number!

I saw that he was a little broken and broken, and knew that he had retreated to the limit, so I nodded and said Okay, I can give you 100,000 yuan, but you have to give me all the recordings first.

Liu Ying was in a hurry to ask for money, and she didn't hesitate, she took out a large number of USB flash drives from her trouser pocket, a total of 7, and stuffed them all into my hand.

Of course, I wouldn't give him money easily, so I removed the memory cards one by one, and after making sure that there were recordings stored in them, I transferred 100,000 yuan to him with online banking.

I know that I can't push Liu Ying too quickly, once he becomes angry and tells Zhou Ting about this and asks him to take precautions, then I will be empty, so the 100,000 yuan must be given no matter what, and not a single point will be missing.

After Liu Ying got the money, she looked a little excited, and said Mr. Chen, do you know why Zhou Ting wants to mess with you? Come, just look at this picture. As he spoke, he pulled out a crumpled picture from his trouser pocket and handed it to me.

I had a sense of foreboding, I reached out to take the photo, and at a glance, my brain exploded, as if I had been hit hard, my ears buzzed, and my whole person froze.
