Chapter 1790 - 1793: Money Is Not the Root of Evil, but Greed Is
"You mean Shen Qiang has a large amount of illegal funds?" The short-haired fat woman's eyes lit up.Zhai Zhijie looked at her with a smile, then took out a thick folder from the bedside table and handed it to her, raising an eyebrow: "You're in finance, take a look yourself. This Shen Qiang, only appeared in the business world a year ago, and within a year, his assets are worth tens of billions."
"But if you look at his company's financial statements, you'll see that his company couldn't earn that much in five years, and I specifically checked; his company's credit report shows no loans and no financing, so where do you think all this money came from?"
The short-haired fat woman examined the statements carefully, her eyes flashing with greed and shock, mingled with a hint of fear: "This Shen Qiang's large and unclear source of funds is definitely suspicious, so I think you'd better stay far away from this guy. Involving such massive unclear funds, I fear Shen Qiang might be ruthless."
Zhai Zhijie laughed: "Fortune favors the bold. Shen Qiang looks like a businessman on the surface, but his background is complex. He has an antique shop called Xiduo Treasure, but at the same time, I had someone investigate Shen Qiang's financial transactions and found that two very large auction houses continually pay him huge amounts of money, usually marked as payment for goods."
"And during the same period, none of his antique shop's store treasures went missing."
The short-haired fat woman suddenly sat up and exclaimed: "A tomb raider, this Shen Qiang must be a tomb raider!"
Zhai Zhijie chuckled: "That's the most reasonable explanation. He's a tomb raider, who fences stolen goods through these two large auction houses and launders money using a restaurant, drug factory, and antique shop. That's the fundamental reason he's amassed such a large fortune at a young age in such a short time."
Hearing this, the short-haired woman said in astonishment: "But even so, getting employees to criticize him online is meaningless."
"You're wrong." Zhai Zhijie sneered: "What often instills fear is not the truth, but people's opinions. When Shen Qiang discovers the internet is inundated with criticism about him, he'll become angry, and then anxious; such emotions will make him irrational."
"In other words, this is an appetizer. Once he realizes others' words can pain him, our next step is to threaten him by exposing certain information."
The short-haired woman was shocked: "You're crazy, if he's a criminal, threatening him could get us killed to silence us."
While speaking, the short-haired woman stuffed the file folder into Zhai Zhijie's hands and got dressed, saying: "Don't involve me in any deadly matters, I certainly don't want to deal with dangerous criminals."
Zhai Zhijie said coldly: "As long as I have evidence that can pin him down, he won't dare act recklessly. Plus, a few days ago he starred as the lead in Song Weiyin's new film. Representing the consortium, I decided to invest a hundred million; no accident, funding won't be a problem. Once he takes the film, I can approach him as an investor."
"He won't be afraid of you." The short-haired woman shook her head.
Zhai Zhijie laughed: "That's why I need my employees to criticize him now, because it gives us an excuse. With this groundwork, I can question him casually. If he objects, I can say, 'You did well, why are so many people questioning you online? You're so capable, yet no one praises you!'"
"Then, whatever I say goes! Whatever I say is reasonable! Shen Qiang can only listen, unable to refute." Lying on the bed, Zhai Zhijie looked at the short-haired woman with a smile: "So you'd better consider. If you help tackle Shen Qiang, I might share a portion with you after we settle him. If you don't participate, when I've settled everything, I'll show you what it means to be out of reach."
The short-haired woman paused, then went silent for a moment: "If it works out, how much would I get?"
"Thirty billion, perhaps." Zhai Zhijie, lying on the bed, smiled: "Of course, if you can come up with an extraordinary plan, then maybe sixty billion, even a hundred billion."
Hearing this, the short-haired woman's eyes lit up, then she sat back down on the bed, her eyes filled with joy and greed.
But just then, Zhai Zhijie's phone rang.
"Mr. Zhai, please check online quickly; everything was going well initially, but now there's a problem. Somehow, many media outlets and bloggers are speaking about Shen Qiang as the Divine Doctor, and actress Song Weiyin even personally said she couldn't play a rebellious role, but after Shen Qiang's psychological counseling and treatment, she can play it well now."
"Under such circumstances, online praises for Shen Qiang are overwhelming, beyond our control."
Suddenly, Zhai Zhijie sat up, enraged: "How could this be!"
At the same time, in a restaurant's manager's office, seated at a desk, Shen Qiang looked up at Song Weiyin standing alluringly, leaning on the desk with her hands.
With a gentle smile, Shen Qiang returned his gaze to the computer screen.
"My god, I can't believe the news is true. This Shen Qiang is too amazing, even treating someone who couldn't act!"
"Salute to this brother, there's no way the actress is joking; a medical skill that cures acting is absolutely mind-blowing!"
"Hmph, you guys might not know, but this Shen Qiang is actually a famous figure, a super-powerful Divine Doctor, not only the fastest surgeon, but also the father of human lactose. Doing some psychological counseling for the actress is nothing but easy for him."
Using the mouse to scroll down the webpage, sitting in the chair, Shen Qiang slightly tilted his head, looking at Song Weiyin beside him: "This is crazy, you even admitted you couldn't play rebellious roles and said I cured you, sounds more like a joke."
"It doesn't matter if they believe it or not, but without you, I really didn't know rebellion could be such a thrilling thing. No wonder so many people want to act recklessly." Song Weiyin's beautiful eyes sparkled, but she suddenly sighed, saying: "But I have to go back now, rest a bit, and this afternoon catch a plane to the South for a TV show. Being rebellious and willful won't do, and you also have to attend the Elixir Pills conference."
Shen Qiang chuckled, looking at Song Weiyin, who looks very much like Qingxuan and once made Shen Qiang feel she should be Qingxuan, he said tenderly: "Then bear with it, if you want to be willful, come find me, I'll take you out to play."
