Chapter 197 Vice President of the Corporate Banking Department
When Yu Zijing arrived, the police had just left Jiyue Mansion.
The criminals fled before the police arrived.
It was the neighbor who called the police. Mrs. Tian's son came back from the supermarket and ran into several men sneaking up the stairs. He also saw the whole process of them kidnapping Li Qingwen.
After immediately calling the police, Tian Xiaoqi went upstairs to tell his mother.
Mrs. Tian still kept Zhou Yongan's phone number when he rented the house. She didn't know that he was now abroad. When she called him, he talked about the things happening at Jiyue Mansion.
Soon after, Li Qingwen heard Mrs. Tian's voice outside the window: "Li Qingwen, don't think you'll be alright if you hide at home. Are you going to pay me the rent your husband owes you? You said you're divorced, but he ran away abroad, so how can I find him? Anyway, I've already called the police, so you can talk to them later!"
After Mrs. Tian left, the three kidnappers became nervous and quickly let go of Li Qingwen and left Jiyue Mansion.
Mrs. Tian and her son hid in a corner and secretly took out their mobile phones to take a few photos of the kidnappers. Unfortunately, the light was dark and they could only take a rough picture.
The police then rushed over and asked Li Qingwen about the details.
Li Qingwen said, "They are just a few acquaintances. They owed me some money before, but it's all right now."
The police looked at the bruises on her face and said, "Don't hide it. Think about whether there is any other dispute."
Li Qingwen shook his head: "Sorry to bother you and make you run here in the middle of the night."
"It's okay for us to make a trip, as long as you are safe." The police officer looked at Tian Xiaoqi and said, "It was you who called the police just now, right? Please come over and register with us."
Mrs. Tian looked at Li Qingwen in confusion. He had clearly taken a photo of the suspect, but he deleted it without saying anything.
After the police left, Mrs. Tian asked with concern, "Why didn't you tell the police the truth?"
Li Qingwen said calmly: "I know what's going on. Mrs. Tian, thank you for what you did just now."
Mrs. Tian: "Why are you thanking me? You should thank your ex-husband."
Li Qingwen was stunned, and then he seemed to understand.
Shortly after Mrs. Tian left, Yu Zijing rushed over, helped contact the property management, and quickly fixed the electricity problem in Li Qingwen's home.
When they returned upstairs, Li Qingwen was applying a hot towel to her face. She asked Yu Zijing calmly, "What's the matter with you coming here so suddenly?"
Yu Zijing made up an excuse: "I was just passing by and happened to be nearby, so I came to see you. You haven't told me what happened yet?"
Li Qingwen shook his head and said in a cold tone: "Don't you know it?"
Yu Zijing immediately said: "My brother only said that you were kidnapped, but he didn't say anything specific."
Li Qingwen: "Do I need to tell him anything else? Just leave if you are fine."
The distant tone of his sister-in-law made Yu Zijing feel that life was so difficult.
"Sister-in-law," he called out directly, realizing that it was a wrong name and going with the flow, "We are husband and wife, my brother is worried about you."
Li Qingwen went upstairs: "Close the door when you go out."
"..."
The next day Zhou Xixiang came to Jiyue Mansion.
He heard about it from his younger brother who was far away in the United States, and was asked to come and visit in person, so he postponed two meetings early in the morning to come here.
The bruises on Li Qingwen's face became more obvious and shocking after a night. The bruises were concentrated on her apple cheeks, which must have been a bit painful for her.
What Yu Zijing failed to get out of the question yesterday, Zhou Xixiang now tried to pry it out in person: "When the police came, you said the criminal was an acquaintance. Do I know him?"
Zhou Xixiang, dressed in a suit and tie, looked clean-handed. He sat on the sofa opposite, staring at Li Qingwen with a frown.
The people Li Qingwen least wanted to see right now were the Zhou family, and he didn't expect Zhou Xixiang to come.
I thought he was here to discuss the stock book, but I didn't expect it was about what happened last night.
His concern still made Li Qingwen put away some of her indifference. She said, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"How can I not be worried?" Zhou Xixiang was holding back his anger. He had already considered Li Qingwen as his own family member over the past few years. "Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered recently?"
The kettle was gurgling, and then it made a click and slowly calmed down.
"I'm going to the CCB headquarters. We'll be rivals in the business world in the future," Li Qingwen said. "They asked me to be the vice president of the corporate banking department."
Zhou Xixiang was stunned for a moment, and after a long while he asked, "Are you not considering Hong Kong?"
"I don't want to survive in society as a student anymore. CCB has given me enough space to display my talents. I want to apply what I have learned to business as soon as possible."
Zhou Xixiang nodded in agreement: "Of course, I understand. When you go to the CCB headquarters, you will always run into Huayu at various bidding meetings in the future, but you don't have to be polite."
"Of course not. In my eyes, Mr. Zhou is a mountain that is difficult to conquer. If we compete for a piece of meat, not only can I not give in, I have to start from the beginning."
Zhou Xixiang always felt that she was distancing herself from him. Hearing Li Qingwen's stiff address, a subtle feeling enveloped Zhou Xixiang's heart.
Without sitting for long, Zhou Xixiang told Li Qingwen to call him as soon as anything happened, and then left Jiyue Mansion.
Li Qingwen was not idle either. Thinking that Lao Yu and Lao Liang were still helping her find a job, she decided to treat them to a meal before leaving Licheng.
Li Qingwen first invited Lao Liang, who likes hot pot, which is the taste of young people.
Li Qingwen told him that she was going to CCB soon, and Lao Liang raised his glass to clink his drink with hers: "That's incredible, you jumped straight to the top."
"During Huayu's last annual meeting, I heard you and Zhou Yongan talking about Huayu's stock repurchase. Did something big happen in the company?" Li Qingwen looked at the shabu-shabu pot in front of him, pretending to be casual.
Lao Liang said, "It's no big deal. Huayu is developing rapidly. What can go wrong? Your situation is not right. You are trying to find out information about your rivals before you even take office."
Lao Liang clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Li Qingwen raised his glass in shame and drank a glass as punishment: "That's not what I meant."
"Since you said it first, I won't be polite either. Did the Zhou family give you any shares when you divorced?" Lao Liang asked gossipingly.
Li Qingwen picked up a piece of fat beef from the bottom of the mushroom soup pot: "What do you mean, should I get a share of the equity?"
Lao Liang nodded: "Don't you know that Zhou Yongan owns 2% of Huayu's shares?"
Li Qingwen smiled and raised his glass again: "Uncle Liang is still good to me. I will ask him to share some with me later."
"Then you can't say I said that." Uncle Liang took a few bites of the beef tripe in the spicy soup.
Li Qingwen looked at him and suddenly frowned, and asked, "What are you worried about, Uncle Liang?"
"Huayu will hold an extraordinary shareholders' meeting next week. Lao Zhou said that he would amend the company's articles of association to prohibit the inheritance of equity."
The yam that Li Qingwen had just picked up with his chopsticks slipped back into the bottom of the pot.
