Chapter 198 - 198 Partnership
198 Partnership
Qu Zhi decided to settle the matters of the nursery after the next busy season. She would deal with whatever came her way. This had always been her style. However, the procedures weren’t completed yet, so he could only make preparations first.
She didn’t expect Liang Wen to give her trouble before she even started working.
He and Li Guo, as well as a small boss from another city were discussing a partnership.
If one person could earn so much, the three of them together could definitely earn more. This was what Liang Wen thought, and so did Li Guo. However, no one knew what the third person was thinking.
He came from a sales background and his surname was Wang. At first glance, he looked very energetic, but after a few more looks, he didn’t look like a good person. He had thick eyebrows, small eyes, and an inverted triangle with three white eyes. His single eyelids were puffy, and his face was thin and angular. Although Qu Zhi didn’t know what he did for a living, she had an impression of him.
Qu Zhi had met Mr. Wang once. Although she didn’t want to judge a book by its cover, Mr. Wang didn’t seem like a good person.
Now that she heard Liang Wen say that he wanted to do business with her, Qu Zhi finally understood why she didn’t have a good impression of Mr. Wang.
First of all, she would never agree to a business partnership with Mr. Wang.
In his previous life, Liang Wen had suffered too much from the partnership.
Back then, although Qu Zhi didn’t know whom he was working with, Liang Wen had been transferring a large sum of money every two to three days, and Qu Zhi’s heart ached when she saw that. The money had been sent out, but what about the money earned?
The moment she asked, Liang Wen became impatient. “We’re in the middle of a project. We have to wait. What does a woman like you know?” It sounded like a huge project.
At the time, Qu Zhi really didn’t understand. Until one day, Liang Wen sat on the sofa with bloodshot eyes and did not even eat dinner.
Only then did Qu Zhi realize that this big project was probably a huge scam.
Liang Wen had told her everything.
The third partner was from another city and was very experienced in taking on new projects. He didn’t have to worry about bidding every time. However, he followed him and invest money one after another, but did not hear any respond.
Liang Wen was coaxed at first, but he still insisted on throwing more money a few times.
Until Li Guo couldn’t hold on any longer. “Is this person lying?” The money he had invested seemed to have been thrown into the sea, and there was no sound. Liang Wen replied to him in a daze, “How can that be? Hasn’t he been doing this for 20 years?”
Li Guo didn’t believe him. He was an impatient man, and he rushed into the company as he spoke.
After checking, there were all the documents, but not a single stamp.
Looking at Mr. Wang, he had already run away, leaving them with a huge mess.
At first, Liang Wen still couldn’t accept it. Mr. Wang was usually very diligent in his work. How could he run away just like that? Something must have happened. He began to call Mr. Wang.
The first call didn’t go through, but Liang Wen was still confident, so he made the second call.
The second call didn’t go through. Liang Wen’s hands were already shaking. He couldn’t even hold the phone properly and his eyes were starting to lose focus.
When he made the third call, the reply he got was, “the other party’s phone has been switched off.”
It was ironic.
Liang Wen’s anger surged up. He smashed the cell phone in his hand onto Mr. Wang’s desk, creating a small hole.
Li Guo watched as Liang Wen wiped all the documents on Mr. Wang’s table to the ground. He shook his head and sighed, not knowing what to do.
That so-called Mr. Wang had cheated them of more than 100,000 Yuan.
The new type of “partnership” that they had vowed to work with had become a new type of fraud.
There wasn’t any concrete evidence to call the police. This was definitely not the first time Mr. Wang had done this. He had not left any key evidence behind. The police station had no choice but to keep a file.
These hundreds of thousands, the down payment for these houses, were all gone.
At that time, Liang Wen still had a mortgage for his new house. Their family had been in a tight situation for a month or two over this matter. After that, Chuchu had the habit of saving money. She said she felt uneasy if she didn’t save money.
