There seemed to be over a hundred bank cards in the box.
Shu Qingqing stared blankly for a few seconds. Mom, Dad, this money...
Wen Xin said, Don't worry, Nannan, the money is absolutely clean.
Shu Jingcheng patted her shoulder. Did Nannan forget that our ancestors were government officials? Your paternal and maternal grandparents were all only children, and your mom and dad are also only children. Therefore, everything our family has passed down through the generations belongs to you.
Shu Qingqing closed the lid. Mom, Dad, I can't take this money.
You silly child. Wen Xin touched her face. You are the only child in our family. Who else would we give this money to?
Shu Qingqing said, But what about the future...
Shu Jingcheng replied, You don't need to worry about the future at all. Your mom and I are only in our fifties. Now that we have found you, we have the energy to continue striving in our careers. Let me tell you a secret: Dad holds a patent that can sell for at least two hundred million. So just take this money and use it with peace of mind.
Shu Qingqing still shook her head. Mom, Dad, I really can't take it. I am making my own money, and I also have Lu Bochuan's card with me.
Wen Xin held her hand and spoke earnestly, Mom knows Bochuan treats you very well, and I trust his character. He won't argue with you over money. Nannan, Mom feels this isn't your fault, but we must take responsibility for our own actions. Besides, if you don't spend this money, won't it still be yours when your mom and dad pass away someday?
Shu Qingqing covered her mother's mouth. Mom, don't say things like that.
Nannan, during the twenty-odd years you were lost, Mom didn't even want to live at times. It was the belief of finding you that kept me alive until today. No amount of money can ever make up for what Mom and Dad owe you, Wen Xin said, her eyes turning red again.
Shu Jingcheng added, Nannan, please don't be so polite with Mom and Dad. Your mom is right. If we pass away, all this money will be left to you anyway. You are simply using it ahead of time, so don't feel burdened by it.
Shu Qingqing's eyes grew moist. Mom, Dad, thank you.
The two of them stayed with her a little longer before leaving.
Shu Qingqing composed herself and gave Lu Bochuan a call.
Lu Bochuan, can you come back for a bit?
Lu Bochuan didn't ask what it was about; he agreed immediately.
Twenty minutes later, a black Bentley parked at the door.
Lu Bochuan strode up to the second floor.
As soon as he entered, Shu Qingqing ran over and hugged his waist. Lu Bochuan, I already know what happened at the meeting.
Lu Bochuan stroked her hair. Yeah, don't worry, I've already resolved everything.
The two hugged quietly for a moment before Shu Qingqing pulled him to the sofa. Here is twenty billion that my parents gave me. Take it to the company first. They will give me the remaining ten billion later.
Lu Bochuan frowned. Give the money back to your parents. We have money. How can we use your parents' money?
Shu Qingqing said, My parents said we must take responsibility for our own actions. Take it. I will work hard to make money in the future.
Lu Bochuan sighed and closed the lid. Come here, I'll take you to talk to your parents.
Lu Bochuan held Shu Qingqing's hand with one hand and carried the box with the other, finding Wen Xin and Shu Jingcheng. Mom, Dad, keep this money. I have already solved the issue.
Shu Jingcheng pushed the box back. We already agreed with Nannan. Stop declining.
Wen Xin said, Nannan's business is our business. It is perfectly justified for her to use our money.
Lu Bochuan said, Mom, Dad, Qingqing is my wife. It is also perfectly justified for her to use my money.
The two sides went back and forth for a long time.
Unable to out-argue Lu Bochuan, Shu Jingcheng had to find a compromise. How about this: we'll put up fifteen billion, and you cover the rest. That's settled. No more arguments.
Lu Bochuan had no choice but to agree for the time being.
Shu Jingcheng asked again, Bochuan, Qingqing said this matter had originally been suppressed. Who brought it up again? Was it that... that person named Ren something?
Lu Bochuan nodded. Ren Qiuyang acquired the shares from Li Dagang's son and brought the matter up again at the board meeting. But don't worry, I have leverage on her too. Once I pull some strings, the evidence will be submitted very soon.
Shu Jingcheng immediately caught the last sentence. That Ren someone has backing?
Shu Qingqing suddenly recalled hearing before that the second son of the Peng family, whom Ren Qiuyang married, was a government official, and he had married the daughter of the military's second-in-command. So they were quite powerful.
No wonder Lu Bochuan said he needed to pull strings to submit the evidence.
Lu Bochuan nodded, explaining the position of the Peng family's second son and the name of his wife's father.
Shu Jingcheng suddenly scoffed coldly. Is that all?
Lu Bochuan and Shu Qingqing both looked over at the same time.
Shu Jingcheng said, Nannan, you were too young to remember, but your grandfather used to be the president of Nanda University. He taught Wu Zhengan. Dad even has to call Wu Zhengan his senior brother. Just you wait, I'll contact your Uncle Wu right now and see if they still dare to bend the law for personal gain.
Shu Qingqing still couldn't recall the name.
Lu Bochuan leaned into her ear and told her, Wu Zhengan is of a higher rank than that daughter's father.
Shu Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up. Dad, Grandpa was that amazing?
Shu Jingcheng laughed heartily.
Originally, Shu Jingcheng was going to see Wu Zhengan alone, but upon learning that they had found their missing daughter, Wu Zhengan specifically asked Wen Xin to bring Lu Bochuan and Shu Qingqing along.
After the meal, Lu Bochuan brought out the evidence. Wu Zhengan flipped through a few pages and immediately stated that with such a complete chain of evidence, as long as it was submitted, it would be reviewed very quickly.
This matter was considered resolved.
That morning, Lu Bochuan had just walked out of a meeting at a subsidiary company when he saw a group of people gathered around a cubicle.
Seeing this, the branch manager walked over, about to lose his temper, but when he saw the video playing on the computer screen, he instantly fell silent.
The manager picked up the laptop from the desk. Haha, Mr. Lu, look, the employees are watching this news.
Zhou Zheng took a closer look. The news was reporting exactly on the Qianshuiwan Project!
The Qianshuiwan Project was a large-scale tourist resort project. Now, it was not only exposed that there were illegal operations during its approval process, but the quality of the constructed buildings was also flawed. Just yesterday, a building actually collapsed, resulting in two deaths and over a dozen severe injuries.
Currently, the relevant departments had ordered a complete halt to the project, and the responsible personnel were to be investigated.
The branch manager smiled flatteringly. Mr. Lu, fortunately, we didn't invest in this Qianshuiwan Project back then, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss. It seems that not winning this project back then was actually heaven helping us. Of course, it is primarily due to your wise and decisive leadership.
