Chapter 251: Funds Frozen!
Recently during this period.
Jiang Tao obtained many rewards by completing various sudden special missions.
Cash, physique, and also charm value.
Currently, his charm value has reached 78 points.
Although it can’t compare to Xu Li’s 98, it is considered quite high among ordinary people.
Besides enhancing appearance, charm value also contributes to personal charm and infectivity.
Yuan Mengqi, watching Jiang Tao speak eloquently, suddenly felt that her old classmate was more handsome and charming than when he was young.
Of course, Yuan Mengqi doesn’t deny it.
When she looks at Jiang Tao now, there is indeed a filter.
After all, at her most helpless and most in need of help.
Jiang Tao took the initiative and selflessly provided her with assistance.
He lent her 300,000 yuan to help her overcome difficulties.
Facing such an old classmate, who is also successful in his career and very handsome.
It is normal to have a filter, right?
Honestly, listening to Jiang Tao’s plans for his future career, Yuan Mengqi even wanted to resign and work for him.
“Old classmate, do you think I can be a store manager for you?”
Yuan Mengqi said to Jiang Tao jokingly.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.
Jiang Tao looked at Yuan Mengqi and used the yellow Bole skill on her.
Yellow Character Name yellow: Yuan Mengqi
Yellow Talent yellow: Catering Management blue four and a half blue
Seeing Yuan Mengqi’s talent, Jiang Tao smiled.
It turns out that his old classmate is a restaurant manager who was delayed by real estate!
“Cough cough, I was just asking casually, I didn’t mean to put you on the spot.”
Seeing that Jiang Tao didn’t speak, Yuan Mengqi thought he was in a difficult situation and comforted him with a smile.
She had indeed just said it casually.
Now that she is middle-aged, she never thought about leaving her hometown to go to a big city like the capital to live.
Moreover, her mother is old and not in good health, so she doesn’t want to be too far from her mother.
Working in her hometown, Ping County, although the salary is not as good as in big cities like the capital, it is convenient to take care of her mother.
“Hahaha, Class Monitor Yuan misunderstood, I’m really not in a difficult situation. If a talent like you is willing to help me, of course I’ll welcome it with open arms.”
Jiang Tao’s mind moved, and he closed the yellow Bole yellow skill, looking at Yuan Mengqi with sincere eyes.
“Don’t comfort me, what kind of talent am I? I have no education, no experience, and I’m old, I’m useless.”
Yuan Mengqi shook her head and smiled. She was very clear about her own conditions and knew that she had nothing to do with the word “talent.”
She was just one of the billions of ordinary people.
“Class Monitor Yuan, don’t say that. When you were the class monitor, our class was the strongest in the grade in terms of discipline and unity.”
“Your organizational skills, management skills, and leadership skills are evident to everyone.”
“How about this, aren’t I planning to poach your younger brother? You can come along too, and bring Auntie to the capital with you.”
“Regarding salary and treatment, don’t worry, with our relationship, I definitely won’t treat you unfairly.”
“If you work with me, I’ll give you a base salary of 15,000 yuan per month, and bonuses will be calculated separately based on the store’s net profit.”
Jiang Tao didn’t play games with Yuan Mengqi and directly offered a high salary, wanting to recruit her to his side.
Preparing to open a new store from scratch, there are all sorts of messy things to deal with.
Jiang Tao is used to being lazy, and he doesn’t want to do everything himself.
Distributing the work to the right people is what a boss should do.
Jiang Tao has high expectations for the future of the hot pot restaurant and is very confident.
With the powerful “cheat” of yellow Delicious Clay Pot yellow, it will definitely be able to grow and become stronger in the capital in the future.
At that time, a large number of management talents and ordinary employees will be needed to support the operation of the stores.
Recruiting talents now is also a form of planning for the future.
“No, are you serious?”
Yuan Mengqi looked at Jiang Tao’s serious expression and was a bit stunned.
“Of course I’m serious, what do you say, future rich woman? Do you want to work for me, or do you look down on my small business?”
Jiang Tao said to Yuan Mengqi with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Tao say “future rich woman,” Yuan Mengqi was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant a few seconds later.
If we’re being honest, she has to thank Jiang Tao for this matter.
If Jiang Tao hadn’t mentioned this matter to her today.
She would probably have been kept in the dark by her ex-husband her whole life.
Looking back now, her ex-husband indeed had many unusual behaviors in the month before their divorce.
First, he acted stubbornly and resigned from a stable job he had held for over ten years without listening to advice.
Then he started looking for a new job, going out early and returning late every day.
Moreover, Liu Gang, who was busy looking for a new job for a month, not only didn’t lose weight but gained more than ten pounds.
His complexion was also much more ruddy than when he was working, and he wasn’t anxious at all due to unemployment, always cheerful.
At that time, Yuan Mengqi didn’t think much of it and thought he just had a good attitude, and even considered it a good thing.
After all, whether one has money or not, being cheerful every day is definitely better than sighing every day and consuming oneself internally.
Now, correlating with Jiang Tao saying Liu Gang won 10 million…
Recalling Liu Gang’s state at that time, it does match!
“Class Monitor Yuan? What are you thinking about so intently?”
Seeing Yuan Mengqi’s dazed expression, Jiang Tao waved his hand in front of her.
“Ah, oh, nothing, nothing, I’ll think about this matter again.”
“Also, Jiang Tao, thank you for giving me such a good opportunity, and thank you for valuing me so much.”
“Honestly, the salary you’re offering is very high. In all my years of working, I’ve only earned 15,000 yuan a month a few times.”
“My current concern is that my work ability doesn’t match the salary you’re offering.”
Yuan Mengqi was not blinded by the high salary offered by Jiang Tao. She looked at Jiang Tao gently and said that she needed to consider it further.
“Alright, you take your time to consider. I am very serious, very sincere, and I really need your help.”
“Call me when you’ve thought it through. I have a vacant position waiting for you, and Class Monitor Yuan is always welcome to return.”
Jiang Tao didn’t force Yuan Mengqi to make a decision on the spot, giving her time to consider.
“Okay, thank you Jiang Tao, thank you for your…”
Yuan Mengqi really wanted to say “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me,” but she swallowed the words back.
Saying such things in an environment where they were alone would be a bit ambiguous.
Ring ring ring——
As soon as Yuan Mengqi finished speaking, a phone ringtone sounded in the car.
Jiang Tao casually took out his phone from his pocket. The caller ID was “Ji Wei.”
Jiang Tao also had a good impression of his old classmate Ji Wei.
The information about Shunning Mansion reopening was triggered by his contact with Ji Wei.
Speaking of which, Ji Wei played a crucial role in his ability to earn a lot of money on the Shunning Mansion project this time.
“Hello, Old Ji…”
“Sister Bai is sending you a pillow? I’m not home right now, I’m out.”
“Okay, deliver it to the downstairs of the residential complex. I’ll be back in about ten minutes at most.”
“Alright, bye-bye, we’ll talk when we meet.”
After Jiang Tao answered the call, he said a few simple words to Ji Wei and hung up.
“Jiang Tao, if you have something to do, go ahead. I’ll go back to work first.”
After Jiang Tao hung up the phone, Yuan Mengqi pointed towards the direction of the Yicheng Real Estate agent outside the car window.
Jiang Tao put down his phone, looked at Yuan Mengqi, and smiled:
“Okay, then you go back to work. I’ll notify you if there’s any progress on the bonus.”
“Thank you for your trouble, Jiang Tao. After this is done, I’ll have to thank you properly.”
Yuan Mengqi also smiled, and there was gratitude, as well as a hint of something indescribable in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Tao.
“Alright, it’s a deal.”
“Yes, it’s a deal. I’m leaving, goodbye.”
“Bye-bye.”
Yuan Mengqi waved goodbye to Jiang Tao, gently pulled open the car door, got out, and walked towards the agent’s direction in her high heels.
Jiang Tao also started the car and drove towards Xicheng Huafu.
…
Meanwhile.
In a hot spring hotel in a scenic area near Shi City.
Liu Gang, with a white bath towel around his waist, leaned against the headboard smoking.
He had a seemingly twenty-something, innocent-faced internet celebrity girl in his left arm, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
“Brother, you promised me you’d buy me the latest Fruit Phone just now.”
The girl caressed Liu Gang’s chest and coquettishly pouted.
“Buy it! Can I let you down!”
Liu Gang grabbed the girl’s body fiercely and let out a few hearty laughs.
Having money is really f**king good!
After having money, Liu Gang realized how proactive those beautiful streamers he could only dream of before were!
Before, he could only look at them on his phone and satisfy his eyes.
Yesterday, he casually tipped his favorite streamer, whom he had been following for over a year, with 10,000 yuan in gifts, and she delivered herself to his door.
Although the real person was a bit different from her livestream appearance…
But this girl was really hot!
Calling him “brother” one after another made Liu Gang extremely satisfied, feeling that the over 20,000 yuan was well spent.
Speaking of which, he was now a rich man with millions in net worth!
After some more intimate moments in bed, Liu Gang and the streamer he bought with money checked out of the hotel.
After leaving, they both got into a BMW 3 Series that Liu Gang had just bought yesterday and drove straight to Wanda Plaza in Shi City.
They parked the car in the underground parking lot of Wanda Plaza, went upstairs, and headed straight to the Apple store on the first floor.
The streamer quickly chose the phone she wanted to buy.
It was a champagne-colored iPhone 16 Pro, costing over 8,600 yuan for the whole set.
Before winning the prize, Liu Gang’s monthly salary was only over 4,300 yuan.
A phone like this was directly equivalent to their two months’ salary!
Now, 8,600 yuan seemed like a small amount of money to him.
“Swipe the card!”
After the streamer selected the configuration, Liu Gang gracefully took out a bank card from his card holder and handed it to the clerk to swipe.
“Thank you, dear, brother, you’re so good, I feel like I’m falling in love with you.”
Seeing her cash cow start to “rain gold coins,” the streamer leaned on Liu Gang again with a charming look.
Liu Gang put his arm around the streamer’s slender waist and listened to her calling him dear and brother. His old face was almost creased with smiles.
“What do you want to eat tonight? Brother will take you.”
“Dear, I want to eat abalone lobster at the Hilton, can I?”
“Of course.”
As they were discussing what to eat for lunch, the clerk who had gone to swipe Liu Gang’s card returned.
“I’m sorry sir, your card is frozen and cannot be used for payment. Would you like to use another card or choose another payment method?”
The clerk said this while handing Liu Gang’s bank card back to him.
“Frozen? How is that possible? I swiped it half an hour ago. Try again.”
Liu Gang was slightly taken aback, but internally he thought it must be a clerk error or a problem with the store’s machine.
“Sir, I’ve tried it three times already, and it’s indeed frozen. Why don’t you consult with your issuing bank?”
Seeing the clerk’s confident demeanor, Liu Gang’s heart began to panic.
Liu Gang did not have the habit of using credit cards. This card was a savings card under his name.
He divided the 8 million yuan prize money he received after taxes into four portions.
Each portion was 2 million yuan, deposited in 4 different banks.
Three of these portions were fixed deposits for 5 years.
The bank card in his hand contained the 2 million yuan in current deposits he kept for his own consumption.
“Try again.”
Liu Gang swallowed nervously and asked the clerk to try again.
The result was naturally the same: the funds were frozen.
Liu Gang immediately took out his phone angrily and called the bank teller he had added when he made the deposit.
He deposited 2 million yuan in the bank at one time. In a “rich man” novel, this is nothing, but in reality, he was definitely a major client.
When he handled the deposit, the beautiful bank teller was very enthusiastic and even took the initiative to leave her contact information with Liu Gang.
“Hello Xiao Li, what’s going on with your bank? Why is my bank card frozen?”
“What? The court did it?”
“I haven’t committed any crimes, nor do I owe any debts, so why freeze my bank card?”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’m coming over right away. We can talk in person!”
Hanging up the phone, Liu Gang, with a dark expression, was about to leave.
“Brother, I haven’t bought my phone yet.”
“Next time, my dear. Next time for sure. I have some business at the bank.”
“Next time? Are you playing me! I served you so well last night, and you’re telling me ‘next time for sure’?”
The streamer, seeing Liu Gang about to skip out on the bill, was immediately unhappy. She grabbed his arm and stopped him from leaving.
“I really have something to do!”
With millions of funds frozen, Liu Gang was very anxious.
“I don’t care! If you don’t buy me a phone today, I’ll report you to the police station!”
“My f**king…”
Seeing the previously sweet girl who called him “brother” and “dear” one after another suddenly turn into a shrew demanding to report him to the police station.
Liu Gang’s head was spinning.
He had no choice but to borrow over 20,000 yuan on Alipay to buy the phone.
After buying the phone, Liu Gang couldn’t even bother to eat with the girl.
He rushed out and drove to the bank where he had handled his business.
Half an hour later…
Liu Gang leaned back against the chair with a dejected expression, a chill running from the top of his head to his tailbone.
All 4 bank cards and over 7 million yuan in funds were frozen!
From the information provided by the bank, he also learned that the Ping County court had applied for execution.
Liu Gang’s brain was about to explode, and he couldn’t figure out what crime he had committed.
As for freezing his millions in funds?
Crime…
If it were a crime.
Suddenly, Liu Gang thought of a possibility.
If it were a crime, he had indeed committed one, but this secret was known only to himself.
“Yuan Mengqi! Could it be her? Did she find out about the prize money?”
Currently, this was the only explanation that made sense!
