Chapter: 6380
Hong Wufa said, "You should hurry and thank me first, I can help you, but only to a certain extent. I cannot completely take away your troubles and let Zhang Erye bear all the responsibility. After all, Zhang Erye is my little brother. If I were to compromise for someone else and press my little brother to take on the responsibility, then how could I expect them to trust me in the future?"
Shouxu Changkun's heart sank again, tight with anxiety, asking, "Then what can you do for me?"
Hong Wufa said, "I can make a phone call to the authorities. Since this matter occurred within the antique street and is internal to the community, I can get it resolved here without involving legal authorities. That way, at least you won't end up in jail."
Shouxu Changkun's heart, which had just sunk, suddenly lifted again.
Won't go to jail, that means he has a safety net. He might lose face or his job, but he won't lose his freedom.
Just as he felt slightly better, Hong Wufa said, "However, I can only help you under certain conditions. You have to agree, and then I'll help you. Otherwise, you'll just have to fend for yourself."
Shouxu Changkun hastily said, "Fifth uncle, you're saying that as long as I can do it, I'll definitely agree!"
Hong Wufa said, "I may be able to keep this matter from leaving the antique street, but ultimately, you still need to resolve this matter within the antique street. So, I want you to go to the antique street and apologize to Zhou Liyuan in person, and also return the 300,000 yuan you took from him."
Shouxu Changkun heard these words and was about to cry, feeling extremely wronged, saying, "Fifth uncle... he's already earned 1.97 million yuan. Do I really need to give back this 300,000 yuan as well?"
Hong Wufa said, "He earned that much is his business; the 300,000 yuan you took from him is fraudulent income, got it?"
Shouxu Changkun exclaimed, "But I spent 98,000 yuan to buy things! I spent 98,000 yuan and earned back 3 million, with a profit margin of just 2 million. If I return 30 million to him, won't I lose my initial investment too?"
Hong Wufa replied calmly, "It's already too late if you're still reluctant to part with your money. Mr. Shouxu, you'll have to figure this out yourself."
"Hey, hey!" Shouxu Changkun suddenly became anxious and quickly said, "Fifth uncle, I'm returning it! Can't I just return it? I'll give back all my profits, a total of 2 million, not a single yuan less. My initial investment should at least be left to me, right or wrong?"
Hong Wufa asked him, "Mr. Shouxu, if someone who commits fraud is caught and the authorities ask them to return the fraudulent money, would they also have to deduct their phone bill and internet fees?"
"I..." Shouxu Changkun was suddenly speechless, completely unsure of how to respond.
Hong Wufa then said, "Mr. Shouxu, I'm promising you, helping you come up with a plan, all for the sake of Master Ye's face. But since it's already like this, if you're still reluctant to part with your money, don't waste my time."
Shouxu Changkun collapsed and could only shout loudly, "Okay, okay, fifth uncle! I'll give back 30 million to him, that should be enough, right?"
Hong Wufa then said, "I suggest you just donate the money to a charity organization, then take the donation receipt and go apologize to Zhou Liyuan in person. Because I just heard that he has already donated 10 million yuan to a charity organization, so he definitely won't mind if you return 30 million to him. Just do as you please, and he might think highly of you."
Shouxu Changkun had already given up, shouting repeatedly, "Okay! I'll donate! The entire 30 million will be donated!"
Hong Wufa smiled and said, "That's it, Mr. Shouxu. Money is external to oneself. You have this realization, and I believe you should be able to smoothly get through this situation."
As he was saying this, he added, "Time's running out. I think you should just go see Zhou Liyuan at the antique street instead."
Shouxu Changkun helplessly said, "Grandpa Hong, I'm in Dubai right now with my wife on vacation, and I just landed a minute ago. The plane is only just stopping."
As he was saying this, he raised his head subconsciously and said, "The cabin door hasn't even opened yet."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that all the passengers in the waiting area were looking at him with disdainful gazes.
He only then realized that the sound of his phone call had been a bit loud, and probably everyone on this plane had heard it. JrNovels.com
