Chapter 2541 Reality is too heartbreaking

Chapter 2541

Qiao Zhendong couldn't understand why the governor wouldn't agree to help him out, even though it wasn't about not returning the money, it was just a matter of transferring the money around.

He couldn't understand it, so he called the governor again.

However, this time, the governor's butler answered the phone and said that the governor had gone out on business.

Well, now neither of them will see each other again.

Qiao Zhendong was anxious and unwilling to give up. He made more than a dozen phone calls that night, but he still couldn't find the governor's people until midnight.

Finally, his constant phone calls annoyed the manager.

In addition, whenever Qiao Zhendong came, he would often give the manager a report.

Out of consideration for the money, he still offered a few words of advice.

He said, "Didn't you ever think about why the governor wasn't answering your calls?"

Qiao Zhendong asked suspiciously, "I really don't know. Can you give me some pointers?"

He paused for a moment and then said, "If you're willing to give me some guidance, I'll send someone to deliver a small yellow croaker to you tomorrow. That would be a small token of my appreciation."

Upon hearing that there were small yellow croakers to be won, the steward hesitated for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, someone approached the governor and said something to him. The governor then decided to invest all his money in this way. This kind of investment is guaranteed to make a profit, and the returns will double."

"How could he possibly lend you that money again?"

"The governor doesn't not want to see you now; he simply doesn't have the money to support you!"

Qiao Zhendong listened to these words in a daze, and didn't react even after the other end of the phone hung up.

It took him a while to realize that someone was undermining his plans and blocking his old path.

He didn't believe it was such a coincidence; he was waiting for the money, and the governor had already used it for investment.

There's no such thing as a coincidence in the world, but he didn't know who received the money.

The next day, he made several more phone calls to a few close friends, basically asking to borrow money again.

Unfortunately, everyone who answered his call either refused outright, saying they had no money, or subtly told him, "I'm having cash flow problems, there's really nothing I can do."

At this point, Qiao Zhendong also sensed something unusual.

He went to find Qiao Xinran, who had been doing a lot of dirty work outside in the name of the Qiao family these days.

Many wealthy people have something on her hands.

Asking Qiao Xinran for help at this time is the perfect opportunity.

After hearing his words, Qiao Xinran frowned and said, "Father, I have more than 2000 million here. You can use it first, and we can talk about the rest later. I'll go and find a way to help you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhendong was overjoyed, thinking to himself: My daughter is the one who treats me the best.

That very evening, Qiao Xinran went to see several of her friends, as well as some wealthy people who had business dealings with her family and whom she had leverage over.

This question had a serious consequence; after asking it, Qiao Xinran was furious.

Because all those wealthy people told her, "The reason we're not helping your father is because your grandfather has already warned us that anyone who dares to lend money to Qiao Zhendong at this time is going against the Qiao family."

"From now on, we will cut off all cooperation and blacklist us."

When Qiao Zhendong learned of the result, he was furious.

They smashed everything in the house.

He smashed things while cursing, "You old geezer, what are you still doing alive at your age?"

"Are you just trying to cause me trouble? Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."

Qiao Xinran stood quietly at the door watching, and after hearing her father's angry scolding, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

Actually, she had long since looked down on Old Master Qiao, but Qiao Zhendong wouldn't allow her to touch him, so she had no choice.

Now her father could no longer hold back; she had even seen Old Master Qiao lying in his coffin.

The surrounding area was filled with wreaths and elegiac couplets.

After venting his anger, Qiao Zhendong finally calmed down a bit.

Qiao Xinran walked over, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him, speaking softly:

"Now that we've made up our minds, let's get started!"

"How should we kill him?"

"Should we just rush over and shoot him dead, or poison him?"

Qiao Zhendong paused for a moment, then looked up at Qiao Xinran. After a while, he chuckled softly, "You've wanted me to kill him for a long time, haven't you?"

Qiao Xinran didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "Yes, he's not my biological grandfather, why would I keep him around?"

“He is an obstacle to our acquisition of the Joe family. Have you forgotten the orders our master gave us?”

Qiao Zhendong sighed softly and asked ambiguously, "Tell me, what are we to our master?"

Qiao Xinran pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Is there any need to say it? We are all dogs by our master's side. Our existence is to help our master accomplish his great cause."

Qiao Zhendong remained silent.

That evening, he made another phone call. The number was rather long, and it took quite a while for the other end to answer after the call was connected.

A slightly hoarse and trembling voice came from the other end: "What happened that you called me?"

Qiao Zhendong was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Master, can you help me?"

"I'm having a hard time right now."

"The Qiao family is auditing the accounts and needs to plug this hole. Once I plug this hole, the Qiao family will be mine. Could you lend me some money?"

After he finished speaking, he waited anxiously for the response from the other end. After a long while, a hoarse voice came from the other side:

"Do you think you can get the Qiao family by betting all of this?"

"It's like a dream."

Qiao Zhendong was surprised. The voice continued, "Your daughter Qiao Ya and son-in-law Hai Jing have reached a preliminary agreement with China. The letter of intent has been signed, and he has obtained the construction rights for that cross-sea bridge."

"The specific details and matters of the cooperation are still being worked out in detail, but this matter is basically a done deal."

"Do you think that under these circumstances, even if you plug those holes, Old Master Qiao will give the Qiao family to you?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhendong's expression changed slightly.

At that moment, his head was buzzing, and he felt weak all over. He plopped down on the chair next to him.

He didn't even notice when the microphone fell from his hand.

At that moment, a cold, trembling voice came from the microphone, saying, "Although you don't want to admit it, you have to understand the reality that you are now a discarded pawn."

"Whether or not you repay that money, you're already ruined."

"Old Master Qiao is ruthless. If he wanted to cripple you, it would only take a few minutes and a single word. You think you control the Qiao family, but you only control the surface."

"Like now! The old man said that no family is allowed to lend you money, so they don't dare to lend to anyone. That's true strength."
