Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Chi Chi returned to the living room, the phone rang, and it rang frighteningly.Zhu Mingan walked to the phone and looked at the phone, like watching a bomb that was about to explode. He wanted to answer it, but he didn't dare to answer it.He knew that, except for Mr. Tian, ​​the director of the "New Far East" office, no one would call at more than six o'clock in the morning. Mama Liu had already woken up and was about to make coffee. When she heard the phone ringing, she wanted to come over to answer it. It was obvious that Zhu Mingan was at the phone and ignored it, and said to Zhu Mingan, "Young master, the phone is ringing like hell, why not?" Pick it up? Quickly pick it up."

Only then did Zhu Ming'an pick up the microphone. It was indeed Mr. Tian. Mr. Tian called on the phone: "Chairman, it's terrible! People outside have crowded half of Moss Road, and the foreigners in the patrol room said that if we don't open the door, we will be sued if someone dies. What do you think?" manage?" Zhu Ming'an asked tremblingly, "You...what do you say?" Mr. Tian said: "Chairman, since you want me to tell you, I have to tell the truth: 'New Far East' is over, it will open early and finish early, and open late and finish late. Anyway, it will finish today, I know..."

Zhu Ming'an still didn't give up: "Isn't there even a glimmer of hope... gone?" Mr. Tian said: "There is no hope. The accountant and I have secretly cleaned up the property of 'New Far East' last night. Even if the current price of our shares can be kept at one yuan and two cents, we can still withdraw the funds from Tengda. 700,000. As you may know, Tengda Day and Night Bank is closed, and Mrs. Zhen is missing, so we can’t get a penny of Tengda’s money. Moreover, the current price of the stock of "New Far East" cannot be kept at one yuan and two cents. I'm afraid it will be worthless when the first set starts shooting."

Zhu Mingan asked in horror: "Then...then how much will we lose?" Mr. Tian said: "I'm afraid it can't be less than 5 million!" Zhu Ming'an didn't quite believe it, so he asked again: "How much...how much?" Mr. Tian once again affirmed: "About 5 million!" My God, it's such a big hole!This means that "New Far East" has gone bankrupt, and it doesn't make sense to open the door or not—I'm afraid the situation will be worse when the door is opened. bigger! Mr. Tian was afraid that he would run away, so he yelled on the phone again: "Chairman, you can't hurt me! You have to come here immediately. If you don't come, I won't be able to take this huge responsibility!"

Although Zhu Ming'an was desperate at this time, he hadn't thought of running away. He touched the microphone with both hands and thought for a long time, and sweated out of his head, and the hand holding the microphone was also sweating, so he said to Mr. Tian: "Don't worry. , and...don't open the door early, I'll go right away." Mr. Tian said: "Okay, okay, then you come here quickly, I won't talk about other things, we will discuss it when we meet." Putting down the microphone, Zhu Ming'an immediately thought of Mr. He, and felt that Mr. He had to take responsibility for "New Far East". When things got to this point, it was impossible for the old man to get away.

Then hang up the phone to He mansion. It was Mrs. Fifth who answered the phone. Mrs. Fifth said that Chief He was not at home, and was invited by a certain congressman to Beijing last night to prepare a draft treaty for North-South reunification for Congress. As soon as Zhu Mingan heard it, he knew that Mrs. Fifth was lying, and said angrily: "Don't lie to me, he talked to me on the phone last night!" Mrs. Fifth said unhurriedly: "Yes, the old man left not long after talking with you on the phone. The congressman dragged him, and it was an appointment in advance, and the ticket for the first-class train was also brought. Ming An, don’t be angry, think about it, the reunification of the north and the south is such a big deal, can an old man who cares about the country and the people push it away?”

Zhu Mingan was trembling with anger: "Then...then he doesn't care about 'New Far East'?" Mrs. Fifth said: "How can I ignore it? The old man left a message before leaving, and I want me to tell you: First, announce to the society that in the name of reason, the stock trading of the 'New Far East' stock exchange will be suspended for three days, wait and see. The change; second, as a creditor, he participated in the property liquidation auction of Hu Quanzhen Tengda Day and Night Bank, and strived to reduce the loss of the firm; third, he will not stand idly by, and there will always be a solution for the rest when he comes back.”

It's all bullshit!Zhu Mingan put down the phone angrily. Then I hung up the phone and went to the office of "Hua Guang Bao" to look for Sun Yaxian, but Sun Yaxian was still nowhere to be found. The person who answered the phone said that Sun Yaxian had fled with someone who was in business.They also stole more than 200,000 yuan in cash from Dafa Bank, and are currently being arrested. Dafa has sent an announcement, declaring that anyone who provides information to make them captured will be rewarded with 3,000 yuan in Yinyang. The person who answered the phone probably wanted to earn the 3000 reward money, so he kept asking him: Who are you?Are you familiar with Sun Yaxian?Does Sun Ya owe you money first?

Without saying a word, Zhu Mingan crushed the phone to death. Only then did he think of running away—since Mr. He and Sun Yaxian all escaped, why didn't he escape?If he escapes now, he might be able to catch up with Yu Wanzhen at the station and catch up with the Blue Steel Express.After boarding the Blue Steel Express, this trend has nothing to do with him, and everything is over. This thought made him very excited, and he wanted to keep his face, but he couldn't hide the expression on his face, his forehead felt cold, he felt trembling, and his legs felt weak. After stumbling, he found two clothes to wear in the room where he lived earlier, and then hurried upstairs to pack other things he needed.

After everything was ready, they went downstairs and saw Mama Liu coming over with hot coffee and eggs. Liu Ma asked in surprise, "Young master is leaving too?" Zhu Ming'an said impatiently: "Don't worry about it!" Mama Liu was stunned for a while, then sighed and said, "Even if we have to leave, we still have to eat!" Zhu Mingan didn't sleep all night and was already hungry. He nodded and sat down on the sofa facing a row of French windows. He drank a few sips of coffee and ate fried eggs. When I was eating, my eye circles were red, and I couldn’t help but feel parted. I thought that the first time I came back to the mansion at the age of 14, it was the aunt I met in this big living room-my aunt was admiring the flowers in the rose bushes outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. , saw him, stepped across the large open window, walked up to him, put his arms around him, and sent a mixed scent of roses and French perfume into his nostrils.

The starting point of Dongdu Fusang is also in this big living room. It was a night, and he didn't want to leave. At the last moment, he still dreamed that his aunt would change her mind.My aunt forced him away, and he cried, and my aunt cried too, not daring to let him see.And this time he came back—he was here again in the name of a man, wooing his aunt, and it finally came true. Therefore, he had the happiest time in his life, and his dream was like a wonderful time... It was only then that Zhu Ming'an realized that this small building had become a part of his and Yu Wanzhen's lives, no matter whether he could come back in the future, or wherever he went in the future, he and Yu Wanzhen would never forget it. Thinking of this, I was suddenly startled: won't he and Yu Wanzhen come back from now on? The deficit of 5 million has become a fact, if he runs away now, will those creditors auction this small building?And if this small building is really going to be auctioned, Yu Wan is really miserable! To him, Zhu Mingan, this small building was just a huge token of love, but to Wanzhen, it was the price she sold to Governor Zheng for 7 years! ——That is the price of youth that drips water at the pinch! The determination to leave has been shaken, he has to be worthy of Yu Wanzhen no matter what, he can't ruin Yu Wanzhen's last shelter again!He is a big man, one person does things and one person is in charge. Instead of leaving, he has to live in the exchange from today, cutting himself off from this small building. Being torn apart by others, he didn't dare to implicate Yu Wanzhen anymore... However, the idea of ​​bravery was finally extinguished. After breakfast, I lit a cigar and smoked a couple of puffs, and decided to leave——Yu Wanzhen said that money is something outside of the body. It's the same with this small building, it is not brought with you when you are born, and you will not be taken away when you die.Besides, maybe it would be better if he left, the blame is all on him, and no one would think of coming to Zheng's mansion to make up his mind... Unexpectedly, Zhu Mingan snuffed out the cigar in his hand, and when he was about to get up to go out, Liu Ma came over to clean up the dishes, looked at Zhu Mingan with a strange expression, and asked timidly again: "Young...Young Master, do you really want to leave?" Zhu Ming'an nodded: "There is really no other way, my aunt and I have to go out and hide for a while, always... always come back, you just guard the door for us..." Liu's mother asked again: "You...you leave like this, what will the 'New Far East' exchange do? There are so many stocks issued..." Zhu Ming'an smiled wryly: "Mother Liu, don't ask, this matter has nothing to do with you—"New Far East" is over, and the stocks have become waste paper..." Mama Liu was startled, and the dishes in her hand fell to the ground and shattered, and then, she covered her face and cried out loudly. Zhu Ming'an was annoyed, and said angrily, "Why are you crying? This is my aunt and I's business, not yours..." But Mama Liu raised her face full of tears and said, "Young master, you...you said it so easily! Why is this not my business? How do you know, I... I spent all the 230 yuan I have accumulated in the past ten years. ...I took them all out and bought your 'New Far East' stock, yes...it was bought at 23 yuan a share, a total of 10 shares..." Zhu Ming'an was stunned, staring blankly at the honest Liu Ma, not knowing what to say. Mama Liu wiped her tears again with her sleeves and said, "Mama Zhao from Zhiyuan, Aunt Wang from the Qin Mansion, and... many people also believed me, and all... all bought the shares of 'New Far East', You... If you leave like this today, what will we, the servants who bought your stocks, do..." Zhu Ming'an felt even more ashamed, and his heart trembled.He never thought that the "New Far East" made him and Yu Wanzhen bankrupt, and also caused so many poor servants to suffer along with them.He also thought that when he came to the mansion at the age of 14, it was Liu Ma who took care of him, his eyes were red, and then he lit up the extinguished cigar and smoked it. Smoking on a cigarette and thinking about it for a while, Zhu Mingan took out 230 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Mama Liu, "Mama Liu, this... This kind of stock speculation is not done by servants like you, you take the money Go, don't do this again in the future!" Liu Ma accepted the money happily, but then asked: "Master, don't you want to leave? Do you have enough money with you?" Zhu Mingan said, "Leave me alone." How can Mama Liu ignore it?After thinking about it, he returned the money to Zhu Ming'an: "Master, you can take it with you on the road first! Now that you're gone, I still... don't know when you'll be back..." After speaking, he pushed Zhu Ming'an to leave quickly with tears in his eyes. Unexpectedly, it was too late. As soon as Mama Liu finished speaking, the doorbell rang. An employee of the "New Far East" exchange came to the door with two foreign patrolmen from the patrol room, and asked Zhu Ming'an to go to the exchange immediately. Chaos in front of the Exchange.Therefore, Zhu Ming'an's escape failed before it even started.
