PFC Chapter 248 Xu Youwei is so angry about his illegitimate son that things get chaotic.
Chapter 248 Xu Youwei is so angry about his illegitimate son that things get chaotic.
After acknowledging Zhou Hao as his illegitimate son, Xu Youwei has no peace of mind.
Zhou Hao would bring him different "surprises" every day.
such as.
"Sir, the young master beat up young master Liu Jia severely on the cruise ship."
"Sir, the young master flirted with Miss Yan at the banquet today. The Yan family is currently sitting in our living room, waiting for an explanation."
Xu Youwei lost his temper several times, and the wound from the amputation of half of his leg repeatedly reopened, and it has not yet healed.
Originally, the prosthesis was supposed to be installed in three months, but it has been delayed again and again.
Xu Youwei wakes up every morning with a fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead, unable to get a good night's sleep.
This morning, the assistant arrived shortly after Xu Youwei had just gotten up.
Xu Youwei knew without a doubt that Zhou Hao had brought him another "surprise".
However, Xu Youwei was no longer surprised by ordinary trivial matters.
Xu Youwei asked, "Speak, what is it now?"
"Sir, last night the young master took a minor celebrity to a jewelry store under the Xu Group and gave her jewelry worth 30 million yuan in one go."
"what?"
Xu Youwei slammed his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Shen Wancheng's betrothal gifts were worth 1 billion; even the wedding ring Gu Jinxing gave her was worth 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
Therefore, people felt that prices were high and the Hong Kong dollar was worthless.
That's not true at all.
To reiterate, the average salary for ordinary people on Hong Kong Island is only HK$2000. You can buy a house for HK$200,000 to HK$300,000. Last time, Shen Wancheng bought five 1,000-square-foot luxury apartments in Central, but it didn't cost her more than HK$10 million.
None of the women in the Xu family possessed jewelry worth thirty million.
That was the store Zhou Hao went to; all the jewelry there was probably worth only HK$100 million.
Zhou Hao simply gave away one-third of it.
Xu Youwei's temples throbbed after hearing this.
Xu Youwei asked, "Where is the store manager? Can a store manager just handle such high-value jewelry as he pleases? If Zhou Hao told him to take it out and give it away, would he dare to do so?"
Even though Zhou Hao greatly angered Xu Youwei, he still couldn't bear to blame his son, who was his only son.
So he placed all the blame on the store manager.
The assistant kept his head down the whole time, not daring to look at the furious Xu Youwei.
"Are you mute? I'm asking you a question."
Xu Youwei did not hear his assistant's response and repeatedly scolded and questioned him.
The assistant still didn't dare to look up, and said with his head down.
“The jewelry store manager absconded with the money overnight. I sent people to his house this morning, and then chased him to the pier. When we questioned the pier staff, they said that the jewelry store manager had already smuggled himself out of the port last night.”
Say it again!
"The jewelry store manager smuggled himself out of the port overnight."
Xu Youwei felt his vision go black.
He had to catch his breath several times before he could catch his breath.
"He embezzled money? What money did he embezzle?"
"Cash in the jewelry store, and most of the valuable jewelry that can be carried around."
This is the first time something like this has happened since Xu Youwei took over the management of the Xu family business.
"Are the alarms in the store just for show? Aren't no one allowed to unlock the doors at night? How was he able to escape with valuable jewelry?"
The assistant, with his eyes downcast, continued, "Because the young master bought too much jewelry in the store yesterday, the manager said he would personally carry all the jewelry, and that's how he got away with it."
“…”
So the final problem still lies with Zhou Hao.
Xu Youwei took a deep breath and continued to ask.
"How much were the stolen jewels worth?"
"The selling price is nearly 2 million, while the cost price is 4 million."
Therefore, if calculated based on the selling price, Zhou Hao caused the jewelry store to lose more than 200 million yuan in just one day.
"What kind of jewelry store is this, where the entire store isn't even worth 2 million?"
"The jewelry store under Mr. Xu's name in Central is a subsidiary managed by Mr. Xu, and the main profits come from this jewelry store."
"Then how was Zhou Hao able to send jewelry from there!?"
Xu Youwei immediately realized what was going on after asking that question.
The second child did this on purpose!
They deliberately let Zhou Hao cause such a huge mess!
Otherwise, how could a manager so easily abscond with the money!
Who knows, this manager might have died at sea! All these jewels might have ended up in the hands of a second-hand dealer!
Very well, Xu Youcai! His good brother! He's dug such a huge pit for his son!
Xu Youwei knew in his heart that he only had two choices now.
One reason was that he ignored his son and allowed his second son to escalate the matter, causing Zhou Hao, who had just been recognized as a member of the clan, to be expelled from the family.
The second thing is to quickly patch up this huge hole ourselves.
If the store were under his name, Xu Youwei might really think that Zhou Hao was hopeless and give up on him completely.
But now that he knows Xu Youcai is also involved, Xu Youwei seems to have already found a reason for Zhou Hao in his mind.
Zhou Hao can still be saved. This was a trap deliberately set by Xu Youcai, which led him to make such a big mistake.
Since Xu Youwei thought this way, he would naturally choose to patch up the huge hole himself.
However, asking Xu Youwei to directly hand over more than 200 million yuan of his personal assets would be too painful.
For a moment, Xu Youwei was overwhelmed with thoughts, and his expression was unpredictable.
The assistant waited quietly to the side, not daring to say a word.
In the end, Xu Youwei still couldn't bear to spend his own money.
"Two hundred million worth of jewelry was transferred to that jewelry store, and the revenue shortfall in the jewelry store was covered by the company's accounts."
When Xu Youwei mentioned using company accounts, he was not referring to the official salary, but rather to private accounts.
How could he not make a little more money for himself while running the Xu family business?
This wasn't the first time he'd done this. He said to use company funds, and his assistant understood what he meant.
"Okay, I'll get on it right now."
After the assistant left, the Xu family's old butler, who had been waiting outside the living room door, came in.
Xu Youwei asked, "Where's Zhou Hao? He made me lose over two hundred million in a single day. How can he sleep soundly?"
Although Xu Youwei had already come up with a reason to forgive Zhou Hao, he still needed to teach Zhou Hao a lesson so that Zhou Hao wouldn't fall into the same trap as Xu Youwei's two younger brothers in the future.
However, the old butler said weakly, "Sir, Young Master Hao didn't come home last night. He hasn't been back to the Xu family for three days."
“…”
Xu Youwei's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again!
He slammed his hand on the wheelchair armrest again.
"Tell him to get back here right now! Immediately! Right now!"
The butler said, "If we don't know where the young master is, we don't know where to call!"
Xu Youwei slammed his hand on the armrests of the wheelchair, making a loud thud. If the wheelchair hadn't been so sturdy, it might have fallen apart.
"Aren't you going to send someone to look for him? I didn't see him this morning! Get out of the Xu family."
Seeing that Xu Youwei was completely enraged, the old butler meekly agreed and quickly slipped away.
Xu Youwei was unaware that it was precisely because of his latest smuggling transaction involving a large sum of 200 million that Shen Wancheng discovered that a transaction amount in Xu's company was the same as the amount of loss they had investigated in Xu Youcai's jewelry store. This led them to follow the clues and find evidence of a large amount of embezzlement in Xu's company's private accounts.
