What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 432, 191 New Regulations
Chu Jinxiang led his team back to Haiyan with swift and decisive action.

Or, to be more precise, it was Zhang Yangxu and his team that acted swiftly and decisively. In addition to a professional auditing team, Zhang Yangxu, as Yu Xing's secretary, also kept a lot of people's phone numbers, which came in handy at this time.

According to the phone call Yu Xing received from his mother that evening, "Something happened at your uncle's fruit shop. They said a group of people came and ransacked the place!"

Chu Qiying sounded slightly anxious on the phone. She had been receiving calls since evening, but the jumbled narrations and sobs left her completely bewildered.

"Oh, it's nothing, Mom. I'll have someone check the accounts," Yu Xing said with a smile. "My uncle's business isn't a fruit shop; it's a legitimate company. The investors aren't satisfied with their operations and think there are some problems with their procurement."

Chu Qiying asked in surprise, "Isn't it you who provided the investment?"

Yu Xing admitted, "Yes, you could say that I'm not satisfied. I think it's more formal to say 'investor'."

"You..." Chu Qiying listened to his son's teasing tone and felt that this matter was quite serious. "How big of a problem could it be? These are all relatives."

Yu Xing sighed: "Mom, you see, these kinds of things are so complicated. When relatives do business together, is it about expanding the company or just pocketing the money? This uncle, that brother, and nieces and nephews, I'm busy with all of this, but my uncle is having a hard time managing this whole thing."

He paused, then said, "We'll only know how big the problem is after we see the accounts, but since we've already investigated, we should at least put the people in jail for a few days. That way, everyone can see the truth."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qiying hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

After a moment, she sighed and said, "Okay, it's just that it's easy to sound bad."

Chu Qiying knew what kind of gossips relatives could have, and who knew what they would say behind her back after this incident. But after thinking it over, she realized that she had finally made a real effort to build up the fruit chain company, so a moment of pain was better than a lifetime of pain.

Yu Xing calmly said, "People's words are the most fickle. One moment they're unpleasant, the next they're pleasant. If we lay things out on the table, it'll be clear who's right and who's wrong. At most, they'll say I'm heartless."

"Alright, then we'll listen to the investors." Chu Qiying felt a strange sense of comfort in his heart as he sensed his son's attitude.

Family ties couldn't sway the investors, so the audit proceeded as planned. Plus, with Zhang Yangxu and his men intimidating them, the not-so-complicated matter was quickly clarified.

The purchasing department... if you're good to someone, you can send them to purchasing; if you're bad to someone, you can send them to purchasing.

On December 3, Yu Xing met with his secretary who had returned from Haiyan. He saw a brief report on the operation and noticed many familiar names on it.

After reading it twice, he asked, "How is it? Did anyone curse at me?"

Zhang Yangxu shook his head: "President Yu, no."

He hesitated for a moment: "They're all insults, um, insults against your uncle."

Yu Xing laughed and asked again, "What did my uncle say?"

“He said that those with problems should be dismissed, those without problems should be reassigned, and then new people should be recruited,” Zhang Yangxu said. “Those who return the stolen goods and money can settle amicably, otherwise they will be handed over to the authorities.”

Yu Xing was a little surprised: "He's quite decisive."

Zhang Yangxu said somewhat embarrassedly, "President Chu asked me, and then he himself felt that the situation had come to this point, and if he didn't put on a stern face this time, the company might go bankrupt next time."

It's already difficult to manage relationships with relatives, so it's best to make the rules clear now. Otherwise, if things are let off the hook this time, they'll only get worse in the future.

Yu Xing nodded slightly. The amount of money involved was over a million, but when it was distributed to specific individuals, it was handled in this way.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "I still have to help my uncle. Just talking isn't enough. Let my distant cousin, who got the most money, go in and calm down for a few days."

Zhang Yangxu did not express any opinion, nor did he want to get involved in the affairs between his boss and relatives. He just wanted to carry out the instructions well.

Seeing that Mr. Yu had no further instructions, he turned and left the office to make a phone call. According to legal practice, in such cases, actively returning the stolen goods and money could exempt one from criminal punishment. Two days later, Chu Jinxiang returned to Lingang, looking disheveled and dejected compared to before.

Yu Xing had barely exchanged a few words when he received another pleading call from an elder.

He put the phone on speakerphone and said with difficulty, "Oh dear, my uncle insists on doing it this way. I tried to persuade him but couldn't. I said it's just a little money, I'll help fill it out, but my uncle insists it's not about the money. I even had a fight with him, but it still didn't work!"

Hearing such a distortion of the truth, Chu Jinxiang covered his face, feeling a sharp pain in his spine.

He waited until his nephew hung up the phone, then sighed sadly, "My second aunt is practically standing at my door and yelling at me."

“Uncle, you’re right, what are you afraid of?” Yu Xing laughed. “She’s just being unreasonable, so you can…”

He wanted to yell back, but then he thought that it wouldn't be realistic given his uncle's personality, so he could only say, "If she won't reason with you, then you reason with her with the law. It's that simple."

Chu Jinxiang gave a wry smile: "If it's that simple, why didn't you step in?"

Yu Xing said naturally, "I don't want to be scolded by my relatives."

Chu Jinxiang: "..."

He lit a cigarette, and his awareness kicked in: "Someone has to be scolded eventually, so I'll do it. Since I've already been scolded, I might as well establish the new rules thoroughly."

Yu Xing smiled. That's right.

“Your mom told me that she’s leaving the school after teaching this class of students.” Chu Jinxiang said while smoking. “I think this is a good thing. You’re so busy every day, and you can’t see her unless you go back to Haiyan. But going back would really cause a delay. She’s retiring from the school early, so she can enjoy her retirement.”

Yu Xing hummed in agreement. He had been making a lot of noise these past few days, which probably contributed to his mother's initial hesitation.

He said, "Haiyan is actually quite good. It's close to Lingang, so you can go back anytime you want. This time, learn from your mistakes. Mr. Chu, keep it up."

Chu Jinxiang found it amusing to hear his nephew address him that way, but when he saw Zhang Yangxu carrying documents hurrying in, he immediately realized that Xingxing now mostly used the title of "General Manager Yu".

He silently stubbed out his cigarette, then suddenly noticed Yu Xing's serious expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Yu Xing didn't answer immediately. After turning on his computer, he said, "There's a new rule coming out, um, a new rule that's caused a lot of margin calls."

On December 5th, Huaxia issued a notice explicitly prohibiting financial institutions from participating in BTC trading. As a result, the price of BTC plummeted from a high of $1147, a drop so severe that Liu Jiankai, who intended to enter the trading platform, turned pale.

"Are you still doing this?" Yu Xing asked Liu Jiankai, who had come in a panic. "If you can't, then stop. I won't treat you badly."

Liu Jiankai said with difficulty, "President Yu, let's do it! As long as I don't die, I'll do it to the death!"

Three seconds later, he clutched his head and pleaded for help: "Mr. Yu, could you lend me some money? I can't access the money at home, I... I've been wiped out."

Yu Xing: "..."

He cut off his own flesh to show his resolve; he wanted to achieve Liu's goal, but he was first cut off by others.

But he couldn't help but comment, "Liu Ge, you look so pathetic, like a dog."

Liu Jiankai wasn't angry at all, feeling that it was an extremely objective evaluation.

He paused for a few seconds, then said, "Mr. Yu, you're so easy to scold..."
