The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 160 There Can Only Be One Man Behind the Scenes

Xie Meilan failed to abort the baby this time.

No matter what, since Shen Lei has rushed here, there is no way he would agree to let his wife have an abortion.

Of course, they also had a big quarrel in the house, mainly because of his question "Whose child is it?" which made Xie Meilan a little angry.

Although she now knows that her boss is interested in her, she is also somewhat tempted by his money.

But as she said when she was controlling Lu Jie in the original drama - "As long as my current situation does not change, I won't do anything out of line."

So now that Shen Lei is questioning whether the baby in her belly is his, it is not only slandering her character, but also insulting her IQ.

So Shen Lei got a slap in the face, but got an answer that made him very happy: the child was his.

Most of the so-called quarrels that followed were caused by Xie Meilan and Shen Lei defending herself.

In the original drama, the two of them quarreled because Xie Meilan had already aborted the child. Now that Xie Meilan has not aborted the child, and she is pregnant, Shen Lei certainly does not dare to quarrel with her.

However, when he heard his wife scolding him, bringing up old issues, and blaming him for not being able to provide the conditions for raising a child, the eyes of this naive boy still became red.

Originally, Shen Lei could have questioned the other party a few times why she didn't tell him about the pregnancy and wanted to abort the child, but in the end, he could only take the scolding unilaterally.

In the end, it was only after Shen Lei swore an oath that he would work hard to make progress in the future that the dispute was gradually settled.

Xie Meilan finally agreed to change tomorrow's abortion to a prenatal check-up after being persuaded by Shen Lei and then Shen Lin, who acted as a peacemaker.

Afterwards, except for Shen Lei who stayed with her, everyone else went back home.

……

In Na Wei's car, Shen Lin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, first talked to him about what had just happened, and finally spoke first with some hesitation:
"Honey, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"You said."

Na Wei, who was driving, didn't pay much attention. He was still thinking about what reason he could use to transfer 800,000 yuan.

Shen Lin turned her head and looked at her husband, then coughed lightly and said:
"Husband, you saw the conflict between Leilei and Meilan just now. This afternoon, Leilei came to me and said he wanted to find a better cemetery for Meilan's mother to mend their relationship. I thought a fund would expire this month, so we should help him."

"squeak!"

Na Wei subconsciously shook his foot and stepped on the brakes. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and the car only paused for a moment before moving smoothly again.

Shen Lin was startled by this: "What are you doing?"

"No, I was mistaken. I just mistook a shadow for a person."

Na Weiqiang answered calmly, and now he was in an even worse mood. He had been thinking of finding a reason to transfer 800,000 yuan to pay off his debt!
Shen Lin calmed herself down and guessed that her husband might have been shocked by what she said.

Then she continued, "Well, husband, do you agree with what I just said about helping Lei Lei?"

"He borrowed it from you?"

"Yeah." Shen Lin nodded, and then continued: "You also know that Leilei is particularly reluctant to trouble others, so since he can ask me as his sister today, I must help him, right? And you just saw that Meilan is pregnant. If Leilei can't handle this matter well, it will have a serious impact on him and Meilan."

"..."

Na Wei didn't say anything for a moment. Now that things had come to this, what reason did he have to refuse?

Does that mean I also need to take 800,000 yuan now?
As long as Shen Lin asked about the situation, the fact that he was defrauded of 800,000 yuan by borrowing his ID card would definitely be exposed, and there might even be a big conflict between them.

Moreover, once the 800,000 yuan is invested, it is estimated that it can not be recovered, which is different from the money lent to Shen Lei.

So when Shen Lin asked for his opinion again, he could only nod helplessly.

After returning home, he blocked Zhao Pengju’s WeChat and phone number.

……

Two days later at noon, Na Jun received a call from his brother as expected. The other party came to the vicinity of his company and asked him to have lunch.

I know that my elder brother is really out of options, so he comes to his younger brother to borrow money.

In the noodle shop.

Na Wei did not hide anything and directly told everyone about the troubles he had been having these days.

It started from when Zhao Pengju came to him, including when he was involved in the vortex between Wang Ruizhi and the mistress, and the debt collection he had suffered in the past few days.

Although Na Wei's face looked calm and his tone of voice was relaxed, Na Jun knew that he was under a lot of pressure.

After Na Wei blocked Zhao Pengju the night before yesterday, Zhao Pengju sneaked into the company yesterday. Fortunately, Na Wei discovered it in time and hurriedly brought him into the office and added him on WeChat again, and only then did Zhao Pengju leave.

As a result, yesterday at noon, Zhao Pengju took the spray can and wanted to spray words on Na Wei's BMW. He hurriedly took Jiang Shan over to stop him, but was almost discovered by Qin Lingling who was passing by.

At that time, Zhao Pengju mistakenly thought that he was taking private work outside and was afraid of being discovered by the company, so he threatened to go to Qin Lingling to complain.

Na Wei was so angry that he threatened that he could sue him, but he would not get a penny if he was fired. This scared Zhao Pengju away.

It is worth mentioning that when Meicancan Trading was first founded by Wang Ruizhi, it was a subsidiary of Everyday Beauty Group. The business was overlapping and the supply chain was also that of Everyday Beauty. That’s why the supplier Zhao Pengju thought that this was a private job taken by the legal person Na Wei behind the company’s back.

……

"Eight hundred thousand?!"

Na Jun cooperated very well and reproduced the original play one-to-one, raising his voice, widening his eyes, and then pretending to be disappointed in his friend:

"That's not what you were thinking. How could you lend your ID card to someone else?"

"How dare you refuse to give your boss your ID card when he asks you for it?" Na Wei felt a little regretful, but he reluctantly refuted.

Na Jun was speechless and said, "I'm sorry, our company is a legitimate listed company and we won't do such an irregular thing!"

"The listing was later. Before the listing, it was a bit irregular. If Lao Wang hadn't left, our company would have been listed now."

"Come on, your family business had a hard time raising A round financing before, and now Wang Ruizhi has become a monk, and it has failed directly."

"..."

Na Wei was choked for a moment, and then changed the subject: "Although my eldest brother has become a monk, the company is currently supported by Qin Lingling, and it is still running well."

"Really?" Na Jun sneered, "I don't believe that someone like Qin Lingling didn't make drastic changes to the company. As for whether it's good or not, you know it yourself."

"..."

Na Wei's sore spot was hit again, and the Qin brothers and sisters have been making trouble in various ways during this period.

That Qin Feng, who knew nothing at all, was appointed as the general manager, and he also launched an OKR assessment system. Do he and Qin Lingling understand OKR?
People are busy saying that many large companies are now using the OKR assessment system without considering the actual situation. Is this applicable to the Daily Beauty Group?
Na Jun looked at his brother and guessed what he was thinking.

The OKR system is implemented from the management level downwards. It would be strange if I wasn't disgusted by it. Compared with OKR, KPI can be considered a blessing for workers.

OKR is a thing that good companies can use better, but it will accelerate the bankruptcy of bad companies.

After slurping two mouthfuls of noodles, Na Wei spoke directly, "In short, there are three options before me now. One is that I pay it back myself, then your sister-in-law will know immediately, and our family will be turned upside down. The second is that I don't pay it back, and he will sue me. Then there is a high probability that I will lose, the company will know, I will lose my job, and our family will still be turned upside down, so I will choose the third option..."

"what?"

"I'm borrowing it from you."

Na Jun was not surprised, as this was already expected by him.

After taking two mouthfuls of noodles, he said, "No problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Na Jun saw the wrinkles on his brother's face and he was about to laugh. He added the last two words: "But..."

"..."

Na Wei retracted his smile and asked in confusion: "But what?"

Na Jun said slowly: "But do you think you can solve the problem even if you have 800,000 yuan?"

"What do you mean?"

Na Wei frowned and asked in confusion.

Looking at his brother's silly look, Na Jun shook his head and sighed. Although Na Wei has been working in the workplace for so many years, Na Jun has to admit that it would be best for this brother to sell braised food honestly and earn some solid money.

"I'm asking you a question. What do you mean by that?"

Seeing his younger brother looking at him as if he were a fool, Na Wei immediately felt unhappy.

After drinking some soup to moisten his throat, Na Jun asked back, "Let me ask you, why did you take this 800,000?"

"Pay back the money! What for?"

"Let's not talk about the fact that you shouldn't have paid back the 800,000 yuan in the first place. Let me first tell you how you know that everything will be fine after you pay it back."

"Zhao Pengju has even come to the company. If I don't pay you back, he will tell everyone about this. I will lose my job, and your sister-in-law will also know about this. Our family will be ruined."

"Okay, you think you can get rid of the disaster by spending money, but how do you know that the company won't know about it if you pay the money back? You have to know that you have been led by others in this matter. It's just like kidnapping. After paying the ransom, it's up to them whether to tear up the body or not."

"This..." Na Wei was speechless, but after a pause he immediately retorted: "How dare Zhao Pengju, I have already paid back the money and he still dared to tell others, I, I will fight him to the death!"

Seeing that his brother was getting more and more anxious and his lips were trembling, Na Jun sighed again and changed the topic:

"Also, even if Zhao Pengju took the money and didn't expose you, is this really just a conflict between the two of you? Don't forget, you also said that Zhao Pengju wasn't the only supplier that Mei Cancan hadn't paid. What if someone else comes to collect the debt? Secondly, your Mei Cancan is a subsidiary of the Mei Tian Tian Mei Industry Group. It was fine that Wang Ruizhi kept it a secret in the past, but now that Qin Lingling is in power, she will definitely check the current situation of the group first. How long can Mei Cancan keep it a secret? It will explode sooner or later, and then you will also be dealt with."

This is not Na Jun exaggerating. In the original drama, when the brother was about to be fired by Qin Lingling, Qin Lingling was willing to give him 500,000 yuan in compensation in a good mood. But the next day, Qin Lingling changed her mind and said that she knew about the affair between Na Wei and Mei Cancan, and wanted to fire him directly and would not give him a penny.

When watching the original drama, many people thought that it was Na Wei's old friend Jiang Shan who backstabbed Na Wei and reported him to Qin Lingling. After all, Na Wei was the only one who told Jiang Shan about the debt collection in the company. But Na Jun thought it was unlikely after watching it. Na Wei and Jiang Shan both joined the company when it was first established. Although they could not be considered close friends after more than ten years of friendship in the workplace, it was obvious that there was no benefit for Jiang Shan to point out Na Wei.

At that time, both of them were in a bad situation in the company and their salaries were cut in half. However, the company first talked to Na Wei and asked him to either take the 500,000 yuan and leave, or take a pay cut and be demoted to work under a manager he had recruited in the past.

Na Wei is the company's vice president and concurrently serves as the marketing director. His business actually partially overlaps with that of the advertising department. In addition, he is old, and if the company downsizes, the marketing department will indeed be laid off. He does not have any core competitiveness. Jiang Shan is the vice president but is in charge of sales. He has the customer resources in his hands, so it is not easy for the company to touch him.

So Na Wei left, and Jiang Shan's choice to cut half of his income and stay was not considered a betrayal. As for the speculation that he stabbed Na Wei in the back in exchange for his staying, it was nonsense.

In Na Jun's opinion, Jiang Shan is already old. Although he keeps complaining about the company being rubbish, he refuses to resign. This behavior is very normal in the workplace. It's like the person who does well in the exam but says that he didn't do well, who criticizes the company every day but has full attendance every month.

It's all for a living. You can say he is cheap, but you can't say he is bad.

Therefore, Na Jun speculated that the reason why Qin Lingling knew about Na Wei and Mei Cancan was more likely that she found out about it herself.

When Na Wei knew that the company was going to give him $500,000 to get rid of him, he clearly stated that he would not sign. Qin Lingling, not knowing that Na Wei would change his mind the next day, naturally asked someone to investigate Na Wei in detail.

Well, is it difficult to investigate the fact that Wei is the legal person in charge of Meicancan Company?
To put it simply, you can find this information on Qichacha with just a few clicks, not to mention such a big matter involving a subsidiary of the group. Without the cover-up by Wang Ruizhi and Liu Yan, it is normal for the new financial director of the group to find out about this matter after such a long time.

Not to mention that Wang Ruizhi and Liu Yan also knew about this, as well as those beautiful suppliers. It is even possible that Zhao Pengju, who was beaten up, holds a grudge. Anyone can expose Na Wei's affair with just a text message or a phone call.

So, in Na Jun's eyes, it was a joke for his brother to just return the 800,000 yuan to buy peace of mind.

After listening to his younger brother's analysis, Na Wei stopped stirring the noodles in the bowl with his chopsticks, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Yes, he had been under too much pressure from Zhao Pengju during this period of time and had not thought about it so much. Now that his younger brother pointed it out, he realized that the landmine he had stepped on was so huge!

The question now is not whether this mine can be defused or not, but that this mine will definitely explode, it is just a matter of whether it will explode instantly or with a delay.

But he, an innocent passerby, had already stepped on it. No, it was the thunder that turned into a bomb and was tied to him and welded into his body.

Na Wei's hands began to tremble, and he muttered to himself: "This, this, isn't this causing me so much trouble, brother? No, I have to go into the mountains to find my brother, he must help me solve this problem!"

"..."

Na Jun didn't expect that his brother was still so naive at this time, so he complained:

"Come on, Wang Ruizhi is clearly trying to trick you."

"Why? I have been loyal to him for so many years. I have followed him since the company was founded. Many headhunters have approached me, but I have never betrayed my big brother! We...we have had a brotherhood for so many years!"

Seeing his brother's faith collapse, Na Jun said with a smile:
"Brother, is that the lucky charm on your neck?"

"What do you mean?" Na Wei originally had a sad face, and this made him confused again.

Na Jun shook his head and didn't explain the joke to him, but sighed:
"In this world, workers like you who are on good terms with their bosses are hoping to eat meat and drink soup with their bosses. When your boss is on good terms with you, he wants you to be a nuclear-powered donkey."

Having said this, he paused and said directly:
"To put it bluntly, Wang Ruizhi wants to take the blame on you because he thinks you're honest."

"..."

Na Wei suddenly fell silent and his defense was broken. He lowered his head and stared at the noodles in the bowl without moving for a long time.

Looking at his brother like this, Na Jun didn't know if he had said something too harsh, which suddenly tore away the filter he had for Wang Ruizhi, making it a little hard for him to accept.

He didn't say anything after that, just ate his noodles silently. When he was almost done with the noodles, Na Wei spoke dejectedly:
"Juanjuan, what do you think I should do now? Should I pay back the 800,000 yuan?"

"Now it's not a question of whether you should pay it back or not, it's that you should plan for your retreat."

"Escape? What do you mean?"

"Qin Lingling will find out about this sooner or later, and you will definitely be fired then. What will you do then?"

"This, Qin Lingling..."

Na Wei was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to shrink his head and refuse to admit that such a thing would happen, but...

He had thought about this problem, but just as Na Jun expected, at his age, with a wife, children and a mortgage, the consequences of losing his current job would be serious!

Na Jun didn't want to attack his brother right now, but unfortunately this was something the other party had to face.

The unemployment crisis in middle age is an inevitable problem.

Seeing the confusion in the elder brother's eyes, perhaps he did not expect that he came here originally to borrow money from his younger brother to fill the hole, but he found out that this hole was not something he could fill at all.

So Na Jun hesitated for a moment and spoke again: "Anyway, you should make plans for this matter early, including your sister-in-law. I suggest you tell her as soon as possible. It will be better for her to blow it up sooner."

My sister-in-law Shen Lin is not destined to be a rich lady. She has always wanted to find a job but is too embarrassed to do so. She wants to act like a rich lady but fails to do so at class reunions. It would be better for her to recognize herself better as soon as possible.

"If your sister-in-law knew about this, she would definitely have a big quarrel with me." Na Wei subconsciously wanted to reject this proposal. They were living a good life, but what would he do if his wife suddenly heard this bolt from the blue?

"If you knew earlier, you could have made plans earlier. Didn't you say the night before last that you and your sister-in-law often quarreled but it didn't affect your relationship?"

"Could this be the same thing?"

Na Wei covered his head and said in pain that he wanted to borrow money because he was afraid that his wife would find out.

But now it seems that this matter will affect the family sooner or later, and my wife has to know it in advance.

Looking at his brother's expression, Na Jun smiled and said, "In addition to informing your sister-in-law about this matter, you have to make other preparations."

"Can you please stop panting when you speak? If you have something to say, please say it quickly. My head hurts now!"

Hearing what his brother said, Jun Xiaoxiao didn't care and said directly:
"You still have to check Zhao Pengju and Meicancan Company. I think you are the same. When they came to your door and asked you to pay back the money, you were so stupid as to go and raise money. You didn't even check the situation. Do you think you can't escape knowing that you are the legal person? If you can't argue or hide from debts, how can you be a CEO?"

As we all know, the necessary qualities for being a boss are: quibbling, dodging debts, avoiding taxes, shirking responsibilities, transferring assets, etc.

Although it sounds shameless, the words are true.

Na Wei did not have any of these necessary qualities. In the original drama, he did not investigate and was forced to pay back the money by Zhao Pengju.

Later, when he started his own business, he was too soft-hearted and was often owed money or played tricks on by others. In this respect, he is not as good as Li Xiaoyue, who usually looks like a Buddhist.

So it was normal for him to fail in his business venture, and afterwards he could only set up a stall and sell braised food.

After hearing what his younger brother said, Na Wei felt that he had indeed been too soft in his previous performance. Wang Ruizhi bullied him, Qin Lingling threatened him, and now Zhao Pengju also came to bully him. Does an honest man deserve to be bullied?

He regained some of his manliness and asked again, "Then how do I investigate this matter?"

Na Jun knocked the table twice with his chopsticks before speaking: "Didn't you say that Mei Cancan is affiliated with your company? And Xu Yichao's channel was also intercepted from your company. Just follow up and investigate. There is one more thing. This Zhao Pengju is forcing you to pay back the money like a mad dog. I guess things are not as simple as he said. Maybe he has some hidden secrets!"

Nowadays, those who owe money are the boss. It would be fine if Zhao Pengju was penniless and had to go to debt collection with bare legs.

He happens to be a small boss, how dare he be so arrogant?
He blocked his brother's company and home, and even dared to follow his brother's daughter. Did he really think he was so brave?
Haven’t you heard of “malicious wage demands”?

Judging from his behavior, it was obvious that he had frightened Na Wei first, and then he kept pressing forward when he saw that the other party was easy to control.

Moreover, Na Jun remembered that at the end of the original drama, when Wang Ruizhi was forced to the door by Na Wei, he said that when Xu Yichao was running Meicancan, there was a problem with the goods supplied by Zhao Pengju. He wanted to return the goods and refused to pay, but Zhao Pengju refused. As a result, the situation was deadlocked. In the end, Zhao Pengju found another way to find Na Wei and took the money from Na Wei.

Regardless of whether Wang Ruizhi, the old fox, lied in a hurry at that time, it is certain that Zhao Pengju's behavior now shows that he is indeed very anxious.

Moreover, Xu Yichao probably didn’t really disappear. After all, he was still helping Wang Ruizhi contact dealers at the end!

Thinking of this, Na Jun looked at his brother who had already started to think, and continued:
"In short, brother, you can either take the 800,000 yuan from me and fill that hole, and then wait until Qin Lingling finds out and lose your job and 800,000 yuan, or you can just fight it out, find out the truth first and then force Zhao Pengju to do the same. If he's tough, you can do the same. At worst, you'll make a big fuss, but you'll lose your job sooner or later anyway."

After a pause, he added, "I can take care of you and your sister-in-law here."

What Na Jun didn't say was that after the incident became a big deal, Qin Lingling would definitely know about it, but compared to venting her anger by firing Na Wei, settling the score with Wang Ruizhi would probably be a higher priority.

It is obvious that Wang Ruizhi's becoming a monk is a secret transfer of assets, and the transfers are to Xu Yimei, the mistress. If Qin Lingling knew about this, she would probably want to eat them alive.

By that time, I wonder if Master Juekong in the mountains can still sit still. Will he have to return to secular life early?

Just a few days after entering the mountains, he was forced to return to secular life, and had to fight a fierce battle with his original wife to defend his mistress and gold, silver and other filthy things...

A monk who has committed the three sins of greed, anger, and ignorance...

Amitabha.

Na Jun is looking forward to it.

Well... actually Na Jun has another little thought, that is, as a time traveler, how can he tolerate others being the mastermind behind the Diaoyutai?

How high is Wang Ruizhi? How dare he snatch my character card!

Huang Zhenhua in the previous life, Na Jun in this life, there can only be one mastermind in the world, me!
……

On the other hand, while Na Jun was helping his brother to make the plan, Shen Lei was in trouble.

In the hospital, Xie Meilan stayed in the hospital for a few days after her prenatal check-up. She was indeed not feeling well, and Shen Lei insisted that she stay in the hospital for the sake of her and the baby in her belly.

Anyway, Xie Meilan has already taken a week's leave, so she might as well take it.

This move naturally caused Xie Meilan's dissent. Since the abortion was prevented, she didn't want to delay her work.

Unfortunately, Shen Lei was determined this time and tried his best to persuade her.

In the end, Xie Meilan decided to work from home. She is currently working in the hospital. She will go home to work after completing the observation in the hospital for the next two days.

However, what Shen Lei and Xie Meilan did not expect was that Lu Jie actually came to the hospital to visit Xie Meilan.

Especially as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Lei's face turned green.

"Meilan, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
