The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 295 The Evil "ME"

The weather forecast for today said there would be light snow. When the funeral in the church began, the sky was gloomy, and it was not until around noon that fine snowflakes began to fall.

It seemed like it was really setting the mood for the funeral.

When Jian Xi watched the movie "Tiny Times" before, he just watched it for fun and didn't take the bloody and quarrelsome plots in it seriously.

As for the bugs, I just laughed it off.

But when he really came to this world, he vaguely felt that some bugs actually had other meanings.

Just like Jian Xi was actually wondering why both the Gong family and the Ye family wanted to seize the Shenggu Group.

Previously, he thought that the Gong family wanted to acquire Shenggu because they did have a business need. "ME" was a magazine publisher, and the cost of paper was very high. Shenggu happened to have a forest farm and was in the printing business, so the two were a perfect match.

There would be no problem for the Gong family to acquire Shenggu.

But there was a bug that Jian Xi had previously treated as a joke, and now when he thought about it carefully, there seemed to be something wrong.

That is the problem of the 400 million yuan financial loophole of Shenggu Group.

Shenggu’s valuation itself was less than 600 million yuan, but a loophole of 400 million yuan was revealed later!
What’s the difference between this and having a head growing on a tumor?
If Shenggu Group was not engaged in industry, it would be fine. If it was a light asset industry, it would be possible to have such a big hole. However, Shenggu is an industrial company, and for such a big hole to exist, it really requires the right time, place and people.

At least the fraudulent means must be awesome, and they must cooperate with upstream and downstream companies to help make fake transactions, and then the audit must be blind, or they can't see anything at all. Then there must be a long transaction chain, which will make Shenggu's valuation complicated...

In short, it is very difficult for an industrial company to have such a large financial loophole, let alone to remain stable for so many years without any problems.

But in the original drama, Sheng Gu was able to do it. If Gu Yansheng really had this ability, he would probably be able to take Sheng Gu public.

Moreover, even if he could do it, he had died in a car accident before. If Gu Yansheng really spent so much energy to conceal this financial loophole, then he would be exposed immediately after his death.

Even if the news had not been exposed, those who helped Gu Yansheng conceal the loopholes should have come to Gu Li to cut a big piece of the fat meat, but these things did not happen. Gu Li knew that Shenggu had a financial loophole of 400 million from Gong Ming.

In other words, it is very likely that Shenggu does not have this financial loophole, or in other words, even if Shenggu has financial problems, they are not necessarily as big as 400 million.

Where did so many of these come from?

After Jian Xi recalled the original drama, he discovered another problem, which was the financial loophole of "ME".

The financial loopholes of "ME" and Shenggu are so similar that the former will ruin the Gong family, and the latter will ruin the Gu family.

What is very clever is that the Gong family happened to acquire Shenggu Group, which combined Shenggu and ME, two companies with highly compatible businesses.

It is hard not to think more about this. You know, in the original drama, Gong Ming knew that Sheng Gu had such a big problem but he never made it public. It was not until later when Gu Li sneaked into his house to steal the financial report in order to investigate the problems of "ME" that this matter was revealed.

Well... Gu Li's way of conducting business wars is to either steal the official seal or the financial report, which is quite thoughtful. But considering that she even said that she could send Gong Ming to court with just an abacus, it is not surprising.

But in short, the attitude of the Gong family on this matter is still quite strange. In the later part of the original drama, we basically only saw Gu Li being troubled by Shenggu’s financial loopholes, while the problem of "ME" disappeared.

To say that there is nothing wrong here, Jian Xi would rather believe that he is actually a pure love warrior.

In addition, why does Ye Chuanping also want Shenggu Group?

The Gong family wanted Sheng Gu, whether it was because of business compatibility or, as Jian Xi guessed, they wanted to shift the financial loopholes to Sheng Gu, both were legitimate reasons, but why did Ye Chuanping do that?
The Ye family's business has nothing in common with Shenggu. He and Gu Yuan mentioned this matter at the beginning, and Gu Yuan said that the reason given by his mother was "There are only so many resources in this world. If you don't take advantage of it, someone else will."

Although Jian Xi felt this reason was strange when he heard it, he did not think much about it. It was barely reasonable. However, compared to this, he would rather believe that Ye Chuanping wanted to use this to resolve the issue that Hao Da'er had been entangled with Gu Li.

While getting rid of Gu Li, you also get Sheng Gu at the same time. It's a sure win no matter how you look at it.

Unfortunately, Ye Chuanping didn't expect that her eldest son already looked like Gu Li. Between her and Gu Li, her eldest son chose Gu Li. Even though she made preparations for both situations, she ended up with nothing.

Sheng Gu didn't get it, and the marriage prepared for his eldest son was also ruined.

At first, Jian Xi thought of this matter as just for fun, but today when he attended Zhou Chongguang's funeral and carefully reviewed the current situation and what happened in the original drama, he noticed something different.

For example, in the original drama, how did Ye Chuanping suddenly take over "ME" in the sequel, and first kicked Gu Li out of the position of financial director and replaced her with Gu Yuan, and then she replaced Gong Ming's position herself.

You know, before Gu Li went to Gong Ming's house to steal the financial report, Ye Chuanping and Gong Ming still had a good cooperative relationship!

Moreover, as soon as Ye Chuanping took over "ME", he immediately learned about Shenggu's financial situation and then sent Gu Li to the police station.

Of course, in the original drama, this matter was also ruined by her eldest son. In order to protect Gu Li, Gu Yuan chose to falsify the accounts and take the blame.

This really caught Ye Chuanping off guard. In the end, she had to pay for the money herself to get Haoda'er out. Then, she suddenly admitted that Gu Li was her daughter-in-law.

It would make sense to say that Ye Chuanping was moved by Haodaer's persistence, but Jian Xi felt that she was forced to accept the reality in the end.

Moreover, Jian Xi felt that it should not be just that, because from a certain perspective, Ye Chuanping finally got Shenggu, and by the way, also got "ME" along with it.

The result was a century-long reconciliation, which was in line with a mother's psychology but not with a businessman's psychology.

As to why this happened, Jian Xi felt that he would have to ask Ye Chuanping herself to find out.

But in short, there are many illogical places in the original drama, which seem a lot more reasonable now. Those strange bugs are probably foreshadowings laid by Teacher Xiaosi.

Well... the world is in tatters, and someone is mending it.

However, although Jian Xi was interested in these things, he didn't have to know them. After all, he was just a passerby.

A large part of the reason for this trip to the funeral today was just to see a bigger scene. When the four bearers of the coffin passed between the two rows of people, the dog man heard one of the bearers mutter that the coffin was very light, so he picked a lucky person and "gently" kicked him.

Then he scored successfully, shocking the whole audience.

The lucky guy who was sitting on the ground covering his butt was still in a daze when he was brought back to his senses by the crowd's exclamations. He turned his head and looked in the direction of everyone's gaze, and saw the sliding coffin and the coffin lid.

The air suddenly froze, and everyone looked at the coffin with the lid fallen off in shock, their eyes changing from fear to surprise.

Because in this coffin, not to mention Zhou Chongguang's body, there is not even a single hair.

The body is missing?
Seeing that the scene in the coffin was the same as he expected, Jian Xi, who had hidden his achievements and fame, began to laugh in his heart despite his surprised expression.

Now this is going to get interesting.

The Gong family went to great lengths to organize such a fake funeral just to publicly announce that Zhou Chongguang was dead, so that they could avoid legal responsibility when "ME" went bankrupt later. But now that Zhou Chongguang's body is missing, how should the Gong family step down?
What's more, what Jian Xi is looking forward to more is what Zhou Chongguang should do now?
According to the time calculation, he should be preparing for plastic surgery on the other side of the ocean. Then after a while, when people are not paying much attention to his funeral, he will reappear under the name Lu Shao as in the original drama.

But now, Jian Xi estimated that this approach would not work.

I don’t know whether the Gong family will turn this fake death into a real death?
"Zhou, why is Zhou Chongguang missing?"

After the surprise, whispers were heard around.

Lin Xiao, who was standing next to Jian Xi, also held Jian Xi's hand and asked puzzledly.

"I don't know." Jian Xi shook his head with a confused look on his face.

At this time, Tang Wanru, who was looking at the coffin with her mouth open in shock, suddenly said in horror: "Could it be that... Zhou Chongguang turned into a zombie and ran away?"

"..."

Although they knew it was impossible, when Tang Wanru, who had a good voice, said it, everyone around who heard it took a few steps back.

Gu Li, who was the first to come to his senses, rolled his eyes at her and said, "Tang Wanru, don't talk nonsense. We are in a church, where did the zombies come from?"

"That... is a vampire?"

Tang Wanru, who always had a unique way of thinking, quickly changed her guess, so everyone retreated further away.

Normally when we hear this kind of thing, we would just treat it as a story, but when it happens at a funeral, it's hard not to be terrified.

A black cat jumping out at a funeral can scare people to death, let alone a corpse disappearing from the coffin?

While everyone was discussing the matter, Gong Ming, who was standing not far away and watching the situation, had already turned pale, and Kitty next to him was even more terrified.

However, Kitty was not frightened by Tang Wanru's words. As someone who knew the inside story and helped Gong Ming implement the death countdown plan, she knew very well that the current situation was bad.

The death countdown plan was only halfway through when such a big revelation happened. Even for her, who was always known for her calm and careful work, her mind was blank at this moment and she had no idea what to do next.

But at this time, Gong Ming, who had originally thought that he could report the progress to his father after the funeral, get his father's praise, and then fly to America to accompany his brother for plastic surgery, stood up.

He took firm steps, pushed aside the relatives and friends who were blocking his way, walked to the empty coffin of his brother, and roared at the crowd of people who were talking around him:
"Who stole my brother's body?!"

……

At the end of the Gregorian calendar year 2014, the biggest joke of the year occurred in the Shanghai business district. That was the engagement ceremony of the Yuan and Ye families. The girlfriends of the bride and the groom started to quarrel on the spot and exposed explosive secrets to each other, making several families lose face.

However, at the beginning of the Gregorian calendar year 2015, a bigger scandal broke out in the Shanghai business district.

The body of the second young master of the Gong family, who died of stomach cancer, was stolen at his funeral!

This gossip instantly overshadowed the gossip at the engagement ceremony. After all, at most what happened at the engagement ceremony could be considered as the bride and groom cheating on each other, but what happened at the Gong family's funeral was stealing a corpse.

It is indeed a content that was instantly classified as a curiosity by everyone, and it was spread with great detail, and the plot and version were constantly updated and iterated.

Because Zhou Chongguang was a great writer, and his writings were always controversial and he often stopped updating, so angry book fans sneaked into his funeral, stole his body and whipped it.

I would also like to take this opportunity to call on all authors to write more joyful or exciting books, and not to make readers who just want to relax spend money to suffer. Also, do not delay or stop updating, otherwise you will end up like Zhou Chongguang, who cannot rest in peace even after death.

There is another version that Zhou Chongguang was not only a writer, but also a handsome man with both talent and good looks. His body was stolen by some people with niche hobbies and some more bizarre things were done to him.

Because this version is bizarre enough, it is the most widely circulated and talked about the most. There is even a fellow author who actually wrote a novel based on it, titled "My Date with a Corpse."

In addition to these two versions, there are actually other versions circulating, involving struggles among wealthy families, forbidden love, and so on.

Oh, the reason why this version of forbidden love came out is because some gossipers revealed that Zhou Chongguang and Gong Ming are half-brothers. Not only do these two young men of marriageable age have no scandals, they are also both so good-looking. The elder brother is cold and tough, while the younger brother is sunny and handsome. They occasionally live together. It is exactly the same as what fujoshis fantasize about. Who can resist this?
Among these versions, a new version emerged, which is that Zhou Chongguang was not actually dead, and this was just a fake funeral intended to cover up the secret of the Gong family's financial crisis.

Unfortunately, the popularity of this version was quickly suppressed. Before it could make a splash, even if someone expressed their belief in this version, Zhou Chongguang's book fans would immediately throw out a notice of Zhou Chongguang's critical illness due to gastric cancer and a death certificate issued by the hospital.

Then this version was forgotten, but other versions are still circulated with details and credibility.

According to the Gong family, they have already reported the case to the police and are making every effort to track down the whereabouts of the second young master's body. They hope that everyone will not make random guesses.

Just as the spectators were waiting and watching, someone suddenly discovered something interesting. That is, the protagonist of the engagement scandal, Gu Li, was the financial director of "ME", and the protagonist of this funeral scandal, Zhou Chongguang, was a columnist for "ME".

The protagonists of the two big melons are actually from the same company, which makes many people wonder:
Is this "ME" company a little too weird?
