I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 510 The Pug Lies on a Dung Heap—Pretending to be a Big Dog!
Qian Weimin was tending to his orchids in the courtyard.

When Chinese people reach a certain age, their inner spirit awakens, and they either drink tea and listen to opera, or they enjoy appreciating flowers and plants. Qian Weimin bought these two relatively precious Cymbidium orchids from Fang Qingye's Four Seasons Nursery, of course, at a discount.

Seeing his daughter hurrying out the door with her bag, Qian Weimin casually asked, "Xiaoli, where are you going?"

"I went to Kerry Group and heard that Dahai has returned."

"You're going to Kerry?" Qian Weimin put down his small shovel, turned around, and looked at his daughter.

"Should we go and collect the debt? Although Kerry Group still owes Tenglong nearly 2000 million yuan for building materials, it's not appropriate to go and collect it now."

"Although Song Dacheng is not a good kid, I am friends with his father, Song Qingdong. Let's not fall into his trap and wait a while longer."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaoli laughed: "Dad, who said I was going to collect the debt? I'm going to Kerry's headquarters to find Dahai and see if I can help."

"You want to help Song Dahai?!" Qian Weimin's eyes held a half-smile. "Xiaoli, when you were pursuing Song Dahai, that kid absolutely refused to agree. Now that he's in trouble, you actually want to help him?!"

Qian Xiaoli was displeased upon hearing this, "Dad, can we not bring up the past? Besides, this matter should be handled separately!"

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it again! But let me tell you, don't get involved in the Song family's affairs! We're not chasing after debts or kicking each other when they're down, and I think that's already doing justice to my friendship with Song Qingdong over the years! As for helping or even lending money, don't do anything foolish!" Qian Weimin said.

"You know that real estate developers are all heavily indebted. With this happening to the Song family, the banks are withdrawing loans, and their cash flow is bound to break! I think they might even go bankrupt! Besides, is that kid Song Dahai even cut out for business?"

In the end, Qian Weimin shook his head.

"Who says Kerry Group will definitely go bankrupt?" Qian Xiaoli sneered. "It might be possible if it were Song Dacheng, but Kerry Group is under the helm of Song Dahai, absolutely not! You forgot, he has a close friend, Fang Qingye! At this critical moment, do you think Fang Qingye would sit idly by?! He has a lot of money in his hands!"

"Hmm, what you said makes some sense," Qian Weimin said thoughtfully. "Fang Qingye, that kid, although ruthless in his actions, is quite good to his friends. Didn't he go abroad? Has he come back?"

"I heard from Bai Ou yesterday that she came back from Brazil."

"Oh, then go ahead. A few words of comfort are fine, but you can't lend me money!" Qian Weimin instructed.

"Stingy!" Qian Xiaoli muttered, then went out the door, got into her Audi, and drove towards the Kerry Group Building.

At this moment, the general manager's office of Kerry Group was noisy. More than a dozen people were gathered around the boss's desk. Song Dahai sat behind the desk without saying a word, while Chen Meimei stood next to him, her face pale.

"Bosses, please calm down. Can you give our CEO, Mr. Song, some time? He just took office and is completely lost."

The speaker was a balding man in his fifties, Liu Yanming, the vice president of Kerry Group and a veteran of the group. He had followed Song Qingdong since he was a construction foreman and was extremely loyal to Kerry Group.

With Kerry Group in trouble, Song Dacheng arrested, and Song Qingdong hospitalized, the entire group was in a state of panic, and Liu Yanming was the only one holding things together.

Upon hearing Liu Yanming's words, a middle-aged man in his forties retorted, "Mr. Liu, you make it sound so easy! I'll give him time, but who's going to give us time! I'm still waiting to pay back the 1400 million yuan owed to Chiya Building Materials to pay my workers' wages!"

“Mr. Zhang, what you’re saying is unreasonable. Our contract clearly states that the repayment date is June 30th. It’s only mid-April now. Why are you asking for payment in advance?” Liu Yanming questioned.

"June 30th?" the man called Mr. Zhang sneered.
"Can your Kerry Group hold out until that day?! You're facing huge fines right now, and you're already drowning in debt! All construction sites are shut down, and houses aren't selling! Banks are withdrawing loans, and I heard that the Construction Bank sent people to your door yesterday, right?"

"That's right, it's not that we're heartless, it's just that your Kerry Group is utterly hopeless. If you're going to be in trouble, don't drag us down with you. Pay your debts!"

"It is only natural to pay back debts!"

"If you don't pay me back today, I'll take everything here to pay off the debt!" a thin man shouted.

"Who the hell dares to move anything?!" Song Dahai suddenly stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and roared at the skinny man:
"Hu Jun! You dare touch me? One phone call and I can still get you in jail! Our Song family may be down on our luck, but it's not your place to bully us, you bastard! Back then, you almost licked my brother's crotch just to sell your cement! Damn it! You're a total lapdog!" Song Dahai's imposing manner startled Hu Jun, and hearing the past brought up, he immediately became enraged: "Oh, you think you're so tough, huh? You're only good because of your dad! What do you have now? Your dad's in the hospital, Kerry's closing down immediately, what's there for you to be so tough about?! Stop with the nonsense, pay me back!"

"Hey, you grown men, don't you have any compassion at all?!" Suddenly, a young woman walked in from outside and loudly rebuked, "Some of you have connections with Uncle Song, and some have connections with Song Dacheng. You've been doing business together for a long time. Now that Kerry Group is in some trouble, you're rushing here to collect debts?"

"Oh, so it's the heiress of Tenglong Group." Hu Jun looked Qian Xiaoli up and down. "Aren't you here to collect a debt? I heard that Kerry Group also owes Tenglong Group a lot of money for building materials, right?"

"Yes, but our Tenglong Group isn't as shameless as your Hongdong Cement! Taking advantage of someone's misfortune!" Qian Xiaoli said angrily.

"Your Tenglong Group is a large and powerful company, so you don't care about losing tens of millions. But our Hongdong Cement is a small and insignificant company, and we dare not compare ourselves to you." Hu Jun said with a forced smile.

"How about this, Ms. Qian, how about your Tenglong Group pays for me on behalf of Kerry Group? They don't owe me much, just 700 million. That way, it'll make your Tenglong Group and you, Qian Xiaoli, seem great and noble!"

Hu Jun said sarcastically.

"you?!"

700 million is 700 million, do you think I can't afford it?!

Without using any of the Tenglong Group's funds, I can immediately provide you with 700 million yuan from my own Kangjian Pharmacy!
Now, Qian Xiaoli's Kangjian Pharmacy has opened 12 chain stores in Jinghai, Nanxin, Wuyang and other places. With unified procurement, unified logistics and unified store management, the business is booming.

Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoli snorted coldly: "Fine, the 700 million that Kerry Group owes you, my Kangjian Pharmacy will pay! But the debt must be paid by the due date!"

“Okay. Let’s write it down!” Hu Jun said immediately.

"Mr. Qian, there's mine too."

"My goodness, Mr. Qian, the debt owed to our company is due!"

The scene was somewhat chaotic, with everyone crowding towards Qian Xiaoli.

The girl bit her lip tightly.

She felt it was no problem to advance 700 million yuan, but any more would affect Kangjian Pharmacy's cash flow.

"Xiaoli, thank you, but no need." Song Dahai replied at this moment, then looked at everyone and said, "Dear bosses, I will definitely repay the money I owe you. I hereby declare that I, Song Dahai, will absolutely not default on my debts. Even if Kerry Group has to sell everything it owns, it will repay everyone's debts on time!"

"Sell everything you own? What are your Kerry Group's net assets right now? Stop pretending to be a big dog while lying on a pile of dung! You're a company on the verge of bankruptcy, and you're still putting on an act!"

It was Hu Jun speaking again.

Song Dahai was furious; veins bulged on his temples, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Damn it, given my usual temper, I'd beat you to death, you son of a bitch!

"Dahai, don't be impulsive." Chen Meimei desperately pulled on her husband's arm, knowing that if she threw a punch, things would get out of hand.

Just then, a man's voice was heard from outside the door: "Who said it was a fake big dog? Who said the Kerry Group was going to go bankrupt?"

Everyone looked towards the doorway and saw a young man stride in.

Fang Qingye.
