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

Chapter 687 Qian Xiaoli personally goes to Hangzhou to verify the authenticity.
There isn't one?!
However, Fang Qingye didn't ask any more questions; Shen Nanpeng had no reason to lie to him about this.

After chatting with Shen Nanpeng for a few minutes and hanging up, Fang Qingye called Ma Yun again. This time, he didn't ask whether Alibaba had invested in Lü Yang's company. Instead, he asked Ma Yun if she could help check if there was ever a person named Lü Yang at Cainiao Network, and told her what he knew.

Ma Yun gave a reply the next morning, saying that after checking with the human resources departments of Taobao and Cainiao Network, neither company had a person with the name and working hours that Fang Qingye mentioned!

It turns out the resume was fake too!
This is a big problem.

Fang Qingye didn't tell Qian Weimin the news directly, but told Bai Ou first. Bai Ou was also surprised: "Wow, this Lü Yang is a swindler! He actually wants to cheat people out of their money and their bodies!"

“It’s possible. Qian Xiaoli finally found someone she liked, but it still turned out like this. Never mind, I’ll call Qian Weimin and tell him to talk to his daughter.”

"Well, I'll find a suitable opportunity to persuade Xiaoli as well."

Fang Qingye then called Qian Weimin and told him exactly what Shen Nanpeng and Ma Yun had said.

The other party didn't reply for a long time.

"Mr. Qian, that's the situation. I don't know much else, but what these two said is absolutely true," Fang Qingye concluded.

"Thank you. Sigh." Qian Weimin heard a long sigh: "Luckily, the 8000 million hasn't been invested yet, otherwise it would have been a complete waste."

After completing the task entrusted to him by Qian Weimin, Fang Qingye stopped paying attention to it. The next day, around 4 p.m., his secretary Hu Lingling suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Fang Xing, Qian Xiaoli, the vice president of Tenglong Group, is here to see you."

Is Qian Xiaoli here?
"Let her in."

The door opened, and Qian Xiaoli walked in wearing a gray business suit. Her face was calm, but Fang Qingye noticed that her eyes were a little swollen, as if she had been crying.

"Xiaoli, please sit down," Fang Qingye greeted warmly, and the two sat down on the sofa.

After watching Hu Lingling pour tea and leave, Qian Xiaoli said, "Ye Zi, did my dad ask you to investigate Lü Yang?"

"Yes, the afternoon before the holiday ended, your father came to the nursery and asked me to inquire about it." Fang Qingye then told Qian Xiaoli about Qian Weimin's visit to the nursery and the information she had inquired about.

“I guess your dad told you that too. I don’t know about other things, but this is true. I wouldn’t lie to you,” Fang Qingye said.

"Ye Zi, I know you wouldn't lie to me, but... I really went to his company and visited his data processing center. It was huge, it didn't seem fake." Qian Xiaoli seemed a little skeptical.

"Oh, where is his company's data center?"

"It's located in the Hangzhou Jiangnan Avenue High-tech Industrial Development Zone."

After hearing this, Fang Qingye pondered for a moment and said, "Xiaoli, you don't know much about data processing. How about this, have Bai Ou send a data processing engineer from the company, and you take him to Hangzhou. You can go directly to find Lü Yang or secretly observe him. Go and see for yourself how big his data processing center really is and whether it's real or not. Then we can decide on our next move."

“Okay, I’ll call Bai Ou.” Qian Xiaoli couldn’t wait and immediately took out her phone to find Bai Ou’s number. She rattled off a few words, and Bai Ou readily agreed.

"So when are you planning to go to Hangzhou, Xiaoli?"

"The sooner the better, I want to go tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully and choose a reliable one for you. You come to Shanghai tomorrow morning, and then we'll go to Hangzhou together," Bai Ou said on the phone.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Qian Xiaoli stayed at Fang Qingye's place for a few more minutes before leaving in a hurry. Only then did Fang Qingye call Bai Ou and give her some more instructions.

“You not only need to choose someone with solid technical skills, but also someone who’s quick-witted,” Fang Qingye said, sitting on the sofa. “I have a feeling that Lü Yang’s data center is fake, and he might just be trying to scam Qian Xiaoli!”

"Yes, I feel the same way, but I didn't want to tell Xiaoli just now, because I was worried that it would make her feel even worse."

"You should advise her to think more positively. Anyway, the 8000 million hasn't been invested yet. Consider it a lesson learned," Fang Qingye comforted her. "But I heard from Xiaoli that Lü Yang has already borrowed 1000 million from her, saying it's for the company's emergency funding before financing, and that this 1000 million will be considered her investment in shares in the future."

Fang Qingye didn't know what to say, and after a while she said, "Let's talk about it after Qian Xiaoli and the others go to Hangzhou to investigate tomorrow."

"Ah."

The next morning, Qian Xiaoli, still dressed in a white women's casual suit and wearing sunglasses, drove a Mercedes-Benz S500 straight to Shanghai. She had arranged to meet Bai Ou at Tuofang Company in the Shanghai International Financial Building.

In Bai Ou's office, the two chatted for a few minutes, and Bai Ou went out and soon returned with a young man.

"Xiaoli, this is Xie Lidong, the deputy director of the Tomorrow Cube Data Processing Center and a PhD in Computer Science and Technology from Beijing University. He will accompany you to Hangzhou."

Qian Xiaoli sized him up. He was of medium height, probably no more than 1.76 meters, with an ordinary appearance. He was wearing a plaid shirt and casual pants, and black-rimmed glasses—a typical engineering student.

This kind of guy, aside from being a bit smarter, probably has almost zero emotional intelligence. That's Qian Xiaoli's overall assessment of this type of guy. She has absolutely no interest in being around such a person.

However, she had urgent business to attend to today, and it wasn't a day out for fun. Qian Xiaoli took off her sunglasses and greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Xie."

Jie Lidong also looked at Qian Xiaoli.

She's quite tall, probably around 1.7 meters, and a great beauty.

Although President Bai simply introduced her as a good friend without revealing her identity, Jie Lidong judged from her attire and demeanor that she must be a wealthy heiress.

“Jie Gong, I’ve explained to you everything you need to do in Hangzhou with Miss Qian. Once you’re there, follow Miss Qian’s arrangements. Also,” Bai Ou paused and emphasized, “be careful.”

"I see."

Bai Ou originally intended for the two of them to have lunch before setting off, but Qian Xiaoli glanced at her wristwatch and saw it was only 10:30, so she hurriedly said they would have lunch in Hangzhou.

Bai Ou did not try to stop her.

Jie Lidong followed Qian Xiaoli downstairs, got into her Mercedes-Benz, and drove onto the overpass, heading straight for Hangzhou.

On the way, Qian Xiaoli silently pondered her own thoughts, while Jie Lidong sat in the back row without uttering a word. The two remained silent all the way to Hangzhou.

After entering the city, Qian Xiaoli found a restaurant that looked relatively clean and had a simple meal. Then she used her GPS to head straight for Jiangnan Avenue. She didn't plan to go directly to Lü Yang, but rather to open a data center in private.

Upon arriving at the high-tech development zone located in the middle section of Jiangnan Avenue, Qian Xiaoli drove straight to the data center of Global Shopping there. She could see a light gray factory building from afar.

"Right there."

"Stop the car first," Xie Lidong said.

Qian Xiaoli parked the car on the side of the road, and the two got out and walked towards the factory.

There is a fence around it and a security booth, but it seems to be empty today. There are also warning signs nearby such as "Data Center Area - No Unauthorized Personnel Allowed" and "24-Hour Monitoring Area".

The factory building is two stories high, with the doors tightly closed. The exterior walls are made of metal panels, and large ventilation equipment is arranged on the roof. There are silver-gray heat dissipation grilles on the side of the factory building, making it look like a data processing center.

"See this sign?" Qian Xiaoli pointed to a sign hanging at the entrance, which read "Global Shopping E-commerce Company Data Processing Center" in both Chinese and English.

Jie Lidong didn't say anything, walked around the factory, then smiled at Qian Xiaoli and said, "No need to look, it's fake."

"Fake? You didn't go in to see, so how can you say it's fake?!" Qian Xiaoli looked suspicious.
