Chapter 752
He deserves it
However, the small ripples caused by Chen Qinzhi did not last long.
The group of graduate students who were alumni of Xu Bo'an were all highly educated individuals. How could they be fooled by Chen Qinzhi's few words? One of them immediately said, "I think you've been misled by Chen Qinzhi's words."
What does Chen Qinzhi's debt have to do with Xu Bo'an? Xu Bo'an runs a company and needs to make money. He also has many employees to pay their salaries. Of course, he would choose a reliable person as his agent. If he chose someone like Chen Qinzhi, who has no morals, wouldn't that drag the whole company down with him? How could he continue operating then?
"That's right. Besides, Xu Bo'an is a big boss. He can choose whoever he wants to represent him. That's his freedom! No one should interfere!"
"The main problem is that Chen Qinzhi borrowed money from us. We only need him to return our principal. We didn't ask him to pay us interest, so what does it have to do with whether he makes money or not! It's not like we're making money!"
"The most crucial point is that his character is not trustworthy, so don't let him lead you astray!"
"The problem lies with Chen Qinzhi personally; it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
These remarks from the graduate students instantly awakened those who had been led astray by Chen Qinzhi.
The wind direction reversed instantly.
Yes, it's Chen Qinzhi who owes the money, what does he have to do with this young man surnamed Xu?
Besides, as a relative, when I lent Chen Qinzhi the money, I only asked for the principal and not the interest. Since he hasn't spent the money on this hangover remedy yet, the money should still be in his hands.
Chen Qinzhi naturally has to repay this money.
Immediately, Chen Qinzhi's relatives started clamoring again, insisting that Chen Qinzhi pay back the money today.
At this moment, Chen Qinzhi realized that his trick was not working and immediately had a headache. Why was it so easy to fool this group of people when they were borrowing money, but now they were so hard to fool?
What should I do today? With so many people watching, I can't run away, and I can't pay back the money!
Chen Qinzhi said, "Okay, everyone wait here, I'll go to the bank now and get the money for you!"
Immediately, someone who reacted quickly sneered and scolded, "Heh, Chen Qinzhi, are you ever going to stop? You've been making excuses time and time again. Do you think we're all fools? This is the new era. Do you think you need to go to the bank to withdraw money to pay us back? You're not planning to take this opportunity to run away, are you? Don't try any more tricks. Hurry up and transfer the money to our mobile banking card!"
Chen Qinzhi said, "I'm really sorry I forgot about this. How about this, I can only repay a portion of the money I have on hand for now. The rest is all in the stock market. Once the stock market recovers, I will repay everyone in full! What do you think?"
This kind of talk is only good for fooling a three-year-old. Anyone with eyes can tell that Chen Qinzhi simply can't pay back the money. The only reason everyone is gathered here to listen to his nonsense is because they think he's a relative or friend and want to give him a chance. They hope he can pay back the money, and they don't want to ruin things. But now everyone can see that he's a complete scoundrel.
The man, who had long been worn down by Chen Qinzhi, finally snapped, "Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. You keep making excuses, and I'm getting annoyed. In the end, you still don't have the money to pay us back. I'm going to sue the relevant authorities!"
No sooner had the man finished speaking than someone in the crowd said, "I have already submitted the information to the relevant departments online and requested enforcement!"
One of the people who knew the law said, "Alright, everyone, disperse. We already gave him a chance. As long as he paid back the money, we would leave. Now that we know he really can't pay, we can just go directly to the relevant department to enforce the judgment. If we keep blocking him for too long, we will also be held legally responsible! Once he receives the summons from the relevant department, our money will be secured! He can't escape!"
Upon hearing this person's words, the crowd gradually dispersed.
During the conversation, the students kept praising Xu Bo'an, saying that if it weren't for Xu Bo'an, they wouldn't know how long they would have been fooled by Chen Qinzhi.
They told Xu Bo'an that if he ever became successful, he should definitely give them a hand. Anyway, these classmates were incredibly enthusiastic towards Xu Bo'an.
These words were extremely grating to Chen Qinzhi, who was in a state of utter despair. The money he had borrowed from relatives and friends was about to be seized by the relevant authorities. In that case, not only would he lose the money in his bank account, but he would also lose his house and car, and he would truly become a penniless pauper.
Most importantly, the network of relationships he had painstakingly built over the years, including the VIPs in the private room invited by Chen Qinzhi, had all been ruined by today's incident. If he needed to contact them in the future, they would definitely turn him away.
All his meticulous plans had completely fallen apart today. All his relatives and friends no longer trusted him. Watching his relatives and friends leave and seeing people praising Xu Bo'an, Chen Qinzhi was filled with anger and despair. For a moment, he completely lost his mind!
Chen Qinzhi attributed all his misfortunes today to Xu Bo'an, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Xu Bo'an, his scarlet eyes seemingly filled with blood.
He clenched his fists and slammed them down hard on the table, followed by a groan of pain, because he hadn't noticed that his fists had landed squarely on the handle of a fruit knife.
The unlucky Chen Qinzhi looked at the fruit knife and couldn't help but curse inwardly. At that moment, the hatred filling his heart gave rise to an evil idea.
That's right, Chen Qinzhi's evil thought was to use this fruit knife to finish off Xu Bo'an. Since he had no hope of living anyway, he figured Xu Bo'an wouldn't have an easy time either.
Indeed, when people are extremely angry, they fall into an irrational state dominated by the "emotional brain." Their originally clear logic is clouded by anger, their bottom line is torn apart by impulse, and they may even have extreme thoughts of harming others or self-destruction. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff, where one step could lead to an irreversible abyss.
Chen Qinzhi was currently in an irrational state, controlled by his "emotional brain." He quickly grabbed the fruit knife and rushed towards Xu Bo'an, intending to stab Xu Bo'an directly in the neck and end his life without fail.
Although Xu Bo'an was chatting with his classmates and not looking directly at Chen Qinzhi, he was constantly on guard against Chen Qinzhi's actions. He knew that Chen Qinzhi would be furious and emotionally agitated after being exposed for what he had done today, and he wanted to be prepared to deal with any outrageous behavior Chen Qinzhi might do. Actually, Xu Bo'an didn't intend to expose Chen Qinzhi in front of everyone; he didn't like creating trouble for himself. However, Chen Qinzhi was using his name to borrow money from classmates, damaging Xu Bo'an's reputation. Xu Bo'an couldn't let himself be so shamelessly mocked. He simply wanted to clarify the situation to everyone. Otherwise, if Chen Qinzhi ended up with a mountain of debt and couldn't repay it, everyone would come after him, which would be awkward. Xu Bo'an was just an ordinary person protecting his legitimate rights from infringement.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qinzhi repeatedly insulted and mocked Xu Bo'an, and even boasted to Xu Bo'an, the owner of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory, about his upcoming agency for hangover remedy. Liu Quan couldn't stand it anymore and finally told him that Xu Bo'an was the owner of Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory.
Then everyone found out that he had lied and deceived them, and only then did a series of events unfold.
He brought all this on himself. If it weren't for his repeated swaggering and insults towards Xu Bo'an, Liu Quan wouldn't have bothered with him at all. He might have just left without even bumping into Xu Bo'an, and all his messes could have been smoothed over.
It's because he was so arrogant and domineering that things turned out this way. And the most crucial reason is that if Chen Qinzhi hadn't done those despicable things, would he have become the object of everyone's scorn and contempt today?
All of this was because Chen Qinzhi brought it upon himself. The fireball grew bigger and bigger, and the truth could no longer be hidden, exposing everything at once!
What does this have to do with Xu Bo'an? As expected, this guy really is going to take extreme measures. The students were chatting enthusiastically with Xu Bo'an, and no one noticed Chen Qinzhi, who was following closely behind them with a fruit knife.
Just as Chen Qinzhi angrily approached Xu Bo'an with a fruit knife, Xu Bo'an immediately sensed the approaching danger. On the surface, he was still chatting and laughing with his classmates, but he was already on the defensive. Just as Chen Qinzhi placed the fruit knife on Xu Bo'an's shoulder, less than two centimeters away from Xu Bo'an's neck, Xu Bo'an quickly reached out and firmly clamped the fruit knife with the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
At this moment, Chen Qinzhi's entire hand was powerless. Xu Bo'an instantly turned his head, and the hand that was gripping the knife handle moved down quickly and struck Chen Qinzhi's wrist with a palm strike. Immediately afterward, the fruit knife in Chen Qinzhi's hand fell directly to the ground.
The students were so frightened by Chen Qinzhi's actions that they dared not even breathe. The hall was completely silent except for the clanging sound of the fruit knife hitting the ground.
Chen Qinzhi was stunned. He clearly hadn't seen Xu Bo'an turn around. How did he know he was going to ambush him? Did Xu Bo'an have eyes in the back of his head? This was too unfair!
While he was still in a daze, Xu Bo'an said calmly to Chen Qinzhi, "Hey old classmate, are you trying to kill me? You've practically put a knife to my throat! Do you know that's illegal?"
Chen Qinzhi looked at Xu Bo'an with disbelief and voiced his doubts: "The knife was clearly near your neck just now, how did you notice it and stop it in time? An ordinary person couldn't do that, how did you do it? How is that possible?"
Xu Bo'an smiled faintly and said, "Oh, that's nothing special. It's just that a master taught me for a while before, and I learned some simple martial arts skills!"
Chen Qinzhi murmured, "Impossible...impossible, such close range couldn't be achieved with just a little bit of martial arts!"
The students, recovering from their shock, looked at Chen Qinzhi with disgust. One of them said, "How dare you ask that question? Luckily, Bo'an knows some kung fu. If Xu Bo'an hadn't acted quickly, he would be dead!"
"Chen Qinzhi, you actually committed such a terrible act as silencing witnesses! You have truly disappointed your classmates!"
With such a serious incident occurring, Liu Quan had already called the police without Xu Bo'an's reminder.
Soon after, the relevant authorities arrived in the hotel lobby, apprehended Chen Qinzhi, and put a gleaming silver bracelet on his wrist.
Now that things have come to this point, Chen Qinzhi has nothing to fear. As he was being taken away by the relevant authorities, Chen Qinzhi looked at Xu Bo'an with a wicked smile and said, "Hehe, you win! Liu Quan embezzled a lot of money behind your back, and you probably don't even know it!"
Chen Qinzhi felt that the reason his affairs were exposed today was entirely because of that bastard Xu Bo'an, but Liu Quan was also involved. The last thing he could do now was to pin the blame on Liu Quan, so that Xu Bo'an and Liu Quan, the two who had bullied him, would fight like dogs.
Liu Quan looked at Chen Qinzhi angrily and said, "You..."
Before Liu Quan could finish speaking, Xu Bo'an reached out and gently patted Liu Quan's shoulder. Upon receiving Xu Bo'an's signal, Liu Quan swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Xu Bo'an knew Liu Quan's character all too well. How could Xu Bo'an not know Chen Qinzhi's intentions when he said that? How could he let his words sow discord between them?
Xu Bo'an looked at Chen Qinzhi and said calmly, "Everyone is equal before the law. There is no winner or loser! As for the baseless accusation that Liu Quan embezzled, should I add a charge of defamation against you? Multiple charges will be punished together, so you can stay in jail for a few more years."
Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Qinzhi finally knew better than to shut up! He had no choice but to keep quiet; saying another word would only dig a hole for himself!
Afterwards, the law enforcement team patiently dispersed the crowd. Xu Bo'an went with the relevant departments to give a statement before returning home.
Today's meal was quite an ordeal, both mentally and physically exhausting. Xu Bo'an didn't get home until after 2 p.m.
Because of his habit of taking a nap at the construction site, Xu Bo'an lay down on the bed and began to rest.
When you're on a construction site, most of the workers who are just starting out as technicians are running around all day. If you don't make sure you get enough sleep at noon and are well-rested, you simply won't be able to do any work in the afternoon.
Therefore, Xu Bo'an developed very good sleeping habits, and soon his even breathing could be heard. (End of this chapter)
