Wang Yu Yan left after escorting Qin Xuan to the entrance of an ordinary residential complex.
This was Tan Tai Yue’s hometown. Although the complex was quite old, it looked decent enough after several renovations.
At the entrance, a security guard sat engrossed in a video on his phone.
The guards in such ordinary complexes were usually just for show, going through the motions. Qin Xuan walked past, not even bothering to glance at him.
As soon as he entered the complex, Qin Xuan spotted a group of middle-aged and elderly people gathered in the plaza.
On the plaza stage, a man in a suit and glasses held a microphone.
“Dear uncles, aunties, grandpas, and grandmas, the wealth management product our company has recently launched is absolutely risk-free, promising guaranteed returns. We are backed by a major conglomerate in Jiangbei City! With assets reaching hundreds of billions, there’s absolutely no need to worry about our credibility.”
“The product comes in three types. For a hundred thousand, you can earn three hundred thousand.”
“For two hundred thousand, you can earn one million.”
“For five hundred thousand, you can earn three million!”
“In short, the more you invest, the more you earn!”
As soon as the man in glasses finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in discussion.
“Can you really earn that much? Young man, are you sure you’re not bluffing? That’s more than triple the amount!” an auntie, around fifty years old, asked with some doubt.
The man in glasses smiled and nodded.
“Auntie, of course, it’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask this auntie here. She’s already earned quite a bit.”
After speaking, the man in glasses pointed to a middle-aged woman in the crowd.
“Yes, yes, it’s all true. I invested a hundred thousand the first time, and in less than a week, I really earned three hundred thousand. The second time, I invested two hundred thousand, and in less than a week, it became six hundred thousand!” the middle-aged woman said excitedly.
From a distance, Qin Xuan saw the middle-aged woman and immediately frowned.
This middle-aged woman was Qin Xuan’s mother-in-law, Zou Li Fen.
Zou Li Fen was incredibly excited, showing her phone screen displaying remittance records to the crowd.
There were three transactions of thirty thousand each, with the sender listed as “Hui Li Fund,” the company the man in glasses had mentioned.
“Wow! They really have this much money!”
“I thought it was a scam at first, but with proof, it’s real! I want to invest! I want to invest! I’ll go back and get my retirement savings right away.”
“I’m investing too! I’ll put in all the pension money my son gave me this year!”
“I’ll sell my house and invest! Then I’ll earn millions! And buy a villa, hahaha! Don’t try to snatch it from me!”
Seeing that Zou Li Fen had truly made money, everyone immediately started murmuring their desire to invest.
Zou Li Fen was also overjoyed.
Initially, she had also suspected it was a scam. But after the man in glasses’ persistent persuasion, she used her remaining savings to purchase the hundred-thousand yuan package and it truly paid off.
Later, the man in glasses approached Zou Li Fen, asking her to be a witness and help promote the product. In return, he promised her a special deal: invest one million yuan and earn ten million!
This made Zou Li Fen so excited that she couldn’t sleep. Ten million yuan! She could move out of this dilapidated complex and buy a large villa. The remaining money would be enough for her to enjoy life outside the district every day!
So, Zou Li Fen called Tan Tai Yue, saying she was short on living expenses and asked Tan Tai Yue to send her some money.
Coincidentally, Qin Xuan was coming to Luo Chuan City with Wang Yu Yan. Tan Tai Yue asked Qin Xuan to deliver the money, hoping it would improve Qin Xuan’s relationship with Zou Li Fen.
Zou Li Fen watched as everyone else was busily paying to invest in the fund. She currently only had eight hundred thousand yuan, and was still twenty thousand short of the one-million yuan package.
“This damned Qin Xuan, Yue’er asked him to deliver money but he’s nowhere to be found. He’s probably spent it on prostitutes with some other woman,” Zou Li Fen muttered anxiously, pacing back and forth.
“No, I need to call Yue’er and give this ungrateful wretch a good scolding, and then have Yue’er transfer the money to me directly. Honestly, why would they ask this useless Qin Xuan to deliver money? He probably ran off with it already!”
Having said that, Zou Li Fen pulled out her phone, preparing to call Tan Tai Yue.
“Mom.” Just as Zou Li Fen was about to dial, she heard a familiar voice. Looking up, she saw Qin Xuan.
