Chapter 527: Issues Left Behind After Qiao Lei's Escape
Qiao Lei ran away with the money. Not only Gu Qingqing couldn't accept it, but Gu Qingshi also felt uncomfortable.
Thinking back to when he successfully won over Gu Qingqing with the help of Qiao Lei's love manual, he was so grateful to Qiao Lei.
So whenever Qiao Lei asked, he would agree to her request, and he didn't mind even if he had to spend a lot of time repairing a second-hand radio for Qiao Liang and the others.
Who could have thought that the other party would suddenly catch them off guard?
Jiang Yanqiu and the others thought that even though Qiao Lei had run away, Gu Qingqing still had the shop.
There are twelve stores in total, which are worth a lot of money. It is better than them losing more than 20,000.
It's just that they think things are too simple.
After Qiao Lei disappeared, Gu Qingqing began to tidy up the store. After Qiao Lei left, many things had to be done by new people.
Previously, Qiao's mother was in charge of managing their family's mutton shop and hot pot restaurant. These two shops were next to each other and also served as the main store. Qiao's mother was in charge of all matters, big and small.
Gu Qingqing really didn't want to use Qiao's mother. It wasn't because she didn't trust her, but mainly because she couldn't feel good when she saw Qiao's mother.
So she told Qiao's mother to find her another job and she would arrange someone to manage the two stores herself.
As a result, before reporting her own daughter's disappearance, Qiao's mother sued Gu Qingqing first.
It was said that Gu Qingqing embezzled the store's property, murdered Qiao Lei and falsely accused her of absconding with the money, and wanted to monopolize Qiao Lei's property.
He also said that the store has always been managed by Gu Qingqing, and the accounts are also handled by Gu Qingqing, and Qiao Lei is only responsible for purchasing.
It must be that Gu Qingqing saw that the store was doing well, so she wanted to monopolize the store by herself and framed Qiao Lei.
Gu Qingqing was taken away by the police for investigation!
In the later period, Qiao's mother was not as gentle and kind-hearted as usual, she was very tough.
He fought to the death with Gu Qingqing, insisting that it was Gu Qingqing who killed Qiao Lei.
If the police were even slightly biased towards Gu Qingqing, she would throw a tantrum in the police station, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself at the door.
Later, Shen Shuyan came forward to testify that Qiao Lei’s disappearance had nothing to do with Gu Qingqing. When Qiao Lei disappeared, Gu Qingqing was still looking for fabric in Jiangnan, and there was evidence of her absence.
Now Gu Qingqing was cleared of suspicion, but the matter of the money was still unclear.
Since neither side has any evidence, unless Qiao Lei is found, or there is more compelling evidence that the other party has embezzled public funds.
Moreover, their income almost all came from those smuggled home appliances, and that money could not be disclosed, so the matter was left as it is.
After this incident, Gu Qingqing felt very tired and decided to split up the shop and let everyone do their own thing.
But Qiao's mother disagreed and said that she had no right to make decisions for her daughter's store and had to wait until she found Qiao Lei.
Everyone knew that the Qiao family had no power, no influence, and no connections in the capital. Without Gu Qingqing, their business would not be able to continue, so they would not let Gu Qingqing leave.
Clothing stores and home appliance stores ran out of stock and had to close.
Gu Qingqing said directly that if Qiao's mother wanted to run the business, she could take over, as she would not be in charge of these stores anyway.
Gu Qingqing didn't care. There was no source of goods, no one cared, no money to buy the goods, and there was so much rent, but no one was willing to take over.
Qiao's mother had no choice but to agree to sell the clothing store!
The only thing left was the restaurant, and Gu Qingqing didn't want to have anything to do with the Qiao family anymore. Moreover, she had found the right fabric and wanted to create her own brand, so she would concentrate on the clothing business in the future.
Since Qiao's mother was unwilling to separate, Gu Qingqing wanted to transfer the shares she held.
This time, Qiao's mother was not happy about it. Without Gu Qingqing, where would they find the ingredients to do business? She did not agree to Gu Qingqing transferring her shares.
In the end, it was Shen Shuyan who stepped in to talk to Qiao's mother, and only then did Qiao's mother agree to let Gu Qingqing transfer the shares.
Gu Qingqing was also a little unhappy, so she found a buyer who was even more aggressive than Qiao's mother and transferred her shares in the hot pot restaurant and mutton hot pot restaurant at a low price.
Because Qiao's mother made such a fuss, Gu Qingqing had the police accompany her when the shares were transferred, and settled the accounts with the Qiao family so that no one would lose out in the future.
Problems arose again in the middle of the process. Qiao Liang discovered that one home appliance store was missing, and he even asked directly which home appliance store was the most profitable.
Qiao's mother was furious and started to demand the account book be handed over. Under the watchful eyes of the police, Gu Qingqing had no choice but to hand over the account book.
However, the items in the store were sold out before Qiao Lei left, and only some people brought items in to repair their home appliances.
The money was also with Qiao Lei. Even if there was any, it was in Gu Qingqing's space, and she couldn't take it out. In the end, Qiao's mother also paid half of the rent, utilities, and bills for this quarter.
If smuggled goods were found, Gu Qingqing would have to go to the police station again.
But there was nothing illegal, no matter how big the store's turnover was, there was no evidence, and since Gu Qingshi had connections, Gu Qingqing was fine.
After selling all the stores, Gu Qingqing got back 12,000 yuan.
They didn't lose any capital. Their profit mainly came from smuggling, which didn't require much capital. However, they had been busy working for Qiao Lei for the past six months.
According to incomplete statistics, Qiao Lei took away at least 100,000 yuan of public funds.
As for Gao Feng, Qiao Lei sold her share to Gao Feng's family before she left. The two parties no longer have any conflict of interest, and Gao Feng's family suffered no losses.
Tian Mi went to watch the fun whenever she had time, and she didn't forget to tell Jiang Yanqiu about it. Jiang Yanqiu found it incredible after hearing it.
They have all gone to Qiao Lei's restaurant to eat several times. Every time, Qiao's mother was very warm and generous, and seemed easy to get along with.
She and Gu Qingqing are like real mother and daughter. She always praises Gu Qingqing and puts down Qiao Lei, and Qiao Lei pretends to be aggrieved.
The kind-hearted mother of the heroine in the book felt sorry for Gu Qingqing and Lin Xiaomei because they were not loved by their father and mother, so she adopted them as her goddaughters and treated them better than her own daughters.
But who could have thought that things would turn out like this, that the godmother who had been so caring towards Gu Qingqing and had stood up for them, had actually turned into a shrew.
So, no matter who it is, interests are always the most important. No matter how good the relationship is, once interests are involved, they can turn against each other.
However, Qiao's mother made a wrong move. Although Gu Qingqing does not recognize Qiao's mother as her godmother like in the book, they still get along quite well.
If things hadn't turned out like this, given Gu Qingqing's personality, she would have blamed Qiao Lei for running away with the money.
But for Qiao Lei's sake, she will definitely help the Qiao family. This will be much easier than Qiao's mother working hard on her own.
Qiao's mother and her new partner could not coexist peacefully. Neither side was willing to compromise. In addition, there was a problem with the ingredients, so only two of the original five hot pot restaurants remained.
Later, Qiao's mother took the initiative to negotiate with the new partner, and the two hot pot restaurants belonged to them, and the two mutton hot pot restaurants belonged to the other party.
This shows that Qiao's mother also understood that she had wanted to do business with Gu Qingqing to make it better, but now that Gu Qingqing has quit, there is nothing they can do.
In addition, since Shen Shuyan promised to get food for them, they agreed to let Gu Qingqing transfer the shares.
But this new partner is worse than them. Qiao's mother naturally won't let others take advantage of her, so she took the initiative to split up the family.
The mutton hotpot restaurant needed mutton, which was easy to buy but difficult to process, so they gave the store to the other party.
But Qiao's mother knows how to make red oil and hot pot base. With the base, but no meat, it would be nice to blanch vegetarian dishes, so she chose a spicy hot pot restaurant.
The other party readily agreed and gave them the compensation as requested by Qiao's mother.
Because they were afraid that Qiao's mother would change her mind later, the other party asked the police station and Shen Shuyan to be witnesses.
However, after the separation, Qiao's mother discovered that the owners of the three hot pot restaurants that were transferred out were all her former partners. They also opened spicy hot pot restaurants, and their mutton hot pot restaurants were also doing well.
Only then did Qiao's mother realize that the other party had taken advantage of them and forced them to separate. This made her very angry, but now that the family had separated, she had no place to curse.
However, Qiao's mother and father own a courtyard in the capital and two hot pot restaurants, so they are considered a middle-class family.
However, Qiao Liang encountered a problem. He exposed Gu Qingqing's home appliance store in front of the police.
He even accidentally let it slip that Gu Qingqing's appliance store was ostensibly for repairing appliances but actually sold them.
In addition, the transactions in the account book were so huge, and the police were not stupid, so how could they not have noticed anything unusual?
But for the sake of Gu Qingshi's family, I didn't pursue the matter.
But they reported the matter to their superiors, and now the police and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau are targeting the home appliance repair shop.
Not long after, Qiao Liang and his group were discovered selling smuggled goods by the police and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
When they went to search their store, Qiao Liang was not there. Xu Yuefei was quite smart and ran away through the back door.
Although they didn't catch the people, they searched them because they saw that they had just received some goods.
We actually found a lot of smuggled goods, including quite a few high-end watches.
The owner ran away and was not caught, so the store was sealed off.
Xu Yuefei and Qiao Liang didn't care. It was closed, so what? They couldn't get their things back anyway, and the shop was still rented.
The two men went to buy smuggled goods again to sell on retail, but this time they had no luck.
He was caught red-handed by the police during the transaction, and was later rescued by Shen Shuyan.
Later, Shen Shuyan wanted to use Lin Shaoyang to let Qiao Liang and others become the second-level agents of Chu Tingnan's company.
However, Chu Tingnan rejected him. If it was just Qiao Liang, there wouldn't be any problem, as Qiao Liang seemed like an honest man.
But Xu Yuefei is not honest. He is used to the high-profit dividends of smuggled goods, and he might think that the profit here is low and the money comes slowly.
If we end up selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton, it will be troublesome if we destroy their reputation and may even implicate them.
They went through a lot of effort to obtain the agency rights for these home appliances, and the goods are in short supply.
Their second-level agents in the capital have no more than five stores in total, and they are all agents with good character and good connections.
It was impossible for them to have their sign smashed just because of a stranger, not to mention that Qiao Lei took so many things from them.
Now that things have come to this, Shen Shuyan doesn't know what to say anymore. He also knows that Chu Tingnan and his team have lost a batch of goods, and she suspects it was Qiao Lei's work.
Shen Shuyan followed the normal procedures and gave Qiao Liang an appliance store. As for how the business was going, that was none of his business.
