He's not what I thought

It wasn't until after get off work in the evening that Jiang Qi learned from Lu Jinze that the Li family was not only involved in tax issues.

Ever since Brumyue faced bankruptcy, Li Wu began to invest everywhere and seek other means of income.

In the past few years, the Li family relied on the Jiang family and sucked a lot of blood from the Jiang family. Naturally, most of the money Li Wu used to invest came from Li Mingyue.

But in the past few years, Li Mingyue may not be very clear about what Li Wu is doing.

Lu Jinze said that Li Wu may be involved in a crime.

However, Lu Jinze did not tell Jiang Qi what specific crime he was suspected of.

Lu Jinze didn't say anything, and Jiang Qi didn't ask.

He guessed that it might be something rather dirty, but with Jiang Qi's understanding of Li's family, Li Wu alone should not be able to do nothing to cause unnecessary trouble for himself, and he may also be deceived up.

However, Jiang Qi didn't sympathize with Li's family at all. Whether he did what he did or was cheated by others, it was none of his business.

This incident was naturally revealed by Lu Jinze, but Lu Jinze is worthy of being a profiteer, and the matter was done quietly, probably not many people knew that the incident of several members of the Li family being taken away would have something to do with Lu Jinze.

Li Mingyue is the one who cares about face the most. Now everyone in the wife circle knows about her tax evasion, and after being taken by the tax bureau for investigation, she started arguing directly at Jiang's house.

She insisted that this matter must be related to Jiang Qi, and Jiang Shenghua had no choice but to ask Jiang Qi to go back to Jiang's house when he had time.

Jiang Qi didn't intend to be polite with Jiang Shenghua this time, he didn't come alone, so he called Lu Jinze directly.

That day was not a day off, so Lu Jinze put aside what he was doing and accompanied Jiang Qi to the Jiang Mansion.

Originally, the family ugliness was not publicized, Jiang Shenghua only planned to ask Jiang Qi secretly, but unexpectedly Lu Jinze followed Jiang Qi into the door, which made Jiang Shenghua startled: "Jinze, why are you here?"

Lu Jinze was wearing a dark gray suit, wrapped in a windbreaker, with a calm expression on his face: "I'll come with Jiang Qi."

Jiang Shenghua was a little surprised.

He could actually feel that the relationship between Jiang Qi and Lu Jinze was not very good when they first got married, but the marriage was arranged by Mr. Jiang, and Jiang Shenghua never cared much about it.

There are many people in commercial marriages around him. Even Jiang Shenghua himself married Li Mingyue because the Li family was more valuable than Su Zhiqin, who was born in a small city and rural area and started from scratch.

Anyway, feelings are the least important thing for businessmen like them.

But now Jiang Shenghua vaguely felt that he seemed to have something wrong.

Jiang Shenghua was still very polite to Lu Jinze, he immediately asked them to sit down and asked someone to pour hot tea for them.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong today, just...Jinze, see if there's anything I can do to help you with your mother-in-law..."

"Dad," Jiang Qi said next to him, "Lu Jinze may not be as capable as you, so don't bother him with everything."

Jiang Qi said this with a bit of sarcasm.

But it's not all lies. As long as Li Mingyue doesn't get involved like Li Wu, it's just some taxes, and it's fine to make up for it. At most, a fine will be fined, and it won't cause any big trouble. Jiang Shenghua wants to run around to clear the relationship. It can be done by coming forward, without Lu Jinze's help.

Besides, this kind of thing is disgraceful after all, Lu Jinze doesn't think it's troublesome, but Jiang Qi is afraid that he won't be able to get rid of it if his hands get wet.

Jiang Shenghua's expression was a bit sad, maybe because Lu Jinze was here, he couldn't say anything harsh to Jiang Qi, so he said, "Can't you say a few words less?"

Jiang Qidao: "Dad, I know that you came to me today to ask questions. Don't be embarrassed to say it in front of Lu Jinze. I'll tell you the truth. Now my mother's company is being tossed like this by you. I guess I won't be able to get it back, I can't just forget what Li Mingyue did to me, you'd better be prepared, she may have to be taken to cooperate with the investigation after a while."

Jiang Shenghua's heart tightened: "What do you mean by that?"

"Father-in-law, it's like this," Lu Jinze said from the side, "I have some documents here, you can take a look."

"It's mainly about the mother-in-law's brothers."

"At present, Uncle Li Wu has been taken by the police to investigate. The suspicion is mainly related to his own business. I don't ask, but some of the things he did to Jiang Qi in the past two years may be involved in commercial crimes. We plan to These relevant materials were submitted to the police."

"This..." Jiang Shenghua quickly opened the file and looked at it, "Jinze, what do you mean? We are all a family, why do you do things so badly?"

"I'm afraid I'm not the one who did the best job," Lu Jinze said calmly, with no expression on his face, "I have seen everything they have done to Jiang Qi over the years. Darling, I'm afraid I'm going to have a lawsuit with them a long time ago."

"You also know that Zhiqin has always been the painstaking effort of Jiang Qi's mother. Jiang Qi's only wish for so many years is to bring Zhiqin back and take good care of it. Now, seeing that the restaurants he runs are gradually improving. It’s on the right track, but they’ve got dirty water one after another. Jiang Qi is your son. You don’t feel sorry for me. Now the evidence has been collected. In order for Jiang Qi to sleep soundly in the future, I have to do it with them this time. It's over."

Lu Jinze spoke indifferently in a gentle tone: "Father-in-law, I came here with Jiang Qi this time, not to discuss with you, but to inform you in advance, so that you can be mentally prepared."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shenghua still didn't understand, "What did Li Mingyue do?"

"In order to prevent Jiang Qi from sharing Jiang Ziyu's property, she did everything possible, seriously affecting Jiang Qi's work and life."

Jiang Shenghua was silent.

Jiang Qi said from the side: "Dad, believe it or not, I have never really thought about the Jiang family in these years. My mother's company is about to disappear... Do you still remember when my mother took me back to the Jiang family?" How did I tell you that? She left the company to me in the first place! Now because of tax issues, Li Mingyue has to be fined a lot. After such a toss, the company is bound to continue to suffer greatly. You don’t need to think about it. I will continue to follow the old path of Brumaire."

"Now I don't want any other business at hand, and I will return it to you. I don't want Zhiqin anymore. I just hope that Li Mingyue won't bother me anymore. I won't grab things with his son, and I'm not in that mood. Now there are more important things to do, and more important people to cherish, and I don’t want her to continue to affect me. That’s all I ask, nothing else.”

After speaking, Jiang Qi stood up and said to Lu Jinze, "Let's go."

Lu Jinze nodded and stood up with Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi turned around, thought for a while, and then stopped and said to Jiang Shenghua: "I know that you were not happy when my mother took me back to the Jiang family. Now I also want to return to a peaceful life. The Jiang family is not suitable for me. , but I still want to thank you for your upbringing in the past few years. You can come to me for anything in the future, but I don’t want to participate in everything about the Jiang family. Whether it is the right of inheritance or the legacy left by grandpa... …I don’t want any of this, you might as well leave it to someone else who does, so be it.”

After speaking, Jiang Qi took Lu Jinze's hand and said, "Let's go home."

Anyway, he has held the most important person to him, as for everything else, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

After Lu Jinze entrusted someone to submit the relevant evidence materials to the police, Li Mingyue was indeed taken away again.

Regardless of whether Li Mingyue was involved in the commercial crimes and unfair competition or not, Zhiqin was seriously hurt this time, and many branches closed down one after another. Seeing that the company was about to fail.

Jiang Qi went to the "Zhiqin" restaurant in Yinxing Plaza when he was free.

Although the store opened opposite the "miracle", Jiang Qi passed by the door countless times, but never went in.

I don't know what kind of mentality it is, maybe I feel sorry, or maybe I don't dare to face it. In short, stepping into a familiar restaurant again, Jiang Qi's mood is extremely complicated.

Unexpectedly, several old employees that Jiang Qi was familiar with, including the chef, were still in the store.

If something happened above, the store would not be affected, some waiters resigned one after another, and the store was short of manpower, and the business would become more and more sluggish.

In addition, when Jiang Qi's mother was there, he would think of new dishes and make some new ideas every now and then. Well maintained, nothing can be done.

Jiang Qi has heard people say "Zhiqin's food is getting more and more unpalatable" and "I won't go there again" in different places more than once, sometimes from the mouths of passers-by, and sometimes on the Internet.

It would be a lie to say that I don't feel sad, but what can I do?

"Little Qi?" Liu Shanshan, the general manager of the store, was sitting at the counter to check the accounts. When she saw Jiang Qi coming in, she said in surprise, "Why are you here? Come and sit down!"

"Sister Liu." Jiang Qi called her.

"Hey!" Liu Shanshan said happily, "Wait a minute, your Uncle Dong is still in the back kitchen, I'll call him over."

Wearing a snow-white chef's uniform and a chef's hat, the chef of the restaurant came out of the back kitchen while wiping his hands. When he saw Jiang Qi, he said happily: "Xiao Qi?!"

"Uncle Dong..." Jiang Qi's nose was a little sore, "How are you doing recently?"

"Fortunately, you are always skilled, so you don't have to worry about a bite to eat, but you, why did you come here suddenly?"

Jiang Qi said: "I'm here to dig you out. The restaurant I opened is just across the street. I wonder if you would like to leave Zhiqin and follow me?"

Liu Shanshan and Chef Dong Lin looked at each other.

"Little Qi," Liu Shanshan thought for a while, and said to Jiang Qi with a smile, "It doesn't matter to us, after all, we are all part-time workers, the most is to get less wages, so we won't be hungry. This is not your mother's shop." Do you still need manpower?"

"My mother is gone," Jiang Qi said in a low voice, "Now you are the only ones left in the store, you come to my place, we will reopen the new restaurant, it's all the same, I won't treat you badly, I know you It's for my sake, I'm not like before, I'm capable of taking care of you, really, you believe me!"

Liu Shanshan hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Really? That stepmother of yours won't make things difficult for you anymore, will she?"

"No," Jiang Qi said with a smile, "They dare not."

"Then what about your mother's shop? It's fine if I leave. If your Uncle Dong is gone, the food in the shop will really not taste that good."

"Just treat it as a restaurant and change its name. If Uncle Dong comes to me, he will be the chef in the future. I won't treat you badly."

Liu Shanshan thought about it seriously, finally understood, nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Jiang Qi looked at Dong Lin: "What about you, Uncle Dong?"

"It's an honor to be the head chef of our Xiaoqi Restaurant!" Dong Lin laughed boldly.

Jiang Qi also smiled and let out a sigh of relief.
