He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 344 Zhang Kaiqi

"What kind of trouble?"

"The money... the accounts with Angel City won't be settled for another two weeks. I'll lend you 200 million, and I'll pay you back at the end of this month."

I frowned and looked at Li Qing: "If it's a matter of money, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to bring me along."

Li Qing sat down next to Qin Lan and took her cousin's hand: "Cousin, tell Tianyi what happened. He's very smart, and he might be able to help you."

Qin Lan was unwilling to speak.

"President Qin, I am Li Qing's friend. You and Li Qing are now in a romantic relationship. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Li Qing."

One sentence reveals the secret between the two people.

Qin Lan and Li Qing both blushed slightly.

Last year, Qin Lan met a very wealthy second-generation heir, and the two got along very well.

I looked at Qin Lan strangely.

"We were just chatting. He has a lot of insights into doing business now, and he knows a lot of big bosses and leaders."

"What, he showed you around?"

Li Qing, who was standing to the side, nodded: "I've accompanied my cousin to several dinner parties he invited. There were big bosses of local shopping malls in Liancheng, as well as government leaders."

"So this man is quite capable."

"Yes, he has connections in both political and business circles, which is far more powerful than Chen Sheng's connections."

What men fear most is doing this. After Li Qing and Chen Sheng divorced, she discovered that any man was better than Chen Sheng, who was in debt.

My eyelids twitched: "What's his name?"

"Zhang Kaiqi's uncle is a leader in the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, and also a seven-star major client of the Liancheng Industrial and Commercial Bank. He has also invested in several large supermarkets in Liancheng and is a shareholder."

"It seems you two know each other very well."

Qin Lan's voice faltered.

"I just want to use his connections to make some investments."

"Please continue."

"Zhang Kaiqi has connections with provincial leaders, so he is very influential in the officialdom of Liancheng City and is also very wealthy. He invests in various large companies, and he can receive hundreds of thousands of yuan in dividends from these companies every year."

After they said that, I became even more curious.

"Can I meet him?"

Qin Lan and Li Qing exchanged glances and nodded: "He invites us to dinner almost every night. At first, we all agreed, but later we felt embarrassed to go anymore. Zhang Kaiqi has a club in Liancheng."

"What's the deal with that 200 million?"

"This whole thing started because of me."

Qin Lan raised her hand and answered, "After talking to him a lot, I would occasionally hear him on the phone saying that he had made a lot of money and received a lot of dividends. Once, I couldn't help but ask him what he did for a living, and he said that he had some spare money, so he invested in various companies to buy shares and received dividends."

"Then you blurted out, 'Could I give you a ride?'"

Qin Lan nodded, feeling very frustrated: "After eating his meals so many times, when I heard that he could get more than 100 million yuan in dividends every month without doing anything, I got carried away."

Then things progressed very quickly.

meet.

Survey.

Investing in the company.

Then I was very surprised: "You mean, you've set your sights on a company? And they just happen to need funding?"

"Yes, I needed to raise 100 million yuan, but I didn't have enough money. Zhang Kaiqi lent me 100 million yuan without even blinking an eye."

"atmosphere."

I gave a thumbs up.

"See? That's what I said back then too."

Qin Lan glared at Li Qing.

Li Qing interjected, "After that, as we got to know each other better, we invested in a few more companies, and the dividends were over 200,000 yuan a month."

"How much money did you invest?"

"Savings, loans, and payments to suppliers—my cousin stopped most of her supply business and invested all the money in stocks. It's already worth 2000 million..."

"So, what problem did you discover?"

"I don't."

Qin Lan shook her head.

Li Qing spoke up instead: "Zhang Kaiqi met Chen Sheng. He mentioned Chen Sheng in a conversation once, praising him for quite a while, and even said he wanted to introduce Chen Sheng to us..."

"What a coincidence? You think there's something wrong with him based on that alone?"

"Zhang Kaiqi asked us to invest in Chen Sheng's company, but I knew that Chen Sheng's company was a shell company. However, he produced six months of bank statements and tax records for Chen Sheng's company to prove that the company was making money."

"Forehead,,,"

"Do you now also think there's something wrong with Zhang Kaiqi?"

Qin Lan pinched Li Qing's nose and said, "You'd rather believe your ex-husband Chen Sheng didn't make a comeback than believe Zhang Kaiqi's identity? Don't worry, I'll never like men again in my life. It'll just be the two of us."

I wanted to laugh but couldn't.

What a complicated and tangled relationship.

Now I understand why Li Qing spoke so resolutely on the phone, yet suddenly agreed to pick up the drunk Chen Sheng.

"Have you talked to Chen Sheng about Zhang Kaiqi?"

"No, I'm afraid he's being too sensitive, and I'm also afraid my cousin's investment will go down the drain."

I testified from the side: "Chen Sheng's company is indeed not making money."

"Yes, Tianyi also lent Chen Sheng several hundred thousand yuan and even set up a supply chain company to help Chen Sheng turn his life around. We went to the provincial capital to talk about the supply chain. We just got back."

"Now it seems that Zhang Kaiqi is 90% a fraud."

Qin Lan panicked when she heard this.

Qin Lan, who made her fortune through honest business practices and relied on a few connections, still fell into the same trap when she met a professional like Zhang Kaiqi.

"What about the 200 million?"

"All the money has been invested in Zhang Kaiqi's side. We forgot that the summer peak season is coming to Angel City, and we don't have enough inventory. We need to stock up."

"Money is not a problem. I was talking to Li Qing in the provincial capital about my plan to invest in your business. It just so happens that you shouldn't give up on your business in Angel City. I'll invest in it."

"Thank you so much. But what about all the money I've invested with Zhang Kaiqi?"

Qin Lan was clearly flustered, her mind a complete mess.

In the end, they still turned their hopeful gaze to me.

When a woman is finally helpless, the first thing she thinks of is a man.

"Tianyi, please help my cousin! She's helped me so much!"

I sat there motionless. This was clearly a well-prepared scheme. Besides Zhang Kaiqi, there were many other players involved, unlike the Tan family mother and daughter who were deceived before.

It's been half a year, and those 2000 million yuan have probably been distributed and disappeared long ago.

It's not that I underestimate Chen Sheng, but the scam has reached the point where it's time for him to pack up and run away. I just don't know what role Chen Sheng played in all of this.

Just then, Qin Lan's phone rang.

Qin Lan took out her phone and gestured for me to look; it was Zhang Kaiqi who had come to make the call.

I nodded and asked her to turn on speakerphone.

"What's that beautiful lady busy with?"

Qin Lan replied casually, "I'm getting ready to make dinner."

"Why bother cooking? Come eat at the club."

"What, who's the big shot at the club today?"

Zhang Kaiqi laughed and said, "You know me well, beautiful Qin. My uncle is here from the provincial capital. Let me introduce you to him."
