Chapter 010: Making Preparations Before the Rain

Zhengyi Fu has been contemplating this matter these days, and he further added that if this batch of goods is sent back and the other party still refuses to settle the case, then it would be necessary to discuss terms with them. I have already returned all the items, and at worst, I can compensate you for the breach of contract according to the previously signed agreement. This is certainly better than losing the entire 150,000.

Generally, a five-star international hotel is unaffordable for most people, but this three-star hotel is also beyond the means of a student. Therefore, I simply waited outside for another half an hour. As a result, after entering, Fu Zhengyi did not come out again, leaving the taxi driver puzzled as he turned around and left.

Fu Zhengming had been deceived by his cousin for so many days, living in fear to the point that his mouth had developed blisters. When Fu Zhengming finally emerged from the kitchen and stood in front of him, he immediately gave him two hard slaps on the backside, which finally eased his anger

Similar to the previous life, a light truck was parked in the freight yard. After finding the driver, Fu Zhengyi, to verify the pickup procedures and checking that the cargo owner's seal on the truck was intact, he instructed the driver to cover the tarpaulin again

On a hot summer day, there was no air conditioning in the car. After getting out, Fu Zhengyi felt his legs had turned to jelly, and he staggered as he walked

Unexpectedly, Fu Zhengyi, who had specifically come to the South City Branch, was caught, which left him quite frustrated. However, he could not avoid providing an explanation in the current situation

What was said makes a lot of sense, but after having been deceived by this cousin once before, Fu Mingting now had a mindset of once bitten, twice shy. She stared at the remittance slip for a long time before finally remembering to ask him why it was still necessary to send money to the other party, and why the amount was so large

He transferred the money to the Northern Focus column group and, after confirming the time and place for the meeting in Yunnan Province's Xishuangbanna City once again, paid a call to his maternal uncle's wife. He arranged a place to meet and took some money with him, retrieving the IOU in person. He placed the principal amount of 90,000 and the interest for one year in front of his maternal uncle's wife, then immediately headed to the post office to apply for a home internet connection. After returning home, he waited for a call from the freight station regarding the pickup, and only then did he ride his bicycle to the freight yard.

The inexplicable driver remained motionless, so Fu Zhengyi took out 1,000 yuan in cash and handed it over, demanding that the driver immediately return to the original route after taking the money. "Deliver these goods to the second freight station in Xishuangbanna, I will be there to inspect the goods and settle the freight charges!"

As long as the 150,000 is not lost, no matter how much profit Zhengyi makes, Uncle will not feel envious; he will only be happy that the son of the third brother, Taiwen, has achieved success.

Although paid news was not known to the public in 1994, some unspoken rules of interviewing by news organizations were still known to Fu Zhengyi

It takes sixty to reach the Jinling Hotel in the city center of Jinling

While chatting with the driver on the road and inquiring about the locations of the famous snack shops in Jinling City, Fu Zhengyi ultimately noticed that the driver would occasionally glance at the rearview mirror, his expression revealing an unresolved confusion and peculiarity. Thus, he began to question whether there was something amiss with himself

Seeing the money, the driver’s expression softened, but then he began to complain. "Little boss, I have already arranged to transport a return load with this vehicle. When I brought the goods over, the owner on that side did not mention that there would be someone here to continue renting my vehicle!"

He transferred all the remaining funds, except for a small amount, to his savings card. Then, he took a glance at the large room he had rented before heading directly to the ticket booking office, where he purchased a ticket for the earliest flight to Yun Province the following day

After pulling the driver to the freight station office and signing a formal transportation agreement, Guanzhao reminded the driver not to drive while fatigued. Only then did he get on the vehicle and head directly to the long-distance bus station, where he purchased a ticket and set off for Jinling.

Last time, I was persuaded by this cousin, and this time, I did not notice anything amiss until the end, which indeed left Fu Mingtian in a bit of a dilemma

Although he was staying in a three-star hotel, after entering his room on the ninth floor, Fu Zhengyi watched the taxi leave through the window, thinking that even though it was only 1994, it seems that the bad habit of judging people by their appearance is not unique to the twenty-first century

However, with the money to pay for justice, one will naturally not treat oneself poorly

Only the challenge posed by my cousin Fu Mingting is not easy to overcome. She was deceived by herself and has been scolded by Fu Zhengming for so many days. Just now, her heart felt as if it had suddenly soared to the sky and then plummeted back to the ground. However, Fu Mingting, who was quite frightened, twisted Fu Zhengyi's ear until it turned red, and then she embraced him tightly, laughing and crying at the same time

The condition of the vehicle is poor, the road conditions are poor, and the smell inside the vehicle is even worse

If you go directly to the airport, the fare is 120

Breaking away from the crowd of solicitors, he found a relatively new taxi and inquired about the fare, which still took him by surprise.

The fraudulent company in Yunnan Xishuangbanna reported the case under the pretext of his parents' fraud, which led to his parents being detained in a detention center. Therefore, to avoid the loss of 150,000, the only option is to return the worthless goods sent by the other party intact. This way, not only can the fraud charges against his parents be invalidated, but it can also provide solid evidence of the other party's fraudulent actions

As soon as the long-distance bus began to drop off passengers, the owners of the tricycles and motorcycles gathered around the parking lot in a rush. The taxis parked at a distance did not need to solicit passengers, yet the fares they offered were still quite high

The stocks purchased by Fu Zhengyi on Thursday, after being liquidated the following day, resulted in his account balance reaching as much as 1,260,000.

Fu Zhengyi, who was being watched by Fu Mingting, nodded without hesitation, yet felt quite uncomfortable inside. In his previous life, his cousin Fu Mingting had trusted him immensely; whatever he said, she believed. How could it be that just a little over a week after his rebirth, his kind-hearted cousin had become so distrustful of him?

Without pausing, Fu Zhengyi went to the Chengnan branch of Hanzhou Commercial Bank, filled out a remittance form, and prepared to proceed to the counter for processing

Hu Yaguo issued a note, and Fu Zhengyi went downstairs to find Yin Chengjun, asking him to take him to the counter. He withdrew 10,000 cash on the spot, which he immediately used to settle the rental fees for the large account room until the end of the year.

By chance, Fu Mingting, who came here to handle some business, saw someone filling out a form in the lobby from a distance, and it looked like Fu Zhengyi. She walked over to take a closer look and confirmed it was indeed him. Quietly standing behind him, she glanced at the amount on the remittance slip, her face turning pale with shock. She suddenly grabbed the remittance slip from behind him, pulling Fu Zhengyi to a corner of the lobby, pointing at the account number and the organization on the document, and questioning him about the reason.

Because these fraudulent companies exploit the time difference; as soon as you sign that contract, they will immediately dispatch a vehicle to deliver the goods. In this way, even if someone wants to back out, the other party can report it as fraud using the signed contract. Generally, in order to leave the detention center, a person has no choice but to hurriedly remit the money while holding their nose.

The shipping cost from over there is 3,000. If you return these goods intact, I will give you a total shipping fee of 4,000

The remittance unit on the remittance slip is the Northern Focus Column Preparation Group

Seeing that Fu Zhengyi's response was well-organized, Fu Zhengming's previously furrowed brows finally relaxed

Sister, that is the Northern Focus program team. I merely mentioned it over the phone. They receive an overwhelming number of calls every day, and if it were a false message, they would need to expend considerable effort and money to verify it. Therefore, they can only ensure that the party providing the lead does not dare to lie in this manner. As long as they send someone to verify the information accurately, the entire amount will still be refunded to me

Perhaps sensing that Fu Zhengyi's mood was somewhat low, Fu Mingtong stood up and comforted him with a smile. "Little brother, the reason I ask you this is for your own good. As long as you don't act recklessly, I absolutely trust you!"

The reason I took the funds and fled is right here. Once the money is transferred to the other company's account, it becomes impossible to retrieve it. Therefore, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure, intercepting the funds for a week. This way, I could wait for the delivery truck to arrive in Hangzhou City, and then I would instruct that truck to immediately return to Banna City. I would then receive the goods there and negotiate with that company, which would allow me to bring my parents back home

How do you know that the scam company has shipped the goods

Upon reaching the third floor, I found Hu Yaguo's office. Fu Zhengyi requested his assistance and granted him a privilege, allowing him to withdraw the funds from his account on the same day

Younger brother, I do not understand the complexities of this matter, and I cannot determine whether what you say is true or false. I will ask you one question: is everything you are doing in order to bring your parents safely back home?

Although he was facing his uncle, Fu Zhengyi knew that the person he actually needed to persuade was his cousin Fu Zhengming. Therefore, without waiting for Fu Zhengming to ponder the details, he laid out the plan in full.

Thus, he had no choice but to inform his cousin that the Focus program was currently collecting information on the phenomenon of new sales models that were, in fact, perpetrating fraud. He contacted the production team of the program, who were quite indignant about his parents' situation. They expressed their willingness to send someone to accompany him to that company for an interview and filming. If that company was indeed committing fraud, the influence of the Northern Focus program would be significant, and it was possible that he could recover his funds without any loss and successfully bring his parents back.

The Jinling Hotel, established in 1994, is not only a foreign-related five-star luxury hotel but also the tallest building in the city of Jinling, renowned both domestically and internationally

Fu Zhengyi, who had long prepared his statement, claimed that a classmate of his had encountered a similar incident, but the other party only wanted money. Therefore, although it now appeared that his parents were detained in a detention center under the pretext of fraud, as long as he brought money with him, he would surely be able to safely bring his parents back.

The interview deposit of 100,000 yuan, although it is somewhat less than 150,000 yuan, would still be a significant loss if it were to disappear

The painful cries of Fu Zhengyi, on the contrary, brought a sense of relief, for such punishment does not signify a beginning, but rather announces the conclusion of the punishment

Regarding the substantial profits earned in the stock market, Fu Zhengyi firmly asserted that it was due to his good luck and the assistance of fate, which successfully convinced the not easily swayed Fu Zhengming.

After bumping along the road for four hours, Fu Zhengyi finally realized that taking a long-distance bus in this era is akin to committing suicide

It is clear that he does not appear to be someone who often goes out, and in 1994, the taxis near the station were all grouped together to solicit passengers. Once one taxi quoted a price, all the other taxis would follow suit, making negotiation impossible. Therefore, he directly agreed and paid the fare, getting into the car and instructing the driver to take him to the Jinling Hotel in the city center

The driver of the car curled his lips, and after dropping him off at the location, he saw him enter a nearby three-star hotel, which made the taxi driver even more curious

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhengyi understood the reason, touched his nose, and thought to himself that it was indeed the case. He then laughed and said that he could not afford to live there either

Upon hearing this, the driver was delighted. He realized that he would not even receive 1,500 for the goods, but by returning the same way, he could earn an additional 2,000 or more. Overjoyed, with a broad smile, he confidently patted his chest and guaranteed that he would return as quickly as possible

Uncle Fu Taidao has always been prudent. Although he didn't say much on the surface, when Zhengyi was taken care of, he pointed to the stool in front of him and asked him to sit down and start explaining.

A few days ago, he began to reach out to the news media. The major newspapers in the north either showed no interest in what he had to say or demanded exorbitant sponsorship fees. Therefore, after much consideration, he ultimately decided to focus on a specific column group, which required only that he guarantee the authenticity of the events he described. In that case, he would only need to pay an interview deposit to have someone assigned to follow up on the events.

At first glance, you are clearly a student. If you want to say you are going to the city, do not mention that you are staying at the Jinling Hotel. Not to mention you as a student, even those big bosses who frequently travel do not dare to say they can stay there

To cover up is to make the truth even more apparent, which instead makes the sense of justice feel even more blocked.
