Zhuang Mingming's eyes widened, "Mom, tell me quickly."
Mrs. Zhuang sneered, but before she could speak, she received a call.
He growled in shock, "What did you say? Is there a mistake?"
"Mom...what's wrong?" Zhuang Mingming didn't quite understand why Mrs. Zhuang's expression suddenly changed. Looking at Mrs. Zhuang's emotional look, Zhuang Mingming had a bad premonition.
"Damn! There is something wrong with our English class!" Mrs. Zhuang hung up the phone irritably. "This month's expenses are more than 200,000 yuan, and the rent is more than 100,000 yuan. The teachers have also resigned, including foreign teachers.
Demanding a salary."
"Mom... isn't the English class very prosperous?" Zhuang Mingming was a little dizzy.
Mrs. Zhuang founded a children’s English training chain brand.
There are also franchise stores in other cities, with three branches in the capital city of China alone.
Mrs. Zhuang has always been proud of the success of her English class, and she stands out among a group of ladies who only know how to eat, drink, play and spend money.
Therefore, Zhuang Mingming always thought that the children's English training brand run by his mother was very good and excellent.
"What's so popular? It's all for publicity. It's fake! You lied to your dad and those stupid ladies!" Mrs. Zhuang was so anxious that she was running around. "What's going on now! The franchisee can't make any money, so he's asking for a refund.
They also asked for a deposit and a return of the franchise fee. Foreign teachers are also asking for salary."
So annoying!
She paid a lot of money to bring those foreign teachers back from abroad, and there were at least three foreign teachers in each franchise store. However, since three months ago, the entire brand including the headquarters has been suffering from poor management, not only losing money every month, but also the foreign teachers.
Our high wages cannot be paid anymore.
Mrs. Zhuang was too embarrassed to tell Father Zhuang, so she could only suffer bigger and bigger losses.
She spent a lot of her own pocket money on it, but she still couldn't save this brand that had problems with its business methods from the beginning.
"Mom... don't worry, why don't you ask dad for a few million and ask him to help you turn around?" Zhuang Mingming didn't understand business matters at all.
If something goes wrong in her mind, she has to go to her father or her mother. This idea is almost ingrained in her mind.
"Your dad will beat me to death. That's more than just a few million? Do you know that the franchisees paid 880,000 for the franchise fee alone? There is also a deposit of 660,000! Fifty-six franchisees across the country are all here to come.
What should I do if I need money? How can I afford so much money?"
Mrs. Zhuang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Zhuang Mingming was helpless and she couldn't help her mother at all. The only thing she could do was to take out her mobile phone and search online. >
The result is that if you don’t search, you won’t know, but if you search, you will be shocked.
In the past three months, many franchisees of the children's English training brand founded by Mrs. Zhuang have gone bankrupt due to poor management. Some of the franchisees have gone bankrupt, and many have run away.
He took away the tuition fees from his parents and ran away.
this……
No matter how stupid Zhuang Mingming is, he knows how bad it is to run away.
She has been well-fed and well-clothed since she was born, even though Father Zhuang was very strict and did not give her hundreds of thousands of pocket money a month to squander.
But at any rate, she still had 100,000 yuan of pocket money a month and lived a very comfortable life.
She also saw many posts and complaints about parents' rights protection. She swallowed her saliva and said, "Mom... how about... I give you the hundreds of thousands of pocket money I saved. You take it and refund it to those parents first."
A little fee.”
"What can hundreds of thousands be used for? It's just a drop in the bucket." Mrs. Zhuang said irritably. When the children's English training was first established, there were quite a lot of franchisees because of a lot of investment. It was true that a wave of money was made, but that money
Almost all of them were used by her to buy luxury goods. Not only did she buy luxury goods, she also went to a gambling city to gamble heavily.
I lost tens of millions overnight.
She didn't dare to tell anyone, so she could only keep the secret silently.
Although she never dared to gamble again, the training class had no cash flow.
Zhuang Mingming grimaced, "But it's better than not getting a dime at all. Look, how painful it is for the parents of those franchisees who ran away."
Mrs. Zhuang glanced at her and said, "When did you become so kind?"
Zhuang Mingming didn't say anything, just stared at the post on his phone, "Mom, you are my biological mother. If I don't help you, who will I help? You will become a bad guy later, and you will affect dad."
It will also affect me...
Zhuang Mingming didn't dare to say such selfish words.
Just when the mother and daughter were struggling, the issue of children's English training classes running away from various affiliate stores across the country was directly searched by rights-defending parents.
Many parents have left messages and insults.
There are also many collective letters and lawsuits signed by them.
Including many rights protection procedures and behaviors.
In particular, the phone calls of various regulatory authorities are almost inundated with angry and anxious parents.
They are all ordinary people, ordinary parents. The tuition fee of 20,000 yuan a year for children's English is not a small number.
Head.
Especially since there are so many of them, one franchise store has at least hundreds of students and hundreds of parents who have been victimized.
"If it goes bankrupt, we can go bankrupt, but if it goes bankrupt, why won't our tuition be refunded?"
"Yesterday they were still advertising charges, and today they are closing the store and running away. This is a scam!"
"You have lost money in business, why should we ordinary people bear your losses?"
“This kid’s English is so bad!”
"Sue them, we must sue them and refund our tuition fees!"
There are at least several thousand of these victimized parents, and they are suspected of being defrauded of at least tens of millions in tuition fees.
Mrs. Zhuang's head was buzzing when she saw the terms hanging on the hot searches on the social platform.
It’s over!
It’s all over!
She is just providing English training for children. How come the direct training becomes like this?
Almost all parents across the country are attacking the franchise store and her, the person in charge of the headquarters.
Even though it was late at night, her phone was still buzzing with calls.
Not only that, the phone numbers of her assistant and the Children's English headquarters were also buzzed.
The company's senior executives kept calling her, "Mrs. Zhuang, now the franchise store requires the return of deposits and tuition refunds to parents. What should you do now?"
"Mrs. Zhuang, there is no money in our financial account at all."
"What should we do now? They also want the franchise fee to be refunded."
"Parents are defending their rights like crazy."
In the end, Mrs. Zhuang was so angry that she turned off the phone.
But as soon as he turned off his phone, Zhuang Mingming's phone was bombarded with calls again.
Zhuang's father was outside socializing. He hurried home after hearing about this incident. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the pale-faced mother and daughter of Zhuang Mingming.
"Husband--" Mrs. Zhuang seemed to have seen a savior. She just stood up from the sofa.
Father Zhuang strode over, raised his hand and slapped her, "You're going to piss me off! Where did you do all that money? The franchise fee and the deposit! And the tuition commission! Where did you do it?
Already?"
"I...I..." Mrs. Zhuang covered her burning face but did not dare to say a word.
She lowered her eyes to cover her guilty conscience, and after a while she said, "The company spends so much every month. The water and electricity bills alone are hundreds of thousands, and the employees' salaries, I... you name it, I use all the money."
Where did it go? It’s a lot of money just to pay wages!”
"Don't let me find you lying in the end, or you'll eat it for me Don't go around in circles!" Father Zhuang said and gave her another slap in the face to relieve his anger.
Mrs. Zhuang was so painful that stars were popping out of her eyes. If she was beaten like this normally, she would definitely feel aggrieved.
But now she still had to use money to make up for her shortfall, so she had to endure the pain and beg Zhuang's father, "Husband, please help me! Give me some funds from Zhuang's money, and let me appease the troubled parents.
Yes, and those franchise stores..."
"Do you think you can get away with tens of millions?" Zhuang's father was even more angry. "The company will fill the hole for you for no reason, and the shareholders of the company will agree? Those shareholders of your English training class
Now I’m looking for you like crazy!”
When Mrs. Zhuang heard that Father Zhuang was not going to help her, she became even more panicked.
"Husband, Mr. Zhuang is so rich, only tens of millions..."
Father Zhuang's face turned livid with anger, "Is tens of millions a small amount? Do you think my money came from the strong wind? I used the company's money to fill your hole, and the company will hold me responsible. I call it embezzlement of public funds.
Understand?"
"But...am I really going to become a deadbeat, unable to even fly?" Mrs. Zhuang felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, and her whole body was freezing cold.
Seeing her in such pain, Father Zhuang took out a bank card and threw it in her face, "I have two million here, you can use it for emergencies first."
"What is two million enough for?" Mrs. Zhuang cried bitterly, "It's not enough to fill the gap between her teeth!"
"If you don't want to, you don't even have this!" Father Zhuang stared at her coldly, as if he was staring at his enemy.
What he actually didn't tell Mrs. Zhuang was that the financial power of the Zhuang family now fell into the hands of his son Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan helped the company make a lot of money and received a lot of dividends.
And with solemn and decisive decisions, the company has reached a higher level.
And now he, the nominal chairman, can't compare to his son's solemn authority in the company.
If Zhuang Yan takes out the money...
Thinking of this, his face darkened and he said, "You can go find Zhuang Yan, he should have money in his hand. If not, you can sell two properties under your name to meet emergency needs."
"Real estate? That is my property. What will I do if I sell it? Will I still have a status in this family in the future? I have become a shell lady!"
Mrs. Zhuang screamed uncontrollably, "You actually asked me to seek Zhuangyan, and you actually asked me to sell the property. Why are you so cruel!"
She has four or five properties under her name, including large flats, apartments, and a villa.
Now that house prices are so high, she should be able to sell two houses, but how can she sell a house? It is her lifeblood!
