"Brother Chao, I will help you find a way to prevent you from staying in there for too long," Xue Chen said. He believed that with his relationship with Lin Xiongtian and Lin Xirong, he should be able to resolve this matter.
Xue Chao sighed deeply and did not take Xue Chen's words to heart. He only regarded them as comforting himself. Although he knew that his cousin had some status in Haicheng City and had many powerful friends, this was Sunan City after all...
…
At this time, the policeman supervising on the side looked at his watch and said impatiently: "Okay, the time is up, you should leave."
"Mom and Dad, you must take care of yourself. Your son is unfilial and can no longer take care of you." Xue Chao couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Son, don't say such things, everything will be fine." Aunt Xue Chen grabbed Xue Chao's hand and started crying, as if she was parting from life or death.
After a lot of effort, Xue Chen and Xu Deji helped the second elder, who was almost limp, out of the police station. After sitting in the car, the second elder was still in tears and in pain, and kept chanting Xue Chao's name.
After driving to a hotel nearby and arranging for the two elders to stay, Xue Chen told Xu Deji to take care of the two elders: "Deji, you stay and take care of your uncle and aunt, while I go out to do some errands."
"Okay, Brother Chen, go ahead."
After leaving the hotel, Xue Chen returned to his car. After taking a deep breath, he took out his mobile phone and called: "Hello, is this Mr. Lin? I'm Xue Chen..."
After putting down the phone, he drove to a coffee shop in the city. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw Lin Xiongtian arriving.
On the phone, Xue Chen had already briefly talked about Xue Chao's affairs with Lin Xiongtian. After the two of them sat down, Lin Xiongtian said straightforwardly: "As for the company's purchaser being reported for taking kickbacks, I just heard about it.
He said, I’m not sure about the specifics, but I didn’t expect it to be your cousin. In this case, I will instruct the people below to go to the Public Security Bureau tomorrow to cancel the case and release the person.”
Xue Chen took a breath and said very embarrassedly: "Mr. Lin, my brother did something wrong indeed. I am very grateful to you for being generous. I can guarantee double compensation for the losses he caused to the company."
compensation to make up for it.”
Lin Xiongtian waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "There is no need for compensation, but the impact of this incident within the company is not very good. Your brother will definitely not be able to stay at Tianyun Jewelry."
"I understand this. Even if Mr. Lin doesn't tell me, my brother won't have the face to stay." Xue Chen nodded.
After the two talked for a while, Lin Xiongtian stood up and prepared to leave. He said with a faint smile: "Xirong should have told you that the beginning of next month will be her birthday."
"Well, I already know. I will definitely go. Goodbye, Mr. Lin." Xue Chen stood up and walked out of the coffee shop with Lin Xiongtian, watching him get into the car and leave.
After returning to the hotel, Xue Chen went to his uncle and aunt's room and saw Xu Deji sitting there comforting them. The two old men looked tired and sad.
Seeing Xue Chen come back, Xue Hongxi took out a bankbook and said: "Xiao Chen, your aunt and I don't understand what's going on here. Here is 80,000 yuan. Please take it and find it for Xiao Chao."
Find a way, even if you can't be acquitted, even if you get a year or two less sentence, it would be good."
Xue Chen sat aside and pushed the bankbook back: "Uncle, I just went out to see the person in charge of the company where Brother Chao works. If nothing happens, Brother Chao will be fine."
"Really? Xiaochen, aren't you comforting us?" Xue Hongxi heard Xue Chen say this, and felt dubious, staring at Xue Chen nervously and uneasily.
The same was true for the eldest aunt and Xu Deji, both looking at Xue Chen eagerly.
"How dare I talk nonsense about such a big matter? You should rest first. You will find out when you go to the police station tomorrow."
The next day, a group of four people arrived at the police station early. When they saw the police officer in charge of the case, the first words they heard made the two elders almost collapse to the ground with excitement.
"The case has been withdrawn. You can take the people away."
Soon, Xue Chao, who was pale and in a daze, was brought over. After standing in front of several people, the handcuffs were also taken off.
Xue Chao felt like he was in a dream. When he heard the police told him that the case had been withdrawn and that he had been acquitted and could leave, he almost couldn't believe it. He didn't know it until he saw the handcuffs being taken off.
This is real, not my imagination!
Xue Hongxi and his wife both ran over, held Xue Chao's hand tightly, and stretched out their hands to touch Xue Chao's face: "Son, you finally came out, everything is fine."
Xue Chao's lips were trembling and he couldn't say a word with excitement.
After leaving the police station, Xue Chao also learned the reason from his parents' mouths. It was Xue Chen who opened up the relationship with his company and asked the people from Tianyun Jewelry to go to the police station to cancel the case. He suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.
Thousands of unspeakable tastes surged into my heart, sour and painful.
It was precisely because he went to Haicheng City and received a lot of stimulation that he resolutely broke up with his girlfriend, and the kickbacks became even more severe, leading to what he is today, but he knew very well that all of this was
He asked for it, and he couldn't blame Xue Chen. If he wanted to blame it, he could only blame himself.
Standing in front of the police station gate, basking in the warm morning sunshine, Xue Chao felt as if two years had passed since he was detained for two days. Now he felt like he was reborn. He turned to look at Xue Chen:
"Xiaochen, I really don't know how to thank you."
Xue Chen patted Xue Chao on the shoulder: "As a family, don't say these words. Go back to the hotel to take a shower, change clothes, and have a good rest. We can talk about anything later."
After returning to the hotel room, Xue Chen called his family and told his elders that Xue Chao was fine, because he knew that his parents must also be worried.
"Brother Chen, why did Tianyun Jewelry let Brother Chao off so easily? How did you tell them? Did you pay them?" Xu Deji asked curiously.
Xue Chao, who was lying on the bed to rest after taking a bath, and the two old men sitting beside the bed also looked at Xue Chen, wondering how Xue Chen did it.
"I know Lin Xiongtian from Tianyun Jewelry, and I am a good friend with his daughter, which is why it went so smoothly. I planned to compensate, but Mr. Lin refused." Xue Chen said.
"Wow, no wonder Brother Chao came out of the police station so smoothly. It turns out that you know the boss of the company where Brother Chao works. Brother Chen, you have so many friends, and they are all big businessmen." Xu Deji said with envy.
He looked at Xue Chen with admiration and said.
Hearing that Xue Chen actually knew Lin Xiongtian, Xue Chao moved the corner of his mouth and sighed secretly. He finally realized clearly in his heart that he was nothing compared with his cousin. It was ridiculous that he was always comparing himself to others.
, I don’t want to be surpassed in any way. In the end, I still rely on Xue Chen to stay safe. Otherwise, I may face several years of prison life.
Xue Chen turned to look at Xue Chao, "Brother Chao, you will definitely not be able to go back to Tianyun Jewelry."
"I understand." Xue Chao thought for a while and sighed: "I plan to go home and rest for a few days, and then come out to find a new job and start from scratch."
"Do you plan to go back to Sunan City to find a job?" Xue Chen then asked.
Xue Chao shook his head. Friends around him would definitely know that he was in the Public Security Bureau for taking kickbacks. They might not know what they thought of him. He no longer had the face to stay in Sunan City, and he didn't want to stay in this place that hurt him so much.
"Brother Chao, if you are willing, I have a job for you now." Xue Chen thought that Xue Chao needed to find a job again, and suddenly remembered that he was lacking a helper to handle the matter of opening an antique branch, and Xue Chao
Simply the perfect choice.
There is no doubt about Xue Chao's ability. He has been a buyer for several years and has dealt with all kinds of people. His communication skills and work ability are absolutely no problem. Moreover, he is his own family, so he feels more at ease.
"Xiaochen, are you going to arrange a job for me?" Xue Chao asked in surprise.
Xue Hongxi and his wife were surprised and happy to see that Xue Chen was looking for a job for their son.
"I'll tell you about the situation first. If you like it, that's fine. If you don't like it, that's okay."
As soon as Xue Chen finished speaking, Xue Hongxi asked: "Xiao Chen, do you mean to let your brother Chao be the store manager after the antique store opens?"
"As long as my brother Chao is competent and willing to do it, there will be no problem." Xue Chen said with certainty.
Xue Hongxi saw Xue Chao sitting silently aside, and thought he was unwilling, so he hurriedly said: "Xiao Chao, you are talking. Are you still unwilling? What a great job Xiaochen has arranged for you."
Hearing his father's urging, Xue Chao's mouth twitched. How could he not be willing? He already had a hundred wishes in his heart!
Being the manager of an antique store sounds much more prestigious than being a buyer, and the salary offered is much higher than the basic salary of a buyer. This is a good job that you can't find just by looking at it.
He didn't rush to express his position because he no longer knew how to speak, because he felt that he owed Xue Chen too much. He had already taken himself out of the police station and had to arrange a job for himself. How could he have anything?
Accept it with a face?
Seeing Xue Chao's embarrassed look, Xue Chen could vaguely guess what he was thinking, smiled, and said: "Brother Chao, the preparations for opening a branch are still very tedious and tiring, and I can't separate them.
I need your help."
Hearing what Xue Chen said, Xue Chao breathed a sigh of relief and made up his mind and said: "Okay, I'll do it! Don't worry, Xiaochen, I will definitely handle the matter of opening the branch properly, and there won't be any mistakes."
"Xiao Chao, your brother Chen has helped our family a lot. You must do your best to help Xiao Chen open the antique shop." Xue Hongxi instructed.
Xu Deji chuckled at the side: "It's good now, everything has been solved, the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up." (To be continued)
