Chapter 335 Our family has no shortage of money
Just as Li Mengli was preparing to go home that evening and settle accounts with her younger brother, Li Menghan.
On the other side, Li Menghan was driving his red Ferrari around the campus of Han City University.
He's been in a very good mood these past few days.
Although his father, Li Ze, rejected his investment, his sister lectured him, and even Huo Qian didn't think highly of his project.
However, he himself had 20 million in funds.
He felt that as long as the company was up and running and achieved results, that would be the best proof for everyone.
Moreover, the company is currently short of someone to do administrative work.
Since Huo Qian was unwilling to recommend a female student for him, he would find one himself.
The first person that came to his mind was Fan Xi.
Li Menghan took out her phone and called Fan Xi.
"Hey, Fan Xi. Where are you right now? Do you have time to meet up?"
Fan Xi sounded quite happy on the other end of the phone. She replied:
"I'm in my dorm. You're free? What's up? Want to hang out?"
Li Menghan smiled and said:
"It's not about going out to play. I have something serious to tell you."
"Come down now, I'll be waiting for you downstairs in your dorm."
Less than five minutes later, Fan Xi ran down from the dormitory building.
She wore a very cute pink dress today, and looked very youthful and energetic.
Fan Xi opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat of the Ferrari.
She looked at Li Menghan and asked curiously:
"What's the big deal? Why are you making it so mysterious?"
Li Menghan gripped the steering wheel with both hands, turned to look at her, and said very seriously:
"I recently invested in a high-tech company that is working on a large AI model project."
"I'm now the boss of this company. The company has just been established and will be operational soon."
"But the company is currently short-staffed, especially for someone to do administrative management."
Li Menghan paused for a moment, then continued:
"I think you're a good fit. You're very meticulous and intelligent."
"So, I'd like to invite you to work in my company in administrative roles. It's a chance for you to gain experience, and also a way for me to do you a favor."
"You don't need to worry about salary at all; I'll definitely offer you a very high salary. What do you think?"
When Fan Xi heard this news, her eyes widened immediately.
Her face was filled with disbelief.
"My God! Meng Han, you actually started your own company? And it's in AI high-tech?"
"You're amazing!"
Fan Xi clapped her hands excitedly and said loudly:
"I'd love to! Of course I'd go! It would be an honor to work at your company!"
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity! I will definitely do my best and won't let you down!"
Seeing how readily Fan Xi agreed and how much she admired him.
Li Menghan felt very satisfied.
Li Menghan smiled and nodded:
"Okay, it's settled then."
"Tomorrow, come with me to the company to check out the office space and get familiar with the environment."
"Once all the equipment is purchased in a few days, we will officially start working."
The two chatted for a while longer in the car about the company's bright future.
It wasn't until almost dark in the afternoon that Li Menghan finally took Fan Xi back to her dormitory.
……
7:30 p.m.
Inside my home in Beichen Garden.
Li Menghan hummed a little tune as she unlocked her front door.
He changed his shoes and had just stepped into the living room.
Li Mengli was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, her expression very unpleasant.
When Li Mengli saw Li Menghan come in, she immediately stood up from the sofa.
She looked at Li Menghan and questioned her loudly:
"Li Menghan! Where did you go this afternoon?"
"Did you really give that 20 million to that swindler named Wang Lei?"
When Li Menghan heard his sister speak to him in such an accusatory tone right from the start, his good mood instantly vanished by more than half.
He frowned somewhat impatiently and replied:
"Yes, I gave it to him. Why?"
"I'm investing in a business, what do you know?"
Li Mengli was so angry she was about to jump up and down.
She strode up to Li Menghan, pointed at his nose, and said:
"What do I know? At least I know what common sense is!"
"That AI big model you invested in is a complete scam!"
"Lu Wenzhou called me this afternoon. He's a real young master; he's done big business overseas."
"He personally checked it out for you. He said that Wang Lei has absolutely no technical skills, and that project is just an empty shell."
"If you put your money in, it's like throwing money down the drain! You won't get a single penny back!"
Li Mengli became increasingly angry as she spoke:
"Call Wang Lei right now and tell him to return the money!"
"If you're too embarrassed to ask, I'll do the hitting! If they don't refund your money, we'll call the police and have them arrested!"
Li Menghan heard that her sister had actually gone to Lu Wenzhou to inquire about him.
His rebellious emotions finally erupted.
He felt that his sister was conspiring with outsiders to make him a laughingstock.
Li Menghan suddenly raised her voice and shouted loudly at Li Mengli:
"What right do you have to go to Lu Wenzhou! Is it any of his business what I do?!"
"Who does he think he is? He was just born a few years earlier than me and enjoyed the family's benefits for a few more years."
"He says no and that's it? Who does he think he is?!"
Li Menghan glared fiercely at Li Mengli, her tone extremely firm:
"Let me tell you, Li Mengli. This money is my own allowance, and I can spend it however I want."
"Since I've invested, I will absolutely not try to get my money back."
"Don't you all think I'm no good? Don't you all think I'm a piece of trash?"
"I'm determined to make this company a success! I want to prove to all of you that my judgment was right!"
"Once I've made my money, let's see what you have to say then!"
After saying these words, Li Menghan pushed Li Mengli away.
He strode back to his room and slammed the door shut.
Li Mengli stood in the living room.
She stared at the tightly closed door, her chest heaving with anger.
She was truly driven mad by her stubborn younger brother.
We've tried everything, from kind words to harsh ones, but he just won't listen.
"What an incomprehensible idiot!"
Li Mengli gritted her teeth and cursed viciously.
She knew that she would never be able to persuade Li Menghan on her own.
This kid has been completely brainwashed by that so-called "boss dream".
If we let him continue to act recklessly, then the 20 million will definitely be wasted.
Although 20 million is not much for their family.
However, the feeling of being fooled and treated like a fool is just too frustrating.
Li Mengli thought about it.
She felt that this matter couldn't just be left like this.
Since she can't control him, she'll find someone who can.
Li Mengli took out her phone and dialed her father Li Ze's number directly.
The phone rang a few times before being answered.
"Hey, Mengli. What do you need from Dad so late?"
Li Ze's voice sounded very relaxed.
Li Mengli took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.
She spoke loudly into the phone:
"Dad! You'd better control your son!"
"He's gone completely mad! He actually gave 20 million in cash directly to a conman at a school!"
"He even wants to start some kind of AI high-tech company with that conman!"
"I spent ages trying to persuade him to get his money back. Not only did he refuse to listen, he also yelled at me, saying I was meddling!"
"Dad, you need to find a way to get that money back quickly. That's twenty million! We can't just let those swindlers get it so easily!"
Li Mengli told Li Ze everything that had just happened in one breath.
She originally thought that her father would be very angry after hearing the news, and would immediately send the eldest son to arrest the swindler.
result.
But Li Ze's very calm laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Hahaha."
Li Ze said with a laugh on the phone:
"That's all? I thought it was something serious."
Li Mengli was stunned.
She asked, completely bewildered:
"Dad? Isn't this a big deal? That's twenty million in cash! They just swindled it away like that, and you're not even angry?"
Li Ze leaned back on the sofa at the American manor and said slowly:
"Why would I be angry?"
"That 20 million was his pocket money. I told him long ago that if he wanted to invest, he should use his own money."
"Now that he has decided to vote, that is his own choice."
"Whether he can earn it back or whether he was scammed are consequences he has to bear."
Li Ze's tone became somewhat serious:
"Mengli, you don't need to worry about him."
"Some pitfalls he has to step into himself. Some stumbles he has to fall into himself."
"If you force the money back now, he won't be grateful to you. Instead, he'll feel that you ruined his career. He'll resent you for the rest of his life."
"Let him do it. Twenty million is a lesson to be learned, to let him know how dangerous the outside world is, and to let him know that doing business isn't something you can do with just a few big words."
"This tuition fee was well spent."
Li Mengli listened to her father's words over the phone.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.
She felt that her father's words made some sense.
But watching helplessly as the swindlers took away 20 million still made her feel a pang of heartache.
"But... Dad, that's twenty million!"
Li Mengli muttered something under her breath.
Li Ze let out a very domineering laugh on the phone:
"What's there to be afraid of? Money is the last thing our family lacks."
"As long as the person is safe, what's a little money?"
"You can just stay at school and watch the play without worry."
"I guarantee that within a month, this kid will come running back crying and admitting his mistake."
