Responsibilities Weighed on His Shoulders, Mission Clutched in His Hands

"You have two choices!"

"The first one is that I will fund all your expenses while you are in school and provide you with enough help. This is my investment in your studies. You need to have good grades to prove that these investments are not wasted."

"The second condition is the same as above. Regardless of whether you can graduate or not, you have to work for me for ten years. You know, I am a capitalist, and exploitation is my motto."

"But..." Lin Qi coughed lightly, "Look, I am a young man..."

Catherine soon interrupted Lin Qi's joking hint. Her expression was a little complicated, "The second item is, after I graduate, I will work for you for ten years."

She knew that Lin Qi said this so that she would not have too much burden. After all, they had broken up. Logically speaking, Lin Qi did not need to bear any of her fees and expenses, let alone arrange work for her family.

They are just friends now, but friends can't do this, so Lin Qi found some excuses so that she could at least deceive herself and accept the help with peace of mind, without the need to have any emotions that hurt her self-esteem and personality.

Both of them are very smart people, otherwise they would not have fantasized about going to college. The stupid kids would have gone to work in a fast food restaurant or Gas Station before finishing high school, but they still had hope for the future.

Lin Qi pointed at the girl, "I'm looking forward to your performance..." He took out an envelope and handed it over, "There is some money in it, enough for you to live during this period, as well as your bankbook. I will put some money in every month. You don't have to imagine too much!"

He glanced at his mouth and said, "Then should you give me a hug at the end?"

The girl looked directly into his smiling eyes, and finally opened her arms and hugged him hard. For about half a minute, the two of them did not speak, but they soon separated again.

She "snatched" the envelope from Lin Qi's hand, with a smile on her face, "Just wait, I will make your jaw drop to the ground!"

Watching the girl get into the car and leave, Lin Qi scratched his head and returned to Living Room. Everything was the same as two days ago, without much change.

On the other side, Catherine was sitting in the car and couldn't help but open the envelope given to her by Lin Qi. The envelope contained the passbook she left for Lin Qi. She didn't expect that Lin Qi would still keep it.

According to bank standards, when there is no balance in an account, they will proactively warn customers that if a certain amount of money is not deposited within a week, they will cancel the passbook.

The purpose of this is to facilitate the bank's overall planning and management. In the absence of information technology, a large amount of passbook management work is actually done manually.

The more accounts that are vacant, have no balance, and have no value, the more labor the bank will waste. Therefore, any account that has no value cannot escape the fate of being cancelled.

She felt a little emotional, and then continued to dig out. There was still a wad of money in it. She counted them, and they were all in denominations of twenty yuan. There were fifty pieces in total, one thousand yuan.

This was already a huge sum of money to her, and she had never had control over so much money in her life.

Just when she thought there was nothing in the envelope and was about to throw it away, she suddenly found that the envelope was still a little heavy. She turned the envelope upside down and a ring fell into her hand.

A Gold Ring. She moved towards the car window so that the light outside the car could fall more abundantly into her hands, and then she saw the words on the inside of the ring.

"This bastard..." The girl's eyes quickly filled with tears, and she quickly wiped them away, then put the ring on her hand, "It's a bit big!"

It seemed like he was explaining something, or talking to himself.

The scenery outside the car window kept receding, and soon the car stopped on the street outside Catherine's house. There were originally a few street guys wandering on the street, but they disappeared instantly when they saw the car stop.

Everyone knows that in this society, you can not respect the law, but you must bow to money.

Catherine thanked the driver for taking him back and said goodbye, then returned home with his bag.

At this time, her parents gathered around and talked about the things she had not been home for the past two days. In short, the original tense and serious atmosphere disappeared in an instant, replaced by her father's honest smile and the renewed brilliance on her mother's face.

Catherine feels helpless about this, but does not hate it. This is her family, an ordinary person and her ordinary family.

On Thursday, there was nothing too surprising for a staff member. The entire Sabine City was shrouded in the ever-increasing unemployment rate. Basically, the faces of pedestrians on the road no longer had smiles, and their faces were full of sorrow.

On such a day, a group of people will start to bake cakes.

Lin Qi specially put on a formal suit, which made him feel like his whole body was about to be ignited. Fortunately, the car in motion could bring some hotter wind.

There were not many cars on the road, and cars at this time did not have air-conditioning functions. This also made every car running under the sun like an oven. Sometimes it is really not easy to be a "big shot". At least ordinary people can take off their clothes in this situation. Not only can Lin Qi not take off his clothes, he must also ensure that the buttons on the collar of his shirt are buttoned.

Fortunately, the journey was relatively smooth, and we arrived at Sabine City Court within the stipulated time. Heng Hui Group's property in Sabine City was occupied by Federal Revenue Service seized, Federal Revenue Service entrusted Sabine City Court to auction these properties, so those who participate in this auction need to participate here.

As soon as Lin Qi got out of the car and followed the information given to him by Ferral, he came outside Courtroom No. 9. Waves of cool air slowly floated out from the open door.

As soon as he reached the door, two men in police uniforms stretched out their hands to block his way. Both of them stared at him closely, "Sorry, sir, this is not open to the public..."

In some court hearings or auctions or other situations, citizens are allowed to observe and participate, but there are also some cases where spectators and participation are not allowed. For specific circumstances, you can refer to the local newspaper, which will have specific information - any information is disclosed to the public, and you can participate.

As for those that are not public, don't worry, because most people will not know that these things happened.

Lin Qi showed the card given to him by Ferral. One of the policemen glanced at it and then at Lin Qi, motioned his companion to step aside, and returned the card to Lin Qi, "You can go in!"

Lin Qi neither expressed dissatisfaction with these two people's obstruction nor showed any other emotions. This was just their job, and they were just doing their jobs.

When they entered Courtroom No. 9, there were already about thirty people sitting here. These people were sitting in small groups. They all showed some curious eyes towards Lin Qi, but no one came to question or chat with him.

He chose a relatively back seat and sat down. He was alone. He knew very well what Ferral meant, and he had no intention of interfering in creating some trouble for this auction that might have concluded many days ago.

As time passed and the last two groups arrived on the scene, the police closed the door and the auction of the seized assets began.

"Lot No. 1 is a seventeen-story office building at No. 41 Sailin Road in the central city. It has a total usable area of... and contains... facilities. The overall market estimate is 2.25 million, and the starting price is 600,000..."

"Mr. No. 4, hold up your sign, 600,000, is there any increase in price?"

"The first time for six hundred thousand..."

"Six hundred thousand for the second time..."

"Six hundred thousand for the third time!"

The court staff in charge of the auction had no intention of asking anyone to bid. He was just going through the motions. A downtown office building worth more than two million, or maybe even more, was auctioned at an outrageously low price.

Lin Qi sees things further. He knows very well that low prices may not necessarily mean low prices. When these people acquire these assets, they will naturally provide corresponding job opportunities and use them to create their original social and economic value.

In fact, even if some of the industries were given to him now, he wouldn't be able to use them, especially some factories and the like. Regardless of whether he could afford the raw materials needed for production, just because the goods at the production site could not be paid back quickly, the backlog of funds was enough to make him bankrupt.

He just watched with cold eyes as assets worth hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars were sold off at extreme prices one after another.

What those people fantasized about on his Secondhand Goods Auction unexpectedly became a reality here. No one bid, and all the goods were sold at the lowest starting price.

If people with these ideas knew about the "miracle" that happened here, they would be very happy, right?! All the participants seemed to be used to it. They were not surprised at all that they had obtained some goods at the lowest price. This was just a performance, a scene, all designed to silence some people from the process.

Lin Qi He originally planned to simply go through the cutscene, but unexpectedly, there were auction items that interested him, some trucks.

There are more than 30 trucks and more than 50 various trailers, but the price is only 110,000. This price is also ridiculously low, but no one is interested.

Heng Hui Group has its own Logistics Company, and the bidders here also have their own Logistics Company, or cooperative Logistics Company, and they are not very interested in the trucks under Henghui's name.

One truck definitely requires one Truck Driver, and more than thirty trucks equal more than thirty jobs. Plus some related staff, these things create at least fifty wages, and at the same time there is no strong demand.

They were not interested, but Lin Qi was very interested. He did not actively disrupt the order of the auction, but just watched quietly.

The truck eventually died because no one had a sign.

After Foreclosure Auction finished, Lin Qi immediately called Ferral to discuss the situation. If no one of their trucks was willing to take over, he would not mind taking some responsibilities and contributing some efforts to maintain Federal's laws and local order.

In any case, Master Lin Qi is also an excellent businessman with a sense of social responsibility!
