Master Lin Qi Solves a Difficult Problem

Before leaving, Gepu asked a question that was quite impressive.

"Will I die?" He had already stepped out of the doorway and was almost leaving the room, but he stopped and turned around to ask the question.

Will he die?

This is worrying, as in many films and television shows, including some historical events, some "key figures" have involuntarily sacrificed their lives for the secrets of certain individuals.

The best way to keep secrets is for everyone to keep their mouths shut forever. No one is more reliable than the dead, at least when it comes to keeping secrets.

Neo shook his head. "We might lose some money now, but if you disappear, we'll go to jail."

These words relieved Gepu, and he left without looking back.

Not long after he left, a man emerged from a hidden door behind Neo; it was Chairman Olbun, Neo's wife's father.

There was no sign of panic on his face, and the wine in his glass remained almost perfectly still, as steady as a rock.

He walked to the door, locked it from the inside, and asked the same question Gepu had asked, "Will he die?"

Neo was no longer able to answer as easily as before; he even started biting his nails rapidly.

Nail biting is a very bad habit, but everyone knows that there are some bad habits that cannot be changed. Neo bites his nails when he is extremely upset, as it helps him calm down.

Olbun looked at Neo, Neo gaze was blankly fixed ahead. After a minute or two, Neo came to his senses, his expression somewhat complicated. "Are you willing to do that?"

His voice was filled with resentment, "Decades of hard work could become the past in the blink of an eye, and we would become the kind of losers we used to despise. Are you willing to let that happen?"

"Are you willing to give up your current assets, your current social status, and all your comforts, to live like an ordinary person?"

Neo knew very well that if something happened to Listoan, the Board of Directors would immediately turn against him. To expect those shareholders to help him and the Group Company through the crisis? That seemed to be nothing but wishful thinking, not even a fantasy.

By then, the things they did before, and the things they did afterward, will be enough to bankrupt them and send them to jail.

The chairman of a listed company altered financial statements to deceive investors, causing them huge losses. This crime alone is enough to land him in jail for a long time.

Freedom, wealth, status—everything will come to an end because of the foolish actions of a few people.

Resign yourself to fate?

Are they willing to give it up? After decades of hard work, how many covetous eyes and greedy hands have they fend off? They have overcome so many obstacles, yet they stumbled on flat ground.

Are they willing to give it up? This is a question Neo isn't just asking Olbun; he's asking himself the same question.

As long as you're willing to give it up, it's not a big deal. If you immediately compromise and bow your head, and he confesses, his sentence might be greatly reduced or he might not even go to jail, provided that he leaves behind all his wealth and doesn't take a single penny with him.

But he couldn't bear to part with it. Everyone knows that money is just a string of numbers, but he just couldn't bear to part with it.

Neo glanced out the window at the pleasant weather, his gaze stretching far, far away. "I hope he can pull through..."

Nobody wants to resort to extreme measures until the very last resort.

At this moment, Lin Qi, who was on set, also looked up at the sky. It was a clear blue sky with no clouds, and the sunlight penetrated the atmosphere without any obstruction, falling on people. Even wearing thick clothes, people could feel the warmth of the sun.

It must be said that having weather like this in winter is indeed a very pleasant thing.

The Fox family's film production was temporarily halted due to the strike. It wasn't that they were implicated, but some people had to participate in strikes and demonstrations to ensure that their "Working Class stance" remained unwavering.

This massive strike, which was tantamount to a war in the eyes of the real Working Class, was nothing more than an annoying farce to many others who also appeared to be Working Class, slowing down their earning pace.

Immediately after the strike ended, these people returned to the film crew to continue filming. They were more eager than anyone else to finish their work as soon as possible and receive their share.

The weather was nice today, Fox family invited Lin Qi over to chat, watch the filming, and discuss women's professional Rugby.

Lin Qi gained great fame in Sabine City through a Rugby. Lin Qi may not even realize how famous he is now, but people like the Fox family, who are rooted in the grassroots, know it very well.

Many people believed that Lin Qi was the savior of Sabine City, the savior of Rugby and sports enthusiasts. They heard from somewhere that Lin Qi was going to start various other sports, and for a time Lin Qi's reputation was pushed to its peak.

The Fox family may not be able to afford professional Rugby, but women's professional Rugby is not necessarily out of reach. They were thinking of organizing a game to see how it goes, which is why they invited Lin Qi to come here.

The three men were standing on the side of the set. Even after the Director cleared the area, they didn't leave. The Director didn't dare to say anything, since these three were investors and he couldn't afford to offend them.

With a heavy heart, the Director called for action. To the three men of different ages, the female lead, wearing only a bath towel, walked out from behind the scenes and instantly amazed them.

The female lead, a porn star, couldn't possibly be ugly; she couldn't even be average or slightly pretty. She had a face that was at least an 85 out of 100 and a figure that was a 90 out of 100. In front of these three men, she unhesitatingly untied her bath towel and entered the shower.

Many people watching similar movies have a question: why would such a beautiful girl make such a movie? Even if she were with him and they worked hard together, wouldn't they be able to live a good life? Actually, there aren't many reasons. The key is money, and they won't be interested in you because you don't have money.

Standing on the sidelines, watching the lead actress enter the shower, Old Fox glanced at his son and said with some displeasure, "You should close your eyes..." But Little Fox laughed and said, "I'm all grown up now, and do you think I haven't seen these things before?"

In fact, no matter what kind of parents they are, as long as their souls are still human, not demons or perverts, and they have the most basic values, they will mostly avoid some embarrassing situations when their children are young.

For example, they might call out God's name while covering children's eyes or kicking them out when men and women on TV are kissing, hugging, or doing other intimate things.

Old Fox tilted his head and raised an eyebrow. "In my eyes, you'll always just be a child who never grows up."

Little Fox smiled and didn't argue. It would be foolish to argue with an old man, especially since this old man was his father. With his patriarchal authority and unreasonableness, he had no chance of winning.

Mr. Fox found the Little Fox's concessions boring, and his current life, which was more comfortable than ever before, made him want to find something to do.

He turned his gaze away from the woman and looked towards Lin Qi. "Our Rugby team is all set up, and we've found a coach. Shouldn't we start using them now?"

Lin Qi also looked away. After thinking for a moment, he nodded. "We can do it this weekend, Saturday, I'll have the lawn mowed and invite some people over."

He was referring to President Irene. The concept and topic of Women's Professional Sports are still developing and gaining momentum. It's really not easy to make a big change in something.

It may sound simple—getting women onto the sports field and giving them the respect due to athletes—but in reality, people still tend to view them with prejudice.

This is a good opportunity to bring together Feminist Organization and give women's professional Rugby a warm-up; people will be interested.

At least, you see far more girls at a Rugby game than at a bodybuilding event, and the men in front of the TV with tissues and Remote Control know how to choose.

"Shall we take a walk?" Mr. Fox suggested. Lin Qi glanced at him, and the two walked out of the film set.

They chose a relatively remote route with few people around.

"I've run into some trouble lately..." Old Mr. Fox frowned. "You know, not everyone can pay back the interest and principal, and I also have to deal with you... Heh."

Lin Qi remained silent, so Mr. Fox continued, "Sometimes some people don't actually owe me much money. For example, there's this guy who owes me a total of 1,100 dollars, but he really doesn't have the money now. He's willing to pay it back, and he's even willing to work for me to pay it back. What do you think I should do to get that money back?"

This is also the type of person that Finance Company fear most. They are willing to do anything, but they just don't have money, which gives them a headache. Some people even offer to work for the Finance Company, as long as they have food to eat and don't want any salary.

This situation would be difficult for anyone to resolve, including Mr. Fox.

He felt that since Lin Qi was so smart, he would definitely find a way to help him, because helping him would be the same as helping Lin Qi, and their interests were aligned.

Lin Qi frowned slightly. Dyson Asset Management Company was still providing him with a steady stream of profits, and he had no intention of ending his business with Mr. Fox.

After thinking for a moment, he came up with a solution.

"Continue to lend money to those who own houses until you can demand that their houses be auctioned off to repay the loans."

"Those without property such as houses should be sent abroad to work. The whole world is currently engaged in post-war reconstruction, and they are in dire need of cheap labor."

Seeing the dumbfounded look on old Mr. Fox's face, Lin Qi couldn't help but laugh. "You think I'm harming them?" he retorted. "No, I'm saving them!"

It was supposed to be an extra chapter, but I accidentally forgot the chapter title. Consider it a freebie for you guys.
