Chapter 6

"Indeed, this year's performance hasn't been too good. With over 20% inflation and a mess of triangular debts, it's hard to sell anything. Moreover, our company isn't a state-owned enterprise; it's a stepchild of a social enterprise without state funding. So the company's top management plans to hold meetings these few days to try to come up with a new plan before the shareholders' meeting, at least to make the shareholders' representatives a bit more at ease..." Jia Gang sighed and said.

"What kind of new plan are they preparing?" Jia Hongjian was surprised that his father and the others hadn't even thought of a new plan yet.

"Hmm..." Jia Gang looked at his son's face and thought for a few seconds, as if considering whether to tell his son. In the end, he decided to speak, "The tentative plan is to learn from a man named Shen Taifu in the north. His plan is to raise funds publicly from society, to combat the high inflation. Shen Taifu has already raised about a billion yuan in the first half of the year! This is much more powerful than the stock market. If our company also had this capital, development would be much easier. However, this is just an intention for now, and we are currently conducting a feasibility study..."

Raising funds from society? The more Jia Hongjian listened, the more he felt this was similar to the high-interest loans that were popular in Jiang and Zhe provinces in the 21st century. And Shen Taifu's methods seemed very similar to those of the female tycoon from Zhejiang who was later arrested...

"If you don't want to go to jail, it's better not to play with this." Surprisingly, after some thought, Jia Hongjian made this decision.

"Go to jail?" Jia Gang was a bit surprised. He couldn't understand why his 15-year-old son would associate this plan with going to jail. Could he instantly analyze the pros and cons?

"Think about it, he raised a billion yuan in half a year. The interest rate for bank deposits is over 20%, right? So the reason people are willing to invest their money with him is that he must promise a return rate much higher than 20%, maybe 30% or even 40%. Dad, what kind of business can make that much profit? Is it human trafficking, drug dealing, or arms trading?" Jia Hongjian's smile disappeared, and he seriously analyzed the situation for his father.

As a reborn person, Jia Hongjian had a lot of experience in the financial sector in his previous life. Compared to him, his father was as innocent as a newborn baby. He even remembered that when his father first heard about the Shenzhen company acquiring their company, he was furious: "They are all ** companies, what's the point of acquiring us? Do they have any party principles?"

Jia Hongjian's words immediately made Jia Gang think deeply. He was not familiar with the capital market, and now, after his son's analysis, he felt more and more suspicious. "Do you mean he's a fraud?" Jia Gang asked, a bit frightened. "This is a man who raised a billion yuan in half a year, a fraud? If he is a fraud, he could ruin hundreds of thousands of families!"

"Definitely. And I think, in the end, he will just be robbing Peter to pay Paul, and when he can't do it anymore, he will run away with the last bit of money to a foreign country. Then those people who have lost their life savings will either go to the government to complain or quietly end their lives..." Jia Hongjian said with a mix of coldness and sigh.

Listening to his son, Jia Gang felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had fallen into an icy cave in the dead of winter! He suddenly understood why his son said that doing this business would lead to jail. If a 15-year-old boy could see it, how could the government not? To prevent social unrest and the destruction of hundreds of thousands of families, the government would definitely take action in advance! The government might already be discussing how to deal with Shen Taifu, and he could be taken away by the authorities in a few days!

Jia Gang, drenched in cold sweat, felt as if he had narrowly escaped a disaster. If his son hadn't reminded him, he might have agreed to that plan in the high-level meeting, and if something went wrong...

"Good son! You really reminded your father. I really... Ah! Indeed, an outsider can see things clearly. You're right, hahaha!" Jia Gang completely forgot about his son's blank test paper. He now felt that his son was a lucky star!

"Come, come, let's eat. What are you two doing, laughing so loudly?" Su Ping entered the living room with a plate of braised pork.

"Haha, good wife, you've given me a good son!" Jia Gang, moved, walked up and kissed his wife on the forehead.

"What are you doing? The child is still here!" Su Ping, conservative, was embarrassed and glared at her husband.

After all the dishes were served, the family started to eat. "Come, son, have some braised pork, your favorite..." Su Ping, not eating herself, first put a piece of braised pork on her son's plate.

Jia Hongjian, who had returned home for the first time after being reborn, tasted the braised pork and felt a full sense of home. In his previous life, he often had to travel for work, spending half a year away from home each year. Whenever he was away, he always missed his mother's braised pork. Today, tasting it again, he felt like he wanted to bite his tongue and eat it with the braised pork.

Just as he thought this, he really bit his tongue, and his mouth was filled with the taste of blood. But he didn't care much and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

After finishing the meal, Jia Hongjian, feeling his tongue had stopped bleeding, helped his parents clear the table and wash the dishes, making them feel that their son had finally grown up. After that, he accompanied his parents for a one-hour walk, making them almost forget their own names.

Back home, after washing up, Jia Hongjian entered his room. Jia Gang and Su Ping, standing in the kitchen, watched their son's back as he entered his room, feeling a mix of emotions. "Hmph, I gave birth to such a good son for the Jia family, and someone was still unhappy a few days ago, blaming me for the son's misbehavior..." Su Ping said with a sideways glance.

"Hehe, wife, don't be angry. I just said it casually a few days ago..." Jia Gang tried to please his wife with a smile.

"Say it casually? Every time the son misbehaves, you never scold him to his face, but you always blame me in bed. So when the son does well, it's your credit because of your good genes. When he doesn't, it's my fault because I gave birth to him poorly, right?" Su Ping clearly didn't want to let her husband off easily and continued to glare at him.

"Ha ha ha, when the son does well, it's definitely because of my good genes. Think about it, if I hadn't fought for the people and written books to oppose the Gang of Four, you wouldn't have waited for me to be released from prison, right?" Jia Gang hugged his wife and whispered in her ear.

"Go away, who waited for you? It was you who chased me like crazy before the Gang of Four threw you into prison, leaving me no place to hide. After you were in prison, I had a few years of peace. I just didn't want to be with a man anymore, it has nothing to do with you, don't be so conceited..." Su Ping, not wanting her husband to be too pleased, leaned against him but rolled her eyes.

"Then what about later? How did you end up with me?" Jia Gang smiled and asked, leaning his forehead against hers.

"Later? Later, when the college entrance exam was restored, I got into university. Then a certain person was rehabilitated and released from prison, and he followed me to Guangzhou, even attending classes at my university, continuing to chase me until I had no place to hide..."

While the couple flirted, they didn't know that their love child was planning a shocking scheme. Jia Hongjian was sitting at his desk, preparing to write a detailed plan on how to cultivate his father. He even gave the plan a catchy name—*How to Forge Dad Gang*!

In the first section, Jia Hongjian wrote: "To prevent the Shenzhen Baoan Group from acquiring Yanzhong Industrial and causing the loss of family assets, it is necessary to provide only half of the new business plan to Dad, making the company fail and then abandon it. At this point, find a way to present the complete plan and encourage Dad to operate it personally. The new business plan is temporarily named—Eastern Magic Water."

Yes, although Jia Hongjian had only negated the private placement plan his father was considering and hadn't proposed any new plan, he had already formed the outline of an unbeatable plan in his mind. However, because he considered that his father might lose his position in the company in the future, to ensure he wasn't working for others, Jia Hongjian didn't reveal the entire plan.

But just then, he heard the sound of a phone ringing through the door. He listened carefully and heard his mother answer the phone and slowly walk towards his room. Jia Hongjian quickly hid *How to Forge Dad Gang* in the desk drawer and saw his mother open the door. "Hongjian, it's your phone, Dan Shui is calling."

At the mention of "Dan Shui," Jia Hongjian immediately thought of a woman with a fox-like appearance, capable of causing national disaster and family ruin, whose seductive glance could destroy hundreds of families.

He walked to the living room and picked up the phone. Before he could speak, he heard a sweet voice, "Xiao Jian?"

"Uh-huh." "Xiao Jian, listen, I went back to school today, and a new student joined our grade. Oh, her looks are amazing, almost as beautiful as me. And she has a great figure, with a big chest, a curvy waist, and long legs. Her chest is so big that you might not be able to hold it with one hand, but she seems a bit insecure about it, always hunching her back and wearing high collars. Her butt is firm, and I touched it, it's very elastic. Her body proportions are excellent, with a short upper body and long legs. Her legs are so long and slender, they'll make you drool, and they'll look great in stockings..."

Although this description was very appealing, Jia Hongjian felt it sounded like a madam trying to lure customers for a prostitute. "Get to the point," he said calmly.

The voice on the other end was clearly surprised by his calmness, "I've described her so vividly, and you're not interested? Is there something wrong with your body?"

Jia Hongjian was quite helpless with this provocation. His former neighbor, who he considered a "sister," had always been a troublemaker, with a talent for making people angry with just a few words. This sister, who was only a year older than him, had a habit of teasing him, much like a female hooligan teasing a good boy.

However, for this female hooligan, he had fought many times. Once, to save her from a gang of thugs in a dead-end alley, he had been slashed on the head with several weapons.

After a moment of silence, the female hooligan seemed to surrender, "Oh, okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. What I mean is, are you interested in this girl? I've already said a lot of good things about you to her, and she's interested. How about we meet on Sunday? I'll bring her to see you?"

This female hooligan sister had been enthusiastic about introducing girls to him ever since he saved her from the thugs. At first, it was girls from his class, then from his grade, and later from his school. A few years later, she even introduced girls from other schools and society to him, for reasons unknown.

Although Jia Hongjian didn't mind being introduced to girls, he wished his sister could introduce some who scored at least 80 out of 100, not just the 70-point class beauties.

"Still shy? No problem, I'll keep an eye on her. If anyone dares to have designs on her, I'll make sure they transfer schools." The sweet voice on the other end continued, "Oh, Xiao Jian, there's one more thing. Recently, a boy from another school wrote me a love letter. I used you as a shield, saying you're my boyfriend. He wants to talk to you..."

"Okay, let me know the time and place. By the way, it's best not to be on Saturday night, I have something to do." Jia Hongjian hung up the phone. He remembered this so-called "talk" from his previous life. Usually, dealing with suitors was something Wang Danshui could handle herself. But when she needed to use him as a shield, it usually meant she couldn't reject the suitor openly.

If he remembered correctly, this time it was the son of the factory director at Wang Danshui's parents' factory who had his eye on her. Wang Danshui was worried that a direct rejection might cause trouble for her parents, but she didn't really like the guy, so she asked him to be her shield.

Historically, this "talk" didn't go well, and he had to resort to secretly posting big-character posters and breaking windows to resolve the issue. But since he was reborn, he could handle it more smoothly this time.

Thinking about this, Jia Hongjian picked up the phone and called the number left by Old Luo. He had already decided to become the little girl's tutor, or rather, he had decided long ago. He just pretended to be cautious to show that he was different from ordinary young people.

He could tell that the old man's family was not an ordinary one, especially when the phone was answered, confirming his suspicion.

Why? Because in this era, even in Shanghai, not every household had a landline! Most people relied on the public phones in the neighborhood committee. When the phone rang, the committee auntie would ask who it was for and then loudly call that family to come down and answer the phone.

Even Jia Hongjian's family had a phone only because his father was a senior executive at a listed company. A retired old man, if he were an ordinary person, would not have a landline.

Being able to establish a connection with such an extraordinary old man was only natural! Opportunities are always for those who are prepared!

Even if the old man turned out to be an ordinary person, there was still the beautiful little girl, right?
