Seeing the two of them, the old man put down his teacup, his smile faded, and he said calmly:

"Third brother, are you still unable to move when I call you? The distance between the two villas is only ten meters, and it took you twenty minutes to walk over. Is it because your legs are bad, or is it because you don't want to come?

"

"kindness?"

Yes, the person who came was none other than the third young master of the Guo family. Guo Yongan and his wife Ma Yanhong had always been very favored by the Guo family and were rarely reprimanded by the old man.

Tonight, the boss came to greet him and said it was the old man who invited him. The two of them felt strange. As soon as they entered the door, they heard such "yin and yang strange" words, which made them even more confused.

"Dad, it's not Brother An's fault, it's me. I've already changed into my pajamas. Brother said Dad wanted to see us, so I immediately changed my clothes again, and that's why I got late."

Ma Yanhong reacted quickly, smiled brightly, and came up to her immediately, giving an explanation in a gentle manner.

Guo Yongan followed closely and said quickly:

"Dad, yes, we are all ready to rest. I didn't expect you to see us again, Dad??"

If it was normal, the old man might be able to accept the explanation right away and get over the "late arrival" problem.

But today, the old man is different. He didn't feel it before, but tonight when he saw the third daughter-in-law reacting faster than the third son and speaking first, he felt angry.

"This is the woman who is so bold that she even dares to touch the company's money."

"The third child is also a loser. He can't even take care of his own woman. What use can such a thing be?"

With a gloomy look on his face, the old man interrupted Guo Yongan's explanation and said calmly:

"So, you still blame me? I came to you and your wife so late and disturbed your rest."

"Dad, where can I go? If you want to see us, you can do it no matter how late it is."

Ma Yanhong spoke again, laughing instantly.

"Yes, Dad."

Guo Yong'an followed, found Lei Yaoyang and Guo Jun, and reminded:

"Dad, you have a guest here." Guo Yong'an thinks about it. The old man values ​​the family's reputation the most. When there are guests, the old man will temporarily put aside any matter, no matter how big it is. And he's just a little late. It's nothing."

When he got closer, Guo Yongan saw clearly the age of Lei Yaoyang's face, his tone changed, and he immediately said:

"Arjun, this should be your friend, right?"

"Don't blame Third Uncle for talking about you. Why are you so ignorant and bothering Grandpa so late?"

Guo Yongan's words were undoubtedly a lesson to Guo Jun in a roundabout way and brought those "foolish friends" to the old man.

Guo Jun's face turned red when he heard this, and he wanted to refute.

Before he could finish speaking, the old man Guo Jun spoke:

"Shut up, this is my little friend, a distinguished guest of our Guo family. Don't say it's only nine o'clock in the evening, even if it's two o'clock in the middle of the night, if my little friend comes to see me, I will be very happy."

"Although I am an old guy, I am not like you and your wife. I have to go to bed at nine o'clock in the evening."

"Why, are you two usually very busy? Are you tired? You need to rest so early. What are you busy with? Why don't you tell me, an old guy like me, to hear it?"

Well!

With just these words, the old man slapped him in the face and taught him a lesson.

Guo Yong'an and his wife thought reflexively that Lei Yaoyang was probably a descendant of some big family, a grandson of an old friend of the old man.

The two of them stopped talking about this topic. Ma Yanhong was still clever and immediately made up for it:

"Dad, Brother An, don't you know this? Please don't be angry, it will hurt your health."

As she said that, Ma Yanhong took a few steps forward, seemingly wanting to help the old man.

"Stop, Third Brother, and you, stand over."

The old man immediately stopped him, stretched out his right hand, and stopped speaking in a calm tone, turning into a stern tone.

Ma Yanhong and Guo Yongan were both startled, but they were still confused and quickly stood two meters in front of the old man.

The old man was not ambiguous and immediately got to the point, shouting:

"Lao San, I heard that in our garment company, many customers have broken contracts in recent years, is that right?"

"Damn it, I've been working on it for a long time. It turns out that the company's business is not good and I want to hold people accountable. It must be the boss who is snitching on himself behind his back."

After hearing this, Guo Yongan felt more relaxed. He didn't think of anything else. He just thought that the old man was asking about the company's situation normally. He felt that the performance was not good and he just wanted to give him a few words of training.

This kind of thing is very common in the Guo family and is nothing surprising.

With this in mind, Guo Yongan nodded and explained:

"Dad, in terms of quality, our garment company has absolutely no problem. The price is also the cheapest in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. Our customers are very satisfied."

"You said that some customers broke the contract. This kind of thing does happen, but it is their own problem. Let's take Mr. Liu from Yuanying Clothing. He just ordered a batch of goods from our company last month, and he was very nervous at the time.

Satisfied, but this month he had problems with his own business and had no money to pick up the goods."

"In the end, after negotiation, he did not want a deposit, but also gave our company two million, and the order was cancelled."

Guo Yongan began to explain. In his words, he greatly highlighted his own contribution to the company and also explained clearly the issue of "breach of contract".

The old man Guo Yi listened quietly and did not interrupt Guo Yongan, but the look in his eyes became more and more evil, and he was filled with anger:

"It's already come to this, and you are still not honest and want to fool me. Okay, that's really good."

"Dad, that's the thing. Actually, you don't have to worry about the garment company's affairs. I'll be in charge of the overall situation, so there's no problem at all."

Guo Yongan gave a long introduction, almost praising his own contribution as "there is something in the sky and nothing on the earth", and finally gave a summary.

Ma Yanhong followed closely behind and quickly helped her husband:

"Yes, Dad, Brother An has worked very hard in the past few years, and he doesn't come back until very late every day."

As she said that, Ma Yanhong glanced at Guo Yongkang next to her, feeling proud.

Undoubtedly, she, like Guo Yongan, thought it was this eldest brother who was snitching in front of the old man.

However, this kind of thing is not something they have never encountered before. The couple can make the old man happy every time, and even trust them more than before.

Just relying on this little trick, trying to shake Sanfang's position in the old man's mind is simply "a fool's dream".

Of course Guo Yongkang saw the look in Ma Yanhong's eyes. If it was normal, he might be angry that a mere sister-in-law dared to compete like this.

But today, Guo Yongkang looked disdainful. He just looked at the old man and waited for him to speak without any response at all.

"kindness?"

Ma Yanhong was a little confused.

The next moment, the old man's tone was strange, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and said calmly:

"Speaking of which, Lao San, not only did you fail, but you actually made a great contribution."

"Is it an honor for us, the Guo family, to have you as a director of the garment group?"

"Dad, we are all a family. Whether it is an honor or not, it is appropriate to contribute to the group."

Guo Yongan waved his hands and said something special.

"Oh, try your best."

The old man smiled coldly, changed the topic suddenly, and his tone was still gloomy:

"You are right, you have indeed done a lot for the group."

"Let me ask you, where have all the goods worth 743.72 million in our group's warehouse gone?"

"ah?"

As soon as the old man said this, Guo Yongan and his wife felt as if their heads had been hit by a hammer, and their hearts were shaken.

Especially Ma Yanhong's face, which could be seen with the naked eye, turned a little white.

Compared to Guo Yongan, Ma Yanhong is actually more aware of her company's financial situation, including tricks and so on.

Although the numbers the old man reported out at once were not exactly the same as the numbers she had, the gap was not big.

To put it simply, the old man did not just report a number casually, but actually asked someone to check their company.

There is indeed no so-called "exhibited goods" in their company's warehouse. It's not that the couple secretly took them out and sold them because they were greedy for money, but that the orders were fake from the beginning, and there were no customers at all.

According to common sense, every ready-to-wear group has this situation. As long as the old goods are more than ten years old and the styles are old and no one wants them, the company will pack them up and dispose of them at a discount of about 30% of the cost price.

It is precisely because of this routine that Mr. and Mrs. Guo Yongan dared to do anything.

After all, the old man is so old, it is not known whether he can survive ten years from now. Even if he is still there in ten years, it should be "easy" to fill the hole by then.

But now, the old man has found out?

It's impossible. The old man has always trusted his wife. It must be that bastard brother who found something and came to the old man to "spread trouble."

"No, I can't admit it. Let's fool it first and then think of a way."

Guo Yongan and his wife looked at each other again and again. They had known each other for many years, and they had a tacit understanding. They already had a consensus without speaking.

This time it was Guo Yongan who stood up to speak. He said immediately with a sullen face:

"Since they are goods for display, of course they are all placed in the warehouse. Dad, don't believe the gossip outside. Our goods have always been fine, and there are no missing items."

"Yes, Dad, if you don't believe it, you are welcome to go to the company tomorrow and have a look."

Ma Yanhong's mind was spinning very fast, and at this moment she also came up with an idea. All she had to do was sneak in now, call a few friends who were also making garments tonight, and borrow a batch of goods to put in her warehouse for the old man to check.
