Lin Shuangshuang's face darkened as she looked at her phone screen.
According to her original plan, she was supposed to collaborate with that charity for a long time, continuously defrauding Cen Ya's donations.
However, her teammate was incompetent and ended up provoking Ye Zhi, turning this into a one-time deal.
Now that Cen Ya was calling, she was likely coming to demand an explanation. After all, she had been the one who sent the invitation.
She had a way to explain, but Cen Ya would inevitably distrust her afterward. It seemed she had to divert the conflict.
Finally, just before the last ring of the phone, Lin Shuangshuang answered.
"Shuangshuang, have you seen what's on the internet? I didn't expect Tao Xun to successfully reverse public opinion..." Cen Ya said irritably. "But this might not necessarily be Ye Zhi's credit, right? What if she doesn't have the final say, and it's someone else's decision?"
Lin Shuangshuang rolled her eyes. If Ye Zhi didn't have the final say on Tao Xun, did Cen Ya have it?
She had overestimated Cen Ya. She thought Cen Ya's main concern would be the fraud of her donations, but she didn't expect Cen Ya to be more focused on Ye Zhi.
Lin Shuangshuang said with worry, "Xiaoya, I didn't expect Ye Zhi to be so cunning. But I also didn't expect that charity to have so many problems! If I had known earlier, I would have more firmly stopped you from donating!"
She had already figured out that the charity issue couldn't be hidden. Even if she kept it quiet now, with all the commotion online, the civil affairs department would investigate, and then Cen Ya would know she had been deceived. Therefore, it was better for her to break the news herself.
"That charity really has problems?" Cen Ya was startled. Although she had seen it online before, she had harbored a slim hope that Ye Zhi had deliberately hired people to smear the charity.
"I'm not sure right now," Lin Shuangshuang said worriedly. "The important thing isn't whether I believe it, but whether your brother believes it!"
Cen Ya panicked. If that charity truly had issues, then she had been swindled out of fifty million!
Although the Cen family doted on her and gave her generous pocket money, in their eyes, it was better to squander the money than to be defrauded.
If Cen Xiucheng found out that she had donated so much money to a problematic charity, she truly didn't know how she would explain it!
"Shuangshuang, what should I do?" Cen Ya was frantic. "If my brother finds out, he'll definitely be very angry..."
"Xiaoya, all we can do now is try to hide it from him..."
Cen Ya was troubled, "But my brother is in the country, he'll find out sooner or later, how can I hide it?"
"Then let's find a way to get him to leave first. How about sending him back to Country K?"
Cen Ya hesitated, "Wouldn't that be bad? Even if I deceive him now, what happens if he finds out later?"
"Xiaoya, don't worry," Lin Shuangshuang narrowed her eyes. "You can use this time to earn back the money! Once you've secretly replaced the money, your brother will never know!"
Cen Ya suddenly became a little disheartened, "Shuangshuang, stop joking. I'm really not good at this..."
"It's okay, you can ask Ou Minghan to help you make money. You should trust his abilities, right?"
Cen Ya's heart pounded violently, but a moment later, she sighed sadly and said, "Shuangshuang, don't mention him anymore. I told you, I don't love him anymore, and I won't beg him..."
"How is this begging him? This is clearly you taking revenge on him, making him work like a horse for you and help you make money!"
Her words struck Cen Ya to the core. Yes, she wasn't begging Ou Minghan; she was taking revenge on him.
Cen Ya made up her mind, "Okay, let's do it! Shuangshuang, you're truly my best friend!"
Lin Shuangshuang slowly breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was settled!
It seemed that this time, she could not only drive away the threat of Cen Xiucheng but also create opportunities for Cen Ya and Ou Minghan, thus earning Cen Ya's greater trust!
Lin Shuangshuang quickly contacted Ou Minghan. Given the opportunity to get close to Cen Ya, Ou Minghan readily agreed.
However, Lin Shuangshuang was somewhat uneasy.
If Ou Minghan was also an incompetent teammate and failed this time, Cen Ya might forgive Ou Minghan, but she might not forgive her.
She couldn't help but ask, "Ou Minghan, tell me first, what business plan do you have to earn back this money?"
"Why are you asking so much, you're a woman? You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Ou Minghan said arrogantly.
Lin Shuangshuang was so angry she almost threw her phone away. If it weren't for Cen Ya's unwavering devotion to Ou Minghan, how could she possibly collaborate with such a... thing?
"If you don't tell me, how do you know if I'll understand?" she said displeasuredly.
Ou Minghan sneered, "Woman, why are you so concerned about me?"
Lin Shuangshuang was almost driven crazy! Even for the sake of money, she could barely stand it!
"Ou Minghan, get it straight. If you can't even convince me, how can I help you convince Cen Ya to invest her money with confidence?!"
Seeing that she brought up Cen Ya, Ou Minghan finally changed his attitude.
He thought for a moment and said, "I want to start a company focused on training."
"Starting a training institution?" Lin Shuangshuang frowned with dissatisfaction. "This requires venues, teachers, students, and also needs to build a reputation. To quickly earn enough money and make Cen Ya look at you with admiration, isn't that very difficult?"
"Who said I want to run a traditional training class?" Ou Minghan said proudly. "The training class I want to run is one that can make people willingly send money to my door..."
"Get to the point!" Lin Shuangshuang interrupted him impatiently.
Ou Minghan snorted in displeasure, and then, he said proudly, "My plan is to first recruit, and I'll be recruiting recent graduates who have no work experience.
When they come for an interview, I'll tell them their skills are insufficient and ask them to learn Java, Photoshop, and so on. Then, I'll recommend training courses on the spot; there's always one suitable for them. It's okay if they don't have money for training classes right after graduation; I'll directly recommend loan companies, and they can process the loans on the spot!
This way, they have money to participate in training, the loan companies get customers, and we get money quickly. Isn't that a win-win-win?"
Lin Shuangshuang gasped. Ou Minghan wasn't starting a training institution; he was essentially running a training loan business!
She had to admit, Ou Minghan's method would definitely be very profitable, but he was practically dancing on the edge of the law!
Lin Shuangshuang deliberated and finally made a decision.
Although this matter was suspected of being illegal, the ones breaking the law were Ou Minghan and Cen Ya, so what did it have to do with her?
She said crisply, "Okay, I will help you convince Cen Ya, but the company's finances must be handled by my people!"
