Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

Chapter 332 He Didn’t Say Who It Was

"I just checked the company's accounts and found that a huge amount of money had been transferred away." Zhang Li's voice was trembling. "I checked the transfer records and found that the money was transferred to a private account."

"What?!" Chen Rufeng's eyes widened in astonishment. "Can you find out whose account it is?"

"We've checked and it's Wang Qiang's account." Zhang Li's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Chen Rufeng dizzy.

Chen Rufeng hung up the phone, his mind in a mess. He couldn't believe that the good brother who had always fought side by side with him and shared hardships had betrayed him. Was the friendship of these years all fake? He tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and returned to the meeting room.

Wang Qiang was still talking about his creative ideas. When he saw Chen Rufeng coming back, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Rufeng? Is there an important call?"

Chen Rufeng tried hard to control his emotions and forced a smile, "Nothing, it's just that the company has some financial problems that we need to deal with later."

After the meeting, Chen Rufeng called Wang Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, let's talk."

Wang Qiang glanced at him, nodded, and the two walked to the office. After closing the door, Chen Rufeng looked directly into Wang Qiang's eyes and asked coldly, "Why did you transfer the company's money?"

Wang Qiang's face turned pale instantly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

"Why?" Chen Rufeng's voice trembled. He was unwilling to believe the facts before his eyes. "You know how important that money is to the company. Our project is at a critical moment. Why did you do this?"

Wang Qiang lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Chen Rufeng's eyes. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible. "I'm sorry, Rufeng, I was forced to do this. Something happened at home, and I need money urgently..."

Chen Rufeng clenched his fists angrily. "Even so, you shouldn't do this behind my back! We are brothers. What difficulties can't we face together? How can I trust you if you do this?"

Wang Qiang was silent for a moment, and finally raised his head, "Rufeng, I know I was wrong, but I really have no other choice. I will pay back the money as soon as possible."

Chen Rufeng sneered, "Pay it back as soon as possible? Do you know how important that money is to us? The company is now at a critical moment. Your move may make all our efforts go to waste."

Wang Qiang was speechless and could only bow his head in silence. Chen Rufeng sighed deeply, his heart filled with pain and disappointment. He knew that no matter what, the trust between them had been destroyed.

After the incident, Chen Rufeng felt exhausted physically and mentally. He rushed between various affairs every day, trying to recover the company's losses, but the pain in his heart could not be dissipated. He began to doubt himself and doubt the friendship and trust that he once believed in.

A few weeks later, the company finally resumed normal operations with Chen Rufeng's efforts, but his relationship with Wang Qiang could never go back to the way it was before. Wang Qiang tried to explain to Chen Rufeng several times, but was coldly rejected. During that time, Chen Rufeng often sat alone in the office, staring at the photos on the table in a daze, constantly recalling bits and pieces of the past in his mind.

Lin Hao also noticed something strange between the two of them. He tentatively asked Chen Rufeng, "Rufeng, what happened between you and Qiangzi? Your relationship seems to be tense recently."

Chen Rufeng was silent for a moment, and finally told Lin Hao what happened. After listening, Lin Hao frowned deeply, "I didn't expect Qiangzi to do such a thing. It's really disappointing."

"Yes." Chen Rufeng said with a wry smile, "I always thought we were brothers who could share weal and woe, but I didn't expect he would betray me."

Lin Hao patted Chen Rufeng on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad, Rufeng. We still have to move on and can't give up our dreams because of this incident."

Chen Rufeng nodded, but the pain in his heart could not be easily healed. He decided to put more energy into the company, hoping to numb himself through hard work and temporarily forget the painful memories.

As time went by, the company's business gradually got back on track, but the shadow in Chen Rufeng's heart never left. Whenever he saw Wang Qiang, he would feel pain and anger. Although Wang Qiang tried several times to repair their relationship, Chen Rufeng could not forgive him.

One night, Chen Rufeng was sitting alone in the office, working overtime on documents. Suddenly, the door of the office was gently pushed open. It was Zhang Li. She walked in and whispered, "Rufeng, are you still busy?"

Chen Rufeng looked up and smiled tiredly, "Yes, there are still some documents to be processed. What can I do for you?"

Zhang Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Actually, I have something to tell you."

Chen Rufeng nodded, "Go ahead."

Zhang Li took a deep breath and said, "I think there are some things you should know about Wang Qiang."

Chen Rufeng frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"

"In fact, Wang Qiang didn't use the money himself." Zhang Li's words stunned Chen Rufeng, "He was threatened by someone."

"Threat?" Chen Rufeng couldn't believe his ears. "Who would threaten him?"

Zhang Li sighed, "He didn't say who it was, but it looks like the situation is complicated. Wang Qiang didn't tell you because he didn't want to implicate you."

Chen Rufeng's mood was very complicated, with anger, disappointment and doubt intertwined. He looked at Zhang Li and was speechless for a long time.

"Rufeng, I think you should give Wang Qiang another chance." Zhang Li said softly, "Perhaps, you can face this together."

That night, Chen Rufeng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He recalled the days he had spent with Wang Qiang, and the pain and conflict in his heart became more intense. At dawn, he finally made a decision.

The next morning, Chen Rufeng came to the company and found Wang Qiang. He looked at Wang Qiang's haggard face and felt sad. "Qiangzi, we need to talk."

Wang Qiang looked up and saw Chen Rufeng's determined eyes, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He nodded, and the two walked into the office together, closed the door, and sat down.

"Rufeng, I..." Wang Qiang was about to speak, but Chen Rufeng waved his hand, signaling him not to speak.

Chen Rufeng's words made Wang Qiang's eyes red. He lowered his head, was silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke slowly: "Rufeng, I'm really sorry for you. That night, a group of people came to me and threatened me that if I didn't do what they asked, it would be bad for my family."
