Chapter 97: Deciding to Fight Back
Just when Gu Zhiruo was thinking about how to start, Li Quanwang came to her side happily carrying an ice cream cone.
"Here, the strawberry ice cream you asked for."
Gu Zhiruo took the ice cream from Li Quanwang's hand, but her eyes were fixed on Shi Qingxue. She took a big bite and almost froze her teeth off.
Looking at the backs of Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue, Gu Zhiruo pursed her lips, feeling very unconvinced.
I, Gu Zhiruo, will not give up so easily!
Gu Zhiruo seemed to be nonchalantly nodding at Lu Yiming and said, "I think I saw Lu Yiming. Who is the girl next to him? Is she his girlfriend?"
Li Quanwang glanced over there and said casually, "Who are you talking about? Her name is Shi Qingxue, she's a student in our class, she's a loner, but they've always had a good relationship."
Then, he was full of doubts again: "This is weird, he actually came to the concert with Shi Qingxue? I thought he was just joking before..."
Lu Yiming had never mentioned his love for Shi Qingxue to Li Quanwang, so Li Quanwang didn't even notice it. After all, Lu Yiming had a good relationship with Shi Qingxue before, but he had never actively pursued her.
When Gu Zhiruo heard what Li Quanwang said, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she secretly rejoiced in her heart: "It seems that I still have a chance!"
After the concert, Lu Yiming sent Shi Qingxue home. The two walked together under the moonlight, letting the cool evening breeze brush past their ears.
The two stopped in front of a villa.
"I'm home now."
Shi Qingxue lowered her head, looking at her toes that had nowhere to put, feeling extremely reluctant. If possible, she wished that time could stay at this beautiful moment.
"Thank you for inviting me to Jacky Cheung's concert tonight. I'm very happy."
Lu Yiming smiled slightly, his eyes also fell on Shi Qingxue's pretty face: "Thank you for accompanying me to listen to Jacky Cheung's concert tonight, I am very happy."
He would remember that this was the first time in two lifetimes that he held Shi Qingxue's hand.
For him, seizing one's own destiny is more important than making money.
"Good night."
"Good night."
Standing outside the door, Lu Yiming didn't turn around and leave until Shi Qingxue's back disappeared, with a faint smile on his face.
We are finally holding hands. The coming years of youth are really worth looking forward to.
Although Lu Yiming had a happy Friday, he heard some unpleasant news from Li Yiwen on Saturday morning.
"Tongxin Internet Cafe was closed down because it did not meet fire safety standards."
Lu Yiming frowned slightly at his cousin's words.
This reason is so familiar.
In his previous life, he had often heard of such things, but this was the first time it had happened to him.
However, the Internet cafe business is not that important to Lu Yiming now, so when Lu Yiming heard the bad news, he was still calm and said, "Did they say where they didn't meet the standards?"
Li Yiwen snorted and said bitterly, "Nothing. Our Internet cafe has followed your request, with ventilation from front to back, and we even bought fire extinguishers and hung them on the wall. We can be said to be the best in the industry... Alas, it's useless. They just asked us to make corrections as soon as possible, otherwise they won't let us continue to operate. In my opinion, we have offended people."
Lu Yiming got up from the bed and yawned lazily: "Do I need you to tell me this? Even a blind man can see it."
He knew clearly in his mind that this was obviously Wu Jianhao's "backup plan". Apart from him, Lu Yiming felt that no one else would be so bored as to make things difficult for him.
The Internet cafe was closed down and the money lost every day was their own money!
Therefore, Li Yiwen was particularly unhappy: "How can you still laugh?"
Lu Yiming asked back: "Why can't I laugh?"
Li Yiwen thought that Lu Yiming didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and quickly analyzed the current situation for him: "Now part of our cash has been invested in the renovation and equipment purchase of the new store. If the existing stores are closed, the loss will be huge. You have to know that this is not just a matter of making money. If those customers who paid for membership before come and ask for a refund, we will be in trouble. We may even be involved in a lawsuit."
The profits from shorting the ruble are currently still in Hong Kong and have not been transferred back to the mainland.
Because Lu Yiming had said before that it is easy to make money domestically, but some foreign income must be paid in US dollars as principal, so it is best not to use that money if possible.
As a result, the reserve fund of Tongxin Internet Cafe is slightly insufficient. Even if Lu Yiming is able to mobilize funds to settle the matter, it is very likely that someone will interfere and sue them for illegal fundraising or even accuse them of fraud.
Lu Yiming had no choice but to comfort Li Yiwen: "Don't worry, it's just a small matter, don't panic, just let me handle it, I promise nothing will happen."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming's eyes gradually became sharper, his eyes like swords, ready to be unsheathed: "Wu Jianhao, right? Since you want to play with me so much, let's play a big one."
After thinking about it, Lu Yiming roughly guessed why Wu Jianhao did this.
It's simply because he failed to recruit me last time, so he resorted to underhanded tactics to force me to submit.
From the perspective of ordinary people, this behavior is actually very stupid.
It’s like you want to make friends with someone, but the other person doesn’t want to have anything to do with you. Then you get upset and start using the resources and connections at your disposal to bully the other person and force him or her to submit.
It's totally incomprehensible and unreasonable to do this.
But the world is so magical, and the second generation who are reasonable are often a minority.
As the saying goes, the better one's background, the smaller one's temper is, because in daily life, there are too few things and people that can make them unhappy.
If they encounter one or two such incidents, they will become upset and start making trouble.
Just like when a naughty kid steps on an ant to death, does he need to consider the ant’s feelings?
In Wu Jianhao's eyes, Lu Yiming is just an ant, an ant with a little bit of use value.
At this moment, Lu Yiming thought of the stock god Xu. So what if he could trade stocks and manage the market?
Once faced with "force majeure" factors, don't we have to submit?
Lu Yi knew clearly that what Wu Jianhao was going to do next was to spread the news and incite users who had previously recharged money at Tongxin Internet Cafe to come and withdraw their money, demanding that the Internet cafe return their deposits in advance.
This kind of routine is the standard for successful people in street literature, and Lu Yiming is almost sick of it.
"Alas, I just wanted to be a handsome man quietly, why do you have to force me to be a villain?"
After finishing the call with Li Yiwen, Lu Yiming set off for Jingwan Group.
Entering the headquarters building of Jingwan Group, Lu Yiming met the same receptionist as last time.
"Good morning, beautiful lady."
