Su Wu had taken care of everything and felt that there was nothing more for him to do.
He took stock of the funds he could currently mobilize, and his blood pressure was still a bit high.
The Modern City project has cost a lot of money, but it has not achieved the results he wanted.
In this way, even if we manage to pay off our debts this year, we will still face difficulties in developing our business next year.
His sudden withdrawal of all funds was not a good thing for any of the companies.
The Yamaguchi Company is now providing him with a lot of help, especially in getting some advanced equipment.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. What's more, a person without integrity can't stand. What's owed will always be repaid.
"This is so tough for me. The electronics company wants to build a lab, and it'll probably cost hundreds of millions. Otherwise, how do I explain my 90-nanometer chip technology?"
"Also, smartphones and computers need a name to be made. We can't just make them up out of thin air. We have to build a laboratory."
"I'm clearly rich, so why can't I even get any coins into my pocket? What am I doing?"
Upon honest self-reflection, Su Wu realized he had chosen a path of no return.
I originally thought that having technical skills would make me invincible.
In retrospect, the preparations and investments he made to bring a technology to fruition were truly outrageous.
The root of all this is money.
Thinking of this, Su Wu's eyes lit up with greed, and he began to calculate where he could obtain a large amount of funds.
He was thinking about it when Anna called.
"Young Master, Qingqing and I are going to a friend's birthday party today, so you'll have to stay at the studio..."
"Birthday party? When are you leaving?"
"This afternoon, we're going shopping first, then maybe see a movie, and in the evening we'll have dinner and karaoke..."
"Wow, whose princess is celebrating her birthday? It's such a grand affair!"
"Hehe, she's quite a little rich girl. We've booked dinner at the Sihai Hotel tonight, isn't that amazing?"
"Wow, what's this girl's name? Do I know her?"
"Zhao Ximei, you don't know her? She's a senior in her third year."
"Well, it seems I won't be able to get this gigolo job."
Amidst the banter, Su Wu finally got to the bottom of the matter.
However, he became a little sensitive when he heard that the other party's surname was Zhao.
He immediately thought of that old dog Zhao Sihai.
After that, this guy reappeared, gloated to Wang Hu, and then disappeared. I wonder where he's hiding in some corner, plotting something mischievous.
"Damn it, I'm not Cao Cao, why am I so suspicious?"
Shaking his head, Su Wu couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly after hanging up the phone.
However, since Anna and Zhao Qingqing are going to someone else's birthday party, and it's on his turf, he should at least show some appreciation.
He casually made a phone call to the manager of the Sihai Hotel.
"Check for me, is there someone named Zhao Ximei who has booked a banquet?"
"Boss, I checked and there's no table reservation for Zhao Ximei."
After a moment's hesitation, the manager gave his answer.
"No? A birthday party? No?" Su Wu asked, somewhat puzzled.
The manager checked the orders again and again, only to find a birthday banquet.
"Boss, there's only one birthday banquet table available tonight. It's the 1888 set menu booked by Mr. Yao. His phone number is..."
"Mr. Yao? The phone number is...?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wu unconsciously repeated the number, feeling as if he had seen it before.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: This is Yao Junjun's phone number!
Yao Junjun?
A character resembling "川" appeared between Su Wu's brows, and he couldn't help but stroke his chin and ponder.
After a moment, he pressed on, "Is there any other information?"
"We also booked a VIP room at a KTV, and ordered all the drinks. It's for the 9 PM session," the manager answered truthfully.
What a coincidence!
Su Wu inwardly grumbled, immediately sensing a conspiracy.
"Keep an eye on this and see who's participating. Report back to me as soon as possible."
After giving the order, Su Wu hung up the phone.
He always felt that something was wrong, that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Based on his experience watching countless melodramatic dramas, he judged that something was bound to happen tonight.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately called Wang Bing, the head of security.
"Soldier, find a few good men, make sure they wear hats, masks, and gloves, and have them stand by at Sihaiju at 8 pm."
Sihaiju is Su Wu's independent studio behind the Sihai Hotel.
Su Wu made this arrangement as a precaution.
Upon hearing this, Wang Bing immediately understood, "Should we resort to more drastic measures?"
"Hopefully we won't need them. We'll just find a few people who are tight-lipped and don't talk much."
"No problem, are 10 people enough?"
"That's enough, go and make the arrangements, prepare one for me too."
After giving the instructions, Su Wu exhaled a breath of stale air and headed out to the studio.
Around 7 p.m., the manager called Su Wu.
"Boss, a group of young women have arrived, they all look like college students. But Mr. Yao also booked a private room, there are about 6 or 7 people there, all men."
"Okay, I understand. Let me know if anything happens."
Su Wu was somewhat agitated upon receiving the news.
The current mobile phones are still too poor; they can't even send a photo. Otherwise, it would be easier for him to make a judgment.
After giving a few instructions at the studio, he headed to Sihaiju.
Time passed slowly, and Su Wu sat in the monitoring room, relaxed and at ease.
Around 9 o'clock, he saw Anna and the others laughing and joking as they walked towards the KTV room.
