Zhou Ruan will not let the only chance slip away.
He took out a sign and placed it at the door, his eyes fixed on Liu Shang who was walking over.
He gave Liu Shang a subtle look, trying to get him to come in through the back door.
"Don't swagger around like that," he said, pointing to the sign at the shop entrance.
Liu Shang, who was walking over, saw Zhou Ruan and noticed the "Closed for Business" sign at the entrance.
He glanced at Zhou Ruan's eyes and knew what Zhou Ruan was worried about.
However, Liu Shang did not stop. Ignoring Zhou Ruan standing at the door, he opened the door and walked into the coffee shop.
Zhou Ruan froze on the spot, wondering if he hadn't seen her hint.
He glanced nervously at Gu Hai's other men across the street, but they all seemed oblivious, looking around nervously.
It was as if they hadn't seen Liu Shang enter the coffee shop at all.
Confused and bewildered, Zhou Ruan carried the "Closed for Business" sign back into the store.
Liu Shang was already sitting in a chair, looking around the coffee shop.
"Why did you come in through the front door? Didn't I already warn you?"
Holding the sign, he pointed and asked Liu Shang angrily.
“I know! I don’t like walking through the back. Even though the front door is open, I came in through here, and it’s very close.”
Liu Shang smiled as he looked at the angry Zhou Ruan.
"You, what about Gu Hai's other men? When they saw you come in and make contact with us, won't you go back and continue to be whipped?"
Liu Shang recalled that he had mistakenly thought they had paid off their debts and returned home, and was whipped ten times.
"If I secretly contacted them, I'd be beaten to death!" she shouted angrily at Liu Shang.
"I really didn't expect you to care about me so much!"
Seeing Zhou Ruan getting more and more excited, Liu Shang smiled and said to Zhou Ruan.
Upon hearing Liu Shang's words, Zhou Ruan's face immediately turned red.
He thought to himself: That's right! What does it have to do with me? If it weren't for my sister, who would bother with a thug?
"Mind your own business. See what you'll do when you get back."
Zhou Ruan ignored him, rolled her eyes at Liu Shang, and said irritably.
"Hahaha, do you think I'm that stupid? The people outside are all my people, and most of the people in the company now obey me. Apart from a few die-hard followers who are still loyal to Gu Hai, the company is basically under my control."
"What?"
Zhou Ruan was so shocked by what Liu Shang said that her mouth dropped open.
I never expected that the person in front of me would be so meticulous.
"This must be Mr. Liu. It's not a good time to talk business outside. Please come with me."
Zhou Wen had already come out and had been hiding in the back when she heard Liu Shang say that he had taken control of Gu Hai's company.
Feeling that there was truly hope this time, he smiled and walked out to Liu Shang.
"good."
Liu Shang looked at Zhou Wen and asked her to come to his office to discuss it.
She got up, glanced at Zhou Ruan beside her, and then walked in the direction Zhou Wen had just been.
"Zhizhi, go make three cups of coffee and bring them to the office later."
Zhou Ruan gave Zhizhi some instructions and then followed Liu Shang into the office.
"I've always heard about how amazing Boss Zhou is, and seeing him today, I can confirm that he's truly extraordinary."
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Shang complimented Zhou Wen, who possessed excellent temperament and appearance.
"Mr. Liu, let's not talk about anything else. Let's discuss our cooperation."
When Liu Shang praised her, Zhou Wen didn't react much.
After all, he had heard this kind of talk hundreds or even thousands of times, so he was completely unmoved as he spoke to Liu Shang.
“Alright, Mr. Zhou is a man of few words, and I, Liu Shang, am not one to mince words either. You all know why I’m here today: to get Gu Hai out of his current position.”
Liu Shang briefly explained his thoughts to Zhou Wen across from him.
"Oh? Why do you want to cooperate with us? You already control Gu Hai's company, what do you need us for?"
Zhou Wen recalled what Liu Shang had said in the hall earlier and asked him in confusion.
After all, they already control the company, so why would they need to cooperate with those two women? Isn't that redundant?
"You may not know this, but although I control most of the company, there are still Gu Hai's subordinates inside. Gu Hai was once chased by his enemies and almost got killed. Since then, he has stopped coming out and has been hiding in his secret base inside the company. When you went there before, you were taken there."
Hearing Zhou Wen's simple explanation, Liu Shang couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
If it were that easy to bring down Gu Hai, he wouldn't have waited until now.
"So what do you want us to do?"
Zhou Wen thought that Gu Hai had built the company from scratch.
If Liu Shang were to seize it so easily, he would have no one to threaten his head.
However, Zhou Wen still didn't know what Liu Shang's purpose was in seeking her out, given that he could pull such tricks right under Gu Hai's nose.
“Boss Zhou, I know you are being threatened by Gu Hai right now. He desperately wants to use your sister’s situation to force you to marry him. My purpose in contacting you is to help you stall Gu Hai.”
Seeing the suspicion on Zhou Wen's face, Liu Shang quickly revealed his purpose.
"Let us stall Gu Hai. Stalling him is easier said than done. He said he must give me an answer by tomorrow, otherwise my sister's matter will be made public."
Upon hearing Liu Shang's plan, Zhou Wen looked at him with a grim expression and said helplessly.
"I have an idea for you. You can get involved with the Jiang Group. I've heard that the Jiang Group has been in frequent contact with you. The chairman of that group is named Lu Fan. You must know him."
Liu Shang already knew he would get an answer tomorrow, and he had already come up with a plan, so he said to Zhou Wen.
"You mean Lu Fan? What does he have to do with this? Besides, he won't help us deal with Gu Hai."
Standing behind Zhou Wen, Zhou Ruan heard them say they wanted to lean on Lu Fan and asked directly.
"Right now, there's only one person who can help you stall Gu Hai, and I see that they have a good relationship with you! Can't you even ask him for a favor?"
Liu Shang was also puzzled when he saw Zhou Ruan so excited about Lu Fan.
I saw them chatting and laughing when I was watching them, and it hasn't been that long.
He thought to himself: Women are always fickle.
"Then how do you need Lu Fan to help us?"
Zhou Wen frowned and continued to ask Liu Shang.
“Lu Fan’s Jiang Group is an investment company. Gu Hai is just someone who manages the company. He is not the big boss.”
Liu Shang told the two women the secret of Gu Hai's company.
