Chapter 28
"What! She mortgaged the Lirong Hotel?" After listening to Qi Shuo's report, Cheng Huaian felt a headache and felt a throbbing pain in his temples.
When Qi Shuo first got the news, he was also in disbelief. He lost a real cash cow for a crappy program that might not make money. He really couldn't understand whether Rong Susu was doing business to make money or lose money.
If you think the money is too much, why not give the hotel to yourself? He will definitely be able to run it very well!
"I'm working with Murray, but we haven't signed a contract yet." He added that the boss must know this person.
"And these two have been playing golf together frequently recently." After hesitating for a long time, Qi Shuo decided to tell Cheng Huaian the news.
Let's talk about business. Why do two single men and women have to make an appointment to play golf? Besides, wouldn't it be enough to play once? Why play twice in a row?
Under Mr. Cheng's intentional or unintentional hints, there have been rumors recently that they are faking their divorce. Mr. Rong turned around and slapped him in the face. Where can the boss put his face?
Humph, a sneer appeared on his handsome face.
That day at Chen Hui's house, this person came up and introduced himself, saying that he was his junior, but Cheng Huaian really looked down on this person and ignored him.
Besides, he didn't take these small banks seriously, and the Dawn Group would not cooperate with these small institutions, so he didn't even talk to them.
I had completely forgotten about this person, but I didn't expect him to be so petty and turn around and cut off his financial support.
"Mr. Cheng, this Murray is also unmarried." Qi Shuo was afraid that Cheng Huaian didn't know the inside story, so he quickly added important information.
He had heard that Murray was very attentive to Rong Susu. Now it seemed that maybe he had other intentions.
The slender knuckles tapped rhythmically on the smooth desk, and a layer of coldness covered the man's elegant and handsome face. It seems that Murray wants to kill two birds with one stone. Cheng Huaian snorted coldly.
I didn't expect that this junior student caught his eye in this way. It will have to see how capable this guy is.
How much does it cost to produce a small program? Li Rong Hotel is a real industry. Rong Susu made a bad move. Cheng Huaian believed that she was being used.
"First, send someone to the pawn shop to check all the jewelry under her name to see if any of it has been pawned. All the pawned items must be bought back and paid from my own account." Cheng Huaian ordered.
Nothing else matters, but if she pawns the pink diamond ring, Cheng Huaian will never let Rong Susu go.
There was also a diamond bracelet lying in the safe in the office. It was the gift he had originally wanted to give to Rong Susu for their seventh wedding anniversary, but the two of them parted ways before the gift arrived.
Cheng Huaian stroked the letter R on the bracelet. The diamond shone brightly in the sunlight. Rong Susu loved this kind of luxurious jewelry the most.
Because their wedding was too simple, even the wedding rings were plain, so he always wanted to compensate Rong Susu and give her all the best.
Now, look what she did not cherish, and mortgaged the hotel immediately. She is such a heartless woman.
As soon as he left the office, Qi Shuo met someone who shouldn't be here.
"Manager Cui, your level of competence does not allow you to report directly to the general manager. Please go back." He politely sent the man away.
Cui Ying was not angry. "I wasn't looking for Mr. Cheng. I came to see you."
Hearing this, Qi Shuo raised an eyebrow. Why are you looking for him? It seems that his work doesn't have much intersection with the administrative department.
Knowing his doubts, Cui Ying smiled and said, "I wonder if you have heard the news, but Director Zhang Zhihe has been fired, and Ronghe has called the police."
Qi Shuo...
***
In fact, Rong Susu has a lot of feelings for the Lirong Hotel and really doesn't want to mortgage it unless it is absolutely necessary.
But I had to make this bet with Cheng Huaian. I had found a spokesperson and the production team was ready. The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. It was all my fault that I still lacked business experience. I should have prepared the funds earlier.
It's a bit too late to regret now. Murray is already prepared. He told her yesterday that he would prepare a grand cooperation ceremony and invite media reporters to announce this strategic cooperation relationship to the outside world.
Rong Susu felt like she was being roasted on a fire. She was so anxious that several pimples broke out on her chin, and no acne patches worked.
As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I heard my phone vibrating. It was Murray.
"President Mu, what's the matter so late?" Rong Susu asked after answering the phone.
"Mr. Rong, I've already negotiated with the bank. This loan will definitely have the lowest interest rate. If it's convenient, we can sign the contract the day after tomorrow."
Murray was busy socializing, and after hanging up the phone, he excitedly boasted to the other party, "The Liming Group is not an iron wall. Isn't this a breakthrough?"
The other party began to flatter him, "That's right, our Mu Xingzhang is here, it's really one against a hundred! As soon as he takes office, he will teach Cheng Huaian a lesson. It's their fault for not taking us seriously all these years."
They are a small bank, but in order to win the client of Liming Group, they moved their building to be closer to Liming headquarters. The senior management went to Cheng Huaian every few days, either on business trips or in meetings. Nine times out of ten, they didn't see him. Cheng Huaian never took them seriously, and everyone felt frustrated.
Although we are not connected with the Dawn Group now, we can still give Cheng Huaian some trouble and make everyone feel proud.
"My senior is always so arrogant in school." Murray smiled proudly. He was so excited when he first entered the university. This is the top university in the country. Those who are admitted are all chosen by the gods. He was full of confidence that he would study hard and still become the best here.
At that time, rumors about Cheng Huaian were everywhere in the school, and he was also curious about this person. What kind of person was he that was sought after by these students who looked down on each other?
A coding competition completely convinced him. With his talent and strength overwhelming him, Murray knew that on this track, with the man on the podium in front of him, he would never be able to stand out, so he decisively changed tracks.
His target has never been Rong Susu, but if he can control Rong Susu, Cheng Huaian will lose face. Besides, seeing how Cheng Huaian couldn't let go of his ex-wife at the last banquet, he is sure that he made the right move.
***
The call ended so quickly. Lying on the bed, Rong Susu felt more and more uneasy the more she thought about it. She tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
Ever since she called Murray at the beginning, she felt like she was being pushed forward and things were getting more and more out of control.
Because she couldn't sleep, she simply got up and opened her phone. There was already a 99-plus message notification on the Li An APP, so she clicked it curiously.
She was really shocked when she saw it. Nanyou Jiayu alone sent more than 50 messages, all urging her to go online.
[Friend, haven’t you played recently? ]
【Friend, did you uninstall the game? 】
…
Tsk, we all know who each other is, why pretend to be friends?
Rong Susu laughed. With all the things that happened recently, she had forgotten about this person.
The other party must have received a notification that he was online, and sent a message almost immediately.
[Ms. Rong, you actually know how to go online.]
Haha, it’s better for adults to be sincere with each other.
What can I do for you, Mr. Yan?
Yan Jiayu had just gotten off work. He was personally overseeing a recent merger and acquisition case. He was so tired when he got home that he didn't want to move. Just as he was about to play a game, he received a notification that Rong Susu was online.
I'm going to Licheng tomorrow afternoon. I'd like to invite you to dinner tomorrow night. Would you be so kind?
I'll arrange it.
Rong Susu agreed. Yan Jiayu was an expert in financing, and perhaps she could consult him on some matters.
Another business consultation for the price of a dinner—it was quite a good deal, she thought.
This was the third time Rong Susu met Yan Jiayu. Unlike the previous times when she was dressed casually, this time she was dressed in formal attire, and it was obvious that a formal meeting had just ended.
Rong Susu decided to have dinner at Li Rong's Western restaurant. Anyway, there was nothing to hide now.
"I heard that you mortgaged this place to Murray's bank." When not talking about paintings, Yan Jiayu became more formal, with a serious look like Cheng Huaian.
Rong Susu raised her eyebrows. It turned out that people knew so much about it.
"If I were you, I wouldn't recommend doing this. The risk is too great." Yan Jiayu suggested very seriously.
While chatting with a client this afternoon, he heard about this incident.
Murray has a bad reputation in the industry. He is unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Otherwise, how could he be promoted from a relationship manager to a vice president in just ten years?
Then he asked his men to check Murray's background and actually found some interesting information.
After he said that, Rong Susu became serious, put down her wine glass, and looked serious.
Yan Jiayu asked, "Don't you do background checks before working with someone?"
Really not, Rong Susu shook her head. Although she has a lot of academic qualifications, she actually has no practical experience at all. She started to explore everything on her own this year.
Yan Jiayu sighed. She had been protected too well by Cheng Huaian. She would always fail if she started her own business.
"Murray's backer is Dia Investment. You may not have heard of this investment company, but Cheng Huaian must have heard of it."
The industry has studied Li An's success too many times, but no one has been able to replicate his path to success.
Diya was the first to contact Cheng Huaian, but the two sides had a very unpleasant dispute because Diya's investment agency harassed female employees and terminated the cooperation.
Diya once wanted to ban Li An in the industry, but because of the intervention of Hongyun Capital, Li An succeeded.
The duck that was in hand flew away, which led to a major reshuffle of the entire Diya investment team. They could have relied on Li Anya to make a perfect comeback, so how could they swallow this?
This year, Diya’s former investment director made a comeback, probably trying to make things difficult for Cheng Huaian.
"I became part of their play?"
Rong Susu was a little shocked. She felt that she was so stupid to get on someone else's pirate ship.
Yan Jiayu didn't know who the female employee was back then, but she knew in her heart that Cheng Huaian offended Diya Investment because of her.
"It's not a game, it's a game. The business world is just that cruel."
Yan Jiayu corrected her, saying that Play is just children playing house, while gambling is the real thing.
"The contract hasn't been signed yet. Everything is still under your control." Yan Jiayu comforted Rong Susu and told her not to worry.
“I recommend that you don’t suddenly try a track you’re not familiar with. This is the most common mistake made by newcomers.”
Newcomer, in front of these smart people, I am indeed a newbie.
Rong Susu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that her feeling was right. She really had become a pawn in the hands of others.
That time she asked Murray to play golf and also asked for a loan.
Originally, she wanted to mortgage the gallery, but Murray said that their bank did not accept galleries as collateral and suggested that she mortgage the Li Rong Hotel.
Rong Susu was very hesitant, and Murray told her not to worry, he would also bring sponsors to the show and solve the publicity and promotion problems.
"If this show becomes a big hit, your company, President Rong, will become famous in the industry, and resources will surely pour in in the future." Murray assured her, patting his chest.
During this period, she encountered many setbacks and was mentally exhausted. Everyone was suppressing her program, saying that she was unrealistic. Suddenly, someone affirmed her, and Rong Susu was easily fooled.
Maybe Murray was causing trouble for her because she couldn't get investment. The company's internal problems haven't been solved yet, and now external troubles have come. It seems she still has a lot to learn.
"I heard that this is the hotel you're staying in this time, and all expenses are free."
Rong Susu calmed down. Now was not the time to feel disappointed, as there would be tough battles to fight later.
Yan Jiayu was a little amused and joked, "Ms. Rong, I'm giving you such important information, so please waive some of my accommodation fees."
"Well, I'm grateful for your kindness." Rong Susu clinked glasses with Yan Jiayu and drank it all in one gulp. She felt that she was becoming more and more shameless.
What an interesting woman! Yan Jiayu was dazed for a moment when she saw the bright face in front of her, but fortunately she reacted immediately and thought that Cheng Huaian really had no taste.
When I got home, the lights in the living room and kitchen were still on.
Rong Susu was a little confused. Why didn't Aunt Wang go to bed at this time? Normally, she didn't need to wait for her, she could just leave a light on.
As soon as I entered the entrance hall and changed into slippers, I saw Aunt Wang approaching me anxiously, "Susu, Mr. Cheng has been waiting for you all night."
Rong Susu!!!
It’s so late, what is Cheng Huaian doing here?
Aunt Wang also looked a little embarrassed. She pointed to the living room and said, "I brought a lot of things. Xiao Qi moved them twice."
Giving gifts so late at night? That doesn't seem like Cheng Huaian's style.
You're not here to ask for reconciliation, are you? Rong Susu raised her head proudly and sneered.
Look, it's only been a few days since the divorce and he already found that he couldn't forget his old love. He asked her out through Fang Yaozhen and pretended to be intimate with her at Chen Hui's house. All men have the same character. What they can't get is always the best.
