After hanging up the phone, Du Shaojie received a call from Pang Weidong's friend before he left the manager's office.
"I'm sorry, Boss Du, when I introduced the storefront before, I didn't know the situation inside. It's too late to talk about it now. The landlord wants to talk to you and try to solve some remaining problems as soon as possible."
"Okay, then let's meet. You tell me a place and I'll go there."
Du Shaojie sneered in his heart. By now he was sure that Pang Weidong's friend was definitely not a good person.
And the landlord, these people's routines one after another, he wanted to see what tricks the other party wanted to play.
Later, Du Shaojie met the landlord and Liang Bicheng in a cafe.
Liang Bicheng was Pang Weidong's friend, about 40 years old, bald, and always had a smile on his face.
"Mr. Du, I have a problem here. The house may be auctioned. I won't talk about the details. Anyway, I was cheated.
I am borrowing money everywhere, but I am still short of it, so I came to you today. I hope you can lend me some money. I will deal with this matter, and then I will sign a long-term preferential agreement with you."
The landlord spoke first, saying that because the mortgage loan could not be repaid, the creditor sued for auctioning the property.
In order to keep the storefront, he could only borrow money to pay off the debt. As long as the debt was paid off, the house would still be his. The implication was that Du Shaojie's lease would not be affected.
The landlord agreed that the rent could be used to offset the loan, and the rent could be given a long-term preferential price.
Du Shaojie couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Did the other party regard him as a "Kaizi" or a "fool"?
He perfunctorily said a few words, and then hurried away on the pretext that he needed time to think about it.
In the evening, he received a call from Pang Weidong, and when he told these things, the other party was so angry that he scolded Liang Bicheng.
"Dongzi, don't make this public yet. I have to go to the court to apply for protection of my rights. Aren't you a wild man? Introduce me someone who is familiar with this matter."
It was too late to transfer people from the company, so Du Shaojie had to rely on Pang Weidong.
Pang Weidong felt guilty that he didn't know people well, so he used his connections to find him an old comrade who had just retired from the court.
The old lady's surname was Zhang, and her name was Zhang Cixin.
She was very famous in the local area. Du Shaojie politely set up a table at [Xichuan Restaurant] and sincerely asked Zhang Cixin for help.
"Mr. Du, thanks to your extra care, I can now tell you responsibly that the rent, deposit and decoration money you invested will not be returned."
Du Shaojie, Pang Weidong and Zhang Cixin chatted while eating, and Zhang Cixin quickly understood the situation of the matter.
She then said something shocking, confusing both Du Shaojie and Pang Weidong.
"Aunt Zhang, didn't you say that before the auction, tenants can apply to protect their rights?"
"That's true, but this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The landlord and Ma Shiqi are originally in the same group. They have used this property to cheat many people.
If I'm not mistaken, the two have been setting up a trap for President Du from the beginning. First, they will cheat your rent and deposit, and then they will cheat your money in different ways."
Zhang Cixin sighed. This Ma Shiqi relied on his background to cheat outsiders.
As long as you rent their house, unless you admit your loss and get out of the game at the beginning, you will be hooked by the "sunk cost" and continue to invest in it.
Just the old lady knows that this property has multiple mortgages. Even if the property is auctioned, the creditors will suffer huge losses.
"Ma Shiqi and his people are about to be exposed. President Du, you are the last fat sheep they are looking for. After you are dealt with, I guess they should run away."
The old lady is not only famous in the local area, but she also knows all kinds of monsters.
She advised Du Shaojie not to have any more luck and to be prepared to stop the loss in time. There was no point in reporting the case. After all, the other party had not been paid yet. The best way was to ignore them.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang, you have helped me a lot."
Du Shaojie thanked the old lady, and sent the other party back after eating and drinking.
Pang Weidong was a little unwilling and said, "Ajie, we can't let them get away with it so easily. Next, let's collect some evidence and then report the case. According to Aunt Zhang, there are more than one victim, so you can also contact them."
"Well, I still have to go to the court to file an application. No matter how much I can get back, I will queue up first."
Du Shaojie nodded, knowing that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.
The loss is certain, and we will take as much as we can recover, but we can't let Ma Shiqi and others have an easy time.
The two worked hard for a few days and gained a lot. At least they found two victims. Du Shaojie pretended to be friendly with Ma Shiqi and others, while reporting the case in the name of the company.
The reason for reporting the case was naturally the other party's fraudulent behavior. With him taking the lead, other victims dared to show up. This shows how rampant Ma Shiqi and others were in the local area.
Pang Weidong also used some connections, and the landlord and Liang Bicheng were arrested, but Ma Shiqi got wind of it in advance and ran away.
"Damn it, this case was directly reported to the city, and the higher-ups took it very seriously, but it still turned out like this."
Pang Weidong was very dissatisfied with this result, but he had no way to investigate further.
Ma Shiqi had a complicated relationship with some local people, otherwise how could he have been so arrogant for so many years?
But after the incident was exposed, no one dared to cover up, but it did not mean that nothing could be done. The disappearance of Ma Shiqi made some people secretly relieved.
The business of [Xichuan Restaurant] is getting better and better, but Du Shaojie and others are not happy.
The storefront is very troublesome, involving many creditors. No one knows what will happen in the future. It is completely open one day at a time.
Du Shaojie also applied for rights protection, but the current situation is that there are too many monks and too little porridge, and it is difficult to recover much loss.
"Ajie, I have to go back. There are still a lot of things at home. Don't be anxious about this matter. You learn a lesson from your mistakes. We brothers have paid for a lesson."
Pang Weidong left Chang'an with a depressed mood. This time, he can't be blamed, but it has something to do with him after all.
Du Shaojie is open-minded. It's better for this kind of thing to happen early than late. It teaches a lesson to the company. There are many scammers these days, and the laws and regulations are not sound. You have to be more careful in doing things in the future.
Privately, he and Zhang Cixin often interacted with each other.
The old lady could give him a lot of professional advice, and he didn't let her work in vain. During this period, he also gave her a considerable hard work fee.
"Mr. Du, you have to be mentally prepared. The court plans to auction this property next week, and the proceeds will be paid to everyone in order. You can only pray that the new landlord is easier to talk to, otherwise you will lose a lot."
The court's processing speed is very fast, and the judicial auction will be held next week.
Zhang Cixin told Du Shaojie in advance, suggesting that he could make a decision early, and if it really doesn't work, he can only find another storefront.
Du Shaojie thought about it and asked, "Aunt Zhang, I plan to bid for this property. I'll trouble you to take my people to register later."
He thought about it these days and felt that the best way was to buy this storefront himself. The rent and deposit paid in the past will definitely be lost in large part, but the decoration and other expenses will not be wasted.
"Mr. Du, your idea is good. However, due to the huge debt involved in this property, the starting price is not low. You have to think about it. If you have made up your mind, I will help you." "
I have decided to buy this property, Aunt Zhang, thank you for your help."
Du Shaojie's attitude was very firm, and he did not want to miss this opportunity.
Zhang Cixin nodded, and then began to arrange the auction. After all, she was familiar with all aspects.
Meng Gang flew over a day in advance. He and the relevant employees were responsible for this matter. Naturally, the boss could not be left alone to deal with the aftermath.
I thought the competition might be fierce, but on the day of the auction, there were very few bidders.
Because the starting price was set a little higher, many people did not even bid during the whole process. In the end, Du Shaojie successfully bought the property at a high price of 430,000 yuan.
The "idlers" who came to make trouble at the beginning of the opening no longer showed up, and Du Shaojie could finally return to Xijiang with peace of mind.
However, before leaving, he also left a foreshadowing, and asked someone to spread a small piece of news. Whoever can provide the exact whereabouts of Ma Shiqi can get a reward of 2,000 yuan after catching him.
This kind of reward may be useful or useless, so just treat it as a casual move.
Du Shaojie accompanied his mother and Xiaoya back to his hometown for more than half a month. When the training center in Yangcheng was completed, he left first and went back to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"Master, the training center will be handed over to you in the future."
After the training center was completed, Liao Yongxin took office and became the manager of the center.
Chu Linlin is the deputy manager of the training center, responsible for daily work outside of training.
In the future, the training of each store under the company will be institutionalized and standardized. After it is put into operation, there is basically no need to worry about talent.
The first phase of the advanced training class (Sichuan chef) was opened, Liao Yongxin and Zhou Huai'en personally served as lecturers, and Du Shaojie also took the time to give a class.
The restaurant of the training center has drawn a group of backbones from [Xichuan Restaurant] and [Sichuan Cuisine Square] in various places, and at the same time took on the heavy responsibility of training and external business.
The same goes for the housekeeping department. In addition to receiving employees who come for training, it will also be open to the public.
The training restaurant and the housekeeping department are both under the management of Chu Linlin, and Liao Yongxin is responsible for the overall management and training.
At the end of the summer vacation, Qi Yan suddenly came to Yangcheng.
"Shaojie, my mother went to Beijing for the summer vacation, and I came to see you right after she left."
Qi Yan missed Du Shaojie, but he had not been to Beijing, so she took the initiative to come and see him.
This made Du Shaojie feel quite guilty.
"My mother hasn't come back yet, and Xiaomei and I are the only ones at home. How about you live here?"
Du Shaojie didn't know what Qi Yan was thinking, and Wang Yuxiu would be back soon, so he had to ask.
Seeing that his courtyard had many rooms, Qi Yan nodded, picked a guest room and put her luggage in. (End of this chapter)
