Pushing open the office door and walking in, I found Shen Xiyu already sitting at her small desk, looking at her computer.
Seeing Chen Ze enter, she raised her eyelids slightly and greeted him, "Good morning, boss."
"Good morning," he replied simply, then sat down at his desk.
"Boss, gold prices in the US have surged, reaching $1,700 an ounce. We've made a lot of money."
Shen Xiyu's words told him that it was about time to stop. He understood Shen Xiyu's feelings; most people who bought stocks and saw them rise by 20%.
They were itching to get up in the middle of the night and sell off their holdings, but Chen Ze was a reborn individual who knew the gold price trend; he wouldn't stop until it reached $1,900 an ounce.
Chen Ze crossed his arms and stared at the computer screen: "Xi Yu, wait a little longer, it hasn't reached the top yet."
Shen Xiyu frowned: "Boss, let's quit while we're ahead. What if we lose money?"
Chen Ze smiled, looking confident and composed: "Don't worry, it won't fall. Listen to me."
Chen Xiyu sighed helplessly: "Alright, boss, I hope you're right."
In the afternoon, Zeng Bojian arrived at the office.
"Boss, after a thorough investigation, we have found out the truth! The original owner of that burly gym is from Hubei Province. His name is Zhao Enping, and he just turned thirty this year. He currently lives in Yuting Garden."
Old Zeng reported the latest situation to Chen Ze with a serious expression.
"Oh? So young and already doing this kind of thing?" Chen Ze frowned slightly, and asked thoughtfully, "Old Zeng, have you found out exactly how many people he's cheated?"
Old Zeng touched his chin and continued:
"It's been confirmed, boss. According to statistics, his gym cheated more than a thousand customers into buying membership cards, with amounts ranging from three thousand to twenty thousand yuan. Preliminary estimates suggest that he defrauded approximately five million yuan through this fraudulent activity."
Chen Ze looked surprised: "You fooled so many people?"
"Yes...and what's even more shocking is that the legal representative of this gym is someone he hired from the countryside for 50,000 yuan. This person is named Luo Dawei, is fifty years old, and is a penniless bachelor."
After listening to Lao Zeng's report, Chen Ze fell into deep thought. How should he deal with this despicable swindler? Threaten him? That didn't seem feasible.
After all, living in a civilized society, simply threatening others probably won't have any real effect.
After much deliberation, Chen Ze finally made up his mind—to give Zhao Enping a taste of his own medicine! Since Zhao Enping dared to use fraudulent means to obtain ill-gotten gains,
Why not set a trap for him too, and let him taste the bitterness of being swindled out of all his wealth? Thinking this, a barely perceptible cold smile crept onto Chen Ze's lips…
Chen Ze tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Suddenly, he thought of a good idea and instructed, "Go and find out if he has any close friends. We'll start with his friends."
"Yes, boss, I'll be right there." With that, Zeng Bojian turned and left the office.
Three days later, Zeng Bojian came to Chen Ze's office again to report on the progress of the matter.
"Boss, we found out that Zhao Enping has a fellow villager named Sun Jinbao, who is a real estate boss. He runs a small real estate company. The two live in the same community and have a very good relationship. They often visit each other in the evening to drink tea and chat."
What is the name of his company?
Zeng Bojian quickly replied, "It's called Anran Real Estate, and the company is located in the suburbs of Nanshan."
Chen Ze waved his hand: "I understand. Go downstairs and prepare the car. We'll visit Anran Real Estate Company in a bit."
Zeng Bojian nodded and turned to leave.
He picked up his phone and called Ye Xiaoman.
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Hey, get to the point. Spit it out."
Chen Ze: "...Um, cousin, can you do me a small favor?"
"explain."
"In an hour, arrange for the fire department and tax bureau to investigate a small company called Anran Real Estate."
“Okay,” Ye Xiaoman said sparingly.
The phone went dead. Chen Ze muttered to himself, "Is she on her period? Sigh—this young lady is hard to get along with."
He put his phone in his pocket, got up, and walked outside.
Three minutes later, he arrived on the first floor, and Zeng Bojian opened the back door for him.
Chen Ze sat down without hesitation.
After Zeng Bojian closed the car door, he got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away from Nanshan Building, heading towards the outskirts of Nanshan.
More than ten minutes later, they arrived safely at the entrance of Anran Real Estate Company.
Chen Ze strode inside.
The receptionist at Anran Real Estate Company asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Chen Ze politely replied, "I'm looking for your General Manager Sun." The receptionist looked Chen Ze up and down: "Do you have an appointment?"
Chen Ze shook his head: "No, but tell him about his friend Zhao Enping, and I believe he will see me."
The receptionist dialed the internal line with some skepticism. Soon, Sun Jinbao appeared in the lobby.
"Who are you? Why are you mentioning Lao Zhao?" Sun Jinbao looked at Chen Ze warily.
Chen Ze smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, let's talk in private for a moment. It doesn't seem very convenient to discuss business here."
When Sun Jinbao saw the three burly bodyguards behind Chen Ze, he knew that the other party was someone important, so he led Chen Ze to his office.
Upon arriving at the office, Chen Ze casually pulled up a chair and sat down, asking first, "As a fellow townsman and friend of Zhao Enping, you must know about Zhao Enping's gym scamming people out of money, right?"
Sun Jinbao's expression changed: "I don't understand what you're saying. What exactly do you want?"
