That evening, after washing up, Lu Wanqing was about to lie down when Lin Chunhua anxiously called her from the doorway.
"Sister Chunhua, what is this?" Lu Wanqing hurriedly invited her in.
Lin Chunhua anxiously began to tell her about her encounter with Qi Wei outside that day.
It turned out that after Luo Hao finished decorating Lin Ye's villa today, he saw a very good mutton soup restaurant on Yingu Street and thought he would invite Lin Chunhua to try it.
Lin Chunhua loved mutton soup, so she readily agreed.
While the two were eating mutton soup with flatbread in the shop, a heated argument came from next door.
Lin Chunhua recognized one of the voices and went out to look around, only to find Qi Wei there.
Next door is a restaurant called Lao Tan's Home-Style Cuisine, which the owner rented from Zhao Huai'an.
Now that Qi Wei wants to buy the restaurant, he has to kick the owner out, and the restaurant owner definitely won't stand for it.
First, he has already paid two years' rent, and the lease is not yet due. Second, the restaurant is still profitable, so why should he move out?
Qi Wei, however, said that he had already bought the restaurant and could do whatever he wanted with it, and that he would just have to compensate them a little money.
Both sides stuck to their own versions of events and refused to back down.
Zhao Huai'an had no choice but to pull Qi Wei out first and discuss with him how to resolve the issue.
"Mr. Zhao, I've already found a good location for this store. I can pay them any compensation they want. I'll give you 100,000 yuan tomorrow and make sure they move out."
Qi Wei was determined to acquire this store.
"Wanqing, I didn't expect him to still be alive, and he even has some money in his hands. Shouldn't we be on guard?" Lin Chunhua said finally.
Lu Wanqing put her arm around her shoulder and laughed:
"Actually, I already knew about Qi Wei's situation during the day and told them all, but I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chunhua's tension immediately dissipated. Knowing that Lu Wanqing was on guard, she no longer needed to worry.
"How are things between you and Luo Hao?" Lu Wanqing shifted the topic to her relationship.
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"It's just about having meals together. Now I'm in charge of making sure he gets the work done as soon as possible so we can finish decorating the villa."
Lu Wanqing smiled, led her to choose a gift, and stopped teasing her.
It's just a matter of mutual affection; given enough time, the unspoken understanding will naturally come to fruition.
Unfortunately, the two of them wasted so many years.
After Lin Chunhua left, Lu Wanqing lay on the bed for a long time, thinking about how to deal with Qi Wei.
The next day, she went to her office and called Huo Xiao over.
Huo Xiao was very efficient and had already investigated the relationship between Qi Wei and Zhao Huai'an.
They even got a rough idea of their relationship with Sun Wei.
Lu Wanqing still admired his ability to gather information.
After listening, she pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said:
"As far as I know, the shop that Qi Wei wants to buy has already been rented. Starting today, you should arrange for more people to eat at that restaurant to give the owner the illusion that business is booming."
Then you write an anonymous letter to Zhao Huai'an, saying that Qi Wei was in the same batch of educated youth as me when he went to the countryside, and that he admired me back then.
Huo Xiao stood tall and elegant, listening attentively to her words and silently taking notes. Suddenly, his pupils dilated as he looked at her.
"Mr. Lu, is it true that Qi Wei admires you?"
So it turns out Qi Wei and she have such a dramatic past. With his limp, he actually dared to dream of marrying a swan. I'll make sure he gets what's coming to him!
Lu Wanqing didn't want to say too much, only saying:
"Just do it this way and achieve your goal. As for Sun Wei, have someone keep an eye on him for now, and we'll deal with it if anything happens."
Qi Wei's father donated part of his liver to save his son. The kindness shown in this act cannot be erased by a few words. We must find another way to repay this debt.
Huo Xiao nodded, and after finishing explaining these matters, he gave her the list of the hotel project preparation team he had drafted for her to decide.
"Yes, these people are all fine. You can talk to them directly. Make sure they are clean." Lu Wanqing signed the list, not forgetting to remind him.
She hates employees who betray their company the most. They are paid by her but work for others. She fires them one by one and ruins their reputation in the industry, making it impossible for them to find a good job again.
......
Qi Wei withdrew the money from the bank, and the thought of being able to get the restaurant soon filled him with excitement.
To be honest, he hadn't thought he absolutely had to take over that restaurant before, but seeing the huge flow of people inside, he realized that the restaurant was a real goldmine, and if he opened it himself, he would definitely make a fortune.
He arranged to meet Zhao Huai'an at the restaurant entrance, and he arrived early to wait.
Watching the crowds pouring into the restaurant, he felt even more smug, holding his head high and imagining how busy he would be once he took over the restaurant.
I'll definitely hire a lot of people then, so I can experience being a capitalist.
But he waited and waited, and Zhao Huai'an never appeared.
He had 100,000 yuan in his pocket, which was a huge sum of money, and he refused it when someone offered it to him?
He was both angry and confused. Carrying the bag of money, he limped toward Zhao Huai'an's house.
After receiving the anonymous letter, Zhao Huai'an learned that Qi Wei had feelings for Lu Wanqing. It turned out that they had conspired to embarrass him in public.
He even wants to buy a shop, but who knows what kind of bad intentions he's up to?
He wasn't home, but his wife was. When she saw someone bringing so much money, she couldn't stop smiling and said that Zhao Huai'an would be back soon.
To everyone's surprise, when Zhao Huai'an returned, he saw Qi Wei with a long face, indicating that he would not sell the shop to him again.
Qi Wei, with his thick skin like a durian peel, wasn't about to give up so easily. He relentlessly pursued him, even bringing up Sun Wei as a lifeline.
"Don't you know what you've done? I already know. Back when you were a sent-down youth, you pursued Lu Wanqing. Why would you be so kind as to give me advice?"
Unable to escape the entanglement, Zhao Huai'an had no choice but to reveal the truth.
Upon hearing this, Qi Wei laughed instead.
“President Zhao, I don’t know where you heard these things from, and I don’t deny it, but I must tell you that I have an irreconcilable feud with Lu Wanqing. She’s the one who crippled my leg, and she’s the person I hate most in this life!”
"Are you serious?" Zhao Huai'an rolled his eyes at him.
"Absolutely true, I would never joke about something like this."
Qi Wei made repeated assurances, but Zhao Huai'an still didn't intend to sell the shop to him. He only said that if he wanted to rent it, he could consider terminating the lease with the current tenant, but he would have to pay the compensation.
"Alright then," Qi Wei conceded.
That shop is doing so well, once he moves in, he'll definitely make a fortune. What does it matter if it's mine or not?
The rent for that shop was 6,000 yuan a year, and the breach of contract compensation was 3,000 yuan for six months' rent. He paid five years' rent in one lump sum.
If Zhao Huai'an wants to sell it within this timeframe, he has the right of first refusal; however, if he sells it to someone else, he will have to compensate Zhao Huai'an with one year's rent.
After the deal was settled, Qi Wei took the contract to the old tenant to ask for the shop space.
The elderly tenant wasn't one to be trifled with; he immediately threw the three thousand yuan the man had given him on the ground and told him to get lost...
