Chapter 117 [117] He can’t even get involved in other people’s business…
"...That's basically it. Mr. Chen's actions are dishonest. He's clearly relying on his wealth and power to rob people."
Assistant Fan adjusted his glasses and reported in detail what he had learned about the lawsuit between the Chen family and Zhang Lancao.
Shen Yu bent his knuckles and tapped on the table: "This is how the Chen family's ancestors made their fortune. It can be said to be a family tradition. Mr. Zhang's disadvantage is that his foundation is not strong enough." This is both in terms of financial resources and connections.
If someone who knew the situation had told her, they probably wouldn't have been fooled by Mr. Chen.
The story of the Chen family's ancestors happened so long ago that only some old people knew about it. It was normal that Zhang Lancao didn't have any connections in this area and didn't know about it.
"Mr. Chen returned the factory and land to them?"
"As far as I know, he went back early this morning," Assistant Fan said. "It's quite unusual. I don't know what tactics this newly promoted Mr. Zhang is using. This is the first time I've seen Mr. Chen be so obedient."
No matter how you look at it, the Chen family wants to grab a piece of the pie from Zhang Lancao, but they are so easy to talk to.
Shen Yu lowered his head and fiddled with the pen. Who would have thought that it was a little girl who took care of it.
This was the first time in his life that he saw the arrogant Mr. Chen so angry that veins popped out of his forehead, but he had no way to deal with her.
"Go make an appointment with the outsider's boss. I can invest in their southwest market."
"I'll do it."
Two days later, Assistant Fan brought Shen Yu an unexpected news, but Zhang Lancao refused.
Shen Yu was surprised. "What did the other party say?"
Assistant Fan replied: "The other employee simply replied that Mr. Zhang no longer plans to introduce second-party funding."
Shen Yu guessed that Zhang Lancao was bitten by a snake once and didn't want to be trapped again.
"Let's make another appointment. First, put forward the conditions. We don't want management rights, we just want dividends."
Assistant Fan brought back the news of rejection. Zhang Lancao had already left for your province and did not need any capital injection for the time being.
Shen Yu planned the overlapping networks between him and Zhang Lancao on paper. It seemed that he needed to hire an intermediary, and this person had to be someone Zhang Lancao trusted.
It takes some effort and time. After all, their industry spans a wide range and he has to make two or three turns.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Shen Yu met Tang Yuanyuan himself. It was the 50th birthday of the old man of the Chen family.
"Mr. Shen, long time no see."
"Mr. Chen, long time no see."
The birthday banquet was held at a Chinese-style round table, and everyone gathered together to chat.
Suddenly, Mr. Chen looked as if he had seen a ghost. "Excuse me, I'm going to change my clothes."
"Mr. Chen, why are you running?"
A signature clear and bone-deep voice was heard, Shen Yu tilted his head, and Tang Yuanyuan, wearing a beautiful white spotted dress and high heels, walked slowly towards him like a pretty little princess.
"Mr. Chen, I'm here on behalf of my mother to congratulate Mr. Chen on his birthday. Do you welcome me?"
Mr. Chen stared at Tang Yuanyuan with a fake smile: "Why don't I remember inviting you?"
"We're partners now, so don't be stingy." Tang Yuanyuan turned and saw the man dressed in red. "This must be Mr. Chen, right? Hello. My mother is the founder of the Foreigner Chili Sauce. I'm here to wish you a happy birthday on her behalf. This is the birthday gift she prepared personally."
"Ah, why are you here alone? Where's your wife, Mrs. Chen? Who should I give this gift to?"
Mr. Chen's eyelids were twitching, but he could only bite the bullet and step forward to take the gift from Tang Yuanyuan's hand. He smiled and said, "You and your mother are so thoughtful."
Tang Yuanyuan: "My mom and I are both trustworthy people. Since you've given us such a large amount of financial support, we should definitely do our best."
Mr. Chen smiled brightly, leaned in closer, and ventriloquized, "That's enough. I've already given you 30 million. Not only do you not return the negatives, but you even came to my dad's birthday party. What are you up to?"
Tang Yuanyuan is not stupid. Holding the film is like holding Mr. Chen's lifeblood.
Perfect for being an investor.
Where could she find such an obedient investor who only wanted to receive dividends but not have the right to operate the business? So that same day she asked a lawyer to draft a new investment contract and stamp it with the official seal.
Mr. Chen waited in the office for a whole morning, but what he received was not the negative, but a new contract in the file bag.
Tang Yuanyuan was beaming, and those who didn't know her might have thought they were on good terms, enjoying a pleasant conversation. "Mr. Chen, you're not right. First of all, the 30 million was the first round of capital injection that you and my mother agreed upon. I didn't take advantage of you, and the dividends are still the same as before. Foreigners are expanding rapidly right now, and even 30 million in the bank wouldn't yield such a high interest rate."
"I'm helping you make money."
"Don't worry, we're all on the same page now. As long as you don't make any moves and don't use your connections in your province to get in the way, we can always make a fortune together. I hope you can hold on to your position as heir for a long time, and I won't hold you back."
"By the way, why did I only see your dad and not your mom?"
Mr. Chen gritted his teeth in anger: "Your factory has already started construction smoothly, and I have paid you. What else do you want?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Mr. Chen, we are partners now. Your grandfather is having a birthday, and I am here to congratulate him. This is courtesy. My mother taught me since I was a child that people should be polite."
"Which table should I sit at?"
Mr. Chen had a headache: "You can sit wherever you want." I don't welcome you.
"I want to sit at the main table," Tang Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Thank you very much. Please introduce me to the important guests at the main table. We are all in the same circle after all."
Mr. Chen: “…” I’ve never seen anyone so shameless!
Shen Yu saw Tang Yuanyuan's legs swaying proudly under the table. "Mr. Chen, I'm underage and can't drink. Could you please arrange some milk for me?"
Mr. Chen called the waiter and said, "Give her two bottles of milk."
Shen Yu put his fist on his lips to hide the corners of his lips that were curled up. He treated the arrogant Mr. Chen as a waiter. It was estimated that none of Mr. Chen's concubines had such treatment.
Mr. Chen just married a 20-year-old young wife last year. This is his fifth marriage. However, his young wife has never appeared in such occasions for more than a year. Tang Yuanyuan just mentioned this person, and when he thought about Mr. Chen's embarrassment yesterday, he guessed that the things in the camera might be more than just nude photos.
This is Mr. Chen's lifeline.
It seems that outsiders will have a steady supply of funds and there is really no need to look for investors anymore.
He adjusted his tie, sat down next to Tang Yuanyuan, and handed her a business card.
"Hello, Shen Yu."
Tang Yuanyuan didn't have a business card, so she gave him her mother's. "This is my mom's company, Foreigner Chili Sauce. It's delicious."
Shen Yu then introduced her to the distinguished guests at the main table. Tang Yuanyuan gained a lot and got to know all the big names in Shanghai's business community.
After the banquet, Tang Yuanyuan got into her own BMW and went back home.
Shen Yu took off his glasses, looked at Zhang Lancao's business card, and gave a helpless smile.
I started my second year of high school after the summer vacation.
He can't even get involved in other people's business.
Shen Yi pinched her waist, very angry: "Shen Yu, you are too much! You can take pictures of our dog, why can't you take pictures of me? In your heart, am I not as important as a dog?"
In the photo, the fur ball has a pair of innocent big eyes open and its furry head is tilted, looking so cute.
There are more than a dozen dog photos, and each one is very beautiful.
Shen Yi had never seen anyone with better photography skills than Shen Yu, but he only took pictures of scenery and objects, never of people.
Even her own sister can't do it.
Now he has graduated and is starting his own business. She hasn't seen him touch a camera in over a year, so she finally calmed down. Now he has taken dozens of photos of his dog, and she is jealous of how good they look.
So infuriating.
Shen Yu adjusted the camera and said, "You are not a frequent visitor to the photo studio. As a wealthy man like you, there are plenty of photographers who can take pictures for you."
Shen Yi: “But their films are all very cheesy.”
Shen Yu pointed his camera at the transparent air, snapped a picture, and said, "There's a photo studio on Huaihai Road that takes really good photos now."
Shen Yi: “I’ve been to all the photo studios on Huaihai Road, but I don’t know which one takes the best photos.”
"It should have opened in the past year or two. What was it called? Let me think, I think it's called something." Shen Yu seemed to have forgotten, and rubbed his bony fingers on his thigh several times before remembering: "Yuanyuan Photo Studio."
"By the way, you need to find their boss to shoot with. That old master is not good enough. That boss is great, but he seems to be a high school student. He charges an appearance fee, and the waiting list is very long."
Shen Yi expressed doubt: "A high school student? Are you kidding me?"
Shen Yu: "Believe it or not."
After saying this, Shen Yu stood up, took the camera and turned to go into the house. Shen Yi was puzzled. Is there any person photographed by the photo studio that Shen Yu would like?
That level is quite high, she must go and see it.
"Sorry, our boss is in your province and isn't here right now. If you'd like, you can register and leave your phone number. Many people want to take photos with our boss, but she's still a student and needs to focus on her studies. The order won't be accepted for at least three months."
"I can pay more, but you can cut in line for me."
Chen Yi immediately spent a lot of money and left her phone number. She had to take a picture of a photographer of this level!
Tang Yuanyuan took a lot of landscape photos in Gui Province and gained a new understanding of photography. The previous 20 yuan was not enough, so he planned to increase it to 500 yuan and only take photos of one customer a month. He happened to meet a rich man like Chen Yi, so he asked the clerk to invite Chen Yi over.
After seeing the finished photos, Shen Yi was very satisfied and wanted to let the whole world see her beautiful photos.
Mrs. Shen praised: "Compared to colorful and heavy makeup, these photos are really spiritual. Each one has a story."
These days, calendars are all bright red and green.
Tang Yuanyuan felt that the beauty of nature was the most inspiring, so she took outdoor photos of Chen Yi. She was wearing fiery red maple leaves, a simple white shirt, jeans and sneakers. She closed her eyes, a beam of light fell on her face, and there was a fallen leaf in her hair, as if she had merged into the color of nature.
Pick any one of them and they will all be beautiful.
Shen Yu curled his lips and heard his mother say, "This girl is really good. Please make an appointment for me so that I can go and take a photo."
Chen Yi said, "She's not easy to make an appointment with. I paid extra to jump the queue. She's still a student, just in her second year of high school. She's not here to make money, she's just interested. Her family shouldn't be short of money. Now she only takes one group of customers a month, so you have to wait a long time."
Mrs. Shen: "Is your student already so good? Isn't your birthday coming up? Invite her to your house to play."
Shen Yi: “I thought so too.”
Shen Yi's birthday is still in November, and it's only September now. Shen Yu looked at the strings of numbers on the calendar, and there are still two months left.
Two months is not too long, but not short either. It passed in the busyness.
Shen Yi had a good temper and invited many girls to her house to play, some of whom came for Shen Yu, including Lin Feier.
Lin Feier shook Shen Yi's arm: "It's your birthday today, why don't you see Mr. Shen? Doesn't he celebrate your birthday?"
Everyone in the circle knew that Lin Feier liked Shen Yu terribly.
Chen Yi: "Hey, are you here to ask about my birthday, or do you want to date my brother?"
Lin Feier: "Of course I'm here to celebrate your birthday, but I also want to meet Mr. Shen. Give him a call and ask him to come back."
Shen Yi thought about it and realized that if Shen Yu forgot about this, wouldn't she have to receive one less gift this year?
He picked up the phone and called Shen Yu, teasing Lin Feier with his eyes: "Little brother, do you still remember what day it is today... How dare you forget? I'm so angry..."
An hour later, Shen Yu came back with the trunk filled with dozens of gifts.
"Second sister, it's my fault. This is a gift I hastily prepared. All your friends get a share."
Shen Yi was reluctantly satisfied.
Lin Feier blushed, "Mr. Shen, what's in these?"
Shen Yu looked around the living room, but didn't see the person he wanted to see. He said calmly, "These are the accessories from my shop. They are all from my shop. Go and pick them out."
As soon as these words fell, the girls rushed to choose. The accessories in Shen Yu's store were very expensive, so of course they had to pick the ones that satisfied them.
Shen Yu grabbed Shen Yi's arm and asked, "Do you have any friends who aren't here? Where is she? Is she upstairs or in the garden?"
Shen Yi: "No, it's all here."
Shen Yu reminded her: "The one who can take pictures."
"You mean Miss Tang? She went to participate in an English competition today and didn't come."
