I just wanted a sweet romance, I never imagined becoming a super-rich person!

Chapter 98 Collecting Incriminating Material

Tianhai City.

Inside a large villa, Wang Dongnian picked up a teapot and poured a cup of tea that he had personally brewed for his friend.

"Old Jia, thank you for giving me this face."

Wang Dongnian was facing his friend, Jia Zhong, the former owner of Qianhai Hotel.

Due to asset issues, Jia Zhong chose to sell Chengjiang's hotel. Although he had run that hotel for many years, it was not as valuable as his other businesses, so he had to give it up.

"Old Wang, why are you arguing with a 25-year-old?"

Jia Zhong picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

"Well, I didn't want to at first either. In fact, when I first met that young man, I even tried to win him over."

"After all, we're business people, so it's best to avoid disputes if we can maintain harmony."

"But who knew that young man would be so... strange."

"Despite having no business or political background, they were able to acquire a company of Upstream Media's caliber in a very short time."

"As you know, I just helped my brother-in-law ruin this company, and before we knew it, we had a grudge against each other."

"What surprised me even more was that this young man was actually able to acquire your hotel."

"I'm just wondering, where did this young man with no connections get so much money?"

"Upstream Media was shut down, but he himself got away scot-free, which means the money he made was clean. Otherwise, the authorities wouldn't have let him roam around outside every day."

Jia Zhong was also very surprised to hear this.

"Are there really such amazing people?"

"I thought it was some rich young master starting a business! I was worried that if I helped you, his family would hold a grudge."

"So you mean this is a first-generation entrepreneur? Only twenty-five years old... My dad started his business when everything was booming, and at twenty-five he was just a small-time vendor."

"That's outrageous."

Wang Dongnian sighed: "I didn't understand before, which is why Jiachao suffered a loss at his hands."

"That kid's been so discouraged he's lost all fighting spirit. If I, as his uncle, don't stand up for him, how am I supposed to explain this to my brother?"

Jia Zhong nodded: "Yes, I understand."

"To help you, I'll have to pay a large sum of compensation for my veterans, since they violated the contract."

"Don't worry, you definitely won't have to pay for this. And as I said, I'll arrange their accommodations; their treatment will definitely not be worse than before."

Jia Zhong then smiled.

"At least you still have some conscience, you old codger."

"Haha, come, come, have some tea."

"Old Wang, I think you shouldn't be too happy yet. This move of yours might be a bad one."

Wang Dongnian was taken aback.

"How so?"

"Old Wang, think about it carefully. Most of the key personnel in the hotel were trained by me. If they are kept in the hotel, it will take a lot of effort for Lu Ran to remove them one by one."

"If you want to cause him any trouble, I can do it with just a word."

"But you were so eager to explain to your brother that you let me cut off all the people from your supply lines."

"Although Lu Ran will be in a lot of pain in the short term, this is equivalent to pulling his wisdom tooth. Once he recovers, the hotel will be completely under his control."

Wang Dongnian remained silent for a moment.

"I had thought about this before, but I simply didn't believe that a 25-year-old could recover after two companies suffered losses."

"Buying your hotel was no small sum. Now I'm certain that Lu Ran doesn't have the money to hire a large number of people again."

"The hotel cannot maintain normal operations and will have to close down soon."

Seeing his old friend so full of confidence, Jia Zhong really couldn't bear to discourage him, but he had to say something.

So he took out his phone, opened a job posting app, scrolled through the page, and handed it over.

"Old Wang, you should take a look first!"

Wang Dongnian took the phone and glanced at it; his eyelids twitched several times.

Qianhai Hotel is offering high salaries to recruit management staff.

Qianhai Hotel is offering high salaries to hire waiters/waitresses.

『···』

Although the salary is the same as before, it will definitely cost a lot of money to recruit so many people.

However, after watching for a while, Wang Dongnian calmed down.

"He has the ability; even if the company is in trouble and he can't get a loan now, he should be able to borrow some money from friends and barely manage to reopen the hotel."

"However, hiring is only the first step. It's not just about paying one month's salary. The monthly expenses for employees, new employee training, and hotel maintenance all add up to a lot of money. He has just taken over the hotel, and it will take at least a few months to reach break-even."

"It's just a death throes."

Jia Zhong also felt that Wang Dongnian's words made sense.

"Hmm, I hope that's true."

"It's quite a pity to see such a talented young man fall."

"There's nothing to regret; this path is never short of geniuses."

"That's true."

Just as the two old men were drinking tea and discussing life, Liu Nini arrived at Tianhai Airport with two assistants.

According to the information provided by Lu Ran.

After leaving the airport, Liu Nini made a phone call.

Soon a scantily clad woman appeared outside the airport in a BMW.

Hello, everyone.

Liu Nini nodded: "Hello."

After the group got into the car, Xiao Mo laughed and said, "Young man, you're so lucky to have so many beautiful women around you. It's not that you don't like women, it's that I'm not charming enough."

Liu Nini thought for a moment and said, "You may have misunderstood. We are just employees under President Lu."

"President Lu has a girlfriend, and he is extremely devoted and affectionate towards her."

Xiao Mo was taken aback.

This sounds a bit unbelievable. A handsome and wealthy man with only one woman by his side?

But Xiao Mo actually believed it.

From the first moment she saw Lu Ran, that was the kind of person she perceived him to be.

And this made Xiao Mo even happier, because it wasn't that she lacked charm, but rather that Lu Ran was too special.

Xiao Mo stopped wasting time and got down to business.

"There was a restaurant owner whose son was named Yang Xu. Three years ago, he bought a Ferrari from Uncle Dong, but when he got home, he found out that it was a car that had been flooded and damaged."

"After that, Yang Xu tried to protect his rights through various means, but every time he went to Uncle Dong's store to make a scene, he was given various excuses to avoid it."

"Not only did my rights protection efforts fail, but I was also countersued by Uncle Dong for defamation and insulting his reputation. I not only failed to protect my rights, but I also had to pay a sum of money."

"I'll take you to take care of other things first, and then I'll take you to Yang Xu's restaurant in a couple of days. As for whether we can persuade them to come out, that's up to you. I definitely can't get involved. I've already discussed all of this with Lu Ran beforehand."

Liu Nini nodded: "No problem."

Having suffered such a great injustice, if it were her, she would remember it for a lifetime, let alone three years, and would definitely reveal the truth if she had the chance.

···

In a restaurant called Xusheng Hotel in Tianhai.

A disheveled man with hair as messy as a bird's nest tapped on the table.

"Dad, give me some money."

Yang Weihu was both angry and heartbroken to see his son's disheveled appearance.

His son is only 23 years old. He used to be so full of vigor, but now he has become a good-for-nothing that everyone despises.

All of this can be attributed to the rights protection incident three years ago.

If given the opportunity and the ability, Yang Weihu would definitely seek justice for his son.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to do so, and could only keep his guilt to himself.
