347: Tit for tat

The next day, 9 AM.

On the top floor of the Muxin Hotel, almost everyone sat by their desks, seemingly eager to see the stock refresh results.

Mu Ruguang sat proudly in the main seat and glanced at Su Yue's position: "You can rest assured when I handle things."

If even with such methods, the Muxin Hotel still couldn't be propped up, then the Muxin Hotel should be called an 'A Dou' who couldn't be helped.

In just five minutes, the stock had already started to surge.

Almost everyone watched the stock value soar, and a smile appeared on each person's face.

The surge in stock was equivalent to the stocks held by everyone increasing in value, thus their net worth also surged.

At the same time, Su Yue turned on his computer and brought up the Huashi Hotel's stock, wanting to see if there were any changes.

Soon, the Huashi Hotel's stock appeared on Su Yue's computer.

Exactly as they predicted, the Huashi Hotel's stock had reached a low point, equivalent to hitting the limit down.

After just one day of hitting the limit down, the Huashi Hotel's capital chain showed signs of breaking.

If the capital chain were to break for a few more days, the Huashi Hotel would likely become insolvent.

Just then, Mu Ruguang, the Boss of the Muxin Hotel, came up to Su Yue and laughed loudly: "General Manager Su, how is it?"

Su Yue nodded with satisfaction: "Good, I am very satisfied with you. Next, you need to maintain your advantages."

In his eyes, only by maintaining their advantages could they completely defeat the Huashi Hotel.

Otherwise, once the Huashi Hotel had funds, they would surely cause trouble for the Muxin Hotel immediately.

Regardless, the two hotels were inherently rivals.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Su Yue saw that the stock had basically stopped changing, only then did he relax. He glanced at a few of them: "Then I won't disturb you."

In his opinion, the operation of the Muxin Hotel still required their own cooperation; Su Yue couldn't help much.

However, Su Yue didn't know that Mu Ruguang had secretly included all the auction proceeds into the Muxin Hotel's public funds.

Some of the auction proceeds had even been turned into bonuses and distributed to his shareholders.

At this time, Su Yue had returned to his room and called Lan Zijun.

When Lan Zijun learned that the Muxin Hotel had already trampled the Huashi Hotel underfoot, she smiled broadly: "Haha, that's how it should be."

The Muxin Hotel's stock had increased, and their investment had also yielded returns.

If the Muxin Hotel were to become a leading enterprise in the future, their investment company could also become a top investment company.

Originally, Su Yue thought he would only stay here for two days and then return, but unexpectedly, General Manager Guo contacted him directly.

General Manager Guo understood that the person targeting him was not Mu Ruguang, and only by convincing Su Yue could the Huashi Hotel possibly be revived.

The most crucial point was that the entire matter was something he had done alone.

If he didn't handle this matter well, a large portion of the Huashi Hotel's debt would likely fall on him.

Su Yue initially didn't plan to pay attention to General Manager Guo, but General Manager Guo found Liang Hai as an intermediary.

Having no choice, Su Yue arrived punctually for the appointment at a nice Western restaurant.

When Liang Hai saw Su Yue arrive on time, he quickly pointed to his seat: "General Manager Su, it's not easy to see you these days."

Before Su Yue could respond, Liang Hai spoke again: "I wonder how Elder Tao is doing recently? He shouldn't have mentioned my matter, right?"

For some reason, he still felt uneasy, as if Tao Qingbai could come to settle accounts with him at any time.

Su Yue heard Liang Hai's hint and laughed loudly: "As long as you don't cause him trouble, I believe he won't even remember this matter."

Liang Hai saw Su Yue's nonchalant expression and naturally relaxed, saying nothing more.

Meanwhile, General Manager Guo saw that the two had no more topics and said awkwardly: "I don't know your taste, so I boldly chose this Western restaurant. I hope you won't blame me."

Su Yue heard General Manager Guo's slightly apologetic voice and waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, I eat everything normally, I don't have any dietary restrictions."

Speaking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but speak again: "What do you need me for? You should know that I am not here representing myself this time."

With just a short sentence, he rejected what General Manager Guo wanted to say.

Everyone knew that Yuantu Investment Company and the Muxin Hotel had a link in terms of interests.

If General Manager Guo asked Su Yue to show leniency, wouldn't that be clearly asking Su Yue to betray Yuantu Investment Company?

Liang Hai looked at General Manager Guo's somewhat awkward expression, smiled lightly, and patted his shoulder: "Whatever you want to say, say it now. The fact that we can sit down means this matter can still be negotiated."

General Manager Guo already knew the answer in his heart, but he still spoke: "I... can you give us a way out? Our company's capital chain no longer allows us to start spreading rumors."

It wasn't that his ability was insufficient, but because he no longer had sufficient capital chain in hand.

Although Tao Qingbai's ceramics were precious items, their maximum value was only ten to twenty million, it was impossible for them to reach an absurd figure like 1.5 billion.

As Su Yue watched General Manager Guo speak shamelessly, his mind began to quickly think of a solution.

He knew that Mu Ruguang was also not someone easy to deal with. If he allowed the Muxin Hotel to continue growing, it could also become a hidden danger.

Su Yue subconsciously glanced at General Manager Guo's hands and saw that both his hands were on the table, indicating that he wasn't making any small movements.

Perhaps because they saw what Su Yue meant, Liang Hai quickly explained: "This time we are only here as individuals to ask for your help. We hope you can save him."

Su Yue pondered for a few seconds and smiled lightly: "It's not impossible. You just lack liquid funds, but you should have quite a bit of real estate."

As long as they were willing to part with some real estate, they would still have the ability to protect themselves by severing a limb.

As for how General Manager Guo should persuade the Boss, that was a problem he should consider.

Suddenly, Liang Hai seemed to think of something and looked towards Su Yue: "You've given us advice, and I won't let you suffer a loss either. Look at this."

He placed a bank statement on the table, as if wanting Su Yue to look at the details inside.

Su Yue squinted at the contents of the statement and then looked at the flow of funds afterwards: "If I'm not mistaken, these should be the executives and shareholders of the Muxin Hotel, right?"

Liang Hai nodded slightly: "That's right. You should think about where they got the money and why they didn't explain it to you."

When Su Yue heard Liang Hai ask this, he immediately understood and pointed at the amount on the statement: "You mean... the money is from the auction?"

Liang Hai didn't continue speaking, as if wanting Su Yue to investigate the matter himself.

Strictly speaking, Yuantu Investment Company and the Muxin Hotel had jointly issued a statement, which meant the money should be with the charity association.

Now that the money had ended up in the Muxin Hotel's account, it fully demonstrated Mu Ruguang's cunning.

Su Yue picked up the statement and glanced at the two of them: "I will investigate this matter. You should make your move as soon as possible."

If something like this really happened at the Muxin Hotel, it meant they had a handle that the Huashi Hotel could use.

Once they revealed this information, the stock of both parties could plummet.

At the same time, some obscure hotels would become dark horses and take down these two old-established hotels.

As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured. No one wanted their industry to become subordinate to others.

In just half an hour, Su Yue arrived at Mu Ruguang's office, looking furious.

The Secretary saw Su Yue arrive alone and quickly came to his side, smiling: "President Mu is holding a shareholder meeting. Please wait here for a moment."

How could Su Yue wait here quietly? He pointed at the Secretary: "You have ten minutes to bring President Mu over, otherwise don't blame me for not warning you how you'll go bankrupt."

Since the Secretary couldn't figure out Su Yue's power, she immediately walked out, seemingly wanting to inform Mu Ruguang about the situation.

In just a few minutes, Mu Ruguang followed the Secretary in, looking displeased.

Just from his expression, it was clear that their public account already had enough funds and they were unwilling to continue associating with Yuantu Investment Company.

It was precisely Mu Ruguang's expression that let Su Yue know their attitude.

Originally, Su Yue intended to completely crush the Huashi Hotel, leaving them no room for a comeback.

But this time, Su Yue didn't think eliminating the Huashi Hotel was a good choice.

Mu Ruguang came up to Su Yue, looking serious: "General Manager Su, what do you need us for?"

Su Yue ignored Mu Ruguang and slapped the statement in front of him: "Look at this, what's going on? I am representing Yuantu Investment Company to talk to you now."

Strictly speaking, Yuantu Investment Company had no idea they had appropriated this sum of money.

If they planned to use this matter to turn around and deal with the Muxin Hotel, their hard-won advantage would be gone.

Mu Ruguang didn't know what Su Yue had given him. He subconsciously picked up the item on the table and frowned slightly: "Where did you get this document?"

At this moment, Mu Ruguang felt immense fear in his heart, completely unaware that his secret had been exposed.

Su Yue ignored him and casually placed the contact information from his phone in front of him: "Your arch-rival called me, and they sent me this document."

With just a short sentence, Mu Ruguang felt a chill down his spine and wished he could put the money into the charity association as soon as possible.

Su Yue saw that Mu Ruguang's expression was off and took a deep breath: "Could it be that the charitable donation is really in your account?"

This money could be traced back to its source; it was useless even if he didn't admit it.

Mu Ruguang nodded awkwardly: "You... I... Sigh, tell me what should be done about this matter."

He had lost his composure, as if hoping to see if Su Yue could help.

Before Su Yue could speak, Mu Ruguang's voice came out again: "We are now grasshoppers on the same rope; you can't escape either."

Originally, Su Yue thought he could offer them advice, but unexpectedly, Mu Ruguang thought he was obligated to come up with ideas for them.

He stood up from the sofa, looking serious: "Regarding the charitable funds being embezzled by you, I will have Yuantu Investment Company send a special person to negotiate with you. I hope you still have this attitude then."

Only now did Mu Ruguang realize how much trouble he had caused. He quickly blocked Su Yue: "I know this matter is my fault, but shouldn't our two companies rise and fall together?"

He still wanted to tie Su Yue to his bandwagon so he could hide behind him and rest easy.

But he didn't expect that Su Yue had no intention of staying here. He sneered: "Transfer the charitable funds to the charity association as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to afford our lawyer's letter."

Since Mu Ruguang had already divided the funds into different portions and transferred them to all the shareholders and executives.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to take out this money, but that his public account no longer had this money.

Su Yue didn't care about that much. He glanced at Mu Ruguang: "I'll only give you three days. You should receive a notice from Yuantu Investment Company shortly."

Having said this, Su Yue lost interest in talking to them and left alone.

As soon as he left, Mu Ruguang was like a lost soul, slumping to the ground, looking disheartened: "It's over, the Muxin Hotel is finished."

At this time, the shareholders and executives were still waiting for their bonuses in the conference room, completely unaware that a huge event had happened at the Muxin Hotel.

Not long after, Su Yue returned to Yuantu Investment Company.

As usual, Lan Zijun was sitting in her office looking at documents and saw Su Yue walk in through the door.

In her impression, Su Yue should have been dealing with the matters of the Muxin Hotel and the Huashi Hotel.

She looked Su Yue over and couldn't help but smile lightly: "Why are you back? Are things over there finished?"

In her opinion, Su Yue's return likely meant that the matters he was handling were concluded.

However, this time, he could only shake his head: "I need you to help me send them a notice."

Having said this, he sent the draft he had prepared in advance to Lan Zijun.

Lan Zijun originally didn't know what had happened, but now looking at the draft on her computer, her eyes widened instantly: "Is this matter true?"

If the Muxin Hotel really kept this money, they would only have one thing to do, and that was to distance themselves as quickly as possible to avoid being dragged down by the Muxin Hotel.
