352: Meeting with President Huashi

Su Yue originally thought finding General Manager Guo would resolve the matter, but who knew General Manager Guo's authority had already been revoked.

Since General Manager Guo no longer had authority, he could only seek help from someone who did.

Su Yue pondered for a moment, then looked towards General Manager Guo: "I wonder if the General Manager of Huashi Hotel is in? Can I see him?"

For companies like theirs, most require a separate appointment letter.

Without an appointment, he had no way of seeing the company's senior management.

General Manager Guo heard that Su Yue planned to meet Liu Hua and nodded slightly: "We just finished a senior management meeting. If you want to see him, I can introduce you. Come with me."

Nobody knew if Liu Hua would leave, so the best approach was to go directly now.

General Manager Guo waved at the waiter: "Could you please pack our two coffees to go? I'll have someone come pick them up later."

Because they often drank coffee at the cafe, General Manager Guo felt the waiter would definitely agree.

Indeed, upon hearing General Manager Guo ask them to pack the coffee, the waiter readily agreed and walked out alone.

General Manager Guo followed behind Su Yue, and the two slowly walked towards the interior of Huashi Hotel.

At this time, there were quite a few people inside Huashi Hotel.

General Manager Guo went to the front desk, said something while pointing at Su Yue, obtained a separate appointment letter, and the two walked inside.

Strictly speaking, General Manager Guo was only the company's Vice President; bringing an outsider to see Liu Hua required going through his Secretary.

Now that Su Yue had the appointment letter, he could go upstairs immediately.

General Manager Guo glanced at Su Yue, his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't speak about the matter.

Su Yue seemed to understand what General Manager Guo wanted to say and smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, you must want me to help you get your position back."

Regardless, losing his position made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Furthermore, he felt everything he did was correct; there was just a slight change in the plan, and the company shouldn't place all the blame on him alone.

Hearing Su Yue reveal what he was thinking, General Manager Guo couldn't help but say to Su Yue: "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Su Yue chuckled, and the two waited quietly in the elevator for their floor.

Before long, the elevator reached the top floor. Just as the two were about to exit, Liu Hua walked in from outside with his Secretary.

General Manager Guo quickly said to Liu Hua: "General Manager Liu, we were just about to come find you. This is General Manager Su from Yuantu Investment Company."

When Liu Hua heard that Su Yue had come to see him, his face showed displeasure: "That Su Yue who wanted to put our company out of business? Why is he looking for us? Isn't he afraid we'll cause him trouble?"

Su Yue looked at Liu Hua's displeased expression and took a deep breath: "General Manager Liu, I have a business matter I need to discuss with you. I wonder if you're interested?"

Liu Hua sized up Su Yue, found nothing unusual about him, nodded slightly, and stepped aside: "Then come with me to the office. I happen to have time today; otherwise, I usually don't receive visitors."

From Liu Hua's perspective, he naturally didn't want to have any dealings with the company's enemy.

Otherwise, other shareholders might think the whole matter was orchestrated by Su Yue and Liu Hua together, and then he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

In just a few minutes, Liu Hua arrived in his office and waved to his Secretary: "Stay by the door. I'm not seeing anyone now."

In his view, Su Yue coming to see him here very likely meant he wanted to offer him a great opportunity.

As soon as the Secretary left the office, Su Yue couldn't help but chuckle at Liu Hua: "To be frank, I need you to provide me with a sum of money."

Before Su Yue could finish, Liu Hua immediately stood up: "Nonsense! We just lost such a big deal because of you. How could we possibly give you money? You're dreaming!"

At this point, Liu Hua wanted to leave.

Fortunately, General Manager Guo stopped Liu Hua, smiling awkwardly: "Just listen to what he has to say. He says he can help us overcome this difficulty."

When Liu Hua heard that Su Yue could help him recover the fifteen billion loss, he finally sat down and took a deep breath: "Tell me what you're willing to do to help us, otherwise, there's nothing to discuss."

Huashi Hotel had been operating for so long that they had some savings; asking them to take out a bit of money in one go shouldn't be a problem.

However, Liu Hua needed to convince his shareholders to willingly provide the money, otherwise, anything Su Yue said would be futile.

Seeing that Liu Hua hadn't completely shut down the conversation, Su Yue pointed towards the computer: "You can look at the data on the computer now and see the share structure of Muxin Hotel."

Since the two hotels had been rivals for more than just a day or two, Liu Hua didn't take this matter to heart at all and skillfully brought up the structure.

Liu Hua originally thought the shares still belonged to the same people, but no one expected Su Yue to have become the second largest shareholder of Muxin Hotel.

In other words, Su Yue only needed them to help poach one person's shares, and Muxin Hotel could exempt them from the fifteen billion loss.

Don't look at Muxin Hotel donating fifteen billion; in reality, this money never landed in the accounts of the two companies.

As long as the two companies developed steadily, they would likely remain the leading enterprises in their respective fields.

Liu Hua looked at the data on the computer and pondered for a moment: "I have a question I want to ask you. Why are you helping me?"

He had no idea why Su Yue would help him, as Su Yue and Muxin Hotel had always been in cahoots.

It must be said that Liu Hua was more shrewd than Mu Ruguang; most of his calculations were behind the scenes, in places no one saw.

In contrast, Mu Ruguang's tactics were overt, allowing people to see exactly what he wanted to do at a glance.

Su Yue listened to Liu Hua's question and chuckled: "I took thirty percent of the shares from Mu Ruguang. I believe the loss suffered by Yuantu Investment Company was likely caused by them."

They had just gotten out of such a situation and were eager for Su Yue to find them and return the money in full.

It was precisely because of this that Su Yue had dismissed this idea early on.

Liu Hua looked at Su Yue's sincere expression and pondered: "Tell me, what do you need us to do for you? Without seeing results, Huashi Hotel isn't foolish; we won't give you that money."

The money for both hotels was limited; no one was willing to take out their own money for an outsider.

Hearing Liu Hua say this, Su Yue subconsciously glanced towards General Manager Guo: "I heard that General Manager Guo was dismissed because of this matter. I wonder if you could reinstate General Manager Guo? I need his help."

To prevent Liu Hua from saying General Manager Guo had ulterior motives, Su Yue spoke again: "Because General Manager Guo is quite familiar with them, having him by my side will allow me to execute my plan flawlessly."

Liu Hua listened to Su Yue state his reason and couldn't help but say to Su Yue: "Your reason is sufficient, but our senior management meeting just ended, and his dismissal this time was something everyone was likely happy to see."

Although Liu Hua was the actual controller of the company, he felt he couldn't openly defy everyone.

Su Yue understood what Liu Hua meant and chuckled: "General Manager Liu, without General Manager Guo's help, my results would be minimal. You need to consider the company's long-term interests."

General Manager Guo stood beside Su Yue, watching him look so serious, and felt a strange sense of emotion.

Although Su Yue was the one who caused him to lose his position, Su Yue's calm demeanor still made him admire him from the bottom of his heart.

In just a few minutes, Liu Hua threw a contract in front of General Manager Guo: "Then I'll temporarily give you a position. I hope you work hard. As long as you can recover our losses, I'll give you what you want."

General Manager Guo saw the contract land in front of him again and immediately signed it, his face filled with ecstasy.

Before long, Liu Hua sent the contract to the Human Resources Department and left with his Secretary.

General Manager Guo and Su Yue returned to the cafe, their faces showing surprise: "General Manager Su, what do you need me to help you with?"

Su Yue looked at General Manager Guo's curious expression and chuckled: "Let's teach Muxin Hotel a lesson and let them know that our Yuantu Investment Company isn't only capable of owning just their hotel."

Upon hearing Su Yue say this, General Manager Guo instinctively reacted: "You want me to help you poach two shareholders? So your shares are more than Mu Ruguang's?"

Su Yue saw that General Manager Guo understood the meaning and laughed heartily: "You still understand me! As long as their shares are transferred to me, the control of Muxin Hotel will be in my hands. You understand what I mean, right?"

By then, Su Yue would be the actual controller of Muxin Hotel, and it would be too easy for Huashi Hotel to rise.

Moreover, Su Yue taking over Muxin Hotel was only part of his plan; he never initially intended to rely on them to make money.

Hearing Su Yue say this, General Manager Guo looked at the time on his watch: "I need five days. I'll give you their share transfer agreements."

Su Yue saw that General Manager Guo needed a full five days, shook his head, and held up one finger: "By this time tomorrow, if the contracts aren't in place, I believe both of us will be in trouble."

Nowadays, there are more and more reporters at the entrance of Yuantu Investment Company.

If they delay in responding, the people inside the company will likely be very afraid of those reporters.

Hearing there were only five days, General Manager Guo felt a faint unease in his heart.

However, he knew this was the best opportunity to regain his original position, and he couldn't let such an opportunity slip through his fingers.

As General Manager Guo left, Su Yue dialed Lan Zijun's number.

At this time, Lan Zijun was hiding out of town, not daring to return, and was equally worried about the company's direction.

When Lan Zijun saw Su Yue's call, she immediately answered the phone: "General Manager Su, did you get the money over there?"

Hearing Lan Zijun ask him, Su Yue's face showed helplessness: "Not yet, but I'm already operating according to my plan. Try your best not to be discovered by the reporters over there."

Not only were there reporters downstairs at the company, but there were also many reporters around the companies they collaborated with.

As soon as a reporter discovers their whereabouts, the main group will likely come over immediately.

By then, the things Su Yue could do would only become fewer and fewer.

Lan Zijun understood what Su Yue meant and took a deep breath: "I won't leave the hotel recently. I hope you can turn the tide."

Without Su Yue actively working outside, Yuantu Investment Company would likely completely collapse this time.

Meanwhile, Su Yue saw a major news report online.

Su Yue clicked on the headline and found that Mu Ruguang had held a crucial press conference, stating that Yuantu Investment Company was also using the donation funds for their own purposes.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people began questioning the purpose of Yuantu Investment Company, demanding that they take out all the charitable funds.

Su Yue looked at the content of the press conference and called Lan Zijun again: "Find a way to get the public relations department to respond to that news, otherwise, our trending search will stay high for a long time."

For a company, its information constantly being highlighted like this is a very sad thing.

Lan Zijun understood what Su Yue meant and immediately contacted the public relations department, ordering them to handle this matter within two or three days.

Although the public relations department could respond quickly, the fact that they had no money in their account was undeniable.

If they didn't quickly replenish the funds, three days later would be the time for financial disclosure.

By then, they would have no way to explain, making this the most troublesome matter.

Meanwhile, Liu Hua also saw the news on television, a smile on his face: "It's a dog-eat-dog world. No wonder Su Yue came to us for help. It turns out he knew the mastermind behind the whole thing was likely Mu Ruguang."

Only then did Liu Hua feel relieved and said nothing.

Afterwards, Liu Hua called Su Yue, as if wanting to improve his standing.

Regardless, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse. If Yuantu Investment Company was willing to deposit that investment into their account, they would likely recover quickly.

By then, Muxin Hotel might exit the historical stage.

But he didn't know that Su Yue's ambition wasn't limited to just Muxin Hotel; he needed to merge the two hotels and have them both controlled by Yuantu Investment Company.

By then, Yuantu Investment Company would essentially have one hundred percent control in the hotel industry.

Of course, such a matter definitely wouldn't be stated explicitly. He also needed to worry about Liu Hua tripping him up, which would be counterproductive.
