370: Second Negotiation Meeting
In just half an hour, the reporter was ready and signaled that they could begin the press conference.
Lan Zijun introduced herself on the stage, pointing in Su Yue's direction and saying, “Now, let’s invite General Manager Su to brief you on the situation.”
Su Yue looked at Lan Zijun, who wanted him to go on stage and give the speech, and nodded with a helpless expression, “You should know the relationship between Huashi Hotel and Muxin Hotel, right?”
Ever since Huasheng Hotel exposed the affairs of the two hotels, everyone outside now knows that Su Yue is the boss behind both companies.
Now, he brought up this matter on his own initiative, simply because he didn't want the reporters to gossip.
As Su Yue watched the reporters point their cameras at him, he then pointed in Liu Long's direction and said, “This is the person who participated in the disturbance. I am now asking him to explain the entire process. I hope you will not distort the facts, otherwise we will pursue legal responsibility.”
Hearing Su Yue's serious response, the reporters were filled with disbelief, having no idea that Su Yue took this matter so seriously.
It didn't take long for Liu Long to come to the front of the conference room and recount, in detail, how Liu Sheng had bribed them.
Although Liu Long knew that speaking out might ruin his reputation, he had no other choice.
Meanwhile, Liu Sheng and Wang Pai looked at the live broadcast on the computer and slammed the computer onto the floor.
They had planned many things, but they never expected Liu Long to return to Yuantu Investment Company.
Wang Pai glanced at Liu Sheng and said, “Look, this is your so-called perfect plan. Now what do you plan to do?”
In his eyes, Liu Long had already produced ironclad evidence, leaving them no possibility of defense.
Just then, the phone in Wang Pai's pocket rang.
He glanced at the number on the phone, his face immediately changed, and he walked to the side with the phone.
At the same time, Liu Long had finished explaining the entire incident, making everything clear to the reporters present.
The entire incident was likely a farce created by Huasheng Group. Now, Yuantu Investment Company has formally issued a lawyer's letter to Huasheng Group, demanding an explanation for this matter.
If Huasheng Group does not explain this matter, they will be implicitly admitting to it, and their stock price will inevitably fall.
And if they do offer an explanation, they will have no way to find a breakthrough, putting them in a dilemma as well.
As the press conference concluded, Liu Long approached Su Yue, his face filled with helplessness, “General Manager Su, I have told everything as you requested. Now, I probably won't be able to find a job.”
If it were in the past, Su Yue might have used him.
But he had already betrayed him once, and the saying goes, 'once unfaithful, never used again.' Su Yue could never forgive him a second time.
Su Yue scrutinized Liu Long with a serious expression, “I can only guarantee that Yuantu Investment Company will not be prejudiced against you. As long as you have the qualifications, you can return to your original position sooner or later.”
Having said this, he felt his words were too decisive and added, “Of course, if you want to find a job elsewhere, we won't object.”
Just as Liu Long was about to say something else, Su Yue's phone in his pocket rang.
Su Yue took out his phone and found that the caller was actually Wang Pai.
It seemed that Huasheng Group could no longer sit still. They felt that Liu Sheng was completely incapable of handling such a matter, so they could only arrange for Wang Pai to come and negotiate.
It didn't take long for Su Yue to arrive at a coffee shop at their agreed time, and the two sat in a private room.
Wang Pai sized up Su Yue, his face calm, “I think our negotiation has no result simply because we haven't reached the critical point. How much money do you need? I am now willing to pay you full compensation.”
Hearing Wang Pai say this, Su Yue immediately stood up, “If these are still your negotiation terms, then we have nothing to discuss.”
As Wang Pai saw Su Yue about to leave, he immediately stopped him, “General Manager Su, please sit down. What are your conditions? Let's hear them.”
Su Yue had initially thought Wang Pai would let him leave, but he never expected Wang Pai to change his attitude.
Instantly, Su Yue realized that Wang Pai had very likely received instructions from those above him, telling him that he must successfully negotiate this matter.
Currently, Huasheng Group's stock price had already begun to plummet.
If Wang Pai failed to handle this matter properly, he would surely not be able to keep his position.
Given this, Su Yue returned to his seat, a smile on his face, “Then let's talk. My conditions are the same as Liu Sheng's original conditions. I don't need you to give us money.”
Yuantu Investment Company was not short of a few pennies, so Su Yue didn't need their money at all.
When Wang Pai heard that Su Yue still wouldn't change his conditions, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, “I hope you will also consider our position at Huasheng Group. We already know we made a mistake, and we promise not to make such mistakes again in the future.”
In his eyes, as long as he admitted his mistake, Su Yue should not pursue the matter relentlessly.
However, he still underestimated Su Yue's determination.
Su Yue shook his head repeatedly, “I'm sorry, I have no reason to let you go. I only hope you will release a video, otherwise we will still pursue your responsibility.”
He knew that Wang Pai would never agree to his condition, so he immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards the door.
Just then, Wang Pai's voice came out, “Su Yue, don't be ungrateful. Our Huasheng Group has never been afraid of anyone, let alone a small investment company like yours.”
Hearing Wang Pai say this, Su Yue shrugged indifferently, “Say whatever you want, my conditions will never change.”
With that, Su Yue immediately walked outside, no longer intending to stay there.
As soon as Su Yue came out of the coffee shop, he immediately called Lan Zijun, “The company needs to strictly control all investment projects recently. I suspect they will find fault with our other projects.”
Liu Sheng was relatively weak at dealing with people, so he probably wouldn't think of such a method.
But Wang Pai was different; his methods were quite clever, and he would definitely not act rashly.
Upon hearing Su Yue mention other projects, Lan Zijun immediately formed a corresponding team and instructed them to investigate each project.
As long as they found problems with a project, they would surely handle it.
Su Yue was relieved to know that Lan Zijun had already started handling the matter, but he still felt somewhat uneasy.
But he said nothing and went to Huashi Hotel alone.

Compared to the impact on the two hotels, the impact on Huashi Hotel was probably the greatest.
Not only was their lobby smashed, but even the contents inside were taken, meaning it was difficult for them to even open for business.
As Su Yue arrived at General Manager Guo's office, General Manager Guo quickly stood up to greet him, his face flustered, “General Manager Su, why are you here at our place?”
He had thought Su Yue had returned to Yuantu Investment Company and never expected him to come here.
Hearing General Manager Guo say this, Su Yue glanced at him, “I have only one question. How do you plan to handle the matters inside the hotel?”
As General Manager Guo saw Su Yue testing his ability, he quickly called the finance department into the office and asked them to bring out all the lists.
It turned out that General Manager Guo had already arranged for his people to buy things back, as the headquarters of Huashi Hotel could not remain paralyzed indefinitely.
Otherwise, as soon as people outside knew there was a problem with Huashi Hotel, many would likely withdraw from the membership list of Huashi Hotel.
Su Yue was relieved to see that General Manager Guo had already handled this matter through the finance department, “Since you already have a solution, I can rest assured.”
Just as Su Yue was about to leave, his phone in his pocket rang again.
Instantly, Su Yue had a premonition of something bad.
The only people who could call him now were Huasheng Group and Lan Zijun, and their calls to him only brought bad news.
Soon, Su Yue took out his phone, glanced at the number, and walked to the window.
Just as he had initially predicted, Lan Zijun had discovered a problem with a real estate company they had invested in.
Someone had come forward to compete with them for the same piece of land, putting them in a stalemate.
If the money invested by Yuantu Investment Company failed to secure that piece of land, their investment this time would be a complete loss.
Moreover, their reputation would gradually decline, and Su Yue did not want such a thing to happen.
Su Yue pondered for a moment and immediately said to Lan Zijun, “Arrange for that person to wait there now, and I will go and ask about it.”
No matter what, he was the one who caused the trouble, so he had to handle this matter personally.
Hearing Su Yue say this, Lan Zijun readily agreed, “The address has been sent to you. Handle this matter as quickly as possible and don't disappoint us.”
Then, she hung up the phone immediately, regardless of whether Su Yue had anything else to say.
Su Yue saw that Lan Zijun didn't even give him time to speak and took a deep breath, “I have something to leave for now. The matters of Huashi Hotel are in your hands.”
Hearing that Su Yue needed to handle other matters, General Manager Guo readily agreed, “No problem, leave all other matters to me. You just handle the other things.”
In just half an hour, Su Yue drove his car to the entrance of the real estate company.
At this moment, the boss of the real estate company was sitting in his office, looking troubled.
He had initially thought that the project he was bidding on would be foolproof, but he never expected an unexpected competitor to emerge.
Just then, Su Yue followed the Secretary into the office.
Huang Tian, the boss of the real estate company, saw Su Yue arrive and quickly pointed to the sofa, “General Manager Su, you're finally here. What should we do about this matter?”
Hearing Huang Tian's panicked tone, Su Yue couldn't help but say to Huang Tian, “General Manager Huang, something so small just happened, and you're already this flustered.”
Huang Tian looked at Su Yue, who seemed unconcerned about his situation, and was filled with disbelief, completely unaware of why Yuantu Investment Company had sent such a person over.
In his eyes, not only did he have a sum of money on that piece of land, but Yuantu Investment Company also had a sum of money in it.
If he suffered a loss, it meant that Yuantu Investment Company also suffered a loss.
Perhaps because of Su Yue's attitude, Huang Tian walked up to Su Yue, “If you think losing money is okay, then we are willing to lose money with you once.”
Having said this, he turned his head away, as if unwilling to look at Su Yue.
When Su Yue saw Huang Tian's actions, how could he not know what Huang Tian was doing?
Instantly, Su Yue came to Huang Tian, chuckling, “I know what your obstacle is. I will help you deal with this matter, but you still need to handle the land issue yourselves.”
He had never been involved in real estate matters, so naturally, he didn't know exactly what to do.
When Huang Tian learned that Su Yue already had a solution, he agreed with disbelief, “As long as you can remove that obstacle, this piece of land will definitely be ours.”
He had already bribed people inside, meaning they had the right to participate in the internal bidding.
If it weren't for those people interfering, he believed they wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
Seeing that Huang Tian was 100% confident about this matter, Su Yue couldn't help but say to Huang Tian, “Give me the name of the competing real estate company, and I'll go and visit them.”
As the saying goes, 'the one who tied the bell must untie it.' He felt that the key to this matter should lie with that real estate company.
In just a few minutes, Huang Tian handed Su Yue the name of the real estate company and the name of its legal representative, with the aim of having Su Yue investigate as quickly as possible.
Su Yue looked at the information in his hand, readily agreed, and immediately walked outside.
He knew that the real estate company in his hand must have been recently established, otherwise, there was no reason why he hadn't heard of this name.
And such a real estate company having the ability to snatch business from others likely had the support of others behind it.
Su Yue had already seen the problem within it. Now, he just needed to persuade the boss of that company, and he believed the bidding matter would be resolved.
And with their invested project no longer having problems, Huasheng Group's counterattack would naturally be ineffective.
In just half an hour, Su Yue arrived near the real estate company according to the company's address.
He took a photo of the entrance and sent it to Lan Zijun, asking her to investigate the company's background and any negative information.
As long as they had negative information about them, he believed the whole matter would proceed more smoothly.
Lan Zijun understood Su Yue's meaning and immediately arranged for personnel to start investigating the details of this real estate company.
