Chapter 555 The Boss Behind It
Hua Yan hung up Chai Lu's call and immediately called Qiu Jiu.
"Hey! Uncle Jiu, it's me, Jiu'er. I heard you've run into some trouble lately?"
Hua Yan got straight to the point.
"Jiu'er, sigh!"
A long sigh came from the other end of the phone.
Ever since Qiu Jiu learned that these two were the sons of high-ranking officials in the capital, he hadn't had a good night's sleep or a proper meal. He was so worried that his hair was turning white. What could he do? These were the children of high-ranking officials; ordinary people like them had no power to resist.
"Uncle Jiu, don't be afraid, trust me to handle this."
"Jiu'er, they are people we can't afford to offend! It's my incompetence that I failed to protect this business for you."
Qiu Jiu's tone was full of helplessness.
"Uncle Jiu, everyone says that the common people can't fight against the officials. This time, I'll make those all-powerful people suffer a crushing defeat."
Hua Yan's tone was full of fighting spirit.
"But... Jiu'er, what do we have to fight them with?"
I had someone investigate for me; their fathers are all high-ranking officials, and we can't afford to offend them at all.
If I offend them, I'm afraid they'll find out about your businesses in Kyoto, and that will implicate us all."
Qiu Jiu is now like a trapped beast, unsure how to escape. He's certainly unwilling to relinquish the empire he's worked so hard to build. But if he doesn't give it up, he faces a torrent of retaliation. He truly has no choice.
"It's okay, I know how to deal with them. Next time they come looking for you, just give me a call."
Hua Yan already harbored resentment towards them.
"Okay! Jiu'er, what are you busy with these days? I haven't seen you for a while."
To live up to Hua Yan's trust, Qiu Jiu worked diligently and hadn't been home for two years, nor had he seen Hua Yan for a long time.
“Uncle Jiu, I was out helping someone with some business the other day, so you didn’t see me. Now that I’m done, I have time to solve your problem. Uncle Jiu, believe me, I will definitely make these demons and monsters reveal their true forms.”
"Okay! I believe Jiu'er."
Before Qiu Jiu could say anything more, he heard someone speaking from the other side.
Hua Yan's hearing is so good now that she can hear every sound you make, even through a telephone line.
Then I heard the person on the other end say in a panic:
"President Qiu, those people are here again. They want you to come over immediately."
"Okay! Tell them I'm coming right now. Jiu'er, I have something to do here, so I'll have to talk to you later."
Qiu Jiu ordered his men to leave and was about to end the call with Hua Yan.
"Uncle Jiu, is that Shan Yu and the others? You don't need to hang up, just let them answer the phone in a bit."
"Jiu'er, let me see how things go first. Maybe they've changed their minds!"
Hehe! Qiu Jiu himself didn't believe what he said, but deep down he didn't want Hua Yan to worry.
When I went to Kyoto to find Huayan, it was to get her opinion, not to have her confront others head-on.
"Uncle Jiu, once they answer the phone, you'll know whether I can solve this problem or not."
"All right!"
Having no other choice, Qiu Jiu took the phone and went downstairs to meet Shan Yu and the others.
A short while later, Hua Yan heard a teasing voice coming from the phone.
"Hey! Boss Qiu, why are you looking so gloomy? Don't you want to see us?"
It was Shan Yu's voice; Hua Yan recognized it.
"Young Master Shan Yu, you're a guest, we should be welcoming you, why are you looking so gloomy?"
Qiu Jiu forced a smile and said things against his will.
"Haha! Welcome! But I don't want to be a guest, I want to be the owner of this hotel. What's your decision? Have you spoken to your so-called boss?"
Dan Yu was sitting on a sofa in the hotel lobby, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking nonchalant. Qian Hua, on the other hand, was calm and collected, smoking without saying a word.
Hehe! Whether they are the children of officials or the children of the rich, they all have the potential to be spoiled brats. They can't stand anyone else, acting like the world is their boss and they are second only to the heavens. They are so arrogant that they can't stand up to the sky.
"Young Master Shan, this is our boss's phone number. You can speak to her directly!"
Qiu Jiu knew that he could not resolve the matter on his own, so he had no choice but to let Hua Yan take charge.
"Oh! Your boss, haha! There really is a boss. You're not just having someone scam me, are you?"
I've investigated, and the legal representative of this hotel is your name. However, I'm also curious; I heard you're from Shengjing (Shenyang), and I asked around in Shengjing, but nobody knows anyone named you.”
As he spoke, Shan Yu took the phone from Qiu Jiu's hand.
"Hey! This big boss behind the scenes, it's really not easy to get a meeting with you!"
"How should I address you? I'm Shan Yu, from Kyoto, and I'm very interested in your hotel."
"Young Master Shan Yu, it's been a long time. You've switched from the steel business to the hotel business now?"
Hua Yan's tone was distant, conveying a sense of detachment and mastery, as if she were strategizing and winning battles from afar.
"Oh? You're a little girl? I really didn't expect that. May I ask your name?"
Shan Yu truly didn't expect that this person was not only a girl, but also knew his background.
"Hua Yan."
Hua Yan calmly stated her name.
"What? What's your name?"
Shan Yu seemed to have heard the name before, but he was momentarily confused.
"Hua Yan. Young Master Shan Yu, you wouldn't be so forgetful, would you? We've worked together before. You kidnapped me to the suburbs and said you really wanted to cooperate with me. You haven't forgotten that, have you?"
Hua Yan's tone was blatantly sarcastic.
Dan Yu took a deep breath and glanced at Qian Hua sitting next to him with a panicked look in his eyes.
"Ah! Haha! It's Sister Huayan, ah!..."
Shan Yu didn't know what to say.
How did we end up kicking this hornet's nest again? Last time I offended this girl, Liu Heming almost had his dad break his legs. What am I going to do this time?
Dan Yu broke out in a cold sweat. Although it was already quite warm in Shenzhen, he was sweating profusely.
Qiu Jiu was stunned. What was going on? This guy named Shan Yu not only knew Jiu'er, but was also very polite to her.
Upon hearing Hua Yan's name, Qian Hua reacted faster than Shan Yu, recognizing her as the wealthy patron who could absorb all their goods. He then looked at Shan Yu with pity, somewhat at a loss for words.
“Young Master Shan Yu, I heard from Uncle Jiu that you insist on having my hotel? I'm sorry, I have no intention of selling this hotel at the moment. What do you think we should do?”
Hua Yan's tone seemed to be one of negotiation, but in reality, it was an undeniable refusal.
"Hehe! Sister Huayan, I didn't know it was your business. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had such thoughts even if you gave me a few times the courage."
Dan Yu wisely backed down. He dared not offend this lady again. Not to mention her economic power, his father had told him that high-ranking officials had met Hua Yan before. His father didn't say who it was, but he could imagine Hua Yan's "high" status.
Qiu Jiu's heart was pounding uncontrollably. This arrogant young master had never given him a second glance, always acting all high and mighty from the start. But now, he was actually being humble and subservient to Jiu'er. Qiu Jiu felt a sense of relief wash over him.
"Looks like I'm pretty lucky. If this hotel wasn't mine, it's definitely going to be yours?"
Hua Yan wasn't going to give this guy any face; what a piece of trash.
Knowing that he had invested in building a car factory, he kidnapped her and forced her to cooperate. If Liu Heming hadn't gone to his father, he would have really been able to control everything!
Now they've set their sights on hotels in Shenzhen and Xiamen, and they're trying to snatch them up; we can't refuse them.
Haha! It seems that the law is just a piece of paper here, completely useless. No wonder when there was turmoil in my previous life, one of the slogans was "Down with official profiteering, punish corruption!"
This shows how arrogant these children of officials were at the time.
"Sister Huayan, you've misunderstood. I was thinking..."
Shan Yu wanted to excuse himself, but he couldn't come up with a decent reason.
“Young Master Shan Yu, if you have any earth-shattering ideas in the future, please let me know first, so as to avoid such an awkward situation from happening again.”
Hua Yan's words implied that if there was a next time, she wouldn't be so lenient.
"Okay! Next time... Oh! There won't be a next time. Sister Huayan, please forgive my rashness and impetuosity this time."
Thankfully, Shan Yu's lazy and lazy mind didn't shut down, otherwise Hua Yan might have dealt with him prematurely.
Hehe! I reckon Xue Biao will present Shan Yu's crimes to Hua Yan before he leaves.
"Alright, Young Master Shan Yu, if there's nothing else, tell Uncle Jiu to calm down. He's probably been so preoccupied with your affairs lately that he can't eat or sleep."
Hua Yan had no intention of letting Shan Yu off so easily, after all, the trouble he had caused Qiu Jiu was not something that could be resolved with a simple apology.
