Liu Jian left and didn't stay at Ren Shanshan's house for the Spring Festival. Although he had toughened his skin a lot these days, Liu Jian still intended to leave the Ren family a complete space. Although he called himself the Ren family's son-in-law, he knew in his heart that he wasn't yet. He didn't even have a complete idea of how to treat the two Ren sisters. However, a sheep that falls into a tiger's mouth shouldn't think about escaping, especially since the two Ren sisters are so beautiful and have such good figures. Just thinking about Ren Shanshan wantonly yielding beneath him, and Ren Shanshan being harassed by him repeatedly, filled Liu Jian with indescribable joy.
Perhaps every man has a dark side, but those with power dare to expose it, and can expose it, while others can only hide this dark psychology in a corner. Liu Jian is the same. In his previous life, he was a neglected virgin who always dreamed of pinning other women beneath him and torturing them, but that was just a fantasy. After his rebirth, Liu Jian changed a lot, but this mentality didn't change. It's just that he never had the opportunity to explode. He was always busy with family affairs, changing his own destiny, and didn't dare to take that step. Because of his previous life's attachment to Zhang Ying and Yu Miao, and the introductions of relatives, he suppressed his desires. But after arriving in Shenyang, where the sky's the limit, Liu Jian discovered that his money could control the fate of others. Beautiful women he could only gaze at from afar were now moaning beneath him. Suddenly, Liu Jian's desires were unleashed to the fullest extent. He didn't control himself at all, just as he constantly teased Ren Yingying, because Ren Yingying wouldn't resist, couldn't resist, and didn't dare to resist. So he recklessly indulged his desires. If he hadn't promised Ren Shanshan, Liu Jian would have certainly taken Ren Yingying's virginity at the Ren family's house. Even so, Liu Jian didn't let Ren Yingying go. He knew that girl would be his sooner or later.
All these changes made Liu Jian understand the power of money even more, deepened his desire for money, and made him even more eager to find advantageous projects to accelerate the speed at which he accumulated wealth. Just thinking about how, with enough money, those stars, singers, and hosts could all lie beneath him, Liu Jian's heart was even more ablaze. Leaving the Ren family to go to Hangzhou was to develop a project he had long been optimistic about in Hangzhou. Now it just depends on whether he can seize the opportunity.
Wu Wenbiao, the boss of Yuantong Company, has been very stressed lately. His company's development is now encountering a bottleneck, or rather, difficulties. If he can't get through this, all the foundation he's built over the years will be gone. But he's tried all the methods he can think of, and borrowed everything he can borrow, and the funds are still not enough. If no one invests, his company will probably be facing bankruptcy.
Wu Wenbiao is a native of Kangqiao Town, Hangzhou City. Of course, Kangqiao Town has now been incorporated into the urban area, so he can also be said to be a Hangzhou City resident. The coastal environment of Zhejiang is relatively good, and it is one of the first regions in the New China to become prosperous. Moreover, because it is adjacent to Shanghai, it has become the Yangtze River Delta economic zone, which is a key development area of the country. It has a unique environment and a strong commercial atmosphere. Therefore, Wu Wenbiao, a repair shop worker, went into business in the 1980s and became a "speculator," catching up with the country's vigorous development of the private economy and quickly becoming rich.
After having money, Wu Wenbiao's ambitions grew. Small-scale ventures could no longer satisfy his desires. After much consideration, he invested all his funds into his old business and opened an auto repair shop. This industry, which was not favored by others, was driven by the rapid economic development of the Yangtze River Delta. Wu Wenbiao's auto repair shop brought him high profits and became the most famous wealthy person in Kangqiao Town.
After getting money, Wu Wenbiao was not satisfied. He felt that one repair shop was too few and successively opened two more. The business was as booming as ever. In this case, Wu Wenbiao had a plan to expand his business. He conducted a survey in Hangzhou City, identified forty locations, and decided to scale up the auto repair shop. However, the funds required were not supported by Wu Wenbiao's savings over the years. In this situation, Wu Wenbiao made a choice to take out a loan, mortgaging his house, car, and three repair shops to the bank, taking out several million yuan to build chain stores according to plan. If it developed according to his plan, he would indeed become a wealthy man in Hangzhou, and may even become a wealthy man famous on the Forbes list.
But everything changed after a woman appeared. Wu Wenbiao met a young beauty named Jiang Li while preparing to build a repair shop. Over time, the two got together; one was rich, and the other was young and beautiful – a natural occurrence. They quickly began living together. Wu Wenbiao's actively expanding business also changed due to the appearance of this woman. Because it was a family business, and his wife, Li Li, had been working with him from the beginning, they each owned half of the company's shares.
After Wu Wenbiao got together with Jiang Li, he lost interest in opening a chain of repair shops, spending his days traveling and shopping with Jiang Li. At first, Li Li didn't notice the changes in her husband at all. By the time she realized it, the funds meant for the company's development had already been misappropriated by Wu Wenbiao. Not only did the company lack development funds, but even repaying the bank loan became a problem. But by this time, Li Li couldn't find Wu Wenbiao and Jiang Li; the two of them seemed to have vanished into thin air.
With no other choice, Li Li single-handedly supported Yuantong Repair Shop. Li Li, who had always been in charge of logistics, had to step forward. Wu Wenbiao didn't reappear until after New Year's Day, at which point the beautiful woman had disappeared.
It turns out Jiang Li was a con artist. She first used her beauty to get close to Wu Wenbiao, then used her tenderness to affect Wu Wenbiao's heart, which was busy with his career, drawing him into a world of gentle pleasures. Then, she begged Wu Wenbiao to take her on a trip. Immersed in the trap, Wu Wenbiao was completely unaware of the danger and took Jiang Li to Hong Kong for a trip.
After arriving in Hong Kong, when Wu Wenbiao was thrown into a dungeon, he couldn't believe that the beautiful woman beside him was the one who betrayed him. After being tortured for several months and withdrawing all the money from his bank account, Wu Wenbiao was finally rescued. However, the fraud gang had already fled abroad, and Wu Wenbiao's millions of development funds had been completely emptied.
Returning to Hangzhou alone, Wu Wenbiao discovered that his company was on the verge of life and death. The bank was constantly urging him to repay the loan, but Li Li had tried everything and was still three million short. Even selling shares didn't attract any buyers, because Yuanyuan Company was now just an empty shell with five repair shops and no ability to repay. No one was confident about whether they could recover their investment. Faced with this situation, Wu Wenbiao was also at a loss and tried every means to borrow money and sell shares. The repair shops had already been frozen. The bank, fearing that Wu Wenbiao would abscond with the money again, had prohibited the sale of the repair shops and all other illegal activities.
So it was the day before New Year's Eve that Wu Wenbiao jumped off an overpass in Hangzhou. He was only thirty-six years old, leaving behind his wife, Li Li, a year younger than him, and his sixteen-year-old daughter, Xu Yalan.
Liu Jian knew all this because in his previous life, he had briefly worked at Yuantong Company. At that time, Yuantong Company was already the most famous car 4S chain store operator in Zhejiang Province. There were more than sixty car 4S stores in Hangzhou alone. It can be said that one-third of the annual car sales share in Hangzhou was in the hands of Yuantong Company.
When Liu Jian was interning at Yuantong Company, he met Xu Yalan, who had just graduated from college. Xu Yalan was the sales manager in charge of Liu Jian. They were both at the Ford 4S store. Because Liu Jian was honest and steady, he quickly became good friends with Xu Yalan, and Xu Yalan told Liu Jian all of this after she was drunk. As for how Yuantong Company later emerged from its difficulties, it was because of Wu Wenbiao's wife, Li Li. After Wu Wenbiao's death, Li Li sold all the real estate, jewelry, cars, and various properties, plus the money she had borrowed from friends, and paid off the bank debt.
Later, with only five repair shops in hand, she had to sell half of the company's shares for funding, and all the loans were converted into shares. After that, Li Li, holding only one-third of the shares in Yuantong Company, bravely transformed the auto repair shops into the earliest integrated 4S stores for car repair and sales. In just a few years, she developed Yuantong Company, recovered some shares, and became the largest shareholder of Yuantong Company again. She then developed Yuantong Company into a star enterprise in Hangzhou City. Unfortunately, due to missed opportunities and funding limitations, it never expanded beyond Zhejiang Province. During their conversations, Xu Yalan repeatedly said that if her father hadn't taken the wrong path, their family might have made it onto the Forbes list.
Liu Jian's purpose in coming to Hangzhou was to acquire shares of Yuantong Company during its most difficult period, bringing Yuantong Company's spring season forward. Although Liu Jian didn't have the energy to run the company, with Li Li's abilities and his help at critical moments, Li Li could manage the company well. He believed that with sufficient funds, she could occupy the market sooner, step out of Zhejiang earlier, and move towards Southeast Asia, with the opportunity to seize half the country. As for whether Li Li would kick him out after the company developed well, Liu Jian didn't care at all. Because in his past life, after Li Li developed, she also limited the repurchase of the company's shares. She never forgot those who had helped her, and even those who had only lent her a small amount of money, she gave dividends to every year, and the annual dividends were much higher than the initial loan, indicating that she was a person of loyalty and righteousness.
The point of Liu Jian's conflict was that tomorrow was the 29th day of the lunar calendar, which was the day Wu Wenbiao committed suicide. Should he stop it or not? Liu Jian believed that if he persistently searched, he could likely change Wu Wenbiao's fate, but if he did, would Yuantong Company still develop as he imagined? But if he didn't save him, how could he face Xu Yalan, the girl who had selflessly helped him?
In his conflicted state, Liu Jian checked into a hotel in Hangzhou, the closest hotel to the overpass where Wu Wenbiao committed suicide. Standing in front of the window in his room, he could see the overpass that had taken a life.
