Chapter 241 Meeting
"Tianyi, come to the club when you have time."
I've actually been going there much less this month.
In the afternoon, I received the message and rushed to the club.
as predicted,
Although I haven't commented, Yu Chi Lin eventually set up a high-end men's wellness club at ZQ's place; frankly, it's still the same old thing...
Nominally, I was in charge of securing projects, investing, and managing operations. But in reality, Qiu Zhanyu was the behind-the-scenes operator. Was he using me as a puppet?
Do you think I'm made of clay?
Ha ha.
Are all leaders like this?
"What happened?"
I found Wu Yingrong.
"He called him. Wasn't Tian Kai trying to find out about Young Master Long? He made contact with him."
Where are they?
"upstairs."
I still harbor some resentment. Qiu Zhanyu misappropriated the funds I raised on three separate occasions, totaling 4 million yuan. I also have 4 million yuan in personal funds left, and more than a month has passed without any explanation.
"Su Tao, Tian Kai, Yu Chi Lin, Ji Xin, Hu Chu Yue, and Jin Hu will all be here soon."
My face looked rather pale.
Why do I say that?
Su Tao, Tian Kai, Yu Chi Lin, and Ji Xin are related to Wu Yingrong, while Hu Chu Yue and Jin Hu are related to me. However, in essence, Wu Yingrong and I took on the risk of raising 2 million yuan to develop the ZQ computing power project.
Qiu Zhanyu notified a few people to come directly without going through us, which is no different from kicking someone after they've served their purpose.
We didn't have to wait long.
Tian Kai and Su Tao were the first to arrive and received the message from Young Master Long. Tian Kai, in particular, was the most proactive.
"Yingrong, you're really amazing."
"Hehe, I don't have that ability, it's all because of my connections with the boss."
As expected of Tian Kai and Su Tao, who had fought side by side, Su Tao highly praised the legend of Young Master Long after listening to Tian Kai's explanation.
However, the atmosphere was still strange; everyone exchanged only a few pleasantries and wasn't as enthusiastic as before.
The money that Tian Kai and Su Tao lent to Team Leader Zhao should not have been recovered yet.
Finally, Tian Kai couldn't help but ask.
"Yingrong, has Captain Zhao been to the club recently?"
"no."
"This guy borrowed 100 million from me, saying it would be for a week, but it's been over a month now, and he won't listen to me."
"Holy crap, he lent me 200 million."
The two of them stared at each other, exchanging brilliant moves right under their noses.
Why didn't you ask me when he lent you the money?
"I figured it was a connection, so saving face would be better. Even if I got caught again later, I could still use that connection to my advantage..."
"That's what I think too..."
At that moment, the two of them looked at me at the same time.
"Tianyi, you're so rich, has Captain Zhao contacted you?"
"no."
But I already suspected that Captain Zhao and Qiu Zhanyu were in cahoots, that the two of them were definitely up to something, and that they had just lost money in the stock market.
"Where is Yu Chi Lin?"
"She's been quite busy lately; her boss has introduced her to a lot of resources."
Tian Kai's face showed considerable envy upon hearing this.
Ji Xin arrived late and sat the furthest away from me, acting as if she were a complete stranger and didn't know me at all.
Once everyone had arrived, Qiu Zhanyu finally came downstairs, followed by Yu Chilin.
How come I never noticed this guy was such a show-off before?
"Director Qiu."
The group of people stood up with a hint of respect.
I stood up as well.
"Hehe, please sit down."
Wu Yingrong brews tea.
A large group of people were gathered around the tea table.
Clear your throat.
Qiu Zhanyu glanced at the audience: "I've been quite busy for the past six months and haven't been here much. I'm very grateful for everyone's support of ZQ, as well as for Tianyi and Yingrong's hard work."
The words were very politely spoken.
"You must be curious about what I've been up to lately. I happen to have some free time today, so I'd like to meet with you all and have a chat."
After saying that, Qiu Zhanyu gestured to Yu Chilin to take out the documents and materials, and each of us received a copy.
National-level elderly care project.
Gongshan Gold Mine.
Qiu Zhanyu gave us ten minutes to watch.
"Young Master Long, we've met before and had a meal together. The national-level elderly care project was brought from Beijing by him, and the Gongshan Gold Mine was an accidental discovery during development of the mountain he leased. So far, it's still a secret. I called you all here because we're all on the same side, so don't tell anyone."
This young master Long is truly lucky.
Gold mine...
"Has it been reported?"
"No. I have met with Young Master Long, myself, and Hou Yaomin, the director of the Mineral Resources Management Division of the Provincial Department of Natural Resources. We will definitely report it, but we still have plenty of time to proceed."
Unauthorized gold mining is a crime!
However, the few people present tacitly remained silent.
Qiu Zhanyu was very satisfied with our performance.
"The gold mine is the threshold for the nursing home project. Participating in this project gives you a ticket to the national-level nursing home project. For you, this is your opportunity to get in touch with them. For me, this is a path."
Hearing Qiu Zhanyu's words, everyone's breathing became much heavier.
None of you here are ordinary people.
They are wealthy and have a certain social status.
But the more this is the case, the more cautious we become.
If I had money, I would eat and drink as I pleased. Hiding it away is meaningless, not enjoyable enough, and lacks vision. I would keep half and spend the other half, thus entering retirement early. This is the thinking of ordinary people because such people have never had money and have never experienced being rich.
Therefore... we should understand that such a person is poor... and we should also accept his shortsightedness and ordinariness.
Anyone with assets exceeding 100 million...
Your mindset will then prioritize material enjoyment over anything else.
Protecting one's assets is the top priority;
How to increase wealth accumulation is secondary;
Only then will considerations of offspring, inheritance, and education be taken into account, interspersed with various material experiences and enjoyments, including those related to women...
Su Tao, Tian Kai, and Yu Chi Lin are actually the same type of people: first-generation entrepreneurs and second-generation rich kids. They have money, but they are confused about the future. Having seen higher levels, they are even more afraid of that position. They feel empty inside, yet they want to climb higher.
Only those who have possessed something are more afraid of losing it.
People like Qiu Zhanyu, Chen Yitang, and Ji Xin are different. They have a solid and real path in their hearts, paved by their parents. They don't need to be lost or feel empty. Their lives are about moving forward steadily and firmly with faith in their hearts.
Do these kinds of people have no desires?
Of course there are.
When Qiu Zhanyu met Young Master Long, he was desperately trying to climb the social ladder.
Put down the teacup.
"You don't need to rush to reply to me, but time and opportunity only favor those with wisdom and courage. The mine will be up and running in a week."
Qiu Zhanyu glanced at Su Tao and Tian Kai again: "Zhao San is doing things for me. The money he takes from you two can be counted as an investment in the mine."
This boost gave them confidence.
I didn't need to look at their expressions to know that they were definitely going to invest in the follow-up projects for this gold mine.
"Tianyi, come to my house for dinner tonight. Your sister-in-law has been wanting to invite you to dinner for a long time, but I haven't had time to ask you out. Let's take advantage of this opportunity and go home together."
