Chapter 1107 Absurd Past
The trip to Hangzhou to acquire Huxi Knitting Factory and "Three Sheep" was quite successful. Then Chen Zhen and A Bao immediately returned to Shanghai. The next thing they had to do was to deal with the issue of the high-end imitations of "Three Sheep".

Chen Zhen looked at Su Ning with a face full of shame and explained, "Mr. Su, I'm sorry! I didn't expect the Hangzhou Second Light Industry Bureau to force two factories on the verge of bankruptcy, and one of them was a struggling paper mill. At the time, I thought you were eager to take over the Huxi Knitting Factory, so I didn't notify you and instead directly agreed to the Second Light Industry Bureau's request."

However, Suning remained unconcerned, knowing full well that there was no such thing as a free lunch. "That's fine! Our Su Group's focus has always been on physical factories, and we will continue to acquire other state-owned factories."

"Mr. Su, are you really optimistic about our domestic manufacturing industry?"

"Yes! Section Chief Jin from No. 27 is about to be transferred, and her destination is to negotiate the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade with foreign countries. If this agreement is reached, our domestic manufacturing and foreign trade industries will usher in a boom."

"Great! I thought I had done something wrong."

"Chen Zhen, I'm going to assign you to inspect domestic factories. My goal is to support a group of top-tier factories capable of producing high-tech products. This will naturally require a significant investment in capital and technology, but I don't want any complications to arise."

"I understand! Mr. Su, I will definitely not let you down."

Then Suning looked at A Bao who was standing beside him and explained, "A Bao, the mastermind behind this scheme has been found. It's Mrs. Lin, the proprietress of Yushan Pavilion on Huanghe Road."

At this moment, A Bao naturally showed an expression of disbelief, "What? It turned out to be this crazy woman?"

"That's really crazy! She actually said that if she can't do the business, no one else can do it either."

"Huh! So arrogant?"

"Haha, they really have the confidence to be so arrogant. They took down Boss Ma before us. This is a very remarkable thing."

"Mr. Su, how do you plan to resolve this crisis?"

"Mrs. Lin gave Boss Ma a deposit of 300,000 yuan, and Boss Ma has already sent all the high-end replicas of the "Three Rams" to Mrs. Lin's warehouse. If Mrs. Lin's warehouse suddenly caught fire, would Boss Ma and Mrs. Lin resort to a dog-eat-dog situation?"

"What? A warehouse fire?"

"There will be a fire and water damage at the warehouse at Pier 29 in the YP area tonight."

"Uh……"

"Abao, I'll let you take charge of the 'Three Sheep' T-shirts from now on. If you do a really good job, I'm considering letting you take charge of the Perilla clothing. I feel like you're really good at creating hype and publicity."

"Huh? What about Mr. Chen?"

"Didn't I just say that Chen Zhen will be responsible for the Su Group's acquisition of state-owned enterprises? After all, such a big thing must be handled by a reliable person."

"Okay! Mr. Su, just watch my next performance."

Suning is naturally very confident in Abao. After all, Abao has already proven his ability in the original drama. The only trouble this time is that he encountered the crazy woman Lin Tai.

……

Then Suning and Abao looked towards the dock warehouse in the YP area. Sure enough, a fierce fire broke out at eight o'clock in the evening. This fire also laid the foundation for the rise of the "Sanyang" brand.

Suning looked at the stunned Abao and said, "Abao, this time there are no more worries about the "Three Goats" T-shirt. Now it's time to watch your wonderful performance."

Realizing he had reached a point of no return, A Bao said solemnly, "Don't worry! I won't let you down. It's just that Mrs. Lin will definitely faint in the bathroom tonight."

This time, Suning ostensibly acted as a banker and acquired Huxi Knitting Factory and "Three Sheeps", but the real achievement was to bring the isolated Abao into the Su Group. You must know that Abao has indeed become a talent after these years of experience.

"Haha, the one who's going to cry is actually Boss Ma. Mrs. Lin definitely won't pay Boss Ma the balance. It would be exciting if Boss Ma and Mrs. Lin started to tear each other apart."

"Huh? Boss Ma shouldn't be a match for Mrs. Lin, right?"

"It's hard to say! Boss Ma and the Zhuji Gang are widely recognized as the unconventional gangs, while Mrs. Lin's influence is all in Taiwan. If they really start fighting, the outcome might be hard to predict."

"That's right! Also, Mr. Xu from Hulian Commercial Building wants to meet you."

"Mr. Xu? I heard from an insider that he will be transferred soon, probably to a supermarket chain."

"What? Is the news reliable?"

"Very reliable! So this cooperation may be your last. Once Hulian Commercial Building changes its head, there will definitely be big changes."

"I know what to do. Will you still meet Mr. Xu?"

"Let's meet! Let's meet tomorrow night at the 'Beijing Room' of 'Qiu Hai Tang'. Our Jiuzhou Market is preparing to enter the mainland market. Perhaps we can cooperate with Mr. Xu in the future."

"it is good!"

……

At this time, Mrs. Lin and Boss Ma were indeed completely dumbfounded. The warehouse fire happened too suddenly, and the fire only burned Boss Ma's batch of "Three Sheep" imitations.

"Mrs. Lin, what on earth is going on? Why did the warehouse suddenly catch fire?"

"warn!"

"what?"

"This is a warning from Abao and the people behind him, warning us not to touch the cake in their hands."

"That's outrageous! We need to call the police and have them arrested."

"Humph! Boss Ma, do you have any evidence?"

"I……"

"Also, Zisu Clothing, a subsidiary of the Su Group, has acquired Huxi Knitting Factory and Sanyang. I think Boss Ma, you should understand what this means."

"Humph! Isn't it just Suning, the richest man in Shanghai? At worst, I can bring my men to kill him."

"That's enough! There's no point in you yelling here. We must accept our failure this time."

"Mrs. Lin, what about the remaining 700,000 yuan?"

"Boss Ma, I've already lost three hundred thousand in such a short time. Are you going to put all the blame on me?"

"Mrs. Lin, don't forget! I've already given you goods worth one million, so naturally you're responsible for this matter. You can't lose a single cent of the remaining seven hundred thousand."

"..." Mrs. Lin suddenly stared at Boss Ma in front of her without saying a word, realizing that Boss Ma was a gambler who had lost everything. "What? Boss Ma is not satisfied with my arrangement?"

"Hmph! I know you, Mrs. Lin, are very powerful in Taiwan, but this is Shanghai, not Taiwan. Also, you have to understand that the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. No one in this world can owe me, Ma Guangkun, a penny."

"Haha, great! Then let me, Mrs. Lin, see the strength of your boss Ma."

"Just wait and see! I hope you won't regret it then." "..."

Then Boss Ma turned around and left "Yushan Pavilion" angrily, which made Mrs. Lin sneer with disdain. You know, Mrs. Lin originally made a living in the underworld, and she really didn't take Boss Ma's threat seriously.

At this moment, Manager Gong saw Boss Ma leave angrily, so he pushed open the door of the top box of "Yushan Pavilion" and walked in. "Mrs. Lin, it seems that Boss Ma is very angry this time. Should we be careful to guard against his revenge?"

"Manager Gong, who do you think betrayed us?"

"Huh? I can't really explain it."

"Our cooperation with Mr. Ma this time is very secretive. The warehouse we chose was also temporarily borrowed from a Taiwanese businessman. I really don't understand who leaked the information?"

"Mrs. Lin, the owner of 'Qiu Hai Tang', Su Ning, is very mysterious. His methods are beyond the comprehension of us ordinary people. Back then, Lu Meiling, the owner of 'Jin Mei Lin' restaurant, caused trouble, but in the end, Su Ning easily dealt with it. He even used two helicopters to airdrop food, which became a major event that shocked Shanghai at the time."

"I heard about this incident back in Taiwan. Speaking of which, you used to work at the Garden Hotel. You must have known Suning's confidante, Pan Ling, right?"

"Ah? I know her! When Pan Ling was a supervisor at the Garden Hotel, I was a cashier there. Later, I worked as a supervisor at "Xilehui" for a while, and then I left "Xilehui" and returned to the Garden Hotel."

"Manager Gong, why didn't you continue to work at Xilehui?"

"me……"

"Why? It's hard to say? Or is it you who betrayed me this time?"

"Ah? Lin Tai, I didn't! I definitely didn't betray you."

"Then tell me why you didn't stay at Joyful Club?"

"Because... because Suning wanted to take advantage of me, so I didn't want to and left Xilehui."

"Haha, ridiculous! He can come up with such a ridiculous excuse. Suning is the richest man in Shanghai. What kind of beautiful woman can't he find?"

"Really! Everything I said is true! Back then, my boyfriend and I were very much in love, and he was a top student at Fudan University, so I didn't even look down on the upstart Suning."

"Oh? Are you still with that boyfriend now?"

"We broke up! My boyfriend went abroad to study in the United States after graduating from college, and then he heartlessly kicked me away."

"Interesting! I didn't expect that Manager Gong, you have such a tragic experience?"

"Mrs. Lin, I really didn't leak any information about you. Besides, the incident between me and Suning was a huge one, and there are many people who know about it. If you don't believe me, you can definitely investigate it in detail."

"Don't worry! I will naturally investigate thoroughly, but I will definitely not allow anyone to betray me."

"..."

Although what Manager Gong said was very convincing, Mrs. Lin, who was suspicious by nature, naturally did not believe it and did not hesitate to conduct a detailed investigation.

……

Suning should thank someone for being able to find out about Boss Ma and Mrs. Lin so quickly this time, and that person is Pan Ling from the "Xilehui" catering culture company.

"Pan Ling, your information was very timely this time, otherwise I would have spent a lot of effort to investigate."

"Hehe, shouldn't you thank me? You should thank Gong Yue."

"Who? Who is Gong Yue?"

"Humph! You're truly heartless. You haven't forgotten the little girl you forced away, have you?"

"Huh? Pan Ling, what are you talking about? I don't understand a single word you say."

"Mr. Su, in 1989, you made a killing in the Japanese stock market. So happy, you got drunk at the Happy Club and actually made advances on Gong Yue, the foreman. Gong Yue was so angry she left Happy Club, and this incident has become an open secret on Yellow River Road."

"What? Is this true? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

"Oh! Maybe this is really just a misunderstanding, but Gong Yue has been unable to let it go, so I didn't expect her to tell me about it. Maybe she's recently encountered difficulties and is really in urgent need of money."

"What difficulties did she encounter?"

"It seems her father urgently needs a major operation. As you know, it's almost impossible to get surgery without money."

"Pan Ling, I have a question. Why did Gong Yue reject me at that time? You know, there are countless women who want to get close to me."

"At that time, she had a childhood sweetheart, a top student at Fudan University. Naturally, she looked down on you, a playboy full of money."

"Huh? Help me arrange a meeting with this Gong Yue. It seems I need to explain this matter to her in person."

"Okay! I'll arrange it."

"Also, every private room at 'Happy Club' has surveillance cameras. Please help me find the footage from that day and show it to me. I'm sure you've kept it."

"Okay! I'll give it to you later."

To be honest, Suning didn't expect that he would do such a ridiculous thing. After all, such plots are mostly brainless plots in sweet pet dramas. The heroine even later brings out a child to recognize the hero.

After watching the plot in the surveillance video, Suning was glad that he did not force himself on Gong Yue, otherwise his reputation would really be ruined in this film and television world.

Then, Suning looked at the strange girl beside him and explained, "Gong Yue, this is the surveillance video from 1989. I was indeed drunk at the time, and it was wrong of me to touch you. I sincerely apologize to you here."

"No... no need! Mr. Su, this is all in the past, and it was indeed a misunderstanding."

"Thank you for this time! Otherwise we might really be in big trouble."

"Mr. Su, Mr. Pan paid me 100,000 yuan, so you don't need to thank me for anything extra."

Then Suning took out a bank card and handed it to Gong Yue. "There's 200,000 yuan on this card. The password is one to six. This is my compensation for what happened in 1989."

"No need! After all, I didn't have anything to lose at the time."

"How can there be no loss? The rumors about us have been circulating on Huanghe Road for so many years. I'm sure it has had a great impact on your life."

"I……"

"Take it! It's my little apology."
