However, although he didn’t have more money now, he still needed to support his family, so he had to sell his car later. His car cost him a million yuan when he bought it, and he had driven it for three years, so it was only sold for half of its price as a second-hand car. Therefore, Zhao Binxu opened a small restaurant with five hundred thousand yuan.
Although he didn’t make as much money as before, his family could still live a happy life. He didn’t need others’ help because his life was still good.
Zhao Binxu and his family lived a peaceful life for two years. However, about a month ago, Wu Yunguang found him and told him that his friend just got a profitable project and invited him to join them. It wasn’t a huge investment, but they could get a triple payback if they invested ten million yuan in it.
Wu Yunguang talked about that investment with Zhao Binxu because Zhao Binxu told him that he still wanted to run a successful business again.
Even though he didn’t have much money now, his house was worth over ten million yuan.
Zhao Binxu felt interested in the project, and he also trusted Wu Yunguang. However, to his astonishment, Wu Yunguang cheated him out of his money. In the end, he lost his house and a lot of money.
Actually, the project was real, but it had no relationship with Wu Yunguang’s friend and the contract was fake too. It was a complete fake. Zhao Binxu reported it to the police, but it would take forever for the police to catch the criminal.
Although Zhao Binxu had helped Wu Yunguang a lot before, Wu Yunguang still deceived him, which made him feel heart-broken.
Gu Ning had sympathy for Zhao Binxu, because she knew how greedy some people could be.
Although Zhao Binxu was a skilled businessman with good character, Gu Ning still needed to investigate it.
“When did you sign the contract?” Gu Ning asked.
“June 12th at 6:30 PM, Room 303, XX hotel,” Zhao Binxu said.
“Who was there?” Gu Ning continued.
“Wu Yunguang, his secretary, the manager of his company, and his friend, Jiang Pingyi. Jiang Pingyi is the man who signed the contract with me,” Zhao Binxu said.
“Didn’t you bring a lawyer with you?” Gu Ning asked.
Hearing that, Zhao Binxu felt embarrassed. “Because I trusted him back then, I didn’t bring a lawyer with me.”
Actually, Zhao Binxu still felt that it was hard to believe that his old friend, Wu Yunguang, would deceive him.
Gu Ning could understand it.
“How did Wu Yunguang respond to it?” Gu Ning asked.
“He said it has nothing to do with him, and told me to find Jiang Pingyi, but Jiang Pingyi is missing,” Zhao Binxu said angrily.
In that case, they had to find evidence that Wu Yunguang was Jiang Pingyi’s accomplice. Without clear evidence, it was impossible for Zhao Binxu to win the case. Most importantly, he had transferred his money to Jiang Pingyi.
As a result, they had to find Jiang Pingyi and figure out his relationship with Wu Yunguang as soon as possible.
Gu Ning still needed K’s help this time.
“How much do you know about Jiang Pingyi?” Gu Ning asked.
“Not much. I only know that his name is Jiang Pingyi, and he’s 40 this year. He was born in the capital,” Zhao Binxu said.
“When did you transfer the money to him? Give me his banking details,” Gu Ning said.
Zhao Binxu took out his phone right away and told Gu Ning the needed information.
Without delay, Gu Ning sent K a massage and told him to help her find Jiang Pingyi.
“I’ll do my best to help you get enough evidence,” Gu Ning said.
“Thank you, Miss Gu,” Zhao Binxu thanked her with sincerity. “Oh, may I know why you want to help me, Miss Gu?”
He thought that Gu Ning wouldn’t help him for no reason. They weren’t friends after all.
All he knew about her was that she was a talented businesswoman and the famous Goddess Gu.
“Well, I coincidentally saw you, and I’ve heard of you before. I know you build up your company from nothing, and it was very successful before you went bankrupt. I need a good manager now, so we can help each other,” Gu Ning said.
Although there were many successful businessmen who started from scratch, it wasn’t easy at all. Besides, many businessmen were involved in bribery, but Zhao Binxu was different. He was honest and down-to-earth.
“My company is short-staffed at this time, and I just met you coincidentally, so I think fate brought us together. I don’t trust people without any experience, but I know that you’re a senior manager, and I just did you a favor, so I believe that you won’t easily betray me, right?” Gu Ning said.
She wanted absolute loyalty from her people.
Although she helped Zhao Binxu because she felt guilty for what she had done to him in her previous incarnation, it didn’t mean that he could be accorded any special treatment. If he wasn’t qualified to be a good manager, Gu Ning would use another way to compensate him.
