Siheyuan: Sending Shazhu into the call center, Yi Gu is useless

Chen Rufeng frowned, "Who are they? What do they want you to do?"

Wang Qiang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "They were some gangsters. I owed them some money before and thought it was settled long ago. But they found me and said that the money had compounded interest and I already owed them a large sum. That night, they blocked me at the door of the company and forced me to transfer the company's money, otherwise..."

Hearing this, Chen Rufeng's mood became more complicated. He originally thought that Wang Qiang betrayed him out of selfishness, but now that he knew the truth, his anger towards Wang Qiang began to waver, replaced by deep helplessness and sadness.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chen Rufeng asked, suppressing his emotions.

"I'm afraid of getting you into trouble." Wang Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Those people are not easy to deal with. I don't want you and the company to be in danger."

Chen Rufeng sighed, his inner struggles preventing him from making a decision immediately. After a while, he slowly said, "Qiangzi, we are brothers, and we should face difficulties together. How can I not be angry when you shoulder everything by yourself? However, things have already happened, and we have to find a way to solve it."

Wang Qiang's eyes flashed with gratitude and guilt, "Rufeng, I'm sorry, I really don't know what to do."

Chen Rufeng looked at Wang Qiang's tired face, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided, replaced by concern for his friend. He stood up and patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we will find a solution. Now, we need to calm down and think of a solution together."

The two of them were silent for a while, and a thought flashed through Chen Rufeng's mind, "Qiangzi, where are those people now? Is it possible for us to contact them?"

Wang Qiang shook his head. “I don’t know their exact whereabouts. I only know that they often appear in a bar in the city center.”

"Then let's start from there." Chen Rufeng said firmly, "We must find these people and see if it is possible to negotiate with them and resolve this matter."

Wang Qiang nodded, and his trust in Chen Rufeng was rekindled. They decided to do some investigation first, learn more about those people, and then make plans for the next step.

In the next few days, Chen Rufeng and Wang Qiang secretly investigated the bar. They learned that the bar was run by a gangster named Yan Bugui, who had considerable influence in the city center. They also found that Yan Bugui had been looking for some illegal financing channels recently and was in urgent need of funds.

One night, Chen Rufeng and Wang Qiang decided to go to the bar to check things out. They dressed up as ordinary customers, entered the bar, and looked around. The lights in the bar were dim, the music was deafening, people of all kinds gathered here, and the air was filled with the smell of tobacco and alcohol.

They found a seat in a corner and sat down, quietly observing the surroundings. Suddenly, Wang Qiang gently nudged Chen Rufeng with his elbow, motioning him to look at a box not far away. Chen Rufeng followed Wang Qiang's gaze and saw a burly middle-aged man talking to several of his men. It was Yan Bugui.

Chen Rufeng took a deep breath and whispered to Wang Qiang, "Let's go over and take a look."

The two men stood up and slowly walked towards the box, pretending to pass by casually. As they approached, Chen Rufeng heard the conversation between Yan Bugui and his men.

"Hasn't that money been settled yet?" Yan Bugui's voice was low and intimidating.

"Yes, boss. We found several targets, but failed without success." There was a hint of uneasiness in the subordinate's voice.

"Speed ​​up, I don't want to wait any longer." Yan Bugui said coldly.

Hearing this, Chen Rufeng and Wang Qiang exchanged glances and came up with a plan. They decided to take advantage of Yan Bugui's urgent need for funds and find an opportunity to negotiate with him to solve the problem.

The next day, Chen Rufeng found a middleman through some friends and asked him to help arrange a meeting with Yan Bugui. After a few days of waiting, they finally got a reply and Yan Bugui agreed to meet with them.

The meeting place was chosen to be a private room in a high-end restaurant. Chen Rufeng and Wang Qiang arrived on time, and Yan Bugui and his two men also arrived as scheduled. After a few pleasantries, the two sides got straight to the point.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that you have something to talk to me about?" Yan Bugui leaned back in his chair, a hint of disdain and curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Yan." Chen Rufeng said calmly, "We know that you have some financial difficulties recently, and I happen to have some resources here that can help you overcome the difficulties."

Yan Bugui raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Then what do you want?"

Chen Rufeng glanced at Wang Qiang and continued, "It's simple. We hope you can let Wang Qiang go and stop harassing our company."

Yan Bugui sneered, "Do you think I will agree so easily? What kind of resources can you provide?"

Chen Rufeng was already prepared. He took out a document from his bag and handed it to Yan Bugui. "This is a new product recently developed by our company. It has great market prospects. If you are willing to cooperate, we can let you become our investor and get corresponding benefits."

Yan Bugui was flipping through the documents, frowning slightly, and it was obvious that he was somewhat tempted by the proposal. However, he did not express his opinion immediately, but was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Your proposal sounds good, but I need time to consider it."

Chen Rufeng nodded, "Of course, Mr. Yan. We hope to get your reply as soon as possible."

Yan Bugui said nothing more, stood up, and signaled his men to leave. Chen Rufeng and Wang Qiang also stood up and said goodbye, full of expectations and uneasiness about the outcome of the negotiations.

In the next few days, they continued to be busy with the company's affairs while waiting for Yan Bugui's reply. Finally, one night, Yan Bugui's men contacted Chen Rufeng and told them to meet again in the bar the next day.

Yan Bugui's attitude was much more relaxed during this meeting. He sat in a corner of the bar and nodded slightly when he saw Chen Rufeng and Wang Qiang coming over.

"Mr. Chen, I have considered your proposal." Yan Bugui said straight to the point, "I can promise not to bother you again, but you have to ensure the success of the product and not let my investment go to waste."

Chen Rufeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, we will do our best to ensure the success of the project."

Yan Bugui nodded, revealing a satisfied smile, "Okay, it's settled then."

The matter was temporarily resolved, and Chen Rufeng and Wang Qiang felt a little relieved.
