288: Chapter 288: Accompanying Burial?

Does Your Family Own a Mine?

Buried with me?

Xu Feng laughed heartily.

“Not a bad choice of words!

After his old man kicked the bucket, Mu En went absolutely mad.”

“I was sleeping just fine in my estate early in the morning when he set off a crazy amount of fireworks and drones, turning the place upside down!”

“Good thing you were smart last night and didn’t agree to rest at my estate, or you would have been woken up too!”

Wu Jie snorted coldly:

“He’s seething with hatred for you now and could try to take you out at any time using all sorts of methods.

And you still invite me to sit with you?

Do I look like I’m tired of living or something?”

Xu Feng, taken aback, asked, “Do you think he’d be able to make a move in the hotel?

Today, celebrities and tycoons are gathering, security is extremely tight.

How could he possibly get a chance to act?”

Wu Jie sneered: “You’ll have to ask Mu En that; how would I know what he’s planning to do!”

“Xu Changshan put a huge bounty on your head; you must have faced quite a few assassination attempts, right?

You should have a lot of experience in this area!”

“Experience is bought with life, you want to learn?

Pay me!

Give me a couple of millions and I’ll gift you a piece of advice!”

“Damn it!

Why is it always about money with you?

Have you never seen money in your life?”

“Back when my family was poor, we really didn’t have any money.

Now that I have the chance to earn some, of course I have to rake it in!”

“Screw this!

I’m not chatting with you any longer.

I’m at the hotel, Presidential Suite 1888, feel free to drop by if you’re not afraid of dying!”

After hanging up, Wu Jie turned to see the astonished expression on Tang Xiao’s face.

“Being able to chat with Mad Xu for so long, you must be crazy too!”

Wu Jie said with a playful grin: “Yeah!

Who but a madman would dare to marry you?”

“Pretend…” Tang Xiao almost blurted out.

But remembering the driver was in front, she quickly shut her mouth, shooting Wu Jie a fierce glare.

She pulled down the central armrest, placing it between them.

Then she turned slightly and leaned against the seatback, closing her beautiful eyes to rest.

Wu Jie, knowing it wasn’t convenient in the car and understanding Tang Xiao’s recent penchant for eating and sleeping, didn’t disturb her.

He took out his phone, remotely checked that the mountain of money in the warehouse was still there, and then began to think about starting a business.

Registering a new company, hiring employees, renting a space, buying equipment…

What a hassle.

Wu Jie planned to buy outright because short-video apps had been all the rage in the past couple of years, attracting companies of all sizes.

And in the Tianyuan Internet Industrial Park, small companies and teams were springing up and shutting down almost every day.

It was a survival of the fittest, and most ended in tragedy.

And now…

Wu Jie soon saw several messages in a chat group for programmers.

“Star Cloud Internet Technology in Tianyuan has gone bankrupt!”

“That bastard boss squandered money on food, drinks, prostitutes, and gambling, racking up 350 million in debt, then ran off with his mistress!”

“We had no choice but to use the company’s desks, chairs, and computers to compensate our wages!”

“Originally all the classy stuff, each valued over ten grand or several thousand, now we’re selling everything in a bundle for just three hundred thousand!”

…

Bankruptcy?

Unpaid employee wages?

Fully equipped, ready staff, and an existing site?

My God!

It’s as if it was all prepared just for me!

In an instant!

Wu Jie tagged ‘Loves Eating Chocolate’ in the group:

“How much to buy the whole company?

I’ll buy it!”

Not long after sending the message, he got a reply.

“Two hundred thousand!

But if you take over, you have to let us keep our jobs, give us a 10% raise, and pay a month’s salary in advance!”

Wu Jie shook his head and chuckled: “A matter that can be settled for just tens of thousands, can that even be called money?”

His fingers flew across his phone as he added the other party as a friend and immediately sent a message:

“My family owns a mine, ready to spend big!”

“Give me a number so your boss can talk to me directly; I’ll take over the company!”

The reply was quick: “Holy moly!

Bowing down to the new boss!

Go talk to Mr.

Li quickly, his phone number is 136…”

Whoosh!

Wu Jie casually sent over a two-thousand-yuan red packet.

“A little token of appreciation; keep the staff and equipment secured for me.

After the acquisition, there will be a big reward!”

“Thanks, boss!

I guarantee to complete the mission!”

Wu Jie immediately contacted Mr.

Li.

However…

“We’re sorry, the user you are calling is busy!”

Twice in a row, the same message.

“Probably scared of debt collectors,” Wu Jie guessed.

Despite his cold laugh, he sent a text message.

The other party hadn’t replied yet, but the car had already arrived at the hotel’s underground garage.

Seeing Tang Xiao sleeping soundly, Wu Jie simply lifted her by the waist.

Really not heavy at all!

At the elevator entrance, security had already been set up.

After a round of checks and confirmation, Wu Jie was allowed to go upstairs.

Still in the elevator, his phone in his pocket was buzzing nonstop.

After reaching the room and placing Tang Xiao on the bed, Wu Jie took out his phone and almost laughed out loud.

Three missed calls!

Two text messages!

“Bro, pick up the phone, will you?”

“Big brother, are you serious about the acquisition?

The price is negotiable!!”

Locking the door, Wu Jie put on his headset and went to squat in the bathroom to smoke and negotiate on the phone.

“Brother, you really are a lifesaving Bodhisattva!”

“I’ve got everything here – staff, equipment, premises – just can’t pay the wages or afford the rent!”

“I mortgaged my house for the startup, and now the bank is hounding me day in, day out to pay back the money!

So, as long as you pay cash, the price can be negotiated!”

On the phone, Mr.

Li’s tone was anxious as if his hair was on fire.

Wu Jie laughed, “I’m in Liuli City, and I don’t even know where your company is or what its current state is, how can I make an offer?”

“How about 500,000?”

“But your computer servers, chairs, benches, and the like are only worth 300,000!”

“But I also have a website and a short video app, though they don’t have much traffic or popularity!”

“Just a pile of junk data.

If it hasn’t made you rich, then it’s just rubbish!”

“400,000, can’t go any lower!”

“Alright!

I’ll add another 10,000, but you’ve got to stay another month!

I’ll send someone over to take over immediately, don’t play any tricks on me!”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jie immediately sent Yu Hui and Yu Lianping over.

If they could handle business intelligence for a Fortune 500 company and be project managers, could they not handle a bankrupt small company of just over a dozen people?

Of course, one should arrange for provisions before sending the troops!

Wu Jie created a group chat for the three of them and sent eight big red packets in the group as overtime rewards for the two.

These days, so long as the money is right, who wouldn’t be enthusiastic about their work?

Just as the acquisition work was arranged, Xu Feng called again.

“Mr.

Wu, I’ve been waiting for you upstairs for a long time, are you really afraid to come up?”

“You really are like a lingering ghost!

What’s wrong with me cuddling my wife and sleeping soundly?

Do I have to come up and bullshit with you?”

He hung up the phone in an instant and Wu Jie checked the time.

It was already six o’clock.

The evening banquet would start at eight o’clock, so the red carpet ceremony was scheduled for seven.

After washing his face, he came to the window to overlook the scene below.

The small square outside the hotel door had been laid out with a red carpet as vivid as blood, with areas for fans, reporters, and check-in among others.

As soon as the stars got out of their cars, they could walk along the red carpet, enjoying the screams and cheers of their fans.

After walking through the blitz of photographers, they could sign in and take photos against the curtain wall before entering the venue.

It was still early, but many reporters had already arrived.

There were not only satellite broadcast vans but also boom cameras were set up.

Some zealous fans had come early to grab the best spots, hoping they could shake hands, get autographs, and take photos with their idols.

“Damn it!

If I walked the red carpet cuddling Tang Xiao on the left and holding Bai Fengling on the right, I’d definitely make countless people green with envy!”

He was muttering to himself when Tang Xiao woke up.

She sat up lazily, looking drowsy as she shook her head.

“Wasn’t I sleeping in the car?

How come…”

“You were sleeping like a pig, I had to carry you upstairs!”

“You’re the pig!”

As she spoke, Tang Xiao threw a pillow, which whooshed through the air towards him.

Wu Jie caught the pillow in mid-air and laughed, “You should take a shower and put on your pretty dress, right?

The party is about to start!”

“Don’t you have to change too?

Foreman!”

Tang Xiao snorted and headed for the bathroom.

“Hurry up and order some food through the internal line.

There’s basically nothing to eat at the charity party, and the cold supper won’t be until after the party ends at nine thirty!”

“Damn!

I thought we could eat while attending the party!”

Wu Jie walked over to the bedside, picked up the phone to call, but just then the doorbell rang.

“Hello!

Room service!”

Room service, my ass!

I haven’t even called yet!

Whoosh!

Wu Jie opened his waist pack and flashed an array of gleaming darts…
