Chapter 229 This guy is really sinister

If nothing unexpected happens, after this bull market is over, the assets in my hands should have a chance to approach 10 million.

Although a net worth of 10 million is far from being a rich man in Shanghai, it can barely be considered a rich man. Xu Ye feels that it is time to prepare for a rainy day.

So far, apart from his father-in-law and mother-in-law who have not yet recovered their status, Jiang Chao is the person with the highest social status that Xu Ye has come into contact with. Moreover, he happens to be the vice dean of the School of Economics of Fudan University. It is Xu Ye's best choice to enter the investment circle through him. Xu Ye will definitely not miss such an opportunity.

One night passed, and it was the most annoying Monday.

Xu Ye went to the cafeteria early. After breakfast, he just sat down in the last row of the classroom, and Xu Ye received a picture sent by Xu Wanying.

Xu Ye clicked it and found that someone had splashed red paint on the door of his fruit shop.

Clicking on the voice message below, Xu Wanying complained: "Xu Ye, look, someone has poured paint on the door of our store. The paint hasn't dried yet and the smell is very pungent."

Xu Ye immediately asked: "Have you and Li Tongwen quarreled with customers in the store during this period?"

"No, we are all classmates from the same school, how could we quarrel?"

Xu Ye quickly replied: "Then don't worry about it, I have classes in the morning, I will go directly after class."

Xu Wanying said: "Okay."

After Xu Ye replied to the two messages, he told Zhang Xinzhou and Yang Fei next to him about this matter. After listening to it, the two were also puzzled.

Yang Fei: "Who is so uncultured?"

Zhang Xinzhou was silent for a while, and said: "Could it be Luo Wenbing, the owner of Kangyuan Fruit Shop?"

"You and I think the same thing."

Xu Ye quickly explained: "When we were doing the event, he was jealous of us. Last week, he secretly stopped Li Tongwen and tried to bribe him. If you want to say who is the most suspicious, it must be him."

"Should we call the police?"

"It's useless to call the police before finding evidence. Even if it is found out that it is him, at most he will have to pay some money."

Xu Ye put his fingers on the table, and his index and middle fingers kept tapping the table. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly sneered: "Since he wants to play, then we will play with him. Let's take a step of 'retreat to advance', then 'hide the truth', and finally 'kill with a borrowed knife'."

"What are you going to do?"

Xu Ye saw the teacher walk up to the podium, shook his head and said: "Let's talk about it at noon."

...

The bell rang.

Xu Ye drove Zhang Xinzhou and Yang Fei to the store entrance, lowered the shutter door, and saw a ball of red paint on it that was emitting an unpleasant smell.

After Xu Ye finished looking, he looked back in the direction of Kangyuan Fruit Store, and said to himself: "It's probably him. He usually guards the door, but today I can't even see his shadow. It seems that he is guilty."

Zhang Xinzhou sighed and said: "We should have installed a camera at the door."

Yang Fei immediately pointed to a restaurant across the street and said: "There is a camera installed at the door of that store. It should be able to take pictures of us. Do you want me to go over and ask?"

"Don't go empty-handed, take a few apples."

"Okay~"

Yang Fei quickly picked up a few apples and went to the restaurant across the street. Xu Ye and Zhang Xinzhou waited in the store for about a quarter of an hour, and Yang Fei ran back quickly.

"Fuck, you two are right. Although the pixels are terrible, you can tell from his body shape that he is the one who made the video."

"Did you copy the video?"

"Yes, it's on my phone. He brought in a truckload of goods late last night, and when he was leaving, he passed by our store and poured a bucket of paint on our door."

Xu Ye snatched Yang Fei's phone, watched the video carefully, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xinzhou, come with me later, we'll ask him out for dinner tonight."

"What did you say?!!!" Zhang Xinzhou glared and said: "He poured paint on our door, and you still want to invite him out for dinner?"

"Don't worry, I never do anything that will put me at a disadvantage."

...

It was evening in the blink of an eye.

The smell of paint was almost gone, and the number of customers in the store increased.

Xu Ye glanced at the time, reached out and patted Zhang Xinzhou on the shoulder. Zhang Xinzhou quickly got up and followed Xu Ye to Kangyuan Fruit Store.

Compared with Qingqing Fruit Shop, the business of Luo Wenbing's fruit shop is much worse.

There is no way. Xu Ye has tied up quite a lot of repeat customers by various means. These repeat customers have developed consumption habits and have become regular customers of Qingqing Fruit Shop.

When Luo Wenbing, who was guarding the shop, saw Xu Ye and Zhang Xinzhou coming together, his first reaction was a little stage fright. He asked without confidence: "Why are you here?"

Seeing his appearance, Xu Ye laughed in his heart, but said: "It's nothing, just the two of us want to invite you to dinner tonight. I wonder if Mr. Luo will give me the honor?"

"Dinner? Invite me to dinner?"

Luo Wenbing was a little confused. Last night, he thought that the business of the store was taken away by Xu Ye, and there happened to be half a bucket of unused paint in the car, so he was excited and splashed the paint on their door. When he saw Xu Ye just now, he thought that the matter was exposed, so he looked particularly nervous.

"Yes, I'll treat you."

"I'm busy." Luo Wenbing still felt that Xu Ye had no good intentions in paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, so he quickly refused.

Xu Ye still smiled and said, "I came here to treat you to dinner today because I thought that if our two families continue to fight like this, it will not benefit anyone. Instead of continuing like this, it is better to find a solution that is beneficial to both of us, so that it will be good for both of us."

After Xu Ye said this, Luo Wenbing was really interested.

It is a fact that his store's business is not as good as Xu Ye's store's business. He also wants to know what the solution that Xu Ye mentioned is.

Luo Wenbing hesitated for two minutes, and finally agreed: "If you say so, then I will listen to you."

The three of them quickly found a food stall in the snack street and sat down in a private room on the second floor.

Xu Ye ordered seven or eight dishes, returned the menu to the waiter, and asked the waiter to bring a few cans of beer.

"Boss Luo, if you put aside all the costs, how much money can your store make in a month now?"

Luo Wenbing thought Xu Ye was trying to find out his bottom line, so he quickly lied: "It was just over 20,000 last month, and it's probably better this month."

Zhang Xinzhou was almost amused. He looked at the accounts of the fruit store every day. If all the costs were put aside and there were no activities, the net profit of the store would be more than 20,000 and less than 30,000 a month, and this was when the weather got hot. If it was winter, the profit would be greatly discounted.

The business of Kangyuan Fruit Store was far inferior to that of his own store, so Luo Wenbing was bragging without thinking and was obviously talking nonsense.

"Boss Luo, you are not sincere now. We are competitors. I know very well how much profit the fruit makes, and I know how your store's business is, so I can guess how much profit you make in a month now."

"Don't beat around the bush. I don't want to hear your nonsense. What do you want to say by calling me over?"

Luo Wenbing was a little anxious.

He was eager to know what Xu Ye's purpose was.

Otherwise, he would always feel guilty.

Xu Ye drank a sip of beer slowly, then smiled and said, "Two things. The first thing is to find out whether you splashed the paint on my store door?"

"Paint? What paint?"

"Boss Luo, don't play dumb. If I don't have evidence, would I say such a thing casually? Zhang Xinzhou, show the video to Boss Luo."

Zhang Xinzhou handed the surveillance video to Luo Wenbing.

Luo Wenbing's face turned red before he finished watching it.

He slammed the table and said angrily, "What do you want to do? I tell you, I'm not scared!"

"Boss Luo, don't get excited. I've already inquired. Even if you call the police, you will be detained for five days at most. I invited you here today mainly to discuss the second thing with you."

"What is it?"

In fact, let alone five days of detention, even one day of detention, Luo Wenbing couldn't accept it.

So when Xu Ye softened his tone, he softened immediately.

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Boss Luo should know that in addition to a fruit shop, I also have a company that mainly sells vending machines. The company has much more things to do than the fruit shop. I am a little overwhelmed now, and I am also short of funds, so I want to transfer the fruit shop, but the transfer fee will be a little higher."

"Do you really want to transfer it?" Luo Wenbing stared at Xu Ye with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Zhang Xinzhou glanced at the expressions of the two people, and then he knew what Xu Ye's real purpose was. He suddenly felt fortunate that he and Xu Ye were no match.

This guy is really sinister!
