“Mrs. Zhao, I only need your husband to work for me. He’s a good manager and I need a good manager to help me,” Lisa said.
Lisa was quite honest, and Zhao Binxu only needed a supporter to help him out.
No matter in what industry, a person needed support to have a better career.
Even if Lisa was able to be so successful at such an early age, she had actually gotten a lot of help from her connections. She also needed other people’s support to reach where she was today.
Mrs. Zhao was excited when Lisa promised to give her husband a job.
Zhao Binxu was surprised when he read the news about Lisa on the Internet, and he remembered that she was his daughter’s idol, Goddess Lisa. He had heard a little about Lisa from his daughter and he had a good impression of her. If Lisa was willing to help him, his family and his life would be saved.
“Can you trust me now?” Lisa shouted to him again.
“Miss Lisa, you’re an incredible girl, and of course I’m willing to work for you. I’m coming down right now!” Zhao Binxu said with excitement, because he saw hopes.
“Great!” Lisa nodded.
Hearing that, everyone was curious. They couldn’t hear what Zhao Binxu was saying on the roof of the building, but it seemed that Lisa could. How was it possible? They couldn’t believe it.
“Mrs. Zhao, you will see your husband soon. He’s coming down,” Lisa said.
“Really? That’s wonderful.” Both Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jinghan beamed with tears in their eyes.
The next second, Zhao Binxu stood up in their sight.
Right when everyone believed that he was going to step backwards, a scary accident happened.
Someone pushed Zhao Binxu before he could turn around and walk away from the edge. He lost his balance and was pushed from the roof.
“Oh, my!” Everyone was shocked and terrified under the building.
Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jinghan were totally stunned and Mrs. Zhao almost passed out.
Why would Zhao Binxu suddenly fall from the roof? Didn’t he agree to come down?
Nobody knew what just happened, but Lisa understood that it couldn’t be an accident. Although other people couldn’t see it because the roof was far above their heads, Lisa was able to see it clearly.
Luckily, just as Zhao Binxu fell to the next floor, a hand reached out from the window and caught his hand, stopping him from falling, so he was hanging by the window.
The person who caught him was Hyuna. Because someone blocked the door to the rooftop, Hyuna listened to Lisa and didn’t intrude inside. Instead, she went to the room beneath where Zhao Binxu sat in case he jumped all of a sudden.
She was indeed very smart and brave.
There was no one else in the room, so nobody stopped her.
When the people under the building saw that Zhao Binxu was caught by hand, they felt relieved.
Hyuna was unusually strong, so it wasn’t difficult for her to pull Zhao Binxu up to the room. In the end, Zhao Binxu was rescued.
People couldn’t help but begin to applaud under the building.
Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jinghan cried again, but those who wanted him to die were anxious.
The way to the rooftop was blocked and four people waited behind Zhao Binxu. They were those who had cheated Zhao Binxu of his money. One was the chairman of Xingtong Building Materials, Wu Yunguang.
One was its manager, and the other two were secretaries.
Xingtong Building Materials wasn’t large, nor was it small; it had over a hundred million yuan in assets. Most importantly, it was Wu Yunguang’s only company, and he cared about it very much.
The other three people were aware of the real reason why Zhao Binxu wanted to commit suicide. They were Wu Yunguang’s people after all, so they wouldn’t tell anyone anything about it.
Wu Yunguang trusted them, so he told them to help him today.
In fact, Wu Yunguang didn’t want Zhao Binxu to die right here, because it would cause him trouble. However, Lisa showed up out of blue, and he knew that Lisa certainly had the ability to help Zhao Binxu. He was afraid that he would be put in jail if Lisa was involved, so he decided to push Zhao Binxu from the building. Unexpectedly, Zhao Binxu still didn’t die, and was caught by someone on the next level.
Wu Yunguang was in a panic now. He warned the other three people to keep it a secret and made up an excuse saying that it was an accident.
Wu Yunguang’s future was very important to their own benefits, so they agreed without hesitation. After that, they went down as well.
Zhao Binxu was stunned after he was rescued, because he was too scared and was even trembling in fear now. Seeing that, Hyuna didn’t force him to go downstairs right away, but told him to have a rest for a while.
Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jinghan wanted to go upstairs, but Lisa stopped them. “It’s fine, my subordinate will help him and come down with him later. If you go upstairs right now, you might be in different elevators and miss each other.”
Hearing that, Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jinghan agreed and stayed under the building.
“Miss Lisa, is the person who just caught my husband your subordinate?” Mrs. Zhao asked Lisa. She thought that she should thank the person too.
“Yes.” Lisa nodded.
Knowing that, Mrs. Zhao breathed deeply, she was amazed by Lisa’s ability again.
Not only was she so unbelievable, but her people were also incredible.
She was quite grateful to Lisa now. Even though she thought it was just an accident, she simply wanted her husband to be safe.
…
Zhao Binxu rested for a while in the room, so Wu Yunguang along with his people came.
Wu Yunguang was greatly surprised when he saw that a woman saved Zhao Binxu’s life, and he was full of anger too.
“Oh, hi, Binxu, how are you now? I’m so glad that you’re fine, but I still need to say that you can’t blame me for your own business failure. You know how risky investment is.” Wu Yunguang pretended to be innocent.
Although Wu Yunguang deceived Zhao Binxu into an investment and cheated him of his money, he didn’t have a direct relationship with the investment, so he tried to clear his name. He was selfish and evil.
Zhao Binxu clenched his teeth in anger. “Wu Yunguang, I know it’s a trap set by you and Jiang Pingyi. Don’t try to deny it! Do you think I don’t have any evidence? Let’s go and see.”
In fact, Zhao Binxu indeed had no useful evidence because the contract wasn’t real, and Wu Yunguang refused to admit it, while Jiang Pingyi was missing, but he had to stay strong at this moment.
He didn’t know why Wu Yunguang would do that to him. In the past, he had helped Wu Yunguang a lot, but Wu Yunguang returned his kindness with ingratitude.
Zhao Binxu trusted Lisa, and believed that it wouldn’t be hard for her to put Wu Yunguang in jail. So since Lisa promised to help him, he was willing to be patient.
Wu Yunguang squinted his eyes at Zhao Binxu.
“Don’t say that. You don’t have any solid proof to prove that I’m guilty. It’s ridiculous!” Wu Yunguang said.
“We’ll see!” Zhao Binxu felt disgusted and turned his head away, then he thanked Hyuna with sincerity. “Miss, I honestly don’t know how to thank you. If it hadn’t been for you, I would have fallen from the roof.” Saying that, Zhao Binxu still felt a little scared.
“You don’t need to thank me, thank my boss, Lisa,” Hyuna said. She only did that because it was Lisa’s order. Therefore, without Lisa’s order, Zhao Binxu would be dead now.
“Do you work for Gu Lisa?” Zhao Binxu was surprised.
“Yes.” Hyuna nodded.
Wu Yunguang was also astonished and hated Lisa more than ever. In his eyes, Lisa ruined his plan.
“Well.” Zhao Binxu suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
“Miss, can you help me get back to my feet? I’m out of strength right now.”
Hyuna was a woman after all, so Zhao Binxu was afraid that she might be displeased, but he indeed couldn’t move now. He didn’t want to stay here any longer, in case Wu Yunguang hurt him again.
“No problem,” Hyuna said. She didn’t mind it at all.
“Wait a second!” Right when Hyuna was about to leave with Zhao Binxu, Wu Yunguang stopped them.
“What?” Hyuna gave him an angry glance.
Wu Yunguang felt stressed at once, and didn’t know what to say all of a sudden. He had a feeling that he was no match for this woman.
“N-Nothing.” Wu Yunguang gave up right away.
Hyuna sneered and walked away with Zhao Binxu.
Wu Yunguang was unwilling to let them go, but he could do nothing about it now. Actually, even if they stayed, Wu Yunguang didn’t dare to hurt them.
He only tried to stop them because he was furious now, and he wanted to vent his anger on Hyuna because she broke into this room without his permission.
The top floor of this office building was owned by Wu Yunguang. In addition to his company, there were seven other medium-sized enterprises in it.
Wu Yunguang watched Hyuna and Zhao Binxu walk out of his sight, then sank down on the sofa behind him.
Wu Yunguang’s people in the room were also scared, and didn’t dare to make any sounds.
Once Hyuna and Zhao Binxu were gone, the manager told the two secretaries to leave and closed the door.
“Boss, what should we do now?” the manager asked. He was worried right now, because he was present when they signed the fake contract.
“Just pretend that you know nothing about it and leave the other things to me. As long as we blame Jiang Pingyi for everything, we’ll be fine,” Wu Yunguang said.
“Sure.” The manager agreed.
At this time, the fire brigade came. Although they seemed late, they actually arrived in five minutes. The capital was quite large, and there weren’t fire brigades everywhere after all, so it wasn’t their fault. Lisa simply took action faster than them, and had already rescued Zhao Binxu before they came.
Even though Zhao Binxu was safe now, onlookers still stood under the building, waiting to see him.
Therefore, those firefighters didn’t think that they were fooled, and instead felt relieved that the man who wanted to jump from the building was already rescued.
Since they came, they needed to find out more details about it.
Lisa saw them and walked towards them at once. “Hi, very nice to see you. The man who wanted to commit suicide has already been rescued. He’ll be out in a minute. Thank you so much for your work.”
“Great, that’s all we want to hear, we can leave now.” The leader of the fire brigade smiled. They came to rescue people, and didn’t care about the reason why the man wanted to jump from the building.
Shortly after the fire brigade left, Hyuna walked out with Zhao Binxu. Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jinghan ran to him at once, then hugged him while crying.
Hyuna returned to Lisa’s side as well.
“Darling, why did you do that! What if you became disabled or died? What should we do without you?”
“Dad! Dad, don’t do that again, please.”
“…”
They cried loudly and felt lucky that they could see each other again.
The onlookers all felt touched and some even wiped their eyes.
“I won’t, I won’t do that again.” Zhao Binxu comforted his wife and daughter. He felt guilty and blamed himself for his stupid actions.
“Miss Lisa, thank you, thank you so much for what you’ve done for our family.” They turned to Lisa and thanked her once more.
At this time, the police came.
Lisa explained the situation to the police, and the police left after knowing that everything was fine now. Since no one was hurt, there was no need for the police to stay.
If Lisa or Zhao Binxu need the police’s help, they would go to the police station themselves.
“Alright, we should leave now too,” Lisa said.
“Sure.” Zhao Binxu nodded.
After that, Zhao Binxu’s family left with Lisa.
Lisa told Zhao Binxu to sit in the front passenger’s seat, while the four females sat in the rear seats. Luckily, it was an off-road vehicle, and the space was enough to accommodate the four of them.
“Hyojong, let’s go to the Huangdeng Hotel for now,” Lisa said. She didn’t ask for Zhao Binxu’s opinion, because she knew that he would agree with her.
For now, he listened to Lisa without any conditions.
“Sure,” Hyojong said.
“Mr. Zhao, did someone push you just then?” Lisa asked all of a sudden.
Hearing that, Zhao Binxu realized that he didn’t fall by accident, because someone had indeed pushed him from behind.
“What? Someone pushed you?” Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Jinghan rounded their eyes in shock, because they thought it was just an accident.
“You’re right. Someone did push me just then, but I don’t know who did it, because there were four people at the rooftop,” Zhao Binxu said.
Lisa nodded, then took out her phone to call K. She told him to check the surveillance cameras around the office building.
“Mr. Zhao, could you please tell me what happened?” Lisa asked Zhao Binxu after finishing the call with K.
“Well, the thing is…” Zhao Binxu told Lisa the story.
It turned out that Zhao Binxu and the owner of Xingtong Building Materials, Wu Yunguang, were schoolmates in college, and they had a good relationship with each other. Both of them started a company after their graduation, but Zhao Binxu was luckier than Wu Yunguang and made more money than him as well.
Although there were countless rich people in the capital, Wu Yunguang was still jealous of Zhao Binxu. However, because Zhao Binxu thought of Wu Yunguang as his friend, he never hesitated to help him when Wu Yunguang needed his help.
After several years, Zhao Binxu’s company had over five hundred million yuan in assets, while Wu Yunguang’s had over a hundred million yuan in assets too. Unfortunately, Zhao Binxu went bankrupt two years ago.
Lisa was aware of his bankruptcy and felt a little guilty when Zhao Binxu mentioned it.
Zhao Binxu sold his company afterwards, and only had a house and a car now
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.
Lisa had sympathy for Zhao Binxu, because she knew how greedy some people could be.
Although Zhao Binxu was a skilled businessman with good character, Lisa still needed to investigate it.
“When did you sign the contract?” Lisa asked.
“June 12th at 6:30 PM, Room 303, XX hotel,” Zhao Binxu said.
“Who was there?” Lisa 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?” Lisa 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.
Lisa could understand it.
“How did Wu Yunguang respond to it?” Lisa 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.
Lisa still needed K’s help this time.
“How much do you know about Jiang Pingyi?” Lisa 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,” Lisa said.
Zhao Binxu took out his phone right away and told Lisa the needed information.
Without delay, Lisa sent K a massage and told him to help her find Jiang Pingyi.
“I’ll do my best to help you get enough evidence,” Lisa said.
“Thank you, Miss Lisa,” Zhao Binxu thanked her with sincerity. “Oh, may I know why you want to help me, Miss Lisa?”
He thought that Lisa 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 Lisa.
“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,” Lisa 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?” Lisa 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, Lisa would use another way to compensate him.
Zhao Binxu agreed to work for Lisa to return her favor. Lisa had saved his life after all, so he definitely wouldn’t betray her. Lisa would also pay him for his work so that his family could live a decent life.
Zhao Binxu wasn’t worried about his salary.
“I have the intention to hire you, but it still depends on you whether you can do the job well. I hate dirty tricks, so you must be honest and upright.”
“Even if we’re going to compete against our business enemies, we shouldn’t break the law and common moral standards. You can settle your debts once I successfully help you get your money back, so you don’t need to work for me for free. I’ll pay you according to your performance,” Lisa said.
Zhao Binxu was grateful to her, but she wouldn’t take advantage of him.
“Miss Lisa, I…” Zhao Binxu was touched and didn’t know what to say now. At this moment, he was willing to do anything for Lisa. However, he felt it was too good to be true.
“If you’re willing to work for me, it’ll be best. If not, I won’t force you to. Once you become one of my subordinates, you should listen to my orders,” Lisa said.
“Miss Lisa, of course I’m willing to work for you, and I won’t disappoint you,” Zhao Binxu said at once.
“Great.” Lisa nodded.
On their way, Zhao Jinghan kept glancing at Lisa with admiration and curiosity. She always dreamed to see her Goddess Lisa one day, but she was surprised that her dream became reality because of her father. In that case, she could have a closer relationship with Lisa.
Zhao Jinghan felt nervous in front of Lisa, because she was Lisa’s fan. Lisa was her idol and she looked up to her.
Lisa felt Zhao Jinghan’s admiring gaze, but she didn’t give her any response.
Zhao Jinghan was simply glancing at her, but didn’t ask her anything. Although Zhao Jinghan wanted to talk with Lisa, she didn’t have courage.
When they arrived at the Huangdeng Hotel, Lisa directly took out her Black Card so that everything would be free for them.
Zhao Binxu was surprised once he saw the Black Card. If Lisa had a Black Card of the Huangdeng Hotel, it meant that she had an unusual relationship with the Tang family.
It was shocking news to him. He only knew that she had many companies under her name, but knew nothing about her family background.
Actually, Zhao Binxu planned to pay the bill later, but it seemed unnecessary now. Since Lisa had a Black Card, they could have a free meal.
The receptionist showed great respect to them and led them the way to a private room. However, Zhao Binxu saw a familiar face halfway.
It was a young man who was in his late twenties, and he behaved like a hoodlum. “Oh, isn’t this Mr. Zhao? What a surprise that you can afford a meal in such a luxurious hotel now!”
Hearing that, Zhao Binxu showed embarrassment on his face and felt displeased too.
“Hi, Lord Long,” he greeted the man.
“Hey, tell me, how can you afford a meal here?” Lord Long was unwilling to let Zhao Binxu pass.
Zhao Binxu was annoyed. “Lord Long, even though I’m not rich now, I can still afford a meal in a five-star hotel.”
Although Lisa already settled the bill with her Black Card, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t afford a meal in a five-star hotel by himself.
The waiter tried to mediate between them, but was stopped by Lisa, because she wanted to see what Lord Long wanted to do.
Zhao Binxu’s attitude annoyed Lord Long as well.
“Mind your attitude! It’s your honor that I’m willing to talk to you now. Don’t forget your manners, or you’ll lose your tiny little restaurant.” Lord Long was quite arrogant and aggressive.
“You…” Zhao Binxu was angry, but didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Lisa opened her mouth. “Try it if you want.” Lisa didn’t know Lord Long’s influence in this city, but she wasn’t afraid of him at all.
Hearing Lisa’s voice, Lord Long turned to look at her and his eyes lit up the second he saw her extraordinary appearance.
“What’s your name?” Lord Long leered at Lisa.
It was obvious that Lord Long had ulterior motives.
“Gu Lisa.” Lisa didn’t bother to hide it.
“Miss Lisa, nice to meet you today. Why don’t we share a meal together?” Lord Long asked.
“No.” Lisa refused him in a cold voice.
Hearing that, Lord Long felt humiliated and changed his expression. “What did you say?”
“I said no.” Lisa sneered with disdain. “Who are you? Why should I share a meal with you?”
“Who am I? I’m the heir of the Glory Organization!” Lord Long looked super proud of himself. He believed that there weren’t rich or powerful people in Zhao Binxu’s circle, so he was confident that Lisa didn’t dare to turn him down again.
Lisa was familiar with every business group in the capital, so she had heard of the Glory Organization.
The Glory Organization had over a billion yuan in assets, which was only a small business group in the capital.
However, in Zhao Binxu’s eyes, there was a huge gap between them. That was the reason why he didn’t dare to argue against Lord Long.
Lisa, on the contrary, didn’t think it was a big deal. She wasn’t snobbish, but she hated arrogant people. Therefore, Lisa sneered, “So? I thought you would scare me. The Glory Organization is only a small business group in this city. How dare you be so arrogant and aggressive?”
Lord Long was struck dumb for a second, then squinted at Lisa for a while. He thought that Lisa might be more influential than him. “Who are you?” he asked cautiously.
Even though Lord Long was arrogant, he wasn’t stupid. He only dared to embarrass Zhao Binxu because he knew that Zhao Binxu wasn’t rich or powerful. Moreover, he struck up a conversation with Lisa simply because she was stunning.
“I told you that my name is Gu Lisa; you can search my name on the Internet if you want to know who I am,” Lisa said with impatience, then left with her people.
Lord Long didn’t dare to stop them at this moment, and took out his phone at once. After reading the news about Lisa, he was totally shocked.
Gu Lisa was only 19, but she already owned many profitable companies. She was also the top scorer of the National College Entrance Examination this year, which was still one of the hottest topics on Weibo. She was a kung fu master too!
Lord Long felt scared in retrospect. The next second, he became curious about her relationship with Zhao Binxu.
Anyway, since Lisa was willing to defend Zhao Binxu, it meant that their relationship wasn’t ordinary. They could be relatives. In that case, he couldn’t make fun of Zhao Binxu anymore.
With Lisa’s help, it would be very easy for Zhao Binxu to become rich again.
Actually, Lord Long didn’t have any grudge against Zhao Binxu, they simply had a few disagreements, so he had never really hurt Zhao Binxu.
Lord Long calmed himself down, then directly ran back to his private room.
In the private room, two men and two women were sitting around a table, and they were all Lord Long’s friends. They were confused when Lord Long ran back in panic.
“What’s wrong?”
“Didn’t you leave to pick up Dong Ge? Why are you suddenly back?”
“You look terrified.”
“Oh, I totally forgot.” Lord Long realized that he forgot to pick up Dong Ge just then. “It’s not important, but I almost offended an important figure just then.”
“What? Who?” His friends were scared and immediately asked with concern, “Are you alright?”
“A girl named Gu Lisa. I’m fine now,” Lord Long said.
“Gu Lisa? Who’s Gu Lisa?”
“A girl named Gu Lisa? Is she the founder of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi?”
Lord Long’s friends began to talk about Lisa and one of the women was familiar with Lisa. She was a loyal customer of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, and almost every one of her female friends were using them. Women were the target customers of skincare and make-up products after all.
In addition, both Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi were quite famous now.
The other men didn’t know who the founder of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi was, but they had also heard of the two brands.
“The founder of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi is a girl?”
“Right!” Lord Long said in fear.
“Wow, I can’t believe it.”
“She’s much richer than us if she’s really the founder of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi.”
Although men weren’t the target customers of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, they knew that they were very profitable.
“She isn’t only rich, but also has powerful connections. I also heard that she has a close relationship with Master Tang in City B,” said the woman who was familiar with Lisa.
Wealth didn’t mean everything, because power and connections were even more influential than wealth in some situations.
If a successful businessman only had money but didn’t know any powerful people in politics, it wasn’t likely that his business would be thriving for long. Money could buy many things, but it needed protection from power.
Although senior officials in the government normally weren’t rich, they could easily deprive rich people of their wealth. Moreover, business couldn’t survive without the government. Therefore, the majority of businessmen ached to have support from the senior officials in the government. As long as they had help from the government, it would be much easier for them to run their businesses.
The Tang family in City B, however, was the most dominant family in both business and politics.
“What? The Tang family in City B?”
“I don’t know many details about it, but she is indeed very influential.”
Without delay, they took out their phones to search for information about Lisa on the Internet.
“Oh, Ying, why don’t you go to pick up Dong Ge now? I’m too shocked to move right now,” Lord Long said all of a sudden. He thought that he couldn’t drive right now.
“Sure.” Ying nodded and left.
The others stayed in the room, watching the release conference of Jade Beauty Jewelry. After watching it, they were stunned and didn’t know what to say.
They also learned about Lisa’s other companies, and were very sure that they shouldn’t mess with her.
…
Lisa asked Zhao Binxu after they finished ordering, “Uncle Zhao, do you have any grudges against the man called Lord Long.”
She needed to know more details about it so that she could help Zhao Binxu if he needed her help.
“Nothing serious, we’ve just had a few arguments,” Zhao Binxu said. “He’s always like that, arrogant and aggressive in front of those who are poorer than him, but I don’t think he will dare to cause us trouble again after knowing who you are.”
Lisa nodded, then began to talk about business with Zhao Binxu.
“Since you’re willing to work for me, I should be honest with you. I have a real estate company under my name, and it’s in City F, Province D. The company has shopping malls, five-star hotels, five-star restaurants, and so on. Anyway, they’re worth about seven billion yuan in all,” Lisa said.
Hearing that, Zhao Binxu’s family was shocked. Zhao Binxu couldn’t believe that Lisa was even much richer than he thought.
Lisa continued, “My real estate company is Shenghua Real Estate. Its headquarters is located in City F for the time being, but it’ll be moved to the capital in the future. The executive is An Jinhee, so he’ll be your supervisor.”
No matter how experienced Zhao Binxu was, he couldn’t replace Jinhee.
Zhao Binxu was surprised again when he heard that it was Shenghua Real Estate, because he had heard of it before. Zhao Binxu was involved in the real estate industry as well, so he was quite familiar with the leading companies in the industry around the country.
He had heard of Shenghua Real Estate, but didn’t know much about it. All he knew about it was that Shenghua Real Estate had successfully gotten a piece of haunted land in City B last year.
Other land developers had suffered strange things there, but everything went back to normal after Shenghua Real Estate took it.
It was very surprising, so he paid a lot of attention to the news.
To his astonishment, Lisa was the owner of Shenghua Real Estate.
If he hadn’t heard of the strange things that had happened at the haunted land before, he would have believed that it was simply a trick played by Shenghua Real Estate in order to get the piece of land.
“I plan to build two five-star hotels in the capital, and I’ve chosen two good places for them. We can start construction after I buy them. However, because Shenghua Real Estate is in City F, and there are several ongoing construction sites, we need to hire more people in the capital.”
“You will be the general manager for Shenghua Real Estate in the capital, so you’ll be in charge of recruitment and business deals. I will of course arrange for some people to help you and you’ll take part in some business events with me too, which can help you expand your circle,” Lisa said.
Lisa understood that Zhao Binxu had his own circle, but he needed to expand it. Zhao Binxu wasn’t the owner of his previous small real estate company anymore, and he would become the general manager of Shenghua Real Estate in the capital.
Since Zhao Binxu was working for her, she would do everything she could to help him grow.
Although the Shengning Organization wasn’t established yet, many people in the industry were aware that Lisa was the owner of Fenghua Entertainment, Jade Beauty Jewelry, and Colaine.
Once the construction and decoration of the office buildings of the Shengning Organization were done, it would be officially established. They didn’t need to wait for long, so a month was enough.
Zhao Binxu was surprised that Lisa would let him be the general manager for Shenghua Real Estate in the capital.
Lisa ignored his astonishment and added, “Let’s be candid here, although a real estate company with dozens of billions of yuan in assets isn’t large, it isn’t small either, so you should know it’s not an easy job.”
Hearing that, Zhao Binxu put on a serious expression at once. “Miss Lisa, I understand, and I’ll do my best.” He knew that it would be stressful, but he was willing to accept this challenge.
Lisa then gave Zhao Binxu her name card. “Come to the headquarters of my business group at 10 am tomorrow to sign the contract. You can call me when you arrive there, and I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up.”
“Sure.” Zhao Binxu agreed.
After a while, the dishes were all placed on the table, and they began to enjoy it.
Zhao Binxu’s life had a new chapter, but Wu Yunguang was in a bad mood now. He didn’t talk about it with Jiang Pingyi, because he already decided to let Jiang Pingyi shoulder the blame. However, he was still anxious before it was settled.
He had the idea to attack Lisa first so that she wouldn’t have time to help Zhao Binxu, but he didn’t dare to take action after finding out about her achievements. Lisa was much richer and more influential than him!
He also wanted to kill Zhao Binxu, but Lisa wouldn’t let him get away with it if he really did that. Zhao Binxu worked for Lisa now, so she would protect him.
There was nothing he could do now, so he was quite worried.
He wondered if he should return the money to Zhao Binxu and hope that Zhao Binxu would forgive him, but he was reluctant to do that. He was unwilling to take money out of his pocket right now. Besides, Jiang Pingyi had already shared the money with him, so he would suffer a loss if he needed to return Zhao Binxu’s money.
Thinking of that, Wu Yunguang felt cornered. He regretted cheating Zhao Binxu now.
…
Lisa drove Zhao Binxu’s family home after the meal.
Zhao Binxu didn’t think it was appropriate because he was only Lisa’s subordinate. However, Lisa insisted on it, so Zhao Binxu agreed.
After that, Lisa went back to her own home.
When Lisa was gone, Mrs. Zhao said, “Miss Lisa is our family’s lifesaver!”
“You’re right, and I must work hard to return her favor,” Zhao Binxu said.
It wasn’t easy for him to get a good job now, but Lisa offered him a promising job.
“Darling, I know that you’ll be very busy once you report for duty. I will take care of our daughter and our family and make sure that you can focus on your job,” Mrs. Zhao said. She supported her husband without any conditions.
In fact, Zhao Binxu was always busy during these past few years, but Mrs. Zhao understood and never complained about it. She used to have a good job, but quit to take care of their family.
Even though Zhao Binxu went bankrupt, she didn’t leave him and still assisted him in running their small restaurant.
Zhao Binxu and Mrs. Zhao understood each other very well, and they seldom argued with one another, which wasn’t common. After all, more and more people were becoming selfish and self-centered in today’s society.
“I will.” Zhao Binxu made a promise.
…
Hyuna asked Lisa with curiosity, “Boss, why do you trust him so much?”
Although it wasn’t the first time Lisa had done something like this, she still didn’t understand why Lisa would do it.
“Zhao Binxu isn’t a top manager, but he’s very experienced and upright. To be honest, I helped him mainly because of my master. My master told me that she did some bad deeds before and always felt guilty, so she hoped that I could give those victims a helping hand if they need help. I’m doing that for her,” Lisa said.
Hyojong and Hyuna knew that Lisa’s master was Tang Lalisa, and Tang Lalisa was a professional killer, so it was quite normal that many people had been hurt by her. Therefore, Hyojong and Hyuna understood why Lisa was helpful.
…
Outside Shengning Tower, Chanhyuk waited till 7 pm, but Lisa was still absent. He thought that Lisa might have taken another car again, so he missed her once more. However, Chanhyuk couldn’t figure out why Lisa changed her car all the time.
He didn’t think that Lisa had already noticed that he was following her, because he always kept his distance from her.
Since Lisa could be gone already, there was no need for him to keep on waiting here, so he directly drove to Century City later.
Chanhyuk booked a room at a hotel which was opposite the gate of Century City, so he could stay near Century City at night.
Lisa, however, didn’t go back to Century City, and instead went to the haunted construction site.
It was still early, and the sky wasn’t completely dark, but she spent a lot of time on the road, so it was 8:20 pm when she finally arrived there. Within ten minutes, the sky was totally dark.
At night, there were no lights, so the Yin in the construction site made it look scarier.
It was located by a crossroads, and there were main roads around it, but the street lights weren’t bright enough to fully light it. As a result, the construction site was mostly covered by darkness.
There wasn’t much traffic on the main roads, but Lisa was worried that she might be caught by passers-by. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lisa, Hyojong and Hyuna got out of the car and went to the construction site on foot.
Not many people dared to walk near this construction site because the people who lived nearby were all aware that it was an unlucky place. Even if some had to walk by it, they normally ran fast.
There was a sidewalk by the construction site, but few people dared to walk on it, because the trees along it had dense leaves which blocked the light from lighting the path and made it look quite frightening.
Nevertheless, at this time, a boy and a girl were quarreling on the sidewalk not far from the construction site. They quarreled because they had to walk by this sidewalk near the construction site, but the girl was too scared so she wanted to take a taxi or another road. However, the place where they lived was right behind this construction site, and they would be home after the zebra crossing. It would be a waste of money and time if they took a taxi or took another longer road.
In addition, the boy didn’t believe in monsters and ghosts at all, so he didn’t think that it was a big deal and thought that the girl was being dramatic.
Lisa didn’t bother to pay attention to them, and directly walked by them with Hyojong and Hyuna.
Seeing that, the boy criticized the girl. “See? They just walked by us and they’re fine. Don’t be so dramatic. It’s not easy for me to come here to meet you.”
“I don’t care about other people, I only know that I’m scared of it, so I don’t want to walk there! We can take a taxi, or break up!” The girl was annoyed.
“Break up?” The boy was struck dumb for a second, but wasn’t surprised. “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m sure,” the girl said, and it sounded as if she was confident that the boy wouldn’t dare to break up with her.
“Who do you think you are? Do you really believe that I won’t dare to break up with you? To be honest with you, I have already had enough of you! Let’s break up now!” The boy was angry and turned around without hesitation, then walked forward alone.
“You…” The girl was anxious when the boy really agreed to break up with her. She refused to accept it, and just stood there waiting for him to come back to her.
Lisa, Hyojong and Hyuna had almost reached the gate, but they couldn’t climb over it right now because someone was walking towards them from behind. They walked slowly, but the boy walked quickly because of his anger, so he soon passed them.
After the boy passed them, there was no one behind them. They looked around for a while, then climbed over the gate without anyone noticing them.
At this time, the Yin already came out from the grave pit, and took the shape of a man who was about 30.
Because it was a ghost, its face was abnormally pale. It stood in the grave pit, and couldn’t go anywhere, so it looked quite angry. It couldn’t go anywhere, nor could it do anything now, but it still needed to deal with many things.
Lisa wasn’t surprised to see the male ghost, and she knew that it must be a ghost of a high level since it could change its shape.
In that case, Hyojong and Hyuna couldn’t go near it, in case they were affected. Therefore, before they walked inside, Lisa told Hyojong and Hyuna to stay away from the male ghost.
She was able to deal with it alone.
The second Lisa, Hyojong and Hyuna walked into the construction site, the male ghost saw them. It became restless at once, because Lisa had magical power with her, which was exactly it wanted most. However, it remembered that it had failed to enter her body today and felt furious again. It was scared of Lisa, but also ached to rob her of her magical power.
Therefore, it fixed its eyes on Lisa.
Lisa’s sight didn’t fall on the male ghost, so the male ghost wasn’t sure whether Lisa could see it. However, since Lisa had magical power with her, it meant that she wasn’t an ordinary mortal.
The male ghost stayed alert and didn’t dare to take action right away.
Lisa stopped before the grave pit, then looked to the male ghost.
The male ghost realized that she could see it once it met Lisa’s eyes. “Who are you?” Its voice was hoarse and deep, but sounded quite scary.
“A businesswoman,” Lisa said.
The male ghost didn’t believe it, and said in great anger, “Don’t fool me!”
“It’s the truth. I’m indeed a businesswoman, but I’m not an ordinary mortal. I like this place, and I plan to buy this piece of land, but strange things are constantly happening here because of you. I think I should deal with you first,” Lisa said slowly.
Hyojong and Hyuna stood seven meters away from Lisa. They could hear her, but couldn’t see the male ghost.
Because Lisa already told them that ghosts and monsters really existed in this world, they were mentally prepared, although they still felt a little scared. They had never seen a ghost in real life after all. However, they believed that everything would be fine as long as Lisa was here.
“How?” The male ghost was displeased. It was obvious that Lisa planned to remove it, because the construction could be started again after it was removed. Therefore, Lisa wasn’t its friend.
“It depends on whether you can give up your obsession and get into the next incarnation, otherwise I’ll directly destroy you,” Lisa said in a serious tone.
Nevertheless, the male ghost thought that Lisa was challenging it and got angry once more. “Destroy me? Can you?”
It totally didn’t believe it, because Lisa was simply a mortal in its eyes, even though she wasn’t an ordinary mortal.
“I won’t do it in person, but I’m confident that I have the ability to,” Lisa said. She had the flood dragon after all, and no ghost was comparable to the flood dragon. In addition, she also had her telepathic eye space, and the male ghost couldn’t do anything about it.
Her telepathic eye space could imprison the male ghost, and the magical power in it could help the male ghost get rid of his hatred, but it would take a long time.
Lisa didn’t have much patience and kindness for evil ghosts, and she preferred to quickly destroy it, in case it caused innocent people more trouble.
“If I could easily give up my obsession, I wouldn’t be a ghost,” the male ghost said.
That was right. It wasn’t easy to give up one’s obsession at all. If it was possible, it didn’t want to have an obsession, because it was lonely being a ghost.
“Well, actually I can help you,” Lisa said. She knew that this male ghost must have been through a lot of unpleasant things.
“Who do you think you are?” the male ghost said arrogantly. It didn’t think that Lisa was able to help it.
