After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.
Chapter 124 Hypocrisy
The more she acted like this, the more uncertain the rich second-generation felt.
"What exactly happened? Explain yourself!"
The rich kid's tone became stern.
Zhao Rou continued to evade the question, refusing to give a direct answer.
The rich kid finally realized he'd been scammed!
His face turned ashen, and he pointed at Zhao Rou's nose, cursing...
"Oh, you actually dared to lie to me! What do you take me for?!"
Zhao Rou wanted to explain, but the rich second-generation heir wouldn't listen.
He glared at Chen Ming fiercely and said, "You just wait!"
Then he left the internet cafe without looking back.
Zhao Rou was so anxious that she stamped her feet and hurriedly chased after him, calling out as she went.
"Dear, please listen to my explanation..."
Chen Ming watched the two figures disappear into the distance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This is truly a case of karma coming full circle; no one escapes the judgment of Heaven!
Watching their disheveled departure, Chen Ming sneered inwardly.
Just as Chen Ming's career was flourishing, the phone rang suddenly. Chen Ming answered it and heard the person on the other end say...
"Hello, is this Chen Ming?"
A rough male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I am, who are you?"
"I am the owner of Feilong Internet Cafe, and my surname is Zhao."
The other party got straight to the point, saying, "I heard you're looking to expand your internet cafe business. Are you interested in partnering with us?"
Chen Ming was taken aback. Feilong Internet Cafe was the largest chain internet cafe in the city, with strong financial backing.
He didn't expect the other party to contact him first.
"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Ming asked cautiously.
"It's simple, I'll buy your internet cafe and give you a good price."
Mr. Zhao's tone was arrogant, "This way you won't have to bother with expansion."
Chen Ming sensed the disdain in the other person's words and felt somewhat annoyed.
But he didn't show it; instead, he calmly asked...
"Mr. Zhao, my internet cafe is doing very well right now, why should I sell it to you?"
"Kid, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble!" Boss Zhao's tone suddenly became tough.
"I'm only talking to you politely because I'm giving you face. If you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Ming sneered: "Boss Zhao, threatening me? Who do you think I am?"
"I don't care who you are, you'd better sell me the internet cafe obediently!"
Boss Zhao said fiercely, "Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.
Chen Ming put down his phone, his face grim.
He never expected to be threatened in such a blatant way.
"It seems that Boss Zhao is taking me for a fool."
A cold glint flashed in Chen Ming's eyes. "Since he wants to play, then I'll play along!"
After being reborn, he wanted to develop his career peacefully, but he never expected to encounter such a thug-like threat.
"Zhao Feilong, Feilong Internet Cafe..."
Chen Ming murmured the name, quickly searching his mind for information about the person.
In his previous life, he vaguely remembered that Feilong Internet Cafe later developed into a huge chain enterprise that almost monopolized the internet cafe market in the entire city.
This Zhao Feilong is notorious for his connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and his ruthless methods have earned him considerable notoriety within the industry.
"Damn it, it seems this guy wants to nip me in the bud before I become too big."
Chen Ming gritted his teeth, a cold glint in his eyes.
He was no lamb to the slaughter; since Zhao Feilong wanted to play, he would play along to the end.
Chen Ming took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Now is not the time to confront Zhao Feilong head-on.
He needs time to develop and strengthen his economic power.
"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Chen Ming picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, help me look up someone, Zhao Feilong, the owner of Feilong Internet Cafe..."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ming began to think about how to deal with the situation. Zhao Feilong's threat was definitely not just empty talk.
If I don't respond, the other party is likely to take further action.
"Instead of passively taking a beating, it's better to take the initiative." Chen Ming's lips curled into a cold smile.
He decided to strike first and give Zhao Feilong a warning.
The next morning, Chen Ming went to a law firm.
He wants to ask how he should respond if the other party resorts to illegal means.
"Mr. Chen, based on your description, the other party has committed a threat and intimidation."
The lawyer adjusted his glasses and said seriously.
“We can collect evidence, report the case to the police, or file a civil lawsuit directly.”
"Report a crime? File a lawsuit?" Chen Ming shook his head. "That's too slow, and the results aren't necessarily good."
The lawyer glanced at him with some surprise.
"So what do you want to do?"
Chen Ming smiled, clearly having already made up his mind.
"I need to find his weaknesses so that I can create opportunities for myself."
Over the next few days, Chen Ming began to secretly investigate the operation of Feilong Internet Cafe.
He discovered that although Feilong Internet Cafe was large in scale, it was poorly managed and had many violations.
For example, operating beyond permitted hours, exploiting employees, etc.
Having obtained this information, Chen Ming began to take action.
He anonymously reported Feilong Internet Cafe's illegal activities to the relevant authorities.
At the same time, he contacted some media outlets and exposed this information.
Feilong Internet Cafe became the target of public criticism and was investigated by relevant departments and exposed by the media.
Zhao Feilong was overwhelmed with problems and had no time to pay attention to Chen Ming.
"Kid, you're ruthless!"
Zhao Feilong gritted his teeth and dialed Chen Ming's number.
"You just wait, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"
Chen Ming sneered: "Boss Zhao, I'm ready to serve you anytime."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ming was in a very good mood.
He successfully used public opinion and legal means to deal a heavy blow to Zhao Feilong.
But this was just the beginning. Chen Ming knew that Zhao Feilong wouldn't let it go so easily.
A few days later, Chen Ming's new internet cafe business model was unveiled.
To attract customers, he launched various promotional activities, such as gifts for recharges and half-price overnight stays.
On its opening day, the internet cafe was packed with people and business was booming.
Chen Ming stood at the door, watching the endless stream of customers, a satisfied smile on his face.
However, at that moment, a group of burly men in black suits suddenly burst into the internet cafe, shouting menacingly, "Who is Chen Ming? Come out here!"
The customers in the internet cafe were startled by the sudden turn of events and quickly moved to the side.
Chen Ming's face darkened; it seemed Zhao Feilong had finally made his move.
Chen Ming sneered and slowly walked out of the crowd, hands in his pockets, expression nonchalant. "I am Chen Ming. What brings you here?"
The burly man at the head of the group had a face full of scars and a thick gold chain around his neck; he was clearly not a good guy.
He glared fiercely at Chen Ming and spat.
"You've got guts, kid, daring to go against Brother Long!"
