Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Although Dean Zuo Silan is a woman, she has an indomitable spirit.

Ryan's comment about "yellow-skinned monkeys" completely enraged her, and despite Alice's attempts to persuade her to stay, she insisted on moving out of Warburg Manor.

Although being able to live in Warburg Manor is a symbol of status and prestige.

But as the dean of the School of Economics at Shanghai University, she never cared about empty titles or status.

He was only willing to live in the manor because of Alice.

Since the host doesn't welcome them, they don't lack the money to stay in a hotel.

Zuo Silan led Meng Chuan and his group to move into a luxury hotel in central London.

Alice made all the arrangements to ensure their comfort.

After settling in, Alice hurried back to the manor to report the matter to her uncle, Ollie.

However, when she stepped into the manor hall, Ollie was coldly reprimanding Ryan.

Ollie had already learned the whole story, especially Ryan's unauthorized actions and attempt to intercept Meng Chuan, which infuriated him.

"Ryan, I warned you long ago not to act rashly!"

Ollie's voice was icy cold, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger:

“You’re leaving absolutely no room for maneuver. Do you know how Meng Chuan will feel about this? He’ll think that the Warberg family is stabbing him in the back!”

Ryan raised his head defiantly and argued:

“Uncle, I just want to secure more benefits for the family! Meng Chuan is just an outsider, why should we pay so much attention to him? Besides, I will find a way to make up for the losses this time…”

"Make amends? What will you use to make amends?"

Ollie interrupted him without hesitation, looking at Ryan with some disappointment:

"You lack even the most basic judgment, yet you dare to talk about making amends? From this moment on, you are relieved of all your duties and confined to your quarters for a month to reflect on your actions!"

Ryan's face turned deathly pale instantly, his fists clenched tightly, and his hatred for Meng Chuan deepened even further.

He couldn't understand why Ollie would value an outsider so much, even to the point of punishing himself, a member of his own family.

Ollie waved his hand, signaling Ryan to step back.

Ryan gritted his teeth, turned and left, his back looking particularly lonely.

After Ryan left, Ollie turned to Alice, his tone softening somewhat:

"Alice, go and invite Meng Chuan to the manor. I need to explain things to him in person."

Alice nodded and immediately headed to the hotel.

However, when she relayed Ollie's invitation to Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan shook his head, his tone indifferent:

"I'm sorry, Alice, I'm not in the mood to see Mr. Ollie right now. Please tell him that I'm very disappointed with what happened."

Alice didn't know what Meng Chuan was referring to as "something," but she tried to explain:

“Meng Chuan, this was truly Ryan’s personal action; your uncle was unaware of it. He hopes you can understand and is willing to apologize to you personally.”

Meng Chuan smiled, a hint of sarcasm in his smile:

"Whether it was a personal act or not is no longer important. What is important is that I almost got myself into a desperate situation because of this. Alice, please tell Mr. Ollie that I need some time to calm down."

Alice had no choice but to take Meng Chuan's words back to the manor.

After hearing this, Ollie frowned, clearly finding Meng Chuan's attitude troublesome.

He knew that this incident had indeed caused Meng Chuan to misunderstand the Warburg family.

The next day, Meng Chuan stopped pretending to be sick and instead spent the day sightseeing with Dean Zuo Silan, Jiang Zhenyu, and others.

The scenery of London allowed them to temporarily forget their previous conflicts, and everyone's mood lightened considerably.

In the evening, Meng Chuan and his group arrived at the airport, ready to board a flight back to Shanghai.

However, while they were waiting to board the plane, Alice suddenly received a phone call and then whispered a few words in Meng Chuan's ear.

Meng Chuan nodded and followed Alice to a VIP waiting room at the airport.

Ollie was sitting in the waiting room when he saw Meng Chuan enter. He smiled slightly and waved for Alice to leave.

"There aren't many people I'd personally come to see, and you're one of the youngest."

Ollie spoke in a relaxed tone, with a hint of appreciation.

"Should I feel honored?"

Meng Chuan sat down casually, looking completely at ease.

"Haha, not many people dare to talk to me like that, and you're the youngest one."

Ollie laughed heartily, then got straight to the point:

“This incident was indeed Ryan’s personal act. I apologize to you and hope that this will not affect our cooperation.”

Meng Chuan was silent for a moment, then said calmly:

"Mr. Ollie, you flatter me. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it."

Meng Chuan chatted as if he were talking to an old friend.

Meng Chuan is indeed no longer angry.

The fact that Ollie came to see him in person was enough to show his attitude and how much he valued him.

Moreover, as the eldest son of the Warburg family, Ollie would never jeopardize the overall situation for petty gains.

If he truly lacked even this much foresight, he wouldn't have lent 10 billion pounds to Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan's response earned Ollie's even greater appreciation.

Young people who know when to advance and when to retreat, and who are calm and wise, are indeed rare.

If he comes in person and Meng Chuan still makes a big deal out of it, then Meng Chuan is not a qualified partner.

Ollie then changed the subject, asking with interest:

"You were the one who spread the false news that the Li family was going to acquire Company 02, weren't you?"

Ollie already knows the whole story.

He was also deeply shocked by Meng Chuan's stroke of genius.

If he were in Meng Chuan's position, facing Ryan's malicious competition, he probably wouldn't have been able to do this.

Meng Chuan raised an eyebrow and shook his head, saying:

"How could it be me? I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Ollie smiled, and knowingly continued to ask:

"Tell me, isn't the person who spread this false information afraid of messing things up? If they mess things up, it'll be hard to clean up the mess."

Meng Chuan remained calm, his tone confident:

"Fortune favors the bold. Moreover, this could also test the Li family's resolve in acquiring 02. I think that's the real intention behind the person spreading the false information, isn't it?"

Meng Chuan's ambiguous answer only raised Ollie's opinion of him even higher.

This young man is not only courageous but also strategic; no wonder he has achieved such success in such a short time.

Ollie nodded, his tone becoming more serious:

"Meng Chuan, I admit I underestimated you before. I hope our future cooperation will be even smoother."

Meng Chuan smiled slightly:

"I hope so too."

Ollie nodded, stood up, and extended his hand, saying:

"Alright, have a safe trip. If you need anything in the UK, just contact me."

Meng Chuan grasped Ollie's hand and nodded, saying:

"must."

The two clasped hands, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

This contest ultimately came to a perfect end thanks to Meng Chuan's wisdom and Aoli's sincerity.

Finally, Meng Chuan boarded a plane bound for Shanghai.

As for Meng Chuan's investments in the UK, they were entrusted to a brokerage firm for safekeeping.

Once the Li family announces in November that they have officially entered the process of acquiring 02 Company, Meng Chuan's plan can be perfectly completed.
