<h4>Chapter 1076: Chapter 1083: Threatening Visit (Part 1)</h4>
In less than half an hour, Nanrong Wanqing, escorted by Zhong Wei and others, arrived at a business hotel in a Rolls-Royce.
After getting out of the car, Nanrong Wanqing didn’t pause for a moment, she hurriedly rushed to the third floor of the hotel. This wasn’t Nanrong Wanqing’s first visit to this business hotel, as she had attended many meetings here before. Aftering out of the elevator, apanied by Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui, Nanrong Wanqing quickly headed to the meeting room, didn’t even knock on the door, and just burst in.
At the moment, there were over ten people gathered in the meeting room, of all ages, all of them men.
Seeing Nanrong Wanqing enter from the outside, everyone stood up and surrounded her. Before Nanrong Wanqing could speak, they began talking all at once, like a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing, which was utterly annoying.
"Miss Nanrong, you’d better give us a reasonable exnation."
"Exactly! Even though your Hongyu Group is the business leader in East Sea City, you can’t act recklessly like this. How are we supposed to continue in the future this way?"
"Chairman Nanrong, if you don’t give us an ount today, we’ll have to ask the Economic Crime Division to step in."
"Enough!" Nanrong Wanqing slightly frowned, spoke impatiently, "Let’s speak one by one, what’s going on exactly?"
Everyone present were entrepreneurs from East Sea City; the Nanrong Family is the business leader in East Sea City, they see each other regrly, so they were not unfamiliar with these people.
"Uncle Liu, you speak first." Nanrong Wanqing pointed at a middle-aged man among them and said. The man was named Liu Quan, who had coborated with Hongyu Group before, considered fostered by the Nanrong Family, which allowed Liu Quan’s business to grow bigger. Therefore, among the agitated crowd, his attitude was the best, and he remained the calmest.
Upon Nanrong Wanqing’s inquiry, Liu Quan slowly started speaking, "Miss Nanrong, here’s the situation..."
After listening to Liu Quan’s ount, Nanrong Wanqing quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter. It turned out that Liu Wei had met with everyone a few hours ago, and it was in this meeting room. Liu Wei imed to be a partner with Hongyu Group and wanted to establish cooperative rtions with everyone, with multiple parties investing in setting up factories in multiple fields for production manufacturing.
The ns proposed by Liu Wei were excellent, but everyone is a businessperson and understands market demands best. Currently, the market in East Sea City is close to saturation, there’s little profit, and no big money. So, everyone was not very interested in Liu Wei’s proposals. It’s really unnecessary to go through the hassle and effort for a seven-figure annual ie. For them, at least eight-figure profits are needed to attract interest.
Originally, everyone was ready to leave, but Liu Wei stopped them at the door and didn’t allow anyone to leave. Not only that, but Liu Wei also took out their leverage and threatened them to sign contracts and jointly invest and run businesses. Doing this was like everyone contributing money and effort, while Liu Wei only needed to manage, then collecting profits annually, equivalent to making the most without spending anything.
No one would be willing to do such a thing. More importantly, Liu Wei, when leaving, said that he had signed a contract with Hongyu Group, and all matters involved the participation and authorization of the Nanrong Family. If they wanted to argue, they should go directly to Nanrong Wanqing.
This is why everyone was eager to call Nanrong Wanqing over.
After understanding the situation, Nanrong Wanqing seemed very helpless. She had long expected Liu Wei wouldn’t give up easily, but didn’t expect him to be so ruthless, directly trapping so many people.
"Miss Nanrong." Liu Quan asked in front of everyone, "I just want to know, is your Hongyu Group protecting that Liu Wei?"
Hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing was at a loss for words. The contract clearly stiptes the terms, with her signature and fingerprint, both legally effective. Although she didn’t want to admit it in her heart, this was the fact; if she refuted, Liu Wei only needs to present that contract, then she would be branded as deceiving everyone. By that time, she and Hongyu Group’s reputation would surely be greatly affected.
Seeing Nanrong Wanqing’s prolonged silence, a slightly older middle-aged man couldn’t help but shout: "Nanrong Wanqing, are you guilty or afraid to speak? We trusted you so much, yet you did such a thing. We really were blind to have elected you as the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce."
Besides being the Chairman of Hongyu Group, Nanrong Wanqing is also the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in East Sea City, specializing in safeguarding merchants’ interests. Because of this, Nanrong Wanqing is highly respected in East Sea City’s businessmunity.
Seeing everyone looking ferocious, Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui apanying became worried Nanrong Wanqing might be in trouble, hurriedly stood before her to prevent these angry businessmen from identally injuring Nanrong Wanqing.
"Zhong Wei, you all step aside." Nanrong Wanqing made a calm gesture for Zhong Wei and the others to step down.
"Everyone!" Nanrong Wanqing swept her gaze over everyone present, saying, "I’m very sorry about this, and I want to offer my sincere apologies to you all here. There are some issues between Liu Wei and me that have not been resolved yet, and because of me, you have suffered losses, I also have to bear part of the responsibility. Here, I guarantee to you all that Hongyu Group will never do anything that harms everyone’s interests."
"So what about the losses we have now? Will your Hongyu Grouppensate?" someone called out from the crowd.
Nanrong Wanqing nced at the person who spoke and said, "Everyone, I admit it’s my fault, but don’t push all the problems onto me. Uncle Liu, you just said Liu Wei used your leverage to threaten you; I want to know what leverage, that allows you to willingly be threatened by him."
Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at each other in silence, hard to speak it seemed.
Liu Quan hesitated for a moment, lightly coughed and said, "Miss Nanrong, it’s like this, we... we’ve all yed at the Tianyu Leisure Club, inevitably made some... I won’t exin, but you can understand. Liu Wei is the owner of Tianyu Leisure Club, he secretly recorded the videos and used them to threaten us. If we don’t cooperate, he’s prepared to post the videos online. It’s about everyone’s reputation, and we have no choice, so..."
"So you’re letting him extort and threaten you?" Nanrong Wanqing sneered, her tone mocking. No wonder only men are present, and not a single woman, only men would go and revel in such a ce.
Men... They all have the same habit indeed!
"So, not all the responsibility lies with me. If you weren’t living indiscriminately, how would there be leverage falling into Liu Wei’s hands? Now it’s good, all the responsibility is pushed onto me, do you think Hongyu Group is easy to bully?"
Nanrong Wanqing nced over everyone, feeling her gaze, everyone subconsciously turned away, not daring to meet her eyes.
