Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

this day.

As soon as Du Shaojie came out of the training center, he saw a dozen people surrounding him.

Wang Yongli and others were very nervous and immediately protected him in the middle, while calling for support from the training center staff.

However, these people did not do anything extreme. Instead, they stopped a few meters away from Du Shaojie and opened the banners in their hands.

The banner read "Give me back my hard-earned money!".

"Everyone, you must have made a mistake. We don't owe you any money."

After receiving the news, Chu Linlin quickly led people out and had a conversation with these people.

"It was you who used despicable means to defeat Li Changsong and his men, otherwise they wouldn't have run away. Now that we can't find them, you must pay them back because you have a responsibility."

The leader was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. There was no logic in her words, but they sounded justified.

Du Shaojie was so angry that he immediately asked Wang Yongli to call the police.

These people probably also knew that the logic behind their disturbance was wrong, so when they heard someone call the police, they left immediately.

To be honest, if they had caused trouble in the company of Li Changsong and others, it would have been understandable, but it was completely unreasonable for them to cause trouble at Du Shaojie's training center.

Du Shaojie asked Chu Linlin and the others to go back, and he walked towards the car parked outside.

He didn't know if anyone had instructed him to do this, but he felt bad. This meant that the matter was not over yet, and there were still people lurking in the dark to cause trouble for him.

But trying to attack yourself through this method is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
The two cars drove out of the training center one after the other. Du Shaojie didn't say anything and the atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing.

After returning home, he called Huang Yong and asked him to check whether there was any mastermind behind the people who caused trouble downstairs in the training center today?
Huang Yong quickly replied to him, saying that the rioters were instigated by someone, but that person was very cautious and did not leave any useful information.

"So you can't find anyone?"

"Yes, after all, we have limited manpower and this isn't a major case, so we can't issue a joint investigation notice."

Huang Yong expressed regret that the matter would end here for the time being. If the other party caused trouble again, perhaps there would be a way to catch him.

Du Shaojie thanked him and hung up the receiver.

He went through the people who had a grudge against him in his mind, and the first suspect was definitely Li Changsong and others. However, Li Changsong's group had already scattered, most of the backbones were arrested, and only a few escaped.

The incident happened suddenly, and Li Changsong and the others had to cover their tracks, so they might not be in the mood to retaliate against me at this time.

Apart from Li Changsong and his gang, he couldn't think of anyone else who would do this.

In the next few days, there were still a small number of people who went to various stores holding banners and causing trouble. Because of the precautions, these people were quickly driven away by the police, and the leaders were taken to the police station for investigation.

Just like the first time, a group of guys who had lost everything came here recklessly after being instigated by someone. In the final analysis, they were still holding out the hope of getting their losses back.

The instigator was finally exposed, but he was very cunning and left Guangzhou early.

"This person's name is Hu Jin. His household registration information shows that he is from North China. He went to the south to work a few years ago. According to our investigation, this person does not belong to any company and his interpersonal relationships are unknown."

Huang Yong told Du Shaojie that people like Hu Jin either do odd jobs outside or do not follow the right path.

Even if this kind of person is caught, it is not certain that any useful information can be dug out. Anyway, he will do the work if someone pays him, and it is basically impossible for him to know who is behind the scenes.

Du Shaojie did not pursue the matter any further, thinking it was just a trivial trick that did not matter much. He would find a way to figure it out when he had a chance in the future.

Everyone thought that this was a farce and that it would be over once it was over, but unexpectedly, an article in a Hong Kong newspaper put Du Shaojie in the spotlight.

The article introduced in detail the whole process of the fight between [Northwest Noodle House] and the copycat store, [Xichuan Restaurant] and [Sichuan Restaurant], and also dug out the grievances between Du Shaojie and Li Changsong.

This part of the report was normal, but what happened next was a bit outrageous.

The article said that Du Shaojie had set up a trap for Li Changsong and others from the beginning, and dragged them into the trap step by step. When Li Changsong and others went bankrupt, Du Shaojie quickly embezzled their assets and made a fortune.

It is said that Li Changsong and others did not take much money with them when they fled, and most of the money went to Du Shaojie.

At the end of the article, examples of projects in which Du Shaojie has a stake include [Yuedong Entertainment] and [Resort], implying that this person appears to be a serious entrepreneur, but is actually a "big boss".

These true and false information can be very misleading. With the spread of this article in the Hong Kong newspaper by people with ulterior motives, it quickly fermented in the mainland and attracted a lot of attention.

Those "gamblers" whose funds were taken away by Li Changsong and others seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. They began to gather in Shenzhen, holding banners and making trouble downstairs of the headquarters building every day.

Moreover, many people privately spread the word that although Du Shaojie was a catering tycoon on the surface, he actually made his fortune by doing shady businesses.

"Mr. Du, we are in a passive position now. We have no way to refute the rumors, and we can't find the source of the rumors."

Du Shaojie came to Shenzhen City, and Meng Gang and others seemed very depressed.

The only confirmed source of information now is the newspaper in Hong Kong, but it is just a tabloid, and suing them is not worth the loss. "We can't let them go! I have asked Dingxin International to handle this matter, and we must sue them. Everyone, someone has done so many things behind the scenes, it is impossible that they have no purpose, they will take the initiative to jump out."

Du Shaojie's mentality was pretty good. After calming down, he realized that this matter was not simple.

The other party is obviously engaging in a public opinion war in an attempt to discredit himself and the company.

Then, the other party must have a backup plan, and all you need to do is wait patiently.

Du Shaojie held a general meeting in the company to calm the employees down, and then he went to the city. He was also a well-known investor in the city, and this time he was very firm in his attitude, demanding that the relevant parties must solve the unreasonable troubles of those people.

The city took this matter very seriously and was determined to crack down on these troublemakers.

None of these troublemakers are innocent. Why didn't they consider the risks when they were chasing high interest rates? Now that the news has exploded, they are biting everywhere like mad dogs. If they had known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?
With a heavy blow, such things finally came to an end.

"Ajie, you dealt with those troublemakers. To put it bluntly, it's illogical for them to ask you for money. But you did invest in [Yuedong Entertainment] and [Resort]. Now some people say you are the KTV king. It's hard for you to defend yourself."

That day, Cai Jing called Du Shaojie out for tea, and naturally they started talking about each other's predicament.

Du Shaojie's current dilemma is that he cannot defend himself. Someone is trying to guide public opinion and portray him as a big shot involved in the gray industry. It is not a good thing to be labeled as such, and it is not good for future development.

"Sister Cai, look, now that even you say so, how many people out there are willing to believe me? So, if I want to prove my innocence, the best way is to withdraw from the KTV and resort projects, right?"

Du Shaojie has always said that he is not a businessman, but he has decades of experience in his mind and is never confused about major issues.

Again, he didn't believe that someone would do so many things just to vent their anger. The black hand behind the scenes must have some ulterior motive. After so long, he has slowly figured out the trick and is just waiting for the day when the other party will show his hand.

Cai Jing seemed to be thinking about something. Du Shaojie's words had actually made it very clear that the mastermind behind all this was after his shares in the [Yuedong Entertainment] and [Resort] projects.

"Do you know who did this?"

Cai Jing's expression was very serious. No matter how powerful the other party was, she would always stand on Du Shaojie's side.

"I don't know, but the other party should show up soon."

Du Shaojie shook his head slowly. He had a feeling that the other party would be very difficult to deal with.

But no matter what, he will make the other party pay a heavy price.

The two of them separated after coming out of the coffee shop. Cai Jing returned to the company, while Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli and others across the border to Hong Kong.

"Winnie has been following this lawsuit recently. The lawyer said that we will definitely win this case, but the price we pay is a bit high."

Liang Meiqin met Du Shaojie and immediately reported the prosecution.

Du Shaojie nodded. It was no big deal to spend some money. If nothing was done, such things would inevitably happen again in the future.

It is better to kill one to warn the rest than to repeat the same thing endlessly in the future.

"Don't think about spending money. I just want them to pay the price."

Du Shaojie shook his head, indicating that he would get to the bottom of the matter.

Liang Meiqin knew the other party's attitude, so she stopped talking and continued to report on the company's recent situation.

After listening to this, Du Shaojie didn't say anything and went straight to his villa.

"Boss, do you want to find a few people to teach that newspaper a lesson?"

Zhong Qing made a suggestion to clean up that tabloid.

Du Shaojie waved his hand, signaling the other party not to do anything reckless. He was at the center of the storm right now, and if he did this, wouldn't it confirm some of the outside world's speculation?
His consistent principle is not to resort to unconventional means to solve problems that can be solved by normal means.

at night.

While giving him a massage, Liang Meiqin said, "Why don't you just withdraw your investment from the entertainment industry to avoid being attacked all the time."

"Yes, this is exactly what some people want. Even if I want to withdraw my investment, I can't let them succeed, otherwise I will be very unhappy."

Du Shaojie has his own persistence. If he can't even handle this little thing, will he have to swallow his anger and offer his catering company to someone in the future?

However, he has not told Pang Weidong and Xu Bo about this matter. He is waiting for some people to come forward.

The next day.

Du Shaojie suddenly received a call from Xu Bo, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.

"Then why don't you and Dongzi come to Xiangjiang? Let's go to the sea and have some fun while we talk things out." (End of this chapter)
