Chapter 211: Putting Li Zhelan In His Place
Chapter 211: Putting Li Zhelan In His Place
Mo Fan wished he could run away from here immediately but at the same time, he knew that if he returned to Qin Yichen with incomplete information, he would also receive some blame.
So he sat still and waited to hear what they had to say.
"Although it might not seem like a big niche, but we should know that the world is fast developing, there would be several leaps in the entertainment industry and we should hold this one down now."
"It is just a small business, surely, the four of you should be enough to handle matters." Mo Fan asked while swirling the wine in his glass.
Hearing no reply from them, he continued, "What do you need Qin Yichen for?"
Snatching a business of that scale wasn't a big deal. Especially since that was how the Li Family usually handled their matters. They would buy companies that weren't doing well or had very high potential.
With their connections and influence, they would take it to even greater heights. Because of this, they had subsidiaries in almost every industry.
Li Zhelan looked away from a moment, avoiding Mo Fan's gaze, after all, he hadn't prepared for Mo Fan to think of something like that.
The truth was, unlike other people, they had made plans to buy the first Arcade center before it became Rong Yue's own.
Instead of paying the old owner straight up, they had stalled for time and tried to use their connections behind the scenes. After seeing that the turnover wasn't any good, they had dumped the idea and backed out of the deal.
Because they had some affiliations to it before, they had quickly noticed when a new person bought the equipments. And later, bought the entire building too. However, they weren't expecting much from it.
But it went beyond their expectations and Rong Yue that understood that those types of game was new to people had used a different strategy to bring customers in.
Now that people liked it and even found it addicting, their family wanted a share back.
As one of the top Eight families, they still had many talents and resources and it didn't take them long to realize that the machines were already altered.
The one they backed out from was not the same one.
Because of this, they had imported a small number of those machines and they had spent the last two months trying to modify them.
Unfortunately, regardless of which expert was called, they were unable to understand how the machine was taken from the original product to the altered one.
With that stumbling block, they could only opt for buying the company out.
But all their attempts at finding out the person behind also failed.
In the end, they decided to pull in Qin Yichen.

Since Qin Yichen was a computer expert and had many experts in technology, they wanted to pull him into the project so that he could either find the person or find the secret behind the altered machines.
Of course Li Zhelan couldn't tell Mo Fan about what had happened and could only try to find a lie.
"It's a good opportunity for all of us to do something together, we are getting older and our group can't be for show only right?"
The four of them had sour expressions as they felt completely humiliated by Mo Fan.
"Just because he runs around Qin Yichen like a dog, he thinks that he can act like this with us?"
Li Zhelan was most proud of his achievements. Previously, out of the eight families, the Li family was the weakest and what had saved them was their relationship with Qin Yichen on most occasions, after all, out of the Exclusive Eight, the Li Family had two children there.
But ever since he took over the business with his sister, they had grown stronger than the Hao and Lin Family making them the sixth strongest.
That was an achievement in its own and if they crossed out the reclusive Zi family, they would be in the top five.
Because of this, he had grown cocky and didn't even put someone like Mo Fan with no achievements in his eyes.
Yet, that same person had talked to him with complete disregard and even pushed him down.
The anger and hatred in his heart was intense and he clenched his tightly to hold himself back.
"Now that Mo Fan isn't cooperating, how do we work with Qin Yichen?" Hao Song asked from the side.
Unlike the others, after thinking about the matter again, he felt that Mo Fan didn't act out of line.
On the other hand, he felt that they were the ones that had treated him with too much disregard.
The anger in his heart wasn't much to start with and was now dispersed.
"What Qin Yichen? Since he treated us four with disregard, there's no need to involve him." Li Zhelan yelled.
Other than his sister, the other two in the room frowned subtly.
"Just me is enough, I'll find out every information I need from the dark web and get the company. If they don't want to help, the both of can get out!"
Since the rooms were well soundproofed, he didn't care about being overheard and thundered angrily.
Hao Song drained the remaining wine in his glass and stood up.
"Since you can solve it alone, there's no need for this to be a collaboration as we would only be leeching off you..."
"...I'll take my leave now."
His words were simple and he didn't even wait for a reply before opening the door.
His family was the weakest and he didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble. Also, he didn't want to work with Li Zhelan if it wasn't a group work.
Perhaps, he didn't have as much capabilities as Li Zhelan did, but he was also not the type to reach beyond his capabilities.
Li Zhelan's face darkened with his departure but it didn't make him sober, instead he got even more angry.
"I have no reason to work with trash like you in the first place. Since you want to leave, then get out!"
