Chapter 337 What is the wickedness of society?
Li Menghan heard Wang Lei suggest going to Taizixuan for dinner.
He thought about it for a moment and decided it was a good idea.
After all, his mother, Zhang Ruoran, was a senior executive at that restaurant.
Although he doesn't want his mother to know about his company yet, lest she say he's been scammed like his sister did.
But eating at a restaurant run by my own mother still gives me a certain sense of familiarity.
Moreover, that place was indeed high-end enough to match his current status as a big boss.
Li Menghan nodded very readily:
"Alright! Let's go to Prince Xuan!"
"Go book the biggest private room. Tonight, everyone can eat and drink to their heart's content. All expenses are on me!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lei's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.
He quickly picked up his phone to make a reservation.
"Boss Li is so generous! I'll arrange it right away!"
7 PM.
Tai Zi Xuan Restaurant, Han City World.
Today, because Li Ze didn't have that flower delivery event, the restaurant's business was still good, but it wasn't as ridiculously packed as yesterday.
Wang Lei had booked a very luxurious private room in advance.
Li Menghan brought Fan Xi, Wang Lei, and his technical team members, a total of six people.
Everyone sat down in the private room.
The waiter brought the menu over.
Li Menghan didn't even look at it and said directly to the waiter:
"Bring out all of your restaurant's most expensive and best signature dishes."
"Also, bring over two more bottles of your best red wine."
The waiter's eyes lit up when he heard this way of ordering, and he quickly nodded and left.
Soon, plates of exquisite dishes were served.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Australian Lobster, and Top-Grade Wagyu Beef.
The table was laden with delicacies from land and sea, their aromas irresistible.
Wang Lei stood up and very attentively poured Li Menghan a full glass of red wine.
Then he raised his glass and said loudly:
"Come on, brothers!"
"Let's raise a glass together to our greatest boss, Mr. Li!"
"Today is not only the day our company's funds arrive, but also the first day we embark on our path to success!"
The others at the table also stood up, holding their glasses, and loudly echoed:
"Respect to Boss Li!"
"Wishing the company a speedy IPO!"
Li Menghan sat in the main seat.
He looked at these people who were so respectful and obsequious to him.
His vanity was greatly satisfied.
He raised his glass and clinked it with everyone in a very generous manner.
"Cheers!"
After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room immediately became lively.
Wang Lei is clearly a very perceptive person who is also very good at creating a lively atmosphere.
After a few drinks, he started boasting about their project at the dinner table.
Wang Lei, his face flushed, waved his arms and shouted:
"Mr. Li, don't worry! Your investment of 20 million is absolutely the best decision you've ever made!"
"The core algorithm that our team has mastered is the most advanced technology in the world."
"As soon as we buy our super server and the model starts running."
"Within three months, our product will sweep the entire market!"
Wang Lei became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see countless banknotes beckoning to him.
"At that time, all those big companies and enterprises will line up and beg to buy our technology."
"Our market capitalization will exceed one billion in the first year! And it will reach several billion in the second year!"
"We could earn tens of billions in just a few years and go public on NASDAQ!"
Li Menghan sat there, listening to Wang Lei's grandiose promises.
Although he had no idea what those so-called algorithms were.
However, upon hearing those figures of earning billions or tens of billions in just a few months...
His eyes lit up immediately.
His heart was filled with beautiful fantasies about the future.
He felt that everything Wang Lei said could definitely be achieved.
After all, the high-tech industry is inherently very profitable.
Then, he can use the profits of tens or hundreds of billions to thoroughly slap his father, Li Ze, in the face.
Go slap his sister Li Mengli in the face.
Go slap Lu Wenzhou, the one who looks down on him.
Let them all see that Li Menghan is not a piece of trash!
Li Menghan became increasingly excited as he thought about it. He picked up his wine glass and said loudly:
"Good! Well said!"
"As long as everyone works hard with me, we can make the project a success."
"I, Li Menghan, am definitely not the kind of stingy boss!"
He looked at Wang Lei and the other technicians, and announced with great pride:
"When the company distributes profits at the end of the year, I'll give each of you a bonus of ten million!"
Hearing the number "ten million".
The people in the private room were all stunned.
Ten million!
This is an astronomical figure for these college students.
Wang Lei reacted the fastest.
He immediately raised his glass and shouted:
"Long live Boss Li!"
"Boss Li is so generous! We'll do anything for you!"
The others joined in the cheers.
Everyone toasted each other, and the atmosphere in the private room became extremely lively.
It's as if the company has already made billions and is having a celebration banquet.
however.
Everything that happened inside this private room.
None of them escaped the eyes and ears of the old man.
At this moment.
Next to this private room.
The eldest brother was wearing headphones and sitting quietly on the sofa.
There was a laptop in front of him.
The computer screen clearly displayed the scene inside Li Menghan's private room.
There were also audio monitoring devices nearby, recording every word they said clearly.
The old man listened to Wang Lei's blatant and nonsensical boasts.
Then listen to Li Menghan's excited reaction, as if she had been completely fooled.
Even his usually expressionless face couldn't help but reveal a hint of speechlessness.
The first man shook his head.
He took out his phone and sent the video and audio recording he had just made directly to Li Ze, who was far away in the United States.
A written report was attached below:
"Boss, the young master is having dinner with those swindlers at Prince Xuan."
"That guy named Wang Lei is making empty promises, saying he can earn billions in just a few months. The young master believes him without a doubt and has already promised them each a ten million bonus at the end of the year."
"In addition, our people have thoroughly investigated the background of Wang Lei and his gang, as you instructed."
"They've used similar methods to scam several wealthy students at other schools before. We've collected and secured all the evidence, including transfer records, chat screenshots, and forged business plans. You can send them to jail at any time."
America.
Long Island Estate.
It was early morning.
Li Ze was sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast.
Hearing his phone vibrate, he picked it up and glanced at it.
After he saw the video and text report sent by Lao Yi.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha, this silly kid. He really believes everything others boast about."
Li Ze watched the video as Li Menghan looked smug and made a grand promise of a ten million yuan bonus.
He found it hilarious, but at the same time, he was also somewhat disappointed in him.
A 20 million investment, and they haven't even made a ripple yet, and they're already popping champagne?
Are they going to give out tens of millions in bonuses?
Their business acumen is simply appalling.
However, Li Ze was not angry.
Because all of this was within his expectations.
He quickly typed on his phone and replied to Lao Yi:
"Well done, First Brother. The evidence was collected very promptly."
"But don't do anything to them yet. Let him enjoy his happiness for a few more days."
A deeper meaning flashed in Li Ze's eyes:
"Wait until he burns all that 20 million, until he discovers that those people have run away with his money."
"When this matter is completely exposed, and he has nowhere else to turn."
"Let's make another move."
"When the time comes, just take the evidence to the police. Send Wang Lei and his gang of swindlers to jail and let them rot in jail."
"As for Meng Han."
Li Ze paused for a moment, then continued typing:
"This time, he needs to suffer a severe fall. Let him truly experience what it means to be treacherous in society."
"Only by making him feel the pain to the core can he learn a profound lesson and avoid making such a basic mistake again."
After sending the message.
Li Ze placed his phone on the table.
He picked up his coffee and took a sip.
His gaze fell upon the beautiful lawn outside the window.
"Son, didn't you want to prove yourself? Didn't you think everything I said was wrong?"
"Then Dad will show you what a real shopping mall is really like."
