Chapter 33: Yuxue Takes Action, The Queen's Aura
[PS: Recommendation votes, collections! A little reward would be even better! Everyone's support, thank you!]
There are more and more people.
Su Wen knew this was what they called following the crowd mentality.
By the afternoon, Su Wen roughly calculated that there were already over 6,000 people who had entered Jibaozhai. He imagined that for a shop like this, the annual flow of customers would be around 10,000 people, but today they had already reached half of their yearly goal in just one morning. It was completely unimaginable. He looked outside and saw that there were still many people continuously entering Jibaozhai, and the place where money was being grabbed at the entrance was still surrounded by a crowd, only the remaining money was not much.
Jubaozhai Second Floor.
Chu Lao looked at Su Wen and said: "What are you doing, kid? Did you remember the people I introduced to you earlier?"
Su Wen nodded: "Got it."
Mr. Chu obviously intentionally cultivated Su Wen, and the coin appraisal eventually became a sideshow. However, those very rare old coins still attracted everyone's attention. Several coin enthusiasts took a liking to some of the old coins, and they asked Mr. Chu for them for half a day, but no matter what, Mr. Chu wouldn't sell. Finally, getting impatient, Mr. Chu simply said: "Today is just for appraisal, I didn't plan on selling the old coins. You can come back tomorrow, and at that time, I will selectively sell some of the old coins."
Noon.
According to the established procedure, Chu Lao would invite everyone to have a buffet at the nearby Ruyi Hotel.
At this time, two uninvited guests came from upstairs, who were Wang Lin and Cui Daikai, who had just resigned.
"It's going to be a good show." Fang Qingming sneered, "Wang Lin and Cui Dabing are definitely here to cause trouble. Their new store is about to open, and they're short on opportunities to attract attention. With all of us gathered here, as long as they can stir up some trouble, they'll be able to make a big splash."
"This Wang Lin is ruthless, initially Chu Lao took care of him so much, turning him from a primary school apprentice into a master craftsman, but he didn't expect that he would betray Chu Lao in the blink of an eye. I heard that all the old customers of Jibao Zhai were taken away by him, and that Cui Guan Shi is not a good bird either, all the supply channels of Jibao Zhai have been taken over by him."
Wang Lin came up and looked at Chu Lao, opening his mouth to say: "Chu Lao, I heard that today is your birthday, so I specially came to wish you a happy birthday."
Chu Lao's face didn't look very good.
Su Wen looked at Wang Lin, this guy seemed to have a straight face, but everyone could feel the provocative tone in his words. His purpose was self-evident, today was just for creating momentum for his new shop, it's just unknown whether Chu Lao can handle it and whether Yi Xue had anticipated this.
"You don't have to wish me a long life anymore, I heard you're also going to open an antique shop, do it well, can't waste the things I taught you." Chu Lao's words became sharp and unreasonable, he was really infuriated by Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's face smiled, but his eyes did not: "That's a matter of course. I also want to thank Old Chu for his teachings. Today I came, actually, I wanted to make some preparations for the new shop opening. Would you mind, Old Chu, handing over some things from the聚宝斋?"
"What thing?"
Wang Lin looked back at Cui Daikun: "Take a look for Old Chu?"
Cui Dake took out a stack of documents from his pocket: "Mr. Chu, take a look."
Chu Lao didn't know what was going on, but after taking it over, he only looked at the first page and his face turned ugly. He casually flipped through a few more pages, and they were all like this. Seeing this, Chu Lao's anger burst out: "Wang Lin, so you had planned to scheme against old man from the very beginning?"
Wang Lin didn't say anything.
Su Wen also saw the contents inside, and all of them were proofs of antique purchases. In the signature column of the buyers, they were actually signed by Wang Lin, which means that these things were not sold to Ju Bao Zhai, but to Wang Lin. Such a situation is not allowed in any company or enterprise, but Ju Bao Zhai was short-handed before, and Chu Lao trusted Wang Lin too much, making it easy for Wang Lin to achieve his goal.
"Chu Lao, give us the goods!" Cui Daikun spoke up. He had followed Chu Lao for a long time, and this time he wanted to follow Wang Lin alone because Wang Lin's price was too high. In fact, he didn't want to oppose Chu Lao in his heart, but for the sake of future business, he had no choice but to do so.
Many onlookers were waiting for Chu Lao to speak up.
Fang Qingming sneered inwardly, knowing that this gathering was doomed to fail. The other side came with a strong momentum, with evidence and an imposing atmosphere, what could the Treasure Gathering Pavilion use to counterattack?
Guo Dongqing was also smug, originally he still had some resentment, the Treasure Pavilion today made such a big deal, and in the future, business didn't know how good it would be. But now the Treasure Pavilion was overjoyed to the point of tragedy, so many antiques were taken away by Wang Lin, it's really hard to believe that the Treasure Pavilion could still survive. Just thinking about the several purchase certificates he saw earlier, their value was not less than one million. Thinking about Wang Lin's methods, it was simply a case of "empty-handed and white-wolfed", this was pushing Old Chu to the road of death!
Chu Lao's eyes were about to split open, he was very helpless at this time.
Downstairs.
"Thud...thud..."
The familiar sound of high heels came, Su Wen turned his head, he saw Yi Xue, and Chu Fei following behind Yi Xue.
Behind them were four policemen and a court officer.
"Wang Lin, Cui Da Ke." Yixue said.
The surroundings were quiet, but as soon as she appeared, the atmosphere around her was completely disrupted. She stood in the grand hall, like a noble queen, like an emperor among flowers. Anyone who looked at her felt like a subject, and that aura made people dare not look directly at her, cold, proud and aloof! Su Wen was also shocked, he had never thought that Yuxue would be so serious, the air seemed to be a bit chilly, as if it might snow at any moment, piercing through his heart!
"Big...big sister!" Wang Lin's face showed a hint of fear.
Actually, he didn't have much contact with Yuxue, only heard from Chu Lao that Yuxue was very formidable. In his impression, Yuxue was beautiful and nothing more, as for the formidability mentioned by Chu Lao, he hadn't felt it at all. But now Yuxue stood in the center of the crowd, her aura was like a sharp knife, he felt that the flesh on his body was being cut down bit by bit, in an instant he had the urge to turn and run away, this woman just read out his name, it seemed as if he was about to enter hell.
"You speak." Yuxue took a step back.
The people in the court stood up respectfully, looked at Wang Lin and Cui Dabing, and said loudly: "Mr. Wang Lin, Mr. Cui Dabing, you are involved in twelve commercial crimes including commercial fraud, commercial secrets disclosure, and violation of labor contract with Jibaozhai. Miss Yixue, as the lawyer of Jibaozhai, has sued you on behalf of Jibaozhai three days ago. Our Jiangning Court has formally accepted this case. Now please follow us."
The surroundings fell silent.
Three days ago?
Yi Xue had actually started preparing for this three days ago. This woman couldn't have anticipated that things would turn out like this today, could she?!
This is simply a godly plot twist!
Su Wen was also stunned: "It's too scary, this time Wang Lin's shop can only be opened in prison."
"We don't..." Wang Lin shouted out loud.
Yi Xue smiled coldly and walked straight to Chu Lao, taking the stack of receipts from his hand: "You used the Huobao bill's funds to buy antiques for yourself, the amount on this stack of receipts is as high as tens of millions. If nothing unexpected happens, you won't be able to get out of prison in ten years."
"What evidence? You need to have evidence?" Wang Lin still refused to admit defeat.
"There's too much evidence, every time you make a transaction, the payment account is Jubaobao, and the invoice you issued is also Jubaobao. Those who sold things to you have been found by me, and they will testify. Of course, you can deny it and say that you paid with your own money, but I'll ask the court to investigate your income proof. I believe that a crime of over 10 million yuan may be even more serious." Yixue seemed to have directly sentenced Wang Lin's future fate.
"It's all... it's all Big Sister's fault! He did it!" Cui Dali directly knelt down, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
"Let the court decide!" Yuxue looked at Cui Dali, "Uncle Cui, one wrong step and it's hard to turn back. I know Grandfather values old relationships, so he didn't want to pursue past matters either. But you shouldn't have come to Jibaozhai again today to cause trouble. With me here, you're not even qualified!"
Su Wen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: "This woman moves like a queen."
"Take it away!" The court staff looked at Wang Lin and Cui Dake, but when they were about to leave, they said again, "Ms. Yixue, will you personally take charge of this case? Last time you helped Liu Yan and her daughter overturn that case, it was a classic for us. Now in the Jiangning lawyer circle, you are the number one figure."
"This small case, let the students who followed me in the law firm take over!" Yuxue thought for a moment.
"Alright, Ms. Yuxue, we will notify you as soon as the trial result comes out," said the court staff, and then turned around and went downstairs.
The people around her have no idea how to express their emotions, where did this woman come from?
Isn't he supposed to be a lawyer?
Only Su Wen and a few others knew that being a lawyer was just one of Yuxue's part-time jobs.
