Xu Jiaguo instantly understood.
Right.
Let alone the fact that he hadn't blocked Zhao Guanying.
Even if he had, couldn't the other party contact him using another number, or find someone else to approach him?
Nothing!
Absolutely nothing!
Apart from raging outside and spreading some gossip.
A lot of thunder, but little rain!
What other reason could there be?
It must be to use this incident to severely extort him.
In an instant, Xu Jiaguo figured everything out.
And he also instantly felt that perhaps the mysterious person on the phone...
Might actually be quite capable.
However... what exactly was the reason that Zhao Guanying could swallow such a bitter fruit?
Could it be...
That the other party wanted to make an exorbitant demand?
It made sense.
A wife who was previously just a third-tier minor celebrity.
The Zhao family might not be satisfied.
If this minor celebrity could bring immense benefits to their family.
Such a deal would be perfect.
As for Zhao Guanying's reputation as a cuckold?
A joke!
Afterward, as long as the two appeared in public hand in hand and said that the film was just AI face-swapping, and everything before was a rumor.
As long as people saw the two respecting each other, all rumors would be dispelled!
But thinking of this, Xu Jiaguo's face grew even more somber.
An exorbitant demand, if given, it would be no problem!
The problem was, how could he afford it!
Now he understood, it was likely that not only he had thought of it, but some shareholders of Hengda had also thought of it.
But precisely because Hengda didn't want to pay this money, they pushed him out as cannon fodder!
"Sir... do you have a way to help me spend less to resolve this?"
Having figured out the key point, Xu Jiaguo asked suspiciously.
Ye Yun on the other end of the line cursed the pauper.
He wasn't surprised that Xu Jiaguo could figure everything out.
After all, he had guided him to this point, and if the other party still couldn't understand, they would truly be as dumb as a pig.
But to ask to resolve this with less cost without even thinking, that was too scummy.
Was he the kind of person who would turn his back on someone after getting what he wanted?
Of course, if Ye Yun had no solution, he wouldn't have chosen to make this call!
Ye Yun had already planned how to entrap Xu Jiaguo and Zhao Guanying.
It was very simple, if Lin Shiyou could trust him, this charlatan, why couldn't Xu Jiaguo and Zhao Guanying trust him?
Before contacting Xu Jiaguo, he had already contacted Zhao Guanying.
He had informed Zhao Guanying of the possible situations before the video was exposed.
He had even helped Zhao Guanying strategize and demand exorbitant compensation!
Zhao Guanying had long been tired of a third-rate actor.
It was a good opportunity to get a new plaything and a large sum of money, so why not?
It was just a double-gain from an inside job.
It sounded simple, but the most important thing was to accurately predict the next steps. A slight deviation would lead to a loss of trust.
This was different from events that happened in his previous life.
The entire matter was orchestrated by him!
And once absolute trust was established, Xu and Zhao would both be doomed!
"Young Master Zhao, you worry too much. Demanding five million from you is for you not to pay any price." Ye Yun's mechanical voice came again.
"What! Sir, please elaborate!" Xu Jiaguo was greatly shocked.
No matter what, he couldn't have imagined.
That this mysterious person on the phone could find a way for him to resolve this without paying a single cent.
Did the other party have the confidence to make Zhao Guanying swallow such a huge loss and remain silent?
How could that be!
"You just need to do this, this... Even if Zhao Guanying doesn't agree to a settlement, Tiansheng Group will agree." Ye Yun said.
Upon hearing Ye Yun's method, Xu Jiaguo's emotions shifted from initial panic to shock, and finally to excitement!
He knew that if it truly happened as this mysterious master said.
Then what did it matter if he slept with Zhao Guanying's wife? Even if he slept with Zhao Guanying himself, Tiansheng Group wouldn't say a word.
Even Tiansheng Group might be grateful to him, and perhaps even provide more help to Hengda Group, it wasn't impossible!
...
After hanging up the phone, Ye Yun smiled as he watched an advertisement on television.
The trap had been set, and the rest was for Xu Jiaguo and Zhao Guanying to step into the abyss themselves.
In fact, the method he provided was simple, something anyone could think of.
Balancing merits and demerits!
As long as Xu Jiaguo could help Tiansheng Group with a favor, a favor that Tiansheng Group couldn't refuse, a favor that could save Tiansheng Group several hundred million.
How would they choose?
A third-rate minor celebrity who had luckily married into a wealthy family, why would Tiansheng Group care about her?
A method that everyone could think of, but only Ye Yun could implement.
And this matter was currently being broadcast in a television advertisement.
Jinling City, Tiansheng Hotel Grand Opening Ceremony Tomorrow.
Tiansheng Hotel.
This was a name that would be mentioned for a long time in the future.
However, this name was not because Tiansheng Hotel's service was excellent or its dishes were delicious.
But for one reason.
The Tiansheng Hotel Tragedy!
A massive tragedy that cast a shadow over the entire Jinling City.
To be precise, it happened in just one day, or even less than a day.
The decline of the real estate industry was evident to any real estate company.
Tiansheng, as one of the local leaders, was no exception, so they also considered transformation.
And this transformation was from residential to hotels.
Tiansheng Hotel was a product of this transformation.
As the first transitional hotel built by Tiansheng Group, its purpose was naturally to lead the entire Jinling hotel industry.
An investment of hundreds of millions was just the basic.
But no one expected.
Such a massive hotel, one of the most luxurious in Jinling, would experience a super disaster on the evening of its grand opening!
A fire mercilessly engulfed the entire hotel.
Not only did the more than twenty-story Tiansheng Hotel turn to ashes overnight.
It also claimed the lives of over twenty people in this merciless fire.
What Ye Yun lamented even more was that the heroes who later fought the fire also sacrificed their lives.
Once this incident occurred, Tiansheng Group immediately declined.
For Ye Yun, waiting for Tiansheng Group to decline was the best outcome.
But he couldn't bear the thought of dozens of people dying in that fire.
He wasn't a do-gooder, but he couldn't stand to see others die in vain.
Therefore, it was inevitable that he would propose something.
Of course, he didn't plan to propose this himself, but through Xu Jiaguo's mouth.
According to his memory, after the police report, it was learned that.
The fire was caused by a rat chewing through the insulation of an electrical wire in the kitchen.
Later, due to excessive steam, the wire short-circuited, causing a massive fire.
Because business was too good at the time, with various high-heat stoves cooking in the kitchen, no one noticed when the fire was small.
What's more, coincidentally, the sprinkler system malfunctioned.
This led to the entire kitchen being engulfed in flames in a very short period.
Don't forget, there were many gas pipelines in the kitchen.
Bang!
In a short time, flames shot up, rapidly spreading and igniting the entire Jinling night sky with a raging inferno!
Even though the fire department received the alarm in the shortest possible time and rushed to the scene.
However, Jinling's traffic made it difficult for the rescue teams to arrive immediately.
Ultimately, this disaster still resulted in the deaths of dozens of people...
And now, Ye Yun wanted to save all of this.
However, this favor would be reaped by Xu Jiaguo.
