After everyone heard this, they suddenly became interested.
Human curiosity often begins with prying into other people's privacy.
Zhang Xuchang enjoyed great success back then, but his desires also expanded. Everyone has always had very different ideas as to why Zhang Xuchang suddenly chose to quit.
But Zhao Liwen obviously knew all this.
But now, Zhao Liwen is willing to tell the truth about what happened back then, which is obviously a good choice.
At least it would make Gu Chen understand how much grievances Zhang Xuchang had with Zhao Liwen back then.
Zhao Liwen sighed quietly and took the initiative to explain: "After Zhang Xuchang became a benchmark in the industry, he began to be extravagant and indulgent. He no longer cared about his own brand management. He believed that his success was a reflection of his own ability."
"But he actually doesn't know that a large part of the reason why he has become an industry benchmark is luck."
"Because at that time, everyone's concept of the B&B brand was still quite vague, and there was no even definition."
"As for the word B&B, it's called 'Minshuku'. Some people say it originated from the Japanese B&B."
"Refers to the use of local residential and other related idle resources, operating guest rooms no more than 4 floors, with a construction area of no more than 800 square meters, with the host participating in the reception, and providing tourists with small accommodation facilities to experience local nature, culture, production and lifestyle."
"Of course, this definition also fully explains the characteristics of B&Bs that are different from hotels or restaurants."
"After all, B&Bs are different from traditional hotels. They may not have high-end and luxurious facilities, but they allow people to experience the local customs, feel the enthusiasm and service of the B&B owners, and experience a life that is different from the past."
"Zhang Xuchang came to the scenic spot early, and the scenic spot was still undeveloped at that time, which gave him a head start."
After a pause, Zhao Liwen took another sip of water and continued: "He rented many unused rooms and many open spaces from local people, combining local culture, natural landscape, ecology, environmental resources and agricultural, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry production sites."
"Provide personalized accommodation for travelers who are going out for outings or traveling far away. This first-come, first-served approach gives him a geographical advantage."
"Coupled with the local policy guidance in the past few years, and preparations to build a tourist resort, his 'Guiyuan Tianju' brand became an instant hit."
"As for other colleagues, it's because they have no resources and can only drink soup. I belong to this category of B&B hosts."
"Then why did he transfer 'Guiyuan Tianju' to you?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Zhao Liwen grinned: "It's not just for a woman. He became a celebrity in the industry because of his popularity. Many people worshiped him, so that Zhang Xuchang looked like a star wherever he went in those years."
"Many women knew how old he was, but they still chose to throw themselves into his arms, so that one day, he got involved with the local village chief's daughter-in-law."
"But it happened that that day, I went out to inspect a new venue, and I happened to meet them at that place."
"It turns out that Zhang Xuchang was also considering the idea of opening a branch during that time. Like me, he went out of town, but I bumped into them at a hotel in another place."
"That's quite embarrassing." Thinking of this, several sets of pictures suddenly appeared in Lu Weiwei's mind.
Officer Wang quickly asked her: "So you are using this as a threat?"
"That's right." Zhao Liwen did not hide anything, and directly admitted: "Originally, my B&B was opened opposite him. Maybe it was because I saw that his business was full every day, but my B&B was deserted, which caused some psychological imbalance.
"
"And what makes me most unhappy is that Zhang Xuchang often sneers at me, teasing me to close the business as soon as possible and stop spending time with him here."
"Of course I was not convinced, so I was always looking for a new location to open a branch. I also wanted to find a place with beautiful scenery and great development prospects to take advantage of it, so I met Zhang Xuchang and that woman there."
Yuan Shasha was thoughtful and asked her: "Then how did you do it?"
Zhao Liwen smiled coldly and replied: "I didn't expose myself at first. Instead, I kept observing secretly, waiting for an opportunity to take pictures of the two of them. After I had enough material, I came up with a bold idea."
"That is to use this matter to negotiate with him and let him transfer the property to return to the garden."
"Compared with Guiyuan Tianju's already mature business model, I think it is more reliable to expand its territory and manage an uncertain future."
"So you used these photos and videos to blackmail Zhang Xuchang?" Gu Chen asked her.
Zhao Liwen was silent for a few seconds and did not reply immediately.
But he still nodded silently to express his approval.
Just when Gu Chen was about to speak again, Zhao Liwen suddenly raised her head and said, "I will make these photos, put them in envelopes, and personally deliver them to his home in the garden."
"Since then, Zhang Xuchang has been in panic. He knows that once these photos are leaked, his return to the countryside will be over in an instant."
"And I almost want to report him because he has gained too many identities by using the Guiyuan Tianju brand."
"If these photos of mine are distributed, he may have to finish his game and get out of the place completely. He may even be attacked from behind."
"So after weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Xuchang asked me what I wanted? I said, I wanted his return home."
"You are blackmailing." Lu Weiwei said.
Zhao Liwen nodded unabashedly: "Yes, but please listen to what I have to say."
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei and signaled Lu Weiwei to listen quietly.
The scene became quiet again.
At the same time, the waiter also opened the door of the private room, and two waiters pushed the dining cart and brought all the dishes ordered by Zhao Liwen directly to the table.
The waitress at the front desk came close to Zhao Liwen and whispered: "Mr. Zhao, all the dishes you ordered are here."
"I know, let's go down." Zhao Liwen said listlessly.
The waitress at the front desk nodded silently, and after the two waiters had served the dishes, she left sensibly and gently closed the door.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Zhao Liwen smiled bitterly, took the initiative to pick up the corkscrew, opened a bottle of red wine, and asked, "Would you like to drink some together?"
"No, we don't drink." Gu Chen said.
Zhao Liwen nodded silently, feeling a little embarrassed.
At least I thought it was funny that the police wanted to drink with them when they were asking me about things.
But now it was meal time, and the police didn't mean to stop her from eating, so Zhao Liwen poured herself a glass of red wine, picked up the goblet and said:
"I'm treating you today. I'm treating you to a simple meal as a friend. You don't have to be formal."
Gu Chen glanced at Officer Wang.
Officer Wang smiled seriously: "We'd better talk about eating after we ask the situation clearly. If Ms. Zhao Liwen is hungry, you can eat first."
"Thank you." Knowing that the police had a prejudice against her, Zhao Liwen did not force herself. She directly picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine.
Seeing that no one was using chopsticks for the dishes on the table, Zhao Liwen simply picked up the chopsticks, picked up the dishes in front of her, put them into her mouth and chewed them slowly.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, but continued to ask: "What happened next?"
"Then things became much simpler. I told him to leave the place and go as far away as possible. If he wanted, he could transfer his home in Guiyuan to me."
"And Zhang Xuchang is a smart man. He knows that the focus of my words is at the end. I want him to return to his garden and live in the countryside."
"Although I'm reluctant to leave, it's important to save my life. If I stay here, if the village chief finds out, I may die miserably."
"So in the end, he still reluctantly gave up and suddenly chose to transfer Guiyuan Tianju to me, including all trademark registrations."
"Moreover, I also got a very low price, and Zhang Xuchang took the money and left, with hatred, no longer operating Guiyuan Tianju."
"After I took over, I began to use Guiyuan Tianju's own conditions and various operational plans to gradually build the Guiyuan Tianju brand into one of the best B&B brands in the country."
"In recent years, I have incorporated the experience I have accumulated over the years in the industry, focused on the concept of B&B villages, added many internationally popular business concepts, and quickly formed a national chain brand in both self-operated and franchised formats."
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Liwen also said with some helplessness: "But at this time, Zhang Xuchang took the initiative to find me and said that he wanted to become a shareholder in the project. He said that what happened back then had hurt him too much and that he should be given some compensation."
"After I obtained the ownership of Guiyuan Tianju, I also cleared all my photos and videos. It did not pose a threat to him, so he decided to buy some shares or projects of Guiyuan Tianju at a low price."
"After all, this brand is his lifelong regret. It represents his transition from the top to the bottom. He cannot pass this threshold."
"So you were discussing this matter in the bamboo forest yesterday?" Gu Chen said.
"Bamboo forest?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Zhao Liwen's eyes were startled and she hurriedly asked: "Wha... what bamboo forest?"
"This is the bamboo forest where you return to your garden and live in the fields. Yesterday we saw Mr. Zhang Xuchang quarreling with someone deep in the bamboo forest. Wasn't that person you?"
"Yes... right." Zhao Liwen choked up, but nodded and admitted.
Gu Chen asked again: "So, how did you separate after the quarrel yesterday? Did you reach any consensus?"
"Without consensus, it is impossible for me to allow him to become a shareholder in the current 'Guiyuan Tianju' project. Without absolute control over the 'Guiyuan Tianju' project, the 'Guiyuan Tianju' project would not be as large as it is today.
"
"But he invited me to go to Hongyuanli Community today to meet with him and discuss this matter."
"Hongyuanli Community?" After hearing what Zhao Liwen said, Officer Wang was startled and asked hurriedly: "So, you have been to Hongyuanli Community, right?"
"That's right." Zhao Liwen nodded and admitted, but quickly retorted: "But I drove to the vicinity of Hongyuanli and went back the same way, because I decided that I would no longer argue with him about this matter."
"The 'Guiyuan Tianju' B&B village brand belongs to me, and no one can take it away from me."
"So I thought about it in the car for a long time, and finally I didn't go to Hongyuanli Community and drove back the same way."
"You didn't go up?" Gu Chen hesitated when he heard this.
But Zhao Liwen said resolutely: "Of course I haven't been there. I didn't go to the place Zhang Xuchang mentioned at all."
"Because I know that if he calls me here, he's definitely up to no good. He also specifically told me that I can only come here alone. If he wants to do something bad to me, wouldn't I be in danger?"
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm herself down, Zhao Liwen added: "So, I sat in the car for a long time and thought about it for a long time. I felt that I shouldn't go there alone. I felt like this was a Hongmen Banquet."
"So, I just walked back the way I came without saying hello, and that's it."
Listening to Zhao Liwen's story, although Gu Chen knew what kind of grudges there were between Zhao Liwen and Zhang Xuchang, Zhao Liwen also went to Hongyuanli Community, but did not go up.
Gu Chen couldn't confirm this, so he asked Zhao Liwen: "When did you go to Hongyuanli Community?"
"About 1:30 noon, I didn't pay attention to the specifics. Anyway, I parked near Hongyuanli Community and sat in the car and thought about it for a long time, but in the end I didn't go in." Zhao Liwen said.
Gu Chen recorded these in the record and asked: "Did you park the car outside Hongyuanli or somewhere?"
"Periphery."
"Where is the location?" Gu Chen asked again.
"On the side of the road, maybe somewhere near Hongyuanli, I didn't pay attention to the details," Zhao Liwen said.
Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to record these situations in the record.
But at the same time, it is also very clear that around 1:30 yesterday noon, the entire Hongyuanli community, as well as the surrounding roads, were all in a power outage.
Zhao Liwen entered the Hongyuanli community at this time, and it was obvious that surveillance could not capture her.
She said she didn't go up, but who knew? Even the two old security guards who played chess didn't care about what was going on outside.
Almost only she knew whether Zhao Liwen went upstairs or not.
But at present, Gu Chen can't provide any conclusive evidence, so he can only reluctantly believe it for the time being, but he still remains skeptical.
After recording all the circumstances, Gu Chen asked her: "Where have you been in the past few days?"
"Except for attending my cousin's wedding and busy helping to purchase supplies, the rest of the time, I basically stayed at home, or at my Guiyuan Rural B&B village. I didn't go anywhere."
"Okay." Gu Chen recorded all this, looked up at her and said, "I hope everything you said is true. If there is any suspicion of deception, you know the consequences."
"Haha." Feeling that Gu Chen was threatening her, Zhao Liwen just grinned but didn't care: "Gu Chen, although we have met once, I can see that you are very serious about your work."
"But one thing I have to tell you is that I am just an ordinary woman. I just want to live a good life and I don't want to cause trouble."
"If Zhang Xuchang hadn't found me recently, I might have even forgotten about this matter, really."
"I just want to live an ordinary life, so please don't bother me anymore, okay? I just want to work hard."
"As long as you don't break the law, no one will cause trouble for you." Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and continued to ask: "By the way, do you know who Zhang Xuchang has had trouble with recently besides his conflicts with you?"
"Haha." Zhao Liwen laughed dryly and shook her head in denial: "I don't care about other people's affairs. You don't need to ask me about this matter. I don't know if you ask me."
"Thank you." Knowing that it was difficult to ask Zhao Liwen any other questions, Gu Chen packed up his belongings, stood up and said:
"Thank you for your cooperation. If you need to report anything else to us, please call this number."
Gu Chen handed over three sets of office business cards in his hand.
Zhao Liwen stood up, caught it with both hands, and politely replied: "I will do it."
Gu Chen and everyone nodded silently, and everyone turned to leave.
Zhao Liwen followed behind, also trying to persuade her to stay: "Don't you want to leave until you finish dinner?"
However, these words did not save any police officers.
Zhao Liwen could only silently watch Gu Chen and others slowly leave, and then walked into the private room alone.
Suddenly, Zhao Liwen was stunned and lifted the table and turned it outwards.
In an instant, the red wine and dishes on the table shattered to the ground, and various glass shattering sounds occurred one after another.
The waitresses who heard the commotion were immediately frightened and hurried over.
When they saw Zhao Liwen walking out of the private room with a deathly expression on her face, the two waitresses were immediately frightened and did not dare to say a word. They could only watch dryly as the boss's desolate figure left.
…
…
On the other side, when Gu Chen and his team bought some sesame seeds on the roadside to satisfy their hunger, He Junchao's call came to Gu Chen's mobile phone.
Gu Chen, who was standing on the side of the road, put down the sesame cakes and immediately picked up the phone and asked, "Brother He, what's going on?"
"Gu Chen, you asked me to trace Zhao Liwen's activities in recent days, and I made some new discoveries."
"Tell me about it." As he spoke, Gu Chen leaned against the car and took a bite of a big sesame seed cake.
He Junchao replied seriously: "This Zhao Liwen's activities are relatively fixed, including her home and the Guiyuan Tianju Bed and Breakfast Village."
"But I found that the only irregular whereabouts were the days when she participated in the wedding."
"It was her cousin's wedding, and she was responsible for organizing all the arrangements." Gu Chen reminded, and then took another bite of sesame seed cake.
He Junchao also agreed: "I know this, because judging from her whereabouts these days, she has been organizing various matters to purchase wedding supplies."
"Most of the time, I was either communicating with the wedding company or purchasing goods in the market, but there was a period of surveillance that I found very suspicious."
"Tell me about it." Gu Chen asked him as he continued to eat sesame seed cakes.
He Junchao sighed and said with some confusion: "Just the night before the wedding, she parked her car in an empty parking lot outside a market. That kind of place is relatively remote."
"I just can't understand why she parked her car there so late at night if she didn't park it in a crowded place? And it's a surveillance blind spot, and she's detained for a long time."
After a pause, He Junchao added: "So I don't understand, what on earth is she doing during this time? Purchasing wedding supplies? It doesn't seem like that."
