Chapter 51 - 49: Cunning Tricks of Ghosts
When Wu Li learned from Liu Yuanbo that Li Jun also had shares in the boxing gym, he roughly guessed why Li Jun was targeting him.
Liu Yuanbo and his father made a bet that if by next June, the gym’s revenue still couldn’t surpass that of the fitness club, he would give up the gym and obediently go back to inherit the family fortune...
Who would then take over the gym? With an annual income of over a million, would it simply be declared bankrupt? Considering that Li Jun also had shares in the gym, things became clear; Wu Li surmised that Liu Yuanbo’s father had most likely promised Li Jun that, once Liu Yuanbo left, he would hand the gym over to him.
Liu Yuanbo’s father had placed Li Jun by his son’s side, ostensibly to assist him, but covertly he had made such a promise to Li Jun. The naive Liu Yuanbo’s chances of winning against his father were slim, hence the saying that the older, the wiser.
For Li Jun, everything had been going smoothly; in another half-year, he would have complete ownership of a boxing gym. However, at this juncture, Wu Li suddenly appeared and even acquired a 5% share!
In Li Jun’s eyes, he had long regarded the gym as his personal property. Wu Li taking shares was akin to taking money right out of his pocket, so whom else would he target if not Wu Li?
Moreover, with Wu Li suddenly getting involved, it seemed quite possible that he could significantly boost the gym’s reputation. At that point, Liu Yuanbo would have a reason to continue operating the gym, and the "duck" that was nearly in Li Jun’s hands would fly away—an outcome he absolutely could not tolerate.
...
After modifying the supplementary agreement and having Wu Li sign it, Li Jun headed to Sky Entertainment Media Co., Ltd. in the afternoon.
