The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

In the early morning, the warm sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows and fills the entire room.

I leaned lazily on the wicker chair on the balcony, holding a cup of fragrant coffee in my hand, enjoying the moment of tranquility.

Li Yan is busy in the kitchen.

The aroma of food floated into my nose with the breeze.

In the past few days, Li Yan and I have been immersed in the sweetness of our world.

Wandering the streets, visiting scenic spots, and tasting delicious food... We thoroughly enjoyed this short gathering and made up for missing each other.

At this moment, looking at Li Yan's skillful figure in the kitchen, an idea came to my mind.

"Come sit here." I shouted towards the kitchen, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

Li Yan wiped her hands and walked over.

She sat down opposite me, her eyes filled with confusion.

"What's so serious? Didn't we agree not to think about anything these days and just relax?"

I smiled, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"Relax, relax, and think about what you should think about. Especially the important things related to our future."

"Oh?" Li Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at me with interest, "I'd like to hear the details."

I cleared my throat and spoke carefully:

"This time when I come to Malaysia, besides missing you, I actually have another plan."

"I want to start some serious business here. You see, although we are doing well now, it is still vague. If we can take root in Malaysia, we can find a place for ourselves."

When Li Yan heard this, she was startled for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

"Why are you always so restless? You finally came here and you are still thinking about business. Can't you just stay with me without thinking about anything even for a few days?"

There was a hint of embarrassment and dissatisfaction in her tone.

My heart softened, and I quickly stood up and hugged her into my arms.

"Fool, aren't I thinking about our future? Besides, don't I want you to help me take care of it together? In this way, won't we become the best partners and be together every day?"

"Me?" Li Yan's eyes widened in surprise, "You want me to help you?"

"Of course." I smiled and nodded, with a serious look on my face, "Now I want to start a new business. How can I do it without you?"

Li Yan blushed and pushed me away gently.

"Glib talk. I'm a woman, what do I know about business? Besides, I can live a peaceful life here, which is pretty good. If you insist on dragging me into trouble, I won't do it."

I smiled bitterly and held her hand tightly.

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your ability to gain a foothold in a foreign country depends not only on luck, but also on your own ability. I believe that with your help, my development in Malaysia will be smooth sailing."

"Besides, we have shared joys and sorrows together for so many years. Now that I am making a comeback, you are unwilling to walk side by side with me. How embarrassing it is for me."

I pretended to be aggrieved and looked at her with wide eyes.

Li Yan sighed helplessly and glared at me angrily.

"You guys always know how to fool me. Okay, I will reluctantly help you. But don't regret it. If I mess up the business, don't blame me."

"No." I smiled and kissed her forehead, "With you here, what else can't be done?"

In this way, my sincere request and a bit of roguery finally convinced Li Yan.

We spent the next day discussing our development plans in Malaysia.

From industry selection to investment scale, from site selection and feng shui to decoration layout, everything is planned carefully.

After weighing several times, I decided to start with the hotel industry.

Firstly, I am familiar with this industry, and secondly, the funds are withdrawn quickly and the risks are relatively small.

More importantly, it can provide us with the best foothold for our future expansion in Malaysia.

Of course, if we want to expand our territory in a foreign country, it’s not enough for Li Yan and I alone.

We need local connections, more resources and help.

After thinking about it, my eyes fell on An Qingyue.

An Qingyue has been Li Yan's best friend for many years.

She has been doing business in Malaysia for many years, has extensive connections, and is quite famous.

If you can invite her to join the team, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful.

"By the way, what has Qing Yue been busy with recently?" I asked Li Yan casually during dinner one day.

"She seems to be a little troubled recently." Li Yan sighed, "There is something wrong with the company. She is having a headache."

"Oh?" I became interested. "What happened to the company? Do you need help?"

"It seems that there is a problem with the capital chain." Li Yan frowned, "I don't know the details. It is really not easy for her to support the company as a woman."

My eyes lit up and I secretly rejoiced.

This is a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, I pretended to be concerned and said:

"Since Qing Yue is in trouble, we, as friends, can't just sit back and watch. Why don't you invite her to your house for a meal and let's talk in person. See if we can be of any help."

Li Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this: "This is a good idea. I'll call her right now and ask her to come over tomorrow."

At noon the next day, An Qingyue arrived as promised.

As soon as we met, I noticed that she was much more haggard than the last time we met.

Under a pair of beautiful eyes, there was a hint of blue and black, which was obviously caused by business matters.

"Mr. Yang, long time no see." An Qingyue forced a smile, stretched out her hand and shook my hand.

I quickly and enthusiastically welcomed her into the room and said with a smile: "Qingyue, we are all our own people, so don't be more 'Mr. Yang' than 'Mr. Yang'. Just call me Yang Lei."

An Qingyue was a little embarrassed, but still nodded.

It was a pleasant meal.

Li Yan cooked a table of Malaysian specialties, which were spicy and full of color, flavor and aroma.

Everyone was talking to each other, joking and talking. At the dinner table, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, I invited An Qingyue to sit in the study.

Li Yan understood and took the initiative to stay in the restaurant to clean up.

"You came to me not just to catch up on old times, right?" An Qingyue asked straight to the point while sitting on the sofa.

I smiled and poured her a cup of tea.

"Qing Yue, you are a smart person, let me tell you the truth. I heard from Li Yan that you have encountered some troubles in your business recently? Is there a problem with your funds?"

An Qingyue's face darkened, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"It seems that I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I've been in a bit of trouble recently. One of the company's projects went wrong in the middle. The capital chain is broken and it's about to collapse."

Obviously, this topic touched her heart.

I quickly comforted: "Don't be discouraged. Who doesn't have ups and downs in the business world? The key is to see how you deal with it."

"Coping?" An Qingyue smiled bitterly, "As a woman, how can I cope? I just piece together everything and barely survive."

I gave her a meaningful look and said slowly: "Actually, you don't have to hold on alone. In business, sometimes it's a good idea to rely on external help."

"External force?" An Qingyue seemed to realize something, "What do you mean..."

"That's right." I smiled and nodded, "I mean, why don't we cooperate and get through the difficulties together and embrace a brighter future."

An Qingyue was startled for a moment, then shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"You think too highly of me. I can't protect myself now, so how can I be qualified to cooperate with you? Besides, what can I bring to you?"

I said seriously: "You are too modest. You have extensive connections and rich experience in Malaysia. These are things I don't have. I want to start a career here, and there is no more suitable partner than you."

I paused and said in a sincere tone: "As for your current predicament, in my opinion, it is only temporary. As long as you are willing to join forces with me, I promise to help you overcome the difficulties and get back on your feet!"

An Qingyue was moved, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I understand your suggestion. But, I really..."

"Don't think too much." I interrupted her with a firm tone, "We run this business together and share the interests. You are not a charity from me, but a true partner."

"Besides, my future development in Malaysia will depend on your connections. You helped me, and I helped you. This is called mutual benefit and win-win, and it is only natural."

An Qingyue looked at me with complicated eyes. After a long while, she sighed and nodded slowly.

"Okay, I promise you. Let's do something together!"

In this way, Li Yan, An Qingyue and I reached a consensus on cooperation.

The next day, we started making intensive preparations.

Site selection, evaluation, design, budget... each link is being carried out in an orderly manner.
