Chapter VIII: Extortion
At one o'clock in the afternoon, in the most luxurious private room of Shanshui Hotel, Bai Wanqing finally waited for Cheng Wanhao, who was late.
"I'm really sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, which makes Miss Bai wait for a long time."
Cheng Wanhao said that he was embarrassed, but he couldn't hear the slightest apology, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what he meant.
"Cheng can always appreciate his face and go to the banquet, he is already very face-saving, take a seat, let's talk while eating."
People had to bow their heads under the eaves and wait for nearly an hour, but Bai Wanqing was still smiling despite her displeasure.
Accompanying Cheng Wanhao is a bodyguard, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with bronzed skin and strong muscles, and looks like a well-trained martial arts master.
Li Ruochen glanced twice and then retracted his gaze, this big man may not be weak, but it is not enough to pose a threat to him.
After a while, the wine and food were served, and neither side moved their chopsticks.
"I won't eat the meal, I don't think Miss Bai is in the mood to taste the food at the moment." Cheng Wanhao crossed Erlang's legs, acting like a big man: "I have only one request, the Bai family will pay 50 million as compensation for my son." ”
"It can't be!" Bai Wanqing didn't want to think about it and refused without hesitation.
Although the Bai family has a big business, 50 million is not a small amount, and she has no right to mobilize such a large amount of cash.
In addition, the Bai Group is preparing a large project in the near future, and the liquidity is limited, and the family elders will never allow her to do this.
"Miss Bai, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, Bai Zhiyu broke one of my son's legs, and I will reciprocate his legs, you should think about it."
"Is there really no room for negotiation at all?"
Bai Wanqing's face was ugly, she had never been so passive as she was now, but considering Bai Zhiyu's safety, she didn't dare to tear her face with the other party.
"Isn't my son's leg worth fifty million?" Cheng Wanhao narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I have enough face for the Bai family, fifty million steel hammers are indispensable, otherwise Bai Zhiyu will live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!" ”
Jiang is still old and spicy, Cheng Wanhao took the initiative at the beginning, and a little intimidation made Bai Wanqing mentally disordered.
She had already lost the negotiation.
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded.
"It's just a broken leg, and it's not a cripple, and it costs 50 million to open your mouth, isn't this a clear extortion?"
It was Li Ruochen who spoke, and from the beginning of the dinner to the present, this was the first time he spoke.
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Wanhao's face suddenly darkened: "Young man, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, and if you say the wrong thing, you will cause big trouble!" ”
Bai Wanqing was also taken aback, and hurriedly glared at Li Ruochen: "You shut up for me!" ”
Cheng Wanhao expected that Bai Wanqing would not dare to turn his face, and said in a cold tone: "Miss Bai, your friend's words make me very unhappy, if you also think that I am blackmailing, then there is no need for us to talk about it anymore!" ”
"Mr. Cheng, my friend is not very good at talking, don't worry about him generally." Bai Wanqing was afraid of extraneous branches, so she stubbornly said: "According to what you said, 50 million compensation, but I don't have so much cash on hand, you give me three days to raise money." ”
"Miss Bai is really a sensible person." Cheng Wanhao's tone changed, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "Then let's make a decision, and I will release the person immediately after receiving the money." ”
When the dust settled, Cheng Wanhao quickly offered to leave, and Bai Wanqing sent people out of the private room, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
With her ability, 50 million gritted her teeth can still make it up, but she will lose a lot of money in vain, and she will inevitably be unwilling.
"Why did you deliberately provoke Cheng Wanhao, I wanted to talk to him again, maybe I could pay less compensation, but now it's okay, it's all for you to mess up!"
In the face of Bai Wanqing's complaints, Li Ruochen did not say anything, and silently acted as her punching bag.
He has always felt guilty about this nominal fiancée, and it is nothing to be wronged.
In fact, Bai Wanqing also knew in her heart that it was basically impossible for Cheng Wanhao to give in, but she felt a little better when she vented like this.
Sullen and walked out of the private room, Bai Wanqing thought about how to make up the money, and Li Ruochen found an excuse to go to the toilet, and sent a text message on the way.
In less than ten minutes, the mobile phone received a detailed information about Cheng Wanhao, Li Ruochen quickly browsed it, and walked out of the toilet quickly.
When he walked to the elevator entrance, he saw Bai Wanqingzheng talking and laughing with a handsome young man, and seemed to be chatting happily.
"This is my high school classmate Liu Zifeng, who just returned from studying in the United States." Bai Wanqing gave Li Ruochen a brief introduction, turned to Liu Zifeng and said, "My fiancé Li Ruochen." ”
Hearing the word "fiancé", Liu Zifeng's face changed slightly, and he immediately returned to nature, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li can get the favor of our class flower, presumably he is the dragon and phoenix among people, I don't know where he is tall?" ”
Li Ruochen shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "I also just came back from abroad and am currently unemployed." ”
"Could it be that Mr. Li is studying abroad like me?" Liu Zifeng raised his eyebrows and pretended to say casually: "I'm at Stanford University, which prestigious school Mr. Li is studying in, maybe we are still alumni." ”
Li Ruochen looked at him deeply: "I haven't even studied in college, where are the alumni." ”
"You didn't go to college?!" Liu Zifeng's expression was quite weird, and he couldn't understand how Bai Wanqing could fall in love with an illiterate person.
"I don't even have a college degree, it's definitely not easy to find a job, if you need help, just ask, I still have some connections in the provincial capital, and you can choose a job with a monthly salary of 5,000." Liu Zifeng pretended to be heroic.
Originally, he had no hope of pursuing Bai Wanqing, but now compared with Li Ruochen, Liu Zifeng was surprised to find that he was better than his opponent in all aspects, and it seemed that he was not without a chance.
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became hot, and he looked at Li Ruochen with a faint contempt in his eyes.
I thought I was good enough to see a lot of people, Li Ruochen didn't bother with him, and said lightly: "I can find a job by myself and don't bother Mr. Liu." ”
In Liu Zifeng's view, this reaction is a manifestation of weakness and inferiority, so he is even more energetic.
"For us returnees, a monthly salary of 5,000 is not worth mentioning, and I can't hide it, I have signed a contract with a multinational company with an annual salary of 2 million!"
While speaking, Liu Zifeng's afterglow glanced towards Bai Wanqing, and the meaning of showing off was overflowing.
Bai Wanqing, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two, and her brows furrowed slightly into two pimples.
Of course, she could hear the superiority in Liu Zifeng's words, and she felt uncomfortable, but considering that she was an old classmate, she had to remain silent.
A rare opportunity to perform in front of the goddess, Liu Zifeng patted his chest and said: "Wanqing, you can rest assured, your brother's business is on me, and my second uncle works in the Patrol Bureau, this matter is a piece of cake for him." ”
"Really?" Bai Wanqing's eyes lit up with hope, and she was a little embarrassed: "Will it cause you trouble?" ”
"Of course not, I'll call the second uncle."
Bai Wanqing's excited expression greatly satisfied Liu Zifeng's vanity, and he walked aside with his mobile phone excitedly.
"Second uncle, I have something to trouble you, I have a friend who offended a ...... named Cheng Wanhao"
"What? Offended Cheng Wanhao? Stay away from that friend of yours so as not to get into trouble, I still have some urgent business to deal with, so be it. ”
The second uncle casually found an excuse to hang up the phone, and didn't give Liu Zifeng a chance to speak again, which made him look confused.
After being stunned for half a minute, Liu Zifeng finally reacted, and the second uncle with great magical powers did not dare to provoke Cheng Wanhao!
Among all the people he knew, the second uncle was the best, and now he couldn't come in handy, Liu Zifeng was suddenly embarrassed.
Just now I was ashamed to say that it was just a piece of cake, and I was going to break my promise in a few minutes, isn't this a slap in the face?
"Zifeng, what did your second uncle say?" Bai Wanqing walked over and asked hopefully.
"This ...... My second uncle said that when he finishes dealing with the matter at hand, he will intercede for you, and it shouldn't be a big problem. The corners of Liu Zifeng's mouth twitched, and his expression was not very natural.
As soon as she heard that things had taken a turn for the better, Bai Wanqing immediately said with gratitude: "Thanks to you this time, when the matter is resolved, I will invite you to dinner!" ”
Liu Zifeng's clumsy acting skills deceived Bai Wanqing, but he couldn't escape Li Ruochen's fiery eyes, but he didn't debunk it in public, and stood by silently.
Back at the hotel where he stayed, Li Ruochen hesitated, and finally decided to remind: "Do you really believe that Liu Zifeng can help?" ”
"Why don't I believe it? Do you think everyone is as useless as you are? Bai Wanqing didn't have a good airway.
After saying that, she regretted it, and secretly blamed herself for not speaking in this tone, it hurt her self-esteem too much, but she couldn't pull her face down to apologize because of her arrogant personality.
