11. Extortion

Make an offer?

I'm all too familiar with this opening line, because there are so many similar scenes in the movie. Generally, decent people will shoot up when they hear the bad guy say this, and angrily denounce the bad guy with righteousness and awe.

However, the movie is the movie, the reality is the reality. As much as I think I'm a decent person, I also like money, and most importantly, I don't want to offend someone I obviously can't afford to mess with. So in the spirit of being a hero and not suffering from the loss in front of me, I opened five fingers at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao was stunned, "Fifty thousand? ”

"Too much?"

"No, no, no." Jiang Tao waved his hand again and again.

"You think I'm going to be less?"

"To be honest, it's a little less than others."

"Someone else? Who are they? ”

"Given who you are, I can't say this to you with all due respect."

"Does that mean I can ask anything else?" I looked at Jiang Tao's face that was always smiling, trying to find what was hidden behind that smile.

But Jiang Tao didn't show any flaws because of my question, and still nodded with a smile: "You just ask." ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "I don't think your accent is like that of the Northeast." ”

"I'm from Henan."

"All the way to Heilongjiang to work?"

"I can't help it! I couldn't find a job after graduating from college, and the wealthy Mr. Wang had a little friendship with my grandfather, so I asked my grandfather's relationship to defect to him, and I became the vice president in a daze. ”

"yes, you seem to be in luck."

"Yes, yes, I'm just lucky."

Jiang Tao's fake modesty really made me feel disgusting, and I was tired of asking these innocuous questions, so I turned to the topic and said, "You shouldn't be strangers to Hong Shikun and Sun Zhongqing, right?" The two of them just got a lot of money, and they all died in less than a week after turning around, what do you think of Mr. Jiang? ”

Jiang Tao shook his head and chuckled, "I knew you would ask this question, but in fact, this is the main reason why I asked you to come over today." ”

"You killed them?" I asked directly.

"Haha, Mr. Ray, you really tell jokes, why should I kill them both? It's just that Mr. Wang's house has a few walls that I want to paint, so I found two in the decorator and feel that Jishu is not bad. If it weren't for that Boss Huang mentioning it to me today, I wouldn't even know that these two people were dead. ”

"Can you make 300,000 by painting a few walls?" I asked.

"That's actually a misunderstanding. You may not know that Mr. Wang is ninety-three years old this year, and when people reach that age, they are prone to overflow with compassion, and they especially want to do good deeds and accumulate more yin virtue. Mr. Wang said that Sun Zhongqing was not easy, his girlfriend was pregnant and had no money to get married, so he promised Sun Zhongqing 200,000 yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. Sun Zhongqing is 200,000 yuan, and Hong Shikun, who came with him, can't be too few, so the old man waved his hand and went out for another 100,000 yuan, I really can't stop it. ”

"So what you want to tell me is that the deaths of Hong Shikun and Sun Zhongqing have nothing to do with you?"

"It really doesn't matter at all, I can swear." As he spoke, Jiang Tao raised the middle three fingers at me.

"I swear no, and I don't believe in that. I just don't understand a little, since you have nothing to do with the death of these two people, then weishenme still deliberately spends money to settle me? ”

Jiang Tao smiled lightly again, looked at the kid on the other side of the conference table, and then said to me: "Mr. Lei is very well-connected, and I guess I have heard of it, there was a murder case in my hotel two years ago, the murderer has been arrested, and the case has been closed, but the brothers on the road are rumoring that the murderer is me." I'm a good person, sitting upright and not afraid of being checked, but the investigation two years ago did cost the hotel nearly one million, and I don't want to turn over the old things from two years ago because of the misunderstanding of the two decorators. ”

Jiang Tao has obviously explained everything. In terms of acting skills alone, Jiang Tao is much more clever than Boss Huang, because he has only one expression like a professional gambler from beginning to end, so I can't see what he is thinking at all. But I don't believe any of what he says.

Regardless of whether this is my preconceived subjective bias or not, I just think that this Jiang Tao is lying to me.

But I also have things that I can't be sure about. In the end, Jiang Tao wanted to hide the murder case two years ago? Or is it a pretext to use the murder case two years ago as a pretext to divert my attention from Hong Shikun and Sun Zhongqing? Or does he want to kill two birds with one stone?

I was pondering Jiang Tao's intentions here, but Jiang Tao didn't give me time to think, he urged: "Mr. Lei, do you have any other questions?" If not, I'll ask my secretary to write you a check. With that, Jiang Tao began to take out his mobile phone.

"Wait." I quickly raised my hand to stop his movements, and then said, "I regret it, the price I asked for just now was a bit low, since it is a business involving several millions, I think I have to double it again, right?" And I'm not used to checks, so it's better to give me cash. ”

Since I can't figure out what tricks Jiang Tao is playing, I simply knocked him hard, at least let the kid not follow him in vain this time.

Jiang Tao still smiled and nodded in agreement, and then called his secretary to confirm the money.

I waited for about twenty minutes, and at almost three o'clock, Hai Mimi knocked on the door and entered the conference room, still carrying a small black bag. I'm still relatively knowledgeable about money, I don't need points, and I know that it should be 100,000 yuan when I look at the size of the bag.

So when Jiang Tao put the small bag in front of me and asked me to order it, I didn't order it at all, just took the bag and got up to say goodbye.

Jiang Tao didn't hold back or stop me, and after shaking my hand, he sent me to the elevator.

When I got out of the elevator, passed through the lobby on the first floor, and walked out of the office building, I felt that the big stone that had been pressing on my chest disappeared in an instant, I don't know if it was an illusion, I even felt that my breathing was much smoother than before.

At this time, the boy patted me on the shoulder, looked at me with bright eyes and sighed, "Okay, you! I really don't see it, you really have the guts! You are this, I serve you! The boy gave me a thumbs up.

I thought it was funny.

How can I have the guts? At best, the ignorant are fearless! Jiang Tao may show his fierce side when dealing with social people like the kid, but he has always behaved like a businessman who is well versed in the world in front of me, so I naturally have nothing to fear.

But I didn't tell the boy what was in my heart. After responding to his admiration for me with a smile, I opened the small black bag again, took out five stacks of hairy grandpa from it and handed it to the kid and said, "You take this, don't push it with me, you deserve it." ”

"Exquisite!" The kid really didn't say anything polite to me, he stretched out his hand and took the money, and then his eyes were wide and his expression was very serious and he said to me: "Your friend and my kid have made up your mind, if you have any difficulties in the future, just open your mouth, brother, I will stick a knife in your ribs!" The kid slapped his chest hard as he spoke.
