Chapter 2209: Increase in Price
As such, Wang Yang hated hearing such words the most.
“So be it that you’re part of the Zhu family. Why are you throwing a temper at me?” Qiao Zijin was frightened by Wang Yang’s angry look. She didn’t say out the words she hid in her heart: You’re surnamed Wang. How are you part of the Zhu family? If daughters and sons were the same, after having her as a daughter, would her mother, who favored sons more than daughters, have made her father give up everything in the army so that she could give birth to a second child? After having two daughters, she quickly wanted sons-in-law.
Daughters were naturally different from sons. Sons bore the same surname as their grandfathers. Once daughters were married off, they followed their husband’s surname. It was different.
“Are you planning to help me or not?” Wang Yang restrained his temper. He obviously knew that Qiao Zijin was stupid but still became angry at her. It looked like he was angered to death by Zhu Chengqi’s will recently that he lost his usual calmness completely.
“Of course!” She wouldn’t be doing this for nothing. By conveying a few words, she would be able to get five million yuan. She wasn’t a fool. How would she not help him? “However, what should I do so that you’ll give me the five million yuan? As long as I convey your words to Qiao Nan, you’ll give me this sum of money?” Was it that easy to get five million yuan?
Upon seeing Wang Yang’s look, Qiao Zijin felt that his conditions shouldn’t be too bad. However, he wasn’t the kind of rich person who would give her five million yuan just for conveying a message. If he was that rich, would Wang Yang have to fight with Qiao Nan for the Zhu family’s inheritance?
“Of course not!” She wanted to get five million yuan just for helping convey a message? Did Qiao Zijin think that her mouth was made of gold? Even if it was really made of gold, it wasn’t that valuable either. “The reason why I got you to help me convey my message is so that Qiao Nan would discuss this with me further and we can negotiate for a result that is acceptable for everyone. As long as things are resolved between Qiao Nan and me, five million yuan would naturally go into your pockets.”
The five million yuan he offered wasn’t something that the Wang family could take out at once. He admitted that he had to take this sum of money from the Zhu family’s inheritance. As such, if Qiao Nan didn’t agree to return the Zhu family’s inheritance to Wang Yang, Wang Yang wouldn’t be able to come up with five million yuan. If that was the case, how would he be able to produce so much money for Qiao Zijin, an insignificant stranger?
“You should understand my words now, right? Do you know what to do? Five million yuan isn’t a small amount. Even if you buy a lottery, you might not be able to win five million yuan in this lifetime. As such, not only do you have to help me ask Qiao Nan out, but you also have to help put in a good word for me such that she would agree to my proposal.”
“…” Qiao Zijin was a little discouraged. She knew that it wouldn’t be so easy to get her hands on the five million yuan. “This isn’t something easy to do, right?”
It’s not as if she didn’t have ears. She understood the meaning in Wang Yang’s words. It was impossible for all of the Zhu family’s inheritance to be given to Qiao Nan. However, Wang Yang was willing to give part of it to Qiao Nan.
Tsk!
With that will around, it was easy for Qiao Nan to take all the inheritance. To not get all the inheritance but to get only a small portion of it after talks? Did Wang Yang think that she was a fool? Or did he think that Qiao Nan was a fool? Perhaps Wang Yang himself was the fool. Who would be willing to agree to this? “I’m not smart, but I’m not that stupid either. Do you think that this is possible?”
If Qiao Nan would agree to such foolish conditions, would she be in such a pitiful state now? Her sister was the chief’s wife but she couldn’t even succeed in being a civil servant.
Wang Yang smiled as well. “Yes, it’s because this isn’t something easy to do that I’m offering a high price of five million yuan for your help. You shouldn’t think that it’s that easy to get your hands on five million yuan, right? If there isn’t any difficulty, would I still need to offer five million yuan? Based on my identity and status, there would be people offering their help even if I don’t pay them a single cent.”
Qiao Zijin became silent at Wang Yang’s words. She couldn’t help but remain quiet as that was the truth. Money didn’t fall from the sky. If she wanted to receive five million yuan, she had to be capable and do some things. Otherwise, if it was so easy to earn money, would she have cared to be a civil servant?
“How is it? Have you considered it well? I think I’ve already said clearly what you have to do. As long as Qiao Nan agrees to my conditions, five million yuan will belong to you. If Qiao Nan disagrees, you’re right. You would have been working for nothing.”
Wang Yang didn’t think that in front of five million yuan, Qiao Zijin would have the consciousness and willpower to reject him. To anyone, five million yuan was a huge sum of money that fell from the sky.
Qiao Zijin’s lips twitched. “I don’t deny that five million yuan sounds like a lot of money. However, if I tell Qiao Nan the words you told me today, will I receive ten million yuan?”
“Haha…” Wang Yang couldn’t stop laughing. “Do you still think that Qiao Nan is a fool like before? You can slowly think about ten million yuan. I take it that you’re not willing to help me? That’s fine. Help has to be voluntary. If you’re unwilling to help, that’s fine. Treat it that I didn’t look for you today. This cup of coffee is my treat. May we never meet again.”
His interaction with Qiao Zijin was only this once. They would never meet again. One had to know that Qiao Zijin was never his only way out. He wasn’t used to betting on the same person or on the same incident.
Seeing that Wang Yang was about to leave, Qiao Zijin’s face changed. No one knew it clearer than Qiao Zijin if Qiao Nan was easy to talk to. If she wanted Qiao Nan to give her fifty thousand yuan now, she would never agree to it, let alone one million yuan or ten million yuan. It was just that under the premise that the Zhu family had left behind a lot of inheritance, even if she would be receiving the five million yuan for nothing, Qiao Zijin couldn’t help but mention the increase in price so that she knew Wang Yang’s bottom line.
Who knew that Wang Yang was so bad-tempered? Upon hearing Qiao Zijin’s words, Wang Yang was no longer willing to talk to Qiao Zijin anymore and wanted to leave. How would Qiao Zijin not be nervous when five million yuan was about to fly away? She hurriedly pulled Wang Yang’s sleeve and got him to sit down. “This isn’t a small matter and you’re asking for so much. How can you be so impatient? If you really think that there is a problem, we can still sit down and discuss it further.”
“Is that your attitude for further discussions?” Wang Yang laughed coldly. “Men must not be greedy. Don’t choke yourself to death. You have to think of what kind of situation you are in now. If I didn’t come looking for you, even if everything in the Zhu family belongs to Qiao Nan, you wouldn’t even have five yuan in your hands, let alone five million yuan.”
