Chapter 396: More Money Than Sense

Fang Tiancheng was considered an old fox who had been around for many years, so how could he not know what she meant? It was fine if there were a few more people. In any case, he was the one who would reap the benefits in the end. Hence, he agreed to this matter without thinking. Both parties revealed a smug expression. After hanging up, Tang Wenyi quickly dialed Xu Xiaojing’s number.

“Xiaojing, can you and Jiacheng come to the capital tomorrow morning? Let me tell you, this is a huge piece of good news. The connection I told you about previously has already succeeded! In other words, my plan will work. However, he wants to meet his partners, so we have to satisfy his request as soon as possible to prevent him from changing his mind. How about that?”

When Xu Xiaojing, who was far away in Shanghai, heard this, she looked at her husband in shock. They thought that it would take a few months for this matter to succeed. They did not expect that since only a few days had passed since they met with Tang Wenyi. This speed might not be too fast, they thought. When did Tang Wenyi become so reliable?

Without thinking too much, she quickly said under Lei Jiacheng’s hint, “Oh, okay! We can definitely rush over within the time you said. At that time, you can just send us the address. But are you sure this is true? I, I just feel like I’m dreaming!”

She was so excited that she even started to stammer. From the looks of it, she really did not think Tang Wenyi was a fool this time. Tang Wenyi, on the other hand, scoffed. No wonder she didn’t rise to the same level as me after so many years. She’s probably only this capable. So what if she really advances herself through this deal?

This is just the beginning. Without a big shot as her backer, who would be willing to get close to Xu Xiaojing?!

However, she did not intend to say this out loud. After all, it had nothing to do with her. Now, she only needed to let these people follow her plan! Thinking of this, she said without hesitation, “Of course. I’m not in the mood to joke with you. If you don’t believe me, you can choose to refuse.

It’s just that that big shot is in a bad mood. If my plan fails because of your ignorance, don’t blame me for dragging you guys down with me. Moreover, don’t think about coming to the capital to develop your Xingwei Medical Group in the future. With that person there, you won’t have an easy time!”

The rest of her words were basically all threats, but the instigator did not feel that she had done anything wrong. She was only being upfront. This time… she did not believe that the couple would reject her unless they had an inflated sense of their own abilities and had no intention of climbing the ladder!

Unexpectedly, an answer quickly came from the other end of the line. “We agree! Since that big shot wants to see us, how can we reject him? It won’t be good if we offend him. Thank you for bringing us such good news. You’ve really helped us a lot. Can I ask if that person has any taboos?”

Taboos?

This was the wrong person to ask. Tang Wenyi had only met Fang Tiancheng once, so how would she know anything about him? However, she couldn’t tell the truth because she didn’t want to lose face in front of her fake friend! With Xu Xiaojing’s personality, she would definitely mock her secretly after knowing!

“… No, there are no taboos. We just have to be careful with our words and actions. It’s best not to say anything ridiculous. Moreover, the thoughts of those in power are not something we can guess. I think we should be careful. Success or failure depends on this!”

She deliberately skipped over the real reason why she had arranged for them to meet. After this couple met Fang Tiancheng, they had to give him a reward even if they didn’t want to! It was impossible to stop halfway! So what if they wanted to settle the score later? The capital was her territory! If they didn’t want to be made to disappear from this world by the Tang family, they had to swallow their anger obediently!

The excited Xu Xiaojing and Lei Jiacheng were completely immersed in the beautiful future, unaware that this was a sugar-coated bullet!

The former swallowed his saliva and said, “I understand! We will arrive in the capital on time. If anything happens on the way and causes us to be late, please help us put in a good word with that big shot. Of course, we will definitely not shortchange you.”

“That’s good. I’ve taken a fancy to a high-end restaurant. The environment is beautiful and quiet, but I don’t have the money to make a reservation. As for my money, I’ve spent it all in order to convince that person. Xiaojing, if you don’t mind, can you reserve for me first? If Mr. Fang cancels the cooperation deal because the restaurant I booked is too low-class, it will be troublesome, right?”

The venue was suggested by the other party and had nothing to do with her! Since someone was willing to help, why should she bear the pain and pay for it herself? She was not a fool. She was quite familiar with doing someone’s bidding in order to advance. After all, politeness would buy no food!

Xu Xiaojing was caught off guard by these words. I was just being humble. Why did Tang Wenyi take me seriously? She instinctively looked at her husband. Lei Jiacheng nodded without hesitation. In any case, he would be earning more money than now. There was no need to be stingy now. Even if it was the most expensive hotel in the capital, he would still choose to fork out money to meet that big shot!

She didn’t know what her husband was thinking. She only knew that she was holding her breath. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, but she didn’t like to be cheated by someone she looked down on! Then she took a deep breath and calmed down a little. She said, “Sure, no problem. As long as you’re satisfied, I’ll transfer the money to you. How much would that be?”

“Five hundred thousand.”

500,000?!

Xu Xiaojing’s pupils constricted in disbelief. Is she trying to rip me off? Isn’t this restaurant in the capital too expensive? She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll transfer it to you now.”

Saying that, she directly transferred a sum of money to Tang Wenyi’s bank account. When the latter saw the amount, she grinned and said, “Just a reminder—if you book a flight now, you’ll definitely arrive on time tomorrow. Otherwise… you won’t be able to make it in time.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up.

When Xu Xiaojing heard these sarcastic words, she wanted to retort. Why was I such a fool? In the end, she glanced around and saw that her husband had already bought the plane tickets. He stood up and was about to walk out of the door. He did not forget to straighten his tie.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaojing quickly followed. Just as she was about to complain, an unfamiliar male voice suddenly interrupted, “Big Brother, Sister-in-law, are you going to the capital to meet our business partner?”
