"What a Jiang Mengxin, quite capable," Su Ru said loudly. "Then what is the purpose of the Jiang family head's visit at this time?"
Jiang Mengxin replied loudly, "I heard that my good sister was swindled out of a hundred million this morning. Is that true?"
Su Ru nodded. "Yes."
"Well, I came for this very reason," Jiang Mengxin said to everyone. "I, Jiang Mengxin, will bear the loss of one hundred million! For my good sister, I accept!"
Whoosh—
Everyone present was astonished.
A hundred million was not a small sum of money. Many people could not earn a hundred million in their lifetime, yet Jiang Mengxin said she would bear it.
Such spirit.
To have such a good sister was indeed a blessing in life!
Su Wanran's tears could no longer be held back, falling down one by one. However, this time they were not tears of sadness and despair, but tears of happiness.
Although good sisters would quarrel, it could not sever their sisterly bond.
Instead, it made them even stronger!
"Mengxin, thank you, thank you," Su Wanran said, incredibly moved.
The employees present also applauded, praising Jiang Mengxin's responsibility and their deep sisterly affection.
The situation was turning increasingly unfavorable.
Su Ru's expression was uncertain, sensing danger.
At this moment.
Shen Dianlan stepped forward and said coldly, "Family head Jiang, you are truly kind-hearted. However, your kindness is appreciated by our Su family. We do not need you to bear the one hundred million."
You want to take responsibility?
You want to show your sisterly affection?
Bah, not giving you the chance!
Jiang Mengxin was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "Why?"
Shen Dianlan explained, "It's very simple. One hundred million is just a small amount. If your Jiang family has it, does our Su family not have it? One hundred million is not an unbearable amount for our Su family. The reason I blamed Wanran and asked her to apologize is not because I begrudge the money, but to punish Wanran for her mistake!"
"This time she lost a hundred million due to carelessness; if she is careless again next time, will she lose the entire Su family?"
"The money is not important, what is important is that she admits her mistake!"
Her words left Jiang Mengxin speechless.
Yes.
They didn't care about a hundred million; they simply wanted Su Wanran to admit her mistake.
It was that simple.
Therefore, you, Jiang Mengxin, wanting to bear the hundred million and take the blame for Su Wanran, could not do it! Because it was not you who made the mistake, you could not take the blame even if you wanted to.
The older one is, the wiser one is.
Jiang Mengxin thought she had helped Su Wanran out of her predicament, but who would have thought she would ultimately lose to Shen Dianlan.
Shen Dianlan coughed and said, "Wanran, I hope you can appreciate your grandmother's good intentions. Come, apologize to all the employees!"
Having reached this point, there was no room for negotiation.
Su Wanran sighed. At this moment, she was not as despairing as before; she felt much more at ease because she had felt Jiang Mengxin's goodwill.
With such a sister, what did it matter even if she lost her position as family head?
An apology was an apology.
It was nothing.
Just as Su Wanran picked up the microphone and was about to speak to apologize to all the employees, two more figures walked in through the main entrance.
Two men.
Everyone saw clearly that the two men were both acquaintances.
One was Lu Ming.
The other was... Xiao Teng!
"Look, isn't that Xiao Teng? The swindler who cheated our company out of one hundred million!"
"Yes, it's him."
"Damn it, he actually has the nerve to come to our company. Let's kill this bastard!"
A group of people surged forward, their fists clenched, ready to give Xiao Teng a good beating. But to everyone's surprise, Xiao Teng immediately raised his hands and surrendered on the spot.
Xiao Teng said loudly, "Everyone, everyone, please calm down. I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to apologize."
Oh?
Everyone looked at each other.
Those who knew of Xiao Teng in Fog City knew that he was a person who would not do anything without profit, and he loved to take advantage.
For him to apologize?
Heh, pigs might fly!
Someone stepped forward and cursed, "Xiao Teng, you dog, you're not satisfied with cheating us out of a hundred million, and you still want to cheat more? You dog, I'll beat you to death!"
The person grabbed a low stool and threw it.
Behind them.
Lu Ming kicked out, sending the stool flying. The employee who threw it was also sent flying, tumbling several times on the ground.
Lu Ming's skills were still as reliable as ever.
This time, everyone was even more dumbfounded.
"No, what does this mean? Why is Lu Ming helping Xiao Teng?"
"Damn, he's a traitor!"
"You traitorous dog, brothers, let's beat him!"
They said they would beat Lu Ming, but none of them dared to make a move. Everyone in the company was well aware of Lu Ming's terrifying combat power.
If you don't want to die, don't move rashly.
On stage.
Shen Dianlan stared at Lu Ming and questioned, "Lu Ming, why did you bring that damned swindler Xiao Teng to our Su family?"
Lu Ming chuckled and said, "Old Madam, please do not be anxious. Let me explain slowly. I also heard that Boss Xiao swindled the Su family out of one hundred million this morning with a worthless project. I was surprised that such a thing could happen in broad daylight. So, I found Boss Xiao. After some questioning, I learned that it was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
What nonsense?
A misunderstanding?
Lu Ming continued, "Boss Xiao actually has two projects: one is the profitable Ji Hong, worth far more than one hundred million; the other is the money-losing Ji Hong, worth less than a million. Boss Xiao originally intended to sign the profitable Ji Hong with Wanran, not the money-losing Ji Hong; but he was nervous and brought the wrong contract, and both parties spent one hundred million to sign the money-losing Ji Hong project. Wanran didn't notice, and Boss Xiao didn't notice."
"However... after my reminder, Boss Xiao has realized his mistake. And so, at Boss Xiao's strong request, he asked me to bring him to the Su family to apologize sincerely and re-sign the contract."
Lu Ming pushed Xiao Teng forward, saying, "The rest is up to you, Boss Xiao."
Xiao Teng wished he could cry.
This was not him asking to come back, but being forced back by Lu Ming.
With those rows of dark guns pointed at him, could he dare to say "no"?
Cough.
Xiao Teng coughed twice and said as Lu Ming instructed, "Yes, it is exactly as Mr. Lu said. It was my mistake with the contract that caused trouble for Director Su. After realizing my mistake, I immediately came back to apologize. Director Su, I am willing to re-sign the contract with you, and the price will only be... one-tenth of the original!"
As he uttered the words "one-tenth," Xiao Teng's heart bled. He almost collapsed.
Originally, one hundred million was not a high price for the Ji Hong project.
Now, he was only asking for one-tenth.
Heh, it was practically giving it away for free!
But then again, who told him to deceive Su Wanran in the first place? This was the price of fraud!
