99: This doesn't count as extortion, does it?

Wu Fan watched Pan Shiting walk into a certain store... He couldn't help but take a puff of his cigarette. This woman really knows how to have fun...

She had already learned all the ins and outs of Sakura Country... Wu Fan arrived at the luggage room on the first floor of the hotel.

He scratched his head, looking at the neatly arranged tea gift boxes.

He had to find a way to sell these; keeping them piled up here wasn't a solution.

It would be best to sell them to companies or businesses as New Year's goods for their employees. The demand would be relatively larger, and if he could clear them all at once, that would be even more perfect.

It's just that the price of this tea is a bit high, 5888 per box. What ordinary company would give such an expensive benefit to its employees?

Wu Fan's first thought was of the travel agency Boss Gu Ling.

This woman was obsessed with money and had made a lot over the years.

If he could make her bleed a little, he would definitely feel very comfortable.

But she was so stingy, it wouldn't be easy.

He suddenly remembered the intimate photos he had taken of Gu Ling and Old Man Jin Qiang when they came out of Xinyue Bay Resort Hotel.

He slapped his thigh, an idea forming in his mind.

"I have a way to deal with this stingy CEO Gu. I must make her bleed a little."

He pulled out his phone and sent Gu Ling a wechat message, "CEO Gu, are you busy?"

Wu Fan had already finished a cigarette before she replied, "Manager Wu, it's rare for you to send me a wechat. Is something wrong?"

Gu Ling was not only stingy but also had a habit of being hard to reach by phone and wechat.

Anyway, she was the only one who would contact you; if you contacted her, you had to wait half a day, and she might even reply in the middle of the night.

To make money, she was full of energy, often staying up late, busy with who knows what.

"CEO Gu, has the company prepared New Year's goods for employees this year?"

Gu Ling looked at her phone screen, stunned for a moment. What exactly did Wu Fan mean by that?

Did whether or not she prepared New Year's goods have anything to do with him? Was he going to make a suggestion?

"New Year's goods haven't been prepared yet. I don't know what to give. Why? Do you have a good idea?"

Wu Fan chuckled and replied, "Yes, I highly recommend a good product. It would definitely be a classy year-end benefit for employees."

Gu Ling frowned, thinking, "What is Wu Fan up to? Selling products to me? This is getting out of hand."

She suppressed her anger and asked, "Go ahead and tell me, what good thing is it?"

Wu Fan picked up a tea gift box, took a photo, and sent it over, "Good tea from Hangzhou, original price 5888. I can give it to you at a wholesale price of 5000 per box. It's high-end, elegant, and classy. CEO Gu, what do you think?"

Gu Ling sneered to herself, muttering, "Wu Fan must be crazy. Such expensive tea as New Year's goods for employees? I wouldn't even buy it for myself!"

She flatly refused, "Wu Fan, the price is too high. Our small company can't afford it. You'll have to think of another way. I'm really sorry."

Wu Fan had long expected her to say that. He didn't answer directly but immediately sent several intimate photos of her and Jin Qiang.

After waiting a few seconds, he said, "Why don't you help me ask Boss Jin? His company is so big, with so many employees. Would he want tea gift boxes?"

When Gu Ling saw these photos, she was instantly stunned for a while.

Where did he get these? What should she do?

After all, she was a person of some standing in Island City. If these got out, where would she put her face?

She wasn't even married yet. If rumors spread like wildfire, it would be difficult.

Although rumors about her and Old Man Jin had long circulated in Island City, they were just rumors. Once these photos got out, it would be solid proof.

She looked at the photos, and her whole body flushed.

She paced around for several circles before replying, "Wu Fan, where did you get these photos? Can you delete them?"

Wu Fan didn't respond to her question but continued to press, "CEO Gu, do you think you need the tea gift boxes? Or why don't you and CEO Jin discuss it and have him take them all?"

Gu Ling said helplessly, "Small problem, I'll decide for him on the tea gift boxes. I'll take them all. How many do you have?"

"Not many, just a hundred boxes."

Gu Ling sighed, "Alright, but Boss Wu, can you give me a better price?"

"When did you start a side business selling tea?"

Wu Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Gu Ling was something else. Even at this point, she was still trying to haggle the price. She was truly a genius.

Anyway, selling them meant pure profit, so it didn't matter, "How about this, 4500 yuan per box. I won't make a single cent, selling them to you at a loss. Is that okay?"

Gu Ling replied, "Deal. But can you completely delete your photos?"

Wu Fan replied, "I will keep these photos permanently, and I won't send them to a second person. You can rest assured."

Gu Ling's face turned pale, feeling as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

But now that Wu Fan held the leverage, what could she do?

She replied weakly, "Alright, but you have to keep your word."

"CEO Gu, we haven't known each other for just a day or two. I'm an honest person; I won't spread it. When will you pay for these gift boxes?"

Wu Fan didn't care anymore and started asking for money. He just wanted to annoy her and make her uncomfortable.

Gu Ling felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard to breathe. 450,000 yuan was no small sum.

"Wu Fan, don't worry, the gift boxes are definitely taken. I'll pay a 100,000 yuan deposit first, is that okay?"

Without waiting for Wu Fan's reply, she directly transferred the money.

Wu Fan received it instantly and then ignored her.

Gu Ling held her phone, spacing out for a while, then her mind raced, and she immediately thought of a good solution.

She called Jin Qiang, first seductively inviting him for a passionate evening, then, using the same method, sent him the photos Wu Fan had sent her.

She exaggeratedly cried about being extorted and needing to spend 500,000 yuan to buy tea gift boxes, asking Jin Qiang what to do.

Jin Qiang, being wealthy, waved his hand, "What's there to be afraid of? Buy them all."

A mere 500,000 yuan to buy peace of mind was a small matter.

Moreover, the tea gift boxes were also very useful to him; he could always give them to high-ranking officials.

Every year-end, he himself had to send out many gifts to departments such as fisheries, maritime affairs, and transportation.

Anyway, he wouldn't miss a single department related to his business.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ling's knot in her heart unraveled.

She got 500,000 from her old lover Jin Qiang, gave Wu Fan 450,000, and even earned 50,000, which turned out to be a good deal.

She walked to her walk-in closet and carefully selected the clothes she would wear out that night.

She prepared to dress up well; she absolutely had to... Old Man Jin that night!
