124: Chapter 124 Husband and Wife's Double Act

A transaction price of 2 billion! Not only was Mr. Zhang excited, but even Lin Xiongwei's face was glowing with joy.

This incomplete building had not only been successfully auctioned off, but the transaction price was also double the expected price!

Based on the judicial auction commission percentage, Dingsheng Company could make a net profit of 10 million Yuan from this single deal!

For a private enterprise like Mr. Zhang's, he truly understood the meaning of 'a strike of the gavel brings ten thousand taels of gold'.

Therefore, Mr. Zhang planned to throw a grand banquet for his guests today, especially for the top leader of City Investment, Lin Xiongwei.

However, Lin Xiongwei was very cautious.

Although he was happy, he would not attend any dinner party that might expose him.

After all, with a transaction amount exceeding 10 million, Mr. Zhang still had to pay him a tribute of 2 million as agreed.

He would have to send Mr. Zhang to Meng Yu's place to pick out another piece of fine porcelain.

Perhaps one piece wouldn't be enough.

So, how could this leader care about a mere meal?

And Mr. Zhang was naturally happy to show his respect to Lin Xiongwei; after all, he was a massive gold mine. If you didn't pay the admission fee, plenty of others were willing to.

He was now considered a fairly famous entrepreneur in Qiantang.

However, just as he was tipsily preparing to head home, two mysterious women appeared before him.

The two women couldn't be called exceptionally beautiful, but they had a valiant and heroic temperament. Their figures, wrapped in tight leather pants, were also remarkably hot.

Seeing such women, Mr. Zhang giggled foolishly, "Are you two beauties looking for me?"

"Mr. Zhang, our boss is looking for you. Please come with us."

Mr. Zhang was still in a drunken stupor. "Who is your boss?"

The woman's words left no room for doubt: "You'll know once you get there."

Inside the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel.

Mr. Zhang was brought into the living room and saw a woman already sitting on the sofa.

Behind her stood two women wearing eerie masks, also with hot and explosive figures.

But why were there two long sabers tucked into the small of their backs?

There was also a man sitting at a tea table on the side, leisurely drinking tea.

Seeing this setup, Mr. Zhang felt his drunkenness fade away quite a bit. He hurriedly said respectfully, "Miss Liu, it's you who was looking for me?"

"Young Master Su is here too, hello!"

A woman in leather brought over a chair and then walked out of the room with her companion.

Liu Yuan signaled for Mr. Zhang to sit down.

Mr. Zhang felt the atmosphere was a bit off, but he didn't dare ask too much.

He knew Liu Yuan hadn't won the building, so she must be feeling uncomfortable.

But he was just a representative of an auction company; the highest bidder wins, what could he do?

Liu Yuan chuckled, "Boss Zhang, congratulations. You must be very satisfied with today's price."

Mr. Zhang laughed it off, "I really have to thank you for that, Miss Liu. If you hadn't given me the information, how could I have auctioned it for such a price?"

"However, Miss Liu, I know you wanted this building. But Runfa Group was indeed too aggressive today, and I couldn't do anything about it."

"After all, the true owner is Chairman Lin of City Investment, not someone like me."

Su Nange walked over with a cup of tea, looking like a bit of a rogue.

He spoke up, "Boss Zhang, we asked you to drive up the price, but we didn't ask you to bring in Runfa Group!"

"Aren't you being a bit unethical? You made quite a lot from today's price, didn't you?"

Mr. Zhang understood what Su Nange was implying.

He thought to himself, 'These great families already have so much wealth, why do they still want to exploit commoners like us?'

But Mr. Zhang knew that once targeted by such powerful figures, it would be impossible to get away unscathed without leaving something behind.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Liu, Young Master Su. I understand this matter."

He held up five fingers. "How about this, I'm willing to offer this much to invite Miss Liu for tea."

Su Nange threw an arm around Mr. Zhang's shoulder.

Mr. Zhang felt as if a thousand-pound weight had dropped onto him. This Young Master Su was indeed not simple.

Su Nange continued to smile like a rogue, "Yuan, I told you Boss Zhang was loyal. Look, as soon as he made money today, he's willing to give out 500. Haha, the boss is generous!"

What? Mr. Zhang felt Su Nange had misunderstood.

He hurriedly whispered, "Young Master Su, I... I meant 50. I'm just a small business, I... I really can only take out this much."

Su Nange's smile gradually vanished.

Looking at the man so close to him, Mr. Zhang felt as if he were in an ice cellar.

"Boss Zhang, do you think Miss Liu and I are stupid?"

"Miss Liu went to all that trouble to build hype for your broken building! And you're only giving her this little bit of tribute?"

"Don't think I don't know. Based on today's transaction price, you have a net profit of at least 1,000."

"So, 500, not a penny less! Otherwise, do you see what those ladies over there are carrying?"

"Don't doubt us, we are capable of it!"

Mr. Zhang felt bitter in his heart. Today had been like a roller coaster. Was this what they called 'extreme joy turns to sorrow'?

You capitalists, do you even listen to reason?

Mr. Zhang calculated in his head again. If he really gave away 500, plus the 100 registration fee from before at the teahouse, and then the 200 he still had to give to Lin Xiongwei...

He would only be left with 2 million in profit.

This psychological gap was simply too large!

At this moment, Liu Yuan played the 'good cop', "Boss Zhang, we aren't unreasonable people, right?"

"Think about it carefully. Originally, this building might not have even found a buyer."

"Now, under the hype generated by Young Master Su and me, not only did it reach a transaction price of 2 billion, but it also made you 10 million."

"Is it too much for us to ask for half?"

Mr. Zhang shook his head, "Miss Liu, that... of course it's not too much. But, but... sigh."

Mr. Zhang clearly had something difficult to say.

But Su Nange continued to threaten, "If Boss Zhang doesn't agree, then don't blame me."

With that, he walked behind Black Kite and, with a 'shring', drew a long saber from the woman's waist.

Under Su Nange's flexible wrist, the long saber continuously traced beautiful arcs.

Illuminated by the crystal chandelier in the suite, it appeared purple-tinged and blue-hued, with thousands of rays of light and a myriad of auspicious colors!

Liu Yuan watched such a dashing posture with infatuation. Even the usually cold Black Kite turned her head to take a look.

Mr. Zhang felt his legs trembling. He also felt his drunkenness returning, making it hard for him to stand.

As Su Nange drew closer and closer, Mr. Zhang felt as if his heart was about to stop.

Fortunately, Liu Yuan stopped him in time, "Nange, don't be in such a hurry. Give Boss Zhang another chance."

"I think he seems to have something he wants to say."

"Isn't that right, Boss Zhang?"

Mr. Zhang looked at the long saber that had finally stopped in Su Nange's hand.

He let out a helpless sigh.

Liu Yuan took the weapon from Su Nange's hand and inserted it back into Black Kite's scabbard.

Then she personally invited him, "Let's sit down and talk while drinking tea. We wouldn't want Boss Zhang to think we're bad people, teehee."

Mr. Zhang almost slipped. You're not bad people? Do you even believe that yourselves?

The three of them sat down. Mr. Zhang took a cup of fragrant tea handed over by Liu Yuan and sighed, "Miss Liu, it's really not that I'm stingy."

"I've been in the business world for so many years, why would I pass up a chance to show my respect to you?"

"But in this matter, I really have my own difficulties."

Liu Yuan said, "It's fine, Boss Zhang, feel free to speak your mind."

Mr. Zhang made his stance clear: "Eldest Miss, I'm willing to give 300 to thank you and Young Master Su. This is already the maximum profit margin I can give up."

Liu Yuan, like a queen well-versed in power dynamics, saw that the timing was right and proactively clarified, "I think I understand. Boss Zhang, you have other parties you need to share profits with?"

Mr. Zhang bit his lip and didn't speak.

Liu Yuan continued, "That person shouldn't be Li Runfa. After all, he still thinks he's made a huge profit right now."

"Could it be that this person is Lin Xiongwei of City Investment?"

Mr. Zhang then nodded and explained, "Eldest Miss, in the business world, it's just these kinds of things. I don't have to say it, you should already be aware."

Su Nange chimed in, "How many does he want?"

Mr. Zhang held up three fingers.

Liu Yuan smiled, "That shows our Boss Zhang is still loyal. We get the same proportion as Chairman Lin."

Mr. Zhang didn't know if Liu Yuan was praising or mocking him.

Su Nange, however, said, "Old Zhang, don't joke around. How come I heard that Chairman Lin is someone who isn't greedy for money or lustful? He didn't even attend the dinner party you organized today."

"How could such an upright official take your money! You have to be responsible for what you say!"

Only then did Mr. Zhang realize that the two in front of him were performing a double act and had been waiting for him right here!

It turned out that what they cared about wasn't the auction profits at all.

What a pair of scoundrels!

But now that the opening had been torn wide by the other party, what else could he do?

So, Mr. Zhang recounted in full detail to the two in front of him how Lin Xiongwei had long used Cilan Teahouse to establish a firewall and how he had been accumulating wealth in a disguised manner.

Once the other party finished speaking, Su Nange silently pressed the call button on his phone.

All the dialogue just now had been recorded by Qin Jiazheng and several economic crime investigators present on the other side...
