“We’re pushing our luck? Are all the wrongdoers so self-righteous? What kind of world is this?”
CEO Lin choked. Trying his best to maintain his composure, he said, “I would advise you to go back and think about it. This matter isn’t that easy to resolve. There are really too many people involved. Let’s leave it at that. Go home and think about it properly. Come and find me when you’ve thought it through.”
Although he didn’t know their background, he believed that no one would be unmoved by ten million. This was too unbelievable!
“There’s no need to think it through,” Rong Si firmly replied without any hesitation.
“I need to think it through, okay! This matter concerns the Lin Corporation’s reputation. I have to think about how to resolve this!” CEO Lin lost all his patience from before. He sat on the chair and rubbed his eyebrows.
“Now, please leave! Otherwise, I’ll call security.”
Rong Si glanced at CEO Lin’s anxious expression and coldly said, “I only have one request. Return my results to me. I want a clear answer within two days. Otherwise, you will not know peace.”
The young man’s dark eyes were filled with a hard determination and ruthlessness that did not belong to his age. No one could predict what he would do.
CEO Lin choked and watched as Rong Si and Song Wanqiu turned around and left the office.
After the two of them left, Lin Wei walked out of the office’s hidden rest area and indignantly said, “Dad! You’re too ridiculous. You actually offered to give them ten million yuan? That Rong Si is too cheap!”
Seeing his son’s flustered and exasperated look, CEO Lin angrily slapped him. “B*stard!”
Since he was the only son of the Lin family, Lin Wei had always been pampered by his entire family. His father had never hit him in his life. No matter what Lin Wei did, his father would always turn a blind eye. The only requirement for him was that his academic results had to be good. CEO Lin did not want others to think that the future heir of the Lin family was an ignorant and incompetent person.
But now, his father had actually hit him so hard for an outsider. Lin Wei felt a burning pain on his cheek. His head was ringing and it took him a while to recover.
CEO Lin glared at him. “You still have the cheek to say that? If you hadn’t caused such trouble, would I have needed to spend so much money to help you settle this matter? Besides, that brat didn’t intend to ask for ten million! He’s so insistent about getting his results back that he might make a fuss and reveal this to the public! Have you thought about how big of an impact it would have on the Lin Corporation? By then, the loss won’t just be ten million!”
“Dad, his family is very poor. He even received a scholarship when he was still in school. It’s impossible for him to not get tempted by ten million yuan. I think he’s probably trying to extort more money! I don’t believe that someone would give up ten million yuan and insist on changing their grades. That kid is just trying to extort money from you. If he asks for too much and you don’t agree to it, you’ll fall into his trap!”
CEO Lin angrily replied, “And if he’s not extorting money?”
“That’s impossible! Dad, that kid is really cunning. He wouldn’t have filmed me otherwise. Anyway, if he wants to extort money, just give him five million yuan. You can’t give him a cent more. You can’t let him take advantage of you!”
“You’re still trying to tell me how to do things?” CEO Lin got furious and gave his son another slap. “Let me tell you, if this matter really ends up affecting the Lin family’s reputation, I’ll break your legs!”
Lin Wei gritted his teeth, but he apologetically smiled, “Dad, believe me. That kid is definitely trying to extort money. He can’t keep insisting on getting his results back.. Does he have the ability to do that?”
