Chapter 144: Chapter 144 This Woman Is Unyielding Chapter 144: Chapter 144 This Woman Is Unyielding Ye Zhi watched the video, barely able to suppress his excitement.
“Boss, the Su family’s reaction to this video will definitely be spectacular! I’m already looking forward to it!”
The video considerately captured every worker’s face, and everything they said was recorded word for word.
If the Su family didn’t want to fall out with the Shen family so quickly, they would most likely choose to pay.
“Boss, you’re really ruthless when it comes to extorting money, aren’t you? Even if the Su family gives three billion, it’ll take them a while to catch their breath. I guess it won’t be that easy for them to pay up.”
The Su family’s production chain had recently encountered many issues, and they didn’t have much liquidity at hand.
Ye Zhi thought, his boss really was…
Ruthless!
But the boss was even extorting her own fiancé. He heard that the equipment for the Chang Yue Laboratory was all gifted by President Pei. Ye Zhi suddenly felt immense respect for the boss!
Look at her; for the organization’s future, their boss worked so hard!
Qingwu said calmly, “They will pay. Compared to offending High Tower and the Shen family, a mere three billion is worth it.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi was almost moved to tears. Such a fair deal for everyone! The Shen family would be missing out on a good price if they passed this up!
Ye Zhi agreed and sent the video to the Su family overnight.
…
The next morning, Qingwu got ready and went downstairs to see that the living room was piled high with gifts.
The living room was filled with boxes of various sizes, leaving no room to step.
There were boxes of precious herbs, cordyceps, and dozens of boxes of bird’s nests. At the very front was a box of pearls the size of a fist, which seemed to be the ones auctioned from the East Sea pearl market last year.
Zuo Wanjun saw her beloved daughter come downstairs, her face full of joy.
“Sweetie, take a look at what you like. Pick something, and I’ll have someone bring it upstairs for you.”
“Why are there so many things?”
“They say it’s a peace offering from the Su family, probably because Su Si Shao acted out at the gallery yesterday?”
Zuo Wanjun thought about yesterday’s events and felt that the Su family’s illegitimate son was somewhat lacking in decorum.
But the fact that they sent so many gifts the next day to apologize showed that both families still had a lot of business dealings, and mutual concessions would be for the best.
Elder Shen sat at the dining table reading the newspaper, his scrutinizing gaze falling on the pile of gifts.
“Just for yesterday’s little incident they send so many gifts? The current head of the Su family still has some sense.”
Elder Shen had a sharp eye.
He could see at a glance that this was too much for yesterday’s incident.
The Su family could have easily dismissed it as child’s play, a minor squabble, and even if they wanted to give gifts, it wasn’t necessary to send so many.
“There’s probably something else going on. Send Dongli to investigate.”
Zuo Wanjun laughed, “Dad, you’re probably overthinking it. Dongli already looked into it yesterday, and there was nothing else.”
Qingwu cast her gaze over the heap of gifts in front of her.
Most likely, the Su family was reacting to that video from last night, trying to take the initiative.
They were testing the Shen family.
If the Shen family knew about that incident, not only would these gifts not make it through the door, but they would be flung right at the Su family’s face.
Since they accepted them, it proved that the Shen family indeed still didn’t know.
“Mom, I’m heading to the gallery.”
“Don’t overwork yourself. I know my precious daughter is outstanding, but don’t tire yourself out, okay?”
Zuo Wanjun’s face was full of pride as she looked at Qingwu’s expression.
Her precious daughter was simply amazing!
Yesterday, when she played mahjong, the other ladies looked at her with envy. Who wouldn’t want children as accomplished as hers?
Qingwu nodded, left the house, and walked straight to the car parked at the door, opened the door, and got in.
Ye Zhi said while eating a sandwich, “Boss, the Su family agreed to give the money, but they want to meet us, saying they want to hand it over in person.”
Hand it over in person?
They wanted to resolve it in person.
With such incriminating evidence in High Tower’s hands, the Su family wasn’t certain when High Tower might hand over the video to the Shen family.
What if High Tower wanted to make double the money? The Su family would just have to swallow this silent loss!
Ye Zhi sneered, “Making friends is just a front; they want to woo us into working for them or threaten us. The Su family has some dirty tricks up their sleeve.”
“Boss, are we meeting them?”
Qingwu said indifferently, “No. Tell them that if they play tricks, the price will be five billion. If a single cent is missing, the video will be sent to the Shen family, along with other parts of the video the Su family hasn’t seen.”
Ye Zhi chuckled delightedly.
For the Su family to try and manipulate their boss in this situation was like kicking an iron plate.
While High Tower was busy with its escapades on the international line… I mean, upholding justice, the Su family only cared for the little benefits in front of them!
To play with them, they still had a long way to go!
“Boss, are you going to the gallery today?”
“First, to the bank.”
The things her grandmother left her were all in that bank, and she had to go check.
No matter what her grandmother left behind, she was going to keep it safe.
Grandma Lin chose a major international bank.
Coincidentally, it was Changrong Bank, a subsidiary of the Shen family, and the safe deposit box was located in Beijing.
When did Grandma come to Beijing to store things? How did she not know at all?
It must have happened when she was out on a mission with High Tower, away from Grandma.
Ye Zhi parked the car in front of Changrong Bank, and just as Qingwu was about to get out, the car door was opened from the outside.
Su Wenyin smiled faintly, his gaze evaluating Qingwu.
“Lady Shen, we meet again. It seems like we really are fated to meet.”
Qingwu’s gaze fell on Su Wenyin’s face.
The imprints of five fingers were still apparent; even after applying ointment and icing it specially, they were still somewhat noticeable.
It seemed he took quite a hit.
“Didn’t Su Si Shao look in the mirror before going out? If you scare people outside with that face, it wouldn’t be quite appropriate.”
Su Wenyin’s smile froze!
As soon as he got home yesterday, he received a solid slap on the face, which had only somewhat healed after icing it all night!
How did this girl notice it right away?
Even if she did notice, she went ahead and pointed it out in front of so many people, leaving him with no face at all!
“Is Miss Shen always this direct when she speaks?”
Qingwu said calmly, “With your intelligence, if I’m not direct, I’m worried you won’t understand.”
Su Wenyin could no longer force a smile.
This woman was simply impenetrable!
But thinking of the boundless advantages if he could establish a close relationship with the Shen family’s eldest daughter, it would bring him nothing but endless benefits. Eventually, both the Su and Shen families would be his!
Just the thought of the immense wealth made Su Wenyin’s heart burn a little.
“Lady Shen, meeting is fate. Would you like to have a meal together?”
Qingwu frowned at the man in front of her.
“Is the entire Su family this thick-skinned, or is Su Si Shao uniquely densed, unable to understand even human words?”
“When I tell you to scram, didn’t you hear it?”
