cheap?

She calls a check for 100 million a cheap one?

Tang Sui frantically shouted "NO" in her heart; she felt it wasn't cheap anymore.

This deal isn't necessarily off-limits.

After all, apologizing on live stream is only a temporary relief; the real benefit is the money you actually receive.

The fact that this design blueprint saved Yun Tang from danger is something Tang Sui can brag about for the rest of her life.

Even if Huo Chenyu offered such an exorbitant compensation, it was only because of Tang Li's sake, but that didn't matter. As the saying goes, "Thick skin gets you rich."

Huo Chenyu looked up and met Tang Li's distant and unfamiliar eyes.

Lu Zhixing was always by her side.

The two were seen together late at night; could it be that good news is on the horizon?

Huo Chenyu was momentarily lost in thought.

He quickly said, "You can name a number for how much compensation you want."

What a wealthy and powerful person!

Tang Li sat down next to Tang Sui and pointed to the check, saying:

"The maximum limit is 990 million, but President Huo filled in the smallest number. Who are you looking down on?"

Since it was originally intended to help her resolve the Tang family's crisis, Huo Chenyu readily agreed.

"Okay, then it'll be nine hundred million."

Tang Sui wanted to say, "We've already given you 900 million, so what's another 90 million?"

However, Tang Li tore up the check right in front of him and then reached out to him:

"Does Mr. Huo have a habit of carrying loose change?"

No, there really isn't.

Huo Chenyu looked at Tang Li with a completely bewildered expression.

Tang Li laughed and said, "My sister's design is priceless, and I'm afraid Mr. Huo can't afford it. But the fiancée you cherish in your heart is worth at most one dollar in my eyes."

Ha ha ha ha.

Tang Sui laughed out loud, instantly understanding what Tang Li meant.

So she started a commotion:

"Five cents is the most I can do. Any more than that would be the greatest insult to the Renminbi."

Watching the two sisters sing in unison, Lu Zhixing chuckled to himself.

"For Mr. Huo's sake, let's scrape together 50 cents for Miss Lin. Mr. Huo, please pay up."

You have 50 cents, she has 50 cents, and you two have exactly one dollar.

Tang Li almost burst out laughing.

Let's not even talk about whether Huo Chenyu really couldn't come up with a single yuan in change; even if he did, he wouldn't give it to her.

He didn't care whether Lin Yiyun was valuable or not.

But if Lin Yiyun found out about this humiliation, she would probably cause a huge uproar.

Seeing that Huo Chenyu remained silent, Tang Li withdrew his hand, sighed, and said:

"Mr. Huo disagrees? Does he think one dollar is too cheap for your future Mrs. Huo? Or does Mr. Huo also think one dollar is too much, and she's only worth fifty cents at most?"

Tang Sui and she put on a double act:

“Of course one yuan is too much. I’ve already said that the maximum is fifty cents. Any more than one cent is disrespectful to the RMB.”

After saying that, she looked up at her 'new brother-in-law'.

“Of course, after all, President Huo’s money doesn’t grow on trees.” Lu Zhixing added fuel to the fire.

Huo Chenyu, who was already in the wrong, couldn't gain any advantage when facing Tang Sui alone. Now, with Tang Li and Lu Zhixing added to the mix, he was outnumbered and suffered a crushing defeat.

Without giving him much time to consider, Tang Li snorted coldly:

"Since Mr. Huo can't provide the money, let's go back and work on Mrs. Huo's mindset. It's just a live apology, she can just treat it as a failed plagiarism act. Anyway, Miss Lin is a very good actress."

It's just a pity about that nine-figure compensation, Tang Sui thought to herself.

Lin Yiyun has really struck it rich this time.

Acting in a TV series probably wouldn't even earn you that much money.

That's a whole hundred million!

After Huo Chenyu stood up, perhaps having heard Tang Sui's thoughts, Lu Zhixing added with a smile:

"The apology during the live broadcast was merely a gesture of goodwill from Ms. Lin Yiyun regarding her tolerance of her subordinates plagiarizing others' work. As for compensation, Ms. Tang Sui has entrusted our company's lawyers to handle the matter."

What's the meaning?

Tang Sui was completely dumbfounded.

This is an attempt to wipe them all out.

Your reputation will be ruined, and your money will be taken away.

However, her new brother-in-law's actions pleased her greatly.

Huo Chenyu had no objection to this: "I will have Jiang Mian deliver the check for nine hundred million to Miss Tang tomorrow."

The meaning of "Miss Tang" here is self-evident.

Tang Li stood up:

"No need. In terms of kinship, my sister's design is indeed priceless, but in terms of law and reason, that design drawing is not worth that much money. So please, Mr. Huo, handle this officially."

Even though it was a bit of a pity, Tang Sui knew that ill-gotten gains should not be taken.

She nodded in support of Tang Li:

"My sister is right. What belongs to me, I will keep every penny of; what doesn't belong to me, I won't take even a thousand pieces of gold."

Both sisters are quite principled.

Huo Chenyu felt a throbbing headache starting again; it seemed he would have to go to the car to take his medicine again.

He hadn't gone more than a few steps when Tang Li called out to him:

"Mr. Huo, are you free tomorrow?"

Huo Chenyu turned around, slightly puzzled.

Tang Li reached out and took Lu Zhixing's arm, smiling at him:

“Mr. Huo got engaged, and Ms. Lin treated me to a meal. Now that Ah Xing and I are about to get engaged, it is only right that I treat Mr. Huo to a meal in return.”

Is an engagement imminent?

As the person involved, Lu Zhixing stated that he was unaware of the matter.

However, he cooperated fully:

"I would be honored to have the honor of meeting you, Mr. Huo."

Why would you deign to go and eat your ex-wife's dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection

Do you think you're living too long?

Huo Chenyu, with a cold face, said, "I'm not free tomorrow."

"And the day after tomorrow?"

"I'm not free the day after tomorrow either."

"The day after tomorrow?"

"I'm busy."

......

There's just no free time.

Tang Li couldn't help but laugh: "We can't postpone it any longer, or we'll have to invite President Huo to our engagement banquet."
