"As Uncle Ning said, we both have families, careers, wives and children. If we can resolve our troubles without bloodshed, that would be ideal."
Qin Zheng spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
Not long ago, Ning Jingqiu's mistress gave birth to his last son.
He was from the South and believed that having many children was a blessing. He had six children in total, including the two sons and one daughter he had with his first wife and other women.
Qin Zheng is a man of principle and always adheres to the belief that one should not bring trouble upon one's family.
Aside from having Ye Yun and Tang Shu taken hostage to warn Qin Zheng, Ning Jingqiu did not continue to do anything to harm women and children.
But he's not a gentleman, and if the fight continues, there's no guarantee he won't prey on women and children.
Ning Jingqiu quickly understood the meaning behind Qin Zheng's words. Two seconds later, a look of pleasure appeared on her face, and her gaze towards Qin Zheng gradually turned into admiration.
“I knew it, my nephew is a smart man.”
He said, "Since we've come this far, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I'll buy back the properties you own at 1.5 times the price you originally paid. What do you think?"
Gu Jin scoffed at first.
"1.5? Are you trying to fetch a beggar?"
Gu Jin leaned back, her gaze full of disdain: "You should know that the assets we own far exceed the price you offered, and the projects we hold are even more valuable. Is Boss Ning trying to rip us off because we're young?"
Ning Jingqiu, annoyed by the retort, pursed her lips and said, "Then you tell me, what price do you want?"
"It should be at least ten times."
Gu Jin lazily stretched out a finger and said in a languid voice, "I'm not bragging, but Boss Ning is a leader of enterprises in Beijing, and his vision should be top-notch. With the rapid economic development now, the price of our land has long exceeded the previous price by several times."
Ning Jingqiu's secretary retorted, "That doesn't mean we have to pay ten times the price, does it?"
Gu Jin scoffed impatiently.
"Who said we have to sell to you at the original price? We don't need to make a profit? Don't you know what kind of relationship you have with Boss Ning? Don't you know why I'm offering this price?"
"Besides, ten times is only the price of the land and the project itself. Once the land is developed and the project is successful, it will bring you a hundred times the profit!"
"As a secretary, you can't even think of this? Have you lost your mind?"
The secretary was speechless, "..."
Her face flushed slightly, and she wanted to argue with Gu Jin, but Ning Jingqiu raised his hand to stop her, leaving her frustrated as she said, "President Ning..."
"No need to say anything more."
Ning Jingqiu took a deep breath, stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, and looked at Qin Zheng and Gu Jin with a kind expression.
“My two nephews are right. The value of the property you own has already exceeded its original value. Even if it were ten times more, it wouldn’t matter. Even if it weren’t worth that much, I would still give it to you as compensation for offending Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Gu. I’m sorry, I’ll drink to that first.”
After saying that, he tilted his head back and took a sip of foreign liquor.
Afterwards, he cupped his hands to Qin Zheng and Gu Jin, and said with a smile, "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Gu Jin refused to listen, "Who said we had a pleasant working relationship with you? Did we agree to that?"
Ning Jingqiu's expression froze.
Wasn't it just ten times as he said?
"You're really acting all innocent after getting a good deal." Gu Jin spoke without any politeness, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, each tap venting his dissatisfaction and contempt at the moment. "What do you mean by 'consider the extra money as compensation for Ye Yun and my wife'? It's as if we've wronged you. You didn't mention a word about the hundredfold profit I mentioned later?"
Ning Jingqiu's expression was not very pleasant.
He knew Gu Jin was a troublemaker and didn't want to argue with him, so he turned his gaze to Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng didn't even glance at him.
He put a freshly peeled shrimp into Ye Yun's mouth, wiped his hands, and ignored the look Ning Jingqiu was giving him.
Ye Yun gave Gu Jin complete freedom to do as she pleased.
The main problem is that the other party is shameless.
Ning Jingqiu was the one who came to propose to them regarding the project, yet he acted as if he was reluctant, making it seem as if they couldn't sell the project and were forcing him to do so, which was disgusting.
"If Boss Ning doesn't recognize his own place, then there's no need for this meal."
Ye Yun finally said something.
Ning Jingqiu was silent for a few seconds, then smiled knowingly, poured himself another glass of foreign liquor, raised his glass and said, "My attitude was wrong. How about this, I'll still buy your properties at ten times the price, and give you a whole street of shops as a gift. The location will definitely not disappoint you. What do you think?"
The shops on one street are enough for an average person to live a smooth and successful life in Beijing.
He was also after the profits those projects could bring him if they succeeded; otherwise, he wouldn't have bleed himself dry.
"Haha..." Ye Yun laughed this time.
Gu Jin found her laughter inexplicable, looked at her suspiciously, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Ye Yun gave him a reassuring look, then turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Boss Ning is going to give us a whole street of shops. What do you think?"
Qin Zheng: "Sounds good."
“I can buy your property for ten times the price,” Ning Jingqiu added, smiling insincerely. “Don’t worry, the location of the shop is definitely excellent.”
Ye Yun suddenly clapped her hands.
All done!
"With such a great deal of sincerity from Boss Ning, what reason do we have to refuse?" She leaned back in her chair and spread her hands.
