“Mr. Chen Dong, are you sure you’re not joking with me? You know, this kind of joke doesn’t sound funny at all.”
Lin Benjian stared at Chen Dong. Even though he had seen many big events, he was still stunned and speechless at the sight of thirty million.
There's a saying: "A man without hair on his face is unreliable."
He wasn't actually referring to the beard on the person's face, but rather to their age.
The man in front of her, Chen Dong, looked to be a young man in his early twenties. She only agreed to meet him because her niece had been begging her.
But what did Chen Dong say? He actually told him that he would give him a settlement allowance of thirty million US dollars and let him work for Chen Dong.
What else could this be but a joke?
Is there any joke funnier than the one I heard today?
Lin Benjian shook his head dismissively. He really didn't believe Chen Dong could come up with such a large sum of money, and he didn't believe he would give it to him as some kind of settling-in allowance.
Even if Chen Dong in front of you is a rich second-generation, you can't just waste money like this.
Lin Benjian had already lost patience to continue talking to Chen Dong. He glanced at Huang Yali beside him, intending to go back and give her a good talking to. Not everyone can be trusted, such as this guy named Chen Dong.
He appeared very successful on the surface, and he admitted in his heart that Chen Dong was handsome and a charming guy.
Even if she is very charming, my niece shouldn't joke about her own future.
He's old and it doesn't matter to him anymore, but his niece Huang Yali is still young and has a long life ahead of her.
Having no children of his own, he had long regarded Huang Yali as his own daughter; otherwise, he wouldn't have devoted himself so much to her.
“I’m not joking with you, Mr. Hayashi Honma.”
Chen Dong emphasized his words at the end, and then he took out a signed cash check from his pocket and placed it in front of Lin Benjian.
To gain someone's trust, words alone are not enough; you also need to take concrete actions.
"This is a Swiss bank cash check with the bank's official phone number on it. Mr. Lin Benjian, if you still have any doubts, you can call the number on it to verify."
Lin Benjian did not do as Chen Dong said. By this time, he had already believed most of what Chen Dong said.
If all of this were fake, Chen Dong would never have pulled out a check at this moment and asked him to verify its authenticity.
The reason is simple: a fake is a fake, and you can verify the authenticity of a check with just one phone call.
Furthermore, there is absolutely no need to actually call the Swiss bank.
There is a branch of Swiss Bank in Taipei; you can simply go there with your check to verify its authenticity.
He had not agreed to anything with Chen Dong, nor had he signed any documents.
In other words, once the check is fake, Chen Dong's lie will be exposed, and Lin Benjian's loss will be nothing more than the cost of a taxi.
He can afford to pay this small amount of money.
Lin Benjian didn't touch the checks on the table, nor did he look at them, but Huang Yali couldn't help but shift her gaze to the checks.
The string of zeros on the check was so dazzling it almost blinded her.
this......
That's way too exaggerated.
It felt like a dream.
Yes, Huang Yali felt that everything was unreal.
I met Chen Dong a few days ago, and he already thought it was quite exaggerated. It was as if his life had reached a turning point and he had rekindled his hope for life.
But today, when I brought my uncle to see Chen Dong, I realized what exaggeration really meant.
Thirty million is just a resettlement allowance.
She couldn't bear to think about it. If all of this were true—no, at least she was already 90% convinced...
If my uncle really goes to Chen Dong's semiconductor company, how much salary will Chen Dong pay him?
Someone of his caliber should be earning an annual salary, right?
Perhaps there's also the company's equity incentive plan or something...
Thinking about it this way, Flower Clothing Company is probably nothing compared to Chen Dong.
She had previously naively thought that Chen Dong had taken a liking to her and wanted to spend the night with her, but now she realized how ridiculously naive she had been.
What's most surprising is that everything I have is thanks to my uncle, which makes me quite envious.
Huang Yali appeared calm on the surface, but she was anything but calm inside, and even her gaze towards her uncle Lin Benjian held a hint of complexity.
On one hand, I'm genuinely happy for my uncle; after all, he's family.
On the other hand, she didn't rise to the position through her own abilities, but rather through her uncle's connections, which gave her the opportunity to stay at Flower Clothing Company. How is this any different from those rich kids who rely on their families?
After a long silence, Lin Benjian finally spoke.
"Mr. Chen, thank you again for your kindness, but thirty million is far too much, I absolutely cannot accept it."
These words were spoken.
Not only Chen Dong, but even Huang Yali, who was standing to the side, looked at Lin Benjian with some disbelief.
Thirty million US dollars, which, at the current exchange rate, is worth over 100 million NT dollars.
Hayashi Honma just refused like that. Is he a saint?
Well done, Uncle!
Huang Yali's eyes showed even more complicated emotions, but she still sighed inwardly. Only a man like her uncle could face hundreds of millions of dollars without batting an eye. He truly deserved to be her idol since childhood.
Chen Dong frowned slightly; this result was also somewhat unexpected.
Before Lin Benjian could finish speaking, he continued.
"Mr. Chen, I've suddenly become very interested in the semiconductor company you mentioned. I'll go home and discuss it with my wife before giving you an answer."
