Chapter 141
Wei Sizu returned, his face drooping, to find Mr. Jiang's ferocious, large bodyguard also visibly troubled, like a troubled young wife. He couldn't help but wonder, "Mr. Jiang, what happened?"
Jiang Nuo gave Gu Jiangkuo a sidelong glance. "It's alright, Mr. Wei. Let's get down to business."
Wei Sizu stopped looking at the nearly 5'9" sturdy "young wife" and lowered his head again. He said dejectedly, "Brother Jiang, 50% off! They told me they sold the shares for 50% off. With that amount, after paying off the debt, the rest has to be used to pay fines and make up for previous losses. I won't have anything left."
"How could that be?" Jiang Nuo finally found a soft spot on the sofa and sat down precariously, his expression a mixture of pain and relief. Then he pulled himself together and said deliberately, "I still have a lot of shares left. Even though I've lost control, it's still good to be a small shareholder who just gets paid dividends."
"It's not that simple," Wei Sizu said dejectedly. "These management team members are all the capable people my father carefully selected for me. Some of them are uncles and aunts who have watched me grow up. Now that President Yu has discovered that I secretly embezzled funds, I can no longer continue to work in the company. I want to sell my shares quickly and quit everything."
"Brother Jiang," Wei Sizu sniffed, tears welling up in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Nuo, "Is it really only 50% off?"
Jiang Nuo: “…”
To be honest, when Jiang Nuo first learned that he was being betrayed by this useless teammate, he was so angry that he wanted to send him to court himself. But now, seeing his helpless look with snot and tears, Jiang Nuo's anger has subsided by about 70%.
...Who can bother with a fool?
President Jiang sighed silently and said calmly, "Boyou shares offer a 50% discount. Although it's a bit low, as they said, it's a private large-scale transaction with a rush to sell, so the price is not completely unreasonable. You can consult other company veterans..."
"I'm too embarrassed to ask them," Wei Sizu sighed. "They must be extremely disappointed in me right now. I'm sorry, too. I know you're different from me, brother. You're a very capable person. You're four or five years younger than me, and you were also entrusted with a task in a time of crisis, yet you've managed the family fortune so well. ... It's all my fault for not living up to my expectations. I usually spend money lavishly and have even developed a gambling addiction. I, I really didn't expect that I could lose so much just by going to Singapore..."
"Lion City?" Jiang Nuo grasped the key point, "You're going to the Lion City Casino?"
Wei Sizu: “Yes.”
Mr. Jiang asked, "When did you go?"
"About three months ago." Wei Sizu said blankly.
Jiang Nuo: “Heh.”
Gu Jiangkuo subconsciously stood at attention, and after receiving the glare from his boyfriend, he shamelessly gave him a silly smile.
Mr. Jiang ignored him and continued talking about business: "Xingxu definitely doesn't have 160 million in its accounts. According to the contract, you can only sell your shares, find a buyer yourself, or hand it over to Boyue."
"How would I know about this? Let's leave it to them."
"Now I'll give you another option," Mr. Jiang said. "You might as well sell all your shares to me, and I'll give you a 30% discount."
Wei Sizu opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
Jiang Nuo: "Don't look at me like that. Jiang Group is not an ATM, and I don't have that much cash. I offered a high price because I want to pay in installments. ... You don't have to rush to reply."
"I promise!" Wei Sizu's eyes filled with tears. "Brother Jiang, you saved my life! Woohoo, I didn't dare tell you that I still have other gambling debts to pay off. The deadline is one month. Can you give me the first payment within a month?"
“…” Mr. Jiang thought for a moment and reported a number.
"30% off! As expected of you, Brother Jiang, the Jiang family is indeed wealthy and powerful. I knew I could count on you!" Wei Sizu, fearing that he would go back on his word, grabbed Jiang Nuo's hand and said, "Sign the contract now!"
Jiang Nuo's original psychological expectation was a 25% discount, because according to his experience, such private bulk transactions were usually completed at a discount of about 30%. If it was not possible to pay in full at one time, the price would be higher, possibly rising to about 20% of the original price.
It is obvious that Wei Sizu is the one who has suffered the loss now, but he is so grateful that he cannot be dealt with by President Jiang directly.
Instead, "Bodyguard Gu" took a big step forward and slapped Wei Sizu's hand away. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and his face was full of ferocity: "That's enough! How long are you going to touch me?"
Straight man Wei Sizu was confused: "?"
Is a handshake not okay? He's expressing gratitude.
But the big bodyguard looked like he was going to eat someone. Wei Sizu shrank his neck and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"...In that case, Mr. Wei, come with me to Jiang Corporation. I'll notify the lawyer to draft a contract." Mr. Jiang felt that Gu Jiangkuo was a bit of a disgrace to him, so he quickly changed the subject.
Wei Sizu really followed his line of thought: "Yes, yes, so as to avoid any more trouble. I'll go drive now."
President Jiang fell behind, but Gu Jiangkuo was still dissatisfied, muttering quietly, "You've been sold out, yet you're still rushing to count the money. Where did you find such a stupid partner?"
Jiang Nuo rolled his eyes at him. "Xingxu's size, the price we negotiated, and its location are all the best. Also, Wei Sizu is a straight man, so there's no need for you to be so nervous. I'm just an ordinary young man, not RMB. Everyone likes me."
Gu Jiangkuo pretended not to understand and changed the subject, "Actually, Xingxu is a company with great potential. It's a pity that Wei Sizu is a hopeless case, not as talented as you."
This flattery made Mr. Jiang feel a little comfortable, and he couldn't help but return a reserved smile: "You are the only one who can talk."
Mr. Gu knew that he had been coaxed, so he followed happily, wagging his invisible tail.
.
Mr. Jiang was a reliable person. He did not intend to publicize the matter before it was settled. Therefore, he did not directly inform the executive named Hu under Yu Min. Instead, he vaguely said, "Let's discuss it again" before taking Wei Sizu back to Jiang's.
Mr. Hu politely agreed and immediately reported to Yu Min.
Yu Min wasn't worried about this; he was even quite confident. "Don't worry, there won't be any unexpected changes. Jiang Nuo, despite his young age, is a prudent and experienced man. Even if there's only one path to take, he'll still have to think carefully about it for a few days. ... You can just stay in Yanlin for a few days. I'll be there next week."
"Yes, Mr. Yu."
The Jiang Group's legal department was incredibly efficient, and their specially hired lawyers had already drafted the contract before the CEOs arrived. Wei Sizu didn't waste any time, just glanced at it and signed. Things went surprisingly smoothly, and instead of the "one or two days" Jiang Nuo had predicted, everything was settled that same day.
The happiest person was Gu Jiangkuo.
——Workaholic Mr. Jiang took the initiative to say: Go home after finishing your work.
For the first time ever, my boyfriend didn’t stay in the company until after get off work. It must be because I wanted to make time to accompany him!
Gu Jiangkuo rubbed his palms with joy. Oh, actually, he had gone a little too far last night. He was a little reluctant to bother Nuonuo again, but if he went back so early today and didn't do anything, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good time?
"Nuonuo," Gu Jiangkuo said excitedly as he started the car. "Are we going home straight away? Or are we going to have a nice meal first?"
"Go home." Mr. Jiang ordered.
"Are you in such a hurry? Okay." Mr. Gu said shyly.
However, as soon as I got home, Aunt Mei was waiting at the door with a washboard in her arms, asking, "Master, is this the case?"
Young Master Jiang nodded and, while changing his shoes, ordered, "Gu Dajiang, take it. Then follow me back to the bedroom."
Gu Jiangkuo: “…”
Gu Jiangkuo had a bad feeling in his heart. He pulled Aunt Mei aside and asked quietly, "Um, Aunt Mei, what's going on?"
Aunt Mei was also confused: "Young Master suddenly sent a message saying he wanted a washboard. How could we have such a thing at home? He even has a small washing machine for his underwear, so I hurried to the market to buy one. Is Young Master planning to let me wash it by hand?"
"Don't worry, it's not." Gu Jiangkuo said sadly, "This is prepared for me."
Aunt Mei didn't know where her thoughts were, so she blurted out, "Are you guys still going to eat on time tonight? Or will you send it to the bedroom after it's ready?"
Gu Jiangkuo knew that she had misunderstood, but he did not give a direct explanation.
"Okay, if I don't eat on time tonight, I won't have anything to eat tonight." He carried the washboard and went upstairs. "Let me show you how to perform."
