Tang Ping paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, if you have time, help me look for it. If someone wants to sell it, I'll take it."
Tang Ping had previously acquired two old houses. One is where he lives now, and the other was used as staff dormitory for Li Qiang and Li Hui. He's been too busy lately to take care of it anymore.
The three of them entered the room together and suddenly found the atmosphere rather heavy.
There were a few more people at home: Uncle Song Guangyuan, his son, and several relatives sitting on the sofa.
Aunt Tang Shuyun and her elderly mother both looked very unwell, but they felt reassured when Tang Ping returned.
Song Guangyuan also stood up and said warmly, "Oh, Ping is back. Hehe, you must be very busy with your business now. I've been waiting at home all day and haven't even had a meal."
Tang Ping didn't want to pay him any attention and asked directly, "Um, Uncle Song, I remember my aunt divorced you, right? Logically speaking, our two families have no relationship now. So what brings you here this time?"
Song Guangyuan said, "Hehe, she's divorced from me, but Lili is still my daughter. It's not wrong for me to come and see her, is it?"
Beside him, a blond-haired young man chimed in, "That's right, Cousin Tang Ping. No matter what, we're still family, even if we're not related by blood. I heard you own two large internet cafes and a factory, and you also run a KTV. I'm currently unemployed, so could you arrange for me to work as a supervisor at the factory or something?"
The blond-haired youth is Song Lili's younger brother, named Song Jie. To be honest, Tang Ping has only met him a few times.
Seeing that Tang Ping didn't react, Song Jie said again, "If it's hard to arrange a factory job, I'm fine with being a manager at a KTV. I'm not picky. You can arrange it, cousin."
Tang Ping ignored him, but glanced at Song Guangyuan and said, "Uncle Song, we agreed last time that you would accept the 50,000 yuan, but now you're causing trouble again. What's going on here?"
Song Guangyuan shamelessly said, "Last time was last time, things are different now. Xiao Jie isn't married yet, and Lili is my daughter. Shouldn't she earn money to buy her younger brother a house and a car? Besides, Aping, you run such a big factory, giving you 50,000 yuan is too little, isn't it?"
The average wage for workers in Jinghai is only five or six hundred yuan. The 50,000 yuan that Tang Ping gave Song Guangyuan last time was already a huge sum of money. He just didn't want the trouble and wanted to get rid of Song Guangyuan completely.
But to my surprise, human greed is indeed insatiable.
It's likely that Song Guangyuan saw that he had recently made a fortune, so he came to his door hoping to extort another sum of money.
Aunt Tang Shuyun couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Song Guangyuan, have you no shame? Tang Ping's ability to make money is his skill, why should he give it to you?"
My cousin, Song Lili, also said angrily, "Dad, are you even human? My mom has already divorced you and finally had a period of peace. You can't stand to see us doing well, can you? From today onwards, I'm cutting ties with you. Please leave immediately!"
Song Guangyuan glared fiercely at his daughter and cursed, "You brat, how dare you talk to me like that? I think you've gotten too big for your britches! I'm your father, don't think you're something special just because you've been to school for a couple of days. Even if you fly to the sky, I'm still your father, and you have to take care of me for the rest of your life!"
"You shameless person!"
The two quickly started arguing, and the house became a mess.
Tang Ping quickly raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Uncle Song, just tell me directly, how much money are you planning to ask for this time?"
Upon hearing this, Song Guangyuan's eyes lit up. After thinking for a while, he said, "Aping, it's not that I love money, but you could arrange a job for your cousin. Look, he's almost twenty and still doesn't have a proper job. He'll need money for everything from getting married to having a son."
"How much? Just say it." Tang Ping said impatiently, tapping the table.
Song Guangyuan's eyes darted around, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "One million! One price, give us one million, and I swear I'll never bother you again."
Aunt Tang Shuyun couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Song Guangyuan, are you crazy? What right do you have to ask Aping for a million? We don't owe you anything!"
Song Guangyuan glared and said, "Get out of here, this is none of your business."
Tang Ping nodded and said, "Okay, how about this? It's too late today, and the bank is closed. Uncle Song, you see, my place is small and there's not enough room for you to stay. It's not easy for you to come all this way. I'll arrange a nice hotel for you to stay in first, and I'll withdraw the money for you tomorrow morning when the bank opens. Is that alright?"
Song Guangyuan was overjoyed and kept saying, "Okay, okay. Haha, you're so thoughtful, A-Ping."
Tang Ping then instructed, "Lin Yuan, drive over and arrange accommodations for them. My Uncle Song hasn't eaten yet, right? Remember to find a restaurant nearby, order some good wine and dishes, and send them over."
"Okay, boss."
"Oh, Ping, you're too kind. Xiao Jie, see? Your cousin is so generous!"
Having received the promise, and especially seeing the car outside the courtyard, Song Guangyuan left with his men, completely satisfied.
"Ah Ping, are you really going to give that beast a million?"
“Cousin, don’t give him a single penny. I know him too well. If you give him money once, he’ll do it again. Once the money is gone, he’ll come back to cause trouble. His oaths are like farts; you can’t believe them at all.”
Seeing that Song Guangyuan had left, Aunt Tang Shuyun and Cousin Song Lili quickly came over to say hello.
Tang Ping laughed and said, "One million? Are you kidding me? Do you really think I'm that stupid? Don't worry, I'll handle it. I'll try to resolve this once and for all this time."
After saying that, Tang Ping went outside the courtyard and made a phone call to Hu Xiandong.
"Brother Ping!"
"Get ready, teach a few people a lesson so they'll never dare come to Old Factory Street again. I'll send you the address in a bit. Just remember, don't kill anyone," Tang Ping said.
"clear!"
The KTV was still under renovation, and Hu Xiandong and his group were bored out of their minds. We needed to find them something to do so they wouldn't be bored.
Half an hour later, Lin Yuan returned.
"Is everything arranged?" Tang Ping asked.
Lin Yuan said, "It's all arranged. They're all staying at the Ruilai Hotel."
"Send the room number to Hu Xiandong, let's eat!"
Tang Ping nodded.
If Song Guangyuan could have gotten along well with his aunt Tang Shuyun, Tang Ping wouldn't have objected to their marriage. But this Song Guangyuan is a bastard; he took 50,000 yuan from me last time and he's still not satisfied.
Tang Ping wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson to avoid trouble.
After finishing his meal, Tang Ping was about to go back to rest when his cell phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Tang Ping asked, "Hello, who is this?"
"You were the one who orchestrated Guo Zhen's affair, weren't you?"
It was Xu Jiang's voice.
Tang Ping immediately laughed and said, "Boss Xu, you're overthinking it. Do you think I have that ability? I only heard some rumors about wanting your Bai Jinhan."
