On January 2nd, Qin Wenju drove Liang Liang for more than four hours and finally arrived in Lianwan City.
Normally, it takes a car about three hours to get there on this road.
However, a snowfall on the night of the 31st brought uncertainty to this road.
The sections of road with thick snow accumulation were not cleared, causing vehicles to waste too much time passing through.
As a result, they arrived in Lianwan City at 12:30 pm.
Upon arriving in Lianwan City, Qin Wenju contacted Zheng Tuo.
Unfortunately, Zheng Tuo and his wife, whom he had just found again, went on a trip to Songyang City. They left the day before yesterday and won't be back until tomorrow.
They still have to spend another day in Lianwan.
Liang Liang complained to Qin Wenju about why she hadn't contacted Zheng Tuo beforehand.
Little did he know that Qin Wenju had already contacted him beforehand; it turned out she already knew, but she didn't tell Su Liangliang.
Liang Liang ended up spending another night in the house that Qin Wenju had bought in Lianwan City, all in a daze.
"Manager Qin! I think we should have a proper talk about the money. We can't come up with that much money right now. I think you should ask for the money later so we can have some working capital. It would be best if we could settle the money by the Chinese New Year or May Day."
The speaker was a woman in her early thirties, and her tone was very forceful and somewhat aggressive.
This left Liang Liang speechless. Did this woman not know who was the primary and who was the secondary?
They are now in a position to ask Qin Wenju for more time to ask for the money.
Why do they look like they've come to collect a debt?
Even if you're used to being domineering, you can't use that in this situation.
In the office of the Maritime Ballroom, Qin Wenju and Liang Liang sat opposite a woman, who was Zheng Tuo's wife who had run off with someone else for several years.
Liang Liang had heard Zheng Tuo mention this woman before; she should be thirty years old this year.
It must be said that she is very beautiful and has a good figure, but there is a frivolous and dissolute air about her.
This kind of woman is unlikely to settle down and spend her whole life with one person. Since she could run away from Zheng Tuo once, she can run away a second time.
However, at this moment, she was sitting behind her desk with a menacing look on her face, as if someone owed her money and hadn't paid it back.
"Ms. Tao! Was it your idea to divide the shares of the dance hall? Since you two wanted to take all the profits and kicked me out, you should have cut the money in half when it came time to pay. What were you saying just now? You kicked me out but don't want to pay me?"
"Who said we don't want to pay? We just said we'd postpone it for a while."
"Hehe! Ms. Tao! Is your tone ordering me or begging me? If you're ordering me, you're not qualified. At least I'm a legitimate partner in these two nightclubs. When I started working with Brother Zheng, you were still nobody. If what you just said was asking me to postpone the payment, is your tone really that begging? Hehe! This is the first time I've ever seen someone beg like this."
The women argued, and Liang Liang remained silent.
I just listened quietly.
Zheng Tuo is at the new dance hall and is on his way.
"Six hundred and thirty thousand! Where can we come up with that much money all at once?!"
"That's your business, what does it have to do with me?"
Originally, she and Zheng Tuo were working together well, but then this woman appeared and kept making a fuss about taking back the operating rights of the two nightclubs. Now Qin Wenju has agreed to withdraw her shares, but you can't come up with the money.
What's going on here?
You kicked me out and then took my money to make ends meet? Isn't that treating Qin Wenju like a fool? Nobody would agree to that.
Just as the woman surnamed Tao was about to say something, the office door opened, and Zheng Tuo walked in, panting.
Zheng Tuo entered the house, nodded to Liang Liang, and then greeted Qin Wenju.
"Manager Qin is here?"
Qin Wenju rolled her eyes at Zheng Tuo but didn't say anything.
Zheng Tuo also noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit off; his wife and Qin Wenju both seemed a little angry.
"What happened? Xiao Liang! Tell me."
Liang Liang paused for a moment, then recounted exactly what had happened in the room over the past ten minutes.
Not a single word was added or omitted, not even a single punctuation mark was wrong.
"Manager Qin! My wife is wrong. That's just her temper. She doesn't think before she speaks. Please bear with her."
"Brother Zheng! Your wife is probably used to being domineering, and she probably acts like she's the only one who matters in front of everyone. I've already tolerated her several times during our negotiations on splitting the shares, thinking that although our cooperation hasn't been long, the experience has been quite pleasant, and I wanted to part ways amicably. But look at what your wife has said since we started discussing the split! Would any educated woman talk like that? Does she think she's Queen Elizabeth?"
Qin Wenju truly endured a lot of grievances in front of this woman.
When the two nightclub vehicles were being separated, this woman caused her to lose 170,000 yuan.
The original price was 800,000, but it has now become 630,000, and they are even planning to pay the money next May Day.
That's quite a scheme, it's almost too much.
Zheng Tuo frowned and glanced at his wife with some displeasure.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you still feeling sorry for her? I'm your wife, I'm the one who came here to live with you, you should side with me!"
Liang Liang lowered his head and scratched his forehead with his hand.
"A large forest has all kinds of birds, and a large population will produce all kinds of oddballs." This saying is so damn philosophical.
Even if you have a high opinion of yourself, you can't assume the world revolves around you.
"Manager Qin! We really don't have the funds on hand right now..."
Qin Wenju didn't let him finish speaking.
“Brother Zheng! If you were alone here, I would definitely consider your suggestion and delay the payment for a while. But with this woman here, who I don’t even know if she’s your wife now, nothing is negotiable. I suddenly realize she doesn’t seem to understand basic human decency. There are only two outcomes today: either give me the money and I’ll take it and leave, or if you don’t have the money, you can each have one of these nightclubs, and I’ll give you priority in choosing!”
Qin Wenju's words were very resolute, and it was clear that there was no room for negotiation.
This was all because of Zheng Tuo's wife.
I'm not going to argue with you anymore. One of you gives me the money, and the other gives me a nightclub. Everything else is off the table.
Zheng Tuo could naturally understand this meaning from Qin Wenju's tone.
The door where Qin Wenju was talking was already closed.
Zheng Tuo turned his gaze to Liang Liang.
"Xiao Liang! We've been through thick and thin together, so tell me about it!"
Giving one of the dance halls to Qin Wenju is a very poor choice.
A nightclub can make several thousand yuan a day, so he's reluctant to give it to others.
However, if he didn't give the dance hall the money, he didn't have enough cash to give Qin Wenju, so he had no choice but to ask Liang Liang for help.
