Xiao Weiguo walked slowly up to him, leaned close to his ear, and whispered something.
"I'll let you go as long as you settle all your accounts. Whether you've broken the law or not is the government's business. I'm just a businessman; all I care about is money."
After saying that, he patted Bai Huaqing on the shoulder, smiled, and stepped aside to see how Bai Huaqing would react.
At this moment, Bai Huaqing was no longer as arrogant as usual, and sweat was pouring down his face in the cold weather.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled out a check from his pocket, and growled at Xiao Liu, who was holding the checkbook, with red eyes.
"Bill, please."
Hearing this, Xiao Liu smiled sweetly.
"Alright, thank you for your patronage. The total is 43,146,455 yuan. Thank you, boss, may you prosper."
Without even thinking, Xiao Liu rattled off a string of numbers.
Bai Huaqing stared at him, his hand holding the check frozen in place.
Did you plan this all along and wait for me here?
With over 40 million in service fees, could you possibly buy ten guesthouses like yours?
You guys are really daring to ask for that.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xiao Liu pushed the ledger in her hand forward.
"Sir, thank you for your patronage."
Xiao Weiguo chimed in from the side.
"The prestigious Bai family wouldn't even try to renege on this small amount of money, would they? What if we leave late... tsk tsk."
He didn't say what he was going to say next, leaving it for Bai Huaqing to figure out for himself.
Bai Huaqing ultimately chose to give in.
Just as Xiao Weiguo said, if news came from Yaji, it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave.
When the time comes, no matter how much money it costs, don't go back to Hong Kong.
Although I'll definitely get scolded when I get back after spending this money, it's still better than spending my whole life in jail in mainland China, right?
"How much? Say it again."
Bai Huaqing, pen and check in hand, was prepared to be ripped off.
He is now a huge, fat sheep, completely at the mercy of others.
"Xiao Liu, round it up to a whole number. The boss has spent so much, we should give him some face. Let's just forget about the odd amount."
Xiao Weiguo kindly reminded Xiao Liu not to be too dark-skinned.
"Yes, Chairman."
Then he turned to Bai Huaqing and said.
"The total is 43,146,455 yuan. I'll round it down to 43,146,450 yuan for you."
Xiao Liu was quick-witted enough to know that the chairman had been trying to get rid of this guy from the beginning, so he didn't hold back at all.
Bai Huaqing was stunned again.
Damn, is this how you round down to zero? You're rounding down five dollars from over forty million? Do you think I care?
He picked up a pen and scribbled on the check.
The exact amount of money was written down on it.
He tore it off with a "rip" and tossed it to Xiao Liu, saying it in a huff.
"I don't need your five dollars."
Then, he turned to Xiao Weiguo and said.
"Now, can I leave?"
Xiao Weiguo stepped to the side and waved to the security guards.
Everyone, please make way and let Mr. Bai go back. Our shop is too small to accommodate such a large statue.
The security guards had no choice but to listen to Xiao Weiguo. As soon as he finished speaking, they quickly made way for him.
"Let's go."
Bai Huaqing waved his hand and led his men hurriedly outside. Upon reaching the parking area, they opened the car doors and climbed in.
As soon as they left, Xiao Weiguo quickly called out to Xiao Liu.
"Go to the finance office immediately and cash all of Bai's checks, then transfer them to our company account."
Xiao Weiguo knew that Bai Huaqing wouldn't escape. They would be caught by the county bureau soon, and if his funds were frozen, all those checks from the Bai family in the company's account would be impossible to cash.
In total, Bai Huaqing was extorted—oh, no, he was charged nearly 60 million yuan, which is no small sum.
"Okay, Chairman."
After hearing this, Xiao Liu grabbed the check and ran like the wind to the company's general accounting department.
"Alright, everyone, disperse. Once the funds arrive, everyone here will benefit."
"Long live Chairman Xiao!"
The employees were overjoyed to see that Xiao Weiguo had actually gotten the money back.
Thirty-odd employees swindled Bai Huaqing out of more than 40 million yuan in service fees. What does that mean?
On average, each person receives over a million yuan. If they could actually get this money, they would be set for life.
Amid cheers, everyone gradually dispersed. Xiao Weiguo leisurely walked towards his office.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Panlong Building, they saw a large group of police officers surrounding Bai Huaqing's four luxury cars.
Bai Huaqing climbed out of the car, and his eyes inadvertently fell on Xiao Weiguo.
Instantly, two murderous gazes shot over.
He now realized that he had been tricked by Xiao Weiguo from the very beginning.
From the very first day he moved in, they were plotting against him, and they were secretly pleased to have found an opportunity to get close to Zhang Damao.
Little did he know, this was all arranged by Xiao Weiguo, who from the very beginning was just to swindle his money and then send him to jail.
Xiao Weiguo stood leisurely downstairs watching the commotion, completely unaffected by his gaze. Only after Bai Huaqing and his group were all handcuffed and stuffed into police cars did he turn around with a smile and head towards the elevator.
Upstairs in Xiao Weiguo's office, Jiao Bai and Zhang Damao's family had already finished washing up.
Old Zhang and his wife sat on the soft sofa, sipping tea that their secretary, Fang Mei, had prepared for them.
