Yi Hai's heart softened, and he rubbed his temples wearily. "I'm sorry, Ruyi, I lost my composure! I shouldn't have doubted you, it's just..." This blow was too heavy.
With nearly two billion in compensation, where would he come up with so much money all at once? Does he really want to end up in court and be so embarrassed?
"Second Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you clearly don't have the skills, so why do you insist on taking on a job you're not qualified for!" Just then, Yi Laosan's sarcastic voice rang out from the doorway, "To please an outsider, you're even willing to go against your own family. My wife was bullied so badly and you even kicked her out of the venue. Don't you think this is karma?"
Yi Hai's face darkened. "Third brother, what are you doing here! Are you here to make a fool of me?"
"Second Brother, what are you saying? Of course I've come to visit you in your illness." Yi Laosan smiled with a malicious grin.
Yi Hai said impatiently, "Now that you've finished reading, you can get lost."
A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken has ulterior motives.
"Second Uncle, why are you being so rude to my father?" Yi Gui followed behind his father, his face sour, and said disdainfully, "How old are you? You've made such a fool of yourself. Now the news outside is mocking the Yi family. If these rumors can't be stopped, our Yi family's reputation will plummet!"
"Shut up! How dare you, a junior, lecture us elders?" Yi Hai had a strong sense of self-respect, and he couldn't believe his nephew was daring to lecturing him.
"Alright, Second Brother, stop putting on airs." Third Brother Yi curled his lip in disdain. "Things have gotten this big. If you don't resolve this, and it gets involved with Eldest Brother, he'll definitely make you regret it!"
Yi Hai thought to himself, "Am I really afraid of him?"
But considering the secrets the four brothers were hiding, they couldn't afford to break off relations.
Liu Ruyi spoke up at the opportune moment: "Third brother! Stop making sarcastic remarks. Can't you give your second brother some advice?"
"Then I need to find out, Second Brother, how much money are you going to pay this time?" Old Man Yi asked with a curious look.
Yi Hai gritted his teeth, knowing that there was no point in hiding it, so he could only reveal a number.
"2.5 billion?" Yi Laosan gasped. "No way, Second Brother, even if I lost a lot before, it was only two or three hundred million. But you, you want 2.5 billion in one go. How is it possible to raise that much in seven days?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Hai became furious.
He has always been cautious and careful in running his business, and rarely makes mistakes or loses money.
Unlike this good-for-nothing third brother, who loses tens of millions in just one trip to the casino.
Now, he realized he wasn't even as good as his third brother, and he immediately retorted angrily, "Weren't you the one giving me advice? Why are you spouting so much nonsense!"
"Hey, I'm trying to help you and you're yelling at me!" Yi Laosan was about to lose his temper when Yi Gui stopped him. "Second Uncle, don't be angry! I have an idea that can solve your immediate problem."
Yi Hai's eyes lit up: "Go ahead."
A sinister glint flashed across Yi Gui's eyes. "We can't help you, but you can ask your good nephew Yi Qilin for help! He's more capable than me and has the ability to make money. Now that his second uncle is in trouble, if he doesn't lend a hand, he'll be watching the whole family fall into difficulties! That would be unfilial."
That's clearly a form of moral blackmail.
But Yi Hai didn't feel anything was wrong at all. Instead, he rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a long time before gradually nodding.
Yi Gui smirked smugly.
His greatest pleasure in life is to drag Yi Qilin down with him, make his life miserable, prevent his projects from being completed, and make him suffer as a result.
...
That evening, as soon as Yi Hai was discharged from the hospital, he went straight to Yi Lao Si's house and made a request to Yi Qilin.
“Good nephew! There’s no way I could raise 2.5 billion in seven days. Even with a bank loan, it wouldn’t come through that quickly! Besides, everyone outside is laughing at the Yi family, and all my business partners are avoiding me like the plague. Who would be willing to lend me money?”
Yi Hai looked distressed. "I'm really at my wit's end. I know you're the best at making money. Please, I beg you, help your second uncle this time. I'm pleading with you. Please remember how much I've doted on you since you were little, taking you out to play and buying you so many gifts..."
He kept rambling on and on, but Yi Qilin didn't even flinch.
It seemed that his arrival was not a big surprise, or even as if it had been prepared in advance.
When Yi Hai was almost dry from talking, Yi Qilin finally spoke up: "Second Uncle, even if you didn't say anything, I would still help you. It's only 2.5 billion, as long as you agree to one condition!"
Yi Hai's eyes lit up. "Don't even mention one condition, ten are no problem."
He really hadn't expected his nephew to be so capable. It seems he had been hiding his true abilities all along!
The next second, Yi Qilin said calmly, "As long as you are willing to transfer 3% of your shares to me, I will help you through this difficult time."
"What did you say?!" Yi Hai's expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened.
Of the Yi family's shares, Old Madam Yi controls 30%, her four brothers each control 15%, and the other shareholders control the remaining 10%.
If 3 points are transferred to Yi Qilin, the balance among the four brothers will be broken.
It's unimaginable what the situation will be like then.
Yi Qilin tilted his head in confusion, "Didn't Second Uncle want to solve the immediate crisis? Isn't he even willing to make this small sacrifice?"
"You're forcing me!" Yi Hai's face darkened, and he threatened angrily, "If I don't give it to you, will you stop helping me solve the problem? Are you just going to watch the Yi family's reputation be ruined?"
"I will use time to restore the reputation of the Yi family." Yi Qilin paused here, looked at him meaningfully, and said, "I just don't know if Second Uncle has that much time left to wait."
"You..." Yi Hai was so angry that his nose almost crooked.
That brat!
He appears to be a charming and polite person on the surface; in reality, he is insidious and cunning, and even more calculating than he imagined.
"Do you really need this 3% stake? Does your father agree? Don't you know that we four brothers are of one mind? If this balance is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable?" Yi Hai's tone was sinister.
"You don't need to worry about Father." Yi Qilin rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired. "Second Uncle, if you don't agree, then there's nothing more to discuss. I want to rest."
Yi Hai felt a sense of frustration and helplessness.
wild ambition!
Jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards!!
He really underestimated the other party.
But now that things have come to this, he has no way out.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I promise you."
