Chapter 218: Acting Gullible For The Sake Of Two Million
After all, his ‘poor’ imagination was unable to imagine a world there was an ability called [Verbal Canon].
In the staff meeting, Su Yang activated the intermediate [Verbal Canon] and [Angel Halo] for two minutes to build his prestige and trust in the hearts of the employees. This was so that they would feel at ease and continue working positively.
Walking through the office hall, Tang Dafa followed the receptionist to the general manager’s office.
The receptionist knocked on the door, and Su Yang was heard from the door, “Please come in.”
The receptionist pushed the door open, smiled sweetly at Tang Dafa, and extended her hand. “Mr. Tang, please.”
Tang Dafa’s chubby face blossomed into a smile, revealing that gold tooth in his mouth. “Thank you.”
Saying that, he shook his fat body and entered the office.
When he arrived at the office, Su Yang was looking at the doc.u.ments and didn’t even pay attention to him.
Tang Dafa wasn’t angry, and his eyes sized up this student he had seen barely two or three times. He was the same as before, dressing like a kind of young half-student. ‘I don’t know… Is it because he’s in charge of an SME company with dozens of people, or is it because he’s gone through some things… His temper seems significantly more stable.’
His line of thought put him in a trance, and he couldn’t even connect the figure in front of him who had his head down while working in an office, someone who had asked him for money in the past.
Just as Tang Dafa was sizing him up, Su Yang raised his head and took a glance at him, but he remained seated. Instead of greeting him, Su Yang said carelessly, “Ah, Mr. Tang. Is there something you came to see me about this time?”
Tang Dafa didn’t care about Su Yang’s disrespect. After all, Su Yang had the right to do so, especially after he defeated Jiang Yan.
He piled up a smile on his face and said, “I just remembered y’know, that we brothers haven’t seen each other for a long time! That’s why I came to see you.”
Su Yang looked at Tang Dafa once again and found that there was actually no embarra.s.sment or awkwardness on his face. He made it seem as if the two really had been good friends for many years.
He had to admire this thick-skinned effort from Tang Dafa. After all, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
In retaliation, he replied rudely, “We don’t seem to… know each other too well.”
Tang Dafa didn’t care how Su Yang was. He moved a chair from behind him and sat in front of the boss’s table. Then, he said with a particularly self-conscious smile, “What are you talking about, familiar and unfamiliar, pfft. When I first met you, Brother Su, I already felt like both of us was especially like-minded. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if two people have a good or bad relations.h.i.+p, or about having seen each other a few times to become familiar. Rather, it’s about fate!”
Su Yang was secretly admiring this way of thinking in his heart. ‘Ah, one really needs to be rather skillful to make it out in this world!’
Then, something even more admirable happened.
Tang Dafa took a box out from the bag he had brought with him and placed it on the table.
The box consisted of two parts. The upper part was a transparent gla.s.s cover, and the lower part was a base on which a golden horse sat.
Tang Dafa smiled and said, “I know Brother Su founded his own company, so I can only give you a pure solid gold horse since I don’t have any good gifts. Here’s to your good health and soaring success!”
‘Woah, a golden horse!’
Su Yang picked up the ornament and looked at it, measuring the weight in his hand. It was really solid gold, and a conservative estimate of its weight would be almost six or seven hundred grams. Now that the price of gold had risen, this golden horse was valued at two or three hundred thousand at least!
‘He’s giving away such a valuable thing?’ Su Yang couldn’t help but be a little impressed with the fatty in front of him.
When you try to raise your hand to hit the person who, despite being in the wrong, was still smiling and admitted their mistake, you’d definitely find trouble or feel embarra.s.sed to hit them. It was then that Su Yang showed a rare smile. “Mr. Tang is always so generous.”
Seeing Su Yang’s smile, Tang Dafa’s face was finally relieved, and he revealed an incomparably sincere smile. “There’s no need to tell me if I’m generous or not. It’s a great joy for you, Brother Su and as a brother, I’ve got to express my sincerity!”
Su Yang looked at Tang Dafa’s smiling face and thought deeply.
‘Although I don’t know why Tang Dafa was being so nice to me, I’m pretty sure the reasons were because I screwed Junqing over or it was because Jiang Yan gave in to me.
‘Anyway, this fatty isn’t a fool, so why don’t I take the opportunity to slaughter a wrongdoer?’
Thinking of this, Su Yang smiled and stood up, taking the initiative to pour a cup of water for Tang Dafa. “Brother Tang, this is really polite of you. Come, have a cup of water.”
After Tang Dafa took the water, Su Yang picked up the golden horse and put that back into Tang Dafa’s hand. “I really can’t accept this.”
Tang Dafa swallowed the water and put the golden horse back into Su Yang’s hands. “How can that be. It’s a gift for you.”
Seeing that Su Yang still wanted to excuse himself, he even pretended to be angry, “Brother Su, you’re looking down on me! There’s no reason to take back this thing that was given out as a gift.”
Su Yang sighed. “Hey, Brother Tang, it’s mainly because I’m not in the mood to receive something like this.”
Tang Dafa was stunned. ‘Is there such a thing as not being in the mood for a gift?’
However, as a smart man, Tang Dafa only gave it a little thought and guessed that Su Yang had something to say. So, he quickly said, “Is there something bothering you, Brother Su?”
Su Yang nodded his head heavily and moved a chair next to him. “I’m not hiding it from you, Big Brother Tang. This company is developing a bit fast, so the funds I have on hand are running out a little faster than expected.”
Tang Dafa’s was a little confused. ‘Is this his way of asking for money?’
He didn’t move a muscle and asked, “Brother Su, it’s inevitable that you’ll encounter difficulties when starting a company. I don’t know, the capital… Approximately how much is needed?”
Su Yang extended two fingers. “Two million.”
Tang Dafa sucked in his breath and hissed through his mouth and quietly sized up Su Yang, already treating Su Yang as a second-generation wealthy person who asked for large sums of money without hesitation.
However, thinking of Su Yang’s “background”, Tang Dafu put a smile on his face again. He patted his chest and replied, “No problem! Don’t worry Brother Su. This is a small amount of money so just leave it to me.”.
Su Yang smiled. ‘He’s definitely the boss of a gold shop! He’s so rich!’
For the sake of that 2 million, Su Yang began to accompany Tang Dafa in talking about all the things under the sky. After all, he’s now considered a rich man, to the point where even Qu Xiaoming offered him two million to get married!
He and Tang Dafa chatted for more than an hour. Both without good intentions, with one having his [Verbal Canon] turned on the entire time while the other was cheeky and shameless. Both were chatting in an incomparably optimistic manner, making it seem as if they were about to take a blood oath and become blood brothers!
After chatting until almost the end of the working day did Tang Dafa smile and take the initiative to go back first.
Su Yang accompanied him downstairs, and the two men smiled at each other to say goodbye.
After turning around, the same thought rose up in their hearts at the same time. ‘This guy is too gullible!’
Sending Tang Dafa away, Su Yang turned around to go back to the company, and the receptionist looked at him with interest.
Su Yang looked at her. “Why are you looking at me?”
The receptionist covered her mouth and snickered. “If I hadn’t led him in this afternoon, I would’ve thought you two were childhood friends. Surely people who can be bosses are not that simple.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Is the receptionist praising herself?’
…
With the two million from Tang Dafa as an emergency fund, the weight in Su Yang’s heart was lifted, and his heart felt much more relaxed.
After work, he jogged all the way to his neighborhood. As he jogged to the entrance, he heard several aunties in his neighborhood gossiping, “Hey, did you hear? Sixth Liu has been kicked out of his home by his wife!”
“I heard about it. I heard that it was Sixth Liu who drank too much, brought a woman home to fool around, and got caught red-handed by his wife on the couch.”
“Why on the couch?”
“I heard that Liu Laoliu can’t get onto the bed at all.”
“Yo… That’s really, tsk tsk.”
“His wife isn’t that much of a saint either! I heard she smashed up the whole house last night. Everything including the television, sofa, and refrigerator were all smashed. She also chased him around the house with a knife in an attempt to chop up Sixth Liu. He almost died in her hands if not for the fact that he ran so fast. He didn’t come home for the entire day, and I heard he asked for someone’s help to send the divorce papers. He didn’t dare to come home.”
The aunties in the neighborhood were always the most well-informed.
