Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gao Hua knew very well that in the end, it was just a few words. It was better to save time for both sides.
“Wei Long, you should know that money is just a number to me. As long as you can do what I tell you to do, this number will be transferred to your account without anyone knowing.”
In fact, Wei Long had already thought it through. For the two million yuan, he would agree to Gao Hua’s request when they met in three days. The reason why he didn’t say it clearly was only to highlight his difficulties.
However, he did not expect that because of his hesitation, he would get another million yuan for himself. This was only through the phone. Gao Hua could not see the emotional changes on Wei Long’s face. He did not know that at this moment, he was already grinning.
Wei Long pretended to hesitate for a while. He no longer had the intention to refuse. He was just pretending.
“If you still don’t want the three million yuan, then I can only consider changing the person.” Gao Hua also issued the final announcement.
At this moment, Wei Long knew that playing hard to get had reached its limit. He hurriedly said, “I can promise you. You’ll be in charge of paying, and I’ll be in charge of doing things. The division of labor is clear.”
“Alright, I’ve been waiting for you to say this. Then it’s settled. Since you’ve already agreed, there’s no need to wait another three days.” Gao Hua’s eyes were sharp. “It’s still the same time tomorrow afternoon. I’m still waiting for you in the coffee shop. Let’s discuss our next plan together.”
“No problem.” With that, Wei Long hung up.
Shan Yue, who was still unaware of what was about to happen, was sitting beside Zhou Xuan. With the last bite of the candied hawthorn, Zhou Xuan threw the skewer into the trash can.
“How does it taste?” Although Shan Yue did not eat it, she was still a little curious when she saw Zhou Xuan’s expression. “I bought it from the shop with the most positive reviews. If it’s not delicious, you can’t blame me. You can only blame that shop.”
“It’s really… delicious.”
Zhou Xuan paused for a moment before saying this. Although the taste had changed drastically from when he was young, there were some similarities.
It was this stick of candied hawthorn that evoked Zhou Xuan’s nostalgia for his childhood. At that time, he was the complete opposite of what he was now. He had the companionship of his family and a carefree life.
It was not like now, where there were schemes and plots everywhere. As long as one was not careful, he would fall into a trap that others had planned in advance and never be able to make a comeback.
Not only did he have to compete in the business world, but he also had to worry about his personal safety from time to time. To put it bluntly, he could not relax at all with this kind of life with his head on his belt.
Only in front of Shan Yue could Zhou Xuan lower his guard slightly. This was because he knew very well that Shan Yue would definitely be the person who helped him in the future. It was even more likely that she would be the benefactor in his life.
She had already helped him too much. Perhaps it was when Shan Yue helped take down the Las Vegas project, or when Shan Yue saved his life in Pang Village.
No matter what, Zhou Xuan’s heart was no longer the same as before. It had long changed.
“When 1 was young, 1 remember my mother buying candied hawthorn for me to eat. Unfortunately, 1 won’t have the chance anymore. The memory will forever be fixed at the most beautiful moment.”
Zhou Xuan’s expression was a little melancholic. As expected, no matter how strong a person’s appearance was, they would always have an unknown weakness in their hearts. “But I’m already used to it. In the past, I never expected another person to distract me, be it in terms of friendship or love.”
“Birth, old age, illness, and death are the norm. President Zhou, you shouldn’t be discouraged. Everyone has their own difficulties. This is unavoidable.”
Shan Yue’s eyes were filled with encouragement, as if she could give him strength invisibly. “You should be glad that you still had your mother’s company when you were young. You still had beautiful memories with her before. Even if she leaves now, she will watch you from the sky and accompany you all the time..”
