Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 606, page 196: Credit Bankruptcy

The lawyer's words silenced the entire Wen family. Now, the money in their pockets depended on Liangzai Sheng's attitude. If Liangzai Sheng made a concession, the Wen family would still have a chance to maneuver.

Misfortune and bad luck come one after another, and you can resist them, but if they all come at once, no one can stop them.

However, Zhou Miaoyun and Fu Wenpei knew in their hearts that Liangzai Sheng would not back down. Even if Liangzai Sheng did not design the predicament that the Wen family was facing, he had certainly contributed to it.

Fu Wenpei was not only worried about the business, but also about her son. The Sun family law firm went to close the office early in the morning, but it was already afternoon and there was still no news. The situation must be very bad.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Zhou Miaoyun, sensing her daughter-in-law's anger, and sneered inwardly. Zhuang Lu was right; the Wen family was now surrounded on all sides.

As long as Handsome Sheng can protect her little boy, she doesn't care if he becomes a double agent and suffers infamy.

The mouth of a green bamboo snake, the stinger of a wasp's tail.

Both are acceptable, but the most poisonous heart is that of a woman!

Besides, even if I don't act as a double agent, Zhou Miaoyun will still take action!

The atmosphere in the small meeting room was very tense, and everyone present had their own ulterior motives!

In this oppressive atmosphere, Chi Mengli and Xiren walked into the Yihe Insurance office area, chatting and laughing. They immediately saw Wen Hailiang with a cold face. Without hesitation, he took Xiren's hand and led her to the door of the small conference room, knocking on the door.

"Please come in!"

Seeing that the handsome young man had won, the Wen family members, no matter how unwilling they were, all showed smiles.

Wen Hailiang spoke up, letting the handsome young man Sheng in.

"Uncle Wen, Happy New Year! I know you like fishing, so I specially chose a Hardy Gold Series fishing rod. But I was worried that the ones sold in Hong Kong wouldn't be authentic, so I specially sent someone to buy them from your family."

"It's a small gift but carries great sentiment, Uncle Wen, please forgive me!"

Chi Mengli took the initiative to shake hands with Wen Hailiang, who was sitting in a chair, using both hands to give her former boss a lot of face, completely disregarding the fact that she was the one in the advantage.

Wen Hailiang was very satisfied with Chi Mengli's performance. Even if Chi Mengli washed off the mud, he was still one of his henchmen and had to give him face.

"I received the gift!"

"Ah Sheng, you're so thoughtful!"

Wen Hailiang patted Chi Mengli's hand, turned his gaze to Xiren behind Chi Mengli, and said with a smile, "New classmate?"

Upon hearing Wen Laogui's question, Chi Mengli straightened up, put her arm around Xiren's waist, and said, "This is my girlfriend. She is currently the Vice President of Operations and Public Relations at AKB Company. Her name is Xiren, Hua Xiren."

Xi Ren, a seasoned socialite, also gave a polite smile and greeted Old Man Wen: "Hello, Uncle Wen!"

There are no tycoons with the surname Hua in Hong Kong's business world, nor are there any prominent figures with the surname Hua in the world of fame and fortune.

But Wen Hailiang didn't care. Hong Kong is an international metropolis, and it's normal for people to come and go. People who immigrate to Canada and Australia will also return to Hong Kong to do business.

He nodded, patted the chair next to him to let Chi Mengli and Xiren sit down, and then said, "I opened the gift myself and I'm very satisfied. You, Asheng, are a master at giving gifts!"

"Tianxin, you should learn more from Asheng!"

Wen Hailiang glanced at Wen Tianxin, who was sitting next to him, looking uneasy, and scolded him, telling him not to hold back and not to embarrass himself.

“You good-for-nothing rascal, you’ve dragged me down with you, Ah Sheng.” “It’s embarrassing to say, but if we don’t say something and pretend we don’t understand, it’ll only make things harder for everyone.”

"Ah Sheng, we all have to listen to you, young man, on which way to go!"

"All your resentment and anger are directed at this old body of mine!"

Wen Hailiang directly appealed to emotions, steer the conversation toward serious matters.

Hearing Wen Laogui start using emotional tactics, Chi Mengli sneered inwardly. Wen Laogui was playing the emotional card now, but when he teamed up with Hei A Hu to kill her, he wouldn't hesitate for a second.

However, he still remembered what Shen Xianjin said: one should give way to one's boss, but one should give way in a way that is worthwhile, so that the whole of Hong Kong knows that one is a kind and righteous boss.

Giving way is neither a big deal nor a matter of winning or losing; someone will do the dirty work for you!

"Uncle Wen, what are you saying! In front of you, I'll always be just a lackey!"

"I've already won over the board of directors of RiriFresh! They have nothing to say in the face of last year's profits! Doing business is all about data and numbers!"

"As long as there's a future, even if I said the sun would rise in the west today, the board members would still say I'm right!"

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

"Uncle Wen, I hereby guarantee, I pledge, that this time we will get along peacefully and will not lose face for anyone."

"However, Uncle Wen, as I just said, the board of directors looks at performance. I'm already taking a huge risk by agreeing to postpone Tian Tian Fish Farm's project!"

"I discussed it with several major shareholders and listened to their opinions. We agreed to the extension, but the advertising losses and the additional premiums for the three phases will have to be paid by Tiantian Fish Farm Company!"

"As for Jardine Matheson Insurance, that's something you'll have to get through yourself, Uncle Wen."

"Three phases, which is about a week, I think Uncle Wen can solve all the problems, right?"

Chi Mengli gave Wen Hailiang a huge reassurance: seven days was enough time to come up with a solution, and it was still possible. If they breached the contract, the compensation would be 500 million Hong Kong dollars, which would drain all of the Wen family's cash flow.

With these seven days, the Wen family could go to various seafood shops to buy goods. Hong Kong not only has large seafood shops, but also countless small and medium-sized shops selling goods from both the north and south.

As long as the money is in place, we can collect it from each store one by one and definitely gather the amount that Daily Fresh needs.

Besides, the goods from Southeast Asia have already been transported back by plane, which can help hold out for a while.

"Ah Sheng, you're one of us! Family! No need for words of thanks, the Wen family will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Wen Hailiang was very satisfied with Chi Mengli's attitude. The premiums for each period of Yihe Insurance were not a small amount, but compared to the compensation, they were a small amount.

The Wen family can afford a sum of several million per phase!
"Chi Sheng, Wen Sheng, the main conference room is ready. We can talk about anything you want to say in the main conference room."

Xia Jiade and Dan Sijie walked into the small conference room and reminded Chi Mengli and Wen Hailiang that the conference room was ready and they could start talking about serious matters.

Wen Hailiang stood up from his chair, and the rest of the Wen family followed suit, walking out of the small conference room.

After the Wen family and legal team had all left, Xia Jiade spoke up: "Mr. Chi, last night, Mr. Simon chaired a closed-door meeting of the claims department of Jardine Matheson Insurance."

"Tian Tian Fish Farm Company's credit rating with Jardine Matheson Insurance has been downgraded to B!"
