556 Temptation of Money

The people who came to Zhong Liang’s house knew what they were doing. They just wanted to know what kind of price the boss behind Zhong Liang could offer.

Now, it seemed that the annual income of 50,000 yuan was worth it.

This was very tempting. After all, it was almost twice their annual income from selling agricultural products.

After Zhong Liang said this, he answered the various questions of the residents of Qinghe Village.

After more than half an hour, Zhong Liang was confident that all 30 people present that day would agree to sign the contract.

As long as these 30 people could split from Qinghe Village, the following matters would be much easier to handle.

Just as everyone stood up and was about to leave Zhong Liang’s house, Zhong Liang suddenly spoke.

“Everyone, don’t be in a hurry to leave. President Yang asked me to prepare a little gift for everyone,” Zhong Liang said with a smile.

“Xiao Shan, go and get the things.” As soon as Zhong Liang finished speaking, Xiao Shan stood up. After half a minute, a box was handed to Zhong Liang.

With the help of the dim candlelight, Zhong Liang opened the box.

“Other than me, there are a total of 35 people present. I know that everyone is still a little hesitant about collaborating with President Yang. After all, the price is a little high. However, since I, Zhong Liang, made this suggestion, I am fighting for the goal of benefiting everyone,” Zhong Liang said with a light smile.

The box was opened, and inside were neat stacks of hundred-yuan bills.

“I told President Yang that if he wants to work together, we can’t just sign the contract. He has to show his sincerity. Therefore, everyone here today can get 10,000 yuan in cash, even if you don’t sign the contract when you go back. This is an expression of my sincerity to everyone, and it’s also the limit of what I can do. I hope you don’t mind,” Zhong Liang continued.

Seeing the tempting stacks of cash under the candlelight and Zhong Liang’s young but calm face, everyone felt their thoughts being firmly attracted by Zhong Liang’s every move.

10,000 yuan in cash was not a small amount. This was the money they could earn only after working for half a year. Now, with Zhong Liang’s mediation, they could get it without paying any price.

Of course, that was what they thought.

Zhong Liang looked at everyone, feeling unusually satisfied.

He suddenly remembered a movie he had watched a few years ago that left a deep impression on him. It was called The Godfather. He still remembered a line from the movie.

“I’ll make them an offer they can’t refuse,” Zhong Liang thought to himself.

He was like this now. Although Zhong Liang could not be compared to the godfather in the movie, at this moment, he had undoubtedly made it impossible for the more than 30 residents of Qinghe Village to reject his conditions.

“Is it really free?” Someone gulped and asked greedily.

“Of course.” Zhong Liang nodded proudly.

“Yuan Zhen.”

“Feng Yao.”

…

Zhong Liang called out the names of the Qinghe villagers present as he distributed the money one by one.

Elsewhere, Chu Ning brought Yan Shen to tour the interior of The Parade that was under construction.

“Why do you have such a strange title as Stunning Beauty?” Yan Shen asked with a smile.

“It’s the nickname they gave me. Sometimes, I really can’t understand the way these artists think. Their nicknames are even weirder. If you come here often in the future, maybe they’ll give you a nickname too,” Chu Ning said weakly.

“Interesting. You’re really a bold person,” Yan Shen lamented.

He only felt that Chu Ning seemed to be interested in everything. Of course, Yan Shen felt that this was not a bad thing either. Being young meant that she had the capital to try and make mistakes.

Chu Ning did not tell Yan Shen about her predicament. She felt that it was unnecessary. If Yan Shen had not come today, she did not have the intention of having too much interaction with him.

Even though Yan Shen’s family background was very deeply rooted in M City, he did not care about his identity when the unexpected happened.

Chu Ning did not want Yan Shen to get involved in a silent dispute because of her.

“Actually…”

“I think…”

Chu Ning and Yan Shen spoke at the same time.

“Go ahead.”

“You go first.”

The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.

“Chu Ning, you have to live well. There’s no need to rush some things. You shouldn’t have caused such a huge commotion that night. You have more and more enemies in M City.” When they reached a secluded corner, the two of them sat on a rusty steel frame and chatted.

“I know what I’m doing. Some things have already been done. I just have to face it bravely,” Chu Ning replied softly.

Chu Ning was ready to counterattack.

She would not let off anyone who stood against her!

However, when she heard Yan Shen’s tone, she felt that it was a little strange.
