Chapter 766 — Negotiation Shu
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"So stingy — no wonder your skyscraper collapsed. If you keep being this stingy, it'll collapse again in a bit." Shen Yushu's mind was filled entirely with collapsing skyscrapers, so that was the only topic she ever brought up.
"Even if it collapses, that's no concern of yours." Zhao Qibing was seething. This little girl's conscience was rotten to the core — why did she keep wishing for my skyscraper to collapse? What good would a collapsed skyscraper do you?
Of course, if Zhao Qibing had known that Shen Yushu wanted the skyscraper to collapse purely for the amusement of watching it, one wonders whether he would have dropped dead on the spot from fury.
Tang's mother's heart skipped a beat. Three million! It had climbed by another million in the blink of an eye? No, surely not? Could this style of negotiating actually produce results? Tang's mother was rather astonished. Was this truly how rich people negotiated? Was she simply too ignorant of the wider world? Could it be that Shen Yushu was actually helping her family?
By now the doubt in Tang's mother's heart had vanished. Whatever method Shen Yushu used, so long as she could negotiate the compensation higher, that was enough — who cared what she said!
"Oh, Brother Arrow, he'll only give three million. I'm no good at this — you take over!" Shen Yushu felt that having talked him up by an extra million was already quite a feat.
Only, there was something slightly suggestive about Shen Yushu's words...
"I'm no good at this — you get on top!"
Wei Zhao broke out in a sweat at once. Why did it always feel like some kind of hint?
Gu Mengyao seemed to have caught the impropriety as well, but with Tang Zhi and her mother present, she could hardly say anything.
If Gu Mengyao could hear it, then Tang Zhi certainly could too. She glanced at Shen Yushu, unable to tell whether the words were deliberate or innocent. Tang Zhi had always felt that Shen Yushu was not nearly as foolish as she appeared — that she was playing some deeper game. Of course, Tang Zhi had no proof; on the surface, Shen Yushu really did seem foolish.
"Oh, right, I'll go up," Wei Zhao said, pretending he had not caught the implication.
As for Tang Zhi's mother, her mind was not on such things at all. Her attention was fixed entirely on that extra million; she had no thought to spare for anything else.
Zhao Qibing, Li Cihua, and Su Jiaonang were the same. Their focus was on keeping Wei Zhao and the others steady, to buy enough time for Zhang Yuzhou on the other side.
"That's enough, Zhao Qibing. Stop adding a million at a time and name your bottom line." Wei Zhao had no idea what game Zhao Qibing was playing, and so had no way of knowing where his bottom line lay.
Even now, Wei Zhao still could not quite see just why Zhao Qibing had summoned him here.
Was it merely to pay relocation compensation to Tang Zhi's family? Wei Zhao did not believe that for a moment — unless Zhao Qibing had water on the brain, and Li Cihua and Su Jiaonang along with him!
Besides, Zhao Qibing had raised the compensation from two million to three million so easily. If so, it seemed the figure could keep climbing.
"Five million. That's my bottom line," Zhao Qibing said. "But I have a condition as well."
"What condition?" Wei Zhao frowned. Was this finally the real reason he had been brought here?
"Keep your hands off the shantytown demolition! I'll give you five million, and you can take part of it to compensate whatever neighbors you're close to. But do not obstruct our company's demolition plan!" Zhao Qibing paused, then spoke with great solemnity.
