Lao Hei squinted his eyes and sneered, "I, Lao Hei, have always been honest in business. We agreed on 28 million yuan. Now we have both money and goods, so there is no problem!"
Wang Nianqiang slapped the table loudly, "I said 28 million taels!"
Lao Hei laughed, "It's your fault. I didn't make it clear just now. I quoted the price per coin!"
Wang Nianqiang roared angrily, "Leave that fucking Zhang Zuolin for me, take the money and get out!"
Lao Hei didn't flinch, "If I want Zhang Zuolin, get another 28 million!"
The two sides are at war with each other and are about to fall out completely.
At this time, Zhang Yongzhong stood up and said, "Let me be fair to you two. One of you didn't explain clearly, and the other took the opportunity to raise the price. Mr. Bao couldn't figure out this even when he came. Why don't I come up with a compromise for you?" !”
Lao Hei and Wang Nianqiang looked over sideways, and the hostility on their faces dissipated a bit.
"What kind of compromise can you come up with, Lao Zhang?"
Zhang Yongzhong smiled and said, "It's very simple. I just heard that this man has two silver coins in his hand. You bought one for 28 million and sold the remaining one to me. Wouldn't everyone be happy in this way?"
Wang Nianqiang was so angry that he could not speak as he had expected that this guy would take advantage of the situation.
Lao Hei's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Okay, you can also take 28 million, and that silver dollar is yours!"
Zhang Yongzhong said, "Twenty-eight million is the price you discussed just now. This is another business, and the price needs to be renegotiated. To tell you the truth, I only have 10 million, not even a penny more!"
At first, everyone thought that Lao Hei would continue to raise the price, but unexpectedly, he made a decision directly.
"Okay, if I can sell it for 10 million more, I'll be satisfied. This Zhang Zuolin belongs to you!"
Wang Nianqiang and Zhang Yongzhong were immediately blushing. Especially Wang Nianqiang, who spent an extra 18 million, felt unbalanced and was so angry that he almost died.
Lao Hei took out another silver dollar and tossed it in his hand, "One hand of money, one hand of goods, the money will be delivered!"
Zhang Yong was overjoyed in the center. This time he had completed the task and saved more than 10 million. He immediately shouted to his subordinates without revealing anything, "Go and bring the money in!"
...
Zhang Jiaqiang drove into a garden-style courtyard not far from the river and stopped in front of an ancient villa.
Security personnel immediately came forward and opened the car door.
Chu Waner jumped out of the car first, followed closely by Jiang Xinxin.
The two of them walked into the villa gate easily without waiting for Zhang Jiaqiang.
This is Chu Waner's home. She and her parents usually live here, and Jiang Xinxin is also a frequent visitor.
Zhang Jiaqiang looked at the backs of these two ladies and shook his head helplessly.
With their noble and quiet appearance now, no one can recall the image of them needing a beating an hour ago. Life is really like a drama, which makes people sigh.
Zhang Jiaqiang came here for the first time. As he walked along, he felt that it was glorious and majestic, with a noble aura that made people dare not look directly at it, but it lacked a bit of the quiet elegance of the old lady's villa.
"Jia Qiang, Aunt Liu has been waiting for you for a long time. Come and sit in the restaurant. Our food is ready!"
Liu Luoying greeted Zhang Jiaqiang warmly and treated him like a distinguished guest.
Zhang Jiaqiang was a little flattered and hurriedly handed the gift in his hand to the butler.
"Auntie, I kept you waiting for a long time. If I hadn't been pestered by two girls, I would have been here long ago!"
Liu Luoying glanced at the brocade box that Zhang Jiaqiang brought. Although she had not opened it, she could feel that the items were valuable.
"You kid, when you come home, you just treat it as home. Why do you bring anything with you? It's outrageous. You won't allow it anymore!"
Zhang Jiaqiang fell half a step behind and said with a smile.
"I just treat it as my own home, and I never come home empty-handed!"
Liu Luoying covered her mouth and smiled, pointing to the Western-style dining table and saying, "You will be the host and guest. Uncle Chu will have a chat with you later when he comes back from get off work!"
As soon as Zhang Jiaqiang sat down, there was a burst of chirping from upstairs.
Then the two girls who changed out of their home clothes came down the stairs.
"Mom, you won't just invite Brother Qiang to dinner, will you forget about us?"
The spoiler came, and Zhang Jiaqiang showed a relaxed smile.
Liu Luoying smiled helplessly and shook her head.
"Mom, can you still ignore your meal? The protagonist today is your strong brother. You two can only be supporting roles. Sit down obediently!"
The two girls smiled like foxes and sat on either side of Zhang Jiaqiang.
Liu Luoying saw it, and black lines appeared on her forehead, but she couldn't express it clearly, so she hurriedly asked the butler to serve food and wine to cover up her embarrassment.
The Chu family had already made preparations, and the dishes were served quickly. In the blink of an eye, the tables were lined with cups and plates.
"Jia Qiang, when you come to the house, you don't have to be so particular about it. Just drink something white. This is thirty-year-old wine. If it's not top-notch, Auntie will also have a drink with you!"
Zhang Jiaqiang knew in his heart that this was just a smokescreen, and the real meat of the show would be when the main character returns later.
So drink as little as possible and be sure to stay sober, otherwise you won't be able to resist when that old fox comes on stage.
Fortunately, the two girls made jokes and made the family dinner less awkward.
Liu Luoying saw Zhang Jiaqiang's wariness and was secretly angry, but it was hard to get angry. She put down the wine glass in her hand and asked softly.
"Jia Qiang, I heard that you want to invest in the film and television industry and plan to shoot a TV series from the seaside. I wonder if you have found the actors? Do you need aunt's help?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This aunt was a big movie star back then and had a lot of connections in the film and television industry. If she could help, she would definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
But if you agree, it will be equivalent to owing a favor again, and you will not be able to refuse no matter what request you make.
Zhang Jiaqiang declined directly, "This time I am purely practicing, and I plan to use new people. Regardless of success or failure, I will just accumulate experience, so I won't bother Auntie!"
Liu Luoying chuckled and said, "Auntie didn't say she wanted to help you with the filming. She also wanted to introduce you to new people. There is a director who is quite talented. He has been making documentaries and science and education films in the past. I think it won't be a big problem for him to make TV series. I think you should be able to give young people a chance!”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't refuse, so he had to say.
"Since Auntie strongly recommends it, I will meet and chat with him. I wonder if he is in the Magic City?"
Liu Luoying said, "Then let's make an agreement. I'll ask him to go to the hotel to find you tomorrow morning!"
Not tomorrow morning, Zhang Jiaqiang agreed to take the old lady to the airport.
At present, he didn't know whether the Chu family knew about the old lady's departure, so he couldn't reveal it, so he had to find an excuse and ask the director to come back at noon.
Although he didn't dare to drink, Zhang Jiaqiang was forced to drink a few drinks and his head began to feel dizzy.
At this moment, the sound of someone entering was heard from the other side of the door, and then Chu Xiangbei's bold laughter rang out.
"Is Jia Qiang here? I came back at the right time!"
When the real host arrived, everyone in the family hurriedly greeted him, and the meal officially began.
Chu Xiangbei walked over with a smile on his face. When he saw the two girls present, he also showed a hint of surprise, which was quickly covered up by a kind smile.
"My dear daughter and Xinxin are here too. Today is August 15th. This is a reunion banquet!"
Chu Xiangbei walked to the table and held Zhang Jiaqiang's hand, "Jia Qiang, come to uncle's study first. I have two things to tell you!"
Zhang Jiaqiang's palms were pinched so hard that he subconsciously twitched them back.
Chu Xiangbei said with concern, "Hey, Jia Qiang, your palm is injured?"
