Ten million?
Just to ask a question?
Everyone looked at Dongtō Ryūkawa as if he were an idiot or a madman.
What kind of question was worth ten million?
Even with the currency of your country, ten million was still a considerable sum!
"It's the currency of Sam country," Dongtō Ryūkawa said again!
Good heavens, this was unbelievable!
This was even more different! Had this little devil's head been squeezed? Or was he not awake at all?
Otherwise, why would he be talking nonsense here?
"Little factory manager, don't pay attention to him, there must be a conspiracy."
Feng Daochun whispered into Wang Yu's ear. Not only him, but everyone else thought the same: unusual occurrences must have a cause!
Wang Yu naturally understood the logic behind it, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he calmly looked at the group.
"I believe you wouldn't come to give me money for no reason. What are your other conditions? Tell me everything."
"Heh heh, Mr. Wang's insight is keen," Dongtō Ryūkawa nodded. "We have one more small condition. If Mr. Wang cannot solve this problem, then you must publicly declare that Jack Luo, whom you previously defeated the Qinglu Group against, only won due to good luck, and that you yourself are untalented and a glory-seeker.
Of course, we will arrange all the publicity work for this. Overseas media and channels will report it simultaneously, all to save face for the Qinglu Group.
Oh, and be sure to kneel and bow to show your sincerity."
Dongtō Ryūkawa's unhurried words immediately made everyone's expression change. These words were too insidious! And it had to be a public statement overseas?
Wouldn't that be an international humiliation?
And kneeling and bowing to show sincerity? Wasn't this simply an insult?
As expected, those little devils were not good people! This guy was as wicked as he looked!
Immediately, all the workers became agitated. Brothers Hu and others, in particular, started to curse, looking as if they were about to start a physical fight.
"Heh heh, what if I refuse?"
Wang Yu raised his hand to stop everyone, then tilted his head and asked.
However, his gaze was fixed on Wu Wanman. It was clear that these people were brought by her. He wondered what this woman's background was.
She could obtain the bid documents for East Horse Country previously, and now she had brought over an expert team from the multinational Qinglu Group?
The experts of this era were not comparable to the "brick experts" and professors of later generations. They were truly skilled and educated individuals with high standards!
It was impossible to invite such people without some real ability!
This could be seen by referencing how the Qinglu Group had invited Old Master Zhou previously; they were practically begging him.
"If you refuse, it's fine. We will still hold the press conference, announcing that you fled without a fight, dared not face the people from our Qinglu Group, and chose to escape. In reality, you are just a clown who is untalented and seeking attention!"
Dongtō Ryūkawa spoke again, clearly having thought out all their lines, without Wang Yu's agreement.
"Well? Do you want to agree? If you win, you get ten million!" Wu Wanman said with a smile, adding fuel to the fire, "If you win, you'll have both substance and face. My useless sister might be able to hold her head up."
"Lingling and I have a cooperative relationship, not the kind of extra relationship you're talking about," Wang Yu said seriously to Wu Wanman.
Of course, he still had a good impression of the straightforward and heroic Wu Lingling, and there was no need to say it here.
"Who are you fooling? She's even living at your place!" Wu Wanman screamed excitedly, "You two scoundrels, if it weren't for seeing..."
"Enough!" Wang Yu suddenly spoke, his expression changing to anger for the first time, losing his usual gentle smile.
"Wang Yu!" Wu Lingling also rushed over, suddenly grabbing Wang Yu's hand and saying in a low voice, "Don't agree to their demands."
"Don't agree? Sister, you're not afraid that your man will lose, are you?" Wu Wanman sneered. She wasn't surprised to see Wu Lingling. She said unceremoniously, "You want to rely on such a small fry and a small factory like this to turn things around? I'm telling you, you can't beat my brother!"
"Hmph, we'll see who can win in the future," Wu Lingling snorted with her head held high, then whispered to Wang Yu, "Promise me, don't agree to their demands."
Wang Yu gently patted the hand Wu Lingling held, signaling her not to worry.
Wang Yu walked forward slowly, his gaze sweeping over Wu Wanman and the others.
"First of all, I reiterate, my sister and I have no improper relationship. You, as a young woman, making groundless assumptions about others is an extremely malicious insult to personal dignity, especially since she is your sister."
"Wang Yu! My sister, she just..." Wu Lingling tried to say something.
"You, wait a moment," Wang Yu stopped her with his hand, then formally addressed Wu Wanman.
"I don't care about your background or who you're backed by. Your so-called problems have nothing to do with me. No matter how weak or insufficient my factory is, it may not be much in your eyes, but the factory is the pillar of support for all of us. Everyone here is our family. How we manage our own families is not for you to comment on or dictate."
Having said this, Wang Yu looked around at all the workers, then at Wu Lingling, and saw her looking at him with a gentle, helpless gaze.
This kind of soft and helpless expression was the first time he had seen it on her, who was usually strong and generous.
"So, whether it's for your sister or for our entire factory family, I've decided to agree to your request! Bring on whatever skills you have. If I flinch, I'm not a man!"
Wang Yu's words were forceful and resounded throughout the warehouse, immediately drawing cheers from all the workers.
"Good! Little factory manager has guts!"
"That's right, a real man doesn't back down!"
"Why should we be afraid? They've already come to our doorstep. If we still compromise, we might as well castrate ourselves."
"Let's do it!"
...
The workers responded enthusiastically, feeling that Wang Yu was exactly what they wanted. Even the people from the state-owned factory were fired up.
Only a few people and the cadres from the automobile factory frowned. Since they could make such a request, they were likely here with ill intentions. Otherwise, why would they be giving them money?
Would the little factory manager's rash agreement lead to disaster? Although he was a genius, he was still young and easily tricked by a provocation! This was quite troublesome!
For a moment, a small group of people's expressions became slightly somber.
"Refreshing!" Wu Wanman's beautiful and charming face showed a hint of smug satisfaction. She looked at Wang Yu with admiration. "You do have some backbone. It seems your sister didn't choose a completely useless person! It's just that I wonder if you'll still have this much spirit when you lose."
"Very good. Since Mr. Wang has promised, words alone are not enough. Let's have a written agreement," Dongtō Ryūkawa nodded, then took out a well-made, gilded invitation from his pocket.
"To prevent anyone from going back on their word, seven days from now, we will host a banquet at a five-star hotel in the provincial capital of your province, inviting people from all walks of life to witness the signing of the agreement. We hope you will arrive on time."
So, these guys were well-prepared.
Wang Yu silently took the invitation, but without opening it, he handed it directly to Wu Lingling.
"I will be there on time."
"In that case, we won't disturb Mr. Wang and Miss Lingling anymore," Dongtō Ryūkawa bowed again.
Then, he muttered a few words in a foreign language with the other international friends, and they all turned and left in a rush.
They left so quickly and cleanly, without leaving any menacing words like "if you have the guts, come," as if they were not worried about whether Wang Yu would show up.
Wu Wanman, however, looked at Wang Yu with a gloating expression. A playful, wicked smile suddenly appeared on her charming face, and she formed a word with her brightly lipsticked lips.
Wang Yu saw it clearly, and the meaning was—you're dead!
Then, she walked away gracefully, like a cat, her movements very seductive.
Watching them leave, Wu Lingling finally spoke with a stiff expression.
"Wang Yu, you're really in trouble this time."
