Chapter 551 - The Negotiator, The Little AngelChapter 551: The Negotiator, The Little Angel
The Golden City sent an official to negotiate with Shen Qianshu.
The official brought a few translators, and Shen Qianshu brought one too. As they sat at the table, Jack was being a witness by the side. With his status, he alone was enough. The official did not find any problems with it, and he even asked for money righteously.
The diamond was auctioned for 30.1 billion, and Jonah had promised to give them a share of 40%. That would be 12 billion USD. Now, the contract was changed such that Ye Ling had twenty percent, 6 billion USD.
Nothing less!
Once they paid the sum of money, the matters regarding Ye Ling injuring others would be treated as if they had not happened. The Golden City would not look further into the matter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShen Qianshu laughed. “This diamond was auctioned truthfully. Noah spent 30 billion to bid for this diamond, but we have not received the money. How could we pay you? Furthermore, Jonah had gotten people to raise the price intentionally. This diamond is not worth 30 billion. Even 6 billion is too much! I do not agree with this!”
The official was really dissatisfied. “Since Noah had bid for this diamond, he would definitely pay for it. No matter whose hands this diamond falls in, it would still be sold to Noah in the end. Even if the price is lowered, it can’t be lowered much. Do you mean Ye Ling’s life is not worth the 6 billion?”
“Ye Ling’s life is, of course, priceless. This diamond was exchanged with his life. Without your laissez-faire, Jonah would not have been able to successfully auction the diamond. Now that an incident occurred, Ye Ling is Mr. Jack’s informant, and he is helping Mr. Jack to do things. The injured person is also a heinous person who had injured people of the Golden City. It is purely accidental. If you continue to demand for more, we will wait for the wounded to claim. If you want to arrest Ye Ling, you can do it. I will expose this matter immediately. If this matter is exposed, which jeweler would still dare to do business with your city ever again? You are all a bunch of bloodsuckers!”
The official was badly angered. “What do you want?”
“Fifty million!”
“No way. That’s too little.”
“Take it or leave it!” Shen Qianshu said. Her attitude was really arrogant. “Ye Ling’s unconscious. He almost got killed thanks to all of you. We are at a loss. Fine, we’ll deal with it, but don’t go overboard! This fifty million does not come easily. We have conditions too!”
The official looked towards Jack. When he discussed with Jack earlier on, they had said that if things did not go well, he would speak up. Fifty million was too little, and they could not accept that. However, Jack looked down and did not respond to him. It had nothing to do with him.
“If this matter gets exposed, it would not do Ye Ling any good. He is a beast!”
“So what if he is? If you have what it takes, don’t ask for the beast’s money.” Shen Qianshu sneered. “You take his money, and you want his life. Now, you have the face to call him a beast? I think all of you are just greedy monsters.”
The debate had come to the state where they could not go on any longer.
Intermission.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJack and Shen Qianshu looked at each other and parted.
Negotiation was a form of art. Shen Qianshu put out all her conditions and refused to budge from the beginning. The Golden City stood firm on their decisions as well. However, there was still room for compromising.
After the intermission break, the few officials who were here to negotiate were having a heated discussion.
Suddenly, someone barged in. “Ye Ling has woken up!”
Everyone was silent for about a minute.
“How did he wake up so quickly?”
“What?” A man stood up in a fluster. “Hurry, hurry. Sign the contract with Miss Shen now!”
