Chapter 27: Treat Others in Their Own Way
Lawyer Wang handed the agreement, signed in a hurry with Lu’s mother earlier that day, to Mr. Tang.
Mr. Tang opened the contract with doubt.
He had thought Tang Ning was just going to discuss the matter with Lu Chizhou’s mother, but he didn’t expect the contract to be already signed.
“Let me see how you made 700 million.”
Father Tang didn’t take it seriously at first, but after he opened the contract, he felt something was wrong. Finally, he put on his reading glasses and asked in surprise, “Were all these signed by your Aunt Lu?”
“Yes.”
Tang’s father asked, “She only wants 1 billion to cut ties with us? Not only did she give up our Tang family’s shares, she also mortgaged her house and car to us?”
“Dad, it’s written in black and white on the contract. How can I lie to you?”
Father Tang couldn’t believe it.
The 5% stake of the Tang family could be sold for 1.5 billion yuan if it was easily resold outside, but the Lu family not only returned the shares for only 1 billion yuan, but also made so much mortgage.
This was simply unbelievable.
Tang’s father asked, “What is this mortgage all about?”
“Dad, doesn’t our family have shares in Lu’s? Aunt Lu can’t take out the money for those shares at once, so I asked Aunt Lu to make some mortgages of equal value, so that the money can be owed first.
If we can’t take out the money by the stipulated time, we can auction these mortgages to get our money back.”
After hearing what Tang Ning said, Tang’s father was a little surprised.
Before, when the Lu family owed their family money, they would at most write an IOU, and the repayment date was not written on the IOU.
Because he and the Lu family have been good friends for many years, he did not take the IOU too seriously.
In the past year or so, the Lu family has owed them tens of millions, but they are an orphan and a widow, and they always refuse to pay back the money, claiming that they are unable to repay.
Tang’s father did not expect that this time Tang Ning would actually be able to convince Lu’s mother to sign the mortgage contract.
Tang’s mother said, “However, the Lu family’s stock market is plummeting right now, and 5% of the shares are not worth that much money. Why would she sign so many mortgages?”
Tang Ning said, “Mom, the Lu family was a wealthy family after all. Aunt Lu doesn’t know much about finance and economics, so she naturally doesn’t know about the stock market. I praised the Lu family a little bit, and Aunt Lu agreed.”
Tang’s mother asked hesitantly, “But wouldn’t this be a bad idea?”
“What’s wrong with that? The Lu family owed us a lot of money this year, and they have no intention of paying it back. Today, Aunt Lu showed me her jewelry, which is worth at least tens of millions.
It’s clear that they don’t have the money to pay it back, but they just don’t want to pay it back. Besides, now that everyone knows that the Lu family owes us a debt, we are willing to pay them back, which is also our utmost kindness.”
Tang Ning looked at Tang’s parents and said, “Mom and Dad, we need to be loyal when doing business, but if the other party doesn’t appreciate it, we don’t have to be too soft-hearted.”
Tang Ning would never forget how the Lu family treated their Tang family in their previous life.
In this life, she just treats others in their own way.
“Ningning is right. We have helped the Lu family a lot recently. It’s time for that.”
Father Tang nodded heavily and said, “They need money. We can prepare cash for them as soon as possible. This is also a normal transaction. Since the contract has been signed, we will do it according to the contract.”
After Tang’s father finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion: “By the way, who came up with this idea?”
Lawyer Wang was about to praise Tang Ning, but she answered first, “Lawyer Wang! Of course it’s Lawyer Wang!”
Lawyer Wang was stunned.
Father Tang looked at Lawyer Wang, nodded with satisfaction, and said, “Xiao Wang, you did a good job. I’ll approve your bonus for this month!”
“Mr. Tang, I…”
Lawyer Wang glanced at Tang Ning, who was standing by and said seriously, “Dad, you don’t know how amazing Lawyer Wang is. I’ve learned a lot from working with Lawyer Wang this time. How can this month’s bonus be enough? I think the year-end bonus should go to Lawyer Wang.”
Lawyer Wang: “…”
Tang’s father praised: “Xiao Wang, you did a good job. I will approve your year-end bonus and this month’s bonus!”
“Thank you, Mr. Tang.”
Lawyer Wang had a constipated expression and did not show any joy at all.
It would be great if this was really his idea. At least he can take the money with a clear conscience.
Tang Ning was still smiling carefreely, as if Lawyer Wang was the real hero this time and she was just going through the motions.
The next day, the contract was quickly stamped and the money was transferred to Lu’s account in batches in the afternoon.
The Lu family’s crisis was temporarily resolved.
Lu Yanchen looked at Tang Ning who was studying leisurely in the room. He walked in with a bag of strawberries and placed it on a corner of the desk.
Although Lu Yanchen’s movements were very gentle, they still caught Tang Ning’s attention.
Tang Ning took off her English headphones and asked in confusion, “Why did you get off work so early today?”
“School starts the day after tomorrow, so I don’t have to go starting tomorrow.”
As Lu Yanchen spoke, Tang Ning couldn’t wait to open the shopping bag in front of her.
Inside was a box of washed strawberries with their stems removed.
“Strawberries are expensive this season, right? It’s not easy for you to make money, so don’t spend money recklessly next time.”
Tang Ning said this, but her hands were not idle. She quickly took a piece of strawberry and put it in her mouth.
Although it was summer vacation, Lu Yanchen would still go out to do odd jobs every now and then. Every time he came back, Lu Yanchen would bring her some fresh fruits or desserts.
Although she had advised him every time, Lu Yanchen never listened once.
“I still have enough money for a box of strawberries.” Lu Yanchen looked at Tang Ning with a faint smile in his eyes, “Eat slowly. I’m going to study now.”
“Wait a moment!”
Before Lu Yanchen could react, Tang Ning chased after him and stuffed a strawberry into his mouth.
Lu Yanchen was stunned for a moment, and felt a sweet taste in his mouth, a taste he had never tasted before.
Tang Ning looked at Lu Yanchen’s stunned expression and asked in confusion, “Is it delicious?”
“tasty.”
“It’s delicious, eat more.”
Tang Ning split the strawberry in half for Lu Yanchen.
She knew clearly that every time Lu Yanchen went out to work, he earned money through hard work, and he might not even earn a hundred yuan a day.
But the strawberries I gave her were 30 yuan per pound.
When he was in school, Lu Yanchen lived frugally. Even though high school was the time for growth, he never spent money on food he liked.
“By the way, I saw that your previous pair of shoes was a bit old, so I bought you a new pair.”
