Chapter 502: Chapter 493: Are You Out of Your Mind!
Actually, Su Qing didnāt understand why this person was so obsessed with finding him, even to the point of having a verbal conflict with Shen Yi.
Of course, this also had to do with Shen Yiās rather impolite tone.
But none of that matters, when it comes to his own woman, if he doesnāt stand on her side, whatās the point of being in a relationship?
Besides, he didnāt think Shen Yi was in the wrong here. You want to collaborate, I donāt want to, so I turned you down, and then you get upset? Whoās indulging your bad habits?
However, being a man, he couldnāt just stand by and watch such a thing happen in front of him. Since the issue started because of him, he was never going to hide behind Shen Yi and let his girlfriend defend him. Otherwise, it wouldnāt be a sister-brother romance but rather finding a mom.
As a man, you have to have a bit of responsibility and courage.
"What the hell are you barking about?" This sentence left Hu Liangcai on the other end bewildered.
Compared to Shen Yiās very firm tone, this was more like a Gen Z style, not even a verbal confrontation, just straight-up cursing.
But fortunately, Hu Liangcai was a calculated person and wouldnāt directly curse back like the young and impetuous Su Qing. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? Arenāt you looking for me? You tell me who I am?" Su Qing said in a low voice.
Originally, the two didnāt know each other, and now youāre pulling this, who else should I curse if not you? What are you pretending for?
Perhaps in a few years, around his thirties, Su Qing wouldnāt handle it this way, but now heās only in his early twenties and has made so much money, if he doesnāt act cocky now, when should he?
Did he have to wait until heās sixty or seventy to dance in the park with old ladies and say to the old men, "Thereās a time for everything"?
Do whatever matches your age, young people should be proactive. Renowned comedic performance artists once said, if youāre not proud before thirty, you probably wonāt amount to much; after thirty, if youāre still proud, you certainly wonāt amount to much.
Heās only in his early twenties. If he acts like an old man now, itād be ridiculous. Heās just offering some commentary, not reliving life. He doesnāt have the emotional intelligence, nor will he endure.
All he knows now is that idiot on the phone was challenging his girlfriend.
"Su Qing?"
"Itās me. Canāt I choose not to make money with you?" Su Qing said flatly, his tone rigid, killing the conversation.
Seeing this, although Shen Yi was a bit angry just now, the corner of her mouth lifted slightly right away, here he was, her man stood up.
Even though she could totally handle this little matter herself, her innate strong woman nature still made her wish to have someone to rely on.
Even if she usually appeared strong and acted decisively, if the person she liked stood up for her, she would still be very happy.
Just like the last time with Xu Feng, maybe it was because she was used to being independent and strong, she particularly liked this feeling of being protected.
"Mr. Su, Iām sorry, I lost my composure earlier. I sincerely want to discuss the collaboration issue with you."
Upon hearing that this was indeed the person he was looking for, Hu Liangcaiās attitude changed immediately. After all, no one wants to miss out on money.
As long as the benefits are tempting enough, not to mention apologies, he could do even more repulsive things.
And given Su Qingās current influence on the stock market, he knew that if this person was willing to recommend his companyās stocks, with their capital and preparation, they could completely turn the tables, which wasnāt just a matter of a few hundred million.
Su Qing naturally understood this. Once he could enter the market with ten million and earn back three hundred million, then for a company, how much could they profit? He couldnāt even calculate it. Even if the stock market now wasnāt what it used to be.
"Your tone just now didnāt sound like someone who wanted to discuss collaboration. You see, Iām young, and have quite the temper, and Iām not short of money. I really donāt care about your five million. Itās not even a fraction of what I make trading stocks. Why does it seem like I owe you a favor? Do you really think of that five million as money?" Su Qing sneered, not giving him any face.
Hearing this, Hu Liangcai felt a heavy heart. He realized he might have acted impulsively because they never really thought a young man in his early twenties could refuse five million. They didnāt have a reason to believe Su Qing would refuse, so they had always assumed it was a sure thing.
But now he was a bit shaken. Although Su Qingās words were impolite, for his own interest, he still bit his lip and said:
"Iām really sorry, Mr. Su. I can apologize to Miss Shen. Sorry, I got headstrong just now. If possible, I could set up a table at Gongyao Mansion in the capital to apologize to both of you, Mr. Su, what do you think..."
One has to say, his attitude was indeed impeccable. Gongyao Mansion is one of the best and most expensive restaurants in the capital. Setting up a table there certainly isnāt cheap, and his attitude was very humble.
But none of the people present were lacking money, including him. Who needs your meal? Do I have to go all the way to the capital to eat?
"Forget the meal. I donāt dine with people I donāt know well, and besides, Iām not even in the capital now. As for the stock, Iām not interested, find someone else. Iām just a small influencer, there are plenty of big shots online, spend some money and it can be done, no need to contact me. Besides, I was beside her just now, and I didnāt want to hear your call. Do you understand now?"
Hearing this, Hu Liangcai thought maybe his offer wasnāt enough, and quickly said, "Mr. Su, if youāre not satisfied with the conditions, you could raise them. Canāt we at least have a chance to negotiate?"
"Itās not a matter of giving a chance, itās that if I ask for more, you wonāt give it; if I ask for less, I take on the risk, which isnāt worth it. This kind of thing is a one-time deal. I may be young, but Iām not dumb. Five million... huh, I actually donāt find it appealing at all."
Upon hearing this, instead of being shocked, Hu Liangcai was pleased. His biggest fear was that Su Qing would have no conditions at all and directly refuse, but since there were conditions, it was negotiable, itās just a matter of increasing the offer.
"In that case, Mr. Su, why donāt you tell me your conditions? As long as I can fulfill them, I definitely wonāt hesitate."
"Conditions? Sure, 1 billion, transferred to a personal account, and sent to an overseas account, then I might consider it." With this, Su Qing just blurted it out.
It was nonsense, yet not entirely absurd, considering it wasnāt in US dollars, nor was it in the hundreds of billions. But realistically, who would spend a billion just to hire someone for advertising? Itās not foolishness, is it?
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi quickly covered her mouth beside him, afraid she would burst into laughter, because she knew her man started spouting nonsense.
As expected, hearing this, Hu Liangcaiās face on the other end darkened, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Su, thatās quite a big joke, isnāt it?"
"You think Iām joking with you?"
"Arenāt you? Our side can offer up to 10 million, but what you mentioned about personal accounts and overseas accounts, thatās indeed a bit difficult," Hu Liangcai said.
"Sigh," Su Qing sighed and said, "This is why I donāt like chatting with you people, damn it, all calculations. Your condition is actually the joke here, right?
Do you really think I donāt know the risks? Am I the fool here? Once I agree, if your company operates, once things get big, guess who gets investigated? Me. Iām the one risking jail time, and youāre just offering me 10 million, and through a company account, are you out of your mind!"
