Father Jing froze and immediately told him why they were here today.
“Ummm…. Third Young Master, I heard that there will be a new developmental area in the West this time and there are a lot of software companies that will move to that region, converting it into a new city. I might be able to get a piece of land in that area but…”
Father Jing rubbed his hands and continued, “You are aware that my company is still in its starting phase and I may not have enough amount of money to get the land.”
“How much do you need?” Zhan Lichuan asked.
“One billion.”
Jing Qian couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Father Jing’s reply.
When they saw Jing Qian’s reaction, not only Mother Jin, even Father Jing was angry at her.
They were standing right in front of Zhan Lichuan, so he didn’t dare to say a thing, but deep inside, he felt that Jing Qian was indeed an unfilial child.
“Do you both have any misunderstanding about the contract?”
“No, no!” Father Jing quickly denied it.
“We were aware of the terms on the contract, so I wouldn’t take your help for granted. If you are able to invest 1 billion, I will give you 49% of my company’s shares. I can promise you that this will definitely bring you profit with no loss.”
Zhan Lichuan smiled and said, “There isn’t a project that would only bring profit with no loss. If that’s the case, why should I lend you the money?”
Father Jing didn’t know what to say.
“Why don’t I buy the land myself, build the houses and then sell them? Why should I give you the money and allow you to invest, only getting 49% of the shares in return? Mr. Jing, I am the Director of the Ops Corporates, not some 20-year-old dumb, inexperienced youngster.”
After being roasted by Zhan Lichuan, Father Jing’s face displayed an array of colors, turning from red to white as he was feeling deeply embarrassed.
“Third Young Master, we are Qianqian’s parents after all. One billion may be difficult for other families but for the Zhan family, who is one of the richest families in the world, it’s just a small amount.” Mother Zhan opened her mouth arrogantly.
“So the money that I earned should be given to you?”
Zhan Lichuan might be smiling, but when Mother Jing looked in his eyes, she lost her courage.
“But we’re Qianqian’s parents!” Mother Jing said with her head held up high.
“No one is denying the fact that you are her parents. It’s true that children are responsible for taking care of their parents, but this does not include investing 1 billion into your company. Mrs. Jing, when the both of you have truly lost the ability to earn for yourself, I would get my lawyer to transfer 7000 every month for your monthly expenses. That should be enough for you to live on for the rest of your life.”
“You…”
Mother Jing got so angry at Zhan Lichuan that she was at a loss for words.
She truly felt that Zhan Lichuan was much more evil compared to Jing Qian.
“Third Young Master, I went to you because I have no other choice. If you don’t want to then…. can you give it to me as a loan? I’ll write you a contract, and as soon as I have the money, I will return it back to you.”
“Isn’t this even worse compared to the 49% of your shares? You are just asking for money from a stranger just to make yourself rich. You would only return the money when you make a fortune with no interest. Aren’t you just trying to gain something worthy with something that’s worth nothing? Wow…” Jing Qian was really shocked by how shameless these two could be and couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Father Jing was mad at how Jing Qian was humiliating him. His face turned dark, and he warned her, “Ah Chuan is a stranger?”
“If he’s not, is he your family then? If you went back to the olden days, you would be a poor farmer who had just sold your daughter to a landowner, thereby acquiring a huge fortune. Then now, you’re telling him…. your daughter is married to him which then makes you his father. His money is yours as well. There shouldn’t be so much hostility between the two of you.”
Father Jing was speechless.
“I was married to the landowner, not his silly son. Even if I did marry the silly son, the landowner is now inside the VIP ward. What were you thinking?”
Zhan Lichuan couldn’t help but feel that he had been alluded to.
