You want to talk about feelings with people, but they just want to talk about money with you!
Knowing Mr. Lin’s situation all too well, and yet you still rush to be "looked down upon" again?
ng Lang explained that he’s just in a normal "early split personality phase," definitely not a masochist.
Problems that can be solved with money aren’t really problems for him now.
We’re all nouveau riche, who looks down on whom!
If it weren’t so heavy, ng Lang wouldn’t have just brought a suitcase of cash as a eting gift. He would have surely hired an armored truck to bring a few million and slap it in front of Mr. Lin, to let him experience what "visual impact" ans!
With cash paving the way, the negotiation atmosphere was harmonious.
In less than half an hour, ng Lang fulfilled his wish to leave with Lin Haitang from her future father-in-law’s house...
Lin Haitang stopped and looked back at the little building where her family lived, asking sowhat confusedly.
"Are we... leaving just like that?"
"Ah! What else? Unless you want to stay for dinner? The kitchen pots must be rusty by now, right?"
"I didn’t an that..." Lin Haitang felt sothing unspeakably odd, and suspiciously stared at ng Lang.
"Did you guys talk about sothing after you avoided and went into the bedroom? Why did you both co out looking so delightfully happy?"
"It’s nothing, I just borrowed sothing from your dad..."
"What thing?"
"Of course, your household registration book!"
ng Lang chuckled, took out a red booklet from his pocket, and shook it proudly...
Lin Haitang: "..."
She widened her eyes, are you serious?
We haven’t even gotten to the point of discussing marriage, and you got my household registration book? What do you an?
"You..." Lin Haitang gritted her teeth. "Do you not think this way is despicable?"
Things developed in a way completely unexpected for Lin Haitang, different from what she had imagined.
Rather than being angry, she was more panicked...
"Despicable?" ng Lang looked innocently at Lin Haitang.
"Are you saying there’s a problem with my communication thod?"
"Isn’t there? This seems... seems like just a transaction!"
"How can you say that? The bride’s family receiving a bridal gift is a tradition in Country Hua for thousands of years, how co it’s a transaction when it’s ?
Others send cigarettes and wine, calligraphy, or antiques to cater to tastes.
I give money, and it’s also catering to tastes. Who said it can’t be cash?
Oh! Others send cigarettes and wine with sincerity, but I send money and it’s a love transaction?"
"You... you’re twisting things!"
"How is that twisting things? Although there’s a move against exorbitant bride prices now, the country can control everything, but surely can’t control our family’s mutual agreent, right?
Both parties willing, see, isn’t everyone happy now?
You oppose so much...you don’t seriously hope that I and your dad have a falling out, do you?"
Lin Haitang was suddenly at a loss for words.
She couldn’t answer "yes," could she?
No, no! We only agreed on eting the parents, how did this suddenly beco a dowry discussion?
Isn’t this unplanned developnt happening too fast?
"Even if you wanted to please him, you didn’t have to give so much all at once..." Lin Haitang said helplessly.
That suitcase was packed full, at least half a million to six hundred thousand in cash...
She suddenly thought of sothing.
"No way! Even if you gave him five or six hundred thousand, he wouldn’t possibly give you the household registration book, right?"
With his appetite, five or six hundred thousand wouldn’t be enough...
"Of course not, I also gave him a bank card with 13 million, more than enough to pay off the debts."
Upon hearing this, Lin Haitang’s eyes instantly widened.
Thirteen million?! Where did you get...
Wait!
"Mr. Hu said yesterday... you made over ten million in the stock market, is that true?"
"Yes! To be precise, it’s 14 million."
ng Lang didn’t hide it.
Wanting to throw money at people ans such huge assets can’t be hidden. Otherwise, when Mr. Hu ntioned it last night, he wouldn’t have let Lin Haitang be present.
"So, previously you couldn’t afford Weiwei’s rent and all that... was all an act?"
"Hey! Absolutely not! I swear, that was truly the lowest point of my life before my dramatic coback!"
Lin Haitang looked at him with a complex expression for a mont.
"I heard you also invested a million in Gao Yuan’s Changqing Biological. How much are you actually worth now?"
"That million was a ’loan’, not an investnt. It wasn’t long before Chairman Gao returned it to . If you don’t believe , I’ll show you the transfer records.
I just made a small profit of a few hundred thousand in interest, hehe..."
ng Lang was telling the truth. Ever since his life trajectory beca increasingly absurd, he realized the importance of "clear boundaries between public and private", and that his private little savings must be separated from Gao Yuan’s side.
A million high-risk loan just for tens of thousands in interest?
Who are you trying to fool!
Lin Haitang was a bit skeptical. "This over ten million of yours... Are you sure it’s not your organization’s money?"
When they first t, ng Lang’s poverty really did not look like an act. It was called bare to the walls, even taking the bus everywhere.
But suddenly making a precise investnt and earning a big hit without any prior finance industry experience...
To say it’s purely luck, Lin Haitang would absolutely not believe it.
Who doesn’t know in the stock market, the only guaranteed win is "information asymtry"?
Investors who dare to go in without mastering the information asymtry, 99% of them are just the ones being taken advantage of...
And intelligence organizations are best at exploiting information asymtry, right?
So this ten million or so... could it be organizational funds issued through special channels by the other party?
As for why it was through the stock market...
Hmm... Money from secret organizations like this usually can’t be disclosed publicly. Tens of thousands can still be in cash, but if you want to issue over ten million legally and reasonably, don’t you need to launder it first?
Who said that a formal platform like this can’t be used for laundering?
Low-level players can only rely on underground banks and have to pay a significant commission. High-level players have long abandoned that thod.
She once handled an economic dispute case. It was about a big shot who used dirty money to set up a shell company, inflated profits on paper by throwing money at it, then greased the right palms to package it for going public. The last step was to boast and inflate the stock price to cash out...
See, with the complete set of "wash, blow, cut," the money imdiately becos clean.
Not only does it incur no extra costs, but they can also take advantage of the situation to reap more profits from others...
Of course, ng Lang didn’t know that in such a short ti, Lin Haitang had already imagined a detailed "asset capitalization route" for the All Things Return to One Union in her mind.
He touched his nose.
"Ahem! In a certain sense, you could say so!"
Trading for it with a brother’s Miserable Life... If it isn’t organizational funds, it’d be hard to justify.
Lin Haitang’s eyes widened at once.
"Then your behavior today... does it count as embezzling public funds?"
"Uh... well..."
For a mont, ng Lang didn’t know how to explain it away.
Can I say that within the organization, the distinction between "public funds" and "private funds" is actually quite blurry?
The entire organization is just , a lone commander, so there’s no need for such clear separations, right...
"Ahem! Our organization is actually very humane, focusing on trust rather than suspicion!
This funding can be used for office work, or for personal matters; you’re free to use it as you wish.
Besides, which company doesn’t have a budget for team-building events? The extra can be considered employee benefits, quite understandable, right?"
Understand what!
How can embezzling public funds be equated to employee benefits?
How has your organization managed to not go bankrupt up until today?
"Then why didn’t you tell us earlier?" Lin Haitang asked in a lancholic tone.
"You never asked, did you? Should I be shouting everywhere that I’ve beco a millionaire through stock trading?
That’s completely against the national call for prosperity through hard work.
Besides, Xiao Yu said, your most despised type is the nouveau riche..." ng Lang winked at her.
Lin Haitang: "..."
"Then why are you willing to tell now..."
"Well, that’s because... I have finally returned to poverty..."
With an easygoing expression, ng Lang made a gesture of turning his pockets inside out.
"Lawyer Lin, I am truly penniless now, can’t even afford a ticket ho.
You must be responsible for , don’t just leave after ssing up!"
Seeing ng Lang with his roguish cheeky grin, Lin Haitang’s expression turned complex, her heart flooding with a mixture of feelings.
Making soone willing to give isn’t hard, what’s hard is getting them to give when they have nothing left.
Giving when you have nothing left isn’t hard, what’s harder is giving everything once you’ve gained everything, returning to having nothing...
In that mont, it seed as though sothing was cracking open the ice in her heart.
Lin Haitang felt an impulse as if she wanted to throw herself into the man’s arms unconditionally and accept him wholeheartedly!
But she opened her mouth, and the words that ca out were...
"The money... I will pay you back slowly!"
ng Lang wasn’t surprised at Lin Haitang’s response, he casually waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, take your ti to repay. Let’s go! Next stop!"
Next stop?
Looking at the household register in his hand, Lin Haitang’s face flushed red, feeling flustered and confused, she blurted out.
"To... today?"
"Of course! There’s no better ti than the present!
By the way, my prospective mother-in-law’s place isn’t far, right?"
Lin Haitang: "..."
ng Lang didn’t care about Lin Haitang’s strange expression; he simply pulled her into a taxi.
With a plan in hand, ng Lang had a clear target.
He had just explained his private savings to Mr. Lin, finally acquiring a key mission item... the household register!
Everything was ready, just waiting for the right mont!
The next step, naturally, was to trigger Lin Haitang’s ultimate affection mission.
Mission trigger keyword... old photos!
Thinking of this, ng Lang couldn’t help but sigh.
After so much painstaking effort, wasting several accounts, he thought it would take all his charms and various trials to finally achieve the perfect outco.
In the end, with a simple "could this be destiny," you surrendered...
If only I’d known you were so "superstitious," I wouldn’t have waited until today to see the shortcut to our relationship story!
Who said you need a hundred lifetis to share a boat and a thousand lifetis to share a bed?
Master Intelligent, it seems even you can sotis miss the mark...
