45 You Don’t Have a Choice
Li Tianlan was beaming at An Ning Construction Supplies Company. He had already received Chen Li’s call and seen the screenshot of the results that Chen Li had specially sent him. He had also seen the ranking that the teacher had displayed on the big screen.
He looked at the photo again and again, tirelessly. His face under the hard hat was grinning widely.
“Li Tianlan, President Liang is looking for you. He wants you to stop what you’re doing and go to his office.” An office lady found Li Tianlan and imdiately urged him to do so.
“Xiaoyu, why is President Liang looking for ?” Li Tianlan’s heart skipped a beat. He was wary. “Could it be that President Liang saw skiving and playing with my phone?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, it’s quite urgent. You’ll know when you get there.” Xiaoyu’s face was expressionless, but her eyes were filled with disgust for Li Tianlan. She was unwilling to converse with Li Tianlan as he was all dirty and grimy after moving cent for a while.
She was worried that if she got too close to Li Tianlan, her brand new white skirt would be soiled.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at an opulent office. President Liang was a skinny middle-aged man. He had high cheekbones, sunken cheeks and deep eye sockets. He wore a dark blue shirt and his hair was ticulously styled.
Just by looking at his appearance, he seed a particularly fierce and ruthless person.
In fact, his personality was really as such.
He was domineering, arrogant, harsh to his subordinates, and loved to nitpick.
“President Liang, Li Tianlan is here.” Xiaoyu’s voice instantly beca sweet and her body language alluring.
It was a 180 degree change from the frosty treatnt she gave to Li Tianlan.
“Xiaoyu, you may leave now, close the door behind you,” President Liang instructed. After Xiaoyu left the office, he addressed Li Tianlan, who had been standing on the side.
“Li Tianlan, co take a seat, let’s chat!”
Li Tianlan was a little nervous. Although he had been at An Ning Construction Supplies Company for three years, he had only t President Liang less than five tis.
However, the entire company knew that President Liang was extrely strict. He frequently scread at his subordinates.
“President Liang, why did you call over?” Li Tianlan was a little nervous as he asked ekly.
President Liang glanced at Li Tianlan with a stony face. “Li Tianlan, you’ve been at An’ning Construction Supplies Company for three years, right?”
Seeing Li Tianlan nod, President Liang cut to the chase, “Now, there’s sothing I need your help with.”
“Boss, tell .” Li Tianlan was first flattered, then he beca doubtful. He was just an ordinary person. How could he help President Liang?
“Liu Wendao, you know him, you know that his son and your son had a conflict in school today.”
“After your son called the police, his son was taken away. He’s likely to be convicted and sentenced.”
“Now, the only way to save his son is for your son to sign a letter of understanding.”
“Now, he called and asked to plead with you so that your son can sign a letter of understanding.” President Liang told him everything he knew upfront.
Liu Wendao had already promised him that as long as he could get Li Chengqian to sign a letter of understanding, he would be willing to sign a procurent contract with An Ning Construction Supplies Company,and it would be worth 30 million yuan.
Moreover, Liu Wendao said that there was also a possibility of collaboration on a larger project.
Li Tianlan was a little stunned as he had no idea that there was a conflict between Li Chengqian and Liu Daqiang. Chen Li had never ntioned it to him. “President Liang, please wait a mont. I’ll call ho and ask what’s going on. What do you think?”
“Don’t bother to call!” President Liang said in a domineering voice. He flatly rejected Li Tianlan’s suggestion to call.
This was because he felt that there was no need. Li Tianlan was an employee of his company, so he had to listen to him, the boss.
After all, Li Tianlan had already been on his payroll for three years. If Li Tianlan didn’t listen to him, there was no need for him to continue working here.
“Li Tianlan, I’ll be honest with you. Liu Wendao is determined to get the letter of understanding. You have been in this industry, you must have heard of his reputation.”
“If you offend him, you won’t have an easy ti!”
“After signing the letter of understanding, Liu Wendao is willing to pay 100,000 yuan.” As President Liang spoke, he took out ten bundles of bright red 100-yuan bills and placed them on the table.
Then, he took out a printout and handed it to Li Tianlan.
“This is a letter of understanding that I’ve already printed. Take it back and get your son to sign it.”
“When you hand this letter of understanding, this money will be all yours.” There was no doubt in President Liang’s voice. What he said was like an order. He didn’t care if Li Tianlan would agree.
As far as he was concerned, Li Tianlan had to agree to what he said. He had no choice.
Li Tianlan frowned slightly and said helplessly, “President Liang, can you let understand the situation first?”
He didn’t know what was going on at all. How could he simply agree? What if the letter of understanding was disadvantageous to Li Chengqian!
Therefore, he did not want to simply agree.
President Liang’s face instantly fell. He looked at Li Tianlan with anger.
He had already made it very clear, but Li Tianlan still dared to talk back to him.
“Li Tianlan, your son must sign this letter of understanding. There’s no room for negotiation.”
“After you get it signed, this 100,000 yuan is yours.”
“You and your wife can continue working in my company.”
Thereafter, President Liang’s voice turned cold. “If you can’t get this done…”
“You and your wife can get lost from my company! This is my company. I am free to fire you!”
“Liu Wendao will also find soone to take revenge on your entire family and destroy your family. Liu Wendao has plenty of money. There are many people who are willing to do dirty things for him. If he really takes revenge, will your family be able to take the consequences?”
“Li Tianlan, do you understand? You don’t have a choice at all!” President Liang was being upfront. His voice was icy cold as he issued the threat.
Li Tianlan felt extrely aggrieved and clenched his fists tightly. He was raging inside.
However, he was just an ordinary person. Even President Liang could make him jobless by firing him, not to ntion Liu Wendao.
Li Chengqian was still studying, so they would need funds for him. Their house was bought with a loan, and he had a mortgage to service.
If he was fired and couldn’t find a new job within a short period of ti, the house they were living in would be repossessed.
He really didn’t dare to take this risk.
...
Li Tianlan felt bitter in his heart and reached out to take the letter of understanding from President Liang.
President Liang smiled smugly and handed the letter of understanding to Li Tianlan. His tone was still haughty. “Li Tianlan, that’s the way.”
“Get it signed. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
“Your family can’t afford the price of not signing.”
“Li Tianlan, although I’m forcing you, this is only for your own good!”
President Liang’s attitude was very obvious. I’m forcing you, so you have to listen to . If you don’t listen to , I’ll fire you.
“President Liang, I’ll go ho first.” Li Tianlan’s voice was hoarse and he was furious. However, he could only accept reality, suppress his anger and grievance and do as President Liang asked.
“Alright, go back first. Call when you’ve got it signed.”
President Liang naturally had to go with him for such an important matter, however he didn’t want Li Tianlan to dirty his car. Moreover, it would be beneath him to be seen with Li Tianlan.
