Chapter 1233 - 1308: Two Billion to Buy You Off
Even Yang Guo was amazing with his severed arm, the guy in front with one more character in his name than Yang Guo was obviously formidable too.Being able to handle a third of the business for a super family in the northern region definitely made him a senior member of the Yang family.
No wonder he exuded absolute confidence.
"Hello, hello." Lin Hai smilingly extended his hand.
The other party smiled indifferently, "I'm not in the habit of shaking hands, sorry."
A very tactful refusal, but a refusal all the same.
The arrogant Wu Ji, with a schadenfreude gleam in his eyes, smiled and offered his hand to Lin Hai, "Hello, I'm Yang Qingqing's fiancé."
After saying this, he eagerly awaited a look of shock from Lin Hai.
However, he was quickly disappointed.
Lin Hai didn't react at all, as if the words "fiancé" couldn't touch his heart at all.
Wu Ji decided to make the other party feel ashamed by using his best strategy.
"I'm not sure what line of work Mr. Lin is in?"
"Security guard," Lin Hai answered with a smile.
Mrs. Yang's face turned even more unpleasant as she glared angrily at Yang Qingqing.
"Oh, security guard!" Wu Ji deliberately dragged out his words.
"Like the lower-level security guards at my family's companies?" he smugly asked.
Yang Qingqing frowned, "Wu Ji, what's that supposed to mean?"
"I didn't mean anything, Qingqing. I'm just curious why you would date a small-time security guard? What's wrong with me?" Wu Ji made no attempt to hide his disdain.
"Because, besides money, you have nothing else!" Yang Qingqing retorted furiously.
"Qingqing, watch your language," Mrs. Yang frowned.
Though she knew Wu Ji was somewhat of a playboy, at least he didn't flaunt his wealth to mess around with other women, not to mention his massive wealth and handsome appearance. Mrs. Yang really couldn't find a more suitable son-in-law candidate.
In contrast, Lin Hai's job and appearance made Mrs. Yang innately repulsed.
After all, she had once passionately married Father Yang, then spent her younger years struggling for a living, suffering for half her life, and now her youth was long gone, leaving a deep-seated knot in her heart. She dreamed that her daughter wouldn't suffer the same fate.
All in all, her intentions were good, but her approach was flawed.
"What do you mean? I don't like Wu Ji." Yang Qingqing decided to be upfront, especially since Lin Hai was present, and with his connections, she wasn't afraid to offend Yang Buguo.
"Hehe, Qingqing, maybe we don't know each other well yet, but I'm really curious about what's so great about this guy Lin compared to me?" Wu Ji sneered at Lin Hai, full of contempt.
Could a mere security guard compare with a second richest young heir like himself? Laughable.
"In every way, he's better than you. Besides being born with a silver spoon, what else are you capable of?" Yang Qingqing spoke her honest thoughts. She didn't mind if a man had no money, but she feared men without ambition and ability.
"Hehe, I've got money at least. Can he beat me on that? In this world, only money can buy everything. So many socialites in Yanjing want to be my wife. I can buy whatever I want whenever I want. If I want to do something, I can just hire people with money. Numerous highly intelligent people serve me just because I've got money. With money, I can have everything. What has a security guard got?"
Wu Ji said proudly.
After speaking, he provocatively glared at Lin Hai.
Lin Hai pouted. If he really didn't hold back and revealed all his assets, although he might not be able to surpass Yanjing's second richest heir, at least he could make it into the ranks of super-rich heirs, and at worst, rank fifth.
Bear in mind, the bonus for King Yan killing someone back then was as high as several billion, in US Dollars.
And how many people exactly did King Yan kill? That's still a mystery, but the only thing that can be added is that it was many, many, very many!
Plus, with Judge's overseas security company, the Blood-Colored Reincarnation organization, supplying weapons and mercenaries to small countries and war zones, and all sorts of high-tech products created by the security company's research institutes, these all constitute a huge income, enough to bring Lin Hai countless wealth every year that even he might not be clear on the specifics.
"Lin Hai's money may not be as much as yours, but in other ways, you definitely can't match him," Yang Qingqing defended Lin Hai again.
At the same time, she was anxious inside. Lin Hai, when are you going to unleash your bragging skills? If you keep being passive like this, you're bound to lose sooner or later.
Mrs. Yang snorted coldly, "Alright, Qingqing, you're still young, what do you know?"
"Mom..."
"That's enough, let's stop here with this matter for now. We won't discuss anything else today, let's eat first." Mrs. Yang was afraid of angering the future son-in-law and Mr. Yang Buguo, so she immediately changed the subject.
However, Father Yang sat silently, clearly being a "henpecked husband," yet he gave Yang Qingqing an encouraging look.
"Hey Lin, name your price. Qingqing is destined to be my wife. How much do you want to let her go?" Wu Ji directly asked.
Wealthy people's egos often swell, especially for second-generation rich kids who haven't experienced turmoil.
"Ten million, how about it?"
Lin Hai shook his head.
"Twenty million? No, how about a hundred million?" Wu Ji directly raised the offer tenfold.
Even Yang Buguo was moved.
Mrs. Yang opened her mouth in disbelief.
Only Yang Qingqing looked disgusted. She was a person, not an object, certainly not something that could be measured in money.
Lin Hai shook his head again.
Wu Ji showed a hint of anger, unable to believe that a small security guard wasn't tempted by even a hundred million, damn it.
"A billion!"
Wu Ji gritted his teeth as he uttered it.
Of course, he had the resources. Worst case, he'd save on pocket money for a few years and sell the three private jets he bought last year.
At this point, the whole family was completely moved.
Even Yang Qingqing was a little shocked.
She owned a small company and had a few million in assets.
But she still found it hard to believe a sum as large as a billion.
Yang Buguo twitched a few times at his features, thinking that if his son were as reckless, he would be beaten to death in no time.
A billion, indeed, even the Yanjing Yang family's nationwide business barely reached that amount in a year, and that's revenue, not net profit. It's common knowledge that superfamilies rely on power and background; money is secondary, mainly serving to maintain family expenses.
Was it worth using an income equivalent to a superfamily's annual revenue to get a woman?
Yang Buguo didn't think so.
At this moment, all eyes in the family were on Lin Hai.
A billion! Enough to transform a little security guard of humble origins into a landlord and ascend to the pinnacle of life.
"I'm sorry, Qingqing is priceless, and just a billion? I'll give you two billion; how about you scram right away?"
Lin Hai coolly spoke.
Once again, the entire family was shocked!
He actually refused!
Not tempted by a billion!
Wu Ji was stunned momentarily. Though he somewhat regretted mentioning a billion just before, once spoken, it was like spilled water; he could only tough it out.
But who would have thought that a security guard could outright refuse a billion so decisively!
