Book 2 Chapter 14.1 – Gunman Organization
The cute Mister Dennis immediately turned stupid. He looked at Li Yang who just appeared and stared blankly for a long time before saying, “You, you…” He just couldn’t get the words out. This Taibai Restaurant was about to become a cash cow. If they had gathered together several merchants, it would roughly reach at least four million dollars. Ge Pu opening it up for the rock bottom price of three million was basically because they had no choice. Seeing that this Restaurant was about to be under his possession, he took out this underhanded method. Yet, what made them the most depressed was that this Li Yang took out ten million dollars; it made them completely speechless.
Li Yang turned around and gave Dennis a glance, and contrary to expectation, he smiled and said, “Mister Dennis, you wanted to buy this Taibai Restaurant for two million, you really do have the brains to do business. Haha, I am confused, Mister Dennis, why aren’t you leaving right now? Could it be that you want to put out ten million on this Taibai Restaurant?”
Dennis hatefully looked at Li Yang. He did not say anything, and left just like that with his bodyguards. Someone who could casually take out ten million was not someone who Dennis could casually offend.
“Brother Mu Yi, this…” Ge Pu really didn’t know what to do after seeing the credit card in front of him.
Li Yang turned his head and looked at Ge Pu, saying in anger, “Brother Ge, although we brothers haven’t known each other for that long, but for better or for worse, we are still brothers. I live right around here, yet you didn’t tell me after something happened to your daughter. This is a bit too too humiliating. Take this money from me, you must accept it. This is the money I’m giving you for your daughter’s medical expenses!”
Ge Pu’s eyes immediately reddened. He was an extremely old-fashioned person, almost like someone from the ancient times.
Riches and honor cannot lead to obscene and excessive behavior. The powerful cannot wrong the weak. One should not sigh while eating and drinking.
Even though his daughter was diagnosed with the ‘RML749’ disease, he still thought of selling his restaurant first for her treatment. Li Yang had money, this was something that Ge Pu obviously knew. Being able to own a villa within Manhattan, he was definitely rich and powerful. However, even though things were like this, he still chose to sell the restaurant. He did not want to accept other people’s money for no cause and no reason, forget about an amount as large as ten million. (‘RML749’ disease was just discovered in 2011, and was one of the excessive cases of cancer. However, by using the ‘M-Ray Therapy’ that recently came out of research, it could still be cured. However, the cost to use this ‘M-Ray Therapy’ was extremely high. Even Ge Pu who could be considered relatively well off had to sell his restaurant to pay for it.
“Brother Mu Yi, you understand how this big bro is. Big bro is extremely happy that you have these intentions, however, I definitely cannot accept this money. It’s not that big bro doesn’t have money, as he’ll have money as long as he sells this restaurant. Brother Mu Yi, it’s still best if you take it back!” Ge Pu firmly refused Li Yang’s money.
Li Yang immediately felt his head throbbing. After his interaction with Ge Pu thus far, he already knew that Ge Pu was this kind of person. Even his attire was like that of an old-fashioned person, and definitely followed the moral standard of those officials and sages absolutely.
Li Yang suddenly stood up and spoke out of anger. “Brother Ge Pu, what are you trying to do by saying this? Huh?! To have principles? But your principles is founded on the life of your daughter Xinxin! Sell the restaurant? Heng, even if the surgery is a success, with Xinxin being so frail after the surgery, do you guys still have the money to take care of her? This is not having principles, this was being old-fashioned, being inflexible!”
When Ge Pu heard this, his heart trembled. His face immediately became deathly white. “My principles are established on the life of my daughter!” This began to sway Ge Pu’s principles.
When Li Yang saw Ge Pu like this, his heart also felt rather troubled. He suddenly thought of an idea, and Li Yang immediately became excited and continued. “Today, even if you don’t want to accept this money, you still have to! This is because I am not giving you this money, but rather giving it to your daughter! You are only accepting it on her behalf. You don’t have the power to refuse it, so even if it’s refused, it will have to be your daughter that refuses it. If Xinxin refuses to accept it, I will take the money and leave. Otherwise, you must accept it on Xinxin’s behalf!” Li Yang spoke these words like a scoundrel.
Xinxin refuse? Ge Pu’s daughter was currently still unconscious, so how could she refuse! As a result, he absolutely had to accept this money.
When Ge Pu thought of his own daughter, he immediate clenched his teeth. He lifted his head and looked at Li Yang. “Brother Mu Yi, I will accept this money. However, I will give you this restaurant. I, Ge Pu also understand that this restaurant is only worth four million dollars, and exchanging it for your ten million is already making brother suffer losses. However, you still need to accept it, to at least make my heart a bit more at ease. If you don’t accept the restaurant, then as the big brother, I truly don’t have the face to accept this money!”
Li Yang became foolish. How did he end up obtaining this restaurant?
Lao San also said from the side, “Brother Mu Yi, just accept it. Our family’s Old Ge is this type of person. If you don’t accept it, then it would be impossible for him to accept this money, and I, Lan Sao also would not be able to accept it. This ten million is not a small number!”
When Li Yang saw the couple like this, he couldn’t help but feel rather gloomy. Currently, this ten million to him really wasn’t that much. He was about to carry out an A rank mission soon, and after succeeding, he would have another ten million dollars.
“Alright, alright. However, I don’t have time to take care of this restaurant. Brother Ge and Lan Sao, how about you two help me manage it? Li Yang laughed while speaking, laughing deviously.
Ge Pu and Lan Sao immediately accepted on the spot. They still had quite some feelings towards this restaurant, and were not willing to leave it themselves!
“En, now that I am the boss, I ‘ll announce a decision. For the Restaurant’s share, I will announce that 25 percent is for Lan Sao, and 25 percent is for brother Ge. This will be my salary towards the two managers. From today forth, you guys will not have no salary. Right, I still have fifty percent, so I should still be considered the boss, right?!” Li Yang faced the foolish Ge Pu and his wife, and smiled slightly. Following that, before the two had the chance to react, Li Yang took advantage that fact to say, “Ah, I still have an extremely important thing to take care of, so I will leave first!”
After saying those things, Li Yang walked out of the restaurant at an astonishing speed.
Li Yang originally wanted to return the restaurant to Ge Pu and his wife. However, since he knew Ge Pu’s nature, and knew that as long as he gave the restaurant back, Ge Pu would definitely refuse the ten million. That’s why he made a compromise, giving the two of them a total of 50 percent of the stock share.
Even if he gave them this share of the company, Li Yang was still worried that Ge Pu would not accept it due to his nature. That’s why he said that the share was their ‘salary,’ and that the two of them would no longer have a salary in the future. As for these words, in actuality, fifty percent of every month’s shares in profits far surpa.s.sed any salary.
When Ge Pu and his wife looked at Li Yang’s disappearing figure, their eyes began to redden.
“I, Ge Pu, in this life made quite a few friends. However, the only one who is willing to save me from such a crisis for fire and water without a single bit of return would be this brother Mu Yi.” When Lan Sao thought back to when the two of them were on the phone previously to ask friends to borrow money, she also began to lower her head in shame.
“A’Lan, we really owe him a lot this time!” Ge Pu hugged his wife as he sighed.
