Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu's words were truly malicious. Everyone knows that the loss of twelve million was caused by you, yet you still have the nerve to say it!
"A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. This little bit of money is just pocket change for me. You've never seen the world before!"

"Sigh... You dog, I can't be bothered with you. Manager Li, the office building and parking lot are 600,000, right? I'll take it!"

He Yuzhu felt that arguing with such people was a waste of time and lowered his own standards!
"Yes, Mr. He, 600,000 for the full amount, that's already the biggest discount!"

Regardless of any grudges between He Yuzhu and Wu Jing, Manager Li was only concerned with whether the office building could be sold and he could successfully earn his commission!

"You're haggling over 600,000? Manager Li, this country bumpkin can't afford that. Here's what I'll offer: 650,000. Let's get the paperwork done!"

Wu Jing's arrogant demeanor makes him look like the young master of one of the four great families!

"Young Master Wu, this is Huo family property, it's not something to joke about. Are you sure it's 650,000?"

Manager Li was stunned. Six hundred and fifty thousand? Didn't that mean he could get more commission?

“That’s right, 650,000. He Yuzhu, listen to me carefully. In Hong Kong, no one dares to offend the Wu family easily!”

Wu Jing has the right to be arrogant. Li Shao said that the Li family can reimburse the funds used. Dong Yong didn't even know this!

The Li family is one of the four great families, and their wealth is comparable to that of a country. With the Li family backing us up, what's there to be afraid of?
"Seven hundred thousand!"

He Yuzhu's face darkened. He patted the uneasy Lou Xiao'e and looked at Wu Jing meaningfully. What's wrong with this kid? Is he trying to ambush me?

"Eight hundred thousand? Let me tell you, you think you can compete with me in terms of wealth? You think you're some young master from one of the four great families? You country bumpkin!"

"Nine hundred thousand!"

Manager Li laughed. Could it be that the God of Wealth has descended upon us today? A 600,000 yuan office building was bid up to 900,000 yuan by two silly guys. This is a huge achievement!

"One million? Keep going if you dare. Today, I'm going to take you on!"

Wu Jing only prepared one million. If the bid continued, he would have to give up. However, if He Yuzhu offered an extra four hundred thousand, he should be able to report back.

"Clap clap clap, as expected of a spendthrift! You insist on spending a million on something worth six hundred thousand. Since you're so determined, I'll give it to you!"

He Yuzhu kept observing the expressions of the two men. In the end, due to Dong Yong's unease and Wu Jing's guilty conscience, they decisively chose to give up.
Actually, when the price was 700,000, He Yuzhu was already prepared to give up. Hong Kong Island is so big, it's impossible that there's only one office building. There's no need to waste so much money!
"Giving up already? Sure enough, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. He comes out to show off even though he doesn't have many pockets. He's a penniless wretch!"

Wu Jing didn't expect this guy to give up. If you calculate it this way, he lost 400,000 yuan in a short period of time. That's 400,000 yuan.
If it were the Wu family of the past, they would not have cared about this amount of money, but the Wu family of today is no longer comparable to what it used to be.

"I'm not a sucker. I could have gotten it for 600,000 or even less, but I paid 1 million. Do you really think my money is worthless?"

He Yuzhu sneered, not in a hurry to leave, but watching Wu Jing and Dong Yong with great interest, wanting to see if the two would pay up.

To be honest, I feel that Dong Yong has changed a lot. Perhaps it's due to family changes or the environment in Hong Kong. When we met again, Dong Yong seemed much more reserved and not as arrogant as before!

"Fine, you're very good!" Wu Jing knew perfectly well that he had been tricked. But he had participated in the bidding himself, and looking at He Yuzhu, who remained as steady as a mountain, Wu Jing felt a deep sense of powerlessness!
He had encountered formidable opponents before, including his own dead brother, and he had always been able to come up with countermeasures and eventually succeeded. However, he could never grasp He Yuzhu and kept failing. This intense sense of defeat made his face contort in a grimace.

He couldn't even last a single round with a country bumpkin from the north who he had always looked down on, and a piece of trash who was exchanging flirtatious glances with the woman he almost became to clean up after.

"Manager Li, stop standing there! You've been with the Huo family for so many years, and this kind of business is rare, isn't it? Hurry up and process the paperwork for our Young Master Wu!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly at Manager Li. Wu Jing wanted to be the sucker, and his expression when he swiped the card must have been quite a sight!

"Young Master Wu, shall we proceed with the formalities now?"

Actually, Manager Li wasn't in a hurry. No one dared to breach the contract with the Huo family's businesses!

"Dong Yong, here's the check!"

Wu Jing felt like he had eaten shit. One million yuan, and he felt like he was born to be a sucker. He felt very uncomfortable with this feeling!
"Manager Li, here's a check for 500,000!"

Dong Yong wasn't stupid. Wu Jing might not dare to offend the Huo family, but he might not dare to offend him. The agreed-upon amount was 500,000!

"Five hundred thousand? Young Master Wu, you just said one million, this five hundred thousand..."

At this point, Manager Li was still being polite, but his expression was already quite bad; to put it bluntly, he might explode at any moment!
"Here's 500,000. Take it. Wu's legal department will contact you!"

Wu Jing didn't expect Dong Yong to be so disrespectful. Shouldn't he have given all the money in this situation?
They have no sense of propriety at all. No wonder they've been in Hong Kong for so long, bringing with them a huge amount of money, and still acting as my lackey!
"Ahem, Young Master Wu, according to our agreement, this office building is mine. Here is 100,000 yuan to make up the difference in the cost of the office building."

As for the paperwork, let my lawyer handle it himself. The Wu family's legal department is too busy to trouble you!

What Wu Jing didn't realize was that Dong Yong had long lost his former respect; Dong Yong certainly wouldn't have acted this way in the past.

"Dong Yong, don't push your luck. We have an agreement, but do you have to bring it up in public?"

Wu Jing was furious. He had always looked down on He Yuzhu and had suffered a lot of losses from him. He had just spent an extra 400,000 yuan, and now Dong Yong's actions had caused him to lose both face and substance!

"Young Master Wu, if it weren't for the office building, I wouldn't have paid this 500,000. We must keep public and private matters separate and not mix them up!"

Dong Yong sneered. The Wu family's shares have been almost acquired. Only 14% is unknown to who holds them. However, the small amount held by Wu Jing will not affect the overall situation, so there is no need to be polite. After all, everyone comes from a powerful family.
To be honest, if it were the Dong family in the past, they would have been dealing with the four major families, and the so-called Wu family would not have been worth their attention.

"Fine, very well indeed, you northerners are all so petty!"

Wu Jing took the check handed to him by Dong Yong and left in a huff. Dong Yong, you probably didn't know that Li Shao was backing him up this time, did you?
"Ahem, Mr. Wu, please wait a moment. Manager Li, may we proceed with the formalities?"

Dong Yong felt completely refreshed; he had never felt so relaxed in all the time he had been in Hong Kong! (End of Chapter)
