Lin Bai laughed after listening to it.
He said to Ling Xuewei, “If I remember correctly, I should have told you more than once that I’m not short of money. So for this remuneration, I want something else.”
Ling Xuewei immediately became alert, but she did not get the wrong idea and call Lin Bai a hooligan like she did before.
She carefully observed the expression on Lin Bai’s face and asked tentatively, “Then may I ask what exactly you want, Mr. Lin?”
Lin Bai could not be bothered to beat around the bush, so he simply said it.
“I want you to fire your assistant, the one surnamed Wang.”
Ling Xuewei frowned.
“Wang Hao? Did he have any feud with you?”
Lin Bai replied, “Sort of. He almost caused the death of my classmate’s parents.”
Ling Xuewei looked very surprised.
“Are you sure it’s him? Did you mistake him for someone else?”
Lin Bai asked in response, “I saw him with my own eyes. Is there anything wrong with that?”
Ling Xuewei said instead, “That might not be the case. Sometimes, what you say may not necessarily be the truth. Perhaps there might be some misunderstanding.”
Lin Bai did not expect that Ling Xuewei would have such an attitude.
He sulked in displeasure and asked coldly, “So, are you planning to protect him, Miss Ling?”
Initially, Lin Bai had always believed that Ling Xuewei was not the kind of person who did not have a bottom line. There was a high probability that Assistant Wang’s actions were his own.
However, now, Ling Xuewei’s attitude made Lin Bai start to doubt whether his previous thoughts were wrong.
Ling Xuewei said, “I just want a reasonable reason. Wang Hao is my special assistant. His administrative level is not low in the company, and he also holds a large number of shares. Even if I want to chase him away, I have to have a reasonable reason.”
Lin Bai was very surprised.
He did not expect that Wang Hao, a mere assistant, actually had shares of Soaring Phoenix Real Estate.
Moreover, the amount was not small.
This made him doubt whether the relationship between Ling Xuewei and Wang Hao was as simple as a boss-and-subordinate relationship as it seemed on the surface.
Perhaps they had other relationships in private?
Lin Bai had already used the enhanced version of the Divine-Level Human Discernation Technique on Ling Xuewei twice before. It could be said that he knew her life experience like the back of his hand.
However, Wang Hao was not specifically mentioned in those records.
Otherwise, Lin Bai would not have been so certain that Ling Xuewei would agree to his request.
If he had known earlier that their relationship was not simple, Lin Bai might have used another method to teach Wang Hao a lesson.
However, now that he had said it, it was impossible to take it back.
Lin Bai could only brace himself and continue according to the original plan.
He said, “If you want me to provide evidence, it’s a pity that I can’t provide anything. The incident happened too suddenly. There was no recording. Even if my friend could come forward and help testify, I don’t think you would believe it.”
“However, I have to emphasize one thing. What we are talking about now is the payment you have to pay me, not a lawsuit. Evidence is required in court, but it is not necessary for business negotiations. If you want me to come up with a reason, then…”
“As the payment for your mother’s treatment again, as well as the additional conditions for the Yunding Mountain Villa Project cooperation, are these two reasons enough?”
Lin Bai wanted to see how important that bastard surnamed Wang was to Ling Xuewei.
Is he more important than her mother’s health?
Is he more important than the Yunding Villa Project?
When Ling Xuewei heard that Lin Bai had actually brought up the Yunding Villa project, her expression could not help but change slightly.
“Mr. Lin, haven’t we already discussed the details of the Yunding Villa project very clearly just now?”
Lin Bai said, “I forgot to mention the additional conditions just now. I’ll add them now. President Ling, you can reconsider before you officially sign the contract.”
Lin Bai was indirectly reminding Ling Xuewei that although they had reached a consensus just now, they had not signed the formal cooperation agreement yet.
Therefore, he could go back on his words at any time and turn around to find someone else to cooperate with without paying any price.
As long as he didn’t sign the formal contract, it wasn’t considered a breach of contract, and he didn’t need to pay any penalty.
Ling Xuewei had been in the business world for so many years, so she naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Lin Bai’s words.
Her expression became more and more unsightly.
“I really didn’t expect that Mr. Lin and Wang Hao have such a deep grudge.”
Ling Xuewei forced a smile and said.
Lin Bai didn’t say anything and quietly waited for her to continue.
He wanted to see what Ling Xuewei would choose between Yunding Villa and Wang Hao.
Would she give up such a good opportunity for the sake of that bastard.
The air in the office seemed to become stale.
Time passed exceptionally slowly. Every minute and second was incomparably clear in their minds.
As if a century had passed, Ling Xuewei finally made a decision in her heart.
“Mr. Lin’s additional condition…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a loud noise came from outside the door.
It could be vaguely heard that the speaker was an old man, and his voice was very loud.
However, due to the sound insulation effect in the office, the voice had become blurry when it reached the room, and it was hard to hear what he was shouting.
However, Ling Xuewei seemed to recognize that voice, and her face instantly turned extremely ugly.
“Mr. Lin, let’s talk about it another day.”
She said hurriedly.
“I’m really sorry. I might have something urgent that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.”
“Can I give you an answer to the question we discussed just now later?”
Ling Xuewei hurriedly wanted to send him off.
Lin Bai could see that she was indeed very anxious and embarrassed, so he smiled and nodded.
“Okay, let’s talk more when President Ling is free.”
Lin Bai was not in a hurry. In any case, the cooperation agreement had not been signed yet, and the sales rights of Yunding Mountain Villa were still in his hands.
The initiative of this cooperation was also in his hands.
With these in his hands, he had nothing to worry about.
Even if it was the worst-case scenario, Ling Xuewei would rather give up Yunding Villa to protect Wang Hao, so Lin Bai did not care.
At worst, he could just find another way to deal with that grandson. It was just a little troublesome, not impossible.
He had money and connections now. Even the chief of the City Public Security Bureau was on his side. Wouldn’t it be easy for him to deal with someone?
With this thought, Lin Bai became calmer and calmer. He was not in a hurry to get a result at all.
“President Ling, I’ll take my leave first.”
Lin Bai stood up calmly and said goodbye to Ling Xuewei with a smile. Then, he strode towards the door.
Just as he was about to push the door open, the door was suddenly pulled open violently by someone outside.
