“Xiao Ai…”
Wang Yunmei was still worried about her daughter, but before she could say anything, Jian Ai interrupted her, “Mom, wait for me outside.” The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
Wang Yunmei wanted to say something when she remembered that her daughter had told her to leave this matter to her. She hesitated for a moment before following Jian Yu out of the interrogation room.
After the door closed, only Jian Ai and Li Qiang were left in the room.
“Your name is Jian Ai, right…”
As an adult, Li Qiang was the first to break the silence. However, in a business situation, this was called a preemptive strike. In private, the only thing involved was financial compensation. As it involved money, Li Qiang, as a businessman, instinctively chose to speak first, “No matter what, I still have to thank you. Just now, I also learned from Teacher Li that your family situation doesn’t seem to be very well off. How about this? Uncle will compensate you one hundred thousand yuan. What do you think? This sum of money is enough for you to finish university.”
Li Qiang’s tone was relatively calm. One hundred thousand yuan was indeed an astronomical figure for a family such as Jian Ai’s.
But Jian Ai was different. In her previous life, she was a real estate owner with a net worth of tens of millions yuan. A mere hundred thousand yuan was nothing in her eyes.
“Uncle Li, don’t try to scare me with your business,” Jian Ai spoke.
Hearing this, Li Qiang frowned as if he didn’t understand what Jian Ai meant. Did she not hear what he said clearly?
A hundred thousand yuan was equivalent to two to three years of income for a family like hers. It was not a small sum.
Under Li Qiang’s puzzled gaze, Jian Ai walked to the chair and sat down. Then, she opened her mouth and said, “Your goal is to get rid of money to avoid disaster and to prevent your daughter from getting into trouble. Is a year of teaching in the juvenile detention center worth only one hundred thousand yuan in your eyes?”
“Student Jian, a hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount. As for you…”
Li Qiang immediately opened his mouth to defend himself but was forcibly interrupted by Jian Ai. Jian Ai revealed a cold smile and lightly shook her head. “Uncle Li, you have to be clear that Li Yunmei is your daughter, not mine. So, you shouldn’t always say what this means to me. You have to ask yourself whether this sum of money is for you to get out of trouble or not.”
Li Qiang’s words were stuck in his throat like a fishbone was stuck there. He naturally understood the meaning behind Jian Ai’s words, but he was even more shocked in his heart. He was surprised that a fourteen-year-old girl could have such a wise and farsighted mind. The way she spoke was like a veteran in the business world. With just one sentence, she quickly turned a passive situation into an active one.
His daughter was his, so this compensation was nothing to him.
Although one hundred thousand yuan was not a small amount, to Li Qiang, who had his own company, it was a drop in the ocean.
Li Qiang had no choice with just this sentence but to reevaluate the fourteen-year-old negotiator in front of him.
Li Qiang straightened his expression and went straight to the point. “Since you’re not satisfied, why don’t you name a price?”
Jian Ai smiled faintly when she heard that. “Since Uncle Li asked, I will help you analyze it. Let’s make an analogy. For example, if Li Yunmei stays in the juvenile detention center for one day, Uncle Li can spend ten thousand yuan to save her. Uncle Li must be willing, right? She can be in the center for a year because of this matter, which is three-hundred-and-sixty-five days!”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows and said, “I’ll give Uncle Li a discount and charge you three million yuan.”
