Chapter 172: General Manager Lin, Let Me Tell You the Truth About This World

Meng Ruolan hurried a few steps, arrived before Lin Dazhi, and made a gesture as if to kneel.

Of course, she was merely putting on an act. With her status as the dignified Beauty Queen of Nan Province, and also as the granddaughter of Old Master Wang, possessing a net worth of billions, what kind of noble status was that? How could she possibly kneel to a man like Lin Dazhi?

She was simply angry that Lin Dazhi and Zhang Xiaoli had joined forces to disgust her just now, and she was deliberately using this method to mock Lin Dazhi.

Sure enough, just as she was about to kneel, Lin Dazhi hurriedly stood up, gave her a feigned support, and said, "Hey, no, no, no, absolutely not! With a status as noble as Meng's, how could you kneel to someone like me, a person from the bottom, a stinking loser? This isn't appropriate, this really isn't appropriate."

When Lin Dazhi said these words, his face was full of sincerity.

Looking at that face of Lin Dazhi's, Meng Ruolan couldn't help it and burst into laughter with a "puchi."

"General Manager Lin, are you done acting?" After laughing, Meng Ruolan immediately said in a mocking tone.

"Done acting, done acting. So, General Manager Meng, shall we talk about the cooperation instead? And Xiaoli, don't just sit there. Go out and tell the kitchen to get some fruit and desserts or something to entertain General Manager Meng," Lin Dazhi instructed.

"Very well, General Manager Lin." Hearing Lin Dazhi's words, Zhang Xiaoli said obediently, then stood up and walked outside.

Watching Zhang Xiaoli leave the room, leaving only herself and Lin Dazhi, Meng Ruolan crossed her arms and said with a calm face, "General Manager Lin, speaking of cooperation, I still hold to the same condition as before: I put up two billion, and I take sixty percent. What do you think?"

Hearing Meng Ruolan's words, Lin Dazhi was caught between laughter and tears. He spread his hands and said, "General Manager Meng, does this mean all the effort I spent just now analyzing those figures for you was all for nothing? My product is unique in the world, a market of tens of billions of US dollars! And just now—I just signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Academician Li; the market development scale in the medical field for the next step will be even higher than this! You only put up two billion and want sixty percent. General Manager Meng, are you robbing me?"

Meng Ruolan looked at Lin Dazhi's somewhat exasperated expression, her arms crossed, her face full of self-satisfaction.

This was right; this was the expression she wanted to see.

In front of her, Meng Ruolan, even a remarkable man like Lin Dazhi had to beg with soft words and bow his head in submission!

"That's right, Lin Dazhi, I am robbing you, and it's an open robbery. What, do you have an objection? Hmm?"

Meng Ruolan crossed her arms, leaned down, and used those beautiful phoenix eyes to playfully look down at the man beneath her.

"I do have an objection! General Manager Meng, this world should be about fairness and the law. Honestly speaking, no one would accept conditions like yours! The Time Reversal Instrument is my life's work. I welcome cooperation, but the premise is that you must offer a price that satisfies me. Your price is too low, so I..."

"Hahahaha, General Manager Lin, Lin Dazhi! You're talking to me about fairness? Do you know who I am?" Watching Lin Dazhi patiently explaining and pleading with her there, the more Meng Ruolan watched, the happier she became. After hearing half of it, she couldn't help but laugh wantonly.

"I don't care who you are. I only know that doing business requires mutual consent. If the price you offer is appropriate, we cooperate; if it's not, then forget it. General Manager Meng, everything must be based on fairness and the law." Lin Dazhi kept repeating "fairness" and "law," as if using this method to find some confidence for himself.

"Fairness? Law? General Manager Lin, the way you say these things makes me feel like you're a three-year-old child."

Meng Ruolan giggled, continuing to lean down, looking down at this man from a high position.

"General Manager Lin, let me tell you: in this world, it has always been that strength is respected, and power and money are supreme. Fairness, morality, law, and systems—those are just means to fool you lower-class people. Do you really take these seriously? And you even talk about them? Oh, you're killing me, I can't, my stomach hurts..."

As Meng Ruolan spoke, she clutched her stomach and laughed until she was swaying back and forth. As she laughed, tears even streamed down her face.

"Does General Manager Meng mean that you are unwilling to talk to me about fairness and the law, and only willing to talk about strength, money, and power? Because your strength is great and your power is vast, I must listen to you and agree to your unfair conditions—is that what you mean?" Lin Dazhi asked with some unwillingness.

"That's right! General Manager Lin, that is exactly what I mean!"

As Meng Ruolan spoke, she took out her phone, swiped the screen, and displayed a photo in front of him.

"What is this?" Lin Dazhi looked at Meng Ruolan's phone screen. The image displayed seemed to be a school playground, with many students and teachers gathered around looking at something, and there were also the figures of an ambulance and doctors.

"Half an hour ago, a female student at Jiangzhou No. 7 Middle School fell to her death from a building. Her parents ran to the Education Bureau to cause a scene and also posted videos online, causing an extremely negative impact. The Jiangzhou Education Bureau has already issued a document: Sun Xiaomei, as the Vice Principal in charge of moral education and safety, bears inescapable leadership responsibility and has been dismissed on the spot. Further legal responsibility will be pursued depending on the situation," Meng Ruolan said.

"Did you do this?" Looking at that photo, Lin Dazhi's expression turned gloomy.

"Of course~~~~ not." Meng Ruolan deliberately drew out her voice. Watching Lin Dazhi's face, which was as dark as water, the expression on her face became even more joyful.

"General Manager Lin, with my status, how could I possibly do such a thing?" Meng Ruolan said with a giggle.

The next moment, she said leisurely: "However, I do have some connections in Jiangzhou. If you want to protect your little lover, why don't you beg me?"

Having said that, Meng Ruolan laughed wantonly again.

Lin Dazhi remained calm and just watched Meng Ruolan laugh.

"General Manager Lin, take a look at this too."

Seeing Lin Dazhi not speaking, Meng Ruolan decided to give him another "surprise."

"What is this again?" Lin Dazhi glanced at the phone screen, his expression calm, showing neither joy nor anger.

"Jiangzhou Bank Shangcheng District Branch has just officially initiated procedures to prepare to recall the two-billion loan given to New World Company. General Manager Lin, you need to repay this loan within half a month, otherwise, it will be very troublesome. Oh, right, General Manager Lin pays Zhang Xiaoli a salary of one hundred million every month; surely that isn't being paid with the loan, is it?" Meng Ruolan asked with some "concern."

"Is there anything else?" Lin Dazhi asked indifferently.

"Oh, right, Bai Weiwei is also your little lover, isn't she? Although she resigned from the bank, I heard that the bank believes the two-billion loan she approved for you involved irregular operations and they are preparing to pursue her legal responsibility. Your little lover is likely going to have trouble."
