Chapter Summary
Liu Ning had another idea in mind besides taking Zhao Lele out of the city: to also take Li Tie and the other three out for some training. Although Luo Dong has been out as a patrol member, he has never actually fought against a ferocious beast. The Lord of the Manor also received news that Liu Ning had increased the price several times over when treating Wang Qiang, while he himself had only increased it by 150 billion yuan.
Liu Ning had another idea in mind besides taking Zhao Lele out of the city: to also take Li Tie and the other three out for some training. They had been training for so long, and it was time for them to experience the dangers of the wild.
Especially that guy Luo Dong. Although Luo Dong has been out as a patrol member, he has never actually fought against a ferocious beast. This time, it can be considered to broaden their horizons. The place we are going to next is very dangerous. We need to let them see the outside situation first before we decide on their decision. That guy Sandy has never seen anything either. If we take him to the town rashly, that would be too big a leap.
Before leaving the city, Liu Ning went to Zhu Tianhua's restaurant and hypnotized everyone who needed to be hypnotized. After lunch, they left the city around 2 p.m. Zhao Lele had someone from her family report to the city gate. Anyway, that's all the power Zhu Tianhua has. She didn't need to go herself; just having someone go and say something was enough.
Just as Liu Ning was about to leave, Zhu Tianhua arrived with his housekeeper. Liu Ning knew that the housekeeper was there to watch the real negotiations, which were to be conducted by Zhu Tianhua. Since Zhu Tianhua was already on Liu Ning's side, what was there to negotiate? It was just a show for the higher-ups.
"You don't look too good. Did something happen? If so, we can postpone it. I'm not in a hurry to make money off your family."
Because the city lord's confidants were here, Liu Ning had to be careful with his words.
"Something did happen. This morning I was no longer the hotel manager. Someone else took over. From now on, I'm unemployed."
This was a counterattack from his elder brother. His elder brother was much stronger than him, having developed his career more than 10 years earlier. So it would be very easy for him to remove him from his position. Moreover, everyone in the garrison respected the eldest son and thought that he, the second young master, was not very useful.
"However, I also benefited from this misfortune. Although I am no longer in charge of that hotel, I have started working in the Western District Administrative Department. Although I am just a small secretary, it is the beginning of my political career."
The tone suddenly shifted; it turned out that the guy's bad expression earlier was all an act. He had actually been given an opportunity to enter politics.
Even if he managed that hotel very well, it wouldn't have any future for him. But things are different now. The Lord of the Manor has seen his eldest son's incompetence, so he has to give his younger son a chance. Besides, the Lord of the Manor also realized that he had been too biased in the past.
At this moment, Liu Ning truly admired the Lord of the Prefecture's methods. This way, the two sons could be kept in check. If the second son couldn't keep up, it would mean he wasn't capable enough. If he could keep up, he could later say that this was an opportunity given to him by the Lord.
The rise of these young masters is so simple. It often comes down to a single word from their fathers. Others would have to spend a huge amount of money and time to secure a secretary position in the Western District Command, but these young men can take office at any time. Their starting point is the end point for others. How can ordinary people compete with them?
"Let's talk about yesterday first, shall we? My husband is a little overwhelmed."
In the past, Zhu Tianhua would have definitely made the steward sit down. Although this guy was just a steward, he was also his father's absolute confidant. However, he had already sided with his elder brother. But today, Zhu Tianhua wanted to embarrass this steward, make him stand here obediently, and make him understand that he was just a servant.
The butler stood by with a smile on his face, happily keeping him company. What he was really thinking, we don't know. Anyway, now that the second young master has risen to prominence, he can't be treated the same way as before.
Liu Ning and Zhu Tianhua went to the inner room, which Liu Ning had also arranged without prior notice. Zhu Tianhua and Liu Ning were too lazy to play along with this guy, so they simply went to another room.
"Second Young Master, please wait. If this old servant may speak frankly, don't be afraid to spend money on this matter. You must invite Mr. Liu over. Our master is at his breaking point..."
As Zhu Tianhua stood up, the old man whispered something to him, worried that Zhu Tianhua wouldn't know how to negotiate. Zhu Tianhua was secretly delighted, thinking, "You've all been kept in the dark."
Zhu Tianhua nodded and followed Liu Ning inside. The old steward was a little anxious at the door. This matter should have been handled by us. The second young master is so young. If this negotiation fails, it may shake the foundation of the entire mansion.
If the Iron Triangle were to lose one member, it would be a major event for the entire naval base.
A loud bang came from inside, the sound of a teacup shattering.
At the same time, the old butler's heart was also broken. It seems that they did not reach an agreement. Why didn't he give the young master proper instructions earlier?
The old steward was deeply worried. These two young masters had been pampered since childhood and never showed any respect to others. What would happen to the capital if the negotiations really broke down?
The old butler craned his neck to listen, and sure enough, Liu Ning inside was unwilling. He insisted that the young master kowtow and apologize, otherwise he would never go over. Zhu Tianhua pleaded desperately beside him.
The price has also been negotiated straightforwardly, from 300 billion yuan to 450 billion yuan.
In the past, the old butler would definitely have thought the price was too high. Even if he didn't care about the money, he couldn't have raised the price to this level. But now, the old butler had heard the situation. If he didn't give more money, was he supposed to make the young master come over and kneel down to apologize? That would probably be even more terrifying than giving money.
The old steward was giving the Lord of the Manor a real-time update, and the Lord of the Manor was on tenterhooks. Anyone would feel uncomfortable about what happened yesterday, so it was normal for him to ask for a high price.
The Lord of the Manor also received news that Liu Ning had increased the price several times over when treating Wang Qiang, while he himself had only increased it by 150 billion yuan. In the end, he still benefited from the deal. When he heard that the 450 billion yuan deal had been reached, the Lord of the Manor and the old steward breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this sum of money has been a significant blow to the Lord of the Garrison, it was well worth the expense compared to the foundation of the entire Garrison.
