Chapter 92: I'm a Fake

Scared?

Of course, I'm scared, but I can't just not come because I'm scared. Jiang Fan didn't rush to speak. Although the current situation was unfavorable for him, it was even more unfavorable for Tu Xiao. If Tu Xiao had no concerns, he wouldn't have delayed signing the contract with Gao Fulv until today. If he said he could borrow money, who would dare to lend to him?

Jiang Fan wasn't in a hurry. Tu Xiao was playing with tea art on his desk, with no intention of inviting Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan wasn't interested in this either. He sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, calm and composed.

After about ten minutes, Guan Dagou's forehead began to sweat. He looked at the two curiously. Could they conduct business without speaking? Just when Guan Dagou was curious, Tu Xiao couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke first.

"Kid, are you here to talk on behalf of Su Qing? Tell me your conditions."

Jiang Fan chuckled.

"It seems that Boss Tu hasn't quite figured out the current situation. First of all, many builders have actively contacted us, Glory, and their prices are much lower than what Vice President Gao discussed with you. The reason we chose Boss Tu is because Boss Tu wants to transform. We're in the same city, and our Su always wanted to help you out. The company will definitely choose the more affordable option first. Even if Vice President Gao agrees with you, it has to go through a high-level meeting to make a decision. Our Su's price is set at eight million, for half a year, plus a Volvo."

"Taking away four million in one breath, your Su really has a lot of courage, or maybe you, kid, aren't afraid of death. You should have seen how many people are outside. Do you think I'll agree to your conditions?"

Tu Xiao's mouth and eyes were all filled with cold laughter and sarcasm. Jiang Fan was not disturbed at all. He crossed his legs and leaned against the sofa, smiling.

"I think Boss Tu will agree, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here comfortably. It's just a word away for you to take action against me. The reason why Boss Tu hasn't rushed to sign the contract with Gao Fulv should be simple. Gao Fulv can't provide you with enough funds to support the foundation. You need to provide the funds yourself. Another reason should be that you don't want to delay too long. Half of the project funds are paid to the workers. The longer it takes, the less you earn. Calculate it, how much labor cost can be saved in half a year compared to two years."

Tu Xiao hesitated. Seeing this, Jiang Fan continued.

"Boss Tu, you need to transform, and quickly. Now you should have already discovered that with the strict crackdown, the entertainment business is getting harder to do. Your business either needs to transform or be sold. The daily losses will become a burden on your business. It's better to give it up completely and transform into real estate."

Tu Xiao still didn't speak, but Jiang Fan had already made the first cut. As long as there was a wound, he wouldn't hesitate to make the second cut.

"Tu Kun is gradually growing up. In the future, you can't let a girl inherit your gloomy business. I think you also know how dangerous and difficult this business is. When Tu Kun grows up, if outsiders call her the daughter of a gangster, it's not something glorious. Moreover, you want to give Tu Kun a better life, but your current business can't continue to support it."

"These words fell into Tu Xiao's ears and were very harsh. He raised his head and glared at this reckless kid. If Li Jinhai hadn't called, he would have dragged him out and punished him already. Jiang Fan ignored Tu Xiao's gaze and continued."

"Su will pay you eight million in advance for your construction. The shorter the time, the more you earn. I think Su has been very sincere."

Tu Xiao laughed, sneering sarcastically.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and run? Or cut corners?"

Jiang Fan shook his head and smiled.

"Taking eight million and running away, if Boss Tu can do that, you wouldn't have today's status in the eighth district. As for cutting corners, I'm not worried at all. What Boss Tu wants to do is transform, not a one-time business. If it's discovered during the first transformation as a builder that there are issues with cutting corners, huh! Eight million is not much for Glory, but the reputation that Boss Tu has maintained for half a lifetime will be destroyed. There's only one opportunity. I think Boss Tu won't easily give up the opportunity to transform."

Tu Xiao stood up, walked to Jiang Fan, rubbed his fists, and snarled,

"Eight million is absolutely impossible. Tell Su Qing it's ten million."

"No, it's only eight million, and I'll take another two hundred thousand from it because I recommended you, Tu, to Mr. Su. So you'll only get seven million eight hundred thousand and a car. You can agree or refuse. Oh! I forgot one thing. Li Jinhai's second son should have exchanged phone numbers with Tu Kun and Li Jiawei."

The last sentence hit Tu Xiao's Achilles' heel. Guan Junbiao had already told Tu Xiao about this. Li Jinhai's second son worshipped Jiang Fan, calling him brother-in-law and might even become friends with the young mistress.

Tu Xiao was momentarily unsure about Jiang Fan's background. The advance payment of eight million was tempting to Tu Xiao. At the same time, what Jiang Fan said was also reasonable. The first transformation was very important. He was currently short of money. If he managed the eight million well, he could easily earn one to two million, solving his urgent needs and successfully transforming while associating with Glory.

"Tu, money gives you backbone. Your involvement in real estate won't affect your status in the eighth district, and the chaos there will have nothing to do with you. To successfully wash away your past, you need to seize the right time, place, and people. I've given you all three. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one."

Tu Xiao was not indecisive. He stepped forward and slapped Jiang Fan on the shoulder, angrily saying,

"You let my daughter call you Uncle, but you don't hesitate to take advantage of your own family. Two hundred thousand is too much. I'll give you one hundred thousand, and the remaining one hundred thousand will be saved for Tu Kun's dowry. Tu Kun's mother left early, so as her uncle, you should compensate her."

Tu Xiao had no reason not to be tempted. Although he lost four million, he gained benefits that couldn't be bought with money. Jiang Fan covered his burning shoulder, turned his head, and exclaimed,

"I'm a fake! Tu Kun isn't my niece. Why should I give her one hundred thousand as dowry? Fifty thousand! I'll leave you fifty thousand, and I'll take one hundred and fifty thousand. You're short of money, but I still owe millions outside."

"Nobody says you're fake, so you're not a fake. It's one hundred and twenty thousand."

"You're a mafia boss. Why are you haggling over thirty or twenty thousand with me? It's one hundred and thirty thousand. If it's less than that, I won't talk to you."

"Bring the contract! Sign it!"

Tu Xiao couldn't have risen to his current position if he was a fool. Gao Lvxing's twelve million was tempting, but the money in his pocket was real. Tu Xiao signed the contract without even looking at it, then nodded at Guan Junbiao. Soon, thirteen stacks of money were brought in and placed before Jiang Fan.

It was packed in a leather case.

Jiang Fan glanced at it, put the contract into the case, and was about to leave. Just as he was preparing to go out, Tu Kun rushed in, followed by Li Jiawei. Li Jiawei seemed to have met Tu Xiao before and greeted him as Uncle Tu.

Tu Kun hugged Jiang Fan's arm and exclaimed joyfully,

"Uncle, did you really bring me a car? I heard from Li Jiawei that Volvo is the safest car in the world, smoother than those small animals, and most suitable for picking me up. I've asked around, and that car costs four hundred thousand! Did Tang sister give you the money? You can't owe Tang sister. Doesn't Uncle Guan have two hundred thousand for buying a car? Ask him for it."

Tu Xiao, standing not far away, had a twitch in the corner of his eye. How could his daughter's elbow bend outward? Guan Junbiao felt embarrassed and scratched his head, pointing at the case in Jiang Fan's hand.

"Young mistress, the money has already been given to Brother Jiang."

Jiang Fan smiled and nodded.

"Yeah! Your dad gave me one hundred and thirty thousand, saying seventy thousand is for your dowry. As your uncle, I'll take a little less. I'm afraid your dad will let someone cut me."

"He dares! Tu Xiao! Are you bullying my uncle?"

Tu Xiao instantly cowered, bending his waist, rubbing his hands, and grinning.

"How dare I? How dare I? Your uncle gave it to me voluntarily, saying that as an uncle, I should fulfill my responsibilities. When you marry Jiawei in the future, consider it as his gift, right Jiang Fan? Biaozi, go prepare. It's time for lunch for the brothers. Also, settle the wages for last month. Let someone prepare. It's lunchtime. Let's eat together."

Tu Xiao didn't give Jiang Fan a chance to refuse. Jiang Fan checked his phone and saw that it was almost one o'clock. How long would a meal take?

Just as they walked into the hall, Li Jiawei turned around and ran back. Jiang Fan also lowered his head and turned around to leave.

Fate is strange. Who would have thought they would meet Tongyao here?
