?Tip her 20,000 yuan!?

Once he said this, Tang Muxin puffed out in laughter. As for Tai Yajing, her eyebrows almost went vertical as she frowned in anger. ?You, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I will want your tip! You think you?re extraordinary just because you?re rich??

Hong Anbao face turned green and slammed the table fiercely. ?Don?t be too much! Is Lady Tai Yajing someone you can speak to??

?Oh?? Hong Dali shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. ?Whatever, I shan?t say more to her then. Xiaoyi, you can have the tip, instead.? As he spoke, he started eating again. ?If there?s nothing else, I?m going to have my meal first. You don?t say, I?m actually quite hungry.? Before he came, he didn?t eat much. After all this commotion, he really felt hungry.

?Anbao, let?s go. There?s nothing much for us to say to this prodigal.? Seeing that Hong Dali really started eating, Tai Yajing shook Hong Anbao?s arm and said, ?He?s so impolite, it?s unpleasant just to look at him.? Tai Yajing was aware that the relationship between Hong Dali and Hong Anbao wasn?t good.

?Oh?? Hearing this, Hong Dali slowly turned around his head and looked at Hong Anbao. Then, carefully looked at Tai Yajing who was hugging his arm. He snorted and decisively turned his head back. ?I better just look at the pork shoulder…?

Upon hearing this, Hong Anbao, who was smiling coldly, immediately burst out in rage. ?Are you saying that the pork shoulder looks better than us??

Tang Muxin and the nine lackeys were already laughing until they almost couldn?t catch their breath. This Hong Anbao was really cooperative and replied to Hong Dali?s provocation.

Picking up a piece of meat and putting it into his mouth, Hong Dali lazily replied, ?The pork shoulder can help to ease my hunger, but looking at you reminds me of the sea.?

?Reminds you of the sea?? Tang Muxin curiously asked. ?Dali, why are you reminded of the sea??

Hong Dali continued eating the pork shoulder meat as he said, ?Nothing much in peculiar, just that I will get seasick. I will feel like vomiting whenever I think of the sea.?

Everyone collapsed in laughter.

?Hong Dali, wait until the family?s meeting. I will make you suffer!? Hong Anbao was so angry that he wished that he could choke Hong Dali to death as he pulled Tai Yajing away and left. ?I shall let you have your way for these few days. When the time comes, there will naturally be someone who will take care of you.?

?See.? Hong Dali looked at Tang Muxin. ?You were still planning to ask for her autograph. She?s obviously not worth it.?

?Yup, I don?t want it anymore too!? Tai Yajing was obviously on Hong Anbao?s side. From the looks of it, they were very close to each other. Now, even if Tai Yajing wanted to give her autograph to Tang Muxin, Tang Muxin wouldn?t care less for it?this little lass? stand was very firm.

Speaking of which, although the food at this private party was almost just a decoration, it was still undeniable that it tasted quite good.

Very soon, Hong Dali was finally full. He lazily found a corner with very little people and rested on the sofa, waiting for the food to digest. The nine lackeys stood in rows by the side while Tang Muxin sat at one side and looked at the people dancing in the dancing pool with a smile on her face. It was a warm and funny scene, filled with the air of a prodigal.

As they were resting, the conversation from two people who were near them reached Hong Dali?s ear?

One person said, ?Director Huang, do you think you can increase it by a bit? My company capital flow is having some difficulty currently. Once the payment for the goods is collected, I will definitely pay up the remaining sum.?

The person who was addressed as Director Huang spoke somewhat impatiently. ?I?m also just following the rules. You?re aware too, the higher-ups are keeping a strict watch on us recently. If I don?t receive the money, how am I supposed to help you advertise your products? Frankly speaking, what if your company collapsed, who am I supposed to go get back the money from??

The first person said, ?That will not happen, Director Huang. Definitely not! I have already sold the goods, just that the payment hasn?t been made yet. The payment will reach us in just a month or two. Please help me think of something!?

From their conversation to this point, Hong Dali was already clear of the situation.

These two people, the first one had sold out the goods in his factory but was unable to collect the money, causing the cash flow in the company to break. Now, he didn?t have enough money for advertisement. If he couldn?t advertise his products, the new goods in his factory wouldn?t be able to be sold out. This would end up in a vicious loop. No wonder he was so panicked.

On the other hand, Director Huang was afraid of his company?s policies and afraid that the other person might go bankrupt. Thus, he didn?t dare to open up and agree. Otherwise, when he really couldn?t get the payment for the advertisement, the responsibility would be too great, and he wouldn?t be able to handle it.

As Hong Dali was thinking of this, he heard Director Huang say, ?Director Ji, it isn?t that I?m not giving you respect. We have collaborated for so many years, and you have never caused any problem for us?your credit has always been quite good. But there really isn?t anything I can do. It?s tough to get a loan from the bank now, and you can?t collect the payment for your previous batch of goods. I really wanted to help you, but the responsibility is too great. Once I?m found out helping you advertise your products without collecting the money, I will be reported.?

That Director Ji let out a long sigh and said, ?Since that?s the case, I shall not put you in a difficult position. Director Huang, I just raised three million yuan, can you give me some leeway and not take down my advertisement? As for the rest of the money, I will think of something and rush the other side to collect the payment as soon as possible. Is that OK??

Director Huang said, ?Three million yuan? Alright, then you can come to the station to sign the contract first. I will try my best to help you drag on for half a month. Remember, you must pay up the remaining money in the remaining half a month?s time. If not, you?re aware. Once the advertisement is removed from the golden timing, there are a lot of people who will take up the slot. If that happens, it will be difficult for you to put up advertisements anymore.?

?I know, I know.? Director Ji sighed and said, ?I will pay up as soon as possible!?

The two of them finally finished their conversation. Hong Dali and Tang Muxin looked at each other. Tang Muxin softly said. ?Surname is Ji, and he just raised three million yuan. Could it be that this uncle is Ji Zhiruo?s father??

?80%, it?s him.? Hong Dali touched his chin. ?Should I help him??

Tang Muxin shook her head. ?This is hard to help. What he needs now is to ensure that his advertisement will carry on. Once the payment stops and his advertisement is removed, the slot will be taken up. By that time, even if he has the money, there?s nothing he can do about it.?

?Right.? Hong Dali nodded and thought for a while before suddenly saying, ?Xiaoyi, go and ask that uncle to come here for a moment.? After all, this was his classmate?s father. Since he was here to squander, there was not much difference between where it was squandered at.

Soon after, that person walked over.

Hong Dali took a look. This was a middle-aged man about 45 or 46 years old. He wore a simple western-style suit with tie, and the first impression that he gave off was pretty good. However, it was obvious that he wasn?t resting well lately. His eyes? circles were a bit greenish, and his hair on the temples was turning white. It was plain to see that this event had caused him much anxiety.

?Uncle, how may I address you?? Hong Dali grinned and said, ?I heard the entire conversation between you and that Director Huang just now.?

?Sigh, don?t mention about that anymore.? Director Ji said, ?My name is Ji Tianyu, I?m the Director of Might Beverages Private Limited.? As he said this, he sighed again. It was obvious that he was feeling quite down now.

?Might Beverages?? Hong Dali was surprised. ?This is a big brand. I drink it frequently.?

?So what if that? the case?? Ji Tianyu gave a bitter smiled and said, ?The goods were unable to be sold out, payments from previous batches couldn?t be collected, no money to advertise for the products. All the bad things keep coming together, sigh.?
