"Look, our movie is set to be released nationwide on New Year’s Day. Time is tight, duties are heavy, and if we miss the Spring Festival slot, the next slot will cost us a lot of money, at least hundreds of millions of RMB.
Moreover, our movie is also scheduled for a global release. If that gets delayed, we won’t be able to fulfill our contracts with the film distribution companies, and will have to pay hefty penalty fees.
And if it’s released globally, the losses in box office revenue with an audience that large will be at least several hundred million RMB. Yet after all this, I’m only asking you for ten million US dollars. Doesn’t sound unreasonable, does it?"
Tang Qing calculated the bill for the slim, tall man.
The slim, tall man and his associates were completely flabbergasted.
They had come out today to collect a debt, but after kicking a garbage can, they found themselves owing someone ten million US dollars. And that was after the man had reduced, and reduced again, the amount they owed him. If they had to compensate him full scale... Oh my, this guy was clearly blackmailing them.
The slim, tall man felt his blood pressure skyrocket.
"You, you, you... You’re extorting us, there’s no way we’ve caused such a huge loss." His face was slightly distorted, his body trembling violently. Fear was taking over, he couldn’t agree to this demand.
Seeing the reaction of the slim, tall man.
Zheng Lin quickly turned his head away and covered his mouth, laughing wildly inside. Who would have thought that the harmless-looking young man had such a brazen and crafty side, turning blackmail into a deadly pit.
"Whether you caused a loss or not is not for you to determine. But look at you, you don’t have much money. So, call your boss to bring the ransom. Otherwise, you might just have to wait here until the police arrive."
Tang Qing waved his hands, his expression seemingly saying ’I had no choice, it’s all your doing, I’m the victim.’
"I, I, I..." The slim, tall man was on the brink of tears. He had come here to settle accounts in the first place. If he were to call his boss to ransom him, he felt that by tomorrow, he would be missing some...parts.
"Alright, stop making that sad face, honestly, you’re such a wimp. Call your boss Chu Wang, let him come over. Today’s matter needs to be settled." Tang Qing had got tired of teasing the fellow.
This loan debt has a problem, the investigation by the command room showed that Hu Li’s family had been deceived. Therefore, since he had encountered this problem, he definitely needed to solve it. Repaying the money? That’s out of the question, he would only talk to their boss.
The slim, tall man’s face turned pale again.
Tang Qing actually knew his boss Chu Wang.
It seemed that escaping by force today was not an option, others could find him.
"Well, I didn’t expect you to know our boss. Seems like we’re all friends here. Please, for the sake of our boss, let me go, I was wrong." The slim, tall man pleaded with a bitter face.
"Could you write off Hu Li’s debt?" Tang Qing sneered.
"I...I can’t." The slim, tall man genuinely didn’t have that authority.
"That settles it, call your boss. You can’t handle this matter." Tang Qing said.
"I..." The slim, tall man really didn’t dare make the call.
"Do I have to make the call myself?" Tang Qing’s tone turned icy cold all of a sudden.
With that one sharp glance, the slim, tall man felt a chill like he had descended into a frozen cave.
Those eyes.
Almost scared him peeless.
Forcing himself to stand, he hurriedly said: "Alright, alright, I’ll call. I’ll call."
Tang Qing withdrew his mind power.
Gave a slight smile.
"Go stand in that corner and make the call."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
The eight men hurriedly retreated to the corner.
The slim, tall man took out his phone, stared at the burly man in front of him, gritted his teeth, and dialed Chu Wang’s number.
...
PS: It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve written something so ’Great Sorrow’ like this. Allow me to do so this time, haha.
