Chapter 332: Chapter 332: A Glass of Wine for a Hundred Thousand!

At this moment, Ding Lijuan also stood up and said, "Jingting, Xiao Liang agreed to this collaboration just to help you out. If you walk away now, wouldn’t you be putting him in an impossible position?"

"We did this all for you. How could you do something so heartless!"

Han Jingting felt a surge of indignation. It seemed like everything was still the same as before; her mother always stood by Ding Liang’s side no matter what!

Despite her discontent, the whole situation had indeed arisen because of her, and she couldn’t bear to just leave and abandon Ding Liang and her parents.

Helplessly, Han Jingting could only say, "The price Ding Liang agreed to earlier was never approved by me. If you really want to collaborate, two million is the most I can offer!"

"That’s assuming you succeed in dealing with the situation. If you don’t, I won’t pay you a dime!"

Han Jingting spoke with resolve, making her stance clear.

A few of the minions immediately became unhappy, "Shit, slashing the price from five million to two million just like that, are you playing with us?"

"Exactly, you think two million is enough to have Brother Ju make a move? Who do you think you’re looking down on!"

But Hao Ju simply raised his hand, "Alright, two million it is."

In truth, Hao Ju had just bluffed with the five million figure, intending to swindle Ding Liang. He hadn’t expected Ding Liang to actually agree.

In fact, Hao Ju had never truly considered handling Ding Liang’s troubles with Jiaren Corporation.

Before coming, Hao Ju had already inquired about the situation and knew that Cao Wu was the one dealing with Jiaren Corporation; a man infamous in the whole Dongcheng Development Zone and almost on par with Cui Fengjiu, far more formidable than Hao Ju himself by countless degrees.

For Hao Ju to challenge someone like Cao Wu would be out of his league even if he had the courage of a bear and a leopard.

The reason he had shown up today was simply to extort some money from Ding Liang, taking whatever he could get, knowing full well that Ding Liang couldn’t do anything to him afterward.

Indeed, Hao Ju was nothing more than a street thug who liked to take advantage of easy pickings, only elevated to the skies by naive folks like Ding Liang and Ding Lijuan.

Previously, Hao Ju had solely intended to extort some spending money, but now, after laying eyes on Han Jingting, he had a change of heart.

If he could make a tidy sum of money and at the same time take advantage of this exquisite beauty, that would be even more thrilling!

With his mind made up, Hao Ju then continued, "Two million, and I assure you, I’ll handle the matter cleanly and beautifully."

"However, we originally agreed on five million, and now it’s suddenly down to two million. That’s quite a big gap. If you don’t make it worth our while, I’m afraid my brothers here won’t agree!"

Those henchmen immediately pounded their chests and shouted, "That’s right, we don’t agree! You must make it worth it!"

Han Jingting asked, "What do you want as compensation?"

With a smug look, Hao Ju said, "Simple. You’re three million short, so just make it up with drinks."

"Three million, thirty drinks. One drink for a hundred thousand. It’s a pretty good deal, isn’t it?"

"What, thirty drinks?!" Han Jingting frowned, "Are you kidding me?"

Hao Ju sneered, "Do I look like I’m joking to you?"

"If you don’t want to drink, that’s fine too. Just pay up! Drink, or pay the money, choose one!"

In his heart, Hao Ju had already calculated, thirty drinks down, and no matter how good Han Jingting’s alcohol tolerance was, she would definitely end up incapacitated.

Then, he could find an excuse to send Ding Liang and the others away, and he would be free to do whatever he wanted with this beautiful CEO!

Hearing Hao Ju’s terms, Han Jingting was completely infuriated.

She had only agreed to the two million initially to avoid causing trouble for her parents, a reluctant compromise, but now the other party was escalating their demands, making an even more outrageous request!

"If you want to drink, go ahead on your own, I have things to do, so I won’t be accompanying you!"

Having said this, Han Jingting turned to leave directly.

However, Hao Ju immediately got furious, "Think you can just walk away after owing me a drink? Not so easy!"

In the midst of speaking, several burly men rushed up and blocked Han Jingting’s path.

Han Jingting’s face changed, "What do you think you’re doing!"

Hao Ju snorted, "Save the nonsense, thirty cups of liquor, and you’re not leaving this place without finishing them!"

"You..." Han Jingting was livid with anger, she hadn’t expected Hao Ju to be so shameless!

Ding Lijuan sighed and looked disappointed, "Jingting, look at what you’ve done! Brother Ju was happily willing to solve the problem for you, yet you insisted on making it this way!"

Han Jingting’s eyes widened, it was clearly Ding Liang who had agreed to Hao Ju’s demands without her consent, forcing her into a corner, and now she was being blamed for it!

Then Ding Lijuan turned to Hao Ju with a smile, "Brother Ju, you’re Xiao Liang’s friend, and we are all not outsiders here."

"Here’s what we’ll do, we’ll drink these thirty cups for Jingting—Xiao Liang, Old Han, and I. Let’s consider it an apology to you! Let’s just forget all about this."

In Ding Lijuan’s view, since Brother Ju was Ding Liang’s friend, he wouldn’t truly want to trouble them too much; it must be all talk.

As long as they gave enough face to the other party, everything could be resolved smoothly.

As Ding Lijuan spoke, she picked up a cup of liquor and downed it in one go, "I’ve drunk, you do as you please. Haha..."

Smack!

Before Ding Lijuan could even let out a laugh, Hao Ju slapped her across the face.

"As you please your mom! Who the hell do you think you are, fitting to drink my booze!"

Ding Lijuan fell to the ground, completely dazed.

She hadn’t expected Hao Ju to not give Ding Liang any face at all and to strike her directly!

Ding Liang, upon witnessing this scene, didn’t dare to utter a word.

Because he knew all too well that he had no standing in front of Hao Ju; if it weren’t for a few fair-weather friends, Brother Ju wouldn’t even know his name.

Han Jingting saw Ding Lijuan getting hit and was filled with rage, "What are you doing, how dare you hit someone!"

Han Bowwen also mustered the courage to speak, "If you dare to do that again, I’ll call the police!"

Hao Ju looked annoyed, "Damn it, enough with the noise. Come on, throw these three pieces of trash out for me. I want to drink with President Han alone!"

Hao Ju had indeed planned to send Ding Lijuan and the others away, and now he was taking the opportunity to do just that.

The subordinates obviously understood Hao Ju’s intentions and nodded with malicious grins, "Got it, Brother Ju!"

The burly men didn’t think twice before tossing Ding Lijuan and the others out of the private room.

Now, only Han Jingting was left inside the room.

Hao Ju’s gaze lingered on Han Jingting greedily, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Finally, some peace and quiet, President Han, you can start drinking!"
