Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Help Out_1

It seemed that these three, indeed, had not received any money.

So, had Yuantu really not followed my orders and paid them?

Damn!

How could this happen!

Old Lady Luo, in a fury, said to the butler beside her, "Go find Yuantu and bring him here, I need to confront him face to face!"

The butler nodded and quickly turned to look for Luo Yuantu.

"The three of you, please listen to me first."

Old Lady Luo calmed down and said in a deep voice, "The day before yesterday, I had asked Luo Yuantu to make the payment to you."

"For some reason, he has not yet paid you."

"Regarding this, I apologize to you. It is my negligence, for not having properly controlled my subordinate."

"But rest assured, the money owed to you, Luo’s Group will definitely pay back!"

Supplier Wang, the owner, snorted coldly through his nose, bluntly saying, "Ever since we started working with Luo’s Group three months ago, we haven’t received a single payment!"

"Up to now, it has already amounted to six million! Old Lady, as the chairman of Luo’s Group, I hope you keep your word!"

Old Lady Luo smiled slightly, confidently responding, "Of course, I’ve been in charge of Luo’s Group for so many years and have never broken my promise."

"Moreover, Luo’s Group is thriving now, all projects are proceeding vigorously. Honestly, we do not lack this bit of money."

Wang, the owner, nodded, as he still believed what the Old Lady had said.

After all, he had seen the dozen or so real estate bosses in the hall; Luo’s Group being able to invite so many distinguished guests suggested that the projects were indeed going well.

Old Lady Luo was truly a seasoned player; she had managed to stabilize the situation in just a few sentences.

However, the butler had been gone for almost ten minutes and still had not found Luo Yuantu, which made Old Lady Luo somewhat panicked.

Could it be that Yuantu has absconded with the money?

But no, he had no reason to do that.

While a storm raged inside Old Lady Luo, her exterior remained very calm. "The three of you, please rest here for a while. Our banquet will soon be over and when I have finished attending to those important guests, I’ll deal with your issue at once."

Having said this, she leaned on her cane and slowly turned around, heading for the hall.

Though slightly disgruntled, the three of them knew that in front of these real estate magnates, they were indeed small fry.

Also, being in the Luo Family Villa, they weren’t worried about Old Lady Luo and the others running off, so they held back their irritation and watched her leave with cool eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly sorry for dealing with a small matter,"

Upon arriving in the hall, Old Lady Luo let out an awkward chuckle, "Let’s continue our conversation. Zi Tong, where did we leave off just now?"

Luo Zitong, understanding the cue, nodded and said, "Oh, Grandma was just saying how Luo’s Group has been developing rapidly recently, with every project proceeding feverishly. It’s just that we are slightly short of funds, and we hope Director Li, Owner Wang, and General Tu can settle part of their previous payments."

"This will make our work going forward a bit easier."

"That’s right!" Old Lady Luo gave Luo Zitong a look of approval then proceeded to butter up, "Director Li, Owner Wang, General Tu, all of you are important figures in Jiangling City."

"With funds counted by the billions in your hands, this matter of a few tens of millions is nothing but a trifle to you."

"Considering how pleasant our cooperation has been, please do help us out!"

Director Li of Jie No smiled faintly, skillfully deferring, "Old Lady, it’s not that we don’t want to help, but we’ve signed contracts in black and white, and we need to adhere to protocols."

Old Lady Luo replied with a smile, "Rules are inflexible, but humans are adaptable, right?"

"You saw just now, even migrant workers have come to my house asking for money. Luo’s Group is indeed facing some trouble; Director Li, please be accommodating. After all, our Luo’s Group won’t run away. Right?"

As she spoke, she immediately signaled her granddaughter with her eyes.

Luo Zitong’s lips moved slightly; how could she not understand her grandmother’s meaning?

She gritted her teeth, took a step forward, grabbed Director Li’s hand with both of hers, and cooed, "Director Li, please help us out. If you agree, I..."

Her subsequent words were as quiet as a mosquito, audible only to Director Li.

Director Li was visibly tempted, his right hand surreptitiously grasping Luo Zitong, but he cleared his throat and stated, "Well, Jie No has also been cooperating with Luo’s Group for some time now."

"We know you are an outstanding enterprise, and it’s not that we can’t help."

"Here’s the deal—if Secretary Wang of Shengtian Group is willing to lead in advancing the payment to Luo’s Group, we at Jie No will follow and sign as well!"

What a move!

Director Li aimed to bring Shengtian Group into the picture while also probing Luo’s Group’s rumored excellent relations with Shengtian Group.

If the rumor were true, their early payment would be a timely aid to Shengtian Group’s partner and might also earn Ling Yuzhu’s gratitude.

If the rumor were false and Shengtian Group was unwilling to pay, Jie No would suffer no losses.

Owner Wang of Wei Kang and General Tu of Gao Yuan, being astute, understood Director Li’s maneuver and thus nodded in agreement.

Old Lady Luo was momentarily at a loss; in the end, it all depended on the decision of Shengtian Group’s Secretary Wang.

Looking at her grandson Xuan Ran’s expression, it didn’t seem like the negotiation was going particularly well.

And Luo Yuantu, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed, and he was still nowhere to be found. How frustrating!
