Isn't that because he was "absurd" enough to impress Prince Chong?
Li Wenchong: "..."
Gu Qingling: "..."
Other relatives of the emperor: "..."
Li Song had a shy face and didn't think there was anything wrong with him looking greedy for money.
If possible, he would like Dong Kai to pay more for him.
However, his face made Dong Kai feel helpless.
As a businessman, although Dong Kai has often dealt with people who are greedy for money, Li Song is still a relative of the emperor, right? Is this really good?
Did it completely break his understanding of the royal family, okay?
Suddenly Dong Kai felt that with Li Song's behavior, it was no wonder that the master behind him was not willing to deal with him. Even Dong Kai himself would not want to talk to Li Song if he didn't "ask for help."
Dong Kai looked at Li Song's outstretched hand and said somewhat speechlessly: "Okay, people must learn to be content. You haven't done anything yet, and you have 500 taels of silver, which is already very good. If you extend your hand again, you will be a little greedy.
It’s a shame. Besides, as long as you do things beautifully, are you still worried about running out of money?”
"Who said I didn't do anything? Aren't you on the list? If I hadn't spoken so nicely in front of Princess Chongqin, do you think Princess Chongqin would have chosen you? With your family background, compare with the others on the list
...It's nothing." Li Song randomly named a few, such as the eldest prince's mansion, the Yao family, the Gu family of Princess Chongqin, and the Wei family, the representative of an established aristocratic family, etc.
Either they are related to Princess Chong, they are originally from the same lineage, or they are powerful.
What does the Dong family have?
He's just a businessman.
"There are not many businessmen on this list."
Dong Kai glanced at Li Song: "Now you know the benefits of cooperating with me? If you want money, it's okay. It depends on your performance. If you perform well next, the master will definitely reward you."
After talking for a long time, he still refused to give Li Song any more money. The 500 taels were already overwhelming.
Seeing that he couldn't take advantage, Li Song had no choice but to give up and continue to talk to Dong Kai about the 20% "miscellaneous expenses" issue.
As the "minister" of Daming Investment Club, Li Song has the final say on many things. Dong Kai really didn't think that Li Song would cheat him in order to "retaliate" against him.
In his opinion, Li Song is his after taking his money.
Therefore, Dong Kai did not doubt Li Song. He only said that he did not have that much cash flow at the moment and asked Li Song to help delay it for a few days. Then he would collect the money and send it over.
"Then don't forget. Many other people's families have paid the bills. I can help you delay it for three or four days at most. Don't delay it for me for ten days and a half... Then, I'll go
Prince Chong's Mansion is hard to explain." Li Song said, "I didn't take the money myself. After collecting it all, I have to hand it over to Prince Chong's Mansion. There is a special person there to seal the money, and what bank will it be deposited to at that time? Specific details.
Don't ask me, I don't know, they seem to be on guard against me, afraid that I might have money ideas..."
This means that he is responsible for collecting money and taking care of the daily life of the club, but after the money comes in, there is a dedicated person to manage it, and there are several checkpoints. He doesn't have a clear idea for the time being, and he doesn't dare to take the risk.
Dong Kai also knew that the old woman Gu Qingling was difficult to deal with, otherwise the Jinjun Palace would not have suffered so many losses at the hands of that old woman. He nodded to express that he understood and reassured Li Song that the money would be delivered on time.
Seeing Dong Kai agree, Li Song almost went crazy with joy.
He had no idea that Dong Kai was so easy to "cheat". He paid whatever he said and had no doubts at all.
Not only that, he also received an additional 500 taels of "hard-earned money".
Li Song, who had money in his pocket, was immediately proud, carrying the birdcage, and started humming a ditty happily.
As soon as he entered the house, he was stopped by his son Li Xing.
"Dad, did you go to collect money today?" Li Xing looked suspicious, "Where's the money? This is the club's money, you can't touch it blindly."
"Who touched it blindly? Who touched it blindly? Are your father and I like that?"
"yes!"
"You..." Li Song almost choked. What is he like in his son's heart? Is he so unreliable?
I originally wanted to "share" the joy of 500 taels of silver with my son Li Xing, but I suddenly lost my mood. I thought it would be better to secretly give it to my precious grandson Li Qian and reward him well.
Grandson Li Qian: "..."
Master, where did you get so much money?!
After receiving Li Song's "reward of love", Li Qian felt extremely stressed.
I very much doubt whether his father borrowed money from someone else behind his back, or pawned some of the family's treasures.
Without saying anything in front of Li Song, Li Qian turned around and handed over the 500 taels of silver himself.
As soon as he got 500 taels of silver, Li Xing almost died of anger.
He knew that asking his father to do things would not do anything good.
Look, after only collecting money for a few days, how come his father has an extra 500 taels of silver?!
Li Xing was angry and anxious, fearing that his father would make a mistake.
He almost didn't take the 500 taels of silver to question his father Li Song, but fortunately he controlled it. He was afraid that his son Li Qian's "backstab" would hurt his father's heart, so he held back and only adjusted in secret.
Where did his father get these 500 taels of silver?
After knowing that his father Li Song was unreliable, Li Xing kept an eye on the money in his father Li Song's hands very closely, fearing that his father Li Song would "squander the family", so how much money did Li Song have and where did it come from?
He knows it very well.
It didn't take long for Li Xing to find out.
The Dong family came into Li Xing's sight...
has a problem!
There must be something wrong.
The list was decided by him and his father. He knew very well that there was no Dong family in the initial list. But why was there an extra Dong family in the list that was approved later?
At first, Li Xing thought it was added by Prince Chong's palace, but after seeing that it was his father who had frequent contact with the Dong family, Li Xing immediately realized that the problem might be with his father.
Why didn't the Dong family submit the application form openly and openly, but instead engaged in such petty tricks?
Needless to say, there must be something wrong.
In order to prevent his father Li Song from being confused, Li Xing felt that he needed to help "repair" - secretly looked for Li Wenchong and handed over the anomaly and the 500 taels of silver, hoping that Li Wenchong would see him as such an honest man.
Go ahead and "let" his father go.
"I know this well, please take the money back and pretend this never happened."
Li Xing was stunned for a moment.
My heart suddenly relaxed, it turned out that Prince Chong knew about it, then...
His father shouldn't be in any danger, right?
As long as it's not dangerous.
Although his father is particularly unreliable, he still has so many concubines in his late 70s and 80s, causing trouble for him all day long, but no matter what, he is still his father.
Even if he fails to live up to expectations, Li Xing cannot give up on his biological father.
