Shi Gandang was stunned after hearing this.
Lu Yi actually dared to make demands? And such excessive demands at that.
They dare to ask for 100 million before even doing anything?
What makes him think he'll give it to him? That's ridiculous!
Lu Yi watched Shi Gandang's face darken, but showed no fear, as if it were a trivial matter.
Shi Gandang adjusted his mindset and continued with a smile, "President Lu is really joking."
"A prepayment of 100 million? Do you know what that means? This hasn't even started yet, and you're already trying to take 100 million from me?"
Lu Yi shook his head: "Patriarch Shi, you misunderstand. I don't want to take 100 million from you. I want you to give me a guarantee."
"Assure?"
Shi Gandang raised an eyebrow: "What kind of guarantee do you want?"
"It's very simple."
Looking into Shi Gandang's eyes, Lu Yi said, word by word, "With this 100 million, I can carry out your plan with peace of mind."
"This 100 million yuan is also a token of your appreciation, demonstrating your sincerity in this cooperation."
"More importantly, this 100 million yuan can convince me that you will really keep your promise after the matter is settled."
"Anyone can make empty promises, but I need real reassurance."
"After all, your Shi family has such great power. If you were to abandon me after using me, or even kill me to silence me, I wouldn't know where to turn for help."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Shi Gandang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He looked at Lu Yi with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Mr. Lu, you really dare to say that. Aren't you afraid I'll get angry?"
"I'm afraid."
Lu Yi nodded: "But compared to my life, this 100 million is nothing."
"Lin Ling provoked me. I only believe in things I can actually hold in my hands. To appease me, you must give me the money in advance."
"Master Shi, if you don't even have this much sincerity, then let's just forget about our cooperation. I'd rather continue to eke out a living than take such a big risk."
Shi Gandang looked at Lu Yi, somewhat surprised.
He never expected that Lu Yi would dare to bargain with him like this.
This little fish seemed to be smarter than he had imagined.
But what does it matter?
In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile.
There's nothing Shi Gandang can't get if he wants it.
He doesn't even care about a mere 100 million.
What he wanted was Lin Ling's 20 billion, and to ruin Lin Ling's reputation.
He wanted the Shi family to gain a firm foothold in Nanzhou.
"it is good."
Shi Gandang nodded and slowly said, "I can grant your request."
"But Lu Yi, you must remember, this 100 million is not given to you for nothing."
"If you dare to play any tricks, or if you fail, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
Although he had expected Shi Gandang to say such a thing, hearing it with his own ears still made Lu Yi feel nauseous.
From beginning to end, Shi Gandang treated him as a pawn that could be discarded at will.
Shi Gandang's insults to Song Luoling and his exploitation of him intensified Lu Yi's hatred.
In particular, the undisguised threat and contempt in Shi Gandang's words fueled Lu Yi's anger.
If Lin Ling hadn't contacted him beforehand and the two hadn't made a plan, Lu Yi would probably have been completely manipulated by Shi Gandang.
Shi Gandang's meticulously designed scheme will not only plunge Lu Yi into an abyss of no return, but will also cause Lin Ling to suffer enormous losses.
The Shi family, on the other hand, will reap the benefits and become the biggest winners.
When that time comes, Lin Ling will inevitably take revenge on Lu Yi, and the Shi family will definitely push him out without hesitation and make him a scapegoat.
The trust that Shi Gandang is currently showing is nothing but a mirage, easily shattered.
This old fox had no intention of letting Lu Yi go; he just wanted to squeeze every last bit of value out of him.
Lu Yi clenched his fists inwardly, suppressing his anger and trying to appear calm, even showing a hint of gratitude.
"Master Shi, please rest assured."
Lu Yi stood up, bowed slightly, and made a confident gesture.
