Chapter 1122: Huang Lele’s Compromise
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Well, you call Lele to come to my study. Let’s discuss it together!” Huang Xiaofei said to Huang Rongtian.
Huang Rongtian shook his head and left the room. In the beginning, he agreed to invest in Country X because of the lucrative profit return. However, after the last incident, Huang Rongtian also hesitated.
In particular, after learning that Huang Lele still had forty billion patacas in her hand, he intended to give up the investment of Country X. With these forty billion patacas, they could develop some local businesses very well. There was no need to take risks in Country X. Although it didn’t have the profitable income of the gold mine in Country X, the risk was almost zero.
Therefore, after thinking through the key of the matter, Huang Rongtian also changed his previous thoughts. He did not support his father to continue developing the gold mine business in Country X.
But now it seemed that his father was stubborn. He was very serious about the face problems. Young people and the older generation had different ideas. The older generation was paying attention to their appearance and face, but Huang Rongtian graduated in the United States, so he did not care much about things like face.
He was afraid that he could not convince his father on his own. Huang Rongtian called his younger brother, Huang Rongjin, and asked him to come home quickly. There were important things to discuss.
“Big brother, what happened? I am holding a collectible auction with my friends; I plan to sell some of my collection to ease the economic pressure at home!” said Huang Rongjin.
After listening to his younger brother, Huang Rongtian was touched. After all, his younger brother had never been so concerned about the family business. He was only obsessed with his collection. However, Huang Rongtian did not expect that when the family was in trouble, he would stand up and sell his favorite collection.
“Rongjin, you don’t have to sell your collection first. Even if you sold it, you can’t make much money. You should come home and discuss the important matters!” Huang Rongtian said, “Our father is going to have Lele invest her money in the gold mine of Country X in Africa. I think this money should be used in local business in the country. However, our father just doesn’t listen, so I called you to come back and advise him!”
“Ah! How can we use Lele’s money to continue to invest in gold mines?! Isn’t this a joke?!” Huang Rongjin was also a little angry. “You wait for me. I will go back now.”
“En, come back as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that our father will be impatient and call Lele personally if the time is too long.” Huang Rongtian reminded.
“Alright, I understand; I will go back now.” Huang Rongjin just hung up the phone and explained to his companion. He said that there was something urgent at home, and he hurriedly drove in the direction of the house.
Fortunately, he had been in Singapore recently and did not travel far away. Otherwise, he could not reach home in a short while.
Huang Lele was bored as hell. The only thing she could do was to go online and play games like Bubble Bobble and Lianliankan [1]. She didn’t know when this kind of daily life would end. In her heart, she hoped that Yang Ming would come over as soon as possible to get approval from her family.
“Lele!” Huang Rongtian came to Huang Lele’s room and saw that his sister was still playing a game. He sighed helplessly. After this period of reflection, he also felt that Huang Lele was really pitiful.
“Big Brother.” Huang Lele looked up and saw Huang Rongtian. She called him faintly, then she began playing computer games again.
“Lele, father just looked for me. He wants you to withdraw the money and invest in the gold mine of Country X…” Huang Rongtian sat on a chair next to her and probed.
“Impossible. I will not take the money out to invest in gold mines.” Huang Lele refused without looking at him. “Big Brother, if you want to persuade me about this, then don’t waste the effort.”
Huang Rongtian clearly felt that this time, Huang Lele and his relationship were significantly more estranged. Although the two were not born from the same mother, they were still brother and sister. Moreover, the family only had one girl. When Huang Lele was young, Huang Rongtian still spoiled her and loved her.
After he grew up, he was busy dealing with the company’s affairs, ignoring the little girl. Especially recently, because he had stood in the wrong camp, he had worsened his relationship with his sister.
“Little sister, don’t misunderstand… In fact, your big brother also doesn’t agree with this matter.” Huang Rongtian shook his head and said, “Little girl, in fact, after this period of reflection, I also feel that I have neglected your thoughts to have you marry Li Tianjia. Big Brother is here to apologize to you.”
“En?” Huang Lele was stunned. She looked up at Huang Rongtian, baffled. “Big Brother, are you telling the truth?”
Looking at his little sister’s skeptical eyes, Huang Rongtian sighed bitterly. It seems that my image of Big Brother in Lele’s mind has been completely destroyed.
“Of course, it is true! I also persuaded Father just now. I told him that if the money is used in a legitimate business, I believe that Lele will not disagree; but he should give up if he wants to invest in the gold mine in Country X! After all, we have already suffered a loss for that kind of risky business. If we suffer a loss a second time, then we will be fools!” said Huang Rongtian.
“Big Brother, you are right. If the money is really used in the family’s legitimate local business, I will not hesitate to support it, but I am obviously opposed to investing in the gold mine of Country X in Africa.” Huang Lele said resolutely, “And I will not marry Li Tianjia.”
“I did not consider the matter of you marrying Li Tianjia well enough.” Huang Rongtian said, “Initially, I thought that if you married into a rich and powerful family, it would be good for you; your happiness will be guaranteed. However, I thought about it later on. Since you have a boyfriend, I should not break you two apart, especially after knowing that your boyfriend is so powerful, and he is quite skillful in gambling. If our family business is shifting into the gambling industry, it might not be a bad idea!”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
When Huang Lele heard that Big Brother recognized Yang Ming, her heart was delighted. She was not as angry about her brother’s indifference to her. In fact, Huang Lele did not have so much hatred toward Huang Rongtian, but she was just somewhat annoyed.
Now that her big brother had thought it through, and he apologized, Huang Lele was no longer angry. As they were talking, Huang Rongjin walked in, “Big Brother, Lele, what the hell is going on?”
“Second brother!” Huang Lele and Second brother Huang Rongjin were still relatively close. When she saw her second brother was back, she was very happy.
Huang Rongtian was a little jealous looking at his brother and sister. When we were young, Lele and I were close too, right? It seems that I really ignored her feelings after we grew up.
Thinking of this, Huang Rongtian decided to think more about the feelings of his younger sister in the future, and not let her do something she didn’t like.
Huang Rongjin nodded and sat quickly at Huang Rongtian’s side, then he looked at them with a questioning expression.
“This is the case. Father intends to use the money in Lele’s hands to invest in the gold mine of Country X…” Huang Rongtian threw up his hands and explained.
“Then why didn’t you persuade father?” Huang Rongjin frowned and said. “If we lose again, wouldn’t we lose everything?”
“It’s also true!” Huang Rongtian sighed and said. “I persuaded, but father didn’t listen. He told me to call Lele to his study. He wants to talk to Lele personally. Now it’s about time. Since you are back now; let’s go up. Otherwise, if Father gets anxious waiting for us, he will come to us personally.”
“Then let’s go upstairs!” Huang Rongjin nodded. “Lele, no matter what Father says, don’t let go. Don’t take the money out. Do you understand?”
“En.” Huang Lele answered. She would not easily take the money out even if Huang Rongjin did not advise her.
The three went upstairs together to their father’s study door. They knocked on the door, then they heard their father’s voice say, “Come in.”
When Huang Xiaofei saw Huang Rongtian, Huang Rongjin, and Huang Lele come in together, he was baffled. “Rongjin is back too?”
“En, I just came back. I heard that there is an important matter to discuss, so I followed in,” said Huang Rongjin.
Huang Xiaofei nodded and said, “This time, it is indeed an important matter to discuss. It is about the survival and glory of our Huang Family!”
“Dad, if you want to talk about investing in Country X in Africa, I don’t agree!” Huang Rongjin took the lead and expressed his opposition.
“Your opposition is useless; you are not the one who pays! You just listen here!” Huang Xiaofei said faintly.
Huang Rongjin listened to his father’s words, and he had no choice but to smile bitterly. Indeed, he did not have the money, so he could not say anything. He had always been an image of a prodigal young master. He only knew how to use money but not make money, so they rarely asked for his opinion on these important decisions in the family.
“Lele, what do you think?” Huang Xiaofei looked at Huang Lele.
“Didn’t we have a deal that everything will wait until Yang Ming comes here? I don’t want to say anything before this.” Huang Lele shook her head and said.
“But now, the situation is very critical. The Li Family called and said that if the rent is not paid yet, General Kars will take back the gold mine!” Huang Xiaofei said, “If this opportunity is missed, there will be no more!”
“Dad, is that gold mine really so important? We have a lot of businesses in the Huang Family. Is it really necessary to get a hold of the gold mine?” Huang Lele said, puzzled. “Dad, we should give up!”
“We have already invested so much money. It will be a waste to give up now!” Huang Xiaofei said. “And, I, Huang Xiaofei, am a reputable person in upper-class society. If others learn that I failed in investing in Country X and came back dejectedly, how would the others see me?”
“Are others’ opinions so important?” Huang Lele frowned. “Dad, we are businessmen, not politicians! We don’t care about other people’s opinions. As long as we make money, then we will succeed. Who will care if you have failed before?”
“Heh, you don’t have to teach me these! I know better than you! But I can’t afford to lose my face!” Huang Xiaofei waved his hand and said, “Okay, Lele, as for your marriage to Li Tianjia, I will fight for it again. But the money in your hands must be invested in Country X in Africa.”
“Well, if this is the case, then I have to ask Yang Ming. After all, the money was earned by him. If he agrees, I have no opinion!” Huang Lele had no choice but to push the decision to Yang Ming.
“Good! You go to ask Yang Ming; I will talk to the Li Family again!” Huang Xiaofei suddenly made a decision. Huang Rongtian and Huang Rongjin could only smile bitterly.
Huang Lele did not bother about those things. In her opinion, as long as Yang Ming came over, all the problems would be solved. Huang Lele did not know why she had such confidence.
After Huang Rongtian, Huang Rongjin and Huang Lele went out, Huang Xiaofei also called Li Zhichun’s phone.
“Hello, Mr. Huang, how is it? Have you considered about the deal?” said Li Zhichun.
“In terms of funds, there should be no problem. However, Lele strongly disagrees with marrying Li Tianjia. I have no way. Now young people are talking about free love and not arranged marriages…” Huang Xiaofei said in difficulty.
“En?” Li Zhichun frowned. “Since there is no arranged marriage, then should the Li Family participate in it?”
“Didn’t I give half of our management rights to you…” Huang Xiaofei also felt that the Li Family was a bit too much. They had given half of the management rights, and the Li Family still wanted to ask for an arranged marriage.
“The management rights is one thing. It has no relationship with marriage. How can we ensure that our cooperation will go smoothly?” Li Zhichun sneered. “Africa is so chaotic. To speak bluntly, now I am still here, so it’s fine. If I am not here, and Tianjia is in power, what can you do if he kicks the Huang Family out directly?”
These words had a hint of threats. Huang Xiaofei naturally understood it. He was furious in his mind, but he could not find any place to vent out.
People say this; isn’t it a “kind” reminder? It implies that if there is no marriage, cooperation cannot last for a long time. Maybe the Li Family not only takes the money but also takes the gold mine, and they kick the Huang Family out instead. What can we do if they operate the mine on their own?
Huang Xiaofei was shocked and angry, but there was no way! After taking a breath, he said, “Okay, I will persuade Lele again!”
“En, you persuade her again. Make it quick. I am in a hurry on my side.” Li Zhichun said indifferently. In fact, his heart was also very anxious. He did not want to miss such a good opportunity to make money. After all, if he did not have to invest a single penny, then he could get half of the gold mine for nothing. All he needed to pay was this social relationship.
Where would he find such a good business? And Huang Lele marrying Li Tianjia was an additional condition. Even if the Huang Family insisted on not following this other condition, Li Zhichun would eventually agree.
However, there was still a possibility. He just had to pressure Huang Xiaofei a little. If it were not possible, then he would make another plan.
Huang Xiaofei knew Huang Lele’s temper. He had been persuading her for so many days, but there was no effect. If he continued to persuade, there would be no result either.
Now, the Li Family’s attitude was so tough. This made Huang Xiaofei very difficult. He did not know what to do.
“Father, how is it?” Li Tianjia came to the office of his father, Li Zhichun, and asked anxiously.
“The Huang Family answered, saying that there is no problem with the funds, but they do not agree on marrying Lele to you. What do you think?” asked Li Zhichun.
“This…” Li Tianjia’s heart was a little unhappy. Which part of me is bad? That Huang Lele actually despises me? But for the sake of family interests, Huang Lele’s things were nothing. “If it doesn’t work, then forget it.”
“En, I think so too. After all, the gold mine in Africa is a rare opportunity. It will not come again if we miss this chance!” Li Zhichun nodded and said, “We are getting the gold mine at zero cost!”
“It is true. Dad, about Lele’s matter, if it does not work, then it is fine. I will fight for it myself.” Li Tianjia nodded.
“If you can think so, it will be great. I was afraid that you will have an opinion!” Li Zhichun said, “You call Tianyu now, and ask him to tell General Kars that our funds will be transferred in time!”
“Okay! I will go to make this call. Lest the time is long, there may be another change over on General Kars’ side.” As Li Tianjia said, he quickly left his father’s office and called Li Tianyu.
Li Tianyu was hiding far away from the gold mine, waiting for the arrival of General Kars to expel Yang Ming. However, his older brother was slow to call back, so Li Tianyu’s heart was unsettled.
If the funds were not transferred, even if Yang Ming were expelled, the gold mine would not belong to him, so everything still had to wait for Big Brother’s phone call.
A ringtone sounded; Li Tianyu was happy. He quickly picked up the phone, “Hello…”
“Tianyu, I am your big brother. Our father contacted the Huang Family. The funds are not a problem.” Li Tianjia said in a hurry.
“Oh? The Huang Family agrees with our conditions?” Li Tianyu was also delighted. After the gold mine was taken down, he would manage the matters here, so he could gain a foothold in the family business.
“There is some change in Lele’s matter. The Huang Family didn’t agree, but they agreed to transfer the money,” said Li Tianjia.
Li Tianyu did not care whether Huang Lele would marry his eldest brother. This matter had nothing to do with him. As long as the funds were in place, he could be the person in charge of the gold mine.
“Oh, it is good that the funds are in place. Brother, I want to say that free love is still better. If you like Huang Lele, then you should pursue her!” Li Tianyu said with some excitement.
“Hah, you think so too? I plan to do this too!” Li Tianjia didn’t know that Li Tianyu was brushing him off, and he even replied happily.
“Yeah, I think so.” Li Tianyu said casually. “Big brother, I will contact General Kars and tell him about this!”
“Okay, then I won’t bother you. After you contact him, call me again and tell me the result!” Li Tianjia quickly said, then he hung up the phone.
